Jodi, just wanted to let you know that your in my prayers and I'm sure you'll kick butt double time at your next competition

 

[Jenny]

Oh Jodi, I'm so sorry to hear this Your health is number one and number one only. There will be more competitions and whenever you'll be ready you will kick some ass. Things like this can really take you back and once again realise what really is important in life You're in my thoughts Jodi I'll think happy thoughts for ya

Btw, I got all the tests we talked about in PM done and hopefully that'll give me some answers. Thank you so much for your help, you really are the IM angel We all learn so much from you sweetie and you really have a whole bunch of friends here who wants to be here for you. If you ever need to talk, you know I'm there

 

[Jodi]

Thank you very much Andrea.

Jenny, thank you so much sweetie. You really have been a great friend. Pm me and let me know how your tests came out when you get the results.

Jodi, just catching up. My dear you have been through alot. I am SO sorry to hear of this situation, but you are a very strong woman and I know that all will be better again in the end. Your health is sooooo sooo much more important than a competition. If the time comes again when you feel things are good enough then we all know your drive and hard work will still be there to hit stage once again. Until then take care of yourself the best you can and your certainly in my prayers, only wish you the very best!!!

I missed this post somehow. I'm really sorry to hear about the bad news Jodi. I hope everything goes well and you can get back to doing what you love soon. Good luck and always feel free to vent to your IM buddies.

Damn, I am really sorry to hear this. I know that you are a VERY strong woman, and everything will work out for the better. Like Jill said, if you ever need anything, just ask I havent prayed for a long time.... but I think I will start again, and you will be in my prayers.

[Jill]

Are you going to still post your eating/training??? I miss it.....I think Im speaking for many........

Hope you are feeling ok. Hopefully you will still be able to make it to the 'O'!

 

[Jodi]

Jen, Var and P Thank you all so much.

Jill - I'm feeling fine physcially thank you I probably won't bother posting what I'm eating and lifting. It would be a waste of time IMO. I'm still in limbo as to what to do. I started talking with TP today about it and looking for suggestions. I think I'm just going to go on a maintenance program, still not sure yet if it will be carb cycling or maybe a 40/40/20 I've already added things like dairy back into my diet. As a matter of fact I just came back from having coffee with Scott. I had a SF Swiss Chocolate FF Latte

Got any peanut butter in the house again, yet?

 

[Jodi]

No but I still eat peanuts every night

 

[Jodi]

I decided to open up this journal again. I probably won't be posting meals and workouts and that wasn't the point of re-opening it.

1. I hate starting new journals 2. Sometimes I have things I want to say about what's going on in life or maybe it's something I'm excited about or something I did or something I'm sad about or whatever the case is..........anyway, well I have no where to put it. I don't want to just put it in someones elses journal or some random thread so I figured I needed a place to put my thoughts or events in my life. 3. I miss talking to some of you and PM's suck ass! LOL!

So now you guys and gals are stuck with my journal again except instead of reading what I'm doing in the gym you can read more about what I'm doing in life. I know boring, ah well. It's for me anyway, so there

Read at your own risk because I have my moments of crankiness as most of you know.

 

[Novo]

Excellent

I'm a monkey for wanting to say hi to you and the boy with the skinny legs. Now I can do both

 

[sara]

I missed this journal

 

[Jill]

Nice I was wondering about what happened to this thread. especially after reading about your planned refeed of trioplex bars!

Glad to be reading your journal once again.

 

[Jodi]

Thanks girls. Actually I've developed this fascination with Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal lately. That and Quaker Oh's are my favorites. I'm finishing off a box that I opened earlier today right now. I'm thinking a grilled ff cheese sandwich is next.

Damn, Novo..........FOOD WOMEN FOOD.........You just don't know what your missing

I never made it to Hi-Health to pick up the Trioplex bars so that will be next weekend. I did go out for breakfast this morning though and had Cinnamon Roll French Toast and a Blueberry Muffin

I refeed twice a week but only one of the refeeds has bad foods Funny thing is that I've actually lost 1/2" off thighs, 3/4" off waist and 1/2" off hips since maintaining, so I can't complain

 

[Jill]

What do you eat like the rest of the time??? Approx macros? No more c cycling?

 

[Jodi]

I don't count. I just eat. I edited my post above. I'm just maintaining.

 

[sara]

Cereal w. LC Milk or Cottage Cheese sounds great for a refeed

 

[Jill]

Just eat??? Nice

 

[Jodi]

Refeeds are all about the carbs, not the protein. I don't eat any additional protein on refeeds. Just all carbs.

 

[Jodi]

Just eat??? Nice

Just eat

 

[Jill]

So are you saying 1 meal a week would be a 'cheat' meal, and the other a re-feed being high carb, low fat, mod p?

 

[Jodi]

Yup, that's what I do because I'm maintaining. It's actually 2 days of refeeds but only 1 cheat meal on 1 day.

 

[Jill]

Cheat meals....

How are you feeling physically? Any word about having surgery?

 

[Jodi]

I feel fine thank you. I have my biopsy next week.

 

[Jill]

I hope everything goes well. I would LIKE to meet you in Vegas this fall

 

[sara]

Jill, Jodi looks great!
Are you going to sleep in the hospital or you going home?

 

[Jodi]

Jill, I should be there. I better be there anyway

Thanks Sara. I don't know yet regarding the surgery. The biopsy I'll be driving myself home immediately. No biggie, well, except for the needle.

Ok, enough talk about this please

 

[sara]

let's talk about Trioplex bars
