Jodi's TP-PT Journal

[Jodi]

I'm not so sure it was smart doing triceps again yesterday after doing them on Sunday.

I can't move my arms today and putting a bra on was a chore today. I was actually sweating

 

[tucker01]

Just don't wear one

In a few weeks of dieting that won't be an issue.

 

[Triple Threat]

TP thinks week for would be too much for me while in this caloric deficit.

TP speaketh the truth.

 

[Monolith]

In a few weeks of dieting that won't be an issue.

Youve got it easy post comp, though... if your bulk isnt the cleanest, you can just tell everyone youre "re-womanizing" yourself.

If a man goes overboard, though, he "womanizes" too... its just not as attractive.

 

[Jodi]

Bitch tits!

Unfortunately that won't work for me anymore. I'm done bulking. No more muscle for me. I'm finally happy with the amount I have and do not wish to build anymore. Post-comp I plan on just maintaining what I have and staying lean. I'll probably try to work on some trouble areas that could use a little more definition but nothing drastic as bulking.

 

[Monolith]

I dont understand why youd ever want to stop adding muscle... especially if youre natural. It's such a cool friggin challenge.

Although, its probably a little hard for me to envision wanting no more muscle when ive got the muscle mass of a prepubescent girl.

 

[Jodi]

Sure if I want to be huge but I don't. I still like having a petite frame and want to keep it that way. I know I have the potential to put on alot more muscle if I want and that scares the hell out me

You don't think I have enough?

I just think itd be awesome to see how far you can go naturally. I mean, its not like its hard to lose the muscle later if you dont like it.

Besides, you dont want to miss out on the fun of a bulk, do you?

Your kidding me right? It took over 6 months last year to lose 2 inches of muscle off my legs when I over-developed them. I did it slow so they wouldn't get too flabby. I don't want to ever have to do that again and the scary part was that I'm sure my quads would have grown more

I don't want to know where I could go naturally. I'd be afraid of what I'd look like. I respect those women that get huge and ripped naturally or not, its all hard now matter what. Its alot of work but just because I respect them and their decisions doesn't mean I want the same for me

 

[Novo]

And I envy you that petite frame Jodi, since I'm still trying to accept that whatever positive changes lifting and diet make ... I will always have a frame that says "barn door!" Still, no point regreting what you can't change hey, just got to get on and work with what you have.

I think it's great that you know exactly what you want, have the knowledge, experience and dedication to work for it, and don't let other people's opinions sway that ... even if I can completely understand guys wanting to kill you for working to take 2" OFF your legs! Life just ain't fair sometimes

 

[ncgirl21]

Well I think you look super hot now !!! I build muscle really easily in my legs, my upper body is my challenge and of course dieting!

Thanks Novo

Just bulking this past winter was on the board of iffy for me. I wanted to do it then I didn't want to, I wanted and didn't..............so on and so on............ But I knew that if I wanted to compete in BB this year I had to. I have women friends at the gym that compete in middleweight and heavy and they look fantastic but for myself and my liking its too much. I'm happy with what I have, now I just have to maintain it

As far as my legs, yeah, there were a few people here begging me not to do but I had too. I looked funny

 

[Jodi]

Thank you Andrea I think most women build legs easy. I lean out my upper body fast but I can't get rid of the damn tummy

You'll reach your goals too and you are doing fantastic.

Yeah, i see your point. I guess im just envious.

 

[JLB001]

I'd love to take another 2 inchs off mine. I got more fat there than anywhere.

[Jodi]

Once nice thing I've noticed so far this week......................

NO DOMS!!!!

 

[ncgirl21]

When your doing carb cycling do you still have to count your calories? How many do you usually eat?

 

[Jodi]

No I don't really count, its mostly in my head . I know how much I'm eating. For instance on a no carb day my guesstimation is 1000-1100 cals, low carb arount 1500-1600 and high carb I have no clue

 

[Jodi]

Its easy to figure out really.

I eat 30G protein per meals * 5 meals = 600 cals

So on and so forth.

 

[Jodi]

No workout today. No Carb Day

Meal 1:
1 Whole Egg
6 Whites
1/4 C. LC FF Milk
2 Fish
1 SesThin

Meal 2:
30G Protein
2 Fish
3 Celery

Meal 3:
1 Can Tuna
Romaine
ACV
1 SesaThin

Meal 4:
3.5 oz. Chix
Green Beans
1 SesaThin
2 Fish

Meal 5:
30G Protein
1 oz. Peanuts - TP hasn't said no yet

 

[Jodi]

Ok, nuts it is

Seriously, I think my fat is low enough that my body can handle the 15G.

Still no DOMS which is a nice change. Although I'm not expecting it to last as we increase the workouts.

 

[Twin Peak]

I wouldn't worry about 1 oz of nuts, so long as it trul is one ounce.

We'll cut it later though.

 

[Jodi]

The littlest things make me happy right now

Yes it is truly 1 oz. I buy the little 1oz. packets at Sam's Club for Scott and stare at them everyday. I'm afraid during one of the nights that I wake up because I'm so hungry I might eat them. That's why I figured I needed to add some fat in before bed so I stop waking up at night. So far so good.
