northwest bodybuilding show

ok i'm just home from the northwest show...my first. i only entered into one class, height. my trainer really wanted me to enter into my age class also, but she was thinking that there would be fewer competitors and bless her heart she wanted me to get a trophy! LOl i told her i'd rather be last in a big class than first in a class of one...you know?
so here was my class:
i am right in the center. the girl on my right took first.
i did not place, but it is sooo different being backstage than in the audience watching. i have another show in LA in 2 weeks, which will also be a big show so i don't expect to place there,either. BUT my trainer and i have LOTS to talk about regarding what we are going to target and what I can do on my own. I will say, though, that I am glad we found the diet mix that worked so well for me early on..i was able to lose 30 pounds in 3 1/2 months with her (and 40 before that in about 9 months), so we are not starting that far back weight-wise and we can concentrate on building up my delts and lats...and POSING practice!
oh, i also found out i am NOT a fitness competitor...or a bikini girl. I have not the desire for the first and NOT the *kitten* for the second!
.
getting to hang with these guys backstage is NEVER a bad thing:D:D:D:D

thanks...this is really the first time in...probably forever that i have looked at photos of myself and said "hm. not too bad
". and i was able to hear everything my trainer and friends were yelling at me from the audience, not nervous at all. a little more leaning out and a littlemore definition and i think i'll be pretty competitive 0
