stories, memories, and PICTURES all for us to see and read about!

Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
Ahhh...what a nice surprise!! Thanks Christine You are soo sweet. I'll be keeping notes from the moment I leave to the minute I get back to keep everyone involved. That’s the only downfall of competing so far away....my friends and family can't be with me, but thank goodness for modern tech. and computers.
I've met several athletes that will be competing in Edmonton and developing friendships with these great ladies!! Kim Tilden, Cindy Currie, Christine Lanois, Nancy Di Nino, Debbie Sproule, and Heather Ward will all be there and its going to be a blast, each one of these ladies is a true champion and I wish each one of you all the luck and good fortune that life can bring! I am honoured to be competing with the best of the best in Canada!! My goal is to place in the top 5 of my height class in order to qualify for the North American championships in September...top three would be a dream come true!! My hopes of the pro card at this event is pretty far off in the distance--but just being fortunate to compete in Edmonton is worth every minute of training and dieting.
The athletes have been receiving emails from the CBBF and promoter regarding the show and another event on the Sunday (July 2)-- David Fords model Search being held at West Edmonton Mall. I don't think I’m going to enter the model search--I’ll still be pretty hard look'n and for a model search they want softer girls that appeal to everyone. We may go and watch but right now that’s up in the air. Darrin and I are going to take as many pictures as we can throughout the journey so we may take the entire day on Sunday to shoot.
My hotel is booked: We'll be staying at the host hotel--the Sandman.
Flight is booked: Leaving from Hamilton via West Jet on Thursday June 29th and coming home on Monday July 3rd.
Registration: Will take place at the host hotel on Friday June 30.
So..here's the beginning of my journey..like Christine said...only 4 weeks left..soon it will be 4 days!!
Thank you everyone for all your support and friendship--you all keep me motivated and i'm hoping to bring home a trophy but if I don't at least i'll have some amazing memories and great photos!!
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
Some of the athletes that have already registered are:
Myself..lol
Jill St. Laurent
Kim Tilden
Cindy Currie
Christine Lanois
Lorraine Chan
Jennifer Reece
Heather Ward
Debbie Sproule
Emmanuela Pintus
Lynda Thoresen (she'll qualify)

So as you can see these athletes are truly incredible woman and I'm sure there are going to be many others on stage that day as well. There are 40 competitors currently registered and there's still a couple provincials left for qualifiers....
Good luck to everyone!!!
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships

Great idea Christine Shees time goes by so fast It was the other day when you were 17 weeks out LA !!! Before we know it we will be ogling at your comp photos..Yupiii I am starting to feel the vibes and getting real excited for you girl Just go and get them tiger
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
Thanks girls!! I'm am getting soo nervous--I don't know what the outcome is going to be out there. I'm trying to be confident but i just keep doubting myself..grrrrr... I have 3.5 weeks left..lots of time to improve. Had another killer leg workout yesterday--it was great but ...i can barely walk today--thank goodness i only have a couple more legs days left.
Thanks for all your support--it definately plays a huge role in motivating me
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
LA I tend to doubt myself too...always freaking out I will not be nice and tight in time Bt on the other hand I do use my mind to help me and overcome that I picture in my head how I walk the stage,how I smile,stand etc...In my mind I am real confident and vibrant and when I do step on stage it somehow pops out and I am that confident chick I saw in my mind You will be sweet once you hit the stage, I am sure of it
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
Sorry...this has been a crazy week and I've barely been on the computer. Blogger is down right now so i figured i'd give a little update here while i'm waitng to do my journal entry...
This week i booked my hair appointment, makeup lessons (just to be on the safe side) they are offering a makeup service there that i'm hoping to take advantage of, I've praticed my posing (my back is kill'n me..lol), I've finished paperwork that has to be submitted at work during the time i'll be gone but on top of it all--I've been exhausted!! When arriving home this week all i can i do is eat and goto bed--my body feels little overtrained but my excitement is beginning to take over...with only 3 weeks left--not much time.
We found out that a fellow competitor(Cindy Currie) will be on the same flight as Darrin and I so thats cool...
Goals for this week...start tanning, get my pup her shots, pick up my suits, makeup lessons and we're changing up my diet again so i'm sure my body will love that!!!--not....lol.
Thanks everyone for the kind and encouraging words!!!
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
Great to hear from you Babe Last few weeks are always pretty full on I remeber I went through major battle before Nationals...almoast giving up two weeks before the show I was just soooo drained...but at the end I just sucked it in and made it
Keep sweet and think how much fun you will have once you are there...meeting new people and to be able to see some amazing quality athletes is all worth it
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
I can't wait to go to the show..i've met soo many great gals some of whom i've met already and others we'll meet in person for the first time at the Nationals!! These next couple weeks are always the hardest...my body just doesn't want to diet anymore..but I have to keep focussed and bring my best possible physique to the National stage!!
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
Hi LA, I just want to say that I am thinking of you girl ...you have mentioned in other posts and on your blog that it is getting to you a bit You have just over two weeks to go,which might not sound too long,but sometimes it might feel like forever if the body and mind is tired. Time is always relevant to how we feel...spending time with friend and having good time for three hours feels like a blink of an eye But doing hard leg session or High intensity cardio for 45 minutes might feel like eternity Now out of all times it is the most important to remeber why we doing it and what it means to us Once you are at the Nationals all the tough and challenging times will be in past and you wil be reaping the benefits of your hard work and dedicated dieting Hang in there girl...you can practically count your remaining workouts on your hands..Yupiiiiiiii!!!
Ciao
Ps...I am sucking it in myself..soooo tired and sore..started weights after 5 year lay off...ouch,ouch,ouch
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
i got to see LA today !!! i feel sorry for all you guys who can't physically see this woman - talk about a can't wait to start my new plan in the coming weeks just to prove to her how much she can and will motivate me to get back at 'er in the gym and in the kitchen!!! keep on truckin girl!!!
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships
ok...everyone..for the next week or so..i won't be on here as often as i'm used to--i'm sure you all can understand as to why.. But i'll be checking the board everyday often so keep posting
Anyway...its been a busy little while..attending the Ontario's last weekend really tired me out and it took a few days to recover. Last night i had a slight fever so i went to bed early and am feeling a little better today. Hopefully tomorrow--i'll be back to 100%.
So update--I'm going to pick up my two piece and black prejudging suit tommorrow from Karen (KHP designs) around 4ish..i can't wait to see them, Darrin and I have been practising posing and everything is coming together, I took my pup over and got her vaccines for the kennel next week, booked my nails and toes, received my tanning stuff from UPS this morning, started buying my carb up food, received and confirmed my makeup for the comp,--so there's not too much else that has to be done but next week will still be crazy
Off to eat a meal....thanks everyone for your support--I can't believe one week today i'll be on a plane....
Re: 2006 CBBF Canadian Fitness and Figure Championships

somethings to remember and think about now:

- you are number 1 in my books and everyone else here who supports you

- through your prep you were there for MANY other competitors not sure how the heck you did it but we are all thankful for that and makes you a true athlete no matter what!
- you are going to look so beautiful and do all your family and friends proud on your big day...capture every moment you are there...then come home and share it all with us
