I qualified for Nationals!

It was a LOOOONG day...and my body hurt by the end of it all but it was well worth it. I placed first in the NJ State Fitness Championships which qualified me to compete at a National Competition. When you compete at Nationals you have the opportunity to earn your pro card which then allows you to win money. I have 2 years to use my qualification, so I am going to make sure I am 100% ready. I have one more competition this weekend then I'm going to take a mini break to enjoy the holidays...then it's back to work after New Years. As soon as I have my routine video uploaded I will post it!

Wow, this week went fast!

It's already Friday tomorrow and I will be getting another body wrap and spray tan for another competition. This Saturday I will be competing at the NJ State Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Championship which will be held at Kennelworth High School. I will be judged on my fitness routine this time in addition to the one and two piece swimsuit rounds. The day show starts at 11am and tickets are $15 and the night show starts at 6pm and tickets are $25. There will be many special guests there including professional bodybuilders, fitness and figure athletes, as well as UFC Referee, Dan Marigliotta. I will update this weekend with the results and maybe some pictures too!

Maybe I'll get 'em at the next one...

So, Gold's Classic came and went. I didn't place, but there was some fierce competition. There were about 20-25 women and I would guess that MAYBE 5 of us were under 30. Most were over 35 and they looked GREAT. I only hope I look that good after kids (which many of them had.) I will post a pic or 2 once I get them from the photographer. I still have 2 more shows coming up (Nov 8th & Nov 15th) so I am looking ahead...I must keep working hard. 2 more weeks and then I can take a short break to enjoy the holidays...maybe even eat some cookies! Today I already ran Boot Camp class at 7am, trained 4 clients after that...and now I am on my way to the gym for MY work out...then I have to train Michelle at 4:30pm. At least when I was driving to Boot Camp at 6:30am there was a little sun...not pitch black like it's been! Everyone have a healthy day!

Happy Halloween...although I won't be eating any candy!!!

Today I will be preparing for the 2008 Gold's Classic Body Building & Figure Championships. No Halloween costumes and candy for me! Instead I will be getting body wrapped at The Body Wrap Shoppe in Manchester, NJ followed by a Fantasy Tan. This contest is the first of the last three of the season. It will be held at Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch, NJ tomorrow (November 1, 2008). If you are interested in body building and/or figure competitions and if you are close by you should come and watch! Doors for the Pre-Judging open at 11am and tickets are $10. Doors for the Night Show and awards presentation open at 6pm and tickets are $30. (If you want to come to both shows tickets are $30.)

The body building community is small, and everyone knows one another for the most part, but it's a great sport to be a part of. There is a great sense of accomplishment when competing, even if you don't get a trophy. Just to know that you worked your butt off to be confident enough to stand in front of a crowd in a tiny (but very expensive) swim suit is rewarding enough.

Follow me on my journey and please ask me any questions you may have! I hope to start my own team of competitors one day, so if you want to join my team send me a message at my Fitness Jenn website.
