Hi Everyone! I've had a really positive, supportive and fun prep thus far. But here are my true thoughts and feelings about the Nationals.
I am nervous! I always get nervous though. So far, (to my knowledge) I have been the youngest competitor in all my competitions and I feel extremely blessed with everything I have accomplished to date. I feel so fortunate to have achieved what I have in a few years. My goal for my first Nationals is to place top 10. I hope I have what it takes to place among Canada's BEST my first time out! I will be honest, if I don't fall within the top 10, chances are Im going to feel a little disappointed, which is natural I think. No one likes the feeling of setting a goal and not reaching it. BUT I know that I have done my work in the gym and the kitchen, so in the end, if my over-all package has improved from last year, I am EXTREMELY happy with that. I guess what Im trying to say is I just have no idea what to expect and it makes me nervous but excited at the same time ;) hahah This is part of the reason why enjoy competing!...having no friggin clue lol Regardless, I am thrilled to be stepping onstage and standing side by side with the best athletes in our Country.
What I am 100% excited about and NOT nervous about is being able to see my best friend Jodi Boam possibly earn her ProCard this year! I keep telling her if she gets awarded it better not be before I walk out stage because Im going to look like some sort of nasty raccoon balling with makeup and eye lashes all over my face. I went out to BC with her for her first Nationals back in 2008, and you can hear me crying on the video camera while recording her routine and whispering omg omg omg with the camera shaking hahahah its actually hilarious and embarrassing. So I'm really looking forward to her moment! She so deserves it and my fingers are crossed. Speaking of Jodi....I made her book a photo-shoot Lol!! She has never done one and absolutely needs to. Another one of my best friends and I are going to go help her the day of to ease some stress. Im going to video some of the awkward moments hahah shhhh. Im kidding! I know she's gunna do great ;) (but seriously I am LOL!)
On the topic of Photo-shoots, I have a shoot the Monday after the show and Im super excited about it! I am going to watch what I eat the night of (to some extent lol!) to make sure i don't spill over for Monday.
Monday night however, I shall feast like a KING! muhahah
