oh man, i wish i could afford myself that kind of luxury. "I'm short on carbs for this meal. let me grab these here oreo cookies... there. a complete meal."

hahahahahahaha!
 
:lol: Yall are funny. How was the interview?
 
job interview

i think my job interview today went really well. We talked for over an hour, he wants me to come in for a more informal interview wiht the co-owner where I will actually go through a training session with a "client". Ugh ihate those, but I really like this little place. I have a good vibe about it.

This is disgusting though: apparently I was so nervous, that despite my cool and calm demeanor, i kept picking at my cuticles. At some point my finger was bleeding and i didn't realize it. :( And all i could think of, after i noticed was, "oh fuck, I hope he didn't notice that." :(:barf:

Other than that, though - it went swimmingly! :rocker: I have to go back on friday for that second interview. If all goes well (and please, all of you, keep your fingers crossed cause i have to get out of where i'm at in the worst way!), I will be training at this new place in two weeks.
 
You will get the job.

You picked at your finger till it bled? :gosh:

yeah i had a little piece of cuticle sticking up and i kept picking at it... and i guess i pulled at it and it broke the skin :( it was gross.
 
Competition Advice Needed

In case come June 4, I don't feel ready to compete, I want to have a backup competition to look forward to, further out in the year. Here is a list of some upcoming natural show, between june and december. Anyone care to take a look and make some suggestions? i don't know anything about this stuff to see which one might be best suited for me.
 
I like how you are going the natural show route. This is P's mistake IMO. He would be killing 90% of the natural competitors here, and it wouldnt be that hard to get a pro card. Fuck the NPC, unless your geared up. Rant over, and I dont know anything :)

I'll cross mine - if you stop picking yours!!! :p
(Though I know I don't need to! :thumb: )
Had a really cool e-mail from one of my practicum clients today, telling me how since she started training with me, she's lost 6lbs, 2" off her waist and her bf has dropped 4%... she's dying to get back in the gym with me... now I just need to get that damn certificate so I can charge her! :laugh: Truthfully she is such a sweetheart and such a pleasure to train that I don't even care about the cash... wrong mindset for someone in financial ruin but - oh well! lol

I keep thinking about it, and I just feel like that show is not a good fit for me. I will look like an average jane next to those women on stage, I think. I am holding out hope that when i lean out it will look awesome, but i still fear that i will be ridiculously small compared to them. And not small in the way that the judges want (less muscular than bodybuilders), but small in general. Like laughably small. Like, "why are you even here, ivonne." small.

If i AM ready in june, i was thinking something like this one. june 11, a week after the bev francis instead... it's a natural show in north carolina.
 
You will get it. You are the shiznet :thumb: But I will cross my fingers for you (But you really do not need it) :thumbs:

none of those shows are in opr near NYC??

check nabba.org (or .com) or inbf.org

a natural show is the way to go for you.

P- I know what you are saying about NPC. The thing is, for me, I just have to know that I can do it. For myself. On a side note I got another comment at the gym from this guy..."Man, do you even realize how big you would be if you just juiced? You are that big naturally. Just put some in ya. You will be a total freak."....whatever. :rolleyes:

shit going on...

What a shit day. i'm lucky i even got to work out today. lots going on. i'm a little down/moody, have a lot on my mind: work, money, parents, training, food, friends I haven't talked to in a while who I miss...

I guess this is what having my period used to be like, except without the bleeding. hahahaha.

I'm just bummed today.

OK off to help my mom... no more clients til 7 pm tonight.
 
Journal looks great GG, I just read over the whole thing. Very impressive. :)

Workout - March 17, 2005

Legs

Deadlifts
125/8 x 4
RI 45

notes: i'd planned on doing 6 x 4, but decided to push myself for 8. It IS rep day, after all.

Walking Lunges
25/10 each leg (20) x 4
RI 45

notes: OOOUUUUCH! And no. Not ouch, my legs or butt. Ouch, my left wrist. :( I left my straps in the car today by mistake but they would have come in handy for THIS exercise, of all things. :shrug:

Superset: Cable Abductor with Cable Adductor, Standing
40lb/15 each leg, each exercise x 2
RI 30

notes: I don't do nearly as much ab/adduction work as I maybe should. 40lb was TOUGH. :( At least for adduction. For abduction I maybe could have (should have) gone a bit heavier.

Rev. Hypers off the edge of the bench
bw/12 x 4
RI 20

notes: omfg, after deadlifting this was brutal. perhaps even downright silly of me to do this today.

Seated Calf Raises
90/20 x 4
RI 20

notes: first set, piece o' cake. 2nd set, ok, getting rough. 3rd set, barely got to 20. fourth set, i rest-paused in order to finish out the set. :rolleyes:

Abs

decline bench crunches
bw/25 x 2

ball crunches
bw/30

plank
1.5 minutes, both feet, alternating feet and then both feet to finish it up

Stretching

my right hamstring, all the way down to the back of my knee is SOOOO TIGHT it isn't even slightly funny. I don't know why.

Posing

Did not practice at the gym today because i was in a hurry to get back to my mom's house. I did talk to the manager at this LA Fitness. He knows someone who can help me locally with my posing. I'm looking forward to that, no doubt.

Hey i'll never say never. Maybe i'll try it some day.

i'm just scared of power lifting, man. I saw blood come out of some guy's eyes! That was enough for me to be a little "eeeeh" about it. hahahahahahaha!

Lol :). I thought of you when I posted a cinnamon chicken recipe. (As I sit in the Dept. of Justice on a monitored internet connection :grin:.) I haven't tried it out myself though.
WUT WUT!!! cinnamon chicken? oddly enough, someone else suggested to me last year that i try cinnamon on my chicken. and it was DEEEEELICIOUS. Gonna go check out your recipe.

Oh, and um... I just want to say hello to the Department of Justice. 'sup guys and gals! ;)
 
Hello Ivy, sorry your having a crappy day :( Looks like you took it out on the weights, Awesome W/O there Little Miss Dangerous!!! :yes: :bow: :thumbs:
 
Oh My God! How Could I Forget!

HOW the HELL did i forget to mention this!!!!!!!!!!

In an effort to cheer myself up, I went to walgreens to find some sugarless gum and a jug of water. As I passed down the wrong aisle, I noticed a bunch of "as seen on TV" items. Naturally, I'm an infomercial junkie so I stopped to look at all the stuff.

WOuldn't you know it, they had a grip n flip? For $9.99. A fucking grip n flip. At Walgreens.

It goes without saying, I bought the damn thing.

I am now the proud owner of a grip n flip, people! I will use it promptly upon arriving at my home tonight, when i have to cook some more chicken breasts. I. CAN'T. WAIT. WOOO HOOOOOO!

I dont understand.. do what? In your journal, you said your not even good at this(BB). Well, step onto a natural stage, and see how it goes. I bet you change your mind.

LOL. Well Thursdays I spend most the day on the comp at my internship and then on the comp during my research class. Atleast Fridays, I only stare at the comp during my internship. I swear, these excel spreadsheets are making me lose my wits though. :laugh: :barf:
