My journal is already 3 pages 
But most of that is diet talk, so that's allowed 
But yesterday I had a good bye meal saying good bye to the stuff I'm not having on the diet. Like almonds and s/f jam and ice cream Haha, only a little bite of ice cream, I don't like it anymore. Too sweet! I never thought I'd hear myself say that but sugar makes me sick! Major headaches and feeling overall bad. Which is a good thing cause it makes me feel that cheating isn't worth it Almonds and cashews are a different story though, I'm gonna miss those 
My journal gets crazy!! (My fault--I just love to chat)
Doh.... i might go back and edit some journals
I like to chat too but these journals should be used for the competition only if you don't mind.

Originally posted by Stacey HI DVLMN! I can't participate either--- $$$ We can have our own comp!!

Originally posted by butterfly Everyone is in one big group but there will be 2 male winners and 2 female winners. The judging will be based on who has the most improvement overall... for example a person could be overweight and loose like 50lbs of fat while gaining muscle too... this person might not "look" the best but would have made the most improvement. That make sense
|
|
Originally posted by butterfly No problem. Besides if you think about it, you'll be lookin 2-weeks better then you do now... more of a chance for me to win It only wouldn't be fair if you wanted to use really old pics, you know Welcome to the comp

Originally posted by TheGreatSatan The enzymes on your tongue and gums absorb the carbs while it's in your mouth. Not swallowing it just cuts back on the sugar, it doesn't eliminate it. |

Originally posted by firestorm OK back on the Comp topic. So what do you all think, am I maybe taking this just a little too far??? Earlier today I was eating on one of those Jolly Rancher hard tack candies BUT so not to add sugar to my diet, I would spit in a cup. |

Originally posted by firestorm dvlmn666, Any and all "over the counter" suppliments are acceptable. NO STEROIDS or Illegal doping of any kind. Rule is simple, if you can't find it at your local health food store,over the counter Pharmacy, or department store, it's not allowed. My Reasons for this are as follows 1. If someone that is thinetically Challenged (my word for overweight) goes on the Internet or Mexico and buys Steroid Cutting drugs or diuretics, etc, they are posing more harm then good to their bodies and that does not promote good health and conditioning. 2. It just would not be fair for all the clean people in the contest. (I see from the journals that the members involved in the contest are already working their asses off (and I mean that literally) and eating so clean and healthy). |
I totally agree.

Originally posted by shortstuff Hey Babsie I just saw your new thread and totally love it, awesome work babe!!!! Oh so you have competed, do you have pics posted??

Originally posted by maniclion Looks like Tank is joining To Babs, Fire you guys could have referenced your journal pics using the vb code {img}http://www.ironmagazine.com/forum/images/vblogo.gif{/img} except use these [] brackets not these{} you then get the image address from the new window that opens when you click on the attachment hyperlink. |
I think I'm probably above average in strength for the normal 160lb'er (Imean the 160lb'er who has just started lifting 
). But when compared to a local National Powerlifting champ here who weights in the same, I way down on strength. He can lift a scarey amount of weight for reps. So it comes back to you and what you feel you need to focus on.
I've been invited to this dinner at a friends place on Saturday.. That means eating things I didn't cook myself, things that probably doesn't fit my diet..
I don't want to become Ms. Anti-social Why does every social thing have to involve food??

Originally posted by Jenny Okay, I have a problem.. I've been invited to this dinner at a friends place on Saturday.. That means eating things I didn't cook myself, things that probably doesn't fit my diet..I really don't want to cheat, I don't want any crap because I don't need it. I'm not craving it. Since I don't know this girl all that well, and don't know her friends at all, there is no way I'd bring my own food. I just can't! I know I shouldn't beat myself up over small cheats every now and then, but the thing is that I don't WANT any other food, I'm satisfied with my meal plan.. How do you deal with social events like this? My family and closest friends are all used to me eating my own stuff and staying away from the crap, but people that I don't know that well are harder to deal with. |
. They will tell you what they are serving and then you can choose what to do.
Thanks for helping
|
Originally posted by Jenny Aww, people you are so sweet Thanks for helping There will most definately be dessert, and I would feel bad saying no to that and sit there while everyone else is eating it.. If they were my close friends I would be okay, but these people I hardly know.. And I can't say "I'm doing a fitness comp and can't eat that" either, cause I'm not. Or at least not yet. Damn.. Nah, I think I'll just say no to the dinner but might come by later. |
. Of course I could pretend to be deadly allergic to sugar
|
Originally posted by Jenny Haha, BO, I wish I was mean like that, but unfortionately I'm not

Originally posted by ponyboy How do you guys deal with this? I usually tell them I just don't want to...but it's annoying having to deal with it every five minutes. Plus drinking water is annoying. |
But that's me ... you and the rest are on a different mission. Right now, I'm still lucky enough to have a fast metabolism, that when we go out, having a couple of beers won't affect my physique. Once it does, I'm sure I'll be posting this exact same question.
People was looking at me like "WTF is wrong with you, you just said no to FREE food"
|
Originally posted by ponyboy Anyone else have problems with drinking? Over the past few months I have found that I don't like to drink anymore...makes me feel sick, can't train. But when I go out with my friends there is always pressure to have "one beer". How do you guys deal with this? I usually tell them I just don't want to...but it's annoying having to deal with it every five minutes. |

Originally posted by rock4832 The strap really helped? I asked the Doc's I work with and they told me it wouldn't help. I'll try that. The elbow really hurts on Back day with weighted pull-ups and rows. Hows your tendonitis now? Is it gone or just better? |
|
Originally posted by nikegurl i think this is common. (the elbow thing) my ex got up to the 115 lb dbs for flat bench and i remember when he did it the first time he did a set of 10 but then said he wouldn't be doing that again. so i'm thinking....you got 10 good reps, what's the problem. he said it made his elbows feel very bad in a way they never had before so he dropped back to the 90-100 range and pretty much stayed there for this reason. and by the way...i think i'm gonna start doing rotator exercises again. one shoulder never feels too good on chest day. thanks for the reminder! |
I really like doing it with DB's but have gone back to the bar because I can't progress past 70lb's. |
Originally posted by firestorm Rock your in a panic over 2 weeks? That is all? Damn man,, that doesn't even count as a layoff. If your looking at attempting a comeback in 2 weeks then DON'T TOUCH THE WEIGHTS AT ALL FOR THAT TIME. |

Originally posted by ponyboy BTW, you bastards are f'ing strong...at my peak I was pressing 65's for flat dumbbell press. The only reason I couldn't go up to 70's was actually getting them into start position, it was impossible for me w/ my bad shoulders. |
