Thank you everyone and special thanks to you Sassy. I really need this right now. Been very down on my self all day. Long story short next time around I got to come in a lot leaner. I kinda expected that as my abs just started showing this week but it was not a full ripped 6 pack. The girls that placed top 3 deserved it with out a doubt in my mind. I don't know where I stood out of the 7 in my class as they only gave top 3 guessing 5th or so. I didn't stick around for feed back from the judges. I will be honest I was far to disappointed in myself. Spent the better part of a 4 hour drive home runnning the past 6 months of dieting and training thru my head trying to figure out where. I went wrong and the honest fact is that if I had 4-8 more weeks I am sure I could have come in top 3. Live and learn all the girls were super nice I got great advice and tips backstage. I did get some feed back from a pro I know that was at the show basically said I have all the muscle I need just got to dial things in for the next go around. More then likely going to contact her for diet advice. Also said my posing and walk all were down and not something I need to worry about for the next go around. So I got big old cheat day planned for tomorrow and then back on the wagon.

I saw your pics you posted on Friday and you looked great. Don't beat yourself up too much. Anyone that placed higher than you must have been real good.

Like I've always said, your first show is for YOU! Even though on stage no one judges you by the road you took to get to the stage, just what you look like at that moment. But YOU know (and WE know) where you came from and that's the only thing that is important to measure yourself against. The other competitors certainly ain't gonna have QT's deadlift record and they may also have had several shows to hone their presentation. Ya gotta start somewhere and there are always other shows.

The point now is take this experience as a starting point and determine where you want to go with it. To do figure, we are talking a significant reshaping of a very muscular body. That is no small deal. If anything its probably going to be a frustrating anti climax because you can't measure progress by the size of your squat anymore. Shit, you can't even measure it by one exercise. Its about possibly losing some mass, and watchign how the top-to-bottom symmetry pulls itself out while just leaning down in general. Whoopdidoo. LOL! But these are the considerations you have to make when you choose to compete in these sports. Bodybuilding might be more satisfying. Maybe not. Figure might be, maybe not. But one thing also to keep in mind is that it is all about the journey and not the destination because once you arrive wherever you are trying to get to, you have pick up and set a new destination because things are constantly changing. You can stop & readjust your goals any point along the way. And it certainly will never be boring!

So again, huge props to QT for taking on this goal & achieving it after 6 long months of focus & training. Everything you achieved is yours to keep and be proud of.

And we still wanna see pix!

Sassy I you. See my gallery for pics Sadly not many turned out but I am hoping to get some of another friend that was in the audiance.

I did peak -- VERY NICE! I think you started out great! I was very happy w/ your back because I wanted to keep telling you to pull your shoulders out more. (Figure back poses drive me nuts anyway ... LAT SPREAD !!!! PULL IT OUT!!!!!!.... oh wait. Its figure. Never mind....) You looked good up there and it shows. Just some more tweaking.

We talked about spin classes - that's going to be high on my list this week & I hope it doesnt' kill me. EEKKK...

Handle these next few days just as if they were cheat meal days (not cheat DAYS, but MEALS!) and contain the post show bloat. Prepare yourself for a little bit of a depression - its a big ant-climax coming from a show and mentally your mind may feel lost w/o the tight trainign schedule, but your body will probably let you know that it wants a breather. So listen to it, be good to yourself this week and just relax a bit

Congrats on getting up there and doing it girl! You should never have any expectations with your first show, you got on stage, so that makes you the winner

Now you know what it's all about, and if you decide to continue to compete, you know what to improve on.

BTW I saw your pics in your gallery and you look great girl, you came along way! You should be proud of your accomplishment, you have nothing to feel bad about!

Awesome job, QT!!! Feeling some disappointment is normal - as the rest before me said - DON'T beat yourself up. You have the determination and motivation to do whatever you want!.... just give it a little tweak here and there depending on your next goal!!! :hug and pat on the back:

Thanks all I did end up getting some feedback from a judge via a Canadian board. Basically come in a lot leaner the must be a full visable six pack which I didn't have. Also told me that the suits didn't fit right which was true the one piece was to big in the butt and to be honest the finsh on my 2 piece was not very good he actually asked me if I got it off the rack. I should have complained when I picked them up but I didn't. Live and learn I will be going with a diffrent designer next time for sure.

Who did you go with again?

The one I told you about before makes beauitful suits and they fit well. So does Sylvia Tremblay.

Let me know if you need their websites QT, or if you need anything.
