    yes coachs idea. but its just a basic carb cycle diet, pretty similar to TP's altho a bit stricter. I cycle, high, low no and then repeat in that fashion.

    That is awesome news Jen! Good luck with that!!
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    Hey JIll!! thanks for the self image boost hun! appreciate it! ughh I dont know why they had to keep going on about it. to have a GUY make fun of me is terrible its a no wonder I cant get a man. serious. I wish that they would feel the same as you do. your such a darling. seriuos though as of lately I keep second guessing myself. I mean I feel lonely sometimes..not that I dont have a ton of friends.. just seems that their interest is somewheres else. most guys think Im weird for loving bodybuilding. heck I could relate to any female around here about my lifestyle, most are out partying at all crazy hours of the nite. I dont drink and am not into the bar scene. its sooo hard on my head. all I want sometimes is just a hunny to cuddle with. sighh.. everyone keeps telling me ohh yah in time, blah blah.. but its been forever!! and I dont mean just a couple months either. Im talking since the end of grade 11. my senior year in high school was a bummer, I dont know but it seemed like every guy was afraid to approach me.. I know my ex had something to do with that but still. I didnt even have a date for my prom until a week before a guy from another town offered to go with me so I wouldnt be dateless.
    blah Im babling here. just need to vent. its really bugging me, and as of late its even more.. Idont know if its becuase Im dieting and my hormones are wacked er what. emotional side coming out.
    sorry to go on and on. blah..

    hmm on a better note. I got a MILLION things done today. felt good. day off work(except for that one hour earlier). just laying back and finally enjoying the peace of not being rushed or stressed from having something imp to do.
    and its high carb day so I got to have my oaties!

    You'll find someone when you least expect. It's weird how it happens. When you did get one, make sure he is a man and not a boy. Those never grow up.

    Hey Jen-- what great news that you may have a sponsor-- that rocks-- I'm sure they will!! Your a wonderful person w/ a KNOCKOUT BODY!!!!

    I always have hated valentine's day-- I STILL do--and I'm married--its just so lame to me!!! Your right- It was much funner in elementary school!!!

    But you will find a great guy one day I know! My husband doesn't understand my working out--and neither do my friends and family-- on here is the only time I can talk about working out. I know how you feel.

    YEAH Its high carb day for you!! Kick ass! Enjoy your Oats girl!!!!

    SMILE!!!!! WE lOVE YOU!

    A lot of people I associate with dont understand my lifestyle either. Me and my honey relate NOW, but a few years ago all he ate was fast food!! The people I work with munch on junk and eat fast food daily-which sometimes makes it had. You will soon enough find a man-gosh I know dozens of men who would want to date ya! Im sure though he will have all the same interest as you. Just remind yourself how far you have came with your body. Dont be so hard on yourself!

    I agree with JBL....you find someone when you arent looking...just dont have your eyes closed when opportunities arise.

    I moved to Texas and finding a girlfriend was the last thing on my mind...i was here for school and that was my focus....i had no interest in going out or dating.....so of course what happened?...i met jodie (jlb001)....and now we live together.

    I think that it is important to find someone who understands your interests....especially if you want to compete....it is very demanding, expensive, draining, etc. it is hard to understand if you havent done it before or at least have been around it.
    My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

    When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for us.

    I had a bfriend one time and I dont like to drink, dont like the bar scene - I dont like to go out to eat often - so there is not much left to do in terms of dating. I started trying to do all those things w/ him and felt so horrible I cut it off. If your lifestyles dont match........ now I have someone who besides the occasional weekend binge on some beer tries has hard as he can to eat healthy and workout - I'm so glad i waited for him. Those guys are worth waiting for.

    You'll end up missing out on
    Everything you were meant to be.

    oh my gosh. I love you all. I feel a tad embarressed now for getting all emotional in my journal.

    Stace-Im smiling for you hun!! thanks!
    usually I deal with all this very well. its just as of late.. weird. its really setting in. Mm on a good note I did enjoy my oats! gosh darn they were great!

    Jill- I try not be be hard on myself. Ive always been a VERY independant person, pretty much raised my bro and I since I was 12.. so its weird for me to be acting like this. I need a swift kick in the booty! haha

    Dr.C- your absolulty right. I cant see myself being with someone who does not respect my lifestyle our own goals. its soo hard to even find friends like that.. Ill try to keep my eyes open.. I guess patience is virtue. I didnt know that how you and Jodie met up!! thats soo cool! you two are cute together!!

    Candy- so good for you for making the right move and getting outta the unhappy relationship hun! I couldnt put myself through that at all. and Im even more happy for you for finding that right someone! Hold onto him!

    ok.. I need some cafe to relax.

    Awww, you'll find the right guy in time Jen, definitely. I am very much into bodybuilding as you know. Don't drink, don't smoke, not into the bar scene. And it's definitely tough to try and find a girl like that as well. But they ARE out there, that is what's important. Sometimes a lot of guys like myself are VERY shy. I will not approach a girl at all unless she either continues to stare at me, lol, or just talks to me first.

    Don't worry about getting emotional either, we all do from time to time.

    Hi Jen!

    To further comment on V-day I have to agree with Stacey and that V-Day is sooooooooooooo overated! Why? First off, I can love my hunny any old day and I don't need an "official" day to do it either! I think I did MORE for my hunny throughout the year than on that day anyways! So, V-Day sweetheart... don't sweat it!

    As for having a hunny sometimes I think it's not worth it especially while trying to obtain your fitness/BB goals. Most tend to become a distraction because of their lack of understanding
    (dieting, sleeping, eating, training etc.) towards your goal. Unless of course you DO find someone that does understand! Well, if it's any consolatlion, I ended all my little party girls because it was so self destructive because of their drinking/drugs etc. Not that I did the drugs but I did do the partying/drinking - no sleeping and what did I gain from it? Weight!!!!!! So, by latching onto my trainer, ALOT of sacrifices were made!!!!

    Am I happy at this time?

    Yes!!!

    Do I have more respect from others and for my lifestyle change?

    YES!!!


    And you know what? The door to more quality people IS VERY OPEN! I have met some of the most down to earth-beautiful-sexy women and they like what they see in me! But they probably wouldn't have 3 months ago!

    So, don't let love play on your mind too much! Let it fall into place as others have said here previously and believe me, you WILL be SO MUCH HAPPIER!!! (As I am)

    on high carb days do you generally get 200-250 g carbs?

    thanks Jill!
    I cook my sweet taters in the microwave in a glass dish with a lid.. takes about 5 minutes when I slice it up. I LOVE them in the oven.. but sadly I dont have one.. so I make do

    aww NG thanks!! your so sweet!
    ha I wish my carbs were that high.. there about 150-160g.. altho if you added all the veggies it would be higher.. but it takes so much to digest them that I dont count them much.
