It was great to meet you and I'm so glad you came!!!!que_66 said:The trip to and from was aweful due to rain, traffic, flat tire but it was more than worth it - the good outweighed the bad a million times over and even if I knew the same stuff would happen I'd do it again. If you ever have an opportunity to attend one of these shows - do it. Things become so much clearer.
Flat tire=upper body workout - gotta be creative with my exercise now. I've changed so many tires that this was no big deal, it was just annoying.
I have to say that everyone I met is so much more beautiful in person. They are all so tiny, even with all that muscle! ....and just for clarification: They look "healthy tiny" and not "sickly tiny."
Treilin - is just stunning, picures just do not do her justice, they really don't. After following her log and watching the show - lots of pieces of the puzzle fell into place for me and I have a newfound respect for figure, fitness & bodybuilding competitors. Bunny & Nelmsjr were right there to answer all my questions about the competitors during pre-judging & then the show.........why this, how come that.......thank you both very very much.
Ducki - well you know she was flexin those perfect calves of hers.........
Scorp - she had the guns loaded and the food packed........and don't let her kid ya, she's solid as a rock.
Diva-Roo - she should be in the fashion industry - if anyone needs fashion advice of any nature or need a personal clothes shopper - - go see the Diva, you will look fabulous! Trust me on this!
Bunny - she's so much taller in person. I just love those shoulders of hers! I also have to give props to Bunny's driving skills for owning Nelmsjr on the way to the club.
IP & Nelmsjr - they love and adore each other so much that it just oozes from them. They seem to be each other's missing puzzle piece. If seeing those 2 together doesn't give you warm fuzzies you need to have your warm fuzzy maker checked cuz it's broken.
I have to say that Nelmsjr has some mad driving skills and I hereby nominate him to do all the driving at any get-together(s) that he attends! (You're welcome Ninjaman )
Gymgurl - I sat next to her at dinner and we just chat chat chat chat chatted & she was crackin me up! We could get into so much trouble if we lived closer to each other.
Mermaid & P - Where do I even start...........she's so beautiful and her voice is so soothing and "P" seems to be the nicest guy, he's also funny and watching he & nelms in their driver/navigator mode is hilarious! They are just the nicest people and I wish I could just sit and talk to them for a few hours....... You 2 will always have a special place in my heart.
Meeting the people who inspire me and keep me going, watching Treilin's comp and just being with people who have taught me, yelled at me, etc etc. was worth every minute and I feel so honored to have been there.
Joining EF really has changed my life in ways that I can't explain, and all of you have been such a huge part of that.
I met people who didn't ask "are those steroids?" when I pulled out the supps - because they were pulling theirs out too!
People who didn't fuss about the fact that I pack my food or that I eat tuna.
People who were teaching me new things instead of me re-explaining what 40/30/30 means.
That was such a nice change and somehow was just so energizing for me.
There's so many things going through my mind in regard to the weekend.........I wouldn't trade this experience for anything and I just can't seem to find the words that I need in order to convey my feelings.......
To everyone who made it possible for me to be there - from the depths of all that I am thank you very very very much .
