Training
1101

Lol I know Aqua, that was stupid of me. I was pissed.
Then another PT who was training decided that he should tutor me on what I did wrong.
I don’t like him. And I dislike him even more for thinking that he knows what my problem is.
But I work with him and I have to play nice rolls eyes

Yeah yeah Kalle, go ahead and de-diet them :wink:
Hence why I’m vague on my recipes. I know most others don’t need the diet version so might as well make 'em more deliciosu. Go ahead and use butter too! While I stick to cooking spray haha

Yeah Nadia, it’s not so much that I don’t think I’ll be ready, it’s just that I’ll be nervous now, I’ll be nervous in September. I just have to do it. I really feel like I’m being nervous for no reason.

Thanks MiM, in PW at least, things are mostly puppies and rainbows.
I wish life was as easy as PW at times.
I’m positive that you’ll do a BB show sooner than you think. You have a beautiful taper that you need to share with the world.

No training today, I’m sore from my scalp to pinky toe lol
Sadly couldn’t even fit cardio in.

Uhm, eats:
Protein pancakes with sugar-free syrup, 1/4 cup eggbeaters
Went to Pollo Tropical and had chicken leg and thigh, no skin, side salad and corn
Smoothie with mango, peach, 1/2 scoop PP powder and milk
2 chicken burritos with low-carb tortillas

I’m working on the BB poses and everything, it’s so exciting. I was fooling around with a posing routine at 12 this morning, posing for my mom and doggies and the pretty fishies, just trying to get a feel of what it’s like to pose for a minute and such.

I really need to think of a song to do my routine too, so if anyone wants to chime in there… :smiley:

EDIT:
I forgot to add the best news of my day.
Checked my BF today now I’m 16.9%
Just got a couple mm off my tummy. I feel the fat shedding there each day, but didn’t realize such miniscule changes add up.
So I’m ecstatic, and feeling more and more prepared for the comp.

Uhm, everyone knows that 5% is just for competing right? I’m not going to be “living my life” at that BF. [/quote]

you should do some research on how much essential fat to be ALIVE a woman needs. ;+)

or say “5% according to my gym’s bogus measuring devise”.

haha

i don’t mean to be a bitch but you’re using scientific terms and they just aren’t accurate.

holy shit!!! that’s seriously long. killed it!!!

1103

Stopping in to check on you. Seems like you’re doing alright. Mm-hmm…

1104

Why don’t you compile a few songs and we can vote?

As far as I know BB routines are slow and controlled so you need a song you can “liquidly” move through. Also the best routines have songs that just light up the contestants. Pic something that moves you and calls to you so you can smile and feel powerful through the song.

1105

Exciting times ahead. You can practice posing for us too! It also sounds like we need some updated progress pictures. It’s been awhile since you’ve treated us…

1106

Lol thanks for the drop-in Beasty

That’s a good idea N. Sadly the only song I have in mind is Alicia Keys Superwoman. I pretty much suck with slow songs but that’s the kind of song I want to pose to.

So… I’m sick. Bloody hell, who gets a freaking cold in Florida? My dumb ass.
Sometimes I feel like my body’s winning, and right now the cold is winning by a landslide.

But training goes on. I felt fine this morning (after I slept in) so luckily I was able to get in a good back and shoulder workout.

Yes, I do need posing vids, and since there are more than just 3 poses (as in Figure), they should be more entertaining.

By the end of the month, I should have some pics. I read that when going from 18-16% bodyfat, physically there aren’t many changes. Nowhere is that truer than in my case.
Hopefully when I’m 15.9%, I can wow everyone ;D

Gee, I’m a day late, dollar short with all the comments lol

Thank you, I can’t afford to be sick right now so let’s hope clean eats will help fight this shit.

great work on the shoulders! Beasting it! you can oad with calcium ascorbate and or camu camu powder to get the immune system back up and running. A mate of mine who just did a show had the same problems with a cold as he was cutting and thats what he used. You have a great frame for whatever you want to do, even if you didn’t, who are they to tell you what you can and can’t do? "Your heart is free, have the courage to follow it. " Malcolm Wallace.

is the seated MP with the barbell?

I’ve never tried that before, come to think of it…

sounds fun!

1112

Superwoman from Alicia Keys is a good one - try posing to it to see how it flows.

And I’m really pissed off at you. I get sick I go through 4 boxes of kleenex and a jar of aspirin and you hit like a bunch of PRs. I just can’t beleive you are sick Missy :wink:

1113

member this??
nom nom

1114

Well not only did you do hit a on of PRs do about 3 of my workouts in 1 but most importantly making good friends in the gym! Experienced training partners can be invaluable so congrats on that.

1115

wow, a lot of changes since I last visited…now BB’ing huh? I think that’s a sweet move girl. How did the 100 rep pressdowns have your tri’s feeling?

1116

Thanks Timmy, for the whole post :slight_smile:

Yeah MiM, I used a barbell.
And the other night, I was looking for that vid because I do like it. Thanks for posting it again.

N, I’ll try some poses to the music and if I don’t look retarded, I’ll get it up here :slight_smile:
Ha, the workout was a shock to me too.

Thanks Kalle, and they are definetely invaluable. I also get to practice posing with them. I’m so excited, in the quick 10 minutes that we spoke today, she already helped me with the lat spread. So I look forward to posing with her and the others.
She also told me what to expect day by day of the show, told me how to approach my peak week and she’s going to my show! Along with the personal trainer guy. I love them! <3

Yep Power, I’m basically getting threatened when I say that I want to do Figure. I’m happy someone saw that potential in me, because I always liked BBing, I just didn’t think I was cut out for it.
The 100 reps murdered my tris, I loved it.
And I swear that they’re looking better in my tricep pose. So I gotta keep doing them.

Eats for today:

Oatmeal, 1/2 scoop PP, and I cheated a little with vanilla yogurt covered raisins
PP shake in water
Slice w/w bread with 1 TBSP PB
1 cup brown rice, 2 servings of corned beef, 2 cups steamed cabbage
Uhm, I don’t even know what to say about my evening snack, I tried to make a protein pancake without the oat flour, and it was terrible. Someone told me that it worked fine for them, but apparently not for me.

So my failed pancake, and my cold, had me crying, something about wanting to have delicious food again :stuck_out_tongue:
You guys should be so happy you don’t have to be around me when I’m sick, I whine a lot.

1117

Heyo, 13 pullups, nice.

1118

Its a one of a kind video because I took it
:slight_smile:

This would be an awesome time for you to go to a comp…just to take it all in and to also see what your competition looks like.

1119

Thanks Bobbi and I would MiM, but there aren’t any comps around me before May.

I was ordered to bed rest, which is kinda good since I have some laundry and work to do anyway.
Oh wait, that’s not exactly bed rest, is it? Hm.

This morning, did 1 hour on the stairmill with ankle weights on.
Working out is the only time I actually feel okay. Now I feel like Death. And I’m watching, what is this called, Tuff Puppy? Ugh, FML.
