Well Aj and all let me start with I only got 6th place..... BUT I have had the time of my life. This is AWESOME and I am hooked!. I know exactly how, what and where I want to do differently for going forward. This has been so educational. I knew at the weigh in I am too small. I had the hardest time with my weight that last week. I was too stressed out over being laid off and trying to find a new job that I did not take care of business like I should have. I do feel better about my quads and gluts (this does not mean I will not forever moan about them though!) My quads and gluts are every bit as good as most of the women younger than me....I really have not appreciated them like I should have. My biggest draw back is my size. If I hear the word tiny one more time I think I will throw up! It was not a bad tiny...I am all there and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt now I look good.... ( MY GOSH I have never received so much male attention!)I am just a "miniture" so to speak...hee....hee.... I weighed in at 106 pounds. They lumped all masters women together since I was the only light weight to show.and I went next to women who weighed from 127 - 159 pounds. Ah.... but it was cool to know my body fat was lower and I was the second to the eldest woman. They kept telling me masters is for women over thirty five....I was yeah...I'm almost fourty....so..... I like looking younger too. Most people associated with the show and the trainers with the show want me to concider doing figure next time even though I am very cut. The figure girls are getting more and more cut. And even though they are usually younger women I can still hold my own with them in that area. I think people kept goping on about the figure thing cause I am so petite. I feel really good about my symetry. I am more proportioned and balanced than I realized too. I am just small. I would like to weigh in at 118 pound next time..... I think I know how I can keep more weight on me too. I have already started my plan..... (as soon as the sugar I indulged in wears off) I have learned so much about my body and myself! I made some really wonderful new friends I will be keeping in contact with too. Well I was also offered a job while I was away...it will not be a long term permant type but it will keep the dogs from the door and hopefully give me time to get my "ducks in a row" so I will be better prepared if another lay-off comes along. I am going to start implementing my new training regimine this week in between clients. I will also do another cycle in December. I know I will use winny again, but this time I want to add something....I still am working out the details...I need some size and be able to keep it! I will post some pics if the ones my friend took come out clear enough! Thanks everyone! AJ...you go kick some butt!!!!!!!!
