The things I get talked into doing......

[Jodi]

Oh by the third no carb day I was dying. My lifts were bad and running was killing me.

I don't normally go 3 days in a row with no carb.......that was just to start my diet out and now I'm on my normal rotation.

 

[sara]

Jodi- As I was driving with my family today to the party.. .. we drove by where you met me and helped me with my plan.. I kept on thinking about it and how I really appreciate it..I feel so bad/embarrased not following the right diet now .. since you drove over 30 miles just to help me.. But I promise you, I will go back to it soon

The gym is my lifestyle...but when I screw things up, I dont see the gym as my lifestyle, I dont see school, family, friends.. I just sit in my room

Hey Jodi, how's today's no carb. A relief after yesterday?!? Look at you kicking ass in everyone's journals, that's the Jodi I know, LOL! Do you think carb cycling is good for powerlifting?

 

[Jodi]

LOL - I still haven't visited yours yet

Nah, I don't think carb cycling would be good for powerlifting. I think a powerlifter needs a good steady source of carbs daily.

Uh-oh. I was kidding about that cheeseburger Do you think 40/40/20 is good for a powerlifter?

 

[Jodi]

Yeah, I think that's good for a powerlifter.

 

[Rocco32]

So you're competing again? That's great news! Lifting heavy again?

Hi Jodi
I've been reading your journal and want to tell you that you kick ass! No carb days drain me, I don't see how you run so many miles! Great work!
I noticed you don't list any fruit with your carb meals, is this just until after the holidays? or is there some reason your avoiding the fruit? Just curious.. I like my fruit, but sometimes on my 3rd or 4th high carb meal, i know I wouldn't miss it much

So when is this marathon?!? (Sorry I don't feel like looking for it )

 

[Jill]

WIth all this running and 'cardio' has your body fat changed at all?? Seeings that you rarely did cardio before. Do you find running hard on your knees and lower back? I do.

 

[Jodi]

Rock - It's Jan. 9th

Jill - Not really because I was eating way above maintenance calories up intil a week ago. So without a caloric deficit it doesn't matter how much cardio I do, my body fat doesn't budge if I'm eating too much No, the running doesn't bother me at all. I prefer biking though and can't wait to get back to it and hang up the shox for a while.

How long do you predict it'll take for you to do your marathon?

 

[Jodi]

I'm only running the 1/2 marathon now so over 2 hours............I hope!

 

[Robboe]

Y'know, i've just realised you have an Avant signature pic. Why the dragonfly?

 

[Jodi]

You just now notice LOL. I've had it for over a year.

Dragonflies are one of my long time favorites. They are beautiful but the real reason is it's symbolic meaning of growth, strength and change.

I'm actually going to have a tattoo designed for me of a Dragonfly.

 

[Robboe]

How do they symbolise growth, strength and change?

(Not arguing, just curious).
