How's the anti-candida diet going? How long do you plan on following it?


Posted by: atherjen

Hi aggies! diet is going well. the first few days well sheer torture.. felt kinda disoriented andf headaches and body aches. also I have been sleeping MUCH more lately.
yestarday I felt great though. which is improvment
as for how long it will last, depends on my progress and how long my body cleanses itself. lets hope not too long!

How fast and how far did you jog?


Posted by: atherjen

PM - ummm it looks like a city?

Patrick - moderate pace, and went downtown(downhill) and then back.. took about 40mins.. but I stopped a few times because of silly pedestrians and traffic lights!


Posted by: PreMier

I was just wondering if it was a city, or more rural looking.


Posted by: atherjen

definitly city.
and did I ever mention how much I DONT LIKE it here!(I wont say hate-thats strong word)

hey if you wanna see what it looks like where I live I know this girl that is trying soo hard to get a sublease on her bachelor apartment for May-Sept.


Posted by: PreMier

You suggesting I move up there? I would need to find a gym that was far away from you... Cant have a girl showing me up


Posted by: atherjen


no worries I would be 8hours or so away!
(you can sublease my place!!)


Posted by: PreMier

Where would you go if I subleased your place?


Posted by: atherjen

back home.. well to my dads. my mom just sold her place and is moving back in with him (their used to be retirment home.. long story).
I need awayyyyy from here. its retarded to be paying all this money each month if I dont need to be here. I start my studies for my doctorate of naturopathy next month(first year is distance learning in modules) and then i could work at home, study and save extra cash and pay for my schooling.
keep your toes crossed for me!

Hey sweetie, hows the detoxing thing going? Any new foods you wanna tells us about it? Any foods you are missin like crazy???


Posted by: Sapphire

Hi there Jenny Muscles!!

How are you doing Hun?

I have a question for you... when you do Stiff leg deads do you use a block to stand on? I don't... is that bad? How far should I be going down when bending?
Thanks Hottie!!


Posted by: atherjen

JIllybean- it is going well. a lot of freakin things to take and has to be specific times, blah blah. hmmm yah I was missing my oats but I dont know.. that craving is kind of gone now.
no whey protein at all. tons and tons and tons of veggies, 3T.virgin coconut oil/day, 2-3T.ground flaxseeds... nothing processed or additives. no gum, caffeine or sweetners except stevia.
no fruit - I had a dream the other night I went on a blueberry eating fest. dont ask... lol
I can defintly feel my body riding of nasty things. somedays I feel headaches and body aching and other I feel better sustained eneryg and focus. its all going to take time. Im really not minding it too much, aside from when I feel icky.
thanks for asking hun!

Cyndipoo- its JennIE! but thats ok, I dnt get called that rarely anyways! hehe
I am doing good, just got back from the gym, off to do a buncha errands soon. how are you??
-hmm nope I dont use a platform when I do SL deads. Ive seen some ppl do them that way but personally I get just as good stretch and results without. I find Im more stable without it too. I just go down almost until the plates touch the ground.. you'll feel it in your hammies!

Have a great day chickies!

Hi AJ!

How is the detox going? How much longer do you think you will be doing it for? I am sorta detoxing now - from caffeine

Sorry about the photo shoot. More opportunities will come your way, I am SURE of it


Posted by: atherjen

JodieBolognie - evenin' woman! how was your day?

Cyndi- ohh gosh cant believe you called me that! haha
men think they know it all! blah. do what works for you is what I say!

Stace- thanks hun! I was talking to one of the other girls in the apt beside me and she said shes having a terrible hard time to sublease too! ohh dear lord I wish I could get a sublease soon...

StaryStar- Im feeling a bit better, have my days and spells though. ohhhh you need some decaf herbal teas! those do the trick for me when I crave the coffee or something hot to sip on.
ahhhhhh thanks but you know, I just dont think I can honestly ever see me being a "model" type. Im terrible unphotogenic and hate wearing tons of makeup n stuff. just dont think its me!


Posted by: JLB001

I'm ready to go homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
jenJen...you don't have to wear tons and tons of makeup to do modeling stuff.

Whoa, whats this? Jen is finally starting to believe in what everyone's telling her? That she really is inspirational? 'Bout damn time.


Posted by: atherjen

Thanks YM

myCat - he is in his 60's somewhere.. old as my grandpa... Im sure he is married and has grandchildren. he has far too many gray hairs for me! hahaha

Monolith- ummmm nanh I didnt say I believed him, but his kindness was grateful!


Posted by: J'Bo

Hey Jen.
Girl you need a new journal, this one is just too long
You will get used to the makeup thing. That was the part that freaked me out the most about competing and modelling. Get someone to do it right and you will look great. If you dont wear alot of makeup for shoots you will look drowned out.


Posted by: BabsieGirl

morning


Posted by: Sapphire

Good Morning Jen!!

Glad you are sounding happy!! I had a rough day yesterday... but I feel better today!!


The weather here is disgusting, cold and rainy.. blah!

Have a great day Sweetie!

Posted by: ncgirl21

Hey Jen!! Hope your having a good one!! You really should consider the modeling thing- you'd be great .


Posted by: Stacey

WoW Jen Sounds like you had a AWESOME WONDERFUL DAY Yesterday!!!! That walking sounds great--- Sounds So nice!!!!!

What a nice man saying he will sponsor you.. thats great.. keep it in the back of your head for future use

Glad you got to enjoy yourself!


Posted by: atherjen

Afternoon everyone! I had such a busy morning before work.. now its dead.. blah... this weather or time of year is making the days soo slow here!

Jen- haha yah this has gotten long. but I havent had it too long :P
you are very right, Id need to find someone who knows how to do makeup right for ME to show me.. otherwise its disaster!
how are things with you beautiful?

Babs- Afternoon! hows your day going?

Cyndipoo- sorry to hear you had a ruff day yestarday. mean X's. I will send some sunshine your way! this is first for us in a longgg time. sincelast summer!
you have a wonderful day too!

chiquita- hey girl! thanks for stopping in my journal!! how have you been?

Andrea- thanks hun! I dunno... just cant see me as that type! hope your having a great day girlie!

Stace- it was soo soo nice! I really enjoyed it! then I called my mom last nite and told her and she was like "you were running alone again?" hahaha I was alone everywhere 99%of the time! shes such a worrier!! I wish I wasnt working and could go out for that again today too! its nice out! supposed to rain all weekend! how are you today? Hope your having a great one!


Posted by: jstar

Hi Jen!

YAY - it finally hit 50 where you are huh? Feels great - hope it stays nice now!

Jen - you should listen to others who give you compliments like that because it is SO true. You obviously impress a lot of people around here (including me) and people around you have noticed too. Keep an open mind about the modeling and competition stuff. Sometimes it takes a while for us to believe in ourselves but don't count yourself out yet!


Posted by: gwcaton

TGIF !!!

Hi Jen, Hope you have a great day ! I see I have a lot of catching up to do in your journal. very busy place and i was only gone a week .


Posted by: ncgirl21

Hey girl! Hope your having a good morning so far . I'm sooooo ready for the weekend. I need a vacation though, a real one, maybe at the beach, that would be nice!!

You like it cuz its EZ. EZ bar curls is what you should refer to them as now

I only used 90Lb straight bar today. Your catching me!!!!


Posted by: Leslie

Hey Jen. Just trying to catch up. Your trining looks great..as usual
Sorry to hear about the canida thing. I am glad to see you are not letting it set you back As for the shoot- photo shoots can be costly- esp when providing your own outfits. I had actually cancled one becuase I didnt feel like going out and buying things that I would never wear out. On my last shoot- I left the tags in some outfits I knew I would return, hehe


Posted by: atherjen

its not EASY!!! gosh if those curls were easy then Id be doing something diff. trust me.. those babies arent a peice of cake! thats why I like!

LES!!! its great to see you around!! thanks for checking up on me woman! Your right-Im not going to let anything get me down or stand in my way of goals or anything... its just an obstacle to overcome, as I have been through many in my life, whats another!
HAHAHA thats hilarious that you just returned the clothes! I never thought of that!! lol !! too smart!


Posted by: greekblondechic

Hey Jen! Hey Leslie!

Girls, make sure if you do that to keep your tags WELL HIDDEN!


Posted by: jstar

Ooooh girl, I hear you, I think I'm gonna go tan after I get my hair cut today. I wanted to this morning, but after training and 15 minutes of cardio, I didn't have time.


Posted by: atherjen

OMG!!!!!!!! I am SOOOO freakin stressed!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I have been talking with the head doctor at the school that I am attending for my doctorate of naturopathy all afternoon. basically I HAVE TO MOVE HOME at the end of this month. as the first year is distance learning and I will HAVE to work along side my ND back home to fulfill criteria in my course. this is a disaster!! I am DESPERATE for a sublease! omg!!! I just dont know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Jodie- sprinting is awesome for the leggies!! running stairs too! when do you start doing those??

Tam- the darn tanning salon was CLOSED today!! seems like everything is!! dang even my gym was (but I still got to workout)


Posted by: Monolith

Chill out, Jen. Getting to work along side your ND and get credit is very cool... the sublease will work out. 30 days is a long time.


Posted by: ncgirl21

Calm down hun- it will all work out. I'll keep my toes, eyes, hell everything crossed for ya!!


Posted by: greekblondechic

Damn, must be problems w/ school day *HUGS*

Happy Easter everyone!! sure doesnt feel like a holiday here... just everything is closed. My family and relatives/friends are all have the traditional feast today and had a huge easter egg hunt this morning wish I was home to see everyone!!

anyways my sister sent me some pics I wanna share!!

this first one is of my neice and nephews sitting in the Texas flowers.
if you look at the shirts real close they say "Our Roots are Canadian" (their roots t-shirts) but the cute part is that they are american but my Dad is canadian.. dont know if u understand that or not but its real cute to our family! my Dad got them the shirts and sent them to them
Riley(the lil girl) looks just like me and my sis when we were younger! the other two brats look like their daddy.


Posted by: JLB001

They look cute sitting out in the Bluebonnets!


Posted by: atherjen

ohhh Jodie thats what they are called! I just knew they were Texas flowers!


here's another one! The kids woke up this morning for their easter egg hunt and were in for a surprise! (still dont know HOW my sister did it!!) chalk Id guess. The tracks led from the front door to their baskets full of goodies...... I guess Riley kept saying "this feels like a dream, I've never seen bunny footprints in my life".


Posted by: JLB001

How cute! Did they have to hunt for their Easter baskets? Mom use to always hide them on us!

Bunny tracks...looks like chalk! Bet the kids loved that!

The Bluebonnets are our state flower Jen. They bloom only in the spring. You can see them all over the highways and in feilds out in the country. Some inthe city, if they have been planted there.


Posted by: atherjen

Jodie I think that the baskets were just on the conter, no hunting for them-just the eggies! I miss doing that!!

I think it had to of been chalk and some kinda prints! clever!!

they are very perdy flowers!!

Just grab a dumbell and hold it between your feet You should be able to hold up to 25-30lbs between there


Posted by: GRIFF

Workout is lookin good jenn as usual, try holding the DB w/ your feet depending on the shape of the dbs you have seems possible, although a belt would be much easier....


Posted by: atherjen

hmmmm good idea! thanks guys!!


Posted by: Stacey

awww Love the pictures!!!! They look adorable sitting in the bluebonnets!!! Last year I took my dog's pictures sitting in them!!

They look soo cute Jen!! I bet you do miss them!!!!

Yep its a tradition down here to get your pictues done in the bluebonnets. There was traffic on the highway on friday b/c everyone was pulling over to take pics!! My granny has them all in her pastures every year!

That was sweet of your sister to send you the pictures!! They are sooo cute. The little boy in the middle (top middle) LOOKS JUST LIKE MY COUSIN- Identical I swear.. I thought it was him..His name is Bryce. Girl they look like Twins!!!


Posted by: M.J.H.

Hey Jen, Easter workout looks damn good! I am guessing that your gym was open huh? No gyms around here were open at all.

Keep up the hard work!


Posted by: atherjen

Stace- your right those flowers are soooo pretty!! I can see why everyone likes them soo much! Im going to print that pic off on glossy paper and put it in a frame!
will those flowers still be in bloom when I come down in June???

REALLY? my goodness Mac (McKennan) looks like my brother somewhat -especially when he was younger. Its funny how ppl look alot alike sometimes. You could take the younger pics of me, my sister and ones of RIley and put them together and think we'd of all been triplets! not kidding!

Hey Jen! Nope I wish they would still be out in June..that would be nice!!! They don't last that long..sometimes a month..sometimes a month and a half. Really depends on the weather! Thats why people go NUTS on the highways when they are all out & pretty!! We have A LOT of family pictures in them.

That will be so pretty to put that picture in a frame! Good Idea!


I bet your legs were burning girl--bringing the squats down to the floor!! I like going down far! Feels awesome!~ Great workout Jen!

Trap bar deads allow people to use their quads instead of their posterior chains to deadlift. That is not right. You'll lift oodles more with your posterior than you ever will with your quads.

SF's math for the day:

Quads = weak
Posteior = STRONG LIKE BULL

Damn, workout looks really really good Jen. Those supersets must have been intense, especially for your legs! How do you like ATF squats in comparison to regular squats?

Griff- its supposed to rain here ALL week. its been dark and downpouring all mornin! typical east coast maritime weather though. blahhhh
Red Sox! nice, Ive never been to a game like that.. just local leagues! lol

Mike- thanks! Im sure feeling the effect of that workout today! I really enjoyed the deep deep squats(ATF?? ass to floor??-that what you mean? lol). great change and felt it much different.

JodieBolognie- you guys deserve some nice weather though after all those storms! even though you really dont know the meaning of cold dreary weather!

I HATE this rain!!!!!! you wacko!!! seems like its raining all over Canada.

Raining here too... really bad timing as well. I raked up a bunch of debris in my lawn yesterday (sticks, leaves, etc) into a few big piles... was gonna haul it down to the compost pile today. Of course, now its all wet, and weights like 8000lbs.

At least the wind wont scatter it around.
