J'Bo's Diary

[J'Bo]

Well day one after recieving excellent information from W8 and the rest of the awesome people on here.

To be honest the diet was only about 50% on track.
I made sure i had ample protein though.

Needed the protein to help repair my legs after this mornings grueling new program that W8 gave me. She said it was hardcore and so it sounded like a challenge. 100 reps of squats and 100 reps of deadlifts later i could barely reached the top of the stairs (the locker rooms are up a flight of stairs at my gym). Getting down the stairs was even more challenging. LOL. I had to let 3 people go in front of me while i clutched the railing for dear life.

Saw one of my fitness friends at the gym and told her all about the website. Her name is Irka and she is excited to join. She is awesomely (is that a word?) dedicated to bettering her body, she lost about 40lbs to compete with me April.28th.

Well as soon as i get a chance to get to the grocery store (probably Friday) i am going to step back into the diet world. As for now i am going to go against everything everyone has told me and enjoy one last dose of sugar. I just made apple crisp and its cooling up stairs. Hey it has oats in it, and apples! It is semi ok. LOL. Well you only live once and i still have 16 1/2 weeks til the next competition, so i will live a little.

Hey i am going to go weigh myself hold on. The verdict: 132.5lbs and 13.2% bodyfat. Not bad for 4 monthes to go. Only 3% BF to lose.

Til tommorrow, when i will journal how bad my legs are. I love the pain though.

Congrats, J'Bo
Sounds like yer off to the right track

 

[w8lifter]

Awesome

 

[J'Bo]

Ouch!

Day two

All i have to say is OUCH! I feel like a 90 year old who just finished running a marathon. Those 300 and some odd reps on the old legs, really worked my muscles (to say the least).

I have a terrible cold where every 5 minutes i either sneeze or my eyes start tearing til i can't see. Head feels like a basket ball, but legs are feeling pretty good (you know that painful, tight good).

I just want to post a note to anyone who is for some reason thinking of moving to Winnipeg, DON'T. It is similar to hell, in that it is May.9th and i woke up this morning to 1 foot of snow. I am so mad and tired of this silly town.

My boyfriend is waiting for his Visa to come through so we can hopefully move south. I am a beach girl and could live with no snow 365 days a year. Snow is so overated! Its wet, cold and really has no function other than making my life a living hell.

Sorry for the negative entry today, i am feeling kind of down. Geuss i need to go eat some sushi, that always makes me happy again.

By the way i went to go get a litre of whipping cream in the carton ( i hope i got the right one) and some frozen strawberries for my creatine shake. I can't wait. The only thing they had at the store was half and half cream, homo, buttermilk, or whipping cream. Did i get the right one? I think i got too big of a carton, it only lasts 10 days and costs $5 Canadian.

Til tommorrow, when i can feel my legs again. Hopefully!

 

[cornfed]

Careful, alot of frozen strawberries have a load of sugar added!

 

[J'Bo]

I double checked! None added.

Is the whipping cream the right stuff?

Thanks for looking out for me.

 

[cornfed]

Sounds right, "heavy whipping cream" fat will be the most prominent part of the nutritional info.

...And anytime

 

[w8lifter]

Yeah, I usually buy a pint of cream at a time.

LOL @ your snow rant...I so feel your pain, it's bloody cold as hell here too.

Anyway...is this good for your avatar?

 

[J'Bo]

its perfect W8 !
thanks again.

 

[J'Bo]

How can i post it?

Or can you?

 

[J'Bo]

I hope these icons don't have any meanings, cause i just use them depending upon how i am feeling. Hehehe.

Hey anyone out there have any solutions for leg muscles that feel like they were put through a meat grinder. I am finding it hard to sit on the toilet never mind walk.

I know your laughing Corndog (i mean cornfed).

So i found out how i am going to get through the next four monthes without having any jam busters. Answer strawberry/cream shakes ummmmmmm. I think i'll have another.

Well tommorrow i journey into the world of triceps and chest and i can't wait. I love the triceps day, cause they are one of my strong points (they can always be bigger though). I'll keep posted, unless i pass away from killer legoma (a word from the jen-ictionary).

 

[cornfed]

Not laughin' at all, I understand, though w/o carbs it's not as often... LOL I can hear it now "too much info!!!" right back at ya'
Don't let these twits corrupt you into twisting my name. I am the only respectable guy around here. The rest a stuck in their prepubescent dogma, searching for answers w/ their heads in... [the sand]. And w8lifter... ...well, there's no explanation suitable there

For your legs, try an nice hot bath! I like mine w/ Bubbles and a 'lil soft music...some rose petals and scented oils... candles ... a nice fluffy towel and robe... LOL and I didn't mention that Bubbles is a great girl j/k. a hot soak works wonders, and do some stretching to keep the blood from pooling.

 

[ZECH]

And just think...by the time they get feeling better, time to do it all again! And then the pain again.....so on and so on!!!!!

 

[CLPgold]

Hello J'Bo

It will be fun watching you reach your goals.

LMAO to corn.

 

[J'Bo]

So i ventured back into "Iron Works" (the gym) this morning, and even though it was hard to get up the stairs i pushed on. Today was chest and tris day awe my favorite. I love when the horse shoes come out to play and the burns feel like fire (except in the legs). I did my triceps workout over on the womens only side of the gym. I think the women think i am nuts. There arent many (if any) hard core female pushers on the females only section. My grunting and hard breathing must sound a little perverted to them, to me it helps push forward. Some times however i breath extra hard because i forgot to breath on my set before.

Tonight is our fundraiser to raise money to bring Jenny Hendershott in to preform at the June.22nd contest. I hope it goes off without a hitch and the money rolls in.

The snow here is starting to melt, but could never be gone soon enough. May and snow, what kind of sick joke is this? Defiantely time to make tracks and split from this city.

The strawberry shakes i had yesterday were in my dreams last night, thats right i dream about food 50% of the time. The other 50% of the time it is about men with muscles (the bigger the better).

Time to go into the shower to try to soothe the aching legs. Can't wait til tommorrow when i have sore chest and tris to add to the legs. Heeehe, i love it.

 

[w8lifter]

OMG....I like you LOL Strawberries & cream and men w/ muscles

 

[CLPgold]

Good call w8. DAMN!!! I'm in reverse order though, men w/muscles, then strawberries and cream. Mmm mmm. Gonna go to bed soon and dream about...

Well....that's what I had in mind

 

[J'Bo]

It's Saturday morning and no real heavy signs of damage on the chest/ ticeps, except for some tightness. I geuss my body is starting to realize that i am not going to let up on it until it starts packing on some muscle. Was up late last night, and these eggs aren't going down so easy. I wasn't going to even attempt the oatmeal this morning, since it is such a phobia of mine.

The fundraiser last night was, ummmm lets say "a fundloser", unfortunately we did not do as well as had hoped. You win some you lose some. All the Winnipeg fitness chicks were there though, and it was good to see them all. Had a blast!

It's shoulders day, so i will let you all know how it goes.

Til then.

 

[Leslie]

Hi- I was wondering how tall you were. I hope you don't mind me looking at your entries. I am just trying to collect ideas for my own fitness regime.

 

[J'Bo]

I don't mind at all.
I am 5'9.
Anyother questions you have just ask, i am happy to answer anything.

 

[Leslie]

wow- thats pretty good- I am 5'10 at 148 lb, body fat unknown(I really need to get that measured, huh?) My b-friend(also VERY much into body building) says I am probably about 14-15%. I am trying to lose either 10 lbs-or 5% body fat. My cardio is thru the roof, weights are ok- but I think my diet is screwy. I like you dream about food- but I am twisted in the fact that I will literally PLAN my day around food- pretty pathetic- My b-friend says I live like I am in competion -only I have nvr competed! ( : Anyhow if you could post your diet-that would be cool. It will be interesting and motivational to see your progress!! Good luck!

 

[J'Bo]

Well i wish i was 148lbs and 15%. I am dying to put some muscle on and its killing me how long it takes. I can't do any cardio or else i lose everything i have worked for so i have to watch very carefully. When i am competiting i plan my day around eating too, so its not that uncommon (but is a little screwy to some). You thinking of competiting? In fitness or bodybuilding? Where do you live? I love to hear about how you got to 148lb and 15%. I geuss if we both posted our diets we could compare. I am in that depressing after competition mode right now and feel like i am a bowl of jello and rakey. I never knew how bad the after effects of a compeition would be. I thought that i was different and that i wouldn't be effected, now i hold food like i have never before. I never have been this soft and feel terrible. I used to (pre comp) be able to eat what ever i wanted and it would be burnt off before i could say awww. Now i hold everything. It may be just mental though. I do feel metal though. Sorry about rambling, bad day i geuss. My diet right now is not really on track, i am 14 weeks out and dont know if i can reach my goals, but i am going to try with motivation from people around me. My diet looks like this though (when i stick to it).

Meal 1: (pre w/o)
4 egg whites (1 yolk)
1/2 cup oatmeal w/ 1 Tablespoon sugar free jam
1 teaspoon creatine w/ 1/4 cup juice

Meal 2: (post w/o)
4 strawberries
3 Tablespoons whipping cream
1 teaspoon creatine

Meal 3: (2 hours later)
tin tuna
1 Tablespoon mayo
3/4 cup brown rice
celery
1/4 cup pecans

Meal 4:
fruit
1 Tablespoon peanut butter or 13 nuts
1 scoop protein powder w/ water

Meal 5:
chicken breast, veggie ground round, turkey breast, or steak
2 cups green veggies
1/4 yam or 1/2 cup rice
1 Tablespoon of fat (dressing if having salad or else nuts)

Meal 6:
turkey breast or tuna
1 Tablespoon peanut butter
or
protein shake and hemp oil
or
chicken and peanut butter
or
tuna and mayo

By the way, what is wrong with 148lbs and 15%?
What is it that you want to do?
Staying at low levels of bodyfat like 10% all the time is very hard on your body. It is also very hard on your reproductive organs, so if your planing on having children be careful.
I think that 13-14% is a more healthy range for women.
15% is great though.
I competed in that picture at 12%.

 

[w8lifter]

I'm sure you meant to add a protein shake to meal two lol

J'bo....how's it going? are you still eating like crap?....do you want me to kick your ass? 14 weeks out, you can do it, but start cleaning up now! We'll do it together, K? I needed a goal so I'm dieting for the musclemania, even though I'm not competing in it. So....post what you've eaten today!

 

[tgkfour1]

J'Bo

Keep up the great work!

Something about the dedication of the women on this site has been in the back of my head for the past four weeks and lit a fire under my ass!

It has really been great to hear le bodybuilders de femmes canadien and their driven attitudes.

Made me realize where my gaps were & where I need to be.

Keep it up! BTW nice B&W picture- you've got fab abs!


TGK

 

[Leslie]

Gosh, thanks J'Bo but I really don't feel like I look great. I am not competing =but its something that I do hope do do one day . I am always hard on myself but I have been in real focus in losing that 3% fat or 8lbs...Your diet looks ideal. Mine is probably the reason I am not getting what I want. I jumped on the Carbs are bad bandwagon and have been doing low carb,high fat/protien for the past 2 1/2 weeks. i do notice some changes though- don't laugh but this is what i basically eat:
Mon-Fri
(1) coffee w/ cream ( I know...)
(2) scoop of Designer Protein and 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter (yum)
(3) Chicken Breast w/ cheese,peppers
(4)Cottage cheese
(5)Chicken w/ cheese,peppers
(6) scoop of Designer w/ 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter(yum)
(7) Tuna patty or 6 eggwhites w/ cheese

Sat-Sun
I will go high carb adding brown rice and oatmeal ect to my diet raising the carbs and I will eliminate the Peanut Butter.

My b-friend says I am eatting too little and if I want more muscles I need more cal yada yada yada..But I nvr listen to him- Maybe your feedback will do me some good.....W8lfter if ur reading this I wouldn't mind hearing your opinion either!

 

[J'Bo]

w8lifter

Are you joking you really don't want me to post what i have eaten today. You guys just want to make fun of me!

Actually i have eaten good today so far (haha its only 11am here).
4 egg whites (1 yolk)
1/2 cup oatmeal (i got it down)
1Tablespoon sugar free jam (added to oatmeal umm)

Yesterday was a disaster, i went out for the first time after the competition with my fitness friends. Ohh boy food, bad food.

P.S i love that killer leg workout by Jason lamound on your website i am on week 3 of it.

P.S.S Regards to the meal 2 you guys told me creatine instead of protein cause you dont need protein right after a workout. Maybe i misunderstood?

P.S.S.S Yes please kick my ass. I need help i am addicted to sugar. Still at 15% though.

 

[J'Bo]

Thanks tgkfour1

Too bad they are all hidden right now.
The creatine bloats me!

Signed floating whale.

It sounds like your diet just needs a little tweaking.
More green veggies and carbs is my opinion.
I am sure W8 will agree.

I think that you should start thinking about competiting. I waited 3 years to compete because i wanted to be "my perfect" the first time i got on stage. But as i realized that time will never come. So do it while you can, because tommorrow could be too late.

With all the help on this forum, you can definately get started and do really well. I will post a message later on how i got started and what you have to do. Hopefully it will get you excited enough to get your but out and try it.

Think about it and i'll message later on today. Right now i am going to gymnastics to watch some of the Canadian National girls routines (it inspires me to get my ass in gear).
