Well I'm taking the week off! Getting some rest. I've decided to wait till next April to compete in my next show, Pensacola is having a show at that time. I really need to focus on building more muscle in the glute area!

And maybe take a class on posing I really feel like I have two left feet when I'm on stage. LOL
How do you find out about local shows in the area? Besides the state show in birmingham next week it doesn't look like there are anymore shows around me (within an 2 hr radias) I just googled NPC shows in gulf coast area. But I'm not sure if theres any other way to find out. Anyway I'm excited to train and get prepared for the next show.
I better get to work! Hope all of you have an awesome tuesday!!!

**julberg** · #**747** 08-24-2010, 02:30 PM

Enjoy your week off Bonnie! Well deserved that is for sure! You have been working hard for a long time. Onto the off season and building those glutes!

**Tglenn** · #**748** 09-01-2010, 03:46 PM

Hey B! poppin in to show you some journal love...hope your having a great day love!!!

**Laura K** · #**749** 09-02-2010, 12:07 AM

Hey Bonnie, sounds like a great plan to me! If you google 'npc' with the state name you want to compete in then you should be able to pull up the site and find the shows that will be occuring for the rest of this year.

Have a good night hun!

Thanks hun! Oooooh you;ve got a competition right around the corner!

Ok ladies I'm back, I had to take a needed break I did start back working out on tuesday!! I'm excited to start the off season, I'm ready to build more muscle for the next comp. Pensacola is having a competition in April so I think I'm shooting for that!!! i'm hoping and praying it does'nt get in the way of the Camaro fest my husband and I go to every year! I'm not sure if I can pass up such a great time. Anyway work is slow today and I'm not used to it. I like staying busy.
Jason ( my trainer) is having my potrait of me on stage in the "heart of dixie" and hanging it on his wall at the Gym! Cool huh? I feel like such a celebrity LOL Maybe next year I'll be holding the first or second place trophy!
