I went...I walked...I didn't fall down

When I started this blog, it was to walk us through a journey to a competition of which I had never been..I did not blog near as much as I should have and 3 weeks later, the event has come and gone. It was a stressful journey but I made it through my first competition in one piece...Let's give a brief recap of how far we've come..

Dec 2010...
Weigh In 162
Waist 31
Hips 40.75




April 24 2011
Weigh In 143
Waist 27
Hips 35
















Competition Day
Weigh In 138

So did I win? Nope...I did not place. Does my journey stop here? Nope. Next competition, in July. What did we learn from this experience?

  • When you do not show up on stage for your event, you don't receive a score
  • Always bring an extra pair of clear heeled shoes 
  • Just because you are in a casino does NOT mean you can find a deck of cards
  • Johnny Rockets does not make the best brownies
  • No matter how slow you think you're walking, you're probably going too fast

But it was fun...I even have a short video to share...We are going to try this again but next time, we need to come home with a trophy...So..July 16th..We are 10 1/2 weeks out...operation Trophy has started....

Enjoy the show...
