Show Recap!

Oh, you GUYS!  I am still flying high over the incredible time I had over the past couple of days (and from the sugar I just ate for breakfast!). Still emotional.  Tears filled my eyes this morning as I looked back through all the pictures my sister, Vann, took of me at the night show and all the pictures I took from back stage and all the pictures my sister, Autumn, took of me from prejudging!

So many memories were created yesterday!  All my hard work paid off and a dream came true for me.  I did not place, but, like Justin said, I got to come home with this body!  I did what I set out to do and that was change my life and get on stage (next time, I will place!)!

It is an indescribable feeling to see my family, first after prejudging and then again after the night show and to hear how proud they are of me and to see the excitement in their faces.  Every one of them has been on this journey with me…..watching me push harder and sacrifice and change my life.  I can not put into words how much it means to have the support of my family and to have them show up for me!  I have wrapped those memories up tight and securely locked them in my heart forever.

My Dad, Step-Mom, brother Chaz, his wife Becky and my sister Autumn came to prejudging!

Justin’s Mom also made it in the morning to congratulate me!

My sister, Vann, her Fiance, Matt, my Justin and my Mom were there for me at the night show!

So instead of recapping every single detail in words, I’ll just get to the pictures!! That’s really what we all want to see anyway, isn’t it?!!  Get comfy, you know I LOVE pictures and so does my sister, Vann, who took most of these!!

Justin got up at 5:30am so he could see me off!  He took these as I was leaving!

I have tons more backstage pics.  I’ll save those for tomorrow!!

Thank you for all the kinds words of encouragement and advise.  I appreciate every single word.  Keep the post comp advise coming!!

Of course, Diana and I have talked in length about my post comp plan, but I also love reading what you all have to say and what has worked for you!  I am definitely going to enjoy my sweets today and then, like Melissa has said, I’m back to comp diet tomorrow and will do a reverse diet to slowly incorporate things back. (wish me luck with that!)

Oh, one more thing.  I was so tired after the show, Justin and I ended up just stopping by Wendy’s on the way home and I ate this:

Along with two big bottles of water and some chocolate (those pictures to follow!).
