Awesome job on the new results, Aries!!!! :garza:

For maintaining at your contest weight or are you planning on not staying 130-135? If you want to maintain at 130, your range should be 1300-1600 calories a day- whatever works best for you.

The baseline is usually 40/30/30 - but you can tweek that to whatever your body responds to most effectively. I know, I'm not giving you much here, huh?!?! :)


THanks !!!! 1300-1600 is great... once I add in a variety of food it will be even BETTER :) 40/30/30 sounds good as well. I think I will try some things and figure out what works for me.

You helped me steer in a good direction :)

much appreciated!!!! :heart:
 
2pm: 5egg whites, 1c broccoli, .25c sweet potato
5pm: 1/2c brown rice, 1c broccoli, 6oz. Shrimp

You are helping SG :)

I agree it's completely subjective and you will need to find what works for you ... that base is a GREAT place to start from.
 
Speaking of "Aries".....did I miss your birthday? Did I TELL you happy birthday? When IS your birthday?!?!?!? Sorry, I've been in a tornado of SH*T lately!!!!! :lmao:

I will be turning 21 on April 13th....---->my contest is one weeks away from that. You know, for quite some time (mostly in High school-lol) all I ever planned for the big "21st b-day" was...what bar Im gonna get wasted at 'legally' and how much I am going to party....and who wouldve thought that I would end up one week away from a bb show and on top of it I never drink . life truly is strange....

My 21st sucked with a vengence!!! lol Too many Tequilla Sunrises and not enough friends. Total letdown. Do what makes you happy! Drink or no drink.

How's it going with the bf these days?
 
OH gosh 21st birthday haha, that was 1 I will never forget, I had probably 10 too many drinks lol and by 1am was face down on my hands and knees throwing up in a parking lot, thank goodness for a friend of mine cause she stood over me so the whole street didn't see my ass, lol I was wearing a tiny little skirt, ahhh what a horrible night, which turned into a horrible 3 days.

Yes as SG said do what makes YOU happy! :)

I guess Im kind of "cought in the mix" ... I am thinking along the lines of what is 'expected' these days. When I think about it, I would MUCH RATHER be one week out from a show ready to accomplish one of my goals.... it seems like a much better path to me than the whole drinking thing.

The bf is wonderful...Im the one with all the problems lol. But im working on it. :p we're both counting down to the competition....all he talks about is how much pizza he's gonna scarf down. Shoot...he CAN b/c he wont even feel it. I on the other hand will probably have 1 slice after the show and 10 minutes later my a$$ will double in size. Life is UNFAIR :evil:

So ..today at the gym, I noticed(for the first time) that guys are starring my way and the few girls that walk around the weight room with their 5lb dumbells are giving me the 'evil eye' . Im feeling pretty good right now :)

---- definite visible changes .. at least from where I started from. Now, i have ralized that i will not be 'contest material' 3 weeks from now. I understand that I started 13 weeks out with 50lbs of fat on me :( BUT...

Yes, I did lose 25lbs and will lose ~10 more BUT I am worried that I will get on that stage and people will sort of poke fun at me ...say that I dont look good enough to flex my shi* on stage.

---I hate those GIRLY days when I doubt my self. I know that I have made lots of improvements but still not good enough for a show. I guess I have to try my best and see what happens.

will post pics <----thats a promise :)

You have a GREAT positive attitude aries, we DO admire you & your hard work ... VERY MUCH :rose:

Remember what Sassy said about the last week & changes ... You ARE good enough to flex your $h1t on stage ... You deserve to be up there just as much as those other ladies.

All you can do is your best, and by far, you've proven that is SOMETHING you do VERY well!

We all have those days ... these are the tough days that go along with comp prep & you're handling them GREAT ... hang in there :heart:

Glad you are getting noticed ... You deserve it :rose:

hello everyone. I just thought I'd wish everyone a GOOD week. I've been busy with training and school (lots of tests this week :worried: ) so I havent been on here as much but Ive been trying my best to keep up with everyones logs.

The posing session went well.....just thought Id mention that my EX workout partner EX friend has dropped out of the competition. Now.... its time for the "I TOLD YOU SOOOOO" (in an evil voice).... looks like the clen (which by the way was incorporated with a CRAPPY diet and no taurine!!!) didnt help her out at all. Gee...wonder why ??

Also, I was wondering WHO keeps playing with the little 'label' under my name??? :)

-->one day it says good broly, then amateur BB, then the amateur crossed out...and now im an amateur again. HOW DOES THIS WORK>>? lol

Im off to bed....hope everyone has a good HUMP DAY tomorrow.

Lots of love,

~AriEs :heart:

Thanks dear!!! Your name should be sweet princess not ice princess :)

....im so nervous....its weird but when we all first started the competition prep, there were 12 girls who were gonna do the show. Now, THERE IS ONLY 3(including me). I dont understand..... my trainer said that most of the girls cheated too much on the diet and the rest would say that they dont want to lift weights b/c they "dont wanna get too big"... WTF??> what is wrong with women these days? :p

Just means that they didn't really want it bad enough to work for it, or as a popular county song says "Just call me Cleopatra everybody, 'cause I'm the queen of de-'Nile'!" Everything the other competitors are saying can be put down to one thing - excuses. But I don't see you having to worry about that - you won't be making excuses, you'll be making waves! Go Aries!

THank you for your support my friend:)

I've come to terms with my self in the sense that this is MY FIRST SHOW and that I started out A LOT heavier than most of the other girls. Now, I just recently got off the phone with my "friend- or whatever she is" and she says she still might do the show. I asked her WTF??? 10 weeks ago we started the diet together. I had just recently started lifting weights while she's been at it for 6 years. Ok, so she started at 18% BF and 153lbs....I on the other hand was almost 30%BF and 168lbs. Now, I've almost cought up to her and she's pissed (lol). I asked her what the big deal is? She said she has a problem with the diet...she cant give up carbs ...bread/cereal ...

I've come to a realization that these things are what makes the difference between someone who can actually partake in this sport and someone who just cant put the pieces together. I did not know what I was getting my self into. This becomes more evident with each and every hour, day, week, MONTH that goes by. I've subjected my self mentally and physically for the ULTIMATE screw-job (lol). What I mean is that Ive realized that this very sport is not for everyone. I did not know just how mind-screwing it is to DIET DIET DIET and lift lift lift. Then I find my self without an appetite and an insomniac on most nights. You would think that all this hard work will put your body to sleep but the mind obviouslly has other plans. I decided to do this show last year when I went to see it. I thought : "well, if those girls can do it, I can too". A girl was on stage who had lost 70lbs for the show!!!!! I have been overweight my whole life... I am a very big girl to the bone ... still...and always will be. My genetics are already what they are (thanks mom for these BIG serbian hips!!!!)

At the end of the day, I guess Im just "at peace" with the whole thing. Im doing something that will "hopefully" prepare me mentally and physically for the life I will have. After the competition is over, I will definitely EAT ... but I think I will only for a week. I've crossed over to the "other side". This side of me is happy to be a part of elite and to have met so many awesome people who have pointed me in the right direction, supported me all the way, and also knocked me on the side of my head when ever I was having a FAT-day :)

I apologize for the lenght of this rambling post. I just wanted to get some things off my mind.... and less than 4 weeks from today, I shall have my "stage moment" where I pat my self on the back and hopefully and finally for once in my life I can truly be happy with my self. :heart:

Aries, you're doing a GREAT job! I can't believe there are only 3 of you left! Have you said where your competition is? Can't remember right now, but I'm thinking not.

I think your "friend" is probably pretty envious of you, huh?!?! Maybe next time, she'll do it the right way and not use a pill as a crutch.

We'll all be here to pat you on the back too!!!!! :) :rose:

You never know.... 3 this week, 2 next week...the day of the show might be 15 of us. :)

.women are unpredictable like that...lol..I dont think she is envious with me but more 'upset' that I lost weight and she gained some and then is staying the same. She says she's doing the show so we'll see. She is still my BIGGEST competition bc she looks really good. Although,If I had trained for 6 years like her, I would rip her a new a-hole if you know what I mean.... for 6 years of BB you can do so much more than the base she has. I doubt that she will learn, I tried to help her but she didnt listen. PM if you would like to come to the show. I think/hope bunny will be there!

Last night at the gym I thought of you. I was going to skip a couple of exercises and you popped into my head - "what would Aries do?" So I did them, with intensity and felt good about myself.

That is until I went and ruined it by partying too hard, but...well...I've still got work to do. You're right - not everyone can do what you're doing.

Love ya, girl :heart:

But... I will take the compliment and I will definitely keep it in my mind when ever I feel like Im starting to act 'negative'. Thank you for your praise and supprt!!!!

LOve ya back girl!!!! :bigkiss:

I apologize for the lenght of this rambling post. I just wanted to get some things off my mind.... and less than 4 weeks from today, I shall have my "stage moment" where I pat my self on the back and hopefully and finally for once in my life I can truly be happy with my self. :heart:
I'm very proud of you!!!! You know some people just can't hang and your so-called friend is jealous. I have a friend here at work that I will be keeping my distance from because we have the same goal.. yet she likes to go out partying all the time, and refuses to buy a gym membership because it costs money :rolleyes: She has the physique for figure. Needs to work on her butt some, but every time she asks about my program you can hear the undertone in her voice like she is hoping I screw up because she has a hard time committing herself. When I started losing weight on the Shadow plan last year all she would talk to me about was how fat she was, and how I didn't need to lose any weight that I was already to thin. Well people will try and halt your progress but you know what the goal is... You just have to ignore all the sticks in your path and kick them aside and stay clear of them.
You help me keep motivated for my own competition and you are doing great!!!
 
Thanks treil and IP.

Im 'hanging' around the gym branches ...lol... trying my best. THanks soooooooo much for all the daily support ladies. Im happy to be in the right place here with all of you.

-Its funny what you said TReil b/c I spoke with this girl yesterday. SHe was trying to convince me that I should be doing more cardio right now and not worry about the weights. YEAH RIGHT..I just told her that what Im doing is working for me and Im sticking to it. And we had a pose down...and I straight up caught up to her. I am living proof that proper diet and training can do so much more than the so called "pill" aka " clen with which everyone is so fixated on". I just cant believe that I could in aprox. 6-7 months achieve what this girl has been trying to do for years and years. Im sure that by next year she wont even compare. You are right, people are two-faced and will try to knock you down any chance they can. My so called 'friend' tried to do it to me many many times but I stuck to my guns.

IP- GOOD JOB on the weight loss. Im looking forward to the 9% BF in June results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait to watch you kick butt! :p

Well.... That's exactly it... What works for you and you find is working well.. Stick with it!!! Now that she has stressed herself out about you more then likely she'll even have a harder time dropping the weight because her body will want to store fat when stressed...

I feel ya Aries! I'm a college student too, and I spend my Friday nights at the gym and at home studying. Sometimes it's depressing, but you just have to keep telling yourself that all your hard work will be a major payoff.

I don't mind it either Aries :rose:

As of right now, my taste for alcohol & partying is non-existant ... I love it ... partying was gone a LONG time ago, the booze, even a glass of wine with dinner, is not there anymore ... I hope I can keep this under control from now on :rose:

I have NO DOUBT that you can do what ever you set your mind on. Booze sucks anyway....I never liked it and never will .

YOu are a strong woman and you will have no problem saying no to alcohol....aspecially since it does so many bad things to your body not to mention slow down progress.... the negatives wayyyy over power the little 'positives' about alcohol (although Im not sure what the positive's are anyway).

You can do it ;)

Girl, that is the life of most of us. I am not in college, but I don't go out and I, well, have no life! :lmao: I think most of us would rather be superhot than go out and party and drink. :heart:

And honestly, it's so much better for us. And we don't look like flaming idiots...out, drunk, and making fools of ourselves. ;)
 
Aries :rose: Thank you :loveyou:

I wasnt talking about drinking b/c I HATE alcohol. Ive seen it destroy quite a few lives and relationships so I have no interest in it! However, I was talking more about the friendships and just having people around...being out in social situations.... its always just me and the boyfriend. Everyone we know is just interested in going out to get smashed...while we are just kinda 'hangin' around.... you know what I mean?. I dont wanna go out to a bar b.c I dont drink and HATE smokers and the smell of it all! Besides that, there is NOTHING else to do. We ended up seeing a movie last night and it was the PERFECT remedy for a sour evening (lol). SLITHER was soooooo funny and sooooooooooooo GROSSSSSS ewwwww... :eek2: I dont ever wanna see that again but It sure made me laugh a lot!

Yes... I do miss going out though .. playing pool, dancing, but seeing others take it past fun, smoking, drugs, complain about how bad life is, what a b*tch this girl/guy is etc, .. such a turn off & once in a while, when it's time to let loose (and I don't mean drinking, just going OUT) it's ok ... but I'd rather go to the gym ... It's Friday, "party at the moontower" (ala Dazed & Confused)... I'm like Ouuu it's NICE out I'm going for a run & to hang with my puppy ...

:rainbow: :heart:

SUch a great role model you are....I hope you have a younger sister or brother :)

I agree with you...I just havent really HAD that going out party stage yet...so thats why I question my self a little bit as far as staying away from all that kinda stuff. But you girls are all right.... looking superhot is MORE important... come to think of it, there is SO MANY girls on this capus with GIANT belly's... I think they call them "foopa's" . YOu get them from drinking a lot and from eating campus cafeteria food(lol)...yea im mean but so what, I bust my booty in the gym and dieting :)
 
You just reminded me of my past -- not that I was ever a heavy partier, but I've had 4 distinct phases of partying in my life related to the 4 different universities I attended (ugh... between 1983 & 1998. My tolerance for the party crowd diminishes each time, but what I find is the people just seem to get dumber every time I go out. Maybe the drugs are getting better. I dunno.

A lot of it is a question of balance. I used to party A LOT when I was in school. I went to school in one of the craziest cities in the US, so partying was just what we did. I think that you can have a good time as long as you create a nice balance.

In any event, you should be MEGA proud of yourself right now. I would not have even dreamed of doing what you are doing while in school. And strut your stuff on campus...and let the foopa's eyes be green with envy. ;)
 
FOOPAHS .... OMG .. put it away pluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuueeese ... It's one thing to be confident in your own skin... it's another to let it all hang out ... literally

Have a great evening! :) :rose:

How are the tests coming along? And how are you feeling on the low carbs? Mucho brain fuzziness?

THAT dog is adorable :)

The test today went well..,now I have to study for the other one... Im feeling ok...not fuzzy at all....it ususally takes me 3-4 days of REALLY low carb...then I bump it up the next day... to like 120g :)
 
FlyBrownChick said:
Thanks! That's my sweet boy. That's who I hang with on the weekend.

Do you count veggies in your carbs? Just curious...

Yes...but they have VERY little. I eat salad once in a while.... sometimes(rarely) green peppers...other than that JUST broccoli...it has 4g carbs/serving :)....I have 2-3/day
 
I've been busy since Friday and I'm trying to catch up on all these logs! Sorry I've been away. Good job staying away from the party crowd. I miss going out like some of the others, but I don't miss getting stupid drunk. Those were the old days. I haven't been out in three years....of course, that will change the weekend of Treil's show! But that's a whole other subject......

....anyway, diet looks really good. Getting clooooossssseeeerrrrr - you're gonna' be great! :)

Dont even worry about it....I understand. Ive been busy like crazy too. The end of a school year is always the toughest. No interest in the 'party crowd' here. The more I think about it the more I see how I barely even have time to do what has to get done every day. NOw, as far as this 'whole other subject' you just go ahead and have your self a GOOD A$$ TIME!!! You deserve it.... have fun!!!!

WHy did you have to remind me Im getting cloooooossssssssseeeeerrrrrrr????

LMAO :sick: :sick:
 
Hey girl - I just wanted to drop in and wish you good luck with all of your tests, as your semester winds up!! Just think, it is almost OVER (the semester that is!!) :arty:

Haha! Do you ever get sick of broccoli? I can't stand the smell of it anymore..it HAS to be mixed with something for me to eat it now.

When does the semester officially end?
 
I am gonna be up on stage April 22nd :) IP..... and oh so sooooon :worried:
Im just 'hangin' in there ya know.... time is flying by :)

Fly- I could NEVER get sick of broccoli... i love it...it makes the very boring contest diet taste better... i put it in everything.. from stir fry to omelete. Im done with finals May 14th :) so right after the show I will be cramming to get all my studying done . Oh boy... the hard part is yet to come.

*As far as the competition,I will not even come close to a low enough body fat for a contest but as far as progress, Ive made the most out of everyone... I started out with a really BIG fat booty so that kinda played a part. Now, since Im gonna keep working hard .... even after the show... by next year... I might have a chance :). Everyone just tells me that the first one is the learning experience and to not expect too much, so I wont. Ill be happy to JUST get enough guts to get on that stage... unless I puke all over everyone first. Im so darn nervous... and its getting CLOSER! ;)

You've put in some serious work...keep it up! I can't wait to see the result of all this butt kicking that you've been doing!

Thanks hun. Its hard for me as far as any kind of self asteem goes b/c I started being really overweight as a small child and all through school... then in HS I got sick with an eating disorder and got really skinny THE WRONG WAY. Then in college I started to get smarter... I decided to go to school to be a Nutritionist so that I can one day open a clinic for eating disorders and help men/women who struggle through life.... and recently just got into lifting weights and DIET and Im trying to attempt to do a BB show... HOW THAT HAPPENED i donno.... mostly my boyfriend. But, any day that goes by that I dont feel bad or guilty about eating ... is a good day. im just happy Im done with all that.... I hope that after the show I can learn some things that will help me make the right diet/training choices throughout the rest of my life so I can FINALLY be happy with how I look.

*I cant wait to post BEFORE(the very first pic taken in Feb.) and AFTER pics(day of the show)!!!!! :qt:

I'll be honest.. everything SUX right now. Im under a LOT of pressure but trying to stay calm. Im doing HW right now.. trying to get all these darn projects and papers done for this week and next week. Going over posing (in my head for now LOL)... school is too much at the moment. At least I dont have an appetite so im not being an emotional eater like I ususally would be.

As far as taking anything... someone should kick me in the head for even asking. __-___-___ *I will stick to diet and training ONLY* ___-___-___ :)

One thing at a time. Take a deep breath. Walk away from whatever has you stressed for a little bit, go refresh and then try it again. It'll be ok!

I would say try to breath, but I don't think you can. Do you have a daytimer? Take some time out, if you can, write down all the things you have to get done, and schedule time in for posing and everything else. Sounds like you wouldn't have time to eat if you wanted to.

and as far as you asking, don't worry about that, everybody will or would at some time think about it!

One thing at a time.... I hope that helps, if not you can tell me to shut up anytime, I won't be offended! :)
