Im in lust, with my sequined bum bags..

Nationals week finally, and I should be very very excited, and I am, but the Nationals has been overshadowed by the arrival of my
beautiful, sexy, useful, damn spunky belt bags.. When they arrived today I was the happiest girl alive - doesn't take much to make me
happy, but I have been belt-bagless for probably a year now. I have tried but couldnt bring myself to purchase the Louis Vuitton or the Gucci
ones.. or go purchase the hideous black vinyl ones, and now I have struck gold. I have been in glitter heaven all arvo.

So because of my new purchases, I actually trained this evening, not hard core, not even half core but did high reps and basically had everyone drooling over my sparkly bag. The guys were envious ( I could tell even though they didnt say it) and the girls, well I stopped them dead on their crosstrainers and they were wonder struck.
I could almost hear them saying " Oh my god, look at the bag". They were stunned.. One person did say, " Hey they would be good to wear to the night club", so I had to wonder, did she think I was over the top wearing it with my weight training belt... surely hell no!!... anyway I took the weight training belt off and left the sparkly number on.

So Im still looking forward to the Nationals just so I can show off my bags of many colours. It will be like a parade... Lol. You must remember to look at the competitors amd not be dazzled by my sparkliness......
Anyway while on the subject of sparkliness - well there are going to be some outstanding bodies on stage this year. My clients of course will be absolutely fabulous and I have named them on my home page but I have admiration for some of the other girls who I have come to know and wish everybody all the very best, no matter what class, where they are from and who they train with.. There will be a few faces missing who I really wish were competing but for personal reasons, we will talk about them after the comp, have decided to give this nationals a miss.

Physique classes are off course close to my heart, and this year it will be fabulous. My clients, Mandi, Donna and Julie Harris, Tracy Frost are competing as is long time friends, Michelle Heggie and Kaye O'Neill. Now that is going to be some serious muscle to muscle competition.. Very interesting..
I have helped in a small way cos she is a natural at this and has done very well with a 7 month old baby, but Sarah Goldsmith is competing in Novice Figure Tall after winning her first figure event at the CNI.. This woman is wonder woman. She owns her own gym, works in it, teaches in it, ,makes her own bikinis, has a baby and a farm, and she is gorgeous to boot. Does hair and makeup fantastic and has a kick ass routine with stage presence like no other novice competitor.
My Monty, I cant help but call her my Monty even though she isnt, but I have helped Monty since last year and she is the easiest cllient to deal with.. When we get on the phone, well that is trouble. An hour almost passes and we are still yak yak yacking.. She is gorgeous, staturesque and I love seeing her on stage. She look hot at the CNi and will continue to improve for the Nats. Suraya, what can I say about her... Her body has changed tenfold since the elite and I must admit she has surprised even me. She knows and agrees with me that she was lagging abit behind and I was worried about her for a time, but she has pulled something out of the bag ( other than nuts and raisins) and she is sporting the best set of abs I have seen for the year probably. I have a pic on my phone of her abs but cant transfer it to here, shame but she is doing very very well. Linda Harrington, a girl from my home town of Greymouth is competing and she did great at Chch but we will see a huge change in her as well.
she also has a very young baby, 7 months as well I think. If any of you reading this make excuses about competing, remember these girls who both have babys under 8 months, both work as trainers and have homes and other family members to organise - Now if they can do, anybody can.. Im sure it hasnt been easy for them at all.
Im looking foward to seeing a changed Physique from Donna Bezer. Donna hasnt had it easy, she is a busy trainer herself and has overcome probs with diabetes which affects her from losing weight quickly and as easily as most of us. Mark Rainbow helped her with some of her diet when I wasnt too sure how to keep helping her, and
her time is almost here. She has been a very busy girl. Raechelle Chase is definately a crowd favourite - well who doesnt love to see Raechelle on stage, and she has the most beautiful costumes as well. Next to Kirsty Thomson ( who hold a gorgeous short package with the perfect balance of muscle) from CHCH and with Monty, + other competitors, this should make for an awesome class to watch.
Another Figure girl I love is Sheryl Patterson. From what I can tell in Sheryls FB pics, she has the most beautiful body this year, well she does every year but she looks perfect this year.. My gosh, there are so so many beautiful competitors to mention so I have just detailed some of the girls I know or write to.
Oh here is my opportunity to say Hi to Barbara Moyes from Rotorua who brought her team of girls to a boot camp with me and follow up sessions. It was brilliant working with them and seeing them finally on stage at the regionals and hopefully nationals. I know Barbara is competing in the Nationals after winning the CNI so that was awesome for her. She is so so motivated she texted me this afternoon and asked how she can qualify for the Elite next year... lol.
I wont even get started on the guys... Anyway I am looking foward to taking some fantastic pics and getting them on site here as soon as I can.
Anyway I am off to get some sleep. It is almost 12.00 and beddy byes.
Will update again on Friday...... oh roll on saturday why dont ya.. xxxx
