Cool, mildly freaky... but still pretty cool.

Congrats on the shoot, I'm sure you'll look great. Dont get silly the night before though Cause then w8 will come over and there'll be a cat fight, wait a minute there, perhaps I spoke too quickly...

Diet looks good, and wkout too of course. Good luck at the shoot tomorrow!

Hey chickie,

How did your photoshoot go?

 

[CLPgold]

Well, Thursday was a no go. I woke up with laringitis and Dan was leaving for Moab for 2 weeks and didn't want to get sick. So we're rescheduling in 2 weeks time. Which is great because my diet and training has been right on track and I'll be even leaner. I figure I'll be about 118-120lb in 2 weeks. I don't want to drop too fast now. I'm getting nervous. There's still over 7 weeks to go and I don't want to lose any muscle.

I've been super busy, and sick, so haven't been logging. But I have not missed any training and the diet has been awesome. Haven't even had a cheat day! Can't seem to shake the congestion and stuffed up nose.

And..............I still have not had any beer!!! Woo hoo! It's working for me.

I met a great guy named Rick Oliver. He owns Dymatize nutrition and has 2 websites. A co worker who knows me had hyped me up to him. So he came into work to meet me and actually started taking pictures of me right in the club! He was so nice. We're going to do a photo shoot 1week before Musclemania and then he's going to put me up on his site.

w8 let me know if I'm allowed to give out the URL for the site. I don't want to break any rules LOL

Still haven't been able to schedule a time with Scott Appleby between my work schedule and his super hectic shooting schedule.

Then, I'm supposed to be in Toronto on Friday to go for an interview with Max Models. They scouted me on Apr.27 at the comp. I was prepared to go, but then Saturday night I met a guy at the bar who is a film maker. He ran to his car and gave me a whole list of casting agencies. He also told me to skip Max Models cuz they eventually send their people to an agency called Converse. I'm not really interested in any acting though. I might go, I'm not sure yet. I really don't feel like going up there this Friday though so I'm going to see if I can reschedule. But now I also have a whole huge list of important people to check out thanks to buddy at the bar!

This is all just so blowing my mind and all happening so fast! I don't know where to start now. I do know that I want to keep my main focus on Musclemania for now. I've put too much time and effort to stop.

I'm so excited. I'm really, really, really happy with my physique right now. I should get some pics done LOL! Yeah.

I'm not going to log anything today again. I just don't want to haha. I will start tomorrow. I won't be logging in my weekends at all though. Only Mon-Fri.

OK, enough blabbing.

 

[w8lifter]

Excellent CLP!!! things sound great for you!

Definitely post that link, we all wanna see you

I think I'm gonna diet for the musclemania starting right now! lol....I'm not competing but I need a goal

 

[Stacey]

Thats great news CLP!! CONGRATS! WOW you have lots of people watching you!! I don't think you should give up on the musclemania either...
KEEP IT UP!! I am soo happy for you!

Oh.. and get better soon!

 

[lina]

Wow chickie, things are falling in place for you! Very exciting and we'll be following you along the way!

 

[CLPgold]

Wow Wednesday already. I am sooooo tired.

Sleep: 5hr again!

11:30am
1 Lean Body Dble.Choc. Protein Bar

Um, that's it so far today. I have no appetite. I'm just exhausted. I need to catch up on my sleep.

I also think I'm going to take about 6 months off work. I have so many other things on the go right now. My goals and dreams are finally becoming reality and I don't want to pass anything up because of work. Plus my job, which I love, sucks the life out of me LOL. Ask anybody who works there!

Right now I need to focus on Musclemania, and all the photo shoots and hopefully potential work coming my way. Working full time, raising 4 kids, and training doesn't allow time for much else. Something has to go and my kids aren't 18 yet LMAO I am going to enjoy this summer and spend many long days at the beach and parks with my children finally before they are grown up!

OK I made myself some food cuz I do need to eat:
3:15pm
1 salad: romaine and green leaf lettuce, radicchio, bean sprouts, tomatoes, 1 1/2tbsp. raw sunflower seeds, 4oz.chicken, 2tbsp.Janapese dressing.

I'll have more time to hang out here too! LOL.

10:15pm
1salad: same as above except no sunflower seeds, 7oz.of chicken and 3tbsp.dressing

 

[Stacey]

I think you are doing the best thing for you, and for your children!!! Take it easy with them honey, and enjoy yourself!!
Your right, YOU HAVE A LOT going on!!!
I would take a break from your job too if I were you, and if you can financially..gooooo FOR IT!!

Hey, is that CLP?

She's hot!

You know CLP... when its good, you just cant get enough. Umm, sleep that is.

Well, sorry to hear the shoot didnt happen... glad to hear that it will in a few more weeks, and then more shoots on top of that! Coolness. Nice to hear that you have held off the beer a bit, definitely hard to lean up with Labatt flowing through your veins

Hmm, strawberry/banana muffins? You didnt send me the recipe for that one! Time to check the recipe section.

 

[CLPgold]

Hi Eggie!!!

Yeah, not getting enough, not really any at all! Sleep that is LMFAO!

Not gonna drink again this weekend.

Had my stats done again. Weight is back up to 128.5lb and bodyfat is at 9.5%. I might have to compete in the heavyweights. I don't want to sacrifice any muscle this time. Hmmmm. Have to be very careful on this one. I do want to be 115lb ripped. Don't want to blow it. Got 7 weeks and 3 days left.

Ah, think positive eh? I can do it!

 

[Stacey]

You can do it CLP!!!
How tall are u by the way???

AND YEA!!! No beer this weekend too.. I know thats gonna be kinda hard...but you are doing really good with that!!
Keep it up!!

 

[CLPgold]

I'm gone again for the weekend out of town, so I won't be logging Fri-Sun. Doing Bi's and Tri's tomorrow at a gym somewhere.

Saw SH#1 today. We're going for a jog tomorrow. Then I'm gonna hook up with him at his work Sunday night when I get back in town. Then dinner and a movie sometime next week before he leaves me!

Saw SH#2 too. Really could care less anymore. Just like to look at him.

Me and the hottie I met from Cleveland have been emailing eachother everyday. I'd love him to come up to Musclemania. He's going to try. If not I'm headed down there when I can find the time. I've got to see that boy again!

Anyways...today was shoulders.

[dvlmn666]

CLP, you can do it. Just think positive and keep workin on it. You've done awesome so far.

congrats on all the photo shoots by the way.

 

[w8lifter]

CLP...I forget, which one is the one from the show...#1 or #2

 

[CLPgold]

SH#1 was at the show.

Thanks guys!!!

Went for a 40min.jog outside. It was awesome. I just couldn't stop. Then it started raining the last 15min. and it was great!!! It was warm still. I so didn't want to stop, but it was getting late, and I had to pee real bad LOL.

 

[CLPgold]

Alright, alright I'm slacking with the logging. But not with anything else. Diet and training are going awesome. This is my last super heavy week. Yahoo!!! My body definitely needs some recovery right about now. I can't wait to drop my weights next week and change exercises! Oh the excitment!

I should hopefully have some pics done by next Friday. If not the Friday after for sure. I need to see my progress.

Saw Rick Oliver today working out. He's the one taking my pics the week before comp. These are his websites:

www.bicepboy.com

www.bicepgirlz.com

I have to recheck the links to make sure though. Yup that's them.

He's redoing the sites so it's just the front page for now.

So, I'll be retired soon LMAO. The word is out and I've talked to my supervisor. I'm hoping to be done NOW!!! But that's not happening. I still have 12 clients so I'm really hoping to finish off their training in 2 weeks. That would be nice, but realistically I'm probably there maybe into July still. I need a break so f*****g bad right now. Except for training. It's all about concentrating and focusing on my training and future. And of course being able to say YES to my children when they want my time. My manager is giving me a year free membership for the 2 years I've put in with the company. By then I may be back personal training again. It's all about getting free stuff right? I like free memberships and free daycare. They're my priorities.

Ah, a bluejay just landed on my roof. I can see it's tail and ass hanging over my roof from my computer window. I'm sure it's going to take a big poop so I'm going to stop looking now... LOL

I'm scrubbing down the fort today. That way I don't have to clean all weekend. And I have to account for all my clients sessions and payments. Wil wants me to come back and do his cycling class, but I probably won't make it. I'll go for an outdoor jog instead tonight. And a tan in the MONSTER BED. This tanning bed is huge. It could fit 2 people hehe.

K, well I must be on my cleaning venture. The fun.

 

[w8lifter]

lmao...you're so funny girl

So what are ya gonna do if you're not personal training?

 

[CLPgold]

AAGGHHHHH!!!!!!

What will I do if I'm not personal training? I'm going to have a life! I will be able to log stuff again LOL cuz it's a priority. I'll spend lots of time with my children. Actually take my poor dogs for a walk. Honestly, I haven't walked my doggies in at least 4-5months!!! Isn't that awful! I'll also do a lot of baking ( I have some recipes to perfect, working on some business), I'll finally plant my garden and get the weeds out of it. I'll have time to sit on my patio with my children and have a BBQ. Take my children to Canada's Wonderland, Lion Safari, the beach etc.

Very importantly I can focus on my training, sleep, nutrition and my mental and physical health. And whatever work comes my way from the photo shoots and other opportunities.

Right now I'm just a mess. Just exhausted all the time and very irritable. Living off 5hrs. of sleep a night for weeks and months on end is really taking it's toll on me lately.

I've still been very good with my training and diet. Haven't had any beer either.

I will get pics up soon. I need to find the time to get ready and take them...

 

[Burner02]

Hey!
Been reading up on your goings on the past whiler back! Youare doing great!
Keep at it. Looks like you are moving some impressive #'s!

My friend's wife just got back to the weight she was before she became pregnant. I asked if she was thinking about putting on a little mass now. I told her about you and W8, thinking y'all have about the same bodytypes. You might be hearing from her.
Anyway, keep it up!

 

[CLPgold]

Had a crappy sleep as usual. A neighbor's baby was up all night crying and the stupid, f*****g, lazy a$$ed woman wouldn't do a thing about it. I was ready to call the cops. The poor little thing cried for 2 hours straight. Another neighbor finally came out to her yard and screamed at her to take care of her child. An hour and a half later the poor thing was up again and the mother did nothing. HELLO!!! GOOD, DIAPER CHANGE, HUGS, LOVE

SOMETHING!!!!! Gee willickers! What an idiot! It happened once last week too. If it keeps up I'm definitely calling someone in to get that poor baby some better care. And get me some sleep.

Ate good yesterday and today so far. Didn't make it back into the gym for my workout yesterday so I missed a back workout.

I already trained chest and abs today. I'm hopefully going to squeeze in back and cardio tonight amongst a million other things I need to get done! It never ends!

Dropped the weights and switched exercises. It was such a good mental and physical break. Still did push ups w/ a 35lb plate on my back, but it seemed minor compared to our heavy workouts.

Still no time to really log or keep track of food and stuff. Just letting you know that it's all good. I'm happy with what the mirror is showing me. Now I just need to get some pics done so I can really tell what need improvement.




Oh, I'm also off the creatine as of last Friday. Started Glutamine last Wednesday so I'll see how my recovery, stress levels, and immune function do. Also invested in Melaleuca's Cell-Wise antioxidant. It has natural VitE, VitC, B Vitamins, zinc and selenium. Hmmm I think that's it. If it has more I'll have to read the label.

 

[CLPgold]

I finally got 8 hrs sleep last night. In order to get it I had to go to bed at 7:00pm and wake up at 8:30am. Sad eh? But the kids were up, my oldest daughter came home at 10:00pm, huggie bear didn't go to bed until 11:30pm and was babbling all night. Had to get up to drink water and pee about 6x. Ate a chicken breast at 12:30am etc...

I still don't feel any better. My poor body and brain need so much more. So tonight I'm aiming to get my butt to bed again early. I also have clients starting at 7:00am. Can't wait to be done!!!

Trained legs and calves today. It was great. Did my back workout too since I didn't last night. And stretched. We're doing doing a 12, 10, 8 rep weight workout now. My reps have been a little higher than that since I've dropped the weight. Didn't drop the weight much though. I'm actually still going a lot heavier than I thought I would. It's hard to go back, but I know my body needs more recovery. Especially just before the comp. For sure the last 2-3weeks - when my fruit goes LOL- I will drop the weight more. Haven't done any cardio yet since Sunday. Gonna try to jog tonight after I scrub the house down.

Diet's been good . There's a couple things I could tweak such as timing, amounts and what of course. I haven't cut out fruit yet. I still have some every morning with breakfast. Usually I like my 1/2grapefruit, but I ran out so it's been super yummie sweet seedless water melon. It's so good. I'm leaning up so well I probably won't cut fruit out until the last 2-3weeks. I seem to be maintaining my lean tissue nicely. I know I was panicking about losing it, but it's still looking good.

Dan Galic called last night. He's back from his trip so we scheduled a photo shoot for Tuesday, June25/02. I am so excited!!! Got some hot new bikinis and a couple new pairs of sexy super slut shoes.

That's the update for now.

 

[w8lifter]

Mmm....love the sexy slut pumps

So do you have a routine yet or is this going to be a make it up as you along one....which still amazes me!

 

[lina]

Hey CLP!

Sounds like you are supa busy!!!! Are you a PT at a gym? Admire your dedication and focus here! Very inspiring!!!! Will you be posting any pics from your photoshoot for us?

hey tomorrow is Thursday... I remember you were gonna visit a certain someone then.... post away da details!!!

Hope you have a good one!

Oh, yeah those slut pumps... I call them Cinderella shoes, the see-through-glass looking ones... lol!

 

[CLPgold]

I am definitely going to find the time to come up with a posing routine and practice it a lot. I realize I'm running out of time, but right now I don't have any spare moments. I need a good 1-2hours solid a day or else I can't even start. A very nice, good looking young man I met is going to get my music mixed next week. He mixes Stephanie Worsfold's music and a few other people's. He was Allison Ethier's cheerleading partner for 4 years in university. The world is small eh? He also dated Mindy (from WNSO) for 2 years. The world gets smaller!. He invited me over for a BBQ Sunday, but I've got other plans...so I'm hoping Monday.

Had about 7hr sleep. Still need a lot more over the next few months. For sure I have to keep it up until Musclemania.

Trained shoulders today. I love training shoulders. It's almost a day off, or an easy day for me. Not that we don't train hard, but I've worked my shoulders so hard over the years to put size on them, that now it's nothing to work them compared to other muscle groups.

Haven't really eaten much yet today. I've been busy. Didn't get all the house scrubbing done yesterday either so I'm finishing it today. And giving my huggie bear a good scrub down too. I let him loose with the dogs in the backyard yesterday and today and he's full o' dirt. He's pretty happy about it though.

Lina, SH#1 is off in Colorado today and tomorrow for his wrestling. He's back Saturday, but I'm away this weekend (again). On my way into town Sunday night I'm going to stop in at his work and wait til he closes.

I've got 2 pair of the 'Cinderella' shoes. 1 pair is notorious to walk in, but will look great in a photo shoot. I just picked up 2 new pairs too. One pair is from Le Chateau and they're black. Super funky, and sexy. The other pair is silver and very classy, sexy. Both are quite high, but not stilletos.

That's today's update so far. Haven't done any cardio at all this week. It's OK though. My body really needs a little break from at least something.

Have a great weekend everyone if I don't get back on til it's over
