Betty Strong

I’m fully convinced carbs are the debil.

AT least for me anyway. I’m talkin gluten. This can’t be just a coincidence. I’m having horrible PMS…and what was I eating the last two weekends in a row?

the ‘G,’ word.

I don’t even know how to explain how gluten can affect someone like that, but DUH! Maybe that’s the cause of the scale not moving. (I know, I know)

I’m giving it up solidly again as an experiment. I did a 2 week experiment once a couple years back when I first found out I had an intolerance to it as a kid. I reintroduced it and had enough gas to light a stove and I felt horrible for days.

But a life without pizza ever ever again?

Kalle, but where do I find rocks in NYC?! HAHA! Hmm…

Aww MiM! Mommydom doesn’t come without its battles. lol! Hang in there! I love that your daughter can be so moody btw, just goes to show - our characters are destined from the start!

I’m glad you’ve made your mind up about the comp, altho of course I wish you were doing it (selfishly so I can applaud from the sidelines!) - but you can always come back to it.

Pics are gorgeous!! You ARE a total Betty! Muscles included!!

Ok. well, I’ve been drinking the better part of the day & not posted in your thread in a bit. But I still lurk, & this is what I think of your pics…

No way for you to give this up
it is in your body
it is in your blood
tear you down
lift you up
you keep turning likes its never enough

No question its powerful stuff.

You lookin’ better than good Betty! You are hurricanes & hand grenades.

LOL Maschy!
No, we will be battling until she’s at least 20.

Its been a tough year. And at this point I’m so burnt out and she feeds off of it. I don’t know if you all remember, but we went to counseling at the beginning of last Summer to get some issues sorted. Might be time to go back!

I wish I was doing the comp too!!! if only it was in October or Nov…I’ll keep my eyes peeled.
We should still plan a meet up…why not?!

Print drunk posted me, haha!! Will you still <3 me in the morning? :wink:
I appreciate it…scratches Prints belly

Yes on the Vargas girl up there! Whoot! Looking so strong, and still curvy.

You’re our PW pin-up, just like your avi!

Lots of refined carbs make me feel crappy too.

Hang in. He’s almost home!

I’ll bring them with me :slight_smile:

No but really some strongman have no access to stones such as Mikhail Koklyaev he just used a “stone trainer” which is just the end of a barbell unscrewed with bumper plates. He loaded a 500+lb stone at the Arnolds. He also is the best all around strength athlete in the world IMO. Just saying it can be done.

MiM I am about 95% gluten free most of the time and feel way better when I eat that way.

So instead of the comp in Aug I will do my first pin up photo shoot!!

:smiley:

Weight jumped up 3lbs, 4 days ago, and I’m kinda hangin out here. Despite having bites of fish sticks/fries on Friday and sodium ladened dinty moore stew last night. (I’m a lazy cook on these nights)

Funny thing?? The difference between carpet weight on the scale and the tile is 10 freaking pounds!! I feel more like the lower weight to be honest… I was just messing around…the difference is only 2 pounds for the kids.

Interesting tidbit, my temp also fell that morning (4days ago) from 97.5 to 96.5
(4 days before AF for scientific purposes) My temp was also the highest all last week.

Now I have data for comparative purposes.

Hey Kalle!

I’m GF most of the time, but I had been letting it slip in(thats what she said!)
and getting lazy on the weekends…

bad ju ju

I promise I am still keeping my eyes open for a strongman comp in the fall/winter.

But most certainly will do something next year and leave Maryland with a Bang!!

Wow, MiM you look great and strong, dont worry about those stupid 3 lbs, there in the right places :slight_smile:
Do the meets when your ready, and you will do awesome!

I like your short shorts!
