This weekend I attended the Serious About Fitness Camp (SAF Camp) which focused on competition prep, posing, tanning, hair, nails, makeup and all else in between.
I am so glad I went. It was such a great experience to see the other women who will be competing and also to meet some of the SAF girls who have one in the past and how they have made it to the top of their class.
Though it was a little intimidating to see such amazing women ready to compete, it was also humbling and great see that there were other women there who were serious about competing in a healthy way, but also those who had the same insecurities as I did!
All in all well worth the drive to and from Toronto.
We also walked away with some great goodies! Protein Power :)
My Brother was kind enough to take my goofy pictures before I went to bed at 1 am to wake up for 5 AM and drive back to Ottawa...Ugh that was so not pleasant but wouldn't have had it any other way.

Camp looks like fun! Had everyone competed before, or was it a mix of newbies and veterans? And YAAAY for protein! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are adorable. Those camps are so great! I felt the same way at my first one, but like you said, you all are feeling the same way and that is comforting!
ReplyDeleteBlog questions: How did you set up your comment section so that you can reply directly to a comment? I love this whole layout. Mine is not user friendly!
Camps are amazing! I am so glad you went even though it was a bit of an epic drive! You meet amazing people, learn so much, and get fun goodies! :) You are almost there!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely help you with that! Its a program you can apply (or download i guess) to your blog called DISQUS. And it really is user friendly! Once on Disqus it will telly ou how to download for blogger and add the "widget" to your blog.
ReplyDeleteBlog question for you....how did you get the new domain name? I want one!
It was a mix. Newbies and those who have competed before. It was great to see so many women who felt the same as I did but also women who have been competing int he past and who were so open and honest about sharing their stories and the dos and donts.
