You always do cardio on the treadmill set on a high incline. In your opinion is this a better "fat burner" than say running on a flat incline?

Posted by: J'Bo

Jill...i never run and never will...too hard on the knees...the incline builds the booty and calves while burning dah fat

and i feel like i am in the mountains when i do it

Hi J!!

How is shock week going??? This week is power week for me, heavy weights low reps...

Chris had a bad cold this weekend, but he is starting to feel a lot better. Luckily I did not catch it! Glad you and B are doing so great!!! We are doing great too, he even mentioned the M word! He said we can be married someday if I wanted. I am not saying I want to get married NOW, but maybe in a year or two. We'll see...

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Jbo!! I'm sooo happy for you and your honey!! Sounds like you did find yourself a Keeper!!

Posted by: J'Bo

Oh shit Cyn Thats WICKED...the M word

i think you and your little soulmate Chris are wonderful

and cant wait to meet you both...i am done shock week and back on power...i love the power leg day

Stace....your sooo sweet...yah i fell and we are doing soooo good...i think i might have to keep this one around for a bit

Jen....i am trying my best to get my body in shape...it freaks me out that i am only 8 weeks out from the shoot...time just flies by and i dont know if i am gonna be ready

i will post some pics in the next couple of weeks and you can tell me what you think...how you doing?

Posted by: Rissole

Do you use tempo's on power week J?? That was a GP factor....
3/0/1 3 negative with heavy is nasty!!

Posted by: J'Bo

Posted by: Rissole

Rep range should be 2/1/2 and shock 2/1/2 1/0/1. Its up to you if ya wanna use em

Toots.....

Posted by: J'Bo

i will usem toots

today with my power bi and tri workout.
i will scare all the boys away with my pipes

seriously though its that time of the dieting when i feel skinny and small...everyone tells me that i am not but its mid way to getting what i consider lean and so its a toughy...i hope to get through it...i am kinda stressin but HAN says i will be alright....thing is that i flatten out REALLY fast....2 days with low carbs and fat and i am flat....then i cheated on pb and celery before bed one night and i woke up looking like a tight lean chick

so we are gonna fat and refeed me instead of carb load me

ok enough blabbing.

i havent posted in a couple of days....not cause i am cheating or slacking but because i have been working 14 hour days, full time job, running the business, relationship and training for the shoot and comps is tough.

time to get back to work.

Posted by: atherjen

HEya Jen!

I'd be stuffed then

Posted by: J'Bo

hey mini abby

well once again no time to post in the journal but things are going smashingly. diet has kicked in and my skin feels paper thin. the fat and cabr loads helo me from flattening out and keeping my mind in check. training is going wicked and i have started a heavy tempo'd program where weight doesnt count as much as tempo and it feels wicked.

diet is good and i am starting to get sick if i even cheat on pb, so thats a good sign

love life and business is perfect. 2 more clients and more coming in May

Posted by: Sapphire

Hi Sweetie!

Just stopping by to say hello to my favorite muscular hottie! I am doing rep range this week. I did really good with power week, VERY heavy, VERY sore! Chris is doing GPs P/RR/S too now!! I still like shock week the absolute best!!!!

Take care Jenny!!

Posted by: J'Bo

i am off the rep/shock/power thang. at this point i just need to do some sculpting. i am REALLY happy at the changes my body has made over the past week or two. i am on target i think. i have lost alot of body fat and so i just have to tighten my skin up now cause its lose from the fat loss.

my legs are looking good. not quite as big as i had hoped that they would get this off season but definately much better than last year. i am seeing some lines in the legs and thats a big improvement.
the president of the association is upset that i am competing at provincials again because he is training a girl that is going up against me and because i already am qualified to go to nationals he feels as though i am taking someones spot

that just motivates me to kick more ass. if i win overall i will never have to requlify for nationals again and thats my goal. its tough but i gotta get high goals

there is a 8.5% bf chicky that is gonna be tough to beat, but i am gonna do my best and make everyone here proud

Posted by: greekblondechic

You will do great!!!!!!!

Posted by: atherjen

no worries Jen you will KICK HER BUTT!!!

Posted by: J'Bo

thanks hotty's

Slow down on those 14 hour days I know you're extreme like me, but I learned quick not to work like that too long or you'll crash and burn.

Posted by: J'Bo

hey peeps.
i am on a quest to shop this weekend and get most of my photo shoot outfits. its a huge task but someone has to do it

my boot camp is full and i am making two different levels for the summer session since they have been so popular.

we have so much fun and i am trying to organize a Boot Camp Weekend Retreat for 2005. All the IM girls gotta come.

Last night i saw CRAZY abs and my love was even impressed

I cant wait to show everyone.
I got my 2 piece material last night, its bright blue. Dont know if its gonna look great but we will see. I was thinking of going red for the one piece. What do you guys think?

Posted by: naturaltan

Boot camp retreat sounds like a great idea. I know the camp that the missus went to in Calgary with Jenny Hendershott ... there was talk about such a thing and it was very well received!

Posted by: J'Bo

well peeps here is the update on me.

health has taken a turn for the worse.
i have been having lower back/hip problems for a couple weeks. they just crack all the time. my neck has also been sore.

starting this weekend my neck was all swollen when i woke up in the morning and this morning my left side of my face was numb. it stayed that way all day. i have started to get terrible headaches and its because of my neck being out. or so i think. then my hips and low back have been spasming all weekend and unless i snap them i feel dizzy and like i am gonna puke.

so today i went to the chiro to get some treatment cause i was seeing spots and was dizzy and in so much pain that i puked. he gave me ultra sound and snap the shit outta me. my back feels a bit better but he took my blood pressure and its REALLY low. he thinks that i might have had a mini heart attack or something in the night and wants me to go see my gp right away. so i am heading over there tomorrow.

i am laying on ice (but still trained today

) and will get through this. just wanted to let everyone know whats going on.

kisses to you all

Posted by: atherjen

kisses back at you!!

and hugs too!!

I am sooo sorry to hear that Jen!!!! I hope that the docs can figure out whats wrong and help!!!

hang in there and get better!!

Posted by: djrx06

Gotta run to my all day training seminar but I just want to say that I love ya and things are going to be ok. Rest up and things will get better.

Oh yeah........I love house music!!

Posted by: naturaltan

mini heart attack???!!

Please do be careful! Keep us updated.

Oh NO!! Jenny... I am worried about you!!!!! Please please be careful. Shouldn't you go to the doc TODAY???? You shouldn't be training if you are sick.. who cares about that, your health is crucial!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE PM me when you find out what is wrong!!!!!!! I am very worried.

Well i went to see the Dr. and she said that my blood pressure is normal for me and the Chiro never should have told me that.

She told me that she thought Bodybuilders were a strange breed and i agreed. We are the ONLY athletes that enjoy pain and refuse to take pain killers or anti inflammatories. Well she gave me Vioxx and ordered me to go to bed with one. So within 12 hours i have gained 5 lbs of water and pain has subsided a bit. She wants me on them for 20 days and i said not possible but i will do 10 and then come off and see what happens. She loves when i argue with her

She said that she couldnt believe that i was even walking cause my traps, neck and face are so swollen and full of knots. Oh well thats me Knotty

Well i am off to do cardio as nothing is gonna stop this Jenny

Posted by: Sapphire

Glad you are OK Jenny! You had me worried....

Posted by: J'Bo

i was worried too.
just got back from cardio and although i feel like a bucket of water was put on my booty and legs. things might just be ok.

'Ms. Knotty'..
I like that..it has a snap to it, do't ya think?
I am glad that you are ok!

Why am I not suprised you were arguing with your doc?

The red suit? You know...ca'nt tell...we are just going ot need pics..for verification and informative purposes...
(you know I had to say this!)
glad things are going well for you otherwise!

Posted by: J'Bo

Hey peeps.

I am struggling to stay motivated and keep going. Holding all this water is really discouraging

and hard to get through. My neck is so sore and hips are not doing any better. I am just gonna ignore them from now on. As far as i am concerned the Vioxx is doing nothing

and so i am gonna give it one week and then i am done!
Its my sad week and so i feel like throwing in the towel in pretty much every aspect of my life....relationship, training, competing, business, etc. I know that its just me overreacting but i am kinda annoyed that i get this way EVERY friggin month for the last 8 years

so my question for you guys is, how do you deal with it knowing that your overreacting about everything? just wait til this week passes? Damn i hate being a women

Posted by: sara

J'Bo you can do it hun! we all here with you you

Posted by: Jenny

Aww honey!! I'm so sorry you're not feeling well

Please take care of yourself, your health is so much more important than any definition!! Remember the ear bleed last year, don't want to go there again

Love you sweets

I think that's a very wise ting to do. There are far more important things in life than competing

Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend

Posted by: J'Bo

Thanks everyone for all your support.

I had alot of rest last night in amougst my prep cooking for a triple birthday party this weekend

Posted by: Fit Freak

J'Bo...you sound overwhelmed with things. Try to take it one day at a time and find something maybe that relaxes you. I hope things turn around for the better. When Ifeel like that sometimes I try to get away from it all and then come back and re-visit my issues....the time away helps me refocus on what's important and why I do what I do. That being said your health, work...and relationships with friends, family, b/f, etc...are important as is your competition. Good luck making a decision for what's BEST for U!!!!!!!!!. It's hard but you're already a huge success to us and I'm sure everyone else around you. Just remember there's always another year if this isn't the right time.

Whatever you decide I hope you feel better asap

...and you're already a winner in more ways than one

Posted by: Sapphire

Yeah... what Fit Freak said!!!

Posted by: nikegurl

Yeah....what Sapphire said!!!

Posted by: greekblondechic

Feel better soon darling.

Try doin some little things that make you happy, I struggle with extreme moodiness monthly as well, even tho I am moody all month long anyway. I guess it's just good to be aware, and to remind those close to you how you are feeling. It sucks tho, cuz you feel like you've lost control over your feelings. Maybe you can try meditation? I should try that..

hmmm...

Posted by: hardasnails1973

J'bo keep your fucking head screwed on straight and you will be fine. You know that competiting take alot of wear and tear on you emotionally and mentally, physically. I known you for 2 years and you never where a quitter. Like my self god was giving me a wake up call and tell me to slow down and to balance out my self mentally, spiritiallu, emotinally, phyiscally. I have been through hell and have bounced back but not just phyiscally but also mentaly, emotioinally. You got to many things going on and eventually you are going to get burned out. Its just going to be a matter of time and you will know the symptoms. People under estimate the power of stress and drs just say its all horse shit, but i know what it can do to use mentally and physically first hand. Just back off a little bit and just let things come naturally. One important tip I can give you is to seperate things and you will be much better off. When out with brad last thing to worry about is competing. That is saved for the gym. As my best training partner said to me. As soons as you step in that gym leave work at work home at home. You are in the gym time to focus. If I did not focus are off that day he would tell me to go the fuck home and come back when I was ready. When I left work I kept work there never brought it home with me..For eample I don;t post alot on here because the more I think about it the more obsessed I become and if i am a work my mind is focused on that and nothing else. I plan my meals and eat accordingly, but that is done out side of work. YOu will be just fine just pull back on intensity for a bit you got plenty of time and you are way a head of schedule. If you need to vent you know where I can be found. Your health is more important then a day on stage. So like fitness said. Pull back and re evalute things. Its amazing how our lives parallel one anothers

Posted by: J'Bo

well just an update.

i guess this is what they call the lows of the rollar coaster we call life. i physically feel better now, but this weekend my boy and i split

so i am a little upset

and its a little hard to think about everything at the moment.
life just seems to be alot more pleasant when you have someone you love beside you as you achieve your goals.
oh well there has to be an up to this roller coaster sometime....right?

Posted by: sara

I'm sorry to hear this J'Bo

Posted by: J'Bo

Hi J

long time no talk.

i'm glad your feeling better, being sick is one of the worst feelings.

on the other hand, sorry to hear about your boy. honestly though, to make yourself feel better, read some of the old pm's you sent me about relationship probs. there's no question you know what you are talking about, so read up on some of your own advice, and it will def. help, cuz it helped me so much

Posted by: J'Bo

thanks everyone. you really help although it will just take time i guess.

flex= thanks but its easier to give advice then look inside and use it for yourself.

Posted by: Burner02

hey hottie!
ditto on what everyone else said.
You've always been there w/ good advice for those of us, as Flex said, take some of your own adivce.
BTW: YOU BETTER BE COMING TO VEGAS THIS FALL!

Sounds like someone needs a little aloha in her life right about now. Don't be so down haoile girl, the sun comes up and the sun goes down. Your sun is going to shine bright again don't you worry.

Posted by: J'Bo

ff= i would love to come eat some seafood. just need someone to show me around. you have any great house club's?

but i kinda am brown...could i maybe pass for a loco?

Posted by: aggies1ut

Haolie LMAO, my Korean grandma picked up that word when she was living in Hawaii while my uncle was stationed in the Army.

because she knows that I am a day sleeper and wasn't around to post before you....

Posted by: Burner02

I can sum it up in one word:
hes:
GAY!
A flaming, homosexual, who cannot appreciate you. Maybe critique your shoe collection...

Woman..if I were yours..and saw you wearing what you described, dinner would have BURNED!
oohh..there goes some of the mystery of my call sign..

I've had the pleasure of talking with you. I've seen your pics. If this guy cannot see the wonderful, sensual woman in front of him, then it is his loss.
If I were single, I'd be up there in a heart beat to get to you....now, I may have to hear how my pal, Flex wants to sweep you off your feet...
B TW:
I'm not sure you got everything off your chest..I think you should send some pics of your chest to make sure it is clear. (clothing would just get in the way)

Posted by: Stacey

Hey J! Sorry your feeling so yucky!!! I know its hard to eat.. I think your doing good though.

Just want you to know I'm thinking of you!!!

Posted by: Fit Freak

Damn.....I think your "boy" has "ISSUES"

After reading that....well....that's all I have to say....ISSUES

Posted by: Burner02

1) good call
2) I bet they will open as soon as you start your work out!
3) love to..can't afford..say howdy to mickey for me!

Posted by: Jenny

Hey honey

I'm glad we were able to chat some yesterday

You know, that guy has ISSUES just like FF said.. I mean MAJOR ISSUES! I think he's a damn insecure creature who feels intimidated by you.. Now that's no good, that won't make you happy

I think FF should go with you to Disney World

All of this will pass house princess....Trust me. Life ain't easy and I know many people here can claim that and if you want to think of it as a rollercoaster then so be it. But if you are like me and love rollercoasters, you can deal with some of the highs and lows with the best of them. Thats why they've got handle bars. When you hit a point in the ride that you don't enjoy then you hold on until the time is right and then you let go once again. Ultimately in the end you will have a smile on your face. I know I will at the end of my ride.

Continue training and focus on what you need for yourself independent of anyone else. That will create a healthy magnetic energy and you will find the right person for you because you are taking care of yourself and you will give off that naturally without any extra effort.

I'm here for you if you need me.

Sorry about yesterday.

P.S. ~~> You go to Disney and I'll be there.

Posted by: Sapphire

Jen I will say this again ... like I always do...

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, SEXY, GORGEOUS, HOT, PERFECT. Every guy on IM would love to date you and every girl would love to have your body.

We all love you!! You deserve a man who worships you inside and out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
