I think that's a very wise ting to do. There are far more important things in life than competing

Have a wonderful, relaxing weekend

 

[J'Bo]

Thanks everyone for all your support.

I had alot of rest last night in amougst my prep cooking for a triple birthday party this weekend

J'Bo...you sound overwhelmed with things. Try to take it one day at a time and find something maybe that relaxes you. I hope things turn around for the better. When Ifeel like that sometimes I try to get away from it all and then come back and re-visit my issues....the time away helps me refocus on what's important and why I do what I do. That being said your health, work...and relationships with friends, family, b/f, etc...are important as is your competition. Good luck making a decision for what's BEST for U!!!!!!!!!. It's hard but you're already a huge success to us and I'm sure everyone else around you. Just remember there's always another year if this isn't the right time.

Whatever you decide I hope you feel better asap...and you're already a winner in more ways than one

 

[Sapphire]

Yeah... what Fit Freak said!!!

 

[nikegurl]

Yeah....what Sapphire said!!!

Feel better soon darling.

Try doin some little things that make you happy, I struggle with extreme moodiness monthly as well, even tho I am moody all month long anyway. I guess it's just good to be aware, and to remind those close to you how you are feeling. It sucks tho, cuz you feel like you've lost control over your feelings. Maybe you can try meditation? I should try that.. hmmm...

J'bo keep your fucking head screwed on straight and you will be fine. You know that competiting take alot of wear and tear on you emotionally and mentally, physically. I known you for 2 years and you never where a quitter. Like my self god was giving me a wake up call and tell me to slow down and to balance out my self mentally, spiritiallu, emotinally, phyiscally. I have been through hell and have bounced back but not just phyiscally but also mentaly, emotioinally. You got to many things going on and eventually you are going to get burned out. Its just going to be a matter of time and you will know the symptoms. People under estimate the power of stress and drs just say its all horse shit, but i know what it can do to use mentally and physically first hand. Just back off a little bit and just let things come naturally. One important tip I can give you is to seperate things and you will be much better off. When out with brad last thing to worry about is competing. That is saved for the gym. As my best training partner said to me. As soons as you step in that gym leave work at work home at home. You are in the gym time to focus. If I did not focus are off that day he would tell me to go the fuck home and come back when I was ready. When I left work I kept work there never brought it home with me..For eample I don;t post alot on here because the more I think about it the more obsessed I become and if i am a work my mind is focused on that and nothing else. I plan my meals and eat accordingly, but that is done out side of work. YOu will be just fine just pull back on intensity for a bit you got plenty of time and you are way a head of schedule. If you need to vent you know where I can be found. Your health is more important then a day on stage. So like fitness said. Pull back and re evalute things. Its amazing how our lives parallel one anothers

 

[J'Bo]

well just an update.

i guess this is what they call the lows of the rollar coaster we call life. i physically feel better now, but this weekend my boy and i split so i am a little upset and its a little hard to think about everything at the moment.
life just seems to be alot more pleasant when you have someone you love beside you as you achieve your goals.
oh well there has to be an up to this roller coaster sometime....right?

 

[sara]

I'm sorry to hear this J'Bo

 

[J'Bo]

Hi J
long time no talk.

i'm glad your feeling better, being sick is one of the worst feelings.

on the other hand, sorry to hear about your boy. honestly though, to make yourself feel better, read some of the old pm's you sent me about relationship probs. there's no question you know what you are talking about, so read up on some of your own advice, and it will def. help, cuz it helped me so much

 

[J'Bo]

thanks everyone. you really help although it will just take time i guess.

flex= thanks but its easier to give advice then look inside and use it for yourself.

 

[Burner02]

hey hottie!
ditto on what everyone else said.
You've always been there w/ good advice for those of us, as Flex said, take some of your own adivce.
BTW: YOU BETTER BE COMING TO VEGAS THIS FALL!

Diet for Monday April 26, 2004

I did not feel like eating much...you know how it is when your sad you dont really want to do much

Meal four: shake and 1 tsp hemp
Meal five: 4oz bison burger, 2/3 cup rice
