WELL IT"S NOT> THIS IS SERIOUS> I WANT TO WIN THE MUSCLEMANIA LIGHTEWEIGHT DIVISION And if I don't get some f****'n sleep soon I will have gone completely mental. OK< well more mental. Goodnight kids!

Dude its 4:00 am and I am not even ready for bed. Drink more caffeine and beer!


Posted by: w8lifter

OMG!!! Girl...do you not rest? I can't believe you've started another journal already You're nuts, lol!!!

Did you have fun yesterday.....CLP brought home a motherload of goodies....a freaken shopping bag full of cut-up protein bar samples...hilarious!

What did you eat on the way home? ...I had a wendy's burger...OMG, I haven't had fast food in forever, and an ice cream thingy from there...I also got a baked potato, but I couldn't eat it....I felt like a kid eating my ice cream though

I hope those pics turn out of us and Eva! She's pretty fun eh? This was an awesome show cause I finally had time to hang out and get to know some of the other girls that I've competed w/ before, it was great!


Posted by: w8lifter

Oh...and I just wanted to say...you looked awesome this show.....not binging & drinking right before a show works for you ....keep that up CLP, and you'll kick ass at MM!


Posted by: CLPgold

Thanks w8 I'm definitely going to be much more disciplined this time around with my binging at least. I find if I don't try to cut back on drinking I don't stress and binge on junk food or just overeat in general. Beer does my body good. If I can have my beer I can stay on track.

Sleep: 4 1/2hr. What's new? Not to worry I'm going back to bed after this. I'm still super full from eating not to many hours ago. I decided I should start off with breakfast at the usual time though.

8:30am
2ezone energy bars
1very large orange
5cp water
I feel so full again I feel yucky!

11:00am
Today is turning out to be a protein bar day LOL
2ezone energy bars - or equivalent

12:00pm
1bar

1:00pm
1ezone bar
1Labrada bar - Texas Pecan Pie to be exact LOL

How many calories, carbs and fat have I ingested now? We'll find out at the end of the day when Fitday tallies it all up.

Oh and I'm drinking my beers now. Got a 6pack of the tall 473ml cans o'blue light and one HUGE 950ml of Blue.

And I've been drinking a tonne of water!!!


Posted by: CLPgold

When I wake up again I'm gonna head into Walmart and get my pics developed

I'm also going to start keeping track of my food at Fitday. It's just very tough sometimes cuz I eat such a variety when I'm training for lean mass. And it's hard to customize my foods sometimes too cuz I often cook mass quanitites of such things as muffins and it's hard to break down.


Posted by: CLPgold

Got the pics back!!! I really like most of them. Except my face looks weird in some. Like my nose looks huge and my face is pale. Oh well. Considering I had a makeshift studio again with the eldest daughter doing the shoot LOL, they're pretty good

I'm gonna post up a mini pic gallery in the pic gallery area

My training partner has already called and we've booked our next week. Yeah!!! I told him I'm leaving all the training in his hands so I can concentrate on the nutrition end of things. I'm soooooo excited about this. I want to go in the Musclemania at a super solid, super ripped 115lb. I'd rather stay a little smaller for the summer too. Got some hotties to work on!

Picked up a beautiful prime rib at the store today, to compliment the T-Bone I picked up at the 24hr. IGA last night LOL. I"M HAVING ME SOME KICK ASS STEAK TONIGHT!!!. They're already marinating in olive oil, Kraft garlic BBQ sauce, onions and Montreal Steak Spice. YUMMI! Got my cottage cheese and some more butter today. Gonna clarify my butter at least so it's not too unhealthy.

Chores to finish:
Put my duvet cover on
Make cream o veggie soup - will post recipe
Make my salad and the dressing
Post on this forum LOL

....can't w8!


Posted by: CLPgold

I'm still scannin LOL. I've got the sports wear ones developed with you and Eva, but I haven't finished off the other roll with the evening wear. I really want to see those. I guess I should maybe take some good pics of my wittle ones when they're dressed up a bit.

I've decided I"m also going to keep track of my alcohol/calorie intake. Right now for the day I'm almost at 1900cals and it's only 3:30pm. Hehe. That's OK. I scored myself a Tshirt from just about every supplement booth so as I can hide my big ol self whilst I work this overeating off over the next few days. I look at the bright side, at least I'll have lots of fuel for whatever training tactics my training parter (Wil whom we shall refer to as Wil from now on instead of 'the training partner) throws my way.

BTW, Wil was at the show but he missed me on stage. They saw me around 2:00pm out in the crowd with Eva, and thought I was busy so they didn't come over and chat. Duh> Big poophead that he is.


Posted by: realdeal

You looked great on stage, i hope to see you in July for the Muscle Mania!!

until then, train hard, and diet even harder!!!


Posted by: CLPgold

Thankyou RD

Well I ate so much I couldn't keep track today. Let's just assume I ingested over 5,000cals including my beer LMAO> Oh I'm baaaaadddd.......

I will list the foods I ate, just not quantities or times:

About 6 more energy bars - give or take since I was munching on all the cut up samples.
baked potato
1%cottage cheese
green onions
clarified butter
carrots
sea salt
BBQ sauce
Montreal Steak Spice
onions
garlic
tomatoes
artichoke
T-bone steak
prime rib
celery
banana
beer
water
homemade hamburger patty- lean ground beef, onions, garlic, sweet n' sour BBQ sauce, Montreal Chicken and Rib Spice
grapes
pop ugh but it tasted good
I think that's it. Oh gosh my stomach looks like I'm 5months preggo right now. I'm trying with all my might to suck in and it hurts. I don't know how I'm going to sleep right now

I still haven't gotten into my binge stash though. With the amount of good food I'm eating I could care less!

OK well this is Day 1 towards Musclemania. So we'll just consider my fueling up day to get ready for the long haul shall we??? Tomorrow I will be good I promise!

It's almost 10:00pm. If I can fall alseep in the next 1/2hr. I'll get about 7hr. sleep tonight. Not too bad.


Posted by: CLPgold

Gonna see Super Hottie #1 tomorrow. And probably Super Hottie #2 (whom I'm head over heels for and have been for quite some time - long story I just avoid that one ). Anyways, I hope SH#1 is doing well. I've been kind of worrying about him. I worried about him on the way home last night too. Hoping he wasn't driving too fast or being silly about anything.


Posted by: CLPgold

OK, I'm at work and 2 clients have canceled today already so I'm gonna post my day so far.

Sleep: 6 1/2hr -7 somewhere thereabouts
Feeling very bloated today from all that food. But it was good healthy nutritious food.

8:00am
2Interactive energy bars
water but didn't count how much
forgot to take my vitamins, flax etc.

11:30am
2ezone bars hehe

1:30pm
10grapes

4:00pm
1ezone bar

6:00pm
20grapes

7:00pm
1banana

8:30pm
5oz T-bone w/olive oil, BBQ sauce, sea salt and Montreal Spice
4oz prime rib
1cp baked potato
1/2cp 1%cottage cheese
2 1/2tbsp. clarified butter
1tbsp.green onions
1/4cp. steamed carrots
5grapes
4tsp.apple cider vinegar, 1iron, 1cal/mag, 1multi, 1vitE, 1vitC, 1CoQ10, 1/2tsp.creatine

Total cals: 2,145
Fats: 109gm 978cals 47%
Carbs: 168gm 640cals 31%
Protein: 118gm 473cals 23%

Cals are now at 2268 I think I'm done for the day. I feel HUGE

K just had 2more cps of grapes. Oh and I forgot about the 1/2cp taste testing of homemade cream 0'veggie soup I made. It's probably only about 35cals in total. No fat. Gotta figure out the stats on fitday but there is so much stuff in this soup:
carrots
yams
potatoes
celery
onions
garlic
brocoli
cauliflower
rutabaga
sea salt
water
parsley
oregano
tarragon
basil
rosemary
Montreal Chicken and Rib Spice

I will definitely be adjusting my diet accordingly. I thought for sure I'd ingested way more calories and I even erred on the side of bad when logging it in Fitday just so I wouldn't cheat myself at all.

Haven't kept track of water today. I'll start tomorrow. I'm still feeling quite puffy and retentive right now.

I have to finish off the rest of my bars cuz they're like chocolate bars to me. If they're around I'll keep eating them. So my goal today is to finish off the rest of them. They're almost all gone anyways LMAO. FYI I posted this earlier, the bars are now all gone The kids helped

Posted by: nikegurl

hey - wanted to drop in and tell you how great you looked. your daughter did a great job taking pics!

wow - if you can't wait to go back to lifting heavy those weights must not be heavy for you. i'm feeling really weak seeing that!

i'm 5'9" and have JUST made it up to 35 lb dumbells for presses and you're using them for flyes! wow. i'm impressed!

congrats on everything. are you taking a break from the dieting before you fully start muscle mania prep?


Posted by: CLPgold

Hey NG. I'm definitely upping my cals and not eating as super strict. I want to gain some more lean mass over the next 6 weeks so I'll be eating more carbs (fruits, veggies mostly). I'm not a huge pasta or bread eater, but make sure I get my grains in the form of oatmeal, cream o'wheat, kamut and spelt kernels, spelt cereal (just like cream o'wheat), white, wild, brown and red rice, red river cereal, my homemade muffins. I bake using a lot of different varieties of flours and whole grains. OK well I do eat muffins and breads but only what I make at home. I also use a lot of almonds and sunflower seeds in my baking. And I'm even gonna let myself indulge in more natural peanut butter. Just have to use self control to only have 1-2tbsp and not 1cp.

I'm also going back to my cottage cheese and yogourt! Yummi. And just took my fist 1/2tsp. of creatine tonight. Took at least 2 1/2months off of it I think. Hmmm what else. I'll be eating more pork chops, beef and ham again too.


Posted by: CLPgold

Hmmm. I ingested 2145cals so far. According to my activities chart, lifestyle and bmr combined I've burned 3150 today. The only reason my stomach is still distended out then must be all damn bloating > let's be honest it's f*****g GAS!!! Eating all those bars I think did it.

CLP....I never use fitday to keep track of cals burned/activities....I don't think it uses the right numbers for that....I just use it for logging my intake.


Posted by: CLPgold

What's a good program to use? I kinda thought I'd had way more cals than that yesterday. Then again I wasn't really eating any crap. A cyclist I train has awesome software for it though. I should probably get it off him tomorrow and download it. It's excellent. He showed it to me on his palm pad. This guy is extremely particular with his diet, even way more than me. I have never seen such massive, super shredded legs in my life!!! No BB I've ever seen even comes close. And this guy stays that way year round! You can see each quad muscle, each hamstring muscle, and even little muscles in the calves all perfectly seperated. And his legs are huge too. YUMMI.

Alright no more food for me tonight...except the bag of roasted peanuts in the shell that I AM FINISHING OFF TONIGHT!!!

7:30pm
5oz roast pork - I am such a carnivore - I just made it so I had to taste test
1tbsp.veggie soup - I was feeding huggie bear and had to keep licking the bottom of the spoon so it didn't all drip
2 bananas - they were gonna go bad so I salvaged what I could
Working on the peanuts now. Might as well finish em off now or I'll just keep getting tempted. I'll probably have consumed
1 - 1 1/2cp max after all the shells and the yucky ones I've spit out
I am justifying everything I put in my mouth...
Water, lots just haven't kept track


Posted by: w8lifter

Well fitday is good and easy, but I also have a a food count book that I check it against because I think it's more accurate and I always check what they've got against whatever is written on the package or whatever...if it differs significantly, I make sure to add it as a custom food and go by that.

Posted by: dvlmn666

wow, you have been geting plenty of sleep. Whatcha resting up for? j/k

looks like yoru working really hard, good luck in your next comp.


Posted by: CLPgold

LOL thankx dv. Well I'm resting up so I can...GROW!!! LMAO. I want to get bigger, and have more intense workouts ( all kinds of workouts hehe)

I'm doing the Musclemania on July 20th in Toronto. I've never gone into a comp yet thinking I was going to win. I just wanted to be there, gain experience and meet people. This one is mine!!! I am going to be so ready. I'm so pumped and focused right now. I just need to get back on track with the diet, which will happen tomorrow since it's 11 weeks out then. I am mentally prepared. My workouts are getting pretty intense again. I've been doing some serious assessing and critiqueing of my physique and making some training changes and adding in exercises for lagging parts.


Posted by: CLPgold

Glutes - I trained glutes today instead of bi's and tri's cuz Wil was sick and wanted to do it tomorrow. I was going to make Saturday my glute day since we won't be training on that day regularly. Wil isn't into glute training. He's a guy, go figure. He's got nice glutes anyways.

We're hitting the GoodLife Gold's tomorrow instead too. YUMMI>

Saw SH#1 today again. I haven't even spoken to him all week. I just avoid him. What do I say? OMG were you ever a f****** loser at the comp? WELL??? I'm just so uninterested in him now...

Saw SH#2 (the absolutely gorgeous body builder that I hooked up with a couple months ago but then it just kinda stopped after a week ) I am still head over heels for him. He kept walking by me today (more than usual, like right by me and it's a huge gym), but I just completley ignored him too. If he wants me again he's gonna have to be a little more aggressive, I don't want to make any assumptions and mess it up. I'm worried though cuz I know I could get way too attached to that boy. I already kinda am and I hardly know him. I'm just a mess over the whole situation. So it's time for a new infatuation.

Anyways, back to my glutes LMAO

Posted by: Nike_Girl

Hey CLP! I'm glad to see you're so pumped about your comp! I really think you could win it! You looked so amazing in the pics from last comp! Trained my glutes + legs yesterday too.. Am so freaking' sore right now.. and it will only get worse during today.. That's what we all love about fitness, isn't it!? Have a great weekend!!


Posted by: CLPgold

Thanks NG. I would love to feel sore! I get 'tight' and fatigued, but never that same 'don't touch me or I'll have to gouge your eyes out with my fingernails' feeling anymore. On extremely rare occasions I get that sore. I need to cross train more. Hehe especially since I kinda have a new infatuation and he's a kickboxer. He's got his own studio. I've met him a few times before and taken a couple of his classes. Hmmm, ulterior motives that will still get me in shape, let me eyeball super hotties, and have fun!!!


Posted by: Nike_Girl

I stopped getting sore some time ago too.. Then I changed my routine completely.. I used to do heavy, low rep, but different exercises every time.. Now I do high rep, low weight or supersets.. Yesterday I did 3 sets of 50 on the leg press with 100 pounds.. Lunges 50 reps per leg for 3 sets and stuff like that.. that did it for me..


Posted by: CLPgold

I have a guy mentality when it comes to things. Especially weight training. I get psychologically scarred when I have to drop my weights. I love to push it heavy w/low reps. I've just started investigating Weight Lifting (Clean and Jerk, and Snatch) and Powerlifting (Bench Press, Squats and Deadlifts). I've been educating myself on the technique and benefits. It's something I think I will start incorporating into my workouts over time to increase strength and hopefully size. I am going to start some serious cycling and jogging outdoors too. A client of mine is a cyclist ( with the most cut, killer legs) and manufactures his own line of bikes, and he is going to custom make me my own to fit my size perfectly. He is awesome! I need to expand Plus I'll meet more people hehe. I love meeting people, especially hot guyz.

Hehe, I heard that most cyclists are gay...just hearsay I guess. But then if you think about it, they spend an awful lot of time on that seat and that can cause damage to that area, plus the tight pants, LOL!

CLP hi!


Posted by: CLPgold

LMAO. Thankfully 'my' cyclist is 'straight' all the way. He is 35, divorced and rich!!! He is also very handsome, 6'4" super tall, and super shredded with unbelievably developed legs @ 192lb. He is awesome. I sure wish he would hurry up and ask me out on a date! I like the guy. He rocks!

CLP hi!
Eh LINA!!!!
Just one second there,GIRRRRRL!!!
Just to clarify this FALSE RUMOUR you are starting...
I'm a cyclist and I'm far from being GAY...
As for the seat,yes if you don't get the right seat,
you will damage the guy!!!
BUTT,I spent good money on my seat...
As for the tight cycling shorts,they do have a purpose!!!
A- Keeps da boyz constraint(if you know what I mean)specially when ridding a rough trail
B-Keeps the thigh's muscles warm and tight!!!
C-Then,it keeps da Betties looking

CPLGold...
What kind of bike will you get?
Road,Hybrid or MTB???
What is the name of the bike manufacture of your friend/client ???
I know that if you choose MTB,there is a great trail around the lake...
I've heard many good things about that trail!!!

Musclemaina?!?!?!?! WOW!!!!!! Big Show!

What did you have to win to qualify?

I wish you the best!

Mick


Posted by: CLPgold

It would be a road bike I guess. Not an MTB. 'Attila' and yes he's Hungarian so he is Attila the Hun LOL, goes under the name Pegasus. He just started about a year ago I think. On top of his normal day job. He sold about 8-9 last year anywhere from $2,000-$4,000 a bike. He's got a TIG welder and all that fun stuff set up in his garage.

Mick, you don't have to qualify in another show to be able to do the Musclemania. Just go in with excellent muscle tone and super shredded - naturally of course!

OK for yesterday here is my nutrition breakdown.

Total Cals: 2990

2033 Total Cals. Hmmm big difference.

Actually, I don't remember going to bed last night LMAO. I did get up at 7:50am to let the dogs out. Then I cleaned the kitchen and living room and LAST BUT NEVER LEAST< > I CRACKED MY 1ST BEER OF THE DAY AT 8:30am. Great way to start the day. Am I happy, oh yeah!!!

Haven't eaten anything yet. Who needs food right now? I've got beer to sustain me through the day. I will have to do a liqour run in a bit. Hopefully I don't end up having to go 'dry' for too long before The Beer Store open. I'm working on a 950ml can right now though so hopefully I can pace myself. I already finished half of one that was left from last night.

question though. what's this for: apple cider vinegar Just curious sounds kinda nasty tasting.

and the pork chops sounds so good.


Posted by: CLPgold

Ah dv it was a great workout. Back day tomorrow. Can't wait.

Apple Cider Vinegar is hard to swallow LOL, but I'm used to it. It is good for digestion, it slows insulin response and it cleans toxins and heavy metals out of the body. It has many useful benefits actually, unfortunatley I can't remember them all.

Total cals for the day: About 1,708cals. Add another 25cals for herbs and spices used. I'm really investigating every little calorie these days and trying to be honest in my assessment.

Macro breakdown for the day including all the gum I chew throughout the day.

Total Cals: 1920

Fats: 61gm 27%
Protein: 164gm 33%
Carbs: 237gm 40%

I really don't know how accurate all of this is, but it's an estimate and helps to keep me on track a little better.

K kids I'm off to bed early again tonight. Hoping to get 8-9hrs tonight . My flu or whatever bug I've got is almost gone. I'm pretty tired still.

My parents are coming to visit me this weekend. That means my whole weekend of meals will be eaten out. Both of my parents are very health conscious and have to eat at decent restaurants. So I think I'll hit them up for The Keg and that wonderful Chinese buffe restaurant I'm totally in love with!!! I will definitely be kinda bad, have a few beers, have a Billy Miner Pie of course at the Keg, and go wild at the Mandarin. But at least I'll get in good stuff too like steak, baked potatoes, steamed veggies, rice, seafood .... Oh I can't wait!

Help CLP, glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. Flu's suck!

Have a good time with your parents, and eating out of course. Hmm, Chinese food! I have to drive 50 minutes to get to the closest Chinese place, but its worth it.

Eggs


Posted by: CLPgold

Thankx eggs! I didnt' suffer too much with this flu. It's minor. I'm still tired though so gonna take hopefully 1 1/2hr nap before work again. I keep trying to get these cat naps in, but I never fall asleep. Oh well, it's nice to relax, but now I've got housework piling up.

What!? No Chinese restaurants around Italy!? Or are you in the country/rural area? The bestest place in the whole world to go for Asian food is Vancouver! They have the best Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Thai restaurants around. YUMMI!

Posted by: dvlmn666

you had time to cook at midnight? cool. only thing I'm motivated to cook taht late is to throw a protein shake in the blender.


Posted by: nikegurl

hi clp. wow - that's quite a leg workout! when you do lunges on a smith machine is it sort of like a half squat half lunge? like you just go up and down in the lunge position right? no step forward except to get in postition to start the set. i'm not explaining that too well. i mean you have the one leg out and one behind and then just up and down 'til you finish your reps and switch legs?

is there anything special about the apple cider vinegar or are all vinegars created equal? i usually use balsalmic but if there's a reason to go with apple cider - i'll switch!

thanks. have a great day!


Posted by: CLPgold

You are correct ng! about the lunges.

I am not sure about all the benefits of balsamic vinegar. The benefits of all vinegars in general is they slow down insulin response, lowering GI.

Apple cider in particular is a good digestive aid and cleanser.

My legs are getting sorer as the day wears on. LMAO> To think it took 1hr and 45min. to do 4leg exercises!!! Well worth it!!!

LOL dv. It was already premade in the fridge. But I've definitely cooked that late before.


Posted by: nikegurl

thanks CLP! better start adding the vinegar in to the diet. i have balsalmic but haven't used it lately. good stuff but pretty strong flavor. i'll go with apple cider instead i think.

wow - you really don't play around when you train legs! awesome.

Did 40min. moderate to high intensity on the Stepmill.

OK here is my total breakdown for the day. OH!!!

Total Cals: 3262
Fats: 98gm 26%
Carbs: 384gm 38%
Protein: 308gm 36%

That protein might take awhile to digest

Poop. That means I'm gonna probably sneak back in tomorrow night to do maybe another hour of cardio on top of the 45min. planned tomorrow morning. Then I'll do 1hr. on Sat. and 1hr. on Sun. Cuz I'm gonna be eating all weekend too. Then I must do a minimum 30min. every morning on an empty stomach to get me back on track. And probably throw in a few more sessions throughout the days if I don't behave. I can't fit into any of my clothes right now. At first it was kinda funny, that's worn off now. I'm laughing about it no longer.

I feel like this is one of those moments for a 'Deep Thought' by Jack Handy. LMFAO!!! Remember those from Saturday Night Live. FUQin hilarious.

I know w8, it's my own damn fault. I think it's the excessive consumption of all those protein bars loaded with sugar, corn syrup solids, partially and fully hydrogenated fats, and excessive sodium content. I ate so many of those damn things after the comp. Everyday I'm dropping about a 1lb again now though. I won't tell you what I went up too. OK, yes I will LMAO. I was a whopping 138lb on Monday. I'm back down to 131lb as of today. I was retaining so much fluid (I know better) it was quite uncomfortable. Especially during a workout I'd get a huge pump going on and the pressure would hurt I'd be so pumped.


I'll be back down to 120-124lb by next Friday. Then maintain that til Musclemania. Just need some self control around those protein bars. I can avoid all junk foods now, it's just those. Oh yeah, and my parents are officially here as of 10:00am tomorrow. We're going shopping, then taking the kids bowling - there's a DQ in the bowling alley, then were headed out to the Chinese buffet.....

Posted by: CLPgold

Oh boy kids. My yesterday was ugly. To top it all off my parents came back this morning with a box full of Timbits and cinammon twists. I was soooooo good. Had to do a huge calorie deficit today, plus the beer I've been drinking. Hehe. And I did not go to the gym. Kinda bummed about it, but the gym is getting seasonaly dead right now and it's just not the same caliber of hotties to eyeball.

Today was pretty good:

Sleep: Almost 7hr. Had a nasty panic attack last night from 12:00am-2:30am. I'm attributing it to the caffeine, but usually caffeine affects me the day after. Could also be all the refined sugars, dyes and preservatives. Anyways, it was my own little living hell as a reminder not to eat crap!!!

12:00pm
1/2oz. fresh perch w/sunflower oil, dill, garlic, sea salt - taste testing
3cooked egg whites
1/2tsp.green onions
1/2 pink grapefruit
1tsp.flax oil, 2tbsp.apple cider vinegar, 1iron, 1multi, 1cal/mag, 1tsp.creatine

2:45pm
1/2 can tuna
1med.orange
1/2small apple

7:30pm
2oz. roast beef - sea salt, onions, garlic, soy sauce, Montreal Steak Spice, water
4oz. BBQ ribs - garlic BBQ sauce, sweet n'sour BBQ sauce, onions, garlic, Montreal Chicken n'Rib Spice
2tbsp.mashed potatoes - potatoes, water, sea salt
2oz. yam
1/2cp.steamed green beans
1/4cp.fresh tomatoes

Drank lots of beer today. I did eat really well all day. . Got lots of cardio to do over the next week though.

LMFAO my absolutely adorable beautiful baby boy is rockin himself to the Offspring's "Bad Habit". I know not the best song for my baby boy, LOL, but it is an awesome song. You want to get a killer w/o in? Listen to some of the old Offspring and Chili Peppers. Honorable mentions: Offspring; Bad Habit, Genocide, Why Don't You Get a Job, Self Esteem...
Chili Peppers: Anything off the 'Mother's Milk' album.

I drank lots of water today. But I'd rather I had more beers. Unfortunately I have to go to bed soon.

Got my week of w/o's planned with Wil now. Wil is going to get the biggest accolades when I win the Musclemania LMAO>


Posted by: Eggs

Hey CLP, I wrote up a little skit about this... but didnt want to mess your journal up with it so just posted it on mine.

Seriously though, hope that you dont get any more panic attacks and its cute bout the your boy. A little Offspring now and then wont hurt the lad! Today he's rocking, tomorrow he'll be tossing back the guiness with the guys, ahhh, they grow up so fast.

Just a thought, but what're you going to do if he doesnt like Labatt?

Weight: 128lb
Bodyfat: 8.5%

My abs are back and I'm looking lean again. Still weighing heavier than I'd like to right now though. Goal is to be 124lb by Saturday. That leaves 9lb. to drop, and 9 weeks til comp.


Posted by: lina

Hey chickie,
That didn't take long at all! 8.5%!!! Ya doin' great! How tall are you? Glad you're back on track! You're doing fantastico!


Posted by: CLPgold

Thanks Lina.

I am 5' 5 1/2"

That huge weight gain and bloat was so nasty. My total fault. I should have gradually introduced things back in, but noooooo

Oh well. Next time we'll see if I can practice some self control and intelligience. LOL


Posted by: nikegurl

you've got it now! wow. 8.5%!

i'm having a nightmare time trying to get mine measured.
are you getting it done with calipers? how many spots do they measure?


Posted by: CLPgold

At my work we've gotten new fitness assessmenet manuals and guidleines. I had 7 sites taken.

Even when I get bigger, I'm not normally gaining bodyfat. Just increasing glycogen stores and fluids, and of course that small increase in LBM after all those grueling hours put into it. I carry a lot of fluid around my upper thighs. It sucks. So the upper half of my legs never really show until the last couple days before and during comps.
That's just the way I am.

Totals Cals: 1416

Fats: 59gm 38%
Carbs: 118gm 27%
Protein: 125gm 35%

I may eat another protein/fat meal before bed. I am kinda hungry.

K new stats cuz I did eat.

Hey CLP, I need a hand in cutting.

I'm around 9 - 9 1/2% bf, but would like to get a bit leaner. What do you do pre-contest to help cut? I was bulking until a few months ago (was around 200lbs then) but have cut down to 175lbs. I need to get more water every day, and am currently doing an E/C/A stack (minus the Ephedrine until for another three weeks).

Your BF is looking good, should be able to knock off 9lbs in 9 weeks no problem. Looking forward to pre-comp pics... um, there are going to be pre-comp pics arent there?

Eggs


Posted by: CLPgold

Yes, there will be precontest progress pics. Not for about another 2 weeks though. Can't let you see what I look like right now LOL.

I'm still experimenting with cutting. But for the Apr.27th show, what I did seemed to work. Especially since I hadn't been the greatest with the diet.

Tuesday 4:00pm to Friday 4:00pm no carbs, upped the fats.

Thursday 10:00am started to cut back on water. Drank lots of wine Thursday night LOL

Posted by: CLPgold

Well today is Monday. I drank excessively all weekend. I drank enough I think I just might quit! We'll see....

Saturday morning I had some turkey and green beans. Then I got into the protein bars again. Didn't eat too many this time.

Sunday all I ate was 1 Power Bar. That's it! Everything else was in the liquid form ie. beer.

And today coming home, I was so hungry I had McDonald's for breakfast. I had an orange juice, 2breakfast burritos, 1hash brown, 2 oatmeal raisin cookied and a blue berry muffin.

Haven't had anything else yet today. I'm going to eat healthy though. I'm too tired and crappy feeling to even bother thinking about more junk food.


Posted by: w8lifter

McDonalds?!?!?!?!?


Posted by: CLPgold

LOl w8. McDonald's was the least of my worries!

I drank Friday from 3:00pm-3:00am

Saturday from 3:00pm-3:00am

And finally on Sunday I drank from 9:30am-3:00am. 17 1/2hr straight. I am still alive!!! I am definitely taking a rest from beer for quite some time. Didn't really feel all that bad considering. It's just the amount of money I spent, plus my physical health. Sheesh. I've got a comp. coming up and I want to stay fit and healthy for life. My problem is it's all or none. So best to have none now. I'm kind of looking forward to living sober for a long time. My workouts and health will be even better!


Posted by: CLPgold

Woo hoo. I have my first official photo shoot on Thursday night with Dan Galic. I just hope all my beer doesn't show up by then hehe. He said it's a test shoot so I don't have to be in super condition or anything, but I'd like to look good still. Everything seems alright right now. Just really going to watch the diet the next 3 days and do extra intense cardio.

Cool, mildly freaky... but still pretty cool.

Congrats on the shoot, I'm sure you'll look great. Dont get silly the night before though Cause then w8 will come over and there'll be a cat fight, wait a minute there, perhaps I spoke too quickly...

Diet looks good, and wkout too of course. Good luck at the shoot tomorrow!

Hey chickie,

How did your photoshoot go?




Posted by: CLPgold

Well, Thursday was a no go. I woke up with laringitis and Dan was leaving for Moab for 2 weeks and didn't want to get sick. So we're rescheduling in 2 weeks time. Which is great because my diet and training has been right on track and I'll be even leaner. I figure I'll be about 118-120lb in 2 weeks. I don't want to drop too fast now. I'm getting nervous. There's still over 7 weeks to go and I don't want to lose any muscle.

I've been super busy, and sick, so haven't been logging. But I have not missed any training and the diet has been awesome. Haven't even had a cheat day! Can't seem to shake the congestion and stuffed up nose.

And..............I still have not had any beer!!! Woo hoo! It's working for me.

I met a great guy named Rick Oliver. He owns Dymatize nutrition and has 2 websites. A co worker who knows me had hyped me up to him. So he came into work to meet me and actually started taking pictures of me right in the club! He was so nice. We're going to do a photo shoot 1week before Musclemania and then he's going to put me up on his site.

w8 let me know if I'm allowed to give out the URL for the site. I don't want to break any rules LOL

Still haven't been able to schedule a time with Scott Appleby between my work schedule and his super hectic shooting schedule.

Then, I'm supposed to be in Toronto on Friday to go for an interview with Max Models. They scouted me on Apr.27 at the comp. I was prepared to go, but then Saturday night I met a guy at the bar who is a film maker. He ran to his car and gave me a whole list of casting agencies. He also told me to skip Max Models cuz they eventually send their people to an agency called Converse. I'm not really interested in any acting though. I might go, I'm not sure yet. I really don't feel like going up there this Friday though so I'm going to see if I can reschedule. But now I also have a whole huge list of important people to check out thanks to buddy at the bar!

This is all just so blowing my mind and all happening so fast! I don't know where to start now. I do know that I want to keep my main focus on Musclemania for now. I've put too much time and effort to stop.

I'm so excited. I'm really, really, really happy with my physique right now. I should get some pics done LOL! Yeah.

I'm not going to log anything today again. I just don't want to haha. I will start tomorrow. I won't be logging in my weekends at all though. Only Mon-Fri.

OK, enough blabbing.

Posted by: CLPgold

Wow Wednesday already. I am sooooo tired.

Sleep: 5hr again!

11:30am
1 Lean Body Dble.Choc. Protein Bar

Um, that's it so far today. I have no appetite. I'm just exhausted. I need to catch up on my sleep.

I also think I'm going to take about 6 months off work. I have so many other things on the go right now. My goals and dreams are finally becoming reality and I don't want to pass anything up because of work. Plus my job, which I love, sucks the life out of me LOL. Ask anybody who works there!

Right now I need to focus on Musclemania, and all the photo shoots and hopefully potential work coming my way. Working full time, raising 4 kids, and training doesn't allow time for much else. Something has to go and my kids aren't 18 yet LMAO I am going to enjoy this summer and spend many long days at the beach and parks with my children finally before they are grown up!

OK I made myself some food cuz I do need to eat:
3:15pm
1 salad: romaine and green leaf lettuce, radicchio, bean sprouts, tomatoes, 1 1/2tbsp. raw sunflower seeds, 4oz.chicken, 2tbsp.Janapese dressing.

I'll have more time to hang out here too! LOL.

10:15pm
1salad: same as above except no sunflower seeds, 7oz.of chicken and 3tbsp.dressing


Posted by: Princess

I think you are doing the best thing for you, and for your children!!! Take it easy with them honey, and enjoy yourself!!
Your right, YOU HAVE A LOT going on!!!
I would take a break from your job too if I were you, and if you can financially..gooooo FOR IT!!

Hey, is that CLP?

She's hot!

You know CLP... when its good, you just cant get enough. Umm, sleep that is.

Well, sorry to hear the shoot didnt happen... glad to hear that it will in a few more weeks, and then more shoots on top of that! Coolness. Nice to hear that you have held off the beer a bit, definitely hard to lean up with Labatt flowing through your veins

Hmm, strawberry/banana muffins? You didnt send me the recipe for that one! Time to check the recipe section.


Posted by: CLPgold

Hi Eggie!!!

Yeah, not getting enough, not really any at all! Sleep that is LMFAO!

Not gonna drink again this weekend.

Had my stats done again. Weight is back up to 128.5lb and bodyfat is at 9.5%. I might have to compete in the heavyweights. I don't want to sacrifice any muscle this time. Hmmmm. Have to be very careful on this one. I do want to be 115lb ripped. Don't want to blow it. Got 7 weeks and 3 days left.

Ah, think positive eh? I can do it!


Posted by: Princess

You can do it CLP!!!
How tall are u by the way???

AND YEA!!! No beer this weekend too.. I know thats gonna be kinda hard...but you are doing really good with that!!
Keep it up!!


Posted by: CLPgold

I'm gone again for the weekend out of town, so I won't be logging Fri-Sun. Doing Bi's and Tri's tomorrow at a gym somewhere.

Saw SH#1 today. We're going for a jog tomorrow. Then I'm gonna hook up with him at his work Sunday night when I get back in town. Then dinner and a movie sometime next week before he leaves me!

Saw SH#2 too. Really could care less anymore. Just like to look at him.

Me and the hottie I met from Cleveland have been emailing eachother everyday. I'd love him to come up to Musclemania. He's going to try. If not I'm headed down there when I can find the time. I've got to see that boy again!

Anyways...today was shoulders.

Posted by: dvlmn666

CLP, you can do it. Just think positive and keep workin on it. You've done awesome so far.

congrats on all the photo shoots by the way.


Posted by: w8lifter

CLP...I forget, which one is the one from the show...#1 or #2


Posted by: CLPgold

SH#1 was at the show.

Thanks guys!!!

Went for a 40min.jog outside. It was awesome. I just couldn't stop. Then it started raining the last 15min. and it was great!!! It was warm still. I so didn't want to stop, but it was getting late, and I had to pee real bad LOL.


Posted by: CLPgold

Alright, alright I'm slacking with the logging. But not with anything else. Diet and training are going awesome. This is my last super heavy week. Yahoo!!! My body definitely needs some recovery right about now. I can't wait to drop my weights next week and change exercises! Oh the excitment!

I should hopefully have some pics done by next Friday. If not the Friday after for sure. I need to see my progress.

Saw Rick Oliver today working out. He's the one taking my pics the week before comp. These are his websites:

www.bicepboy.com

www.bicepgirlz.com

I have to recheck the links to make sure though. Yup that's them.

He's redoing the sites so it's just the front page for now.

So, I'll be retired soon LMAO. The word is out and I've talked to my supervisor. I'm hoping to be done NOW!!! But that's not happening. I still have 12 clients so I'm really hoping to finish off their training in 2 weeks. That would be nice, but realistically I'm probably there maybe into July still. I need a break so f*****g bad right now. Except for training. It's all about concentrating and focusing on my training and future. And of course being able to say YES to my children when they want my time. My manager is giving me a year free membership for the 2 years I've put in with the company. By then I may be back personal training again. It's all about getting free stuff right? I like free memberships and free daycare. They're my priorities.

Ah, a bluejay just landed on my roof. I can see it's tail and ass hanging over my roof from my computer window. I'm sure it's going to take a big poop so I'm going to stop looking now... LOL

I'm scrubbing down the fort today. That way I don't have to clean all weekend. And I have to account for all my clients sessions and payments. Wil wants me to come back and do his cycling class, but I probably won't make it. I'll go for an outdoor jog instead tonight. And a tan in the MONSTER BED. This tanning bed is huge. It could fit 2 people hehe.

K, well I must be on my cleaning venture. The fun.


Posted by: w8lifter

lmao...you're so funny girl

So what are ya gonna do if you're not personal training?


Posted by: CLPgold



AAGGHHHHH!!!!!!

What will I do if I'm not personal training? I'm going to have a life! I will be able to log stuff again LOL cuz it's a priority. I'll spend lots of time with my children. Actually take my poor dogs for a walk. Honestly, I haven't walked my doggies in at least 4-5months!!! Isn't that awful! I'll also do a lot of baking ( I have some recipes to perfect, working on some business), I'll finally plant my garden and get the weeds out of it. I'll have time to sit on my patio with my children and have a BBQ. Take my children to Canada's Wonderland, Lion Safari, the beach etc.

Very importantly I can focus on my training, sleep, nutrition and my mental and physical health. And whatever work comes my way from the photo shoots and other opportunities.

Right now I'm just a mess. Just exhausted all the time and very irritable. Living off 5hrs. of sleep a night for weeks and months on end is really taking it's toll on me lately.

I've still been very good with my training and diet. Haven't had any beer either.

I will get pics up soon. I need to find the time to get ready and take them...

Hey!
Been reading up on your goings on the past whiler back! Youare doing great!
Keep at it. Looks like you are moving some impressive #'s!

My friend's wife just got back to the weight she was before she became pregnant. I asked if she was thinking about putting on a little mass now. I told her about you and W8, thinking y'all have about the same bodytypes. You might be hearing from her.
Anyway, keep it up!


Posted by: CLPgold



Had a crappy sleep as usual. A neighbor's baby was up all night crying and the stupid, f*****g, lazy a$$ed woman wouldn't do a thing about it. I was ready to call the cops. The poor little thing cried for 2 hours straight. Another neighbor finally came out to her yard and screamed at her to take care of her child. An hour and a half later the poor thing was up again and the mother did nothing. HELLO!!! GOOD, DIAPER CHANGE, HUGS, LOVE

SOMETHING!!!!! Gee willickers! What an idiot! It happened once last week too. If it keeps up I'm definitely calling someone in to get that poor baby some better care. And get me some sleep.

Ate good yesterday and today so far. Didn't make it back into the gym for my workout yesterday so I missed a back workout.

I already trained chest and abs today. I'm hopefully going to squeeze in back and cardio tonight amongst a million other things I need to get done! It never ends!

Dropped the weights and switched exercises. It was such a good mental and physical break. Still did push ups w/ a 35lb plate on my back, but it seemed minor compared to our heavy workouts.

Still no time to really log or keep track of food and stuff. Just letting you know that it's all good. I'm happy with what the mirror is showing me. Now I just need to get some pics done so I can really tell what need improvement.




Oh, I'm also off the creatine as of last Friday. Started Glutamine last Wednesday so I'll see how my recovery, stress levels, and immune function do. Also invested in Melaleuca's Cell-Wise antioxidant. I
