Hi guys!!!!! Back from Competing....

[carrie]

well, I am done with the heavy duty training for a while. Here is the update:

Competition- ended up 14th overall. Not top 10 like I wanted, but I did well in the physique round. My music got messed up for the routine and threw me off and brought down my score.

Hair- Still using the Generic Nexxus products (Bontoil shampoo and Humectress conditioner) I also use the real Nexxus Peppermint shampoo on ocassion. I have a considerable amount of growth. I was gonna measure this AM, but was running late for work.

I plan on adding biotin, silica and TwinLab's Amino fuel to my routione. And speaking of TwinLab...They are my new sponsor! SO I will be getting all my supplements for FREE /images/graemlins/grin.gif This will help competition expenses greatly.

Tried a new product and I am liking it. (still can't kick the PJ habbit) Its Humectant Pomade by Aura. I saw it at Sally's and thought it would be kinda like the one by Aveeda I can never find. I like it /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Here is a pic from the show:

Carrie,

With that body, you should have been #1, messed up music or not! Who could beat that body???? Anyway, it's great to read and see you around. Congratulations for making 14th place. Many women, including myself, wouldn't make it to the top 100, so you did good girl!! Your hair looks great!! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[Eyvonne7131]

Congrats! Girl you look great! I commend you on the dicipline and courage it takes to get in shape and compete. Your abs look awsome!!!! I hope to someday get rid of my double middle fold /images/graemlins/grin.gif! Your hair looks wonderful also!

 

[HOTCHOCOLATE]

Congrats Carrie,

I know my vote doesn't count, but you would have been #1 in my book. Sooooooo, Carrie help a sista out, what products are you using on your skin for that healthy shiney glow /images/graemlins/laugh.gif.
Do you total body wax? I sometimes feel I have more hair growing down south than on my head /images/graemlins/blush.gif.

 

[carrie]

Thanks so much guys. It is hard work, but I truly love it.

Hotchocolate, as far as the skin goes, I am pretty basic. I actually shave, girl waxing hurts! I know what you mean about the growth! I use dove soap and Keri original lotion. For a little extra shine like in the photo I add some Macadamia nut oil to the Keri.

Congrats Carrie with you placement! You know you will always be #1 to us though.

 

[sassygirl125]

Hi Carrie! (I'm waving at you!) /images/graemlins/grin.gif
What was the name of the contest? I want to look for you on TV and in my magazines.
I went on a hair product shopping spree this weekend and saw you on a bonnet dryer box!

 

[natalie]

Congratulations,

You are a perfect ten in my book and your hair looks great.

How did you get started in fitness competitions? Do you model as well?

I am interested in fitness modeling but, I don't know where to begin.

 

[nijilah]

Congratulations on your competition! Are you planning a next one soon?

I just wanted to thank you for all the tips that you have given me and other posters on toning and cario. I have gone from 110 lbs to 105 lbs - which was actually my goal - and everyone has been committing on how toned and strong I look. One day, I looked in the mirror and I could seriously see the difference! I love looking like a physically strong women!

Thanks so much and 14th place is good. All we can do is our best. And I especially admire your arms and abs.

 

[VALLEYGIRL]

Carrie

Congrats!!!

[Guest]

Carrie, I emailed you to ask fitness questions, I hope you don't mind. You look great as always. Good to see you back!! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Integrity]

you go girl!! we are all so so proud of you!!! God bless and welcome back, Carrie /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[carrie]

Thanks guys. Email me whenever you want. Leigh I know I still owe you...its on my home computer!

The show was the NPC 2002 Nationals. It should be on in January. Not sure if you'll see me. For TV they only focus in on the top 5 girls. When more pictures are available, I'll post the links.

 

[Valerie]

Carrie you look great!, I've got some questions too, I hired a personal trainer, she started at the end of July, and I am slowly getting more curvy, but the stomach takes a bit of time. Your hair looks very lovely. Congratulations on your competing.

 

[rayne]

Congrats Carrie!!! I hope that one day I can become disciplined enough to look as half as good as you do!

 

[Tara]

Bumping for inspiration on my fitness plan! Summer is almost here, yet again!!

 

[Compassion]

Wow Carrie, you look fabulous! You've made me a believer. I NEVER truly thought that exercising and good hair care could coexist. I don't know how you do it, but you look great.

Blessings,
Compassion

Wow what a great deal! Thanks for posting your photo. You are an inspiration to us all in reminding us to take better care of our bodies

Those judges must not have been looking right because you look like you should have been in that top ten to me

Keep up the fantastic work! You've encouraged me to tone a little more before the summer rolls in

 

[lala]

Wow! What a great body. I've been working out and I see that I have a loOOONG way to go. I need to work on my abs. Any recos? Oh, and the hair slamming too.

 

[carrie]

I was wondering where this one came from! Like I said before, I am glad I can give some inspiration. Its not rocket science, it just takes time and dedication. I just like seeing you guys busting your butts right along with me. I am about to start getting ready for 2 July shows. One in the VA area (LMK if anyone wants to come out for support, I'd love to meet ya) and the second in Vegas. If you want, I can post my all my progress on the health and fitness board. That is everything but my current weight! You'd be better off trying to get my ATM card and PIN# outta me!

 

[Paris Belle]

That would be great.

I have been looking for some inspiration to get back into exercising. I am big and in semi-good shape..I walk a lot, can walk fast and far without getting out of breath, stairs aren't too good for me tho'

However, I would like some tips on how to stay focused on exercise and how to keep motivated. I've been eating pretty good for the most part too, but I have to make more of an effort.
