FAME Prairies 2007

They did it and they are so Beautiful.

Shannon and Leigh had a great day, Saturday, while competing in the 2007 FAME Prairies right here at the Stampede Grounds. Those two alone, had over 20 people in the Evening cheering them on from the crowded, sold out show.

As they gracefully walked their lean, hard worked bodies across the stage, I was proudly screaming their names and how Hot they are. Great work Girls.

As of yet we don't know what placing they got but there were around 20 girls in their Fitness Modeling category and even more in the Swimsuit category.

Leigh was on stage as a competitor for her first show and was presenting herself very well and confidently.

Shannon, competing once before, had shown her new and improved physique with Pride and Elegance.

These two girls did so well under the pressure of the lights, cameras, judges and friends watching.

The night before the show they were instructed to be at the Theater for 0800, well they were running late so arrived in a bundle of nerves at 0900. No worries though as the Body Builders were on first. Being told that they should be there early as 'there are only 20 BB so it'll go fast'; 3.5 hours later, Shannon and Leigh went on stage for their first round of 3. Wow, what a long patient morning. Then they were finished at 330 and I went back and said let's go home and get away and rest before the Evening Finals. Shannon let me know they had to be back for media and practice for 430pm. Poor girls had to stay at the theater. So, I ran home and changed, grabbed Rod and Shawn Sauer picked us up and we headed back. The evening show was much faster. Starting at 6pm we left at 830-9 ready for a nice 'treat' dinner with friends and family at Tom's Burger. It was great. Shannon and I both lost it before the meal came...we were ready to fall asleep. We all ate, hugged and headed home. For me-straight to bed. Rod...crazy guy stayed up.

Now, Sunday and a dog run built at our home and a Happy Mother's Day.

Rod and I would like to thank the Astley's and Sauer's for taking trust in us and Spirit Fitness and allowing us to guide them to this Show. Amazing Presentation, Shannon and Leigh. We love you and are so very Proud of you for your Success and Determination.

Happy Mother's Day to all who have kids, animals or someone to look after.

Enjoy this day and every day after.

Brenda and Rod Coulter

2 Days till Show Time

Wow, can you believe it...the two girls, Shannon and Leigh, can't, 2 days to go. Both had a great day today...de-hairing, haha, the life of a girl.

They both come over Thursday to practice a stage run through and meditation. That's it! No working out...exciting to have a rest. Tummies are sensitive now so the meals are a little harder to get down but they are eating them.

Friday there is no training just a little walk. Then they are off to registration with a pasta-up and later, cheese cake! Leigh was funny when she found this part out...she was on the Elliptical warming up, told her, she looked at Shannon and I....started to smile and said 'No way, cheese cake. Are you kidding me?' We laughed and said No you get to eat it Friday night. She almost fell off the Elliptical in excitement, jumping and giggling. Priceless...I need to get a hidden camera in our gym.

Saturday is show time; Morning is judging and evening is Finals. It's going to be super...at least 25 of us are there for Shannon and Leigh-screaming for them HOT girls.

Good luck ladies, from Brenda and Rod at Spirit Fitness

One last shot

This is Jaime, looking great and very ripped.

Jaime won't be carrying on with the online blog as she has succeeded and feels she hit all of her last 4 week goals - including her biggest one ~ complete all 4 weeks ~ from here on in, she wants to focus on continuing to live a healthy lifestyle.
She knows she can always improve her physique, but right now she is happy with the way she is looking! It's still in her heart to compete, so she will when she can and will be all over it! :)

Great work Jaime!
Thanks for being apart of this journey and letting Spirit Fitness help and enjoy you.

Thank you,
Rod and Brenda Coulter
