Supporters and Sceptics

I told a couple more friends this week that I want to compete. Jayna was totally awesome about it. She thought I could do it and was excited for me to do something the last little bit of my twenties (recognize that a lot of women start this idea when they are like 21!). So that was cool to hear someone be excited for me.

Most of my regular hang out friends... not so much. Well, Chandra actually has been cool about it. Or at least she keeps her opinion to herself. But BW and Diane thought it was a crazy idea. Actually Diane wants me to do a fitness competition so that I can do the splits and high kicks and be all smiley cheerleader type. Well, I don't think I'm going to do a fitness routine, just a figure competition. The fitness requires a whole other level of focus and choreography. And most of those girls are gymnasts. But both BW and Diane are worried I will look like a man. I think that is what a lot of people are worried about. Oh well I guess they will just have to think that until I can get far enough along into it where they realize that isn't going to be the case.
