HI Kids. Remember me? The unfaithful logger?

OK. Well, I WILL BE FAITHFUL> Starting tomorrow. LOL. And weekends might be tough, but I'm gonna do it!

Anyways I've decided I will do the WNSO comp Nov.2/02 instead of the OPA show on the same day. Why? Because I'm going to rip right down to 114lb and see what happens. If I still place badly or not at all, then I'll know the judges have something against me for some reason. Yes, I'm still bitter about the placings at Musclemania. It was just bizarre.
I also don't feel like paying the membership fee and other stuff right now for the OPA.

I have 7 1/2 weeks left for the comp. I will go into the lightweights this time cuz it's my best bet based on what I know my physique looks like. If I didn't weight train at all I'd weigh about 110lb or under. I was reading Leslie's thread and Dr. Pain asked about her parents size. Well, my mom is 5'2" and weighed 95-100lb most of her life. She's 54 now and has put on a few lbs and it looks nasty on her because she's so little. Weight shows up on us real quick because of our size. My dad is only 5'8" and 160lb which is more then what he weighed when he was younger. They carry their weight well and have nice proportioned physiques except with all of us I think our legs should be a little longer. Neither of them carries weight excessively in areas, but my mother and me of course like typical females can gain more weight in our butts and thighs, but nothing atrocious. When I first started lifting weights I was 104lb and far from anorexic looking. So putting on size has been a huge challenge over the years. Unless it's bodyfat from overeating or having babies. I am 5' 5 1/2". My brother is 5'9" and used to get teased all thoughout school because of his small frame. Thankfully he also is into lifting weights and looks great now. On another story my oldest daughter is 5'4" already with the perfect model body. Long slim legs that go forever, small waist, beautiful etc. etc. She weighs 90lb but also is far from anorexic looking. Not bony at all, just super petite and slim but with curves. I want to get her into a fitness model search if I can get her into the gym and put some muscles on her. She fits into a kids size 10-12, but they're not long enough for her so buying clothes is very tough. My other 2 daughters are very petite too, but probably won't be as tall. My 9 year old is 53lb, wears a size 6X when most kids her age wear a size 9, and she actually is kinda bony but eats like a horse. The 7 yr old is 43lb, wears a size 5-6 but most kids her age wear a size 7 and she has my physique. She's actually quite muscular and strong but still very tiny. My son though is a different story cuz he has a different daddy. He is not 2 yet and weighs 30lb. He is a thick, big boy. He's my huggie bear!!!

Alright. To the good stuff. My diet has been almost awesome all summer since Musclemania, except for the beer. But that's a minor default. I'm already back down to 122lb and 9% bodyfat. I've been so good. 114lb in 7 1/2 weeks will be fine. Measuremants are 34 - 25 - 35. My butt is round, but not wide so the extra inches don't come from the width thankfully. And I wear a size 5. I NEVER use fat burners, NEVER drink coffee etc. The last time I had coffee I was 27 (I'm 31 now) and I just drank it cuz I was at my ex's house and he was making some and I was very tired and boozed up still. Hehe.

My training has been awesome too. I haven't been lifting as heavy over the summer as I usually do, but will add in 2-3 weeks of super heavy before the show. I've even been doing cardio 4-5x a week for 30min. I'm also not taking creatine anymore. I haven't used it since about May I think.

Tomorrow I will start logging everything. After this week me and my training partner are doing a 2 week 100reps program with very light weights. It's gonna hurt and I can't wait. Then it will be back to heavy, then super heavy, then contest prep.

For the last 3 weeks now I've been doing miminal fats - my fats are only coming from my animal meats, cottage cheese, some eggs yolks, and flax oil, - quality carbs (lots of fruits, can't get enough), veggies, and meats. I eat my homemade whole grain breads, spelt breads, light and dark rye breads, and my yummi organic amaranth, quinoa and spelt muffins, brown, wild and red rices and oatmeal, kamut and spelt cereal, but I'm not a huge eater of that stuff. I like my fruits and veggies way more. I rarely eat pastas too. I'd rather have steamed yellow beans, brocoli, yams etc. I've really leaned up on this. In 2 more weeks I will start lowering my carbs and upping the fats and proteins because past experience has shown that my physique gets nice and hard with this. I get leaner results from lower fats, but get harder with lower carbs. So, that's where my diet is going til the show. I just have to kick the raisin fetish. I just love those gosh darn little things. I could eat 2lbs a day no problem. Oh, I also eat my unblanched, unsalted almonds, sunflower and pumkin seeds. And make my homemade salad dressing out of the Essential 5blend oil and brown rice vinegar. And I've been pretty good with the protein bars. I usually only eat them on the weekends and have only had 3 so far this week since Friday. That is amazing for me!

I'll cut out the beer in 2 more weeks. Come on, 5 weeks without beer is enough don't you think? I'm also NOT going to binge drink 2 days in a row before this show like I usually do. I have a problem with that. Do yah think?


OK tomorrow is another story.... I've always got lots of fun stories

hey there, welcome back and congrats on your decision. I know your gonna do awesome.

Hi, and thanks guyz.

Sleep was pretty crappy again. I need to work on getting those 8-9hours again. I was doing really well, then with my friend living with me and drinking and going out I haven't been getting much again. I'm super exhausted today. I definitely need a nap before I hit the gym.

10:00am
1 1/2 serving soy protein shake
1/4cp 1% cottage cheese
1small banana
1iron, 1cal/mag, 1multi, 1antioxidant (A,E,C, selenium zinc and a couple other things in that I think), 1MSM/chondroitan/glucosamine
Lot of water

1:30pm
4oz chicken - sea salt, lemon pepper, basil, dill, garlic and shallots
1/4cp steamed yellow beans
1 1/2 oranges
Still been chugging the water and peeing like crazy. I hate peeing, I do it so often it takes up far too much time in my day.

That's it so far. I probably won't make it to the gym until 7:00 or 8:00pm cuz I have a lot of housework to finish still and then my nap. I'm on zombie mode right now.

I've already got tonight's meal prepared and ready to be cooked later.
Eye of round roast w/ soy sauce, sea salt, Montreal steak spice and onions
And home made cream of veggie soup: potatoes, carrots, brocoli, onions, garlic, yams, butternut squash, oregano, basil, tarragon, rosemary, sea salt and water.

Hey CLP, good to see a fellow Ontarian back on the boards. I'm probably going to volunteer at that show so I'll be there for support. I have another friend competing though, so she might get my loudest cheers.

Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

Hi CLP

Glad to see you back!

Sounds like you've got an excellent knowledge of what foods work for you and what doesn't. You teaching your girls to eat well? If so, I'll bet they always keep those cute little figures!!! You didn't say how old the two oldest girls are???

hiya, stranger!
Glad to see you back! Always like reading your logs! Sound like a fun person to be around! (I somehow get the feeling I couldn't keep up??)

Just a small idea about the pre-workout power naps: go to the taning booth...the laydown kind. Go in for 20 min...and get relaxed, then charged!

Wlecome back! It's always fun to read your posts. I also like the food information. I have such a hard time trying to figure out what to eat and the diaries help a lot. You're right about the water though... I still have to pee every 2 hours at night!! It's a great time to grab a protein shake though

Weight lifting is like " Mind over Matter". If my body doesn't mind---the weight doesn't matter!!!!!

Hi guyz and thanks for reading.

Butterfly my girls are 14 1/2, 9, 7 and huggie bear is 2 on Sept.29/02. I can't wait to have a big party for him. I'm sooo excited I must say.

I haven't been feeling so hot and have been super tired, which is now turning into a mild flu. Crap!!! So I didn't go to the gym today. I'm just gonna take the gym off right until Monday. I've been going pretty strong at the gym for awhile again so I'm not too concerned about the time off.

Napped for a few hours tonight. Now I'm up and logging. Gonna try to catch about 8-9hrs tonight.

Haven't really eaten much today.

Still chugging the agua. Gotta clean my system out. I think in 2 weeks time I'm going to do a total cleanse. Me thinks my body is telling me something and I need to do it.

7 weeks out starting tomorrow. About 2 more weeks of drinking. LOL. OK OK I was actually really good this week and only drank twice.

LOL Burner02 'trouble' is my middle name. Haha. Well I don't really get into any trouble, but I do have fun and enjoy life quite a bit. The simple things in life amuse me. Yes, I've watched Wayne's World about 50x in my life already. Can't get enough of that movie. Just For Laughs on the Comedy Channel is one of my favorite shows too. I don't care much for any other kind of shows, just comedies.

I'm outta here until early Monday morning but I'll keep track of what I'm going to be eating. Here's pretty much the itinerary for the next 2 days. Canned tuna and salmon, hardboiled egg whites, fruit and protein bars. And of course tonnes of agua. I am in the process of making homemade chicken soup so I just might put some in Tupperware and bring it too.
Chicken soup: water, sea salt, fresh skinless chicken, fresh crushed garlic, green onions, potatoes, and frozen mixed veggies (peas, corn, carrots, green beans)

The rest:
4:30pm
1 1/2cp homemade chicken soup

8:00am
1 serving soy protein shake

As you may surmise from my previous post and the times that I ate, I have not slept since 11:00am Sunday. It is now 9:15am Monday and I have a million things to get done today, so I will catch some zzzzz's later this afternoon cuz I have to go to the gym!!!

Today will be back to the gym as normal after my 8 days off recovery.

For the next 7 days I'm going to do a cleanse and rid my body of toxins to clear up the fluid around my ass and thighs so I'm ripped for Nov.2/02. Plus I need to make it to the massage therapist a couple of times too.

The cleanse will consist of gargantuan amounts of bottled or distilled water with lots of fresh squeezed lemon juice, homemade fresh juices, small amounts of quality protein - protein powders, egg whites, maybe some fish, grapefruit and I might invest in some Greens + or a similiar product. No vitamins or supplements.

Today will be mostly water with lemon, but I'll add in a few other quality nutrients in little doses.

Then it's onto contest diet. Yahoo. My fave

Aggghhh it's 9:15pm and no I did not get a chance to sleep at all today so I definitely could not even bear the thought of lifting up a weight. 34 hours of no sleep. Wahhhhh.

I absolutely must get back to the gym tomorrow. 9 days off. I look at the bright side though, recovery and growth.

Up so late you ask? Well....hehe, me and a couple of girlfriends were in Niagara Falls and we left there about 3:00am. I drove straight to my friend's house in downtown Toronto to pick up her kitten. That took about 1hr and 20min. She's going away for 3 weeks so I'm babysitting. Then I had to drive over 2 hours back home. Didn't get home until 6:40am. Just in time to start getting breakfast ready for the kids and then getting them off to school. Then I had to go grocery shopping, pay bills, buy diapers and formula, and other miscellaneous errands. Not to mention housecleaning and laundry.

So here I sit like a zombie. But I'm happy to be alive. LOL how cheesy of me, but oh well, I'm gosh darn tired.

On to the diet for today, mwah hahahaha.....

A chic on the move.

CLPgold

Oh yeah, no beer either since last Tuesday, but that all changed today, hahahahahahaha.

Well, you see, it's like this. I was so busy today and had to pick up all my needed items for my cleanse that I couldn't start it today. So I kinda binged.

I started off with that protein shake...

10:30am
1 protein bar

1:30pm
1 protein bar

4:30pm

And my huge supper binge. Just had to do it.

8:00pm, and my last official meal for a bit.
2 sirloin patties w/garlic and sea salt
The biggest salad I could fit on my plate with lots of creamy poppy seed dressing.
1 serving PVL Whey Gold
2 servings Interactive Soy protein
Oh I was so full after that. Chugged 8 tall glasses of water with it too. And I forgot to mention I've been working on a 6 pack - of beer that is. I was good and didn't buy my usual 12.

9:00pm
1 bottled water with 1 fresh squeezed lemon. This is all I will be having for the next 12 hours. After that I will start off with taking a tsp. of Greens + on an empty stomache, followed by many more bottles of water with fresh squeezed lemon. And then fresh squeezed juice. I'll take it from there hour by hour.

A chic on the move.

CLPgold

My itinerary of what I bought today. Got some veggies too cuz I'll be adding in fresh squeezed veggie juice after a couple days. And the kids still have to have proper meals

Tonnes of bottled water, lemons, limes, grapefruit, red grapes, oranges, apples, bananas, frozen mixed berries, salad, celery, field and grape tomatoes, bok choy, bean sprouts, snow peas, yellow beans, squash, yams, eggs, Greens+, PVL Whey Gold, Interactive Soy protein, flax oil.

I have a great juicer. It's awesome, it's not big enough, but I can live with that.

Alright I am done. Must...get...sleep...oh gotta finish off my last beer. Cheers!!!

Ooooh and I won't be having any more beer for awhile. So sad
