The Cut of No Return

[Jodi]

Well I'm finally doing it. A year and half ago I said I wanted to compete but I never got the guts to go through with it. I've finally made the decision and on September 28th I will be doing my first Figure competition. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time.

I have asked TP to help guide through this process and he's has agreed to do so. I look forward to working with him and this will be yet another great learning experience for me. Thanks TP!

TP has already set me up with his carb cycling plan and I started today. I will be posting my meals and workouts as usual and I hope you guys will follow. I have 9 weeks as of today and a lot of work to do

[J'Bo]

i am so happy that you decided this. what federation are you competing in? and where?
your gonna be awesome and i cant wait to see your results/pics

 

[Jodi]

Thanks guys

TP - I'm looking forward to that 6 pack!

JBo - I'm competing in an NPC Competition in Manchester, NH. I found it odd but they are holding the comp on a Sunday, 9/28 I'm definately nervous because I hear all the horror stories about unfair judging with NPC. That's OK though because with this being my first comp I'm not going worry if I don't place.

 

[P-funk]

Good luck, you are going to be awsome..


What weight class are you going to try and shoot for??

 

[shortstuff]

When you do figure there is no wieght class it is height classes, and she will be short like me

 

[Jodi]

Its figure they don't go by weight class but by height so I will be in the shortest class they offer.

As far as weight though, TP says we are shooting for 100-105 lbs day of competition.

 

[shortstuff]

Hey Jodi we seem to think alike

 

[Jodi]

Good timing

Dont take it personally cause all federations judge unfairly in my opinion. Thats only because the judges are either untrained or ex-bodybuilders and dont really know what they are looking for. Just do your best and you will prevail Sunday comps are terrible cause try to get a hair dresser and makeup artist in on a Sunday morning and geeze $$$$$$. TP will take you all the way baby. He helped me for Nationals and i was VERY VERY happy. Let me know if i can help in any way.
So how was your first no carb day?

I'm use to low carb and no carb eating and it doesn't bother me at all. Its the high carb day I'm worried about I'm trying to relax and tell myself it will be ok.

My hairdresser works out at the same gym as me and she already told me she will come to my house and do my hair and makeup and nails the morning of. I was relieved because she knows how I like my hair and makup and I would HATE to go to someone new for the first time on competition day She's great and I was thankful she is going to be around. I have long nails that grow like weeds (wish my hair would do the same) but how do most do their nails, French Manicure?

 

[J'Bo]

Thats great that she is willing to come to your house the morning of and help you out.
One tip when training with TP. Smarties arent really smarties they are rockets

 

[Jodi]

No I know what smarties are. It you weirdo's in Canada that don't know what smarties are. j/k

 

[J'Bo]

ha ha real smarties melt in your mouth no in your hand those are rockets damnit
i am really looking forward to reading your journal.
high carb days were the hardest for me too.
i got addicted to the no carb days.
although my no carb days had nothing but fat and protein.
no veggies even

Thats M&M's that melt in your mouth not in your hand.

Really no veggies. He told me 3 C. Veggies a day no matter what day.

Thanks JBo, I'd appreciate any comments and tips you could provide as well. This is so new for me.

Lots of journals you have to follow

Most girls stick with the French on the nails. It looks good with a tan and very natural, just my opionion. Also, less distraction for the judges.

 

[Stacey]

Good Luck Jodi!!! I'm soo proud of you for doing this!! Your going to do great!
Thats awesome that TP Is going to help you!! I have done a version of his carb cycling and I really like it!

I can't wait to follow your journal!!
