 "My experience at the
Olympia was very memorable. Although, I didn't
place in top 10, I must say that I was very pleased
with how my physique peaked for this show. I will
continue to work on hair and makeup and my own "unique" look,
but overall I was very happy after I looked at
pictures. I don't believe that I will ever have
the physique that the judges are looking for at
the bigger shows, and I am okay with that realization.
I will continue to compete and come in with my
very best conditioning, shape, and muscle that
I see is fit for me and my genetic structure. I've
realized that in this sport, it is important to
have a healthy frame of mind, and in doing that,
you must be happy with yourself first, that way,
whether you place or not, you should walk away
happy and content with your effort and hard work.
Embrace a healthy lifestyle always, getting ready
for a stage or not, and know that stepping on stage
and competing is just an added bonus and evidence
of God's grace." |

Reversal of Fortunes
Posted by Ruth Silverman, in Contests, Figure
What a happy result at the ’08 Kentucky Muscle Pro Figure last weekend, where Brenda Marie Smith, who hadn’t seen a judging panel’s smile since she took third at this show last year, nabbed her first pro win with a perfect score. Not only that, but the other top-three placers—Teresa Anthony and Patricia Mello—also gave up-from-the-basement performances to earn their Olympia invites for 2009. And some of the ladies who were expected to do really well ended up so far down the list, it’s almost as if they exchanged places with the three mentioned above....

I’ve also been blessed with a wonderful companion,
Mark who has encouraged me to maximize my
physique, dream big, and remember that what God has for
me, it is for me. Thanks Babe.
