Hog Wild

I've been gone the last week in a drunken, food-induced stupor. I figured if I ate and drank all the stuff I had been craving during training, I won't want it when I start back. We'll see.

I'm back in the gym for real this week and I have about a month until the next show I plan to enter.

It's the San Jose Bodybuilding, Fitness, Figure and Bikini Championships on July 10.

There are other upcoming shows I may do:

Vegas -- July 10
LA -- July 24
Windsor -- August 7

Anaheim -- August 14

Reno -- August 14

If anyone's interested in a trip, let me know. I'd love an entourage! ;)

Lucky 13?

So the results are up and I placed 13th among 19 in the short class. I really, really wanted to be in the top 12, but I also wanna have babies with Robert DeNiro, so...

My scoring was actually not all bad. You want the lowest score possible. Each judge give you a rank/score. I got a 10, 16, 13, 16, 9, 13, 12. So three of the judges put me in the top 12, which is nice.

Overall, I did much better than the first show. I still have a lot to work on as far as stage presence. Here's the lady who won the entire bikini contest, Joy Grajo.

Waiting

I'm still waiting on the results from the show. So keep your fingers crossed!

I'm thinking about doing another show in July, but not sure. Since the countdown to my show is over, my blog has to change focus a bit. Any suggestions?

Climbing

Hey y'all! I'm home from my show and three champagne glasses into my post party!

The competition at the show was fierce, but you're girl did pretty well. In the short class there were 19 girls. I got called up on the second line, which means I could be in the top 12. They only announce the top 5 during the show. But here are some pics!

Thank you sooo much to everyone who came to support me. My row dawgs Danielle & company, Benca, Rob and Brandon. And a huge thanks to my trainer, Kiefer and his lovely wife, Caroline. And of course, Derricke, my driver, my support, my snack provider -- thank you.

I'm bout to go crush some nachos and french toast. Catch y'all later!

Picture Me Winning

Jose was kind enough to e-mail me a few pictures from last night's shoot. I'll get the rest in a few days. Check it.

Posin'

Had my late night photo shoot with the great Jose Fajardo. And let me tell you -- it was hard.
Bless his heart, he was so patient with me. But you're girl is definitely NOT America's Next Top Model. Props to Tyra -- that 'ish is hard.

But I think we got some good shots despite my goofiness. I'll get them up ASAP.

One day to go...

Crunch Time

Almost time, gang!
Got in a brutal workout with my fearless trainer last night at the UFC gym in Concord. I didn't get to kick any ass Octagon-style, but it's a beautiful gym.

Late last night I had my first run-in with Pro Tan, the at-home tan product many competitors use. It's pretty cool stuff. Kinda gets everywhere, but after one coat I'm noticeably darker. I'll continue to add a coat each night until show day and one more that morning.

The darkness of a tan hides imperfections, makes you look slimmer and accentuates your muscles and curves under the bright stage lights.

My new tan is perfect for the photo I'm taking tonight. Friend and photographer, Jose Fajardo, is going to shoot me tonight!! He's extremely talented, so I'll finally have some good pictures of myself.

Stay tuned...
