Culmination Day!

Yesterday I competed in the 2015 ANBF NATURAL GAMBLER’S CLASS II – WOMEN’S FIGURE competition.

The show was a culmination of months of hard work and dedication in the gym and in the kitchen.  Being my second show, I felt more confident and a bit more comfortable on stage.

I have a lot to say about the second go round, but this post shall stay short and sweet. In my next post, I will say more about the preparing for the show and my overall experience.

Today’s agenda involves nothing by staying in my PJ’s (all day), sipping on coffee (with cream and sugar), and just chillin’.

The results:
