My return to the stage, @ the Fouad Abiad Open< Oct 8 here in Windsor

Hi:greet It feels good to be back into a contest prep at 54 yrs old and at my best. I haven't competed in Bodybuilding since Nationals in 2006. Last May I did a brief switch over to Figure and placed Second in GrandMasters Figure and 4th in Figure Medium-Talls at the Luchka/O'Brien Classic in Mississauga.

Figure wasn't for me, I felt like I was a plastic Barbie doll, move like this bow like that etc. No personality IMO or I didn't feel I could let mine come through. I'm sassy lets say and felt I was holding back what I'm able to show off in a Bodybuilding class. I have a great upper body, not the glutes or non existence of them that figure girls have.

So it's back to BODYBUILDING. This will be my 7th competition in 9 yrs, I've trained for 11yrs in total and felt my best showing ever was when I won the Female Masters Bodybuilding class at Provincials in 05. I'll be in Light Weights and Masters classes and am holding today at 119 lbs. 10 lbs heavier then my first comp in 02. Attachment 27860

Congrats FC on getting back into gear and getting ready for the stage. I am sure you will do very well and i wish you all the best in your prep!

Seeing FC in person is mind blowing guys. Every time that i thought i was lean i had to compare myself to her and sadly for me she's beat me hands down lol. Crazy upper body....the regional level is in for a treat. i can here the crowd now...people whispering (how old is she?) (No way!) I don t expect anything but success for her on Saturday. I'd wish you good luck FC but the reality is your competition are the ones who are going to need the luck as you ve done the work.

you Rock FC!!! wish I could be in two places at once.. oh well you'll be in London.. right??

Kickass girl :) Can't wait to see pics of you.

Can't wait for the pics :)

Good luck tomorrow FC. You rock no matter how you do on stage. I have known you for the most part of your journey in bodybuilding and you are a true inspiration.
