I had such a lovely birthday!

Thanks for all the good wishes, it certainly made me feel very special!  It was a very hectic day, I literally didn’t stop.  After hair it was make up time and lo and behold, I rocked up and my make up artist said my appointment was the next day!  I had a bit of a moment then and I think I let an expletive fly but we sorted it out and I came back 45 mins later.  I went home and put my own foundation on to get a head start.  So that was all good, and what with my clip in hair extensions I looked a bit like a porn star.  The photo shoot was great, Excitations do a really good job.  I actually thought I looked good, and it has confirmed for me that I will do the show.  I still have a bit to lose on the top of my legs but am hoping with another 2 weeks that will disappear.  I have more muscle now.  The water deplete works wonders.

I finished up there and then home for a quick bite to eat (I was SO thirsty) and then back to my 2nd photo shoot!  I was a bit over it by then so I made sure it was quick.  These ones were in workout gear.  I got the ‘gee you look fit’ and ‘how often do you workout’ and ‘we are going to put a picture of you on our wall to remind us to do some exercise” questions and comments from the photographers.  I have to go back to choose my photos but have asked if they can get a couple ready for me early so I can stick up here.  Plus I just want to see them!

After I finished there I had a quick spa to get some of the tan off, and then got dressed up to go out for a drink with some friends.  That was relaxing and fun, I enjoyed a glass or 2 of wine and was very tired when I got home! 

So, now I have to re-learn my routine!  Will do that over Easter.  Hope everyone has a lovely one and don’t run amok with those eggs.  I was given a Lindt rabbit last night and I will save him for show day.

  • I love the hair Sue, it’s wicked! Such a hot look! So glad you had fun and it’s great you have decided to do the show! Can’t wait to see pics!!!

  • Hi Sue,

    I am so glad you had a wonderful birthday. You are going to love being in your 40′s. It’s actually a really cool time in your life. You look really pretty and would easily get away with being in your early 3o’s. All the best in the your final lead up to the comp, and please post those pic’s soon!!

  • You look great Sue! And those hair extensions look wicked. :) Can’t wait to see your pics either.

    Ciao and have a great Easter!

  • You look fantastic Sue and I can’t wait to see the pictures either. Seeing your photos always gives me a reminder as to why I’m doing this program. Sometimes I get a bit off track (like yesterday and today with Easter) but knowing that you are the person who put my program together, its worth the sacrifice.

  • Wow Sue you look awesome….Love the hair extensions. Cant wait to see the photo’s. I will go extra hard for the next 2 weeks so I get some good pics.

  • You look terrific and I love the hair. I am more than happy to look after the Lindt bunny whilst you compete :) too!
