apriltrainer Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 So I am here @ the hotel and anticipating my first contest. Nervous. I just talked to two girls who talked about eating nothing but chicken breasts... Actually I am bigger than they are! Lol. They are competing in figure and I am competing in fitness model because I doubted my physique was muscular enough for figure. I was wrong! Next time...I will not doubt myself or my dietary habits. Oh well. I will still have fun experiencing my first competition. A little worried because all these women are tlaking about how much their swimsuits cost...(I am such a newbie..I didn't know competitors specifically got swimsuits just to pose in!) I bought mine for $15.00 at old navy. The others ...the next cheapest one someone bought was $150(and you can't even swim in it!) My shoes- $20.00 . the others- $140!!! Eeek...I think I am out of my league. At least wardrobe wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apriltrainer Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Sure I'll post pics. I got 4th and all I kept hearing all night was "how come you aren't doing figure?" (I was doing bikini fitness. I got 4th place which isn't bad, especially since I was the only competitor that was older than 20 something in the division I was in. I was also the MOST muscular. (And I don't eat meat!!!) SInce this is my first time competing I wasn't sure of the categories within the comp- bodybuilding, figure, bikini, etc. And now I wish I didn't doubt my diet and did figure. Oh well. Good experience.I learned that I need to get darker(no worries, I shall get a spray tan) because I was the palest one there. And my cut abs may have actually placed me lower in the category I was competing in! I really should do my hair instead of wash and go , and do makeup. And I learned that the girls glue their swimsuits on. Yeah...it made a difference. Still -I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apriltrainer Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Well, next time is this weekend. I loved the experience so much...I am entering another comp this , instead of the fitness model category I will be doing figure. Don't think I will place at all but using is as practice for an Npc show in Nov. I am definately hooked now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djshrew Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Congrats on your last show! and good luck this weekend!Have you got your figure suit, shoes and poses down? Is it an NPC show?
