The Day After

Well it's a day after my competition and the good new is I had lots of fun but the bad new is I didn't win. I am waiting for pictures from the photographer because although my husband took lots of picture, they didn't come out very well. They were too dark and I tried to photoshop them and it still didn't help. My husband isn't very good at taking pictures.

The OCB was a huge show, I competed in 2 classes, women over 35, there were 12 women in this class and extremely competitive. Some of the girls had won 1st place in other federations. I also competed in the Novice Short class, also a large group, with 10 women. I think I looked better the night before, my muscles were more full and defined. The show was an extremely well run show. After the show they had chocolate cake with white icing for us backstage. The cake was shaped like the Whitehouse, which was appropriate for the OCB Presidential. I didn't really pig out after the show, my husband and I went to a sushi restaurant and I had a few pieces of sushi but most importantly I ordered the grilled sea bass with sweet potato chips. You would think that I would be sick of sweet potatoes, but it was sweet potatoes chips and they weren't greasy. This restaurant also has great salads so we also shared a tofu salad. I know, most people were going to IHop or places to eat hamburgers, but we had sushi and seafood. Okay, I lived in California for so long that we are sushi lovers and I love fish if it is seasoned properly. Finally, we had to have dessert. We went to Cafe Deluxe and I wanted the Brownie a la mode but they were out so we had the Apple Crisp with ice cream. I really liked it because it wasn't too sweet. I don't like desserts that are so sweet that I get a head rush with all the sweetness.

Here is pic from last yesterday, I will post more as I get them from the photographer.
