791I competed and won the overall figure title at the Alaska state show on April 5th. I then headed to the Emerald Cup on April 18th and took 3rd in my class. Now I am home and able to take a week off from the gym (besides teaching my class) to get a few things caught up around the house. I actually have a little more time to blog this week. I'm craving homemade macaroni and cheese so I have to make some before I start watching my source of carbs for my next show. I will be back in the gym next week and can hardly wait to start lifting again.

I love competing at the emerald before a national show to see what I need to work on for nationals. The show is the biggestin the northwest, it is very fun show and is very organized.

Oh Sheila when do you relax? lol I know what you mean about the mac and cheese, I guess I should have never mentioned it during our cardio sessions. You have worked hard and I know you'll continue to do so, you looked so good at State! It was an honor to compete on the same stage as my big-little sister.

Sheila,

Congrats on your great work! Nice to be able to take a deep breath and then get back at it again.
Question, what were the results of your abs survey?
