Naturals KW Classic Figure Competition

 

Happy 50th Birthday to me!!!!!   I did it and couldn’t have celebrated turning 50 any better.

Don’t get me wrong, it was nerve wracking and while waiting to go on stage I was cursing myself and asking what the hell was I thinking! Never, Ever! am I doing this again!  Once up there I kind of froze and barely did any of my poses.  After I got off I realized it wasn’t so bad,  I actually had fun!  Then cursed myself for doing such a shitty presentation.  You can work your butt off and be on the strictest diet but if you don’t present all your hard work well you just don’t get a good score.  I feel I could have came home with a medal when I compared my physique to some of the others. Next year I will do better.  Bahaha yep I am already planning my next one.  My husband wants me to wait at least a year, he can’t take the stress #!%?

I can see now why I was told my age category is the toughest.  Most of these women have experience and have competed in shows…a lot. Many also don’t work or have kids at home.  This is a hobby for them, something fun to do in their spare time.  I found it difficult to run a business and still be a wife and mother and train for something like this.  Every time I wanted to cheat on my meal plans I would hear Jada’s voice saying “Well the rest of them won’t be”  I think in the whole 3 month prep time I cheated twice, once on ice-cream and once on nuts.  The encouragement from participants has also been a huge motivator for me and I hope you all have enjoyed tagging along in this experience with me.

I am so grateful to my husband Scott.  His encouragement and patience was sooo needed and he was a huge help in the kitchen cooking my protein and vegetables when ever I ran out which seemed daily near the end! My daughter Carly was a rock this weekend.  She stepped way out of her comfort zone acting as my coach. She new her way around KW as she recently graduated from the University of Waterloo where the venue was held. The role reversal was sweet.   The rest of my family and many of my friends were there to cheer me on which meant a lot to me and the “girl chat” back in our rooms till the wee hours with wine and chocolate was a great way to end the day. When I say I am going to do something I never do it half ass.  I do it to the best of my ability and this show has consumed me over the last few months.   I have neglected my studio and clients long enough, SO… IT’S TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK AND KICK SOME BUTT!

Eyelashes on…heading for my tan

Flowers from “The Golden Girls” So sweet!

Trying not to look nervous. Basically didn’t move from this pose, was kind of frozen.

Trying to look like I walk in 5 inch heels no problem!

Didn’t even recognize my own Butt!

Me and my hubby

Met a lot of nice people but this women was amazing! Deborah lost over 100lbs and doing a competition was her bucket list.

 

Yes we just stand around all day in high heels and tiny bikini’s reading magazines.
