Alright competition done. Binging done. I finally got my pizza & beer so I'm good til Vegas. LOL - only 2 weeks away for me so I think I can manage without any more cheats. Besides if I eat another bite of junk food I'm gonna blow up. I attempted to eat clean Weds. but that didn't last long. Thursday I finally did eat good and I'm in the right minset again.

My goal is to do a mini-cut for the next 2 weeks. Party in AZ and Vegas for a 10 day vacation. Then I'll probably do another mini-cut to lose what I gain on vacation. After that, I plan on maintaining and trying to find a balance of staying lean and retaining LBM. This will be a first for me because I've always been trying to cut. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to do this yet but I'll figure it out.

Yesterday's Meals:

Meal 1:
Protein
3 Fish Oil

Meal 2:
3.25 oz. Chix
1 C. Broccoli
3 Fish Oil

Meal 3:
Protein
3 Fish Oil

Meal 4:
Can Albacore
Lettuce
ACV
3 Fish Oil

Meal 5:
3 Whole Eggs
3 Egg Whites
1 C. Green Beans
3 Fish oil

Don't expect an update everyday, but I will try to do the best I can. Just not in the journal mood lately.

You are probably not puting on "real" weight. You are probably just holding a bunch of water. It is really hard to put on one solid pound of fat when you are as active as your are. Once your diet cleans up, after only a week you will see that everything was blurred by excess water.

**kaliman91** · 10-03-2003, 09:48 PM

Pretty impressive journal jodi! And some really good strength too.
Very dedicated food journal too. Great job! I really need to stop, by here more often.

I know but 5 days ago I had abs and now I don't

Too much candy corn

**aggies1ut** · 10-03-2003, 10:05 PM

Chix? What's that?

**Jodi** · 10-03-2003, 10:08 PM

Chicken

yeah, it is depressing but don't worry about it to much. I go through the exact same thing whenever I start bulking. I feel like I am getting fat, I feel bloated, I can't see abs/serratus/veins etc....But then after one week of strict dieting everything starts to even out and I realize "hey, it isn't as bad as I thought it was."

I mean honestly, think about it. Do you know how hard it is for people like us......people that are as active as us.........people that train as hard as us........people that have control over their diets like us.......to put on a legitimate pund of fat?? It is so hard, we really have to over do it....and I mean really. Also, if we do even add a pound, because of our training and activitly level it ussually comes with some muscle

......which means it is a hell of a lot easier to lose that little bit of fat once the diet cleans up.

I hate people like you! J/k!

If i even look at carbs i gain lbs like nobodys business!

ALthough i gain mass real easy. I wish i could just have 1 long 6 month bulk. I would be in heaven!

**Jodi** · 10-03-2003, 10:15 PM

I know, I know but I see my stomach now and look at my comp pics and just wanna cry.

Its my own damn fault. I mean I ate ALOT!! When I mean ALOT, I mean you have no idea how much I ate. I was so full and still eating

I was such a

I couldn't control myself

Thats my old issue coming back. Ex-binger...........thats why I'm so strict on myself because it helps me control the bingeing. Thats why I need structure and planning or I lose it and it becomes a free for all. I gained alot of weight this week

I posted a pic of my stomach in my photo gallery. I HAD abs.

**derekisdman** · 10-03-2003, 10:58 PM

Just checked out the gallery - you did have abs! Thats a great pic. That dog rules, is he yours?

**sara** · 10-04-2003, 09:32 AM

Glad you have a new Journal! I'll be reading it

**Jodi** · 10-04-2003, 10:46 AM

Sara - I don't expect this journal to be as detailed as the others but your more than welcome to read it

Thanks Derek, I woke up this morning and I can start to see them coming back

Post comp binge did me in

Yup that is my little baby Mochy. I love my dog, she just turned 8 this year. She's a beagle/daschund mix. Isn't she cute?

**derekisdman** · 10-04-2003, 11:44 AM

Whoops, SHE

Yes she is. It looks like shes got the look of "what the hell is that thing and why are you pointing it at me, i'm trying to sleep" or something. I'm gonna post my pets in my gallery right now.

**Jodi** · 10-04-2003, 01:33 PM

Yeah she's a little bitchy like that. She's funny, she has such a human personality its scary.

I love your dog.

: How old? What kind?

**derekisdman** · 10-04-2003, 02:43 PM

She's a Brittany Spaniel and shes right around 8 years old. She's a bird hunting dog; my dad takes her out almost every night and she loves it. You can't really see it in that picture but her face is very pretty, though shes got a fat body. It's so funny to watch her run around cause she hops like a rabbit. I'll try to find a better picture.

This weekend my brother brought his dog home too, shes the same kind but she's crazy. We refer to her as the "cyclone" because she'll just run around in circles for hours and never settles down.

**Jodi** · 10-04-2003, 07:25 PM

Well she's beautiful.

I had a Cocker Spaniel as a kid and teen and I loved him. He was awsome he also had that round in the middle look. Not really fat but just round. LOL!

My little Mochy is very active and she's always stayed thin. That could have something to do with how I feed her too. No commercial dog food. All homemade and plenty of EFA's

Doggie Flax and Cod Liver Oil

. I'm not kidding either. I even bake her own doggie treats,

they stink up my house too.

You are too cute Jodi!

Maybe you could make her some doggie dumbells too!

I put some pics up in my gallery of my dog

He's such a sweetheart! Getting old though, which is really scary

That is too funny.

She will probably live to be like 30 years old with that diet. What's the recipe for doggie treats I may have to give them a try. I've wondered sometimes if dogs digest similar to humans because the vet said to only feed her once a day but I thought maybye feeding her more frequently would speed up her metabolism!

This doesn't really anything to do with this but have you ever seen that kibbles and bits commerical where the beagle is about to get fed and he starts dacning around and it's computer animated? It cracks me up everytime I watch it.

**Jodi** · 10-05-2003, 10:27 AM

Mochy eats 4 times a day in smaller portions. I would never feed her once a day. She has the shiniest and softest coat ever. Her skin use to be dry til I started feeder her like this and she is much healthier. She use to have ear trouble and stomach digestion issues as well. Not any more.

EFA's for my dog and I mix it in her food. Use 1/8 tsp. per 20lbs per meal. Mix it all up and store in dark bottle in the fridge.
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup safflower oil
1/4 cup cod liver oil
1/4 cup flax seed oil (they have it for dogs, use that one)

Doggie Treats
3/4 cup Beef broth (I use no sodium canned broth)
1 egg
3 tablespoons canola oil or safflower oil
1 cup oat flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/3 cup Bulgur or a grain cereal
1/3 cup Bran
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Mix up, let it rise, knead, let it rise again, roll it out. Use cookie cutters (I have a doggie bone

) and cut into shapes. Place in a warm location and let it rise again. Bake at 325 for 30 minutes until brown and no longer soft. Place on a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container. She loves them

Because they take so long to make I double the recipe and then store them in the freezer. Well worth it though. She goes nuts for them. I also have her on a raw diet
