2011 Competition Prep

Here we go again! Alas, just as I wrapped up last year thinking I would never do another competition...I have been pulled into doing more this year! The one thing that will be interesting about 2011 is I now have a huge back tattoo and I'm wondering how this will effect the judging from a muscle definition perspective. My back is probably my greatest asset when it comes to figure competitions and I feel that now my tattoo will scew the lighting and definition when bringing out my muscles on stage. Yikes!

Does anyone have any experience with judging when it comes to these particular situations?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

Oh...and here is the lineup for 2011:

July 16th - INBF Natural Fitness Show - Austin, TX

August 12th - Europa - Dallas, TX

October 1st - Alamo Showdown - San Antonio, TX

What Defines You?

A couple of days ago my husband asked what defined me. I didn't really know how to answer this question and was a bit disturbed that I wasn't sure what defined me. I know that I am both physically and mentally strong, but does that really define who I am?

I became hung up on this question and think about it quite often. Some people define themselves as being attractive, but as you get older and the attractiveness starts to fade, then what? I can be both mentally and physically strong for a long period of time, but eventually that will also fade and what will I be left with?

How do you define yourselves?

Mo's Doughs

I have started selling all my baked goods online for those that are interested! I'm really excited about this new adventure in my life and hope to one day own my own bakery.

I just got this site up and running so there are only 2 items currently listed. But, rest assured, there will be many more goodies uploaded soon!!

Check it out!

Diet Diet Diet

I have recently started my diet again since my show is now less that 15 weeks away. I'm in the bulking phase right now and feel disgusting. I can't wait until I start the cutting phase of the diet so I can feel normal again.

Ughhh.
