Today marks 16 weeks until June 12th! This will be my first ever attempt at a Natural BBing show! I've done figure several times in the NPC, so thought I would try a different route this time before doing a figure four weeks later in July. The fun thing too is that Craig will be doing this show with me!! I am so looking forward to doing this with him. woohoo

In this journal, I plan to keep track of all my diets and workouts along with the weights lifted. Jon, the person we will be working with will see us every two weeks to adjust diets/workouts accordingly. I have been working with Jon for the past two years on just bodyfat measurements so he knows my body well and how it will react to certain things. Please keep in mind, that my diet isn't the norm. for alot of people that complete. My body does very very well with a low carb diet (under 100 per day) putting more Infuence on the proteins/fats, with a cheat meal about every three weeks or as needed to kick it back in gear. And don't be suprised if my cheat food ends up being a piece of cheesecake or key lime pie.

Today and tomorrow I do not plan to be eatting completely clean. The reason being that I am taking my 18 yr old son to Mardi Gras in Galveston tonight, then tomorrow is a get together at my house for the last Sex and the City Finale....Pizza is on the menu!

I will try and do measurements sometime this week but will def. have bodyfat measurements on this coming Friday. So I will most likely just post weight and those measurements.

Hey JLB

I am excited for you, you are gonna ROCK woman! Have fun at Mardi Gras and at your Sex and the City party. Eat some cheescake for me

Jodi

I'm glad there is another person here that is going for BB as well. I wish you the best of luck.

I was going to compete in lightweight BB this spring but it was too much to handle all at once, moving, job, competing etc. So I will be competing this fall in a Nat BB show.

Enjoy your pizza

Cardio will begin back up on Monday am. Today's food so far:

Meal 1:
6 egg whites
2/3 c. oats with 3 tsp splenda

Meal 2:
Protein shake with fiber and glut.

Meal 3:
5 oz Tilapia
2 popovers
(I omitted carbs so I could have those as my carbs)
10 pieces asparagus

Meal 4:
Protein shake
w/ fiber and glut.
So far: 105 in protein, 58 in carbs, 12 in fat, 791 in calories.

I take a multi vitamin, Bcomplex, E and extra calcium, plus a thermo. If I do not have fish for that day, we do add in fish oil and flax seed. Otherwise dry skin and dull dull non shiny hair!

Now meal five....who the hell knows at this moment. I am hoping they have grilled chicken on a stick or something like that at Mardi Gras.

Girls/Boys.....I am gonna need some help! I have no clue on a song to use. Craig has suggested Black Cat by Janet Jackson...I love the song, but do ya'll have any other ideas??? And no...I will not be pulling a boobie out at the end of the routine! I won't have any left by the time I get to the show. Also......I have to get yet another new suit that is plain....what woudl be a good color??? I was thinking of just letting Bonnie make me one in whatever color she thinks.

I will be here to support you 100% chickie! Congrats, and best of luck in BB!!!

Jodi

I think a green posing suit would look great with your hair and eyes.

atherjen

I was gonna say green too. just like the color in your avi Jodie. it goes soooo pretty!
hmm as for a song, that a tuff decision. I havent heard that one u mentioned, Im going to have to download it now!

Hmmm good song but it might be too fast paced. I've seen a few bb comps and you need to move into a pose, hold it a few secs, repeat w/ a different pose....I know you probably know that already though. IMO the best posing routine I can remember watching was this 77 yr old guy in the grandmasters class posing to "Bad To The Bone." It was hilarious

DrChiro

we saw this 50 year old guy pose to "Mr Big Stuff"...he was in great shape and really looked like he was having a great time on stage....one of the best routines I have seen.

jodie does look good in green.....hmmm...maybe we can use the soundtrack to Shrek...or the HULK

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.

LOL Hey Jodie Kick Ass Gal!!!!

Good things come to those who wait........

greekblondechic

I think green too!!!

I dunno a good song, whats the requirements?
I wish you the best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JLB001

Shrek? I don't want to look like a big green Lug!

Dark dark Green??? or a light green?

I'm wanting a good paced song, nothing so slow that it drags forever and ever! Those are just painful routines to watch! We want something that is gonna make people go...Hmmmm.

Greeky...I'm not sure of the song requirements, I am thinking nothing with cuss words so I don't offend any prudes or children.
Maybe something from hip hop, hell I dunno! I am horrible with remembering names of songs!!!

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on."

greekblondechic

oh oh I cant decide, can you put your avi pic up in full size in your gallery maybe that will help? I really like that light green tank on u..but i dont really know what is more flattering under stage lights ive only been to one comp!!!

Fitgirl70

Hey J, I saw someone once do a routine to Kung Fu Fighting. It was so awesome.

What kind of song do you want to use? Something funky, country, what genre? You know I've been thinking when I do my routine in the fall, I'm gonna use Harder to Breath by Maroon 5.
Either that or Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row!.

All the glory to God! We have a baby on the way.

greekblondechic

I guess my new fav song "in public" by kelis wouldnt work then

It has a good tempo tho, you should download it Im guessing a tempo like that would be about right? It has little pauses where you could hold a pose and then pop it out real quick I love when bb'ers do that! It looks so cool but im not sure if u will get what i mean cuz I dunno how to describe it

JLB001

Greeky...I will see if I can find it to post.

Fit,,,something fun!!!! with an attitude!

MMMM, do you have to edit it? How long can the song be?

greekblondechic

It would be soo cool if you could use mya - my love is like whoa

my body's like whoa, my ass is like whoa

perfect! nothin wrong w/ a little self promotion right

JLB001

Last night at Mardi Gras, I did pretty good!

One chicken boobie on a stick with sm dinner roll
then some brisket (it had too much fat, but I was so hungry!) w/ sm hamburger bun. Then.....dessert! A Big Fat Dill Pickle!
Attached is a pic of how many people where there! It was so packed you could hardly move! Of coarse the 18 yr old got lots of boobie pics. LOL

Oh that pic takes me back....I spent St. Patrick's Day in New Orleans one year....it's their second Mardi Gras....it was so much freakin' fun!!

Greeky, I love that song, there is nothing wrong with self promotion....how about that one song (don't know who sings it)......"my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, in their eyes, it's better than yours, damn right, it's better than yours. I could teach you, but I'd have to charge..."

You know which one I'm talking about?

All the glory to God! We have a baby on the way.

Jodi

Dark Green - Dark color suits look much better on stage than light ones IMO.

Essence EFA

atherjen

dill pickle for desert eh? OK then Pickle Lady!

I need to do some downloading for songs.
from your avi, Id choose that shade of green too!

Besides, once you get all that tanner on and if you have a light colored suit, you may look like a neon sign.

I've seen both on stage and I just think the darker looks better

JLB001

I was thinking the same thing Jodi. I have two tats that I cover, one on my lower back and one on my left hip, anything to light shows all the protan and Dermablend.

OMG..Fit. I heard that song on the way home lastnight. I wrote down some of the words so I could ask who sang it. Who sings that song??? But do you think Milkshake would be too...umm...?? LMAO

Ah....New Orleans...I love that pace, love the history and how unique it is. Lived there for a short time. Just went back last year with Craig. We had fun, but it was hard to have too much fun when your doing a show there! We pigged out at The POrt of Call! My fav. place in the world for hamburgers and baked potatoes! Then had beinets (sp?) at Cafe deMond after inhaling those burgers!

KELIS - MILKSHAKE
OMG That song is the best when it comes on in the club

JLB001
