Must be something wrong with the camera 
I'm going to have competing in May as a goal. If I can't make it, that will still be okay, but competing is my goal! 
Hey honey, getting ready for this comp and stuff huh? Hope the carb cycling is going well and umm, 62 days 
I really needed to hear that You are so sweet 
I think it is hard for all of us to post pics because we're not where we want to be right now. That's what the comp is all about. But it is REALLY scary, I almost dropped out 
Originally posted by J'Bo  take a look at my "buildin a better bod" journal you might like my meals...we weigh the same amount and we are the same height and so we could do the same workouts and diet if you want...let me know if thats good for yah...we can always tailor it to your likes and dislikes
|
Can't be all soft You think I should continue this carb cycling until then. My cals are still pretty high, around 1700-1750. What are your thoughts?

Originally posted by Jenny Aww, Fire, thank you! I really needed to hear that You are so sweet I think it is hard for all of us to post pics because we're not where we want to be right now. That's what the comp is all about. But it is REALLY scary, I almost dropped out Well I'm soo glad you got the courage to do it. Honestly Jenny. Besides that you look fabulous. (Oh it's so easy to say that since I didn't post mine yet) hehehehe You can't even think of doing that though since this whole comp thing was YOUR idea

Originally posted by Eggs Hey Sexy! Diet and routine is looking good Hey Fire, hows it going. Yeh, this comp was a good idea... dont be worried about looking your best right now, thats what the "after" pics are for bro! Haha, I might enter just to make the other guys feel better

But you know, fat is all relative. To a 300pound Kate, being able to get into the car without a problem is being in better shape. To me being in better shape is having a six pack. We are our biggest critics. So please don't flip

Originally posted by J'Bo hey baby J. your food looks great for the high carb day but remember to add one fruit to your carb meals (3 meals) and only have fat and protein with the other 2. 1700 isnt alot for cutting hun...its quite low actually. |
Adding a fruit is no prob though, I love my fruit

Will reply to PM as soon as I can! you're such a good friend
That is cah-razy. But I like it So, is that lean mass or jus bodyweight? If bodyweight I should consume close to 150g That is friggin more than on the high carb days I had before!! I'm so going to be stuffed!! ): 3x8 For posterior, right?): 3x8 It feels so good and gives me time to think and prepare for the day Ack, I don't want to cut back on cardio.. Unless I can eat candy I know I can't though.

Originally posted by Jenny Monday 22nd: Meal 1: 7 whites, 1 yolk 1/2 cup oatmeal s/f jam (Q's: Are yolks ok? doesn't say in the article, can I keep my sugarfree jam for now? It has 40kcals per 100g ) It is in the article, it says half whole eggs half whites. So if you need 30G of Protein then do 3 Whole Eggs and 3 Egg whites. You don't need any other fat for that meal because that will be considered 1 of the 2 higher fat meals. S/F Jam - well its not really sugar free, they usually still have about 5G Sugar in them per serving. Also, where is t he piece of fruit that goes with the carb meal. Remember 1 small piece of fruit with each carb meal on Low and High Carb days. Meal 2: 5 oz lean pork boccoli (Q's: Should extra fat be added to this meal?) Yes Fish Capsules, you want about 15-20 fish caps a day spread out through your meals Meal 3: Post workout! 1 dl whey 2 small apples (Q's: I should have another carb source, shouldn't I? Should there be fat in this meal?) On Low Carb Days, you want 3 meals with carbs. Plus a small piece of fruit. Try and make one of your carb meals after your workout This is low carb and I'm supposed to eat 1g per pound of bodyweight? That is cah-razy. But I like it So, is that lean mass or jus bodyweight? If bodyweight I should consume close to 150g That is friggin more than on the high carb days I had before!! I'm so going to be stuffed!! 1G carb times your current bodyweight and don't forget the fruit Workouts: *Weights: Shoulders and biceps - Shoulder presses (J'bo, I don't know what push presses are, I'm a swede ): 3x8- Arnold presses (these felt good!): 3x8 - Standing laterial raises: 3x8-10 - Seated laterial raises (er, so this should be the lying incline laterials For posterior, right?): 3x8- Upright rows (are BB different?): 3x8 - Cable curls: 3x8-10 - Ez bar preacher curls (these suck!): 3x8-10 - DB Hammer curls (I love these!): 3x8 *Cardio: - AM: 60 min powerwalk |

Originally posted by Jenny Okay, so I need to buy fish oil caps. 10 a day right? Around how many grams of fat should I be getting? 15-20 caps a day. Don't worry about counting your fat. Just stick with the fish oil and lean protein sources. Also, if you don't get a high fat meal in such as eggs or beef then add 1 T. PB or Flax for the day Protein, is around 200g okay? Can I keep my morning powerwalks? I love them It feels so good and gives me time to think and prepare for the day Ack, I don't want to cut back on cardio..Protein looks good I really have a hard time thinking that my high carbs will get any higher than low carb days. Cause over 150g is friggin insane!! Unless I can eat candy I know I can't though.Don't stress about it. Listen to your body. Eat your protein and veggie, then your fruit and then eat your carbs til your satisfied. Again listen to your body. This diet works, don't skip your high carb days. Trust me it works, it got me competition ready. I know, lots of questions! Thanks Anytime hon! |

Originally posted by Jenny Btw, is the carb g net carbs or including fiber? |
Okay, 3 yolk, 3 whites. I actualluy had a small apple now that you mention it, guess I forgot to add that The fruits are counted in the carb g right? 
But that's good, I need that I trust you completly
|
Originally posted by Jodi TP told me your not really suppose to count the fruit on low carb days, its extra but seeing thats the only day you have to count carbs well, I sometimes counted the fruit on low carb days but don't worry if you don't. If you don't want 2 high fat meals then don't. High fat meals, meaning Eggs, Beef, Swordfish, Shark, Salmon. If you don't want the 2 high fat meals then have 1 high fat meal and in another meal add 1 T. Natty PB or Flax. Its up to you. Personally I like the 2 high fat meals because eggs and beef are yummy. 3-5 Caps per meal is good. |
I do like my Eggs 
|
Originally posted by Jenny Okay, I will count it when I feel like it and skip it when I don't Okay, well, I eat a lot of salmon. That's on the list of "Approved lean protein sources" in the article though Yes it is an approved protein as well as eggs and beef but they are considered a higher fat protein. Just keep that in mind and eat 2 high fat meals a day Can I do 7 whites and add other fat if I want to? That would be okay I'd think. I do like my Eggs Yes, I did. I love scrambling ground beef in with my eggs so I use to do 1 whole egg and the rest whites and then an oz. or 2 or ground beef Okay, I think I'm all out of questions right now, but there will be more Jodi rocks

Certainly does look interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you like it and how you feel (physically) a couple months from now.

Originally posted by Jenny Okay, I'm starting tomorrow with a low carb day. Today got a bit messed up from the beginning and I want a clean cycle. So, I'll enjoy some jam and almonds and stuff that won't be allowed tonight and starting tomorrow. These are the meals I plan for tomorrow, please comment Low carb day: Meal 1: 6 whites, 3 yolks 1/2 cup oatmeal, sweetner 1 apple 3 fishoil caps Meal 2: 1 dl whey 5 fish oil caps (should I add more fat? this meal is during a 10 min break in school and don't have a lot of time to prepare it) Meal 3: 1 dl whey 5 fish oil caps (same Q's as above!) Meal 4: PW 5 oz chicken breast 1 cup brown rice veggies 1 fruit 3 fish oil caps Meal 5: 7 whites, 1 yolk 1/2 cup oatmeal 1/2 tbsp flax 2 fish oil caps Meal 6: 5 oz chicken veggies 2 fish oil caps Tomorrow will be a hard day to prepare for since I'll be in school from 9:00 AM to at least 6:00 PM. Have some hours in between where I'll go to the gym. So meals 2, 3 and 4 will have to be packed. I know I should get more veggies in, which usually isn't a problem for me. Comments please
|
No more fat in those meals. Good job
I'm so happy haha, I was sweating putting together that meal plan 
. Found out I won't be in school more than a few hours, so I might switch them around a little.

Originally posted by Eggs Like your Eggs do ya honey? This diet seems like alot of work, but makes sense too Certainly does look interesting, and I'm looking forward to seeing how you like it and how you feel (physically) a couple months from now.Anyways, I'm going to go eat some eggs for breakfast! |
with some klick on, that's just heaven Yeah, I'm looking forward to that too 60 days sweets! And today is almost over for me, so make that 59
I'm a bit scared too, but I'm going to give it a try. It has worked wonders for Jodi and Les and J'bo and well, just about everyone
|
Originally posted by Jenny Haha, yeah, I like my Eggs with some klick on, that's just heaven
|
you are so silly
Delts, esp posterior, needs some more attention though. And arms needs a little work too. So, I'm putting all leg muscle groups in one day and will work a little extra on shoulders on Chest day, focusing on posterior.
I don't know if that is possible with these legs
)

Originally posted by Jenny Okay, about my workouts. J'Bo and I discussed this in PMs and came up with this mon: shoulders and bis tues: hams, booty & abs wed: only cardio thur: back & tris Fri: quads and chest sat: active rest sun: Cardio/rest But, I think I'll switch it up a little. My legs don't need a whole lot of special attention right now I think, I just need to lose all that nasty fat on them Delts, esp posterior, needs some more attention though. And arms needs a little work too. So, I'm putting all leg muscle groups in one day and will work a little extra on shoulders on Chest day, focusing on posterior.I'm also a but worried about working chest right after triceps, since they will be pretty sore the day after thursday's work. Hmm, any thoughts on this ppl? |

Originally posted by Jenny Oh man, I'm sorry 8 pak. I didn't mean to hurt you

Originally posted by Jenny That wasn't funny Haha, no, that's what I'm saying, moving quads from friday to tuesday.
|
It allows some rest and yet allows for you to do cardio and work out lots, which you like doing 
|
Originally posted by Jenny Aww, thanks honey! Jodi is a great little helper and I think I've got the diet down now Still have some w/o questions, but we can take those tomorrow, now go to bed!!
|
|
Originally posted by J'Bo jenny you could split it this way if you want to concentrate less on the legs...however the more muscle you have in the legs the leaner they will stay. mon: shoulders and abs tue: legs and calves wed: thur: chest and bis fri: sat: back and tris sun: add your cardio in when you like. does this workout better? |
But yeah, I do need to find a new gym. Body weight exercises that I'm doing are fun, but not going to encourage huge amounts of muscle growth.
I guess we're never happy! My butt has been the part I've been hating all my life while the guys have been lovin it (in some cases worshipping it ). Makes it damn hard to find pants sometimes cause they're either too big in the waist or too tight over the butt. We will rock this place , oooh, I think someone will be in for a surprise, I'm doing kickboxing now, remember? And please don't drop me on my shoulder this time 
I'm glad you joined us too! I am pretty much scared to death, but this is the best (read yummiest) dietplan I've seen in years! Jodi, Les and J'bo are such hotties and that's what really makes me trust it. Good luck NG, I'll be following your progress too!

I think you will love this plan. Its phsyccologically rewarding and easy to plan, follow and even pack. Also, high carb days rock
Went carb shopping today for high carb day I got about 6 as well, got up at 5:00 to fit in cardio. I don't mind though I quit my birth control about 2 weeks ago as well and that might affect fat loss in a good way too
|
Originally posted by Jenny Will you please look at my split too
|
I like
warmup: 5 min jog, 1:1 intervals x8 (8mins), 10 min jog, 10min walk (cooldown) Don't think I'll do that on the morning after no carb day again any time soon Thank god I get some carbs today 
Just need to know my alternatives Friday is low carb day and Saturday is no carb day.
I think I'll have one or two drinks one of the nights. Tonight I'm going clubbing, so it would be hard to get the drinks like I want them. "Hey Mr Bartender, would you please make a drink with this mix I've got here" But tomorrow is a private party and I can bring my own stuff.. Maybe..
On the bright side, your meals looked really good today
Though I'll be staying up late, so I'll make the last two meals shakes and can fit them in.
Didn't go out partying, went to a friends place instead. All the guys were of course drinking beer, but I was faithful to my water glass Tomorrow I might have some vodka though.
pm babe.
). Usually when I drink I enjoy the snacks and drink some of the beers and ciders offered me. Not yesterday, I didn't touch a thing I wasn't supposed to! I have a totally different motivation for this cut than I've ever had before. This time it's serious!! Mixed a protein shake in the bathroom and had my fo caps
) That's a good thing, right?

Originally posted by Jenny Made it on 2 shakes today! I'm getting more hungry! Have been crazy hungry today That's a good thing, right?

Originally posted by Jodi Don't you have Leptigen? |
It sucks sucks sucks!! Cause I want it!! I'm thinkning of ordering some to be delivered to Justin's address and then take it home with me when I go there. But it's like 7 weeks until that..
How was your hunger today? Are you rotating no, low, high?
I was pretty hungry yesterday actually. Did quite a bit of cardio on top of leg day, and that might not be a great thing to do on no carb day
I think it's just hormones though. Legs and butt are really sore too 
Thanks

Originally posted by Jodi High, Low & No is the correct cycle

I like it this way cause on no carb days I can think "oooh, only a few more meals until high carb"! That helps
I just wanted to post that cause I don;t want HC to think she is going about it all wrong.
I'm way too easily affected I love my cardio and won't stop doing it, just won't overdo it Got some almonds in the diet today, which I'm not proud of :o I tend to want more when I start with those, so I'm just going to stop eating them period! Carbs tomorrow
) Okay, I know, I know PATIENCE... I'm a still a bit scared of all these carbs, even though I love having them Patience is not my strongest side I guess Am going to the gym for a kick ass workout now! 
You have to be patient. It takes time. If we could all lose the amount of bodyfat we want to in a week or 2 we wouldn't be here now would we?
I just want it NOW damnit

Originally posted by Leslie Yes, that is a good reason Welcome I just wanted to post that cause I don;t want HC to think she is going about it all wrong.

You are doing so awesome Jenny!
Just so you know, in the pics that you just sent I saw some definite improvements. Now the pics were mostly upper body, but I'm sure you'll be happy with the results you get in your lower body as well
I do see improvements too, I just want it all to happen faster
I've always been a cardio girl! Tried cutting without it once and it didn't work.. But I don't want to lose my muscle mass either 
Good choice
miss yah.
I'm going to do some spinning this AM With aching legs 
Good thing I've got the keys to the spinning place and can go there whenever I want )
twice a week?? Um, I'm not sure I can handle that.. I LOVE my cardio, I really do! And my spin classes are 45 mins-60 mins. I might start teaching twice a week soon..
You can't even get me in the gym to do cardio twice a week. Nevermind 4, NEVER, the only time I ever did that was the last 2 weeks before my comp. I haven't done cardio since.
I really enjoy it, it is such a peaceful, euphoric feeling sitting there on that bike (or running) pushing yourself to the limit.. I love it!
I will cut my cardio slowly.. Starting with 4 sessions a week. Thanks!
cardio is for babies jk.
) just make sure that you eat it before you go to bed so that you dont end up eating poorly all day cause your craving everything under the sun.
I have been doing pretty good, my normal meals with some not allowed fruits like banana, some yoghurt and stuff.. This was a little test too to see if I could loosen up without binging, and I can Need to make the most of the cardio sessions I'm allowed you know
Wrote it all down as I ate, so I won't forget anything.. At least I'm an honest cheater ) )) This is what I felt like eating and it was nice not really thinking and measuring. Now I have 2 no carb days to look forward to
your doing so great 
I have been good with my diet and workouts, but still I don't see all that much change in my body. I'm thinkning of switching it up a little. Maybe No,high, no, low. What do you think J? ) )|
Originally posted by Jenny Thanks hon! I have been good with my diet and workouts, but still I don't see all that much change in my body. I'm thinkning of switching it up a little. Maybe No,high, no, low. What do you think J? And Jodi and Leslie? |
I could have never done that.
Its a gift and a curse
okay..
It doesn't really matter though because the fruit is to fill liver glycogen and anything small takes care of that.
I feel better today, most of the bloating is gone. Will give grapefruits and peaches a try. The chat yesterday really made me feel better
)|
Originally posted by Jenny Thank you guys! I feel better today, most of the bloating is gone. Will give grapefruits and peaches a try.Again, thank you guys, having you all here for me helps so much And Justin, you're amazing The chat yesterday really made me feel better

Still need to get rid of some bloating, but I am feeling much better
Okay.. No more 'matoes for Jenny..

Back then I was doing powerwalks every morning and it felt great.

Originally posted by Jenny Grapefruit is good However, my pants are still tighter than they were a few weeks ago. It makes me wanna cry Back then I was doing powerwalks every morning and it felt great.

and a glass of wine that came with it Then we went to the student pub/nightclub (it's every wednesday and every other saturday) and I had a smirnoff ice. I know, sugar.. Danced for two hours straight though. Next time I'm not having any at all.

Originally posted by Jenny Thank you Jodi.. I am TRYING really hard to have faith, but the body is sooo not working with me Okay, in a good way, need to remember that.. I'll give it a few more weeks.. I don't know what I'd do without you Jodi, thanks

Originally posted by Jodi Anytime sweetie! Now, don't be giving up on me while I'm in Vegas. If necessary, we can chat about a tweak when I get back. |

I need you all to whip me when I cry and whine

Originally posted by Jenny I'll try not to Tweak One more thing that might have something to do with this, I stopped taking birth control pills about a month and a half ago. Now this usually leads to loosing bf I guess, but it must be confusing for my body in the beginning after more than 4 years of hormone manipulation. Hopefully it will lead to a loss of bf when the body gets used to working on its own. Thanks again Jodi and I hope you'll have a BLAST in Vegas!!

Feel a bit crappy today, tired and headache. Don't know if I should skip todays workout or just suck it up.. Maybe I'd be better off resting, but that means I have to do a workout on Sunday on No carb day 
with some ECA I can do that though
I don't know what they are going to serve, hopefully a buffet where I can pick my foods.. And I'm not having any cake!! BAD JENNY!!
I'll never reach my goals if I keep doing this
you are a doll babe
haha, thanks sweetie
Hey we all are whiney I think now, oh and hey at least you didn't think you were suppossed to be eating 1c dry brown rice versus 1c cooked rice LOL that is only like a 74g Carb difference Man I am a dodo head
