Just finished prejudging....great show! Small one but the competition is fierce, let me tell you. The one thing I love about today is how I feel: calm, cool, and collected. This show, for me, is a rehearsal. It gives me more stage time and helps me prepare for the biggie: Masters' Figure Nationals on July 18th in Pittsburgh. I have some new, softer poses that I wanted to try out, along with a new set of bangs. :) Feedback from the judges will come in mighty handy as I continue prep for Pitt. As far as the end result? Whatever happens, happens. I'm keeping the journey in the forefront of my mind....
Chatted with a great friend backstage. We have competed together in several regional figure shows; this show, however, she went Bikini class. I had wanted to recommend to her she make the transition to Bikini, but I didn't know how to say it. Do you tell someone something that will help them and risk making them feel bad? So I didn't say anything. But she was thinking the same thing. Bikini is HER class! She's got the curves and the softness that Bikini requires; plus, she designs the most incredible suits I've ever seen. GO, CLAIRE!!!!
And Claire isn't the only one making a transition: I'm moving into bodybuilding. Not giving up on figure, but definitely going to give bodybuilding a try. After Master's Figure, I will start prep for 1 or 2 regional shows as a lightweight bodybuilder. My coach already has the song picked out for my routine. OH, boy. Wait until you find out what it is!! Anyhoo, I will end the year in bodybuilding, have a good long offseason, and then decide how 2010 will go. Figure? Bodybuilding? Figure AND Bodybuilding? The fact that I can do both is pretty cool.
Alrighty...off to clean up the house a bit. For some reason, my toilets have an odd orange tint to them....thanks alot, tanning agent. grrrr..... lol
I'll post after finals.

Wow,I must be out of the loop! I didn't even realize you were doing a show!!
As far as telling your friend she should have made the transition, that is a toughie...but you're right, she was already thinking it. I know because I did the same thing and I garuntee by the time you would have gotten around to telling her, it would have been through her mind 100x. :)
Let us know how finals went!
