im back!

Hello :) Im editing this post to add my pics in :)

I took off for Indy on Thursday morning...thank goodness we left on time...arrived about 9:30 or so and I called April to let her know that I landed...she was already on her way!!!  We drove to Columbus only stopping once or twice??  Cant remember....but we made pretty good time.  Checked in to our luxurious hotel...NOT...and hung out...we went to some stores to get some snacks for the room :) I think we were asleep before 11:00 pm....man we can hang cant we?

Friday we went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast...of course we were good...oats with protein powder and I had egg whites too :) I did have a biscuit too ;)    Expo was super crowded....I was actually a bit overwhelmed at times...being on the shorter side and being squished between a shitload of men who don’t care who they bump into...there were times where I was starting to get anxiety...and I had to move out of the way.  Like trying to get to BSN...I told April...I will wait for you over here...and I just waited it out.....I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to find her!  But I did :) We met up with Stef and Tracy and the beautiful Ms. Kelly O :) We are BFF’s ya know ;) It was really cool meeting her finally...especially since we had a failed attempt last year!  She is so super sweet!  I felt like have known her for years!!!!  And I also met Hillary and Tara too!!  So happy to have finally met them!  Tara is so tiny!!!   Which gives me a little bit of hope that I can get there too!!!  You talk to these girls everyday online and then when you meet them it makes it so much more special :)    I wish we would have all been able to hang out longer :(

And I also met Mary....she is so sweet and her smile is so sincere and she too is so super tiny!  It was so cool meeting her and her daughter who looks so much like her!  So cute!  Congrats on your placing in masters :)

I also have to give a shout out to Kari Keenan...I came across her on Siouxcountry and I have been reading her blog throughout her prep and she placed 4th in her class!  She looked incredible!!  Congrats Kari :)

We watched the first round of the Pro Figure Prejudging....I cant even try to explain how incredible each and every one of them were!  So beautiful and elegant and their bodies are amazing and their suits!  WOW is all I can say !!!!   

Friday night we went to Outback and I had a super headache so we went to Walmart so I could get something to get rid of it.  Then we crashed! 

Saturday we got up, ate, and headed back to Indy :) She showed me around town and then I headed back home!

I had such a great time with my bud!!!!  But I did miss hubby a little ;)

So anyway...that was my adventure....now back to reality.....

Im so looking forward to getting back into it hardcore for the next 16 weeks so that I can get on that stage on June 26th!  I have a lot of work to do but I know that I am going to do it and be the best me that I can!  And as a reward for my efforts...we are planning to go on vacation the day after my show...mexico :) Yes, I know...mexico in the end of June beginning of july...it will be super hot...but its always hot...I will deal with it....if he can...he said that if I do the show we can go if I want to....and it will be an extra incentive to buy some cute little bikinis to go away with since I will be all thin :) LOL!

I didn’t get up for EMC this morning but I will be doing it in a bit after I get home... did 70 minutes yesterday afternoon and I had legs this morning at the gym.  So I have my work cut out for me...hopefully I will be where I need to be.....I should just get lipo and not worry about all this fat....it would be a lot easier :) LOL!
