WE DID IT! My husband, Damian & I had our first show together! He competed in the Men's Physique and I competed for the first time in the Figure division (moved up from Bikini since my first show).
Show day, it's here!!! Got started at 5am and out the door at 7am to meet with our coaches at the hotel for a final "physique check" and instructions on what to EAT! Hair & make by me :)
The check in process was a LOOOOONG one. We waited around for hours. Apparently there were a lot of walk up competitors that didn't plan ahead and PRE-register. Ugh, seriously, if you ever decide to enter a competition, BE PREPARED. Do everything necessary AHEAD of time so the rest of the well prepared people and their family and friends don't have to sit around for over two hours waiting for you. We were getting hAngry...HOW RUDE, the show started almost 2.5 hours LATE!
We made the best of it and took some time for photos!

This was the assessment of the morning show that I posted on FB:
Ok, day show was horribly late but, we had a great time once it got started. Damian went first in the Men's Physique Over 40 and was the first guy called out for first call out line ups! In Novice he was the 2nd guy called out!!! He's very excited and I'm super proud. Now me, I competed in Figure Over 30 and Novice. There were not enough girls in either category (5-6) to do call outs so we all stood in the same line from the start. I personally feel like I maybe got 4th in each. I'm lean, cut, tight, look amazing but, I lack in size. I'm too new, only a few months into training, so I'm ok with it. The feeling I have up on that stage, no one can take away from me! And I have faith that Amy will get me where I need to be! Thank you family and friends for supporting us! Even those that help behind the scenes.
"Half time" was crazy as usual for us....we always have a day show sitter and a night show sitter, so we have to go back home to do the exchanges.
Night show time came and went quickly! It was awesome.

Another amazing competition experience! I "FIGURE" this Figure division is for ME! I loved it and doing it along side my best friend and husband was the icing on the cake! Speaking of cake and food.....here's to another FOOD-A-PALOOZA!!!!!

The Grease Beast...two grilled cheese sandwiches make the buns for this burger covered in cheese fries!

Followed up today with a cheese Danish first thing before breakfast. Then drove to Grand Luxe Cafe for Red Velvet Chocolate Chip pancakes with cream cheese icing. During the day had two of my 3 layer cookies, shared some tiramisu with the hubs and then 3 slices of pepperoni, onion, and mushroom pizza with a few fries for dinner. Awesome cheat day! Food-a-palozza is done and I'm up 6lbs from yesterday at this time! LMFAO
