All Over Red Rover!

It's 5am and I am still wide awake! Have not slept a wink! I am so full from our wonderful post comp dinner, my heart is thumping in my chest and I can't sleep!

I had a fantastic day. I placed 3rd in my class. The federation split our class (into 5 in short class - mine - and only 3 in the tall class). Got to admit I when I heard that was happening I was a bit disappointed, it is meant to be a COMPETITION so a bigger class would be better. And why not split it evenly? At least my class was REALLY hot competition. I was really happy with how I came up in photos that I saw (and we have mountains of photos!) - heaps bigger and more shape than previously. My shoulders, arms, back were great, I just have to get leaner in the legs and bum. I have to do that at the risk of losing some upper body muscle. But I was MUCH fuller, rounder and thicker than I have ever been. I saw a previous trainer there who watched my division and said I had put on heaps of muscle, and my legs had really improved from last comp. So, I am happy with how I came up, after feeling very miserable a few days prior. I had a few people think I was short changed for 2nd, but it's all very subjective anyway. I will wait to see pics, and dvd until I form my own opinion :)

Kimmy was amazing, and she came 2nd!!! We were so excited for her. She was stressing so much in the few days prior, so it was so good to see her do well!

We had a BALL after it was over. 9 of us went down to Lygon Street - me, Kimmy, Margie, Di, Jodie, Ali, Hilary, Kerry and my hubby was the token male :) He did a great job putting up with all us girls, we had so many laughs. He kept hanging it on Kimmy the whole time, it was really funny :) Got some funny photos. We ordered up all these different dishes to share - 2 different pizzas, a risotto, gnocchi, osso bucco, ravioli, and some breads and dips. Then we ordered 6 different desserts - tiramisu, Tim Tam cake, cappuccino cake, creme brulee, sticky date pudding, and chocolate fudge mud cake, and all had some of each. By this stage we were getting rather full and uncomfortable :)

It was great to catch up with some people at the show - Kerry W, Beate, Kerry L, Maya, Sandy, Katie, Lisa (who won a $600 pair of sunglasses!!), Sam and Jo, and I met Lorraine, a new client and I am sure lots of other people who I can't quite think of at the moment, with my brain suffering from sleep deprivation!

Sam got 2nd to the eventual Overall winner, she had a tough class too.

Most of the girls were great, friendly, helpful, great atmosphere, fun show. We got a cute little outfit for the opening of the show, which we will be able to wear to the gym later.

Ok, well I might sign off and try and get some sleep - I am going to be ratsh*t tomorrow!

I loved meeting Hilary for the first time, what a great girl. We have all formed a really nice friendly group and I am sure there will be many more times all us girls meet up! Hilary gave me a beautiful necklace and a very touching thank you card that I will treasure :) Thank you to EVERYONE for their support, encouragement, messages, it was all so much appreciated.

And Di was a FANTASTIC backstage b*tch!!! Thanks Di, you did an awesome job. :)

Love ya's all!!!! XXX
