It’s pretty vague at this point but I seem to recall you leaving a few pounds on the platform at that meet . . .
If anyone is curious about what I did at the grade 7 talent show it was stand up comedy
HHAHA
Seriously…

NOW, I know what you’re thinking.
Ass day again Jenn?!
Well, yes, I had to switch it around because I open Saturday and I didn’t want to do intervals in the afternoon because I’m more likely to be farty at that time and no one likes a treadmill farter.

Hmmmmmm
No, good.
Okay so I have some news:
Today a woman approached me and asked if I was going to compete.
Something I get asked at the gym often actually, and I gave my typical
“Ya maybe in like 5 years when I have the confidence. I dunno. It’s always in the back of my mind, but I honestly can’t even walk in heels so I’d make a total ass of myself”
So she started saying she’s always wanted to do it, but has never gone through with it. ANd right now she’s going through a divorce and thought it would be a great thing for her emotionally to do a show, but with money issues yadda yadda.
I was like “okay, well if you compete, I’ll compete”
And she was like
“Ya that’s what I was getting to. I am going to compete, I have officially made the decision and I am going to hire a coach today.”
So I was like
“Oh shit, now I have to compete”
And she’s like
“Ya it’s 16 weeks away girl”
I was like
:S
She told me who she was hiring (this little trainer guy at my gym who I always see training that hot womenzz) and that we’d make a great support system for one another.
THere’s also another lady who she talks to that is going to compete as well.
I guess maybe I can go through with this. It’s basically all I think about and it’s not like it’s a life or death situation. I’ll either do good and feel awesome, or do shitty and feel awesome that I did it even though it terrified me.
I ran a marathon.
Not only that, but I finished in decent time even though I consumed Gatorade half way through and that stuff gives me the shits.
There was at least 10 minutes of porta-potty time in there.
I did a powerlifting meet even though I knew I’d be one of the weakest ones there (truth)
I also did a talent show in grade 7 even though I got harassed daily and had no friends or talents to actually perform
LOL.
HOWEVER, some concerns:
I would need to hire someone and that scares me because I like planning my own workout routines. I have a pretty good handle or what exercises work well for me and what I think doesn’t benefit me very much.
Maybe I could just hire a diet coach?
But then who?
I could hire that dani shguahrntn person who’s married to that chris shguanntunt person ? Cause I creep her website all the time and she’s kind of my idol.
Or I could do some research ?
I think now is as good at time as ever.
I have good family support. I can afford it because I am still at home and I was thinking I wont move out until Gabe has to start JR high and change schools anyway…?
OK
Thinking finished
Chest day the best day tomorrow!
BYE

Do it. I will support you !! I will come to the meet n make u a sign 
I think you can handle your own training, you should hire John Meadows for diet.
I’m glad you are still logging, you and Ct Rock have inspired me to up the volume in my training.

What a mighty fine day.
So I am going to have to make some decisions RE: my diet.
I am plateauing [sort of]
I kinda told myself that I would build muscle until the end of Jan. and then try to lose a few pounds in Feb.
But since I am terrified of getting fat I have basically been trying to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.
Then I freak out if the scale goes up even though I have been #beastmode-ing all of my workouts and getting better/stronger at everything.
I am disordered, SLIGHTLY 
Building muscle is really fun, and being hungry sucks.
I would like to be like OKAY JENN, be fearless, be hulky, grow them muscles and cut when you can’t stand it any longer.
But then I am worried that I’ll just love the muscle building part so much I’ll never want to endure the actual cutting and I’ll end up 150lbs again.
…
We shall see what I decide.
I don’t really know what’s wrong with my diet, I thought it was pretty strict to begin with so YUHhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Oh, I noticed something.
Duo-tang boy doesn’t make eye contact, ever.
I noticed this because I was trying to make eye contact.
He wont look at me.
So na na na foo foo, I am not the only one !!!
I even made conversation and commented on how long he says here for (3hrs LOL) (he is worse than me)
ANd he just mumbled some stuff and made some sigh-like noises, but still wouldn’t look up at me.
LOOK AT ME YOU FOOL I AM TRYING TO FLIRT !!!
I SAID LOOOOOOK ATTTTT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WHeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I wonder what I should nick name this person
Duo-tang boy seems somewhat fitting
DTB
D-TB
DT Boy
It just doesn’t flow as smoothly as BG
It needs to be two letters only

But then it’s like I am just talking about a duo-tang and not a boy
DB

Maybe since he can’t look you in the eyes you can just call him “pussy”.
I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty pumped about you competing.

Well I am still really worried about being able to find a diet coach that I want to work with.
They have to be in my price range + include T-Nation products in their program, so combining both those things will be very difficult, ha-ha.
I would hire john meadows since it’s no secret how much I admire him, but the figure athlete bundle he offers also includes training so it’s not really in my budget. :S
I wish it was april so I could just use my tax return money
The energy in this thread is great. I enjoy reading your log. I am also glad you did not leave. This site is much more interesting with you in it. Keep killing it in the gym, I look forward to seeing your progress and competition prep.

Maybe I should dial back the volume…? I am not sure if it is hindering my gains or not…
I have tons of energy throughout my workout though. It’s not like I’m getting weaker or struggling to finish.
Maybe I’ll post a topic or something and ask for advice, I love advice obviously…
UMM THINKING:
So I was tossing and turning last night thinking about competing and it’s like dude, you cannot justify spending at least 2000 dollars solely on yourself. I am mad at myself for even considering doing something so selfish.
Sure, it might be good for my self-esteem, but like, that could be an investment into Gabe’s college fund.
Or even something more fun like a family vacation to Disney land for just the two of us.
And it’s funny cause that woman came up to me today and basically said she couldn’t handle spending that much money on herself right now because she wants to help her daughter buy a car, etc…
I am sure there are people thinking I am backing out because of anxiety/fear, but I honestly would love to do something like this and if I won some money I wouldn’t give it a second thought.
HOWEVER, I still want to challenge myself and maybe work on dieting more/tweaking shit so I can see my potential and awesome-ize my body like it’s never been awesome-ized.
Not 100% sure what I want to do yet exactly.
Maybe something simple like cut out 100 calories per day for a week, then 150, etc…
OR start carb cycling, hamstring/quad days high, ass day medium, back/shoulder/chest day low…
OR UM
more like having higher calorie days and lower calorie days based on the same schedule above…
I DUNNO! I need to organize my thoughts so I can figure out something that I am content with. I try to do everything right and work as hard as I can, but I still look like middle of the pack, DYEL kinda thing.
It’s bothersome and frustrating, but I have 100% faith that I can improve things and achieve some pretty stellar results.
I just want to be perfectly muscle-ized and have no fat, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK?!

WELL EXAMPLE:
Say John Meadows took off his gym clothes and went to the mall or a movie theater. People would be like “holy f#*#@! That dude looks like the hulk. He clearly lifts, etc…”
Take off my gym clothes and throw me in a public setting and no one would know that I work out 2hrs a day.
It’s not like “in yo face” muscle, ya know?! I need some in yo face muscle dammit!!
