First Fitness Competition!

I competed in my very first fitness competition this weekend - NPC Oklahoma! It was tons of fun, I definitely learned a lot. It also made me start to think that being a personal trainer would be a great job to have during my acting journey. That way I can do the two things that I enjoy the most. Exercise and acting!

Anyway, with it being my very first show, I think nerves got the best of me during judging. I forgot to keep the smile up, and my sassiness wasn't quite on point. I turned it up a lot in the night show, but by that time it was too late and the judges had already made up their minds. Now that I have one under my belt I feel like I have a better grasp on what to do for the next one.

Competing is definitely expensive and it's cutting into my ability to save for LA, but I feel like I'm getting a lot out of it as well. If I can't walk out on stage confidently and at least ACT like I know what I'm doing, then I probably can't do it in other aspects either. So I'm working on my stage presence and nerves, so I think it's beneficial. :-)

Anywho! Very very fun weekend. I loved being around all the fit people! The next show is July 23 in Springfield, MO. I have three days of eating absolutely anything, and then its back on the diet and training. I am making the most out of my three days, but I can't wait to keep improving my body and do this again in 5 weeks!
