But generally I'll have 1-2 low days (90G of carbs +veggies and creatine), 1-2 Mod days (130G of carbs + veggies and creatine), 2-3 High days (280G of carbs + veggies and creatine) and 1 refeed day.

Pretty boring day... all I really did was train my friend at the gym and I've been at home all day just relaxing and getting ahead on some school work, and I called Lukie up in BC to see how he's doing and what not.
Bloated today!

 

[Tom_B]

Oh also since I was bored today .. here's the new hair color + cut!
I think I'm going to keep it this way..

 

[Emma-Leigh]

Oh also since I was bored today .. here's the new hair color + cut!
I think I'm going to keep it this way..

Yay! You look tom-tom (I can't get over how white and perfect your teeth are)! LOL - And you get a hair cut and colour.... just when I think about shaving my hair altogether!


ps: where are the piccies of the rest of you!

 

[Double D]

Not to bad of a little workout you put together there. Nice work.

 

[BulkMeUp]

Nice new haircut. Looks good. The longer hair you had previously can get tiresome to maintain. Esp after you spend one summer in TO, it may get even shorter.

As 'for the rest of me' nothings really changed, a bit more of a difference in the legs (it's a wonder what no cardio can do for growth!), but my stomach is looking all soft Any defintion that was there seemed to of left me about 3 days ago.. really bloated too.

Adrian - Thanks Adrian! Well it wasn't so much it being hard to maintain, my hair takes only about 5 minutes to do! It's just I needed a change, I was tired of that hair .. it seems about every 2 years or so I need to make some sort of drastic change to my appearance!

Omg just a fucking horrible day. It begins with me knowing why my tummy has been so bloated and soft lately ... I had the shits so bad today. By 10am I had used the washroom over 7 times! Tummy is back to normal now though ..
Then I find out that I only have a 14% chance of getting into my choice university which means I really need to get back up schools ready to go! This just stressed me the fuck out.. and I took it out on my hair. Went to a random hair place and got my hair even shorter on the top.
Then I go to the new doctors about my heart .. he's convinced that it's the whey powder that I take that's causes this wow. I just sat there and nodded my head. He wants me to do some blood tests, I'll do them but after this I'm fucking through, if I die from h
Heart failure I die from heart failure.
And then it's only been a week in the new term at school .. lets see I've had: 3 writing essays (all on 'short' stories that are 20-40 pages each), 1 reading assignment, a worksheet, a project, a bibliography assignment, a chemistry assignment and a chemistry test.
THE FIRST FUCKING WEEK! ... And then some shit went down between my mom and me tonight.
Plus I've been training a friend at the gym frequently, and making her a diet + making another friend a diet..

I'm just rattled and so stressed!...

Well, maybe dont get too overboard with things like the no-salt stuff, for example. Try and relax a bit. If smoking triggers things, then thats a sign you need to stop

I agree you need to stop the smoking and cut back on the No Salt Substitute.. Also - well - I would just tell the doc that you want to do some HALTER MONITORING because you ARE concerned and if you were to 'drop dead from sudden cardiac death then you would sue is arse to hell and back!

[you could then politely raise the question of if he should consider something called "Paroxysmal Supra-Ventricular Tachycardia"]....

Either that - or come over to Australia and I'll find you a doc that actually KNOWS something!

Adrian & Emma: Ya I'm going to cut back on the salt stuff. And I don't smoke weed regularily, I smoked it twice in three months, and each time was LESS than half a joint. No one understands how I can get high off so little.
I was getting the pains fairly bad today during school.. at this point I"m just hoping that maybe it might be panick/stress attacks? Maybe Anxiety? And maybe the reason that I had those two really bad episodes when I smoke was because I was panicking I might get caught smoking?? Who knows..
All I know is the doctors are fucktards up here, I forgot to mention how the doctor told me that because of the whey powder I'm overloading my body with calories and it can't handle that many, so I'm just bombarding my body with too many Fats, Carbs and Protien and this can be an adverse effect .. wow. I just sat there, I just can't believe that a doctor could know so little.. not to mention 's talking like he's some sort of expert on whey powder and he doesn't realize that it's ONLY protein, and that's it's the whey protein fraction from dairy. I told him that and he gave me this dirty look and was like 'No theres more to it. Bring it in to me next time you come in.'

Emma I have two really important questions if you don't mind answering?
1) I have fasted blood stuff for Friday morning and they want me to fast for 12 hours so they said I can eat my supper the night before and after that no more... Do I need to actually fast for 12 hours? Would 9-10 hours be fine? I've never had to fast that long for any tests...
2) Okay this may be farfetched.. but the doctors are so fucking stupid around so I don't really have any options. Okay say if I smoked some weed, enough to get the 'attack' to start happening and then rushed to the hospital they would obviously start running a bunch of tests and shit on me... would this be worth it? Like I mean would they be able to find out whats wrong with me in that exact moment while I'm having the 'attack'? Becuase when I have these 'attacks' after smoking the weed it's BAD.. when I get people to put their hands on my chest to feel my heart their eyes go right big and they're like 'Omg are you alright? Do you need to go to a hospital??.. LEWIE!!' , It's really fucked how fast and hard my heart starts pounding.
And I guess I would obviously have to tell them I'm high.. I wonder what they would do to me.. I doubt they'd call the cops or anything.
Is this just stupid and they wouldn't be able to figure anything out from it?


Okay off to eat (starving!!) and do homework as I've been at work all night .. so much to get done..

Usually it is only 10 hrs that you are required to fast for.. but, as tough as it is - I would recommend you fast for the full 12 hrs they want you to do.... Things like lipids, glucose, homocysteine etc etc are all influenced by you eating - so if you have something with in that window...

Just have a HUGE-O meal before you fast... and then have something WITH YOU so you can quickly scoff when you can!

2) say if I smoked some weed, enough to get the 'attack' to start happening and then rushed to the hospital they would obviously start running a bunch of tests and shit on me... would this be worth it?

Ermmm.... I would probably not recommend it....

But this is basically what 'halter monitoring' would allow you to do - they attach you to the same machine they would at hospital but a smaller version, and you then wear it under your clothes for a few days and it records your heart (like an ekg) to see what is going on and any issues that may occur...

 

[jaim91]

I know this is late, but I just got to looking at your journal.

And may I say Sir, that you are one f^%$-ing GORGEOUS gentlemen. I know, I know. "We" can never be, but damn...

The hair looks awesome!

Time for you to come home (here) now.

 

[BulkMeUp]

I was getting the pains fairly bad today during school..

Another suggestion would be to stop xpand. The label does point out a whole bunch of stuff. Mostly i guess that is to cover their ass. But you could give it a try.

I want to go home too

Adrian: Ya I was actually thinking that too .. I'll be keeping things fairly the same up until my blood test on friday, then after that I'll be reducing the no salt stuff and putting some sea salt into my diet. If that doesn't help I planed on stopping the xpand during my rest week, so we'll see what happens then.

Okay so tired, I'm exhausted! Had to work all day becuase it's Valentines, the restaurant was so busy .. then I got home and had to do a english assignment (AGAIN!! I'm going to kill that teacher!), and study for a chem quiz tomorrow. Hopefully schol's cancelled tomorrow though, it's snowing pretty bad outside..

 

[Emma-Leigh]

Jaime: .....

Adrian: ......

so my comments were not worth a mention?

 

[jaim91]

Hopefully schol's cancelled tomorrow though, it's snowing pretty bad outside..

Emma- OMG so sorry!! I forgot to reply to your comments, I did see them I just forgot! I'm sorry I'm having trouble remembering my own name at the moment.. theres just so much happening.
Okay I had my last meal at 8pm tonight.. the blood lab opens at 7am tomorrow, so by the time I get registered/ they get set up it'll be 7:30am-8:00am so I should be good . I don't think I'm going to bring anything, hospital is only a 5 minute drive away, so I'd rather just rush home and have a nice big bowl of oatmeal and rice cakes .. mmm. I'll mention the halter monitor to the Doctor. I doubt they'd go for it but I'll really push it. I mean I feel stupid cause all this hype could be over something as tiny as anxiety problems or panick attacks, but the pains and feelings can get so intense at times.. it's scary. So I'd rather be safe than sorry..
Once again thanks!!! <3

Jaime - I wake up this morning at 4:30am .. it was PLUS 5 degrees outside with NO snow covering the roads!! So I was like shit school isn't canceled .. well 6:30am rolled around and the radio announced school was canceled! LOL everyone didn't understand why, it was the warmest it had been in WEEKS (it's normally -30!) and there was no snow! Oh well I"m not complaining.
LOL ya the hair looks even better actually I've been getting comments none stop. Alot of girls wanted to 'convert' me hahaha.
Me? A Valentine? ... Jaime I've NEVER celebrated a Valentine.. I hate the day, it reminds me that I don't have any love life whatsoever.

REally bloated... too much water, and way too much Veggies. I also had a pickle for the first time in my life today. Oh. My. God. AMAZING! I went straight out and bought a jar of my own, they're soooo good! I couldn't find any low sodium ones, but oh well! probably for the best, as I would probably eat the entire jar if I did

 

[BulkMeUp]

. I also had a pickle for the first time in my life today.

really? I love pickle. I have the kind which has a lot of hot spices in it, not just the gherkin in brine. It makes bland food taste good though i havent had any in a long while.

 

[Double D]

Pickles are pretty damn good. However I like em plain, not so much on burgers. How are you Lewie? I havent been around much lately sorry. I saw the low carb drink sitting there on my desk today and thought dammit I have got to get that sent off. Sorry I will eventually. Oh and by the way, the diet ones are much better. For some reason Walmart stopped carrying the diet ones and started carying the sugar free ones. They are equally as good.

That's so coincidental that you would mention this! Last night, my mom and I ate in a restaurant that served unlimited FREE pickles, coleslaw, bread and butter while you were waiting for your meal. You would have loved it. They had new dill and kosher/old dill

BRUTUAL!! omg Squats, after all that heavy leg press, not to mention at that particular tempo and rep range get me everytime!! So hard!

So... I got a random urge to try some cardio. Wow I did 4 minutes at 8mph and I couldn't breath. I was grasping for air, I just could not breath! I ever had trouble breathing after I slowed it back down..
Then I get home, brush my teeth and when I spit I notcied there was a red tint. No biggie I thought, just cut my gums or something. Well the red tint continued, I searched my gums for a cut, coudln't find any. Got my sister to check my mouth she couldn't see any. Then I started to feel sick.. and I puked up a tiny tiny amount.. had the same redish tint to it.. hmmm..

Adrian and Jaime - LOL I saw the type you're talking about Adrian. I couldn't decide between regular, garlic, xtra strong garlic, spices or italin herb flavour... I literally spent 30 minutes in front of the pickle section trying to decide. I was with Kerry and while we were there some random old lady started talking to us.. it ended with her LITERALLY running away from us saying we were crazy becuase we asked her to take out her dentures for us! BAHAHA omg sooo funny.
mmmm unlimited pickles. I'm trying to look for the low sodium ones though .. seriously if I could find the low sodium ones I'd probably be eating them by the jar

DoubleD - Ya that's what I've been doing with them, eating them plain straight from the jar LOL I was actually just thinking about the rockstar today! I wasn't sure if you already sent it or not and it might have gotten lost in customs or something, so I was going to mention it to ya just so you didn't think I got it and never bothered to say thanks!! But don't worry about it, you got a lot going on in your life right now!
Things are going pretty good right now, can't complain too much other than school stuff. They're just piling the homework on us!

Well didn't do much today. Got blood work done first thing in the am, then I hit the gym, then ran some errands with kerry. Then work and now I'm just kind of procrastinating doing University applying... I should at least look a few things up before bed...

Is the name of the brand you get, "Strub's"??

Enjoy being young and not having any responsibilities other than yourself, school, and everyday life. It sure was nice 4 years ago!

Jaime - Nope the brand name is 'Bricks'
DoubleD - LOL that's sorta how I plan to keep it .. No children for me! I know this is selfish, but I find when someone has a child, that's it thats their life ya know? Like they've "given" up or now dedicate their life to their children, and I"m not sure if I'd ever want to do that .. (even though I know it's not necessarily true) + like you said the responsibility of another's on your shoulders... I can barley handle my own shit let alone take on another's! Just to know that everything you do, everything you say is molding or shaping how someone will grow up, their thought process etc. Just too much for me personally..


Didn't do much yesterday, just ran a bunch of errands earlier in the day, got my HAIRCUT AGAIN (one 6th haircut in 3 weeks..), tanned, yadda yadda. Then I had a phone call with one amazing girl (JAIME!!) , then went out with Kerry and her Brother Luke.. we cause some ruckus among the town, got in at midnight, did an English project then I just ended up staying the night at her house.
