When we were facing forward she was the gal in the back... when our backs are turned shes the one in the front. She was TINY. I had more muscle but she was leaner so she beat me. I'm planning on adding some muscle mass, then getting even leaner for next show. was (supposedly) 14% for this last show (but who knows how accurate that is). For the next show I'd really like to get it down to 12-13%.... and add about 5lbs of muscle. I've got work cut out for me and only 19 weeks to prepare. We'll see how it goes!

This is random… But this lady in the locker room the other day looked super fit! I was next to her and got so curious of her body fat I wanted to ask… LoL… which I did!

I was like… “Excuse me, I hope I am not rude if I asked you what’s your ?” She informed me it was about 13%-14%. I said “WOW… you look hot!” (I’m comfortable enough with sexuality to tell another woman she’s hot!!!) She was all LEAN!!! I told her… I want to look like that one day!

She was really nice… and guess what Cassie??… She is a Spinning instructor!!!! LOL..
I so thought of you!!! Hot, Lean and super friendly! She even asked about diet & workout routine. She said... I was on the right track and just need to stick with it… And if I need more motivation, I should join her class!!! Too bad.. I have night job the time her class starts! Anyways, I told you that’s random… Just wanted to share because I thought of you!

Oh gosh that was you that I ran into in the lockeroom?!?!! LOL! Totally kidding! Thats really sweet that you thought of me Nokie. It cracks me up that you asked a total stranger what her body fat is. That is totally something that i would do! I've never met a stranger.

Keep up the great work Nokie and youll definitely look like that one day!

When I first looked at those pics, I thought that was you on the end. You look awesome....BTW......

For the next show I'd really like to get it down to 12-13%.... and add about 5lbs of muscle. I've got work cut out for me and only 19 weeks to prepare. We'll see how it goes!

1. You looked truly special. You really are just like a flower that blossoms, you just look so comfortable, natural and in a place where you ought to be.

2. You are obviously a very good and talented athlete, and you are also a very accomplished artist as well and your body is a living work of art, that you have every right to display, in a gallery of onlookers and on stage you can clearly see just how much your artwork lives and breathes in an atmosphere, designed for someone like you to flourish in.

3. You are living upto all hopes and beliefs in you. I don't doubt for a moment, all you are capable of and I don't doubt for a moment you will succeed in all your physical wants. To see you looking that sublime knowing the negative experiences in your past you've had, fills me with immense pride for someone who has truly overcome some demons and has just become so, so much more of a human being, than they probably could have ever dared to imagine.

Just looking at you now, and even you in that shot of you at 21, shows how much a beautiful young Lady has matured, grown and blossomed into someone even greater and more accomplished than ever before.

The last 5 years certainly athletically and educationally have been clearly your finest years, culminating in someone offering you lifelong commitment, love and happiness, to reward you for all the wonderful things you do with your Heart for others, so many times over.

I know you can go on to do so much more with your competing misses, I really do. I think your attitude has been exemplorary. Your on and off stage image and promotion of you as a person, has been exemplorary and you have proven yourself to be a real inspiration to others.

WELL DONE and whatever the next show brings and whatever happens, you will always have so much respect, admiration and appreciation of your efforts. I would never want to do what you have done, but I understand the value, meaning and worth it carries for you, and the impact it has on others.

You deserve to be so proud of yourself. You are a little warrior with a big heart and you deserve to feel as proud of yourself, as others feel about you.

I'm sure you can go further than this, and become a champion, and one day soon a pro, that did it your way, and didn't succumb to doing what many others do to win and I believe you can and will do it, and prove something to yourself and others, who might have said it couldn't be done.

Know that whatever you do, and however you progress along the way, you do it with the collective understanding, support and heart-felt wishes of so many people, myself included, because you have trained as hard as many athletes / sportpeople do, sometmes more than some, and whilst you will for a long time, get little recognition for it, even as a pro, you will always get recognition for it on here, because we have lived so many of your ups, downs, emotional wranglings, feelings, sweat, probably some tears and possibly a bit of blood too, and I don't think anybody who read this journal, could ever fail to be anything less than absolutely impressed with you, and in awe of you, for how much you've given, and then came on here, and found the inner will to give so much to people here too, when you were emotionally drained, running on empty and tired.

You really are a truly exceptional and special person Cassie and it's fantastic to see you doing something you were born to be.

Keep up the hard work, and don't let anyone tell you you can't be the person everyone else thinks you can be. I'm sure you WILL!!!

Well shucks bossman! Thank you so much!! I don't know what else to see... I'm speechless... Thank you for all of your kind words, inspiration, encouragement... and most of all thank you for your FRIENDSHIP. It means the world to me.

Great job! Congrats!

Didnt she have another show on Nov 29th ?..

[Nokie173]

No... only 2 this year.... she is thinking of 3 next year

[Boss Man]

She could do it as well. She really could. Sounds absurd, but for Cassie to have even done two, and finished second in the second one, is such a fantastic achievement, considering some of her past issues with food and yet she pretty much nailed the diet and was so strong, inspite of arguably some very tough things to go through, for the first comp, probably a harder prep than most competitors would have to deal with.

So if she can change from the person she was some years ago, to such a strong willed and capable person, regards the eating habits required, there's no doubt in mind, if she went for three, she could do three.

This time next year we could be looking at someone, possibly at least doing a regional, maybe even a national, and possibly with one or two photoshoots, or a Podcast, or a quality magazine article / radio interview or two under her belt.

These things can possibly happen. Heck maybe even a sponsor. Not trying to promote ideas in hers or anyones heads, but I say, why not look positively at what may come, as it really would be fantastic to find out, she was becoming a rolemodel with more far reaching potential.

It's not about people wanting to look like her necessarily, but to simply want to have the belief, that a good lifestyle is the way to go, would really be something great, if someone like Cassie, could inspire more people to change for the better, simply through her actions alone, not just with words, that could be worth a thousand tomorrows for some people in later life.

Certainly I wouldn't hesitate to believe she could do three shows if she wanted to, because I know she is someone who has pushed so, so hard throughout everything and proven such a massive amount to others, not least that she is a great athlete, with real honest potential and I would be absolutely phenomenally proud, to see her one day, showing us photos of her first pro show.

Despite what some pros do to condition, and one person intimated to her, I know she CAN go pro, and do it her way, because she is that sort of person .

I was away the last week in Oct/the first week in Nov so missed your second comp! Congratulations! I'm so proud of you!
You look fabulous - only to match the inner you!

Warmest Regards,
