84 Days To Musclemania - 12 Weeks!!!

[CLPgold]

AGAIN, here I AM!!! No I am not Sam I am. And I will not go, don't you know. Until I tell you what I think you need to know. Hahahahahahahaha. Hell I haven't had a drink since about 4:30pm. That's just WRONG I TELL YOU!!! I'm just very very very very very very very very tired. I will go to bed soon. Just updating you on my next little adventure with my body> LMFAO sounds kinda kinky eh? WELL IT"S NOT> THIS IS SERIOUS> I WANT TO WIN THE MUSCLEMANIA LIGHTEWEIGHT DIVISION And if I don't get some f****'n sleep soon I will have gone completely mental. OK< well more mental. Goodnight kids!

 

[Lightman009]

Dude its 4:00 am and I am not even ready for bed. Drink more caffeine and beer!

 

[w8lifter]

OMG!!! Girl...do you not rest? I can't believe you've started another journal already You're nuts, lol!!!

Did you have fun yesterday.....CLP brought home a motherload of goodies....a freaken shopping bag full of cut-up protein bar samples...hilarious!

What did you eat on the way home? ...I had a wendy's burger...OMG, I haven't had fast food in forever, and an ice cream thingy from there...I also got a baked potato, but I couldn't eat it....I felt like a kid eating my ice cream though

I hope those pics turn out of us and Eva! She's pretty fun eh? This was an awesome show cause I finally had time to hang out and get to know some of the other girls that I've competed w/ before, it was great!

 

[w8lifter]

Oh...and I just wanted to say...you looked awesome this show.....not binging & drinking right before a show works for you ....keep that up CLP, and you'll kick ass at MM!

 

[CLPgold]

Thanks w8 I'm definitely going to be much more disciplined this time around with my binging at least. I find if I don't try to cut back on drinking I don't stress and binge on junk food or just overeat in general. Beer does my body good. If I can have my beer I can stay on track.

Sleep: 4 1/2hr. What's new? Not to worry I'm going back to bed after this. I'm still super full from eating not to many hours ago. I decided I should start off with breakfast at the usual time though.

8:30am
2ezone energy bars
1very large orange
5cp water
I feel so full again I feel yucky!

11:00am
Today is turning out to be a protein bar day LOL
2ezone energy bars - or equivalent

12:00pm
1bar

1:00pm
1ezone bar
1Labrada bar - Texas Pecan Pie to be exact LOL

How many calories, carbs and fat have I ingested now? We'll find out at the end of the day when Fitday tallies it all up.

Oh and I'm drinking my beers now. Got a 6pack of the tall 473ml cans o'blue light and one HUGE 950ml of Blue.

And I've been drinking a tonne of water!!!

 

[CLPgold]

When I wake up again I'm gonna head into Walmart and get my pics developed

I'm also going to start keeping track of my food at Fitday. It's just very tough sometimes cuz I eat such a variety when I'm training for lean mass. And it's hard to customize my foods sometimes too cuz I often cook mass quanitites of such things as muffins and it's hard to break down.

 

[CLPgold]

Got the pics back!!! I really like most of them. Except my face looks weird in some. Like my nose looks huge and my face is pale. Oh well. Considering I had a makeshift studio again with the eldest daughter doing the shoot LOL, they're pretty good

I'm gonna post up a mini pic gallery in the pic gallery area

My training partner has already called and we've booked our next week. Yeah!!! I told him I'm leaving all the training in his hands so I can concentrate on the nutrition end of things. I'm soooooo excited about this. I want to go in the Musclemania at a super solid, super ripped 115lb. I'd rather stay a little smaller for the summer too. Got some hotties to work on!

Picked up a beautiful prime rib at the store today, to compliment the T-Bone I picked up at the 24hr. IGA last night LOL. I"M HAVING ME SOME KICK ASS STEAK TONIGHT!!!. They're already marinating in olive oil, Kraft garlic BBQ sauce, onions and Montreal Steak Spice. YUMMI! Got my cottage cheese and some more butter today. Gonna clarify my butter at least so it's not too unhealthy.

Chores to finish:
Put my duvet cover on
Make cream o veggie soup - will post recipe
Make my salad and the dressing
Post on this forum LOL

....can't w8!

 

[CLPgold]

I'm still scannin LOL. I've got the sports wear ones developed with you and Eva, but I haven't finished off the other roll with the evening wear. I really want to see those. I guess I should maybe take some good pics of my wittle ones when they're dressed up a bit.

I've decided I"m also going to keep track of my alcohol/calorie intake. Right now for the day I'm almost at 1900cals and it's only 3:30pm. Hehe. That's OK. I scored myself a Tshirt from just about every supplement booth so as I can hide my big ol self whilst I work this overeating off over the next few days. I look at the bright side, at least I'll have lots of fuel for whatever training tactics my training parter (Wil whom we shall refer to as Wil from now on instead of 'the training partner) throws my way.

BTW, Wil was at the show but he missed me on stage. They saw me around 2:00pm out in the crowd with Eva, and thought I was busy so they didn't come over and chat. Duh> Big poophead that he is.

 

[realdeal]

You looked great on stage, i hope to see you in July for the Muscle Mania!!

until then, train hard, and diet even harder!!!

 

[CLPgold]

Thankyou RD

Well I ate so much I couldn't keep track today. Let's just assume I ingested over 5,000cals including my beer LMAO> Oh I'm baaaaadddd.......

I will list the foods I ate, just not quantities or times:

About 6 more energy bars - give or take since I was munching on all the cut up samples.
baked potato
1%cottage cheese
green onions
clarified butter
carrots
sea salt
BBQ sauce
Montreal Steak Spice
onions
garlic
tomatoes
artichoke
T-bone steak
prime rib
celery
banana
beer
water
homemade hamburger patty- lean ground beef, onions, garlic, sweet n' sour BBQ sauce, Montreal Chicken and Rib Spice
grapes
pop ugh but it tasted good
I think that's it. Oh gosh my stomach looks like I'm 5months preggo right now. I'm trying with all my might to suck in and it hurts. I don't know how I'm going to sleep right now

I still haven't gotten into my binge stash though. With the amount of good food I'm eating I could care less!

OK well this is Day 1 towards Musclemania. So we'll just consider my fueling up day to get ready for the long haul shall we??? Tomorrow I will be good I promise!

It's almost 10:00pm. If I can fall alseep in the next 1/2hr. I'll get about 7hr. sleep tonight. Not too bad.

 

[CLPgold]

Gonna see Super Hottie #1 tomorrow. And probably Super Hottie #2 (whom I'm head over heels for and have been for quite some time - long story I just avoid that one ). Anyways, I hope SH#1 is doing well. I've been kind of worrying about him. I worried about him on the way home last night too. Hoping he wasn't driving too fast or being silly about anything.

 

[CLPgold]

OK, I'm at work and 2 clients have canceled today already so I'm gonna post my day so far.

Sleep: 6 1/2hr -7 somewhere thereabouts
Feeling very bloated today from all that food. But it was good healthy nutritious food.

8:00am
2Interactive energy bars
water but didn't count how much
forgot to take my vitamins, flax etc.

11:30am
2ezone bars hehe

1:30pm
10grapes

4:00pm
1ezone bar

6:00pm
20grapes

7:00pm
1banana

8:30pm
5oz T-bone w/olive oil, BBQ sauce, sea salt and Montreal Spice
4oz prime rib
1cp baked potato
1/2cp 1%cottage cheese
2 1/2tbsp. clarified butter
1tbsp.green onions
1/4cp. steamed carrots
5grapes
4tsp.apple cider vinegar, 1iron, 1cal/mag, 1multi, 1vitE, 1vitC, 1CoQ10, 1/2tsp.creatine

Total cals: 2,145
Fats: 109gm 978cals 47%
Carbs: 168gm 640cals 31%
Protein: 118gm 473cals 23%

Cals are now at 2268 I think I'm done for the day. I feel HUGE

K just had 2more cps of grapes. Oh and I forgot about the 1/2cp taste testing of homemade cream 0'veggie soup I made. It's probably only about 35cals in total. No fat. Gotta figure out the stats on fitday but there is so much stuff in this soup:
carrots
yams
potatoes
celery
onions
garlic
brocoli
cauliflower
rutabaga
sea salt
water
parsley
oregano
tarragon
basil
rosemary
Montreal Chicken and Rib Spice

I will definitely be adjusting my diet accordingly. I thought for sure I'd ingested way more calories and I even erred on the side of bad when logging it in Fitday just so I wouldn't cheat myself at all.

Haven't kept track of water today. I'll start tomorrow. I'm still feeling quite puffy and retentive right now.

I have to finish off the rest of my bars cuz they're like chocolate bars to me. If they're around I'll keep eating them. So my goal today is to finish off the rest of them. They're almost all gone anyways LMAO. FYI I posted this earlier, the bars are now all gone The kids helped

[nikegurl]

hey - wanted to drop in and tell you how great you looked. your daughter did a great job taking pics!

wow - if you can't wait to go back to lifting heavy those weights must not be heavy for you. i'm feeling really weak seeing that!

i'm 5'9" and have JUST made it up to 35 lb dumbells for presses and you're using them for flyes! wow. i'm impressed!

congrats on everything. are you taking a break from the dieting before you fully start muscle mania prep?

 

[CLPgold]

Hey NG. I'm definitely upping my cals and not eating as super strict. I want to gain some more lean mass over the next 6 weeks so I'll be eating more carbs (fruits, veggies mostly). I'm not a huge pasta or bread eater, but make sure I get my grains in the form of oatmeal, cream o'wheat, kamut and spelt kernels, spelt cereal (just like cream o'wheat), white, wild, brown and red rice, red river cereal, my homemade muffins. I bake using a lot of different varieties of flours and whole grains. OK well I do eat muffins and breads but only what I make at home. I also use a lot of almonds and sunflower seeds in my baking. And I'm even gonna let myself indulge in more natural peanut butter. Just have to use self control to only have 1-2tbsp and not 1cp.

I'm also going back to my cottage cheese and yogourt! Yummi. And just took my fist 1/2tsp. of creatine tonight. Took at least 2 1/2months off of it I think. Hmmm what else. I'll be eating more pork chops, beef and ham again too.

 

[CLPgold]

Hmmm. I ingested 2145cals so far. According to my activities chart, lifestyle and bmr combined I've burned 3150 today. The only reason my stomach is still distended out then must be all damn bloating > let's be honest it's f*****g GAS!!! Eating all those bars I think did it.

[CLPgold]

Hehe w8

It's 1:00am and I can't stay away from the fruit. I just had 1cp of grapes again and a banana. It's good for my body right?

CLP....I never use fitday to keep track of cals burned/activities....I don't think it uses the right numbers for that....I just use it for logging my intake.

 

[CLPgold]

What's a good program to use? I kinda thought I'd had way more cals than that yesterday. Then again I wasn't really eating any crap. A cyclist I train has awesome software for it though. I should probably get it off him tomorrow and download it. It's excellent. He showed it to me on his palm pad. This guy is extremely particular with his diet, even way more than me. I have never seen such massive, super shredded legs in my life!!! No BB I've ever seen even comes close. And this guy stays that way year round! You can see each quad muscle, each hamstring muscle, and even little muscles in the calves all perfectly seperated. And his legs are huge too. YUMMI.

Alright no more food for me tonight...except the bag of roasted peanuts in the shell that I AM FINISHING OFF TONIGHT!!!

1tbsp.veggie soup - I was feeding huggie bear and had to keep licking the bottom of the spoon so it didn't all drip
2 bananas - they were gonna go bad so I salvaged what I could
Working on the peanuts now. Might as well finish em off now or I'll just keep getting tempted. I'll probably have consumed
1 - 1 1/2cp max after all the shells and the yucky ones I've spit out
I am justifying everything I put in my mouth...
Water, lots just haven't kept track

 

[w8lifter]

Well fitday is good and easy, but I also have a a food count book that I check it against because I think it's more accurate and I always check what they've got against whatever is written on the package or whatever...if it differs significantly, I make sure to add it as a custom food and go by that.
