Oh What a Night...

I believe I am still a bit "high" from last evening but I am not sure whether this euphoria is due to the Triple Win I had last evening at the 2010 Fame bodybuilding competition or the huge slab of unbelievably delicious chocolate raspberry truffle cake I devoured shortly after...

It was a great day for the Bodilogix team on so many levels...

As some of you may already know, Chris Littlechild, Cindy Adams, Devin, and my self have been hard in training as contestants in this years Fame bodybuilding championships held right here in Cobourg. For this group our journey to April 17th of 2010 started April of 2009 !!!
It was decided among our small but mighty group we would commit to support each other and as a team would enter various appropriate categories and challenge ourselves physically and mentally like we have never been challenged before. And we were...

From the design of the training program and it's various stages carefully mapped out with great detail to yield us maximum muscle growth, followed by a 4 month "cutting" program that by the end leaves the sight of a rice cake "too rich in carbs" for the diet, it's enough to make a grown fitness model/bodybuilder cry.

Our prep team, Mr. David Long, Melissa Lewis and Dan the man Darrlington. All I know is behind every serious fitness competitor/ Bodybuilder stands a very special person who really, really loves you because you are not a nice person in the slightest and you really smell like rotten eggs when the unmentionable happens... and it happens a lot.
I chuckle at so many memories on the journey least of which that special gift of Gas X Miss Cindy brought me one fine morning because "she loves me" and "she cares..."
Thanks Cindy... I love you too ...

The last few days have been nothing short of hazy and hilarious for me. Bodilogix team basically moved in to the gym away from television commercials about burger King and to commune with other orange skinned people.
David Long (official Den mother to the group)was the artist on hand painting all of every hour for 2 days solid, and when I say all of us... I mean "All of Us"...poor guy. oh the things he has seen...

The result...
This girl... the sarge as you know me brought home
1st in open women's bodybuilding
1st in Masters women's bodybuilding
overall most "ripped" (conditioned) female award

Cindy Adams... Might I add picked up a dumbbell for the first time 18 months prior brought home
First masters female fitness model

Devin Olivieri Our choreographer extraordinaire and inspiration... mandatory pose pro brought home
Third in Elite Men's bodybuilding

Honourable mention:
Chris Littlechild although the trophy eluded our Mr. Littlechild (this time) his conditioning was excellent, posing and routine superb... and his team etiquette was exemplary and was always there in mind and body, the true spirit of what our team is all about.

But what's winning without sharing...

It is all of you who made this moment so special for me. For all of us... Hearing your cheers and applause whenever one of the team dawned the stage, or on a more personal note when ever my big toe hit the stage, was nothing short of wind under my own wings propelling me to do my very best. You gave me the energy I needed to do what I had prepared myself all year to do...represent, for all of us.
I am so very thankful as are the rest of the team for all of you that came out to support us. To yell, whistle scream your support and encouragement was so important to us. It made our night.

We are better from this experience..
We have each learned something about ourselves.
We have grown within from this experience..
We have bonded as a collective from this experience

We are team Bodilogix... and we are growing...
Who is up to the challenge for next year?...


A Big Thank you,
The Biggest...

Humbly yours,
Andrea
