Oh shit! The Tempeh is burning! Things do that when you cook with no oil or spray or have a very good pan.....

Okay I am back. My name is Mary, I am 35, live in Las Vegas, NV, single mom of a 14 year old son, and I am vegetarian. This blog is about my journey to the IFBB Bikini show on November 2nd in Las Vegas.

It's just that I always wanted to model, that didn't happen. Not sure how I decided I wanted to do a competition, but somehow it got in my head and now I am going for it.

Today I just got back from the body building show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. It was the Olypia Expo. The people were pretty amazing looking. They were all buff and tan like you would expect, but wow, I have never seen so many protein bars...hahahhaahahaha

The reason I went is to pick out a competitin suit. It's blue with crystals, and if I figure out this blog thing, you will all see picuters. The reason I went there is because I heard they had good deals if you buy a suit at the shows. I tried on only ONE suit! It looked good, I felt comfortable, and I just thought...this is it! So $150 later plus parking at $10 and $25 to get in the door, I have a suit. I just need some jewerly now, as I bought the heels online.

I am really excited for November 2nd. I will be back every day to write about my journey:)
