LOL I'm with Jill... I love mushrooms, cooked or raw. :D
I just like to pick em and eat em raw, right from the forest floor. Cooking is for wimps. :flex:

(As a side note, I'm now on first-name basis with most of the ER staff around here. :shrug: )

You guys both hit the nail on the head... it really is all about how bad you want it, Rod and I say that time and time again... it doesn't mean it's easy but if you want it bad enough you'll do the work required to get the results. ;)

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: It's so great that you and your honey are so into fitness! It's awesome to have that kind of support network right in your home :thumb:

I would love to look half as good as Rod.

Yeah, it's great to be able to support each other... my husband puts up with a lot of crap from me when I am pre-contest.
My daughter is going to be very athletic, she's already always wanting to lift weights with mum and work on 'her routine' :laugh: .
We had to go out and buy her some 3lb and 5lb dumbells... it's pretty cute to watch her working out in her fatigues, she already has the makings of a nice six pack and she's only 7... she can do 'real' push ups and will, given half the chance, do sit ups until everyone in the room is sick of watching her. :D

She did gymnastics last year, dance the two years before, right now just swimming, both kids took one Karate lesson and begged me not to take them back... think rock climbing might be on the agenda shortly.
 
that is so awesome! Kids have it better than we did!
Kinda wish I was a father from time to time..but still not ready.
I do have my friend's kids to play with. I am 'uncle mike' to them.
That's nice..but i am still waitng for that day in the hospital to hold a new born baby and know that he / she is mine.
Gotta get a wife first....
:D
 
OH MY GOD!! FANTASTIC!! ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, BOTH OF YOU!! Only seven weeks!! :hot: :hot: :hot: :hot:

OK so what's the secret??? PLEASE!!! :D
 
Could you post a sample of your pre-contest / 7 week transformation diet??? Did you lower cals as you lost weight?
 
Burner... kids certainly do have a lot more activities and stuff than we had as kids!

Sapphire... thanks for stopping by and your comments. :thumb:

Jill... i will find you a sample diet for you... I know I have it somewhere.
I can let you know for now though that I basically just made sure I got adequate protein in the form of chicken, white fish and whey, ate yams, oatmeal and brown rice as main source of carbs, any fruits and veggies that I felt like and still included non-fat dairy in my diet. I didn't decrease my calories as my body weight dropped.
Oh and I still had the obligatory cheat day once a week. :D

Went for an hours massage today... it hurt like hell, but in a good way... sorta. :grin:
Hoping things will start to improve now and that the therapist undid some of the knots for me.

I guess I am on the right track then.:) -the cheats....for now! :shhh:
 
Good morning hon! :wave: That's so cute that your daughter wants to be just like you! What an incredible compliment!
 
Whatever you did, I need to do!! How much cardio did you do? How many grams of carbs did you eat? I hope you don't mind me asking.... :)
 
Kids today have a few more choices but then again, many live in the digital realm.

BC ... you should take a pic of your daughter in fatigues and lifting weights, that would be too cute. :lol:
 
Brit, I just lookes at your before/after pics. Awesome gob girl! Since me and you have discussed the cheat meals before, I was wondering how you did during those 2 months? Did you just do a basic cut cycle? In any case your change is motivating coming from a beautiful woman like you. ;)
 
:haha: ... Jill, I'm guessing it's because she's from BC ... but I could be wrong. :D

"brit" meaning British is what I always thought. How did you get BC?
 
because she lives in British Columbia. :)
I could be wrong, I thought she was British as first as well, but she does live in BC.
 
Good morning folks... thanks to all of you for stopping by... I will get back to all of your comments/questions a bit later on after I've shipped my munchkins off to school.
Just wanted to quickly answer your question Jill... yes I am British (very... as my husband would tell you! lol) but NT was also right about being from BC so it could be taken either way... smart cookies! :D
I've been in Canada for 12 years now.

spoken by a fellow beautiful woman!
Howdy, S-train!
:)

'morning, NT! (relatively speaking..)
 
Hi Burner... Thnx for the compliment. Brits photos are very impressive. It's funny b/c the formula for weight loss is so simple but very few can put it in persepective as she does. 8 weeks seems like nothing but coming from a fellow bodybuilder I know it seems like forever when you are dieting clean. I think Brit should do a portfolio if she already hasn't. Get your look out there. Maybe you will get a break but you don't know unless you do. ;)
 
from reading the journey of those competing, it seems to be the fine tuning that is a major issue. Like you said Shut ... the formula is very simple ... hard to apply, but very easy to understand. She followed it for 7/8 weeks, and got the results because she wanted it bad enough to follow the simple plan. Most are not willing to make the huge sacrifice for various reasons, but for the few that are prepared to make the sacrifice, the rewards are just. :D
 
NT - I'll definately get a shot of my daughter to post next time she's working with the weights! lol :lifter:

VE - Yep, it's pretty cute that my daughter wants to be like mum right now. (I'm sure it won't last!) :D
I think I mentioned she's going to be guest performer at a BB/Fitness/Figure show in November, she was disappointed that she couldn't compete against the other fitness girls... I don't think they make 4" heels in her size yet! :eek:

shutupntra1n - During that 8 week period I was pretty good with my cheat days. I never let them get too out of hand or drift over into the next day... if I have a 'very' specific goal in mind I am better at keeping on track.
As far as a portfolio goes I'm still holding back on that one... I think about it from time to time but then for some reason put it on a back burner... I've done a couple of shoots now so at least I am getting practice in that area and am starting to feel a little less like a complete twit when posing!
I did land a one year sponsorship with Perfect Nutrition which is awesome and they are using my pics in ads online and across Canada in TV Guide, Famous Player Magazine and Toronto area newspapers... it's a start! ;)

Sapphire - It doesn't look to me like you need to change anything!!! You're one hot lady. ;) But, to answer you're questions... I don't now how many grams of carbs I was consuming at that time, I really wasn't counting the specifics just the total calories per day and protein. I did do a shit load of cardio and I really don't recommend this in general (I barely do any now at all!) but at the time it was a way to speed the whole process up. The first four weeks an hour in the morning, the last four another 30 - 45 minutes per day on top of that.

As so many of you have mentioned most of us know 'what' to do it's just doing it, getting the ball rolling and sticking with the program.
I'm very goal oriented, if I don't set myself goals I am liable to fall off the fitness wagon so I always am working on what my next 'mission' will be.
Diet is always the hardest part for me... we are such a food obsessed society and it's so hard, I find, to get together with friends without the main focus being on the food!

Jill - Here's a sample diet for you... I took this from one of my journals back then, seems like a fairly average day...

Meal 1

Cup Oatmeal
1 Tsp Sugar Twin

Meal 2

Cup Cottage Cheese
1/2 Cup Grapes

Meal 3

Protein Shake

Meal 4

5oz Cod
1/2 Cup Brown Rice
2 Cups Broccoli

Meal 5

Protein Shake

Meal 6

Chicken Breast
2 Cups Broccoli

Alright... I think I've caught up with you all now. :scratch:

Have a good one all of ya! :thumb:
