The Bitching, The Buff & The Beautiful

[Jodi]

How much do I suck?

I'll tell you....

Jodi has broken fingers, and 5 weeks off, and lifts the same weight as me.


<------- laughing at myself ......

Oh come on now, you know my chest is one of my stronger parts

Apparantly you missed my pitiful shoulder workout yesterday

...probably...cause I only pick out the stuff I suck at and compare how much I suck at them

I'm just frustrated cause I'm so psycho....I don't want to be so big...but I don't want to lose any strength just shoot me now please

 

[Jodi]

I think all us women go through that. It's such a mindfuck dealing with it. IMO it's a mix of society and what is considered feminine and then at the same time afraid of being chunky. I fear that if I don't lift heavy I'm going to be fat

Then when we think we are happy with out appearance and try to maintain it, a few weeks later we are trying to either lose mass or put more on We never get it right

Hey Jodi, how are the fingers and toes coming along? I saw that you did some spinning. Any discomfort?

 

[Jodi]

Toes are good, thanks. I feel them a little but nothing major. 2 of my fingers are still wrapped but they are not causing much pain. Pushing movements seem ok but I'm not sure about pulling movements yet.

 

[aggies1ut]

Good to hear. Healing sounds like it's going well. Youshould be back to normal in no time.

Hey girls! I was looking for some help...I competed in my 1st figure show last weekend and took 3rd. I have another in 5 weeks, I didn't get as lean as i wanted and I hit a plateau about 1 1/2mo ago at 10.4% BF. I carb cycled and went from 20% to 10.4%, after the plateau, I tried high no low no and still didn't drop any more fat...out of ideas, any help???

i have eliminated the word "tweak" from my vocabulary.

 

[nikegurl]

well ladies - i'm not gone (and i'm not leaving) and i'm not eating bread

but things haven't been so good since tuesday afternoon. i've been sick - but not sick like virus/cold sick. i have ibd (i think). had issues as a baby according to my mom. it was bad during college years which is the 1 time i went to a doctor but didn't follow through with all the tests (not fun stuff plus i was sort of used to it since my stomach has always given me grief ) at the time i was told it was likely ibd.

i have good times and bad. flare ups that come and go. everyone who knows me knows the drill w/my stomach. i've pretty much eliminated food allergies b/c there's nothing that consistently triggers problems. typically though - the cleaner i eat, the fewer problems i have. it still happens, but less often.

not so this week. i've been having a bad time of it since tuesday. so bad that i didn't leave work 'til 9:30 tuesday not b/c i was working but b/c i couldn't be away from the bathroom long enough to "risk" driving home. gross i know - i'll spare any further details.

i haven't been to the gym even once. the only exercise i've done all freaking week was my morning HIIT on tuesday. no lifting at all and no cardio yesterday.

no diet cheats but a bunch of missed meals. feeling discouraged and probably going to have to face it and go to the doctor (which i HATE). sometimes it settles down again for a time and i can ignore it. i really prefer that approach.

i think i'm going to stick to protein meals mostly today. super tired, lots of missed sleep and just kind of miserable.
