LOL - Stick figures. I don't think I'll finish the marathon though. I ran 9 miles yesterday and I couldn't feel my feet anymore. It killed me. My sister has been doing this for years so how the hell am I suppose to keep up with that? I'm going try though because I promised her. Stupid me.

Yeah you can

Your body will condtion quickly once you are running regular. You will be surprised. If you haven't already, look for some marathon training schedules that give you a running schedule to train by. There was a radio jocky close to Charlotte that weighed 260+ and was waay out of shape. He got on one and several months later he ran one and finished.
No doubt you can do it!

you never cease to amaze me ... a marathon ... You go girl!!

You Go Girl!!! How tall are you Jodi?

Posted by: BritChick

Good luck Jodi, will be following along!

Posted by: JerseyDevil

I know you won't listen to me.... what the hell does Jersey know about running? But in another life I was one of those stick figures.

Alternate 5 and 7 mile runs, so Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday go 5, 7, 5, 7. Work up to the pace you expect to run for the entire marathon distance. If you're shooting for 9 minutes miles, then work up to a 9 minute mile pace for both runs. Take Friday off, then Saturday try a 10 miler going a full 2 to 3 minutes a mile slower. Each Saturday, try to increase the distance... but not the pace. Rest on Sunday and repeat. What your trying to do here is get your body used to running at 'race pace' at about a 1/4 of the distance. Then Saturday is to train your body to get used to the length of the race. This system works incredibly well. Just be ready to drop a ton of bodyfat... and muscle.

Posted by: Jodi

Thanks everyone

DG & Jersey - My sister is a Marathon runner and has given me a schedule to train by.

It's scary. I'm downing the BCAA's and have increased my protein to almost 2GxBW per day. I've never gone this high with protein before but because I want to compete in BB in March, I have to spare as much as I can. So far so good

Hi Jodi. Good luck in this comp, and it was great meeting you. You are fucking awesome

Posted by: Jodi

Hey Jake, Welcome back!

It was so awsome meeting you as well!

Posted by: JLB001

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Have to get back to putting stones on my suit.

Posted by: Jodi

Hi Jodie! I hope everything is going good in your final week for your competition. I'm sure it is. I can't wait to see pics

Posted by: JLB001

I'm so tired this week! Usually am not like this. Been having lots of changes this week too.

Craig took pics tonight, but to me I look like a whale so I'm not going to post them.

He did talk me into wearing the pink suit.

Posted by: Jodi

I'm sure you are just being hard on yourself and you look great. Hell you looked great in Vegas. We are our own worst critics.

Sorry to hear you are tired. Maybe your body is ready for a break from dieting and competing?

Posted by: JLB001

I think it does. Only a few more days.

Do you actually weigh out an oz of nuts???? That cant be very many.....

Question....as you know I am trying to lose fat, maybe gain a bit of muscl-heck I dont know. Would 3 egg yolks be to much in day? How about 4? The only other added fat I get is from fish oil. Thanks

Posted by: Jodi

I would never do 3 or 4 egg yolk

Instead I'd increase your omega 3's. I never do more than 1 yolk a day.

I buy the nuts in 1 oz. packages at Costco.

Posted by: P-funk

Why don't you like 3 or 4 yolks??

Posted by: Jodi

Because I prefer to get my fats from other sources and not yolks. I keep sat fats to a min. and keep n3 & 6's up instead. I get enough sat fat in beef and other protein sources.

Posted by: JLB001

Yolks make the whites look funny. I freak when they get in my whites.

Posted by: aggies1ut

How many miles are you building your "long run" to?

Posted by: Jodi

Probably going to go to 18 miles. My sister usually builds up that before a marathon. I don't think I'm going to make this and I'm really trying to talk her into doing the 1/2 marathon

Posted by: aggies1ut

Why doesn't she just do the full and you do the half? Or was the agreement that you guys would run the race together? You could always stop at the half and then watch her finish and greet her with beer and pasta.

Posted by: Jodi

We wouldn't be able to run together and we want to run together. I'm working on the 1/2 marathon and if I do that pester and begging thing enough she'll give in, either that or I'll make her squat with me.

Posted by: aggies1ut

If she knows what's good for her, she'll drop down to the half.

Posted by: PreMier

Posted by: P-funk

How many weeks until the Marathon? Are you peridozing your weight training so it doesn't affect your marathon training?

Posted by: Jodi

It's 7.5 weeks and I have to try to get up to 18 miles

I'm only at 9 but going for 10 this weekend.

I don't do any long running on the same day as weight training and save my big run of the week for Sundays so it's only once a week. But smaller runs a few times a week.

right, but what about backing off the intensity and volume of your resistance training? With all that lifting and running I'd just be scared of overtraining big time.

Posted by: Jodi

Me too. But because I'm doing the comp in March I don't want to back off intensity. However, next week I decided to take off from weight training and only running once. I haven't taken a break in several months so I'm thinking it's about time I do so before it's too late to be able to do so.

damn, that is tough. you should pick one thing and jsut go with it....lol. you are spreading yourself to thin.

If I were me I know what I would pick...........MARATHON ALL THE WAY BABY!!!! LET'S GO RUNNING!!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Posted by: Jodi

I can't and the marathon doesn't mean anything to me but the BB comp does so that's what I need to think of first. I'm only doing this marathon because I promied my sister. I'm trying to coax her into only doing the 1/2 marathon. Then I could manage just fine but now it's a struggle which is why I need to take a week off.

Posted by: aggies1ut

Any particular reason why you are substituting flax/borage for Sesathin?

Side note
I say compromise with you sis. You guys should run the half together. She knows that bb is more your thing and you know that running is her thing.

Posted by: Jill

Your opinion for fat...1-2T pb or 1-2 Egg yolks??? *Not taste wise

couldn't agree more. you're doing the sisterly thing by running with her so she should do her part by cutting the distance. it's only fair.

i say you start guilting her soon if she doesn't give in on her own.

Posted by: Jodi

I'm working on it. She'll give in soon enough.

I am the oldest sister!

I just haven't bought any sesathin. I'm not trying to lose weight right now and I'm not really cheating. Also, my nails were getting little cracks and I have nice long nails and don't want them ruined. The flax/borage oil combo really helps with hair and nails

Posted by: aggies1ut

Hmm, good tip on the hair and nails.

Today's stats

2 weeks ago...............Today
Weight: 124................124
Chest: 35.5.................35.5
Arms: 11.5..................11.5
Waist: 28....................27.75
Abs @ Navel: 31.5........30.5
Lower Abs: 33..............32.25
Hips: 35......................35
Under Butts/highs: 35....35
Thighs: 21.25...............21.5
Calves: 14...................14

Well it certainly looks like I'm haven't lost any muscle. I'm am pleased with these stats. Waist/abs down and everything else the same. I can't ask for much more than that right now with all this running!

Posted by: Jodi

Yesterday diet was good. No workout because I'm taking a week off. My legs are too sore to run today so I'm going to have to run tomorrow night.

Today diet was ok til I went out to dinner. I went to a Jap Steak house and had sushi and then the table top cooking with steak and chicken and lots of white rice, butter and oil

I ate the bad food for you. Pizza and a buttload of tollhouse cookies.

Posted by: Jodi

Mmmmm Cookies

Can you send me some?

Lets now add on to Japenese Steakhouse an ice cream sandwich and fudge brownie at Starbucks. Oh and carmel latte. Oh, I'm doing great

Posted by: JLB001

I would....but I think I ate 14 of them. Boobie is getting the rest, I got them too crispy for me.

I was attempting to eat clean today, I did good up to the baking of the cookies. I think all the other bad stuff I ate already. So Monday should be ok. I don't want to put anymore weight back on.

Steakhouse sounds yummy!

Posted by: Jodi

14 cookies LOL!

I hear ya on the weight. I had this brilliant idea after I competed to bulk up to add more muscle and it's been hell trying to take it off

I know I needed to bulk but the gaining weight really screwed with me psychologically. I'm back down to my normal bodyweight which is good but it felt like it took forever to take that 10lbs off. I think I'll need to drop another 10-15 to compete and once I do I am only putting a few pounds back on and then maintain!

Posted by: Jodi

I'm going to buy a new car tonight or next week sometime. I think this is what I'm going to get.

A Chrysler 300, same color too

Posted by: JLB001

Ohhhhhhhhhh I LOVE that car!! Nice choice there!

Posted by: tucker01

Nice Ride..... You gettin' the Hemi Engine

Posted by: Jodi

I haven't got it yet but I'm leaving shortly to go see if I can get out of this lease so I can buy the 300.

I don't know if I'll be gettin the Hemi engine, it will depend on cost.

Merry early Christmas to Jodi. Heh, nice gift to yourself.

Posted by: Jodi

I am so in love with this car. It's so sleek and it rides sooooo nice

Posted by: PreMier

Nice car! looks like a bentley.

Posted by: aggies1ut

Watch out for parking it in the street. You don't want punks breaking into it, like they did with your truck.

Posted by: Jodi

I wasn't parked in the street, I was in my driveway

They only wanted my mp3 player but I'm not getting another one.

Posted by: aggies1ut

In your own driveway, sheesh.

Posted by: Jodi

Well, I didn't buy the 300. I bought something better

Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition - Fully loaded

and it's blue

Posted by: aggies1ut

Uhoh. My dad had a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I don't know about nowadays, but they used to be notorious for breaking down. You probably won't have any probs though.

Posted by: Jodi

I've had many Jeeps and I've never had an issue. I just traded a Jeep in as a matter of fact. I've always loved them. When I took the 300 for a GOOD test drive it didn't handle as well as I hoped and the Jeep felt oh so much better. This is what it looks like. The interior on mine is a little different but not by much. I didn't get the GPS.

Posted by: aggies1ut

Nice

Posted by: PreMier

Doesnt the Grand have AWD? Thats probably why it handled better. And DAMN, thats nice!

Thanks NG

Today's meals were good. I did have a huge burrito though at Taco Del Mar but it was mostly healthy. It was a ww tortilla with black beans, rice

, chicken, pico de gallo, little bit of cheese and salsa.

It was damn good! No guac or sour cream.

I think I have forgotten what healthy is. I'm giving that up until after Turkey Day.

hehe...sounds like us. I did good, only took a spoon of each thing Mom cooked. Brought back enough for us to have dinner on when we got back to Houston. Now I feel like a porker.

No more bad foods, only our normal diet stuff is left.

Posted by: carbchick

was the dessert pumpkin pie? [

ant, slather:] OMG how do you guys cope with having christmas so soon after thanksgiving?
only 28 cardio days until christmas

Posted by: JLB001

Cardio?? NOT!!!

LOL....I'll do that beginning of Jan. when all the New Year Resolution peeps hit the gym for two months then die out.

Posted by: Jodi

Mmmmm.......Pumpkin Pie, Blueberry Pie, Apple Pie, Choc. Torte, Pecan Bars and Ice cream.

I miss my family already. I'm home.

Hey Jodi!

I'm glad you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family

I'm getting sooo excited to go home and see my family soon too, less than two weeks

I love the jeep!!

Posted by: Jodi

Thanks Jenny. That's great you are going home for Christmas. I'm sure you will have a great time.

Posted by: Jodi

I don't know if I'll be working out again today. I got a cold from one of my nieces and I'm so achy. My throat hurts and I can't stop sneezing and sniffling. It's been 1.5 weeks since I worked out

Posted by: Robboe

Getting in plenty vit C?

If it's a headcold, i'd still train. If it feels like it's all over your body and you feel weak as piss and what not, i'd probably just stay off. Illness is a bitch.

Although no doubt i've gone training anyway when i've been like that. I'm stubborn in that way.

I'm not sure if its a head cold or not quite yet. My neck is killing me and I starting alot of coughing up nasty shit today. I just started taking something for it yesterday so hopefully in a day or 2 I'll fell better.

I love it when you talk dirty.

Posted by: Jodi

Oh yeah, and I look read sexy right now too.

Posted by: Jodi

I am skipping the gym today so hopefullly I feel better tomorrow.

I am also starting my cut tomorrow. I'm going with Carb Cycling as usual. I will be having 10 Fish Oil caps per day, 1 tsp. Flax Oil, as well at 30G of Protein per meal. If I only have 5 meals then it will be 35G of Protein per meal. My cycle will be H/N/L/N. Carbs will vary depending upon the day.

Weights 5x per week and Cardio 4x per week - 5-10 miles running in prep for the marathon. I will be cheating on Christmas and New Years then it will be 11 weeks clean before the competition.

BTW - I have successfully convinced my sister to do the Half Marathon

so this will be much easier.

Talk of literature makes me horny.

Anyway, what's this dealio of you starting the cut so soon? Was it not just yesterday we discussed why you weren't gonna bother starting before xmas?

Posted by: Jodi

LOL, I meant REAL SEXY

Well, I'm cutting back cals but I'm not really on a full blown cut. I'm keeping wheat and dairy and the occassional alcoholic beverage of choice.

It won't be til after Xmas that I go for it but I need to be ready and with XMas and New Years cheats I fear that 11 weeks clean won't be enough. So, if I start now and drop a couple lbs I'll be in better shape for the real cut and will be ready come March.

So your suppos to have 10 fish oil caps and 1 tsp. of flax? ...I've been having 20 fishies and nothing else for additional fat except of cannoil oil (Just went out yesterday for groceries and got some olive oil , so it'll be olive oil for now on

). This is great, that means I can have egg whites everyday

Posted by: Jodi

No you don't have to have the Flax oil. Fish oil is best but I'm using the Flax for other things such as hair, nails and skin too.

Posted by: Tom_B

ok then thanks Jodi ....crap

I thought I was gonna get my egg whites eveyday again

O well.
Well While I'm here I might as well ask another question thats been bothering me (sorry bet I'm annoying

) , I'm about to go into surgery tomorrow for a hemroid , so I don't know what my trainings gonna to be like but my High Carb day is on thurs. Not sure if I'll be up to doing my back workout on that day but should I go ahead and still have the high carb day even if I can't exercise? I was thinking I shouldn't if I can't exercise, espically if I'm feeling nauseus I won't be up to it

, but if I have to I'll try my best

. Also one more question (last one promise) , tomorrow I'm not allowed to eat anything for breakfast , can't eat till after the surgery and even then it's suppos to be shakes for the first half of the day..but anyways , since I can't eat breakfast should I still do my Pilates in the morning? I'm also getting blood wrok done in the morning to so I was wondering also if I did the Pilates and overworked myslef or something it might botch my blood results?

Posted by: Jodi

Why can't you eat egg whites?

Make it a low carb day.

You can do Pilates if you choose to. I personally can't exercise without food so I wouldn't bother.

Posted by: BritChick

Hi Jodi, just catching up on your journal and popping by to say hello.

You've been taking 20 fish oil caps a day and tomorrow you're due surgery?

How long have you been dosing that for?

Posted by: Jodi

Ummmm.....yeah, good point TCD. If I recall correctly fish oil inhibits coagulation. You should have stopped fish oil over a week ago.

Tom - didn't you tell your doctor what supps you were on?

Posted by: sara

Jodi, you feeling any better today?

Well I like to cook my egg whites in cannoil oil (hopefully olive oil will do it up the same) , and since I'm not alloweda dditional fats I tried cookie it using fat free Pam cooking spray ...

it just wasn't the same , didn't even look the same! .. But I do have them on My No Carb Days though , when I need that extra bit of fat.

Okay then. I feel up to working out tomorrow , I actually feel completely normal , not sore or anything , just a littl wbit of blood but thats it. The doctors were surprised I'm not sore and that when I woke up, I was actually awake and having conversations

. But I'm just gonna take the next 4-5 days off just on the safe side , I think it would be good just for a little rest, espically since I haven't given myself I rest now for about 5 months. So I should follow my same diet , just change the High Carb days to Low carbs days, and still keep my no carbs days in there?

Well I did the Pilates since there really just a stretch , not a big workout.. , but I know what ya mean about not working out on an empty stomach , I tried doing Cardio once on an empty stomach , but it just felt like something was missing adn that I didn't get as good of a workout as what I was use to.

Tom - didn't you tell your doctor what supps you were on?

Well on my first doctors appointment I told him I was taking a Multi Vitamin/Mineral and some Calcium Cirtrate , I hadn't started to take the fish oil yet and it sliped my mind..
But yesterday when I had to go in for an examination and stuff i told the nurse I was taking the Multi Vitamin/Mineral , Calcium Citrate and fish oil. All she said was not to take any of these on the day of the surgery

...but the surgery went great , should I still be taking my fish oil?

Posted by: Jodi

I'd give it a week before you take fish oil again. Just keep your diet Low and no carb then when you lift again throw in a high carb day.

Posted by: PreMier

Have you got your J**p muddy yet?

ok , so just substitute the fish oil with some olive oil? (I'm wanting some egg whites

)
Thanks for all the help Jodi

Posted by: Jodi

That would be too much olive oil IMO. Get some flax but don't cook with it.

Posted by: Tom_B

You still lift on No Carb days?

I thought that you had to work it around so that either High/Low days fell on your lifting days. But if you don't that work out better for me

I think I'll steal your idea of High/No/Low/High

Posted by: Jodi

Remember though that I'm not cutting just cause I want to lose a few pounds, I'm prepping for competition and a competition diet doesn't equate healthy diet. You shouldn't follow what I'm doing.

Posted by: Jodi

High carb day tomorrow!

Meal 1:
35G Protein
5 Fish

Meal 2:

1/4 C. FF Cheddar
Green Beans

1 tsp. Flax

Meal 5
35G Protein
1 oz. Nuts

Workout: Chest
Cardio: 5 Mile run

Notes: I'm very foggy and brain dead today. I know its the lack of carbs and calories so I'm ready for tomorrow! I'm really contemplating the Superdrol. I was talking to Chris today and she told me that the NPC Natural competition here in March there is no issues using PH's so long as it's legal because they do test both urine and polygraph for everyone. Sierra Vista is too far away anyway for that other comp and they don't even allow fatburners with that federation

. So I could use it now and then if and when it becomes banned I will give it away. I refuse to use anything illegal due to my own personal preference but I really want to try a PH before it's banned and then I won't be able to. Besides, I'm only going to do 1 3-4 week cycle so it will still be before the ban anyway.

Posted by: JLB001

MMM....You get rice tomorrow.

: )

Posted by: sara

Beef Jerky? What kind flavor? Where did you get it from?

and oatmeal and ww pasta.......oh and I might get a burrito too

Sara, someone from work had it. I don't know.

Posted by: Rocco32

Go with a PH cycle! You'll really kick ass then Jodi

A burrito huh?!? Can I have a burrito?

Posted by: Jodi

Sure if you have it like mine is going to be. WW Tortilla, brown rice, shredded chix, black beans an salsa

I get it at Taco Del Mar

I'm still debating. Tomorrow is the only day to purchase Superdrol so I'm going to buy it anyway. Then I'll probably stare at the bottle for a few weeks before I make a decision

I just get myself all worked up then I'm too chicken shit to try it.

Posted by: Rocco32

Oh, I better not eat a burrito. It's all or nothing with me. I've learned there is not inbetween when it comes to eating

Just do it Jodi. Think of it as an exciting adventure!!!

Posted by: Rocco32

Have you finished the Dark Tower series yet?

Posted by: Jodi

An adventure? I don't want to consider using superdrol and an adventure LOL!

I haven't even bought the new DT books yet

Posted by: JLB001

Jodi...I've used the SAN T100 before. Loved the stuff! Made some nice gains.

Posted by: Jodi

Jodie, how long did you use the T100?

I have to buy the Superdrol today while it's on pre-sale because they might not make anymore than today's orders.

Posted by: Jodi

Well, I did it. I ordered the Superdrol.

I've used it twice before. I'd do two weeks on/two off. Cycled it. Made me feel like I had a sorethroat, but that was about all as far as sides. Just be sure to use it far enough out, because you might hold a lil water with it.

Posted by: Jodi

Yeah, that was kind of my plan. 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, thanks. Supposedly the Superdrol is a mild diuretic and people drop water then they first start so that will be kind of nice to not worry so much about the water retention.
