Jen's 1st precomp journal- 10wksout!

[jstar]

AJ!

I just read your whole journal! Sshhhh, I am supposed to be at "work" . What Perfection!!!! I hope some of it rubs off on me! GL with Prolab. That would be awesome to see you get a sponsorship. Have you ever tried Lean Mass Matrix? The cinnamon one is SOOOOOOOOOO YUMMY. It's more of a MRP tho.

 

[I'm Trying]

I'm glad you got through your rut. Your workouts and diet are really impressive!! Keep up the outstanding work!!
Thanks!

Hi Jen!

Always looking great in here! I wish I had more to say without redundancy but I love your hard work, effort and drive for success even when our minds are congested in deep thoughts of life.

Yes, a good reminder to for myself. Go get more supplements tomorrow for myself as well!

Have a great night, darling!!! You're so inspirational!

 

[dj_diablo54]

atherjen,
You are doing a great job, it took me a while read your entire journal but I am finally done. You have a great drive for some one your age and you are going to do just fine. Don???t trip potato chip it is all G double O D.
P.S. You are very beautiful and take great pictures.

 

[Jill]

YEAH!!! 205!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The MOST I have ever done with SLDs is 155. You are super strong!!!!

 

[atherjen]

you guys are insane! that lift was blah! I wanted at least one more rep. I thought of throwing on 2 plates but I would have only got a couple reps if I was lucky.
there I go again with my worst critic syndrome! Ill shut up now.

nanh Jill no word or ideas yet.

David, Dj.. thank you both.. very very kind of you! appreciate it!

 

[Rocco32]

Well your 205 is higher than my 155!!!!

 

[atherjen]

Ok. So this is going to hit alot of you by surprise. .... Jens not competing anymore. and No I have not lost my mind either. I was loosing my mind and my health and my body dieting for comp. Ive talked this over ALOT and its defintly not for me. I enjoy going to the gym, lifting heavy and being healthy. I feel like my body is turning on me. I dont think that its worht putting it through hell this much longer just for a day on stage to say hey.. I got ripped, did damage to my body which is going to rebound after comp... Im already having physical and emoitonal problems... not worth it. I want to enjoy life. I have NO ONE to impress. My goals in the gym arent to impress anyone, but do it for myself. its my passion.. being miserable, feeling like Im walking through water, have emotional ups and downs, feeling lousy, no strength, brain fogginess, etc is NOT worth a trophy or pat on the back for one day. blah.
so that being said.... Im going to start a new journal!
but before I want to thank you ALL for the endless support and motivation that you provided! truly means alot for a person to know that others are there to support that.
...

 

[M.J.H.]

Great decision Jen, I really really think that you made the right decision. I am sure you're going to have some fun getting back into the gym and training heavy and eating a bit more. I agree that sacrificing your health both mentally and physically, not to mention emotionally, is not worth it. Weeks and weeks of miserable dieting for one night of fame to me just never adds up. Train for yourself, diet for yourself, be healthy for yourself.

Good luck!

 

[Stacey]

WOW! Its like you took the words out of my mouth for what I want to say and what I have been thinking and feeling about me also! Can I copy & Paste this in my journal??? Kidding!!!!

I totally Understand how your feeling--and I think you made the right desicion.

I support you all the way!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!

 

[atherjen]

I say dont mess with your body anymore right now hun!! and you know that you have all my support in whatever decisioon you make!

 

[JLB001]

Jen......does that mean we can talk about junk food? nd what we all might eat when you visit Texas? I think Stacey will be able to eat Cheese Cake Factory with us!

 

[atherjen]

Ive never been to cheesecake factory... and I dont like chesecake.. but if u can make me like it.. then chow down! hahaha

 

[hikerchick]

Jen that sounds like a wonderful decision. Being happy and healthy is the MOST important thing, above all else. Plus, just think of all the food you can eat now! Kidding! I think you've made a great decision.

Your very welcome hun.. those kinda things are always returned!!

take time to think about your decision.... and dont let anyone else make it for you! look deep inside yourself and sort things out. thats what I had to do!

yah yah lifes crazy sometimes... I just pray to god that I can have children someday! soo really putting my body through more torture could have been worse! yikes.

 

[JLB001]

Do you know that the was PERFECT advice you just gave me--
to not let anyone else make the decision but myself!! thanks soo much!!!! I have a few people who don't think I'm doing the right thing--and I don't like it
I mean, I still am going to train hard, eat clean--and try for a photoshoot!!

I will do lots & lots of thinking about the comp--like you--I just don't think my hearts in it--all I have on my mind is trying to make a baby- Hell-with all my bad insides, its very possible that I cannot have one-- so If the Dr. says to try-then I AM!

Your the best! really-- You have such a strong head on your shoulders-- I know you will go very very far in life.

[atherjen]

you are again very welcome sweetie!! The most important thing is life is doing waht is best for YOU , and letting that be your decision. I have come to learn that time and time again. and you know things have been fine so far eh! Theres no need to leave room in our life for endless regrets. finding what we honestly want dep inside ourselves and following that is the key to happiness!
I wish you the best of luck with everything Stace. and hey modeling is defintly still an option. you are simply stunning!!! and there is so much oppurtunity out there for you! even if you got pregnant and wanted to model... youve seen those pregnant models! and even after! tons of time for things right!

Im always sitting down. I especially need the rest, its leg day tomorrow and my hammies still hurt!

I am going to say one thing. I think you have a gift and I think you should use that gift. Thats why I am quite suprised that you decided not to compete. However it is your decision, and even though it doesnt matter, I will support your decision. Wish you the best.

 

[atherjen]

hahah! my hammies are sore from yestarday too!

thanks! gift? nanh im just plain Jane. no gift at all.
I just dont think that competing is for me. not worth it at all.
thanks for the support nonetheless tho!

 

[PreMier]

Sorry you cant dispute! If your not gifted more people would look like you, and they dont.

 

[atherjen]

cant dispute?
heck there are a TON, of woman everywhere that look wayyyyy better then me!

 

[PreMier]

Do you not know what dispute means?

Sure there are a ton that look better than you. However there are WAY WAY more that dont. All I am saying is you have a gift. I have only seen ONE (1) girl that looked better than you fitness wise. In real life I mean.

 

[Fade]

PreMier is right

 

[atherjen]

thanks guys..... umm but I dont understand what that has to do with me choosing to compete in bb or not.
