I Finished My First Competition!

Hello loves… Just a quick update.

I finally competed in my first bikini bodybuilding competition and I came, drum roll…. 5th in the Bikini over 35 category!!! I competed with about 35 other women in that category. I was also in the bikini tall category with about 50 other women and I didn’t place in that round.

Pumping up backstage before the show. I wore two bikinis for the show. I didn't place in this Bikini even though it was my favorite.

I went into this without the expectations of making call outs let alone top 5, so I was shocked that I placed. It shows hard work does pay off.

Right before I went on stage for the second category where got first call outs. And eventually placed 5th.

Life has been overwhelming the last few days because there is a lot of attention on me since I placed top 5 in one of my categories. I have spent the last few days responding to emails and vetting potential business/sponsorship requests. I also had a photo shoot yesterday and here is a screen capture of the proofs until I get the photos back.

 

This is just a screen grab of my photo shoot. I had so much fun doing it. I even did a snap chat and some videos behind the scenes.

I will try to come back and give a recap of the day before and day of competition on Friday. I travel to Africa for 10 days on Saturday for a very much needed vacation so I need to do that post before I leave.  I plan on eating a lot during vacation but I am back to my training cycle tomorrow so back to the gym for me as well.

Until then take care of yourselves. Please free to comment and ask questions. I love interacting with people. 🙂
