Hey Jodie!! Your big day is getting closer!! I looked at your pictures in the Online Comp section and WOW!! You have done AWESOME!! Your body is so, so, so, .................. Perfect!!! Your going to kick major ass this Saturday

Thank you Andrea! I hope I do well, but I'm not gonna say I will, you never know who is going to show up.

 

[naturaltan]

Jodie ... you keep repeating this "you don't know who is going to show up" everytime someone wishes you well ... who do you mean?

 

[Jodi]

DAMN!! Nice Abs

Jodie ... you keep repeating this "you don't know who is going to show up" everytime someone wishes you well ... who do you mean?

Just means I refuse to put all my eggs in the basket thinking I will walk away with this thing. You never know how hard someone else trained or dieted, they may look a hell of alot better than I do. Hence my saying.."you never know who will show up"

 

[JLB001]

DAMN!! Nice Abs

Thank you Jodi!

 

[JLB001]

[Sapphire]

WOW! Those are some rocking abs!

 

[shortstuff]

Holy crap those are super nice apartments!!! They look like spendy lofts you would buy. Oh and HOLY CRAP on your abs!!!!!!!!

 

[DrChiro]

Ok..those apartments look awesome.

Find out how much of a discount you get if you work there (cause they are expensive)...and i noticed their pet policy was 2 pets under 25 pounds each.

we need to get the dogs on diets....or cut off a leg or two.

damn....when it rains here it doesn't mess around...it's already flooded all over Pasadena...no patients come in when it rains......this sucks!

 

[naturaltan]

Ok...here it is. My pants kinda just hang on me. I think my hip bones hold them up.

ummmmm ... there is some women out in Texas that are going to this comp saying the exact same thing you're saying ... you don't know who is going to show up and in what kind of shape they'll be in ... but you're the one who they're referring to! Nice abs!!

 

[sara]

Love the ABS!!!

I am not cutting off any legs or putting the fatdog on a diet. LOL

true NT true! But ya neva kno!

 

[JLB001]

I don't feel good. Throat is sore. Fell like pooh in general.
Anything besides C and Zinc?

 

[Jodi]

Grapefruit seed extract

I hope you feel better. That's what I've had the past few days too.

 

[Jodi]

Actuall the exact stuff I use is Nutrabiotics Defense Plus. It's hard to come by but its has grapefruit seed extract in it. I use double the recommended dose and within a day or 2 feel like new. It once got rid of a bad sinus infection I had in 3 days

 

[JLB001]

This sucks. I hate adding things to the mix if I have never had them before. I'll see if I can find it tonight when we get done lifting. I am serioulsy considering calling in sick tomoorw to rest. Can't let it become more than the sore throat crap.
Thank you Jodi.

 

[chauny]

You look terrific! Hope you feel better and good luck with your comp! (by the way this is my very first post) You have truly inspired me!

Jodie ,
You are right, you never know who will show up . But I gaurantee there will be many who will wish they hadn't after they see you !!!!
Great job !

 

[JLB001]

Thank you Chauny. What are the goals you have set for yourself? If you need anything let us know.

 

[chauny]

I would love to lose about 7lbs of fat while keeping the bit of muscle I've worked so hard to attain. It's a daily challenge, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I enjoy reading about your progress and I'll definitely let ya'll know if I need anything. I think it's wonderful how everyone here supports each other.

 

[Stacey]

Omg Your Abs From Today!! They Are Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stacey]

I hope you feel better honey!! Try and stay home and rest tomorrow!!!!

I drove by those apartments--they are AWESOME!!! I could only DREAM to live there!

I haven't seen them yet Stacey. They look awesome!
I'm feeling somewhat better, I think its just work that made me sick.

Chauny, keep plugging along and it will come. Takes time. You can hold onto the muscle while dropping the fat.

The journal was started way back when (I think I have three outlining the progress) I was wanting to track my progress and for others to see that sticking to your goals can bring a good outcome. In the porcess of having the journals here, I have made some wonderful great friends. I think the world of them all. Their support and help is inmeasureable to me and helping me stay on track. I owe part of this to you guys here and the other part to my awesome boyfriend who puts up with me daily.

 

[Stacey]

Jodie I'm glad your feeling better--Yeah WORK will do that to you--haha!!

I think I'm getting better myself..day by day. Just taking it slow! I know my insides still need lots of healing though!!!

 

[JLB001]

Workout for tonight was a little of all upper body parts, no legs and no cardio. Have to let the legs calm down for a few days.

Tomorrow morning we meet with Jon for the last bodyfat measurements, not sure if we will meet with him on Friday. I would think that we would since we pull off sodium tomorrow at 5pm and up the water intake even more to about 2 gallons per day. Someone send Depends! I'll be in the every 20 mins.

PecDec 2 x 15 @ 50
Standing laterals 2 x 15 @20
Front raises 2 x 15 @ 15
21's for bi's 2 x 21 @ 50
lat. pulldowns 2 x 15 @ 70
rope pressdowns 2 x 15 @30,40
light abs 1 set of 8 to the front and sides on that chair thing.

Tanned for 20 mins, had turkey and salad for dindin. Have to finish the turkey tomorrow before 5 since I have seasoning and salsa. Then switching to eggs and fish up to Friday's dindin. I think eggs and fish will taste better with the Mrs. Dash or Dill stuff.

Bonnie called. Suit is inroute! Just learned that Friday everything is closed including the Post Office so it better be here by Thursday! Or I will be hunting down our mail lady at the butt crack of dawn on Saturday morning.

Andi also informed me that there are two in my class. I know her, so I am not too worried. Craig is trying to convince me to worry about the overall. I dunno about that.

Stacey...do you think you will still be able to make it Saturday? We can send someone to pick u up. Kinda special delivery. Of coarse this is if you feel up to coming. We want you better first and foremost.

 

[Stacey]
