J'Bo's Back With Attitude!

[J'Bo]

Well i geuss i owe everyone a BIG explination, so here it is.
Sorry to take off so quickly 6 monthes or so again, things were kinda crazy in my life...but all is sorted out now.

Here is what has changed in the past 4 monthes:
New Home (great stylish little apart. in the heart of our tiny city)
No boyfriend (long story..dont even ask)
New Job (well jobs..personal training business is taking off and i have a day job as well that keeps the diet in tact)
New Trophey ( just finished competing in the first ever figure comp. here in Winnipeg and i won the Overall)
New Competition to train for (going to the Canadian Nationals in Edmonton, Alberta in May to represent Manitoba)

So that is the scoop on me...whats been going on with all of you? I need details people.

Well i geuss i should get down to it and start this journalling cause i only have 8 weeks today and i will be on stage competing for my figure pro card. Yippee. I know that i may have a couple years before i come close to grabbin the much sout after PC, but i am going there confident that i will learn alot and make a good impression on the judges.

Nutrition Plan Til 5 Weeks Out

Meal One (post cardio)
3 eggs and 2 egg whites, 1/3 cup of sweet potatos

Meal Two
1.5 scoops of protein with 3/4 cup of skim milk and a 1/2 grapefruit or an apple

Meal Three
chicken breast or tuna, 2 cups of green veggies, 1 Tbsp of hemp oil

Meal Four
1.5 scoops of protein with water, 1 Tbsp of pb (to keep me sane for now)

Meal Five
lean beef, salmon or chicken breast, 2 cups of green veggies

Meal Six (if i am up later than 11pm...yah like that is gonna happen)
protein shake with water or 3 egg whites

obviously i will cut and arrange some food depending upon how my body is doing, but my goal is to hit 10% in 8 weeks.

i got my bf% tested last Thursday and i am 15% and 137lbs. I have gained a good 5lbs of muscle from last year.

Last year comp: 12% at 125lbs
This year comp: 11.5% at 129lbs
May comp: 10% at 127lbs (i think that it may be possible)

So lets see if i can pull this off. I am sure that i can.

Diet starts on Monday.

Dissapointed

Well i just scrolled through the site and i am sorry but i am a little dissapointed, it seems as though the site has less important info and alot more gab. When i was on here about 6 monthes ago there was a ton of useful information about training, supplements, and diets, now it seems as though the only threads that alot of responses are the online diaries and the open chat areas. I think that maybe we all need to do a little less gabbin about life, live life more, and try to inform and educated everyone more. Maybe i am just a stiffy. Anyone else notice that the site is full of gab and less info? Please dont take offence to this, its just an observation.

 

[Dero]

Hmmmmm,back with an attitude,before I say anything else,is dat a good or a bad attitude???
I do have an attitude adjuster,if needed!!!
Hiya J'Bo!!!
Good to hear from ya!!!

 

[J'Bo]

It is a good attitude about most things in life.
Good to see your still hanging around D.

Hey where is Madman?

 

[Dero]

Which one are you reffering to as madman????
I could name a few...
The Ozzy that lives in Yapan???
Pro'lly sleeping.
I see life is good to you,RIGHT ON!!!
Keep it up!!!



Queen of the asparagus???OMG.
Could had chosen a better one!!!
He,he...

I just started visiting IM a couple months ago, and i've got to say the amount of information i've gotten has been immense! Everyone is very helpful, and very informative.

Can't speak for how this place was 6 months ago, but i certainly cant complain about how it is now.

Good luck on your quest for the PC!

I guess that is one solution, or those of us that have knowledge could try and post more. Just a thought.

I did say only "one" of the reasons.

Also, I like to learn as much as I like to help.

MY WORD

First, let me apologize to you J'Bo because I'm using your space in your diary to gab but the topic is here so... again, SORRY!

I suppose I could post more about Bodybuilding/Fitness but I don't really think anyone listens to me or thinks I have useful information. On the other hand, there should be a select few that do know that my knowledge and idea's are useful and I have proven that!

Even moreso, I'm VERY supportive to anyone in needs or request that I have gone on as far as offering my OWN discounts on supplements. I have also "GIVEN/SENT" samples of various items. Unfortunately, I can't give to everyone that request something though and I'm sorry. Also, I MUST mention, I'm very supportive to everyone on IM.com as well. I'm an avid supporter on local shows and competitions, fitness and modeling as well, too.

In the sense of Bodybuilding techniques and styles, I think it's somewhat limited because I don't really have a major change up in my routines! I can SAY that my workouts are not my own creations but are guided by some of the best in South Florida! I've had my own diary here and surely can start another one.

As for Dieting, I usually stay away from that and allow others that are more expertised in this field to wail away with their thoughts, guidance and theories. As I do in life here. If I have a client in which I will in three weeks, again, I usually send them to my appointed nutritionalist! I do highly agree with Prince in his statement that with those with more knowledge SHOULD post more!!!

As for my gab, I know I'm VERY RIDICULOUS but unfortunately, I do enjoy the side gab of all my fellow IM.com members! I find everyone has a great personality and are very unique.
I do read most everyone's posts and enjoy each and everyone one of them regardless of the topic.

OK, well, I guess enough of my gab and I will stop right here and leave you ALL with this message.

I consider you all of my online friends and would love the oppportunity to meet with each and everyone of you during my travels. Until then, Stay true, stay fit and stay healthy. May all your dreams and goals be fulfilled.

D

J'Bo.....

I know you've been away for a while....and don't mean your comment to sound so ludicrious....but I think you may have overlooked a lot....

A tremendous amount!

1) The forums have been revised and the info is still there and evovling! It is at the top of the forums (in a sticky.....with a new name) with additional information from when you left......

2) Not a single serious person is denied timely or immediate respones....programs, solutions, or maybe just an open ear. You personaly have just benefitted, and enjoyed that in the past also. The Training and Nutritional advice here is second to none.

3) The entertainment value on many levels has intensified

4) People have become closer....and you being part of the family should recognize that....if you are here for business, keep it business, if you want friendship added in, that is available too....call it gab if you want....a persons journal is for them to decide...if you want to use other's journal's as tools....read through what you don't like.

5) and if you want to see what I am really talking about...a search on the word "Thank You" should do the trick! (just guessing)

6) And don't judge the site by the weekends...things change drastically during the week

7) If you want crisp and mostly business...follow w8's CSH "Read Only" journal, Jodi, Ian, Pepper, Bladezz, others, and soon, as she posts more, Gabrielle (a national level competitor, pictures soon).

If you have a question, ask it...sorry nobody knew about TechO2...I gave you my best response privately........I believe everything and anything else you have ever asked before had multiple responses!

..and while I see your point, as I am an offender of chat from your perspective......there is a reason which is my business only...and I take offense at your comment....if you want help, info, whatever, you have always gotten it here...and you always will!

David....I think you have tons of useful information!

[J'Bo]

TP: Ok i am not the only one.

Prince: I completely agree with you.

Dave: Where do i start? Umm you sound like your taking the statment i made earlier as a personal attack. You kinda misread me if thats what you think..i wasnt talking about anyone in particular. You are the post whore still. lol.

I simply made an observation that this site is starting to look more like a dating service or chat room rather than somewhere to learn and ask questions. If someone feels that they dont have enough knowledge to help or post threads, then that is the perfect opportunity to ASK QUESTIONS. You wont learn what you dont ask.

I do however feel that it is a little hard to state your opinion and your approach to dieting and training because there are a few people that think that "its my way or no way" and that simply isnt the case. Humans in general are built the same however everyone is unique and thus diets and training must be altered from person to person. There is no right or wrong and diets arent black and white, what works for one may never work for another, so lets be open minded and take everyones suggestions and comments cause i know that everyone just wants to help others out.

Monolith: Yes, this is a great site however i think that it can just be better with some more Quality threads rather than Quantity. I have learnt SOOOO much from this site and i think that everyone should/could benefit from it.

 

[Robboe]

I'd be hungry.
