BritChick's Off-Season Journal

[BritChick]

It's kind of comforting at least to know that so many of you deal with the same issues surrounding the diet!

I've tried to tell my myself I am now a national level figure competitor and if I want to stay one I need to eat like one... trouble is these little chats with myself don't often work... I end I'm saying "I am a national level figure competitor who really really REALLY wants a burger and ice cream!"... of course the part of the sentence I hear and acknowledge is usually the latter half!

 

[PreMier]

I thought you didnt like icecream?

And hearing about the strain lol

Even though your weights arent going up, your front/side lateral raises are impressive!

 

[Sapphire]

I think I just had a cheat WEEK!! I ate bagels and bread and pasta and chips and chocolate!!! BUT I was on vacation!!

Hey PreMier as I wrote that I actually got a wicked craving for a DQ Fudge Brownie thingymajig ... and I have to say the fudge and chocolate sauce was the real draw!

As for the strain as I guess I'm not as flexible as I used to be!
Mind you I don't I ever could 'pretzel' very well.

Oh man... that sounds pretty awesome to me!!!!!!!!!

 

[PreMier]

I can already tell I am going to be real bored without chatting tonight. *sigh*

 

[BritChick]

You at work Jake?

 

[PreMier]

Yes I am always at work. Was a good 3day weekend though.

 

[BritChick]

So now what am I supposed to do huh?

 

[PreMier]

Join the boredom club with me?

Hey I should have also mentioned that not only do I have a sprained groin but Rod took the day off work as he put his back out! lol

Just got back from taking the kids to their first (and last) Karate lesson... so much for that, they hated it with a passion and begged me not to make them go again! lol
Too bad the instuctor was pretty damn cute.

 

[PreMier]

Im.. speechless. You kids need to be more careful, maybe do some warmup sets lol

What kind of karate did the kids go to?

LOL you're the best Jill!
I was just debating whether I wanted to admit this morning in my journal that last night at 1am I got up and had two protein bars... damn, those cookie and cream ones are good AND a trail mix bar and a can of diet coke... whoops! What's F1? I think you're little treat was probably healthier than mine and probably didn't contain so many calories.
Well I guess at least you've solved my dilema of whether to confess or not! lol
I think I will add it to yesterdays meals though so I don't have to cut myself short today!

Pah... I really need to stop doing this.

Just read about your cardio session this morning... yeesh, don't like days like that, I've had a few, seems like sometimes the caffeine and fat burners just don't sit well on an empty tummy.

Good luck with your new video tonight. I have a few vids that I do at home occasionally, I like my step reebok ones... I also have a lot that just collect dust!

 

[Jill]

We were both bad girls..... F1=fiber 1. Oh I think we are equal...I ate a lot of F1 and skim milk!

I have made a small connection...the days i limit my carbs are the nights I get up and eat. No more low carbie for Jillie.

 

[Velvet]

Yeah even now after one week of cleaning up my diet (and it's a lot cleaner than it's was!) it's getting easier, it seems like if I can get one full week under my belt then momentum keeps me going.

Cheat days tend to screw me up, probably because I have noooo moderation. On cheat days I usually eat until I am in pain... and then... continue eating like I will never be allowed to taste such things as chocolate ever again... it's very sad! lol

What I am trying to do now is instead eating crap for my cheat meals is just consuming more calories one or two days per week.

I find if I have a cheat day and eat junk it usually lasts for several days before I pull my shit together again and then I go through all the feeling of guilt and failure etc.

OH BOY, do I ever hear ya Brit...I feel the exact same way after cheats, but that's a good thing, that's what keeps us moving towards our goals and not 'falling off the proverbial wagon'!

I like to blame my dad for my wicked sweet teeth, let's face it he started me drinking tea at about 3 yrs with 5 tsp of sugar and cereal always had a nice cm thick coating of the white stuff! lol

Oh yes and I just remembered the banana and brown sugar sandwiches and strawberries and condensed milk sandwiches he would make me!

OMG Brits...did you have to give me any more ideas than I needed? I don't have a sweet tooth per se, but when it comes to condensed milk (and cheesecake), I may binge....
DO NOT FEED THE ELEPHANTS!!!! .....because we love condensed milk

a quote from Velvet's journal:

Who will be doing your tan for you? That's always SUCH a fun experience. lol
My husband did mine for three comps but Nationals he didn't attend so myself and another competitor spent the two days before running around naked painting one another... talk about getting to know your fellow competitors!

No contests now for me until April... it's time to grow!

I told missus NT about this, she smiled devilously

I could imagine such a scene.
