Well!!!

I have been MIA for awhile. I did do the Muslcemania and was very disappointed in the outcome. I am waiting to get pics back so ya'll can critique. All in all I personally was quite happy with my physique that day ( of course there is always room to be bigger and leaner

). Unfortunately I am not one of the judges, (cuz I would have made me first place hahahahaaha) OK JOKE< but I was in pretty good condition that day. Nothing I can do about the outcome again though so...

Since I never give up and I love a challenge, I am switching over to the OPA and doing a show Nov.2/02. We'll see how things go.

I am going to be much more faithful with my logging, cuz ya'll know how good I am at that.

hehe. I have time now for this stuff since I'm retired.

So, I worked out all last week with my wonderful training partner. Then I took all this week off to get my CNS back on track. I found a wonderful trainer in TO who is going to check out all my stats and tell me what's what. We'll take it from there and see what happens.

So hey kids, I missed you all. Kuso? PB? and all the wonderful girlz on here.

Except right now I have to get over my drinking binge. LMFAO what's new. This will last until the end of August. That gives me 2 more months until my next comp.

I will start logging on Monday. Bye kids. Take care.

Hey girl...I've got a pic of you

Good to hear from you! Where the show w/ OPA? I was thinking of doing them too...they've got one in Kingston around then.

Posted by: CLPgold

W8? Hey girl. How did you enjoy Musclemania? Hope to see you soon. Are you getting ready to do a show soon? You'd better! Can't use that beautiful phsysique just on mmafiter LMAO!

Posted by: CLPgold

OMG LMFAO that's a horrible pic of me LOL!

Me and my friend are very drunk right now and she just fell off her chair so I am almost peeing my pants laughing at her. She is apparently efferevescent right now whatever that is supposed to mean. LOL.

OMG w8. LOL my friend says I look scared about something haha. OK, now I definitely have to get some better pics up.

Bye the way, my SH#1 only placed 5th. I was quite surprised. I personally thought he looked extra yummi onstage, but maybe the judges don't look at him the same way I do.

OK , OK, enough. SH#1 is still just a " (special) friend". There are far too many fish in the Ontario Lakes to settle...

Posted by: CLPgold

Oh, BTW, the show I'm doing with the OPA is here in London. It's a level l-ll.

Anyways... I'll post again later now cuz I'm bummed about losing all my wise words LMAO.

Posted by: Burner02

Hey you!
Welcome back! was wondering what had happened to you, as hadn't seen you post in a while.

Too bad you didn't place higher. What do those judges know anyway? If it were up to us, you'd have all our votes!

Posted by: naturaltan

CLP ...

Good to hear from you ...

Posted by: CLPgold

Hi kids!

Now I'm having troubles with my mouse. Agghhhhh! Keyboard and mouse are less then a year old!

Anyways, I'm back at the gym tomorrow, or today considering it's 3:50am. Don't even ask why I'm up (has something to do with those gosh darn tasty brews

).

It was another kinda good weekend. No complaints except I'm really hooked on this one guy - for the last 3 months now- OK I'll admit it I'm infatuated like crazy. Even told SH#1 about him.

Gotta be honest right?

Well I was looking at some of my pics again from Musclemania and am - to be honest- bitter as hell again about my non placing. I can't wait to do the OPA show and see what their judging is like. In a way it's good cuz it sure adds fuel to my fire to keep getting better!!!

Here's a pic that I saved off the WNSO site.

Posted by: david

I ask the same silly question! WTF am I still doing up? Guess that's what I get for training a client till' 2 am! Damn, I'm going to have to change his freakin gym schedule!

Very Hot action type pic CLP!

Take care girl!

Posted by: naturaltan

your pics are stunning as always. Funny, once you hit the height of stunning, it's hard to take a bad pic.

Posted by: CLPgold

Thanks guys. You've made my day, and week!!!

I haven't gone to the gym yet, hang on, gotta save my huggie bear from the top bunk bed...
OK he doesn't want to be saved he's just playing games with me. He's starting to say words like NO LOL, and ta dah, and uh oh, and mom. It's so darn cute I just wuv him to pieces.

Hang on, gotta crack a beer tee hee...I know, I know I said I'd stop, but it's August and I well you see it's like this...
My best friend of 20 years just moved down here (6weeks ago) to ON to live with me all the way from AB. The first time I got drunk at 15 it was with her LMAO. So you see, we have a long history of growing up and partying. Now that she's here, and I hadn't seen her in 2 years we have a lot of catching up to do.

She's actually in Niagara Falls today checking out places. I thinks were gonna make the move and live out there for awhile. And I mean all of us LOL. Her, her boyfriend, her 2 kids, me and my 4 kids, 2 dogs, 4 cats and 2 gerbils. LOL. Stressfull you ask? NOOOOO, OK, well a little, but mostly it's been great.
Niagara Falls is beautiful country. I've been working in the Falls 2-3x a week for the past few months anyways so it would save the commute. The only problem is getting my 14yr old daughter to bend. She's quite upset with another move and I don't blame her.

OK back to the gym part. I will be getting my butt in there sometime tonight, and go tanning. It's back to some serious hardcore workouts. I am also going to be going back on the creatine next week for 5 weeks and dedicating myself to doing cardio. For the Musclemania I'd only squeezed in about 4-5 cardio sessions in a 2 months time period. Regardless of bodyfat levels, I want to keep my heart health up mostly.

My diet today has consisted of beer, water, and a pork chop. I realize that this is not the best diet LMFAO, but at least I'm getting some calories and nutrients in right? Help me here folks, I'm all about justifying my actions.

Since I've been semi retired, I've been averaging about 8hrs of sleep a night for the past month and I love it!!!

My diet's been pretty good all this time since the comp. I did do a little post comp. bloat and put on about 8-10 lbs, but have dropped around 4lb now. I'm sitting at around 125lb right now. Not too bad.

My goal is to keep my weight where it's at, but increase the lean mass and drop the bodyfat. I'm aiming to compete in the middleweight class at 118-120lb ripped. If I can put on 3-4lb of muscle in the next 12 weeks I'll be right where I want.

So that's my story so far for today kids! Gotta finish scubbing the fort down and cook up some grub for all the wee ones.

Posted by: CLPgold

OK here's the low down on my food! LOL

Other than the pork chop, beer and water I had another pork chop before my workout.

After my workout I had a:
HUGE salad of romaine,iceburg, radichio and a few other items which constituted 13cals. Whoooooo! But I added 250gm of 1% cottage cheese totalling 220cals, plus 2tbsp of this awesome dressing called "Creamy Poppy Seed" which came out to 120cals. I love that dressing. And since I usually only make my own, I am on a mission to mimic the poppy seed dressing. Oh yes, it will be done! Then I can feel justified to eating it!

After that throughout tonight I have nibbled on BEER, 5 strawberries, 5grapes, 8salt and vinegar chips and I think that's it. I've been pretty good...well OK except for exsessive amounts of Beer.

Next week my diet will be on track. Right now I'm concentrating on drinking properly and responsibly he he he he he, and eating well, but exessivelly.

Let's see what tomorrow brings...

Posted by: esmerelda

Keep up all the good work.....hope the kids are fine and the animals!!!! Must away and see to my littles rug rat.....she thinks she can cook now.......you should see the kitchen!!!!

Posted by: CLPgold

LOL Esmeralda. I love feeling justified!!! Especially while I'm sitting here at 3:30am and still drinking.

I went to the gym again today, surprise surprise!

Did back and abs. BTW my pecs and biceps are quite tender today. Hopefully my back and abs will feel the same way tomorrow. I can only hope that by Sunday every muscle group will be stiff, sore, and hurt.

Oh and sleep. Well I was probably in bed for 9-10hrs, but not sleeping. It was that 'can't sleep cuz too much booze' thing.

Posted by: CLPgold

I gotta see if I can remember everything I ate today.

When I got up I had about 200gm 1%cottage cheese and a banana. I love fruit. It's so nice to eat it again, but that's gonna stop around mid September.

Hmmm I also ate some strawberries and rasberries today. 2bites of homemade spaghetti w/meat sauce. Oh a couple of yucky tasting blueberries. Pooey. Ick. They were sour and nasty. Hmmmm BEER of course.

Oh yea baby! About 20oz. of beef throughout the day. I think I had another banana. I really didn't keep track today. Oops. But it a good eating day. No bad stuff. Ah a huge salad again w/ that yummi Creamy Poppy Seed dressing. You guys gotta try it. It's by Kraft. They also have a yummi rasberry vinagrette one too. I gotsta figure out a more healthy way of copying those dressings using Omega Essential oil blend and other good stuffs.

OMgosh kids. Today I had a hangover too! I never get hangovers and today I was afraid to get out of bed. I felt like such crap!!! But I got my butt outta bed and started cleaning the house and stuff and by about 7:00pm tonight finally felt better. Then I went to the gym. I really think that drinking more today helped take the edge off that nasty hangover. Ya think?!

Hmmm don't know why I had one though. It's a rare occasion, but it didn't stop me. Oh no, I fought back with a vengeance and poured more alcohol down me throat.

Tomorrow I'm going to train shoulders and triceps. I realize this is totally off topic from my last paragraph

I watched some SCTV last night (yes I'm that old haha) and didn't know how much I'd really missed Ed Grimly I must say. LMFAO. OH I must say...

OK, somebody stop me. I need to get to bed.

Bye

CLP...you're fuking funny!

I really hope you do well in your next show!

Posted by: CLPgold

LMAO thanks w8. I really marvel at the thought that folks actually read all the crap I write. I could on , and on and on...kinda like the energizer bunny, except I wish I was getting laid instead of typing frigging words. But that's another story kids!!!

So, it's Monday.

I didn't work out Friday, but I ate good.

I ate really well all weekend and had my usual protein bar binge cheat day on Sunday. Downed 11 of those tasty little suckers. Lee Labrada is rich because of me buying all his bars. He'd better personally thank me one day. Well, I guess you guys need to decide how good my diet was. LOL. It was clean, but I had an extremely excessive amount of protein throughout a 24hr. period. I know what you're thinking guyz, but no, I didn't get laid.

4:00am Saturday (or Sunday morning I should say) I had 2 - 16oz t-bone steaks and 2 poached eggs. WHY? Cuz I went to Dennys' and wanted to eat good before bed. I ordered the T-bone and the chef came out to ask me how I wanted it cooked. He said he'd love to cook up 2 steaks for me...I asked if he was going to charge me and he said no! So he cooked up these 2 huge wonderful t-bones for no cost and I devoured both of them and the eggs. Then throughout the day on Sunday until 3:00am I had 11 protein bars. A friend insisted I give her one, or I would have had 12. When I got home at 5:00am there was leftover eye of round steaks I cooked up so I chewed up 16more oz of beef. All in all I had about 550gm of protein in a 24 hour time frame. I realize this is exessive, but you should expect that from me by now.

BTW, I'm still really bitter about my placing at the Musclemania. Poop!!! I have high expectatations with a show from the OPA.
