My 1st official post! Where do I begin? I guess I can start by saying these past 5 months of my life have been a whirlwind of many different things! In preparation for the Canadian Nationals (which I qualified for last</span> <span style="color:#cccccc;">year) was probably the</span> <strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">most challenging ever</span></strong> <span style="color:#cccccc;">for me going into a competition. My body was</span> <strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">extremely</span></strong> <span style="color:#cccccc;">stubborn this year during my prep and it seemed like it wasn't until the last 3 weeks of my diet was when I saw the most changes to my physique. Talk about frustrating! Yikes! For a period of time I didn't think I was going to make it. But it all ended up coming together (even if it was last minute) and I placed 2nd in the Medium-Tall category! My goal was Top 5 so I could keep my qualification to compete at the national level so this was a</span> <span style="color:#cc33cc;">dream come true</span> <span style="color:#cccccc;">for me! </span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#330033;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#330033;"><em><span style="color:#cccccc;">On</span> <span style="color:#009900;">August 30th</span> <span style="color:#cccccc;">I will be competing again in Cleveland Ohio at the</span> <span style="color:#009900;">IFBB North American Bodybuilding and Figure Championships! </span><span style="color:#cccccc;">12 days and counting!</span></em></span><span style="color:#cccccc;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;color:#993399;"><em></em></span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>I just want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who have supported me during this time and throughout all my competitions! </em></span><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;color:#330033;"><span style="color:#000099;"></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#330033;"><span style="color:#009900;">Robin</span> <span style="color:#cccccc;">- For being by my side during every competition, putting up with my mood swings, my long hours away from home at the gym and supporting me in my dream to become an IFBB Pro!
