J'Bo's Physique Training Diary

J'Bo · 06-11-2002, 05:29 PM

Gotcha Doc.
I liked my results today, but still not a competition physique.
I will follow instructions to a tee, for next week.
I did a fitness demonstration yesterday and today my arms are deathly sore. My calves were cramping a bit this morning so were my triceps. I have noticed a difference in my legs the most, last competition i did not have any cuts in the legs. I have a couple cuts in my legs now. They also feel a little bigger. My abs however are not nearly as ripped as last show. Is this because my water is so high?

J'Bo · 06-12-2002, 09:00 AM

Day Twelve

Meal one:
4 egg whites
1 yolk

Meal three:
1/2 cup rice

No, you don't understand water and hydration yet....more means you "dry out", get at least 6 L today! Up to 7-8 by Sunday!

You need a Multi-mineral every night now to prevent cramping and headaches...ask w8 (1200-1500 Calcium and at least 500-750 magnesium, and other minerals)...it will take 3-4 days to becum effective...SO START NOW!

You will go flat this week and probably "freak" a couple times...ask w8....follow the directions and we will explain more later!

J'Bo · 06-12-2002, 09:21 AM

The only thing i am freaking about is the fact that i am so sore.
I cant even touch my arms today (or yesterday). I understand i am going to go flat and then when i carb up next week i will fill out, right?

w8lifter · 06-12-2002, 09:24 AM

Saw that!

"freak" means....you'll be second guessing what's going on...if it's working...freaking out....this is where you have to trust, and follow instructions to a tee....if you don't, you run the risk of screwing up at the last second and you won't be able to change it. Trust me, I know! You'll need to drink exactly how much and when...eat exactly what you're given to eat...if you don't, you could come in holding water, too flat, spill, etc.

J'Bo · 06-12-2002, 09:38 AM

Ok i understand, really i do.
I will do everything you tell me, even if i have to sit in one place and drink 6 liters before i move.
I am FREAKED out right now because i just looked at Kary Odiatu's website and there are 20 competitors registered already. They all look like pros.

J'Bo · 06-12-2002, 09:56 AM

Ok so should i send you guys some photos of me today so that you can see where i am? Or do you not need to see them? What if i am not where you think i should be? if i am not lean enough and carb load wont i look like a whale?

w8lifter · 06-12-2002, 12:00 PM

Yes! If you have recent pics, please let us see them! Do you have a link to kary's website? I'd like to check the competition

w8lifter · 06-12-2002, 12:01 PM

Oh yeah...email addy

...iliftw8s@cogeco.ca

J'Bo · 06-12-2002, 06:26 PM

Kary's website is www.karyodiatu.com all the information regarding the show is on it (or linked to it).

J'Bo · 06-12-2002, 08:21 PM

I was really hard on myself today.
I had really sore shoulders and tris and still insisted on doing my arm hangs. I did not reach my 2 min. and so i am really pissed.
Anyone have any tips on how to hang for a longer period of time?

J'Bo · 06-13-2002, 07:54 AM

Well its coming down to the wire!

DP i actually had no problem hitting 6 liters yesterday.
Abs feel tight today.

My tanita scale is so off, i dont think i am going to step on it again. I went to see my dentist yesterday (he is the one putting on the show) and he said to be careful not to come in too hard. The judges are looking for a softer look then fitness and arent looking for a hard vascular type. Well i am going to go as hard as i can til then if i am too hard looking then "oh well" deduct me if you must.

Yesterday as i mentioned i had a hard time doing my arm hangs, i need to have my energy next week so that i can preform well Saturday.

Meal one:
.5 scoops protein
4 egg whites
1 yolk
1/2 cup oatmeal
flax seed oil capsule

Don 't i have the most boring and monotonous diet?

Dr. Pain · 06-13-2002, 08:08 AM

DP

J'Bo · 06-13-2002, 10:53 AM

Well i put meal one as having 1/2 cup of oatmeal, i took it out though because unfortunately it did not stay down.

With all the water i am always full to the brim.

J'Bo · 06-13-2002, 10:55 PM

What about the minerals again?
W8 what should i be taking before bed?

Dr. Pain · 06-13-2002, 11:06 PM

Multi-Mineral at dinner....last meal before bed!

DP

J'Bo · 06-14-2002, 12:04 PM

Feeling like a bag of herpes. Ate bad yesterday, i was really buys and every meal was liquid with very little carbs.

Meal one:
1/2 cup oatmeal (gone down and up again)
.5 scoop protein
4 egg whites
1 yolk
flax seed capsule

Feeling really tired because the oatmeal did not go into my system. Going to get my supps now.
Can't wait til next Friday.
Emotions are going crazy and i am having alot of breakdowns.
Thank god this is almost over.

Meal two:
1/2 cup rice
tin tuna
1 tablespoon mayo
celery

Meal three:
steak
1/2 cup rice
2 cups asparagus

Meal four:
1.5 scoops protein
1/4 cup nuts

nikegurl · 06-14-2002, 01:00 PM

oh girl - hang in there. you're doing well! i hope you feel better later today. keep the faith. you're awesome!

good job on the water by the way!

J'Bo · 06-14-2002, 02:32 PM

Nothing pisses me off more than when the IM signs me out and deletes my replys. Especially when i am dieting.

Hey thanks NG!

Saw your pic in the memebers photo gallery, you are beautiful and look like a fun chic to hang out with. Where do you live?

I just got my pot. and mag. from the store and talked to a few people about it and now i feel better about taking them. i could only get the mag. in 150mg doses though. How many and when should i take them? All before bed? Thats alot of pills.

Leslie · 06-15-2002, 02:02 AM

you have come this far--HANG IN THERE GIRL!!!!

yOU ARE DOING GREAT! You're an inspiration to me anyways!I will be starting a journal soon hoping for some good feedback from all you guys! I told my BF I may want to compete if I ever get "in shape". He is supportive but is very scared because he KNOWS how I get w/ little carbs never mind none!

But its all worth it in the end right?!

J'Bo · 06-15-2002, 07:48 AM

Yes it is all worth it in the end

I haven't had much time to diet for this show, and i don't feel as though i will be ready

I dont want to make a fool out of myself on stage. This week i feel soft and i have very little cuts and dont look lean at all. I don't know what is going on with my body

Perhaps it is just from my diet changes this week, but i am starting to lose faith that i will be ready.

w8lifter · 06-15-2002, 08:54 AM

J'bo....girl, I know it's hard not to stress, but when you stress it screws w/ your hormones....and that affects your body....try to relax, and have fun, you'll do great!

lina · 06-15-2002, 10:01 AM

Keep it up girlie!!! Try to stay positive!!!

We are behind you cheering you on!!!

You can do it!!

nikegurl · 06-17-2002, 10:41 AM

keep believing j'bo. you don't need to look great this week. you need to look great on Saturday and you will!

you're doing great!

J'Bo · 06-17-2002, 10:54 AM

Hey is anyone else having problems using the quick reply?
I keep getting signed out and it deletes my messages.
This is really starting to annoy me, sure does test the patience.

Thanks girls for the encouragement, i really need it right now.

I am having problems digesting protein shakes and raw veggies, does anyone have any ideas on replacements for shakes? Or just have a chicken breast? Do any of you find it hard to digest shakes the last week before comps?

Let me know.

I will feel alot better once i go to gymnastics tonight and see all the girls i competed with last month. They will be routing for me at the comp.

J'Bo · 06-17-2002, 10:56 AM

Hey DP!

Got to 7.5 liters yesterday.
Going to hit 8-9 today.

My favorite new hang out is the bathroom.
