I couldnt find my journal so I figured I'd post here for now. I'll move this to my journal when I find it, lol! Anyway.....

Hello from California!

Wow, what a show! Over 120 competitors and very well run. The competitor's meeting was organized, polygraphs were on time and ran smoothly and the show started on time. Bob & Tina run a phenomenal show. Complete with great goodie bags and anything you need back stage.

The pros went on stage in the morning and the evening. Which was great for us. All of the pro classes were stacked with top notch competitors. I was honored to stand on stage with such a phenomenal group of women. High quality athletes and just great, friendly, super nice women. I looked the best I've ever looked thanks to lots of hard work in the gym, staying tight with my diet and Dr. Joe's assistance along the way and help peaking me this week and Saturday.

We were on stage a long time. A great judging panel had us hold poses for quite a length of time; looking us over and over, to be sure of their decisions. We were moved around a bit and I was close to center stage the whole time on stage. To my surprise, I didn't place top 5. The competition was very close and most of these women have been competing for close to or better than 20 years. Kristin Fonseca, Liza Reichenberger, Katy Wayman-White, Jan Rowlett, Susan Johnson, Kelley Green and Terri Reeves are great competitors and I hope I have a chance to step on stage with them again. It was awesome meeting all of them.

Women's Pro Bodybuilding Top 5 placings went to:

1 Katy Wayman-White
2 Liza Reichenberger
3 Kristen Fonseca
4 Jan Rowlett
5 Terri Reeves

I had a great cheeseburger and some curly fries last night for dinner. Delicious and it hit the spot! Now time to get on track and get ready for October shows!

I'm looking forward to vacationing in San Francisco with my wonderful, suppportive husband. We're meeting some friends for dinner tonight, have some nice tours set up for the week and we're both looking forward to enjoying some down time. Of course I booked a hotel with a gym!

Thanks for all your support gang over these long weeks. I'm looking forward to getting back on stage in the fall looking even better!

Now enjoy San Francisco. Its a beautiful place. I love it there. What show are you doing in October? So glad to hear from you. I was definitely thinking of you Saturday.

THe pics Dan took aren't really worth posting. They're dark and didnt come out that well. When I get some from the show photographer, I'll post them up. I'll need to get a journal going for that though.

Thanks for the comments girls.

Speaking as the show photographer's wife, I'll tell you that her pix look phenom!!!! He's almost done with the pix and they should be out by the end of the week.

Julie, it was so great to meet you in person! You're one of the reasons I'm back on the forum. Just seeing all the pros on stage was inspiring and motivating!!!!

I'm feeling pretty good this week Ben. Prep up to my first show as a breeze, which is amazing to even say that. But since the show, I've been a little deflated, lost a little motivation. I'm getting back in the swing of things this week though.

I told Joe I needed a bitch slap and boy did he give me one! Lol! Dropped my carbs down to 60-70. I deserve it after slacking for the past few weeks.

It'll be good to meet you as well. I always enjoy meeting people at the shows. It's like a family reunion each time!
