Thank you so much Jodi and I knew you were all thinking of me which is what helped me through the day!! Blogging was the first thing I did last night because I knew you all wanted to know!! The comp is in Surfers Paradise

Oh Jeh you are just so welcome!! I hope I was able to answer some of your questions yesterday. If you have any further ones about it all, just email me!! I knew you would be fired up after seeing a comp, just like I was my first comp!!

Thank you Dan and YES… keep going honey!! It is so damn worth it!! Even if you get onstage and don’t place it is worth it!! The feeling of empowerment and achievement when you step on that stage knowing you have done it and all the hard work in the gym and kitchen has lead to this one moment is like nothing else on this earth!! I am going to enjoy seeing you make it to the stage!! xxx

Thanks Kat, LOL!! Thank you so much for your call today even though I was a bit tired and vague!! It meant a lot to me

Thanks Hilary and that would be SO awesome if I could meet you next weekend!! I’d be so excited about that!!
It was pretty funny wasn’t it Meggie!! How quickly it all goes to your head… or was that the sugar rushing to my head???

You found me out Selina!! LOL!! That is so lovely to hear that you were thinking of me… knowing everyone was pulling for me made such a huge difference!!

Oh puhleeze Beki!! Like I am the sort of person who would have pictures of themselves splashed all over the internet… LMAO!! That would be the same as somebody saying that you couldn’t be trusted to look after chocolate for other people… hehehe!!

Thanks so much Deb… your comment means a lot to me. I’m coming to Surfers Paradise… do I get to meet you too???

Love Rae xxx
