Cut THIS: GG's First Cutting Journal

[GoalGetter]

I wouldnt want you to scream at me.. I bet Boobie is still traumatized.

ok, WHO or WHAT is "boobie?"
hahahahahahahahaah!

so you're gonna get a cow, jake?

Jodie: it's alright.... i was standing in front of a plate of fudge stripe cookies this evening at my folks' house. I resisted. I wanted one so bad. Just one. but I was talked out of it by the boy (p-funk). He said, "you're going to start craving all sorts of stuff if you do..." that was enough to make me walk away. i remember all too vividly what the cravings were like about a month ago or two months ago (the ben and jerry's incident and weeks thereafter). They wreaked havoc on my mental health.

 

[PreMier]

Maybe.. I will know in a few(2-3) weeks. Bobby AKA: Boobie is Jodie's bestest friend.

 

[JLB001]

Boobie is Craig's friend. Patrick and Jake both liked him in Vegas. LMAO

I cussed him out last Monday at the gym, it was low carb day and he just pissed me off. I had had enough of him...so I let him have it. I wasn't nice either.


Awesome on resisting the cookies!! We have will power!!!! we will make it to our shows in the best shape we can be!!!

 

[P-funk]

Plus some cool free stuff from victoria's secret. Can't complain!

I wont complain either.

 

[P-funk]

Long Live Boobie!!!

Workout - April 7, 2005

Legs

Squats
RI 60
115/20
115/18*
115/20!!!!!!

notes: HOLY CRAP! This is probably my BEST BEST BEST squatting ever. Really low, good form, solid performance through first set of twenty. Nice rhythm. Second set, was doing great until the bar slid a little down my back on rep #18. My wrists bent too far back as I tried to catch it and recover, but it was too late and it fell behind me onto the rack. At that point i thought i'd broken my wrists, but they were fine. I was PALE, and panting and seeing black. A guy squatting next to me offered to spot me if i wanted to try again, and though I usually turn down such offers, I wised up and accepted his help. So he finished his set, and then stood behind me. He didn't even touch me. Isucked it up and banged out another 20 reps (rest pause at 10 and 16)before collapsing on the floor, half laughing half passing out. It was the best feeling ever. I had to stay there for a little while, just trying not to vomit all over myself and the nice guy. One of the trainers was with her client doing deadlifts near me and the client was like, "oh my god, that little girl is crazy. why is she doing that to herself." Hhahahahahahaha! SHe just doesn't know.

If i hadn't been able to do any other exercises in this workout, tha twould have been fine with me. This was definitely one of my best ever. I can die happy now.

Split Squats with DB
RI 30
20/12 x 2 (12 each leg, that is)
25/12

notes: Nothing spectacular here. It was good. THat is all. I was still reeling from the squats, but pushed through and kept on with my workout.

Lying Leg Curls
RI 30
55/12 x 3

Standing Calf Raises
RI 30
220/20,20,18

Hyperextensions with 2-second pause
RI 30
bw/25, 20

notes: my glutes and hams were fried after this.

Abs
Captain CHair Knee Raises: bw/15
Ball Crunches: bw/30
Knee-Ins with Ball: bw/20

Stretching - 10 minutes. My right hamstring is still very friggin tight. I'm not sure why. It never used to be this way. It hurts.

Posing - 5 minutes - had a client, had to hurry up and get ready. Posing was good though, but i'm a wee bit bloated/blurry and felt disgusted looking in the mirror, so i was glad i had to stop and put clothes on. Ugh.

 

[P-funk]

careful with the wrist. you shuoldn't loose concentration like that. don't try and catch it next time either. if it is going to go let it go. did you place the bar to low on your traps?

i honestly can't tell ya what exactly happened. I had the bar in the right place, and i speculate that for like a split second i might have leaned forward slightly or something, which caused my little "shelf" to not be a "shelf" for that one moment, and the bar just started sliding down. it all happened so fast. and the noise it made when it landed was so loud and embarassing and i couldn't even breathe and my hands were bright red and all i could think was, "OH MY FUCKING GOD. I broke my wrists. BOTH of them! I"M SUCH AN IDIOT!" I was about to cry and then as quickly as it started hurting, the pain went away.
what do you mean lose concentration? i was concentrating.

yea, I suspect you leaned back a bit to release presure off your lower back and that is when the bar slid off. So that is why I said you may have lost concentration. just be careful, please.

Amazing Job on the Squats Ivy.

hahahahahaaha! thank you!

If it were up to P i think i would never be allowed to squat again. I would just sit there and look at the squat rack and smile. He is all worried about me getting hurt. The last time i was in NYC, i was squatting 135 - one plate on each side, and he was freaking out the whole time.

 

[PreMier]

Congrats on such a great workout!

 

[GoalGetter]

Thanks Jake!

Quick update on my diet...

This week as you may already know from reading my previous bitch posts, I'm doing a trial run with jodi, with my sodium loading, carb depletion and all that crap.

Saturday my meals will consists of either chicken/brown rice/lettuce, or steak/broccoli. Sunday-wednesday, same but no brown rice. Thursday, all chicken and lettuce. There has been some discussion regarding Smarties, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (ok, HALF of one), and some coca cola and gatorade. I will document this as I do it. I feel ridiculous even typing it out because it sounds CRAZY AS HELL. But if jodi says it works... i friggin believe her. I will document as it happens. LAdies and gentlemen, get ready to have your shit flipped. This is going to be an interesting upcoming week. And by interesting, I mean miserable, except for friday, saturday and sunday during which I'll have a nice big funky distraction to keep me from focusing on the diet.

 

[Yanick]

first of all good job on the workout, clientele and motivation to abuse yourself like this!! you're gonna do great at your show.

[sdupdike]

Hey Ivy. I just wanted to say congratulations on your contest prep. It looks like you're doing great. I've been following along with what you're doing, as I'm exactly 12 weeks away from my first comp. You're a great inspiration. Keep up the good work.


And I hope you have a great funky weekend! Sounds like you deserve one.

 

[JLB001]

GG...your gonna be vainy as all hell with that amount of sugar after not having any for awhile.

You'll be able to actually "feel" it going through your body!

And I ate 3 PB&J sandwichs between a morning and night show awhile back. Had a nice lil fat bloated belly.

 

[GoalGetter]

Photos & Measurements 11 weeks out.

Ok. i am bloated and look like shit. I am not posting my pictures. Jodi i will send them to you privately. I'm disgusted. hahahaha! And i'm holding about 7 pounds of water. wtf.

I didn't even measure myself this morning is it ok if i do it tomorrow morning?

Patrick says i look fine, but i feel like the goodyear blimp.

K, I'm waiting I'm leaving until tomorrow night so you got 1 hour for more ??'s I hope you got my emails from late last night.

Oh and you are suppose to be holding alot of water. That's the point

 

[GoalGetter]

Well, I guess i missed that 1 hour window cause i didn't read this until today Oops.

I will email you the pics tonight when I get home. Just dropped off P at the airport a little while ago and have been at my mom's house taking care of laundry, cooking and other assorted family things.

------------------

Quick general update at 11 weeks out:

My measurements I will post on here for public record later tonight. Of note were my waist: 26 3/8", and my weight, 105 (102 last week before the water and sodium!). P also clipped my body fat ,and it came out to 12.45% using 7 points.

JODI: I sent you the mm's anyway, in case you wanna recalculate over there.

The pics, imho, don't look too impressive, but that is to be expected. I might reconsider and post them here as well.

The diet - i am doing alright so far. REALLY hungry but i don't know how much of it is mental because i know i'm only eating limited amounts of limited items, or what.

JODI: One question. I had a diet coke at my mom's house today, just a habit i guess. BUt i quickly realized that maybe i should not be having that (because of the caffeine) during my little trial run here, so I will not be doing that again. Let me know though cause with all this limitation, a diet coke is definitely a treat. And same goes for the gum. SUgar free gum - ok or not? I remember you said to drop it at a certain point before the contest, so i'm assuming if this were really my precontest week, I would not be having that. But i had some this weekend. how bad of a potential fuck up was that?

I had a GREAT idea for a new protein or MRP powder flavor: WEDDING CAKE. Jesus. Ever since I emailed with you (Jodi) about wedding cake and then read about it on your BBB journal, it is constantly on my mind. THen I thought, "what a fucking great flavor that would be - some vanilla butter rum and creamy frosting captured in a protein powder..."

 

[JLB001]

GG...if your doing a trial run of your last week, nix the diet coke.

 

[GoalGetter]

GG...if your doing a trial run of your last week, nix the diet coke.

I figured as much. I didn't even realize it. It is just something i grab when i visit my mom's house if there are cans in the fridge, and i went for it withouth thinking. After i started drinking it i was like, "hmmmm i wonder, oh well i already started drinking it..." SO i finished it, naturally .

OK so a question for those ladies who have already been thorugh this compteting/dieting stuff...

what about tea? FOr example stash has a wild raspberry/mint flavor that is awesome. It doesn't have anything, just an herbal tea with a fruit essence (whatever that means)...

what about decaf coffee? This one is no big deal. just wondering out of curiosity.

what about splenda?

point is that drinking something other than water or bouillions mentally helps me make it from meal to meal sometimes, so if I could at least sip some tea during this week it would be like a little sip of heaven...

thoughts please...

 

[JLB001]

I myself drink diet sodas up to the week before the show.
The last week, I stick to water only. Otherwise tea, crystal light, etc. I don't do coffee, love how it smells, just hate the taste.
I use splenda the last week too.

Everyone is different, just do what Jodi and Patrick say you should do.

 

[BritChick]

Hmmm I drank diet soda up to two weeks out from all my shows and because I was such a big coffee drinking we never cut it out at all - just down.

 

[King Silverback]

Hello Ivy, hows the weekend goin for ya?

 

[GoalGetter]

Hi all... another hell week for me, it seems.

well i just overslept and missed a client. I am so embarassed. thankfully she is really cool and i was supposed to meet her at her building. not like i made her drive out to anywhere to meet me. she called and said, "Please tell me that you were resting and i will totally understand..." and that was exactly what it was. How tired must i have been to sleep through an entire hour of a beeping alarm clock???? She knew i've been run down the past few days, so that was really nice of her to be so understanding. I am embarassed, nonetheless. This isn't like me.

Other things going on...

this pre-contest trial run is in full effect. my meals suck as there are no carbs anywhere to be seen. just chicken or beef, and lettuce or broccoli. And salt. On everything. I'm so sick of fucking salt. And did I mention the bloating? my belly looks like i'm a few months pregnant by the time mid-day rolls around. I'm so glad this is almost over.

My workouts this week are depletion workouts. Yesterday i did legs:

Leg Extensions
15/20 x 4

Leg Curls
15/20 x 4

Walking Lunges
bw/20 (each leg) x 4

Calf Raises on leg press
180/20 x 4

Stairmaster, level 4, 30 minutes. I barely broke a sweat on this, which was weird.... Yet, with the weight training, i was ready to start crying after the first ten reps of the first set of the first exercise. I don't know how i managed to make it through the whole thing.

Today is chest and back. Tomorrow arms and shoulders. Thursday all upper body.

 

[Yanick]

hey GG hang in there. i don't know if this will help or not, but on the rare occasion where i'm tempted to eat crap i think of the suffering that you are going through and decide that my diet is cake compared to what you are doing. keep it up you're doing great

no stairmaster contest week. Way to much activity, you need to do like moderate bike pedaling.
