Hi ALL
I am going to start a jounal in this forum, to help me on my way to a compeitive body.
I told my story a bit in the training thread, even posted pics. First time I ever posted on a message board before, but I was on mm.com for W8s first post! I have been an on and off lurker for a handful a years...What was one expected to do living on the island of Guam for 2....Now though, I am in Hawaii for the next year or 2 and am settled in...Now is the time to write a journal, and have some support in my goals. I dieted long ago to prepare for a show in Guam, and I will say that the come down into my post contest bodyfat was VERY tough(also considering the work I do) I deveolped a slight, and at times full blown ED, that took A LOOOOOONG time to get over. You get such positive reinforcment for being underweight, and even more so if you happend to have ABS...It was diffuclt, I worked with a nutritionist, RD actually who bodybuilds, and he got me to realize that I need to be healthy formost, not 9% bodyfat foremost...Although contests require low bodyfat, I know that I am not prepared mentally nor physiclly to take that plunge at this time.... I am accetping W8s advice, and will LEAN OUT and then work on size gains. I find this to be a good game plan...Of course all us women usually want to lean out, I was taking it to extemes and trying to diet crazy for too long..And then I found myself doing the not eating thing(hard to squat heavy on low cals for a year).I have tried to compete 2 more times but my food intake got a little funny, so, I realized I needed to normalize my weight, and train hard....Now is the time to develop a real goal....I know I have not reached total potiential at this point, because of the dreaded ED, and crazy training scheduale that I once had....I am prepared to log my training, and ask for any critques along the way... A lot of you have helped me through some times, even though you don't even know it...I have watched the struggles and the accomplishments of many of you for a long time...You all seem to really care about each other, and it is a touching thing in todays day and age.... I will post my diet and training next in another post... Just wanted to say HI, and I am doing the journal thing danilee |

Craig,
Well you are close, Navy was MARRIED TO IT, NOT ANYMORE...Moved to Guam as part of HIS 4 year tour, then said to heck with it, and got on a military jet, they would not fly me any futher than Hawaii without an active duty member(and he was in Japan)....I am very happy here though, but looks like I will be going to New York city next, N carolina then perhaps Germany(can you guess which service I am engaged to Now Must be a Karma thing this military connection I have...This time he is an officer, and my job plays a big role and causes issues with the politics of it...Oh wait totally off topic...I am a rambler, well nice stuff to add to my journal anyways danilee |
