nervous and stressed

After reading so many threads by so many people here thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a single mother of 2 awesome little people, 25years old, part-time model and aspiring fitness competitor.
I'll be writing my exams in May for my ace personal training course. Not to be a personal trainer but so that I have the skills to train myself.
I did my first show last year and learned so much that I caught the competition bug and have made this past year a mission to be better and do a better job next year. Well that time is almost here, and all I can do is my best. Anyway, that's me.

Thank you to all for your wonderful welcome. I only hope that I can contribute to this board in an informative manner as opposed to always needing help.
BTW premier, I think I'm actually blushing. but thanks

Hi,
My name is Vinny and i`m doing my first figure competition on March 13 i`d apppreciate any advice offered by people who have competed before.I have seven weeks and i`m currently at 118 pounds with a 17%bodyfat.I was vegeterian for the last three years but recently started eating tuna to gain some mass as my trainer said i have a small frame and my shoulders just weren`t growing..Anyway ill stop rambling on and hit me up with some serious advice



My philosophy in life is that I believe Life will provide its share of ups and downs. But stand tall and realize there is a stronger force behind the scenes. Every night has a new dawning; every room has a door; every lock has a key; and every problem has an answer. So keep working hard and you’ll get what’s yours

Well it's official. I won't be competing this year due to some personal things and needing surgery. But for now I'm still training hard and at least I have another year to get ready so that way next year I'll do even better. Thanks to everyone on this board, I've learned so much and have been really upset this past week about all of this but then I look at some of your guy's pics and am immediatly inspired again. So a big hat's off to all of you and thanks
