Picking a Date

After talking with my friend Brad, who is an experienced competitor, at the gym this week, I'm getting close to picking my first show to enter. I don't want to put it off too long and let my motivation fade, and I'm nearing my target weight of 190lb. That means something on the spring circuit 2008. I want something close somewhat local and not too big. I think that leaves me with the Spokane or the Vancouver show next April. I haven't consulted with Lori yet. We'll see. I may be dieting starting right after the holidays.
