Food and workout - March 25, 2005

Food - exactly the same as yesterday

Workout - i have no friggin energy to post this today. it was good. i worked hard. i hit what i planned to hit. did abs as welland some stretching and some pathetic posing practce in the locker room as always.

one thing though - some stupid annoying motherfucker doing his seated cable rows next to me while i was on the lat pull downs asks me out of nowhere if i am watching The Contender... i say no i don't watch tv much and i don't like boxing. and i turn around and give him the side of my face so he can't talk to me. can't talk to me? wrong. he starts doing a REALLY bad impression of sylvester stallone... and i swaer this shit lasted for like a full 5-7 minutes until i turned to him and said, "will you SHUT UP?" and he laughed and kept on, saying, "yo adrian... no body tells me to shut up, but me, right adrian?" and some other bullshit. and i stopped my set. turned to face him completely and with the most serious look on my face i said, "no. i really meant that. SHUT THE HELL UP PLEASE."

I didn't wait to see the look on his face. i just turned around, grabbed the pulldown bar again and finished my set.

I didn't hear a peep from him again. And we both ended up walking out at the same time to our cars and he didn't say a word the whole time.

 

[GoalGetter]

oh my god. this is fucking great. makes me want to play "Weapon of Choice" by fat boy slim. i bet this goes great with that song. hahahahahaha!

mmm brownies...

Yes please, a kleenex would be nice. And Jakey, I always have a brownie point or two on reserve for you.

As for the uber sensitive reaction... I can't believe my mom was just TELLING me about this damn movie and it had me in tears. I wonder if I would have made it thorugh the actual movie... For those inquiring minds, the movie in question is "The Notebook". Go ahead, laugh at me.

I rented that on the AC weekend on the morning before I left because I knew Rod didn't want to see it and I had heard it was awesome... I bawled my eyes out and had to catch my cab to the airport right after it ended, I'm sure I looked like HELL... cab driver I'm sure wondered what the hell my problem was!!!

10 week photos are posted. nothing spectacular. i think the changes are more visible from 11 to 10 weeks in person than in these pics... but oh well...

i tried to go for a spot with better lighting instead of in my hallway.

 

[JLB001]

Posing looks pretty good. Lil softer in the elbows, meaning not so pointed. Kinda hard to explain what I mean. You want to be able to touch your thumbs to your hip bones, then drop them at the elbows only.
Hmm...You ever seen those stick looking figures they sell at IKEA? The wooden human form? You want to be able to move just at the elbows.

I think i know what you mean. I will try again in a little while with the suits you sent me since i have to take photos for ya as well...

and yes i am very familiar with the wooden figures - i used to live with an artist. hahahahahaha!

 

[GoalGetter]

About my posing...

I've been using this and this as guides for my posing... but it's so hard because not only can i never remember every single thing i'm supposed to do, i also don't have a mirror in front of me when i am taking my pics. i think i'm gonna go to kmart and get one of those full length mirrors you can attach to anything except i wont attach it. ill move it around the apartment as needed for practicing. hahahahaha!

 

[Yunier]

and yes i am very familiar with the wooden figures - i used to live with an artist. hahahahahaha!

Familiar with wooden figures eh.

Ah hey, are you not allowed to smile when posing?


Looking good!

 

[GoalGetter]

see attachment, wise guy...

Ah hey, are you not allowed to smile when posing?

i need to remember to smile. i'm still working on keeping all my body parts flexed. i have to concentrate. the smiling just gets forgotten in all of this.

Looking good!

thank you!

 

[King Silverback]

Ivy, pics are lookin GREAT!!! Your progress is really showin. Definition is coming along very nicely. Your back and quads are really starting to cut up!!!
BTW, your new Avi looks VERY COOL!!!

 

[JLB001]

yep that's it! LOL Its the easiest way I can think of to explain the elbow thing, its about the only thing you want to be able to move when facing forward and to the rear. eveything else has to be flexed and the rear has to be sticking out. LOL

So not lady like the stuff they want us to do.

I had to run here to work before I could finish saying you are coming along nice! You have great legs!! Yes...I am friggen jealous. Is it ok if I hate you?

i'm TRYING so hard to remember to stick out my butt. hahahahah i think i've improved from last week.

So not lady like the stuff they want us to do.

funny, i actually look at this whole figure thing like we have to be little friggin barbie dolls, the ones with the arms that don't bend, and the waist the size of their neck. hahahaha!

I had to run here to work before I could finish saying you are coming along nice! You have great legs!! Yes...I am friggen jealous. Is it ok if I hate you?

AWW THANK YOU JODIE!

well you can hate me if you want, if i can hate you too, because you have AMAZING abs, which I'M jealous of! hahaha!

thank you!

Actually that was a really awesome point Yunier brought up... I forgot about learning how to smile a big ass grin and trying to make it look natural, your teeth WILL stick to your lips and your mouth WILL be dry as hell... the smiling is harder than it looks, practice, practice, practice!
Rod laughs at me know because I have what he calls my 'Monica smile' that I practice, he reckons I generally end up looking psychotic!!!

 

[JLB001]

Vasaline on the teeth. LOL

[JLB001]

Not for the butt! wiping your hands and stuff when they get icky.

 

[GoalGetter]

I just finished trying on all four suits Jodie sent me. How exciting! They are all so tiny that i feel like a fat pig in them! I know that is ridiculous because I am pretty lean right now, but the suits are just THAT SMALL! hahahha!

In taking photos to send her so she can see what they look like on me, I noticed my right shoulder is NOTICEABLY higher than my left. I almost look like i'm leaning to the left. I dont' feel this when i am standing in the front pose, so I fear that it is just the way my body is, and I want to find a way to fix this by june 25.

Any pointers, thoughts? I'm gonna go post this in the training forum as well...
