Mandy,
congrats on the 2nd place finish! And those pics, even without any naughty bits, were tres amazing... going to use them as incentive to get my own lazy keester to the gym instead of just hitting the treadmill.
when i was in training a couple decades ago, the receptionist at one of the centers where i worked was the Mrs. Kansas fitness winner. She was a funny smart pretty girl... not as pretty as you, mind you, but there are definite similarities in the self-assurance and confident open way she dealt with everyone... after she won, her other half, who had pushed her into competing, got jealous as he was not ranking in the top 10 of men, and in trying to control her he ruined her marriage. But she came out of it fine in the end.
I've known two other women who competed seriously in fitness and body building competitions... the fitness competitions have been positive experiences, but the colleague who was doing body building got into steroids and got so nondependable there was a collective sigh of relief when she left. NOT that i am saying body building or steroids are the cause of that... there was a history there, and i think it was more an obsessive sort of personality than anything the sport or the PEDs did.
but i'm rambling... in any case, you look great... if memory serves, getting to that six pack required cutting nearly all fat out of your diet... a couple weeks of chicken breasts and potatoes as meals?
In any case, i hope you have a great Thanksgiving meal with loved ones... true for all of the rest of Mandy's minions, gang!
Be safe, and have a blessed Thanksgiving... and Mandy, thanks for all of your giving to us over the year.
Pax,
RA
