You are best off asking j'bo she is quiet experienced in this area, but mine consists of four rounds, 2 rounds of pre judging in a two piece and a one piece and then the evening show which is one piece and two piece again. Judging is based on physique (muscle and symetry) and beauty. Hope this answers your question.

Just thought I would share some thoughts I have had last night and this morning. I had a wonderful kick in the pants from a very good friend last night and told me I need to remain focused and stop freaking out. I need that every now and then, it is just in my nature to react when things don't appear to be going as I want them and I am not a very patient person so they reminded me I need to be and to relax and go with the flow. They also reminded me that I am doing this for myself so this means I need to stay focused on myself and no one else matters at this point except for one or two people and they know who they are.

So I laid there in bed last night think about this and it all makes sense, complete sense. Then when I woke up actually early for my morning cardio, I was up by 4:50am, and at the gym by 5:10am, the sun was starting to come out, the birds were starting to sing and I just felt a million times better. My mind is at ease and I am at ease. It doesn't matter to me what people say and want me to do because I need to be doing what I want in my life and what is the best for me and my goals. Which at this point means no more trips!!! I am done traveling until at least the end of october. I will get no where if I am not in my house with my food and in my comfort zone and my routine. It just has to be that way and I am ok with that. So thank you for a kick in the ass and i am kicking my ass and enjoying it That is key to me right now, this isn't a pain in the ass this and everything I am doing I love!!!!! I love giving myself a goal and reaching it!!!!!

Great post babe. I agree with almost everything here...however the part about you kicking ass shouldnt be your main focus...i know that you have other reasons for competing and i tell my clients to focus on those more than the actual win. since fitness and figure competitions are soley judged upon personal opinion and isnt a point based sport there is ABSOLUTELY no consistency in what they are looking for. one day they may like the hardest, ripped female and one day they may choose the curvey and femine body. you never know. i am working in the IFBB federation to change this by proposing that all judges attend seminars and courses. when i asked several judges what they were looking for and why a certain person won over another they outright said "to be honest i have no idea what i am looking for". this issue will be cleared up in time as mor and more judges are well versed in fitness and figure instead of jsut bodybuilding.
Here are a few of my reasons for competing and the main focus when i train to compete. You should try to focus on these aspects of the sport and develop some of your own reasons.

-to become a more disciplined person in other aspects in my life
-to enjoy the process of dieting and training and know that small changes are lasting changes
-to meet other people interested in the same way of life (and to meet hotties )
-learn how the body can change by making the smallest adjustments
-to control your emotions under a high stress environment (the competition itself or just the dieting process)
-to learn from everyone around me
-get into the best shape possible
-show others that strength and discipline is learned and we are not born with it
-inspire anyone to become a healthier person

well i hope that these things helped you a bit. remember i am always here for you. contest prep. is VERY HARD and i tell everyone that is begining in the sport. so if you need support i am always here



....and thats my $.02

Thanks J and honestly those answers you put are many of the reasons I do what I do, whether it be competing of not, I would still be training as hard as I do, and eating the same. Competing to me is just another level to try and take myself to, I have always loved to push myself and this is just the new aspect of life I want to push myself in. I love the comradery(at times) and how I have made some of my best friends through my life in the gym. I hope this puts into perspective things I have been thinking and you are a doll!!!!

those were a couple of great posts ladies.

SS ... I believe your comments about doing it for you are very important. The missus is doing just that. She is going hard and seing changes and it's for herself. Do I think she would look better without the workouts, nope. Did I tell her that, you bet. But, I also told her not to become healthier for me, or our daughter. If she choose to do it, it has to be for her. We'll both love her regardless.



just kick'in it in the ole Charger

LOL I switch between mixing my oatmeal in my eggs and cooking them like a pncakes, a recipe our pain the ass taught me and between just cooking them and putting a the flax on them maybe some mustand or a little salsa and that is it. I LOVE MY EGGS!!!! I could eat them all day, what is getting to me is th protein shakes and flax, talk about bad after taste I haven't really found anything that hurts my tummy yet, only taking all my freaking happy pills in the morning on an empty tummy, that gets to me every once in awhile.

I am glad to hea your headache is gone and yeah my hornyness I think is reaching new levels, work is pretty much going down the tubes due to lack of focus LOL He He and I would massage your legs for yah hottie
