Ms. Fitness USA - Top 20 Placement!

Hello Everyone!

Many of you have been anxiously waiting to hear about my recent trip to Las Vegas to compete in Ms. Fitness USA! I spent 4 LONG and emotional days competing in 3 different events from last Tuesday - Friday. The events were Spokesmodel/Evening gown, Physique/Figure and Fitness Routine. Friday night was the final show where everything was done together and taped by Fox Sports Net. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

I received the written results yesterday (kind of like waiting for your Ben-Gal letter!) and I am thrilled to share with you that for my 1st USA show and 2nd Fitness show ever that I placed Top 20! Myself and another competitor (who was also new this year) tied with the overall score for 20th place!!! There were 40 people who competed in all. The scores were very close for all of the competitors and in the case of the Top 5 only one tenth of a point separated some places!

I'd like to thank each of you for your support and encouragement while training for this event. I really appreciated all of your calls and emails with well wishes before I left. It really meant a lot to me. I'd especially like to thank my trainers - Amy L and Natalie (www.thewellnesscircle.com) for getting me ready for the event. I would highly recommend both of these ladies if you are interested in any kind of fitness program, whether it be to get back in shape or to take your fitness goals to the next level.

I hope to have pictures back over the next few weeks. The show is set to air in January 2007 so I will send out more details once I know for sure.

Cheers! -Amy
