Thanks Michael.

My comp... Actually, I'm thinking I'm not going to do the competition. If i am, i'm six weeks out as of today, and honestly i'm so stressed with the move and changing jobs (and pretty much changing my entire life around right now), and the dieting is taking a toll on me, and my interests have changed dramatically, and to think of going on another six weeks of this if my heart isn't really in it, doesn't make sense. So i'm dieting at least through patrick's remaining time, since it's the best I can do to help him make it through these 3 weeks, you know, not parading around eating food he can't eat, etc. haha!

I will decide some time in the next few weeks if I'm going to do it or not. If i do, that means poor jodie will have to do my suit rush-ordered, and i have to kick up my posing practice because i've been slacking, and tighten up the diet because i've not been as strict as I should be in the past week or so...

You should do what you feel best!!! I understand about the stress of up-rooting everything and changing everything in your life!!! Keep your chin up and help Patrick get through his last 3 weeks, when he raises that 1st place trophy up he'll feel alot better!!! Good luck Ivy

I can imagine how stressed you must be with the move ..etc.. Hope you decide to do the comp, since you have gotten this far with your training/diet.

J'Bo

Wow GG is this a new thing? Congrats on the move.

We can look to eachother for relocation issues since I am about to move from Canada to Australia in 2 weeks

Stay strong girl and know that happiness is number one and the competitions will always be there when your ready. But you should really compete at some point, you have an awesome physique!

the total body split is going to have lots of differnet things. lots of movement training, starting with stabalization and reactive training to prep for ploymetrics and explosive lifts like cleans.

I'm torn, honestly... A part of me hates to quit anything i start, but the truth is that my heart is not in it. I am not even interested and I've been with the attitude of "I'm not in it to win anyway..." which means I'm not doing my best effort for it. So why bother. And now with all this new stuff going on, I just really don't care, even more. So long as I don't get out of shape, I would rather eat a little more, try to be normal and train for my obstacle course stuff, maybe give myself a year to do some conditioning and strength training and work on my diet, then jump into an obstacle course comp next summer or spring and clean house.

HAHAHAHAHA! I wish we had a basement! That would mean this apartment might be slightly bigger than it currently is!

Yep, pretty stressed. Mostly just trying to adjust. Despite being so stressed out, there is just something I LOVE about starting from scratch like I've had to do here. It's refreshing.

And as for the comp, it's looking more and more like i'm not gonna do it. Honestly. Sorry to disappoint. Just that... the more i think about it the more I'm like, "ugh... fuck it."

Not really all that new. It's been going on since last year... Thanks! Oh so you took that job in australia? Congrats on the move!

Yeah i'm going to switch to total body probably by next week. This week I'm going to do some more TUT stuff, using the same split i have had so far U/L/U/L

Heh... a LOT of people are out of the loop, it seems.

Man I can't wait! woo hoo!

Ok so I am updated now

P-Funk + GG= The G-Funk

I will try to stay in the loop from now on

GG: I think that you have huge potential to kick ass in the competition. Personally at the 7 week point it has always been tough to continue. If you don't feel like you want to go on with training for the competition then save it for later. What does Patrick think you should do?

And Congrats to you on your move.

Hey jodi! welcome back!

Yep i am 6 weeks out, and it is tough but not so tough that I couldn't possibly make it through. It is just a pain in my ass at this point since I don't even care. Every day when i'm setting up my meals and counting my calories and doing al that I'm thinking, "what the fuck am i doing this for..." I was so excited at first, and honestly, other than the discipline that it makes me stick to, I am finding nothing rewarding in this whole thing. I'm learning, yeah. That's always a reward, but in the grand scheme of things... the contest, the expense, the headaches, the fake tan, the water/sodium crap - NOT worth it to me. Pain in my ass if I'm not going to continue donw that road...

as for what patrick thinks... he's psyched to get me started training for the obstacle course stuff, and of course he is supportive of whatever I decide to do regarding the figure comp.

Hey Mike! Happy monday to you too (well, what's left of it!). Things are going great! Got your PM, will reply tomorrow...

ok good night everybody....

J'Bo

GG: i hear what your saying...sometimes it just doesnt seem worth it...i know for me once the last week hits its all worth it for me when i see my physique and then get on stage and see what i have accomplished and how far i have come and what kind of crap i have gone through to get there.

Obsticle course sounds like a blast...i am going to try it out as well

....and thats my $.02

b_reed23

GG....I was really looking forward to seeing you do a figure comp., but if your heart is not in it, then it is definetly not worth the torture of putting yourself through it. When is Patricks contest??

Good luck w/ the obstacle course thing..it sounds like fun.
