It's SHOW TIME!!!!!!

We got up at 6:15am and started on hair/makeup and breakfast.  I did my own hair/makeup/nails to save on costs.  I think it all came out looking pretty darned good. 

Top placement or not, I'M PROUD and humbled! Thank you to my supporters out there today!

My niece Alli also entered the show with me!

 

I did a play by play on FB, there is no better way to describe it than to post my feelings as the day progressed...so here goes.!

After morning show I posted:
"I'm overwhelmed by the show of support this morning! The cup in my heart runneth over."  (I had at least 20 supporters in the audience, it was such a great feeling to be supported by such great people).

Also posted this: "What an amazing day and first competition! I had so much fun and learned so much. Although I didn't place in the top 3, I got 8th out of 12, I overcame my fear of being in front of people in a bikini and walked out LIKE A BOSS at the age of 39 with a 2 yr old kid, in the best shape of my life! My gorgeous niece Alli placed 2nd in her class! I'm soooo FREAKIN proud of her, words cannot express how overjoyed I am for her!
The judges said I was too lean and cut for bikini and that I woulda rocked the Figure level. So come Monday, BLING is in Beast Mode for the next one. Watch out world!"

Almost the entire front two rows were for me!

Part of my Derby team came to cheer me on, even on a game day!  Gotta love them.

My sisters were there from start to finish!

Dad came too!

Of course my biggest fan/supporter and the love of my life was there, front and center!


 

The woman behind these ROCKIN Bod's...Amy Moore of Fit & Psyched Training.

 I hit the stage and felt amazing!!

 (it was REALLY hard to hold my smile for so long, have to work on that).

 

 

 

We headed back home for the intermission between shows.  Had to pick up our daughter from one sitter and bring her to another for the night show.  Also had to eat and prepare meals for the rest of the day!

The night show was much more relaxed and exciting! 

Watch me on stage here: Bling's First NPC Bikini Competition!



After the show, excited for CAKE!

OM NOM NOM, get in mahhhh bellllllaaaaay!!!!

We left the show ready for the Food Fest!!!!  Which consisted of 4 of my 3 layer cookies (bottom layer chocolate chip, middle oreo or a reese's peanut butter cup, top layer brownie) and also had a slice of cake (vanilla and chocolate cake with layers of strawberries and butter cream).  Then drove the 40 minutes home and to GREASE BURGER for a Ron Burgundy Burger with OMG Cheese fries!!!  It was HEAVENLY.....

I slept like a baby Saturday night!!!!  Only to get up Sunday to continue my Foodapaloosa!!!!!!  Had breakkie with friends at a place called John G's that is famous for it's breakfast.  (I had never been)  Got there and couldn't choose between 3 different French Toast choices, so I got them ALL!!!!!  And ate them all :)

I look like I'm gonna make love to the food!

My food baby!!! HAHAHAHAA

I followed up the brekkie with a small bag of chocolate covered pretzels in the afternoon and went to Mellow Mushroom with more friends for some derrrishous pizza, I had my own pizza to myself!  Followed up by dessert with my daughter at Sloan's Ice Cream Shop.  A brownie sundae with 3 scoops of ice cream!!!!  MMMMMMMMM, so good.

 

It was such an amazing experience and even better Food Fest!!!  Can't wait to do it all over again!

XOXO, Bling, NPC Bikini/Figure Competitor!!! 

Twas the Night Before Show Time.....

OMG...it's here!! I can't friggen believe it.  It's the day/night before my very first NPC Bikini Competition. 

Spent the day packing and prepping.  Oh and BAKING!!!  This is soooo happening after the show tomorrow night.  I'm so excited!

Also spent the good part of the day working with the tanning company (helping them prep all the contestants that got tanned) in exchange for a FREE TAN for me, yay!  $110 value.  Not a bad deal.  It was a great experience, met lots of the competitors, which broke the ice for show day.
Here I am after my tan...HOLY MOLY!!!

Gonna TRY to get at least 6 hours of sleep now! 

XOXO, Bling

Final prep and CARBS!!!

Had my final workout last night.  I am now on cruise control until the show.

Today is 2 days out from show time...I'm allowed a carb with ALL my meals and it's the best day everrrrrrrrr!!!!  I'm sure Sunday will top it tho (CHEAT DAY), WHOOP!

Got my hair done today...Keratin Treatments rock!

 

XOXO, Bling

 

 

ABSolutely amazeballzzzz!!!!

OMG....my abs!  I cannot believe the changes I am seeing in my body these last couple of weeks.  It's frikken crazy.  This pic was taken yesterday..at 6 days out.  5 more to go!!!  I'm so very excited to hit the stage and even more giddy to get my CHEAT FOODS!!!!  LOL

Also playing with makeup today and the next few days to get my stage up perfected!  I kinda feel like I have peacock feathers hanging off my lashes with these falsies on, LMFAO.  But my lil sis, who is a makeup guru, says they are great for stage cuz they can be seen from far away! :)

XOXO, Bling

Everyday is leg day!

UGH!  Seriously everytime I see my trainer it's leg day!  LOL

It's my weak area, so we're working on it as hard as we can before hitting that stage.  The changes are unreal...can't wait to see what I'll look like say 6 months from now!  I know I can't be perfect for this first show and it's taken me a little while to come to terms with it.  I now realize I've only been training for 3.5 months and I can't expect miracles (although I've made some amazing changes/gains).  My trainer has told me to use this first show as a "learning/growing experience".  And she's right!  It's a smaller local show where I can learn the ropes and work on perfecting my game. I'm just hoping to overcome that fear of walking around in front of people in a bikini (I've always hated my ass/thigh area), and I hope to at least place in the top 5...if there are even that many contestants...LOL!  We're gonna work HARD these next 3 months to try and get me in contender shape for a National Qualifier in November!

Less than two weeks til show time!

So many mixed emotions right now.  Excitement, a bit antsy about stepping on stage in such a teeeeny weeeeeny bikini, some guilt over the cost of this lil adventure of mine.  My husband keeps reassuring me that it's fine (he's the one that talked me into doing this with him).  So I suppose if he's ok with it I should be ok with it too :)  He's such an amazing support system for me.  I don't know what I'd do without him on this journey with me.

Pic update: 1.5 weeks to go!

Teeny Weeny Bikini

So I picked up my bikini on Friday!  OMG is it small but, badass!!!  Sorry no pics of the suit or me in it til SHOW DAY, which is in 2 weeks by the way. I also picked up all my jewelry...

Eeeeeeeeek, I'm so excited.

I had a break from no carbs for a day and a half, YAY!  But am now back on no carbs til at least Wednesday when I get another body evaluation, BOO :( 


We had a game this weekend....WE WON!  212-128

In my warm up suit from my derby wife!!!  LOVE IT

XOXO, Bling

Feelin a bit CRAY CRAY

Entering day 6 of eating only oats as my carb of the day...followed by 4 meals of fish/veg...finishing off with a final meal of only protein. I think I am literally LOSING MY EVER LOVING MIND! I am constantly thinking of my CHEAT DAY, Aug 25th!!!

My weight is  down to 111.2 as of today from 128 when I started training for this but, I'm still not happy with my ass/back of thigh area...it's still jiggly/cellulite-ish. I'm so worried it won't be gone for show day!  I really don't want to let my training team down. We're working legs twice a week now...and I'm hitting hammies on my own as well a couple of times a week.

I DO NOT want to be THAT GIRL on the stage that everyone says, OH MY GOD, SHE SHOULD NOT BE UP THERE. How embarassing is that?!! I honestly feel a bit like I'm not in control of anything anymore.

So back to my CHEAT DAY....LOL! I have too many options...I just don't know what to do!!! I definitely want a YUMMY breakfast of either French Toast with powdered sugar and maybe pecans/caramel or maybe a strawberry and cream cheese filled kind :)

For regular food I'd love to hit Mellow Mushroom for some derrishous Kozmic Karma pizza!

But I also want to have a Ron Burgundy burger with OMG cheese fries from Grease Burger!!

Sushi sounds amazing as well..maybe a Sex on The Moon roll!!

For DESSERT...I'm dreaming of Chocolate Thunder from Down Under from Outback Steakhouse!

Or a warm carrot cake from J. Alexander's (which also has an amazing burger),

Maybe a chocolate chip cookie sandwich made at Sloan's Ice Cream Shop...

And I just saw a Baskin Robbin's commercial for their flavor of the month which has honey roasted nuts, salted caramel, and oreos in vanilla ice cream! WTF?! SERIOUSLY

 I can get most of these things in my BACKYARD as I live in a condo inside an area called CityPlace. Basically it's the downtown hub of Palm Beach County and houses all kinds of bars/restaurants and shopping!!!!

WHAT AM I GONNA DOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Then only to start back over on Monday following my show to prepare for another that will be 5 weeks out!! I AM A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT!

XOXOXO, CRAZED DERRANGED & HAAAAANGRY Vicky/Sh0ewh0re7/Bling

Hey fishy fishaaaaaaay!!!!!

OMG I think I'm growing gills!!!  3 weeks out and eating fish like I'm a shark in the seas.  UGH

Got my hair color done for the show!  Next will be a Keratin treatment so it's smooth, shiny and straight!

 

 

Down to 113...these are my "tight" jeggings!  Guess all that fish is doing the trick ;) 

 

Can't wait til Friday....I go try on my suit for final alterations!!  Yay

 

Oh and I got some awesome new kicks!  So badass!!!

 

 

XOXO, Bling
