I am so excited about tomorrow -- I can’t even begin to describe it. Maybe it’s similar to being a kid again and waiting for Christmas to happen; I don’t know, but I certainly feel alive! One thing I say to other women all the time is that doing physique competitions is a way to really step out of the box and add a whole new dimension to your regular routine, and that’s saying a lot. After all the hard work in the gym and getting your nutrition down to a “T,” what more fun way to celebrate than getting all glammed up with other great women and having some fun on stage? Plus, after you’ve done a couple of shows, you get to know a lot of the other women and it becomes a real community. You hear each other’s stories and get to see each other change.

It’s now less than four weeks until the 2012 SAF Summer Spectacular, and most of the work will be done for all of you competing in terms of shaping your physique. Now it’s time to diet down, practice your stage walk, and go over the final details of your theme-wear, bikini, and all of your hair/make-up/tanning arrangements for your BIG DAY.

As I’m sitting here, getting my hair and make-up done for a photoshoot for my bikini sponsor, Daydreams Fitness Wear, I suddenly realize that this time next week the SAF show will be OVER! Holy smokes Bat Girl, only five sleeps left before the SAF Summer Spectacular, and I feel like I’m ready to go!

Well, the last month has been full of ups and downs for all of us here at the True Fitness gym in Mumbai. While my yoga competition training was going remarkably well up until the first week of March, suddenly on March 5th the entire third floor of our gym was shut down and sealed by government officials. Apparently there is an ongoing dispute between the gym owner and the landlord of the mall we’re in, and so until the issue is resolved, no more Bikram Yoga!
