Kidney: 31 - 23 - 21.5 - 16 - 15 - 13 - 14 - 13.5
Quad: 42 - 35 - 31.5 - 25 - 22.5 - 21.5 - 22 - 21
Calf: 25 - 22 - 21 - 21 - 20- 18.5 - 18 - 17.5
BF %: 23.9 - 17.4 - 15.46 - 13.07- 11.8 - 10.88 - 11.06 - 10.3
fat lbs: 33.78 - 23.8 - 20 - 17.5 - 15.2 - 14.09 - 14.26 - 13.08
LBM: 109.22 - 113 - 113 - 116.5 - 115 - 115.4 - 114.7 - 113.9

LBM dropped a lil, but I think at this point into it, its just gonna happen. We are back on track, mind is back in the right place once again and pretty focused on getting where I need to be in the time we have left. I had really hoped to be in the 9's but I can't complain with the low 10's. 9's for sure by next week!

There will be a few minor changes to the diet. Not too much, just little minor things. Like more turkey and fish than chicken with my meals. also replacing the oats with cream of rice or cream of wheat but the same serving amounts. No more rice, no more red meat (wasn't eatting much of this anyways). And no more cheat foods.

Craig is still debating on doing this show, guess he'll let me know sometime this week. Gotta get the entry fees mailed in soon.

Still kinda shocked that my strength in my lifts haven't gone down. Weird thing is...I'm actually going heavier. But we haven't dropped the carbs any lower so that may be what is helping keep it higher. I dunno, just a lil odd if ya ask me. But I'll take it!

Your transformation over the past 12 weeks have been remarkable and inspirational. You are going to look so great on stage.

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 11:11 AM

Thank you so Much Jodi! I can't wait to see you when you start all the preps for your first bbing show. At least you will have legs!
I'm still waiting for mine. LOL I'm still a lil concerned with the lose of muscle, what are your thoughts on it? We didn't increase cardio which I was so glad about, because I know it aids in the loose.

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 11:12 AM

Stacey....YOU HAVE TO COME!! No is not an acceptable answer.

It would only be for a few hours.......(Doing my best at begging today and being a whiney baby, so Craig won't have to listen to me later.)

Stacey · 05-13-2004, 11:16 AM

HONEY I WILL TRY!!!!! But I think I may be working saturday!!!! You are doing a great job begging--LOL!!

Stacey · 05-13-2004, 11:27 AM

JODIE- Craig is going to the timeshare thing? Without you? Did they tell him you have to have your spouse or girlfriend with you??? Otherwise you do not get the trip or anything. Tell Him to call and find out. I don't want him to waste a trip

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 11:38 AM

He already told them he was coming alone. They told him it was ok.

Thanks.

My abs are like your legs. Guess we all can't be exactly the way we wish.

IMO at this stage of the game a little muscle lose is to be expected. Have you thought about BCAA's? I know they help me out when dieting and I didn't lose any muscle. Then again, I didn't get as low as you need to go for BB. I would look into some BCAA's. I like ICE and I sip it during my workout. Tastes good too

Stacey · 05-13-2004, 11:57 AM

okay cool Jodie--just checking. Maybe if your married You HAVE to bring the spouse. LoL

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 12:19 PM

Jodi..I dropped the glutamine, didn't see much difference in using it and not using it. At 4 weeks, I want to keep what I got. I don't want to be the skinny chick. Where do you get the ICE? if you have a link so I can read up on it. Jon's pretty much got me off any thing that has any form of fat or sugar in it. So my EFA's are low. Gotta keep an eye on the skin and hair from now on for the next few weeks too. If I notice much of a change there, I will add those back and he'll just have to kiss my rear. I'm not gonna be a baldie!

greekblondechic · 05-13-2004, 12:22 PM

Hey girl!

You look like you hold onto muscle pretty well, I know some people lose it easier than others..

I don't bother with glutamine because there is plenty in the ICE. There is no sugar, fat or carbs in the ice. Its a very small scoop so don't let the price scare you. That 2lb container lasts me over 2 months and I use 4 scoops per workout. At your bodyfat level, now is the time when BCAA's would be best IMO!

You can use Vit E oil on your nails to help prevent splitting and cracking. Not sure about the hair though but you have short hair like me so I'm sure it grows relatively fast. Maybe extra conditioner or hot oil treatments

cajunFit · 05-13-2004, 12:32 PM

Hey Jodie

Your progress looks so good girl!

You are doing an amazing job!

Well we got home this morning, all seems to be doing well. Chyna is still not receptive to the pups, she's like "What the hell are those things ?

"

Cant wait to see you again Saturday!

Jill · 05-13-2004, 12:39 PM

Fab results darlin!!! The show is coming so quick, I bet you are sooooooooo excited!!

Keep it up!!! BTW, any pics of the suit you plan to wear?

Fitgirl70 · 05-13-2004, 12:44 PM

Yeah, def fab results!! I can't wait to see you on the 12th. I think I might drive down that Friday night and then tag along with you guys on Saturday. Do you know what the scheduling is going to be like?

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 12:55 PM

Tam let me know if you will come in on Friday. I will see if I can get the corp unit. We have one at the property right next to us that is a one bedroom. Maybe Tanya would be game too?

I'll have to look at my paperworkt o see what the schedule is. Being that it isn't an NPC show, it won't be near as large and start as early.

Tanya!!!!!!!! I'm glad you made it home ok! I was worried about you guys in all this icky weather. Poor Chyna, she'll adjust to them. She's been threw alot this week.

Fitgirl70 · 05-13-2004, 12:58 PM

I'm definitely going to come down Friday night. I"ll probably leave right after the boys' dad picks them up, or.....if I can get him to meet me, I'll just drop them off on my way out, they live right off of 45.

That apt. would be great!!! See if Tanya wants to join too, we can share

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 01:18 PM

Ok...they don't start pre judging until noon. finals at 7pm.

Damn freak azz time for prejudging. Hmm...gonna have to rethink am foods for that day.

I'll call and see if the corp is gonna be open that day. I plan to be off work all day Friday. Hate working a few days before.

Jillie....I only have my royal blue two piece right now. I'm waiting on Bonnie to make me a green two piece. I won't have that until a week or so before the show. She called last weekend freaking out thinking I needed them this week. I'm not sure what color green it will be, she knows me pretty well, so I asked her to just make one in a pretty green that she thought would look best on me. I hate putting those suits on before hand because they are soooo tiny! The royal one isn't stitched the best and I do not want to rip the stitching out trying to get the bottoms over my rear right now. I do plan to wear my purple two piece for the evening show. Maybe in two weeks I'll post one in the royal blue.

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 01:56 PM

I got the apartment! 11th, 12th and 13th.

Stacey · 05-13-2004, 02:21 PM

I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!

Fitgirl70 · 05-13-2004, 02:31 PM

OH, that's awesome Jodie, thanks. That is a weird time for prejudging.....hmmmm!!!!

Man, this is going to be so much fun!!!

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 02:44 PM

FUN? Watching me be ms. piggy?

I'm being serious....someone better bring the godiva choc cheesecake, so then we can head over to pizza hut for Craig. LOL And IHOP in the am.<~~for me to have a HUGE stack of pancakes! Think they will have the all you can eat still?

Stacey....what time is the wedding?

I can't wait!! I get to embares myself in front of all of ya'll! Only cuz I still don't have a routine!

Gotta work on that this weekend.

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 02:49 PM

Jodi...Craig is gonna get some BCAA's this weekend for me to start taking. Gonna give em a try.

Stacey · 05-13-2004, 02:54 PM

I don't know- I will check when I get home. However I know that I will be staying for it all.. they are having a dinner & dance afterwards. I'm too close to his family to just leave.

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 02:56 PM

Dinner and Dance??? Hmm...so it is a late afternoon wedding.....say 3 or 4ish? maybe later???

Stacey · 05-13-2004, 03:06 PM

yep! It's a good old country wedding!! I'm sure it starts around 4 3, 4 or 5! lol--not sure.

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 04:56 PM

You'll have to let us know...maybe you could still do both?

Fitgirl70 · 05-13-2004, 05:21 PM

That would be really great Stacey if you could do both. Maybe go to the wedding and dinner and then head out??? Well, I hope you work it out honey, I can't wait to meet you.

JLB001 · 05-13-2004, 05:49 PM

she needs to meet us Tam. We may have to go kidnap her from her house.....I have the addie!
