Wow! Five competitors . . . Four Top Fives at THE 2008 Emerald Cup in Bellevue, WA!! GO FIT CREW! From the left . . . Trish Stevens (one of my best buddies and assistant -- couldn't have prepped these gals without her!!); Me; Kristina McEllrath (4th place, over 5'8"); Kerri Simpson (3rd place 5'2" to 5'3" and first show!); Allison Malone (3rd place 5'3" to 5'4"); Brittani Simpson (3rd place Masters and second show!).

These gals are absolutely worked their bootays off (literally!) for months, and I am so humbled by their trust in my diets and programs. You're not only looking at some GORGEOUS physiques and STUNNING faces, but each one of them is truly a beautiful person on the inside and I enjoyed every minute of working with them! Backstage laughs, the post-show Cheesecake Factory feast, and oh-so-many-stories in the hotel prep room (what happens in the hotel room, stays in the hotel room . . . or wait, is that Vegas? Ah, Vegas: wink, wink! Here they come baby!). So stay tuned for links to their sites and MySpaces, along with competition pics (just as soon as they are available).

Until then, hugs! I gotta get to the gym :) No rest for The Training! lol
