Jen's 2008 Off-Season Log

[jenscats5]

Hey all! Simply creating the log for now....haven't been to the gym since last Monday (Back/Shoulders) as I've been sick with a stomach virus..... :toilet: Don't think it'd be a good idea to try squats, y'know? LOL

I'm hoping to get back to the gym next week....I'm getting tired of the 5am routine tho, so I'm thinking of switching to PM gym time maybe....not sure if I want to deal with the crowds tho....maybe I'll try it for a week & see....

I haven't been feeling "right" for a while now - so I'm thinking I'm not getting enough sleep + work has been hectic. January into Feb. is our busy time due to year-end close out & getting budgets done & the audit, etc, which is why I'm thinking of trying afternoon workouts again....

[T-Cake]

Glad you're back in here :) I'm "IN" ;)

[Mrs Croft]

Glad to see you back Jen :kiss: changing time of workout could be worth a try..sometimes your body just needs 1. a change and 2. the extra sleep in :wiggle:

[dubdubs]

can't wait to keep an eye on this one. Change is good and will kickstart your body. Get plenty of rest too..

[Que_66]

:D IN HIYA JENS!!

[claire]

I'm in. Glad to see you posting a log again. :)

[jenscats5]

Thanks guys!! Glad everything is back up again....

[Beverly McD.]

Any comps on the horizon?

[jenscats5]

Any comps on the horizon?

Not this year......in order to be more competitive, I need to add about 10lbs of muscle - so I'm working on that.....

[Big Sky Guy]

Not this year......in order to be more competitive, I need to add about 10lbs of muscle - so I'm working on that.....

Wohooo 10 pounds!


Don't ask me why that makes me excited :)

I guess it is all the work you are doing to make it happen is just out and out motivating!


Get-R-Done Jens!

[jenscats5]

Well thank you sir! I'm certainly trying.....hate that "fat" feeling tho....meh!

[Big Sky Guy]

Well thank you sir! I'm certainly trying.....hate that "fat" feeling tho....meh!

I know fat very well my dear! I did not reduce BF much last summer so I have gone 2 years since really seeing ME.

There are pics here to prove that I am still fat. So having been more or less bulking for 2 years I am in full commisseration with not liking the fat feeling :D

[takniteasy]

Hey Jens! I'm in too! :bear:

[T-Cake]

You get to add 10 lbs?! I'm jealous!!! I know that bloaty feeling, though... ugh, that would suck. No one likes to feel rotund (even when they are farrrrrrrr from it, goofy girl).

I LOVE your avi! :D Where did you find it?!

And hooray for new gloves and a belt! You be stylin' now! :bear:

Well, I'm going to TRY to add 10lbs of muscle - don't know if I can, so we'll see.....who knows how much fat will go along with that??

[Florencia]

Hello Beauty!!!
I want the 10 lbs of muscle too! Ok I'd be good with 8 lbs. ON my botty alone!

Thanks guys! I've recovered from my stomach virus, but the cold is still lingering on.....I haven't been to the gym as I figure people wouldn't appreciate me coughing all over them. My head (ears, nose) are completely clogged & I can't smell or taste anything.

Plus, we've been VERY busy at work, so I've been working a good amount of OT......

I recovered from that pretty quickly but then got a horrible cold.....I'm feeling better for the most part but I'm still coughing....Going to try going to the gym tonite & see how it goes......I'm tired of getting up at 5am, so I'm hoping the gym isn't too crowded at nite....

[jenscats5]

good job on keeping the cardio in :kiss:

I think I need to do a LOT more.....caught my reflection in the dressing room mirror today.....I am SOOOOOOO fat.....argh!! :brickhead:

[Mrs Croft]

I know you said your taking this year off to build BUT if you are finding that your motivation is just MIA without the deadline..maybe it's worth looking at a comp late in the year to give you a deadline :dunno: just a thought. I know I work better with a finish line to aim for :wiggle:

[Florencia]

I think I need to do a LOT more.....caught my reflection in the dressing room mirror today.....I am SOOOOOOO fat.....argh!! :brickhead:

But you are on the right highway!!!:cheer::cheer:

[Beverly McD.]

:nod:Sounds like you need a good heavy dose of sunshine and blue skies!

In the meantime, try a tanning bed. If nothing else, brown fat is not as ugly as white fat!:rofl:(that's the theory I live by, anyway!)

[sassy69]

Might help to set some short term goals as far as PRs or size of bicep or something :) I know the challenges of not having a near term goal....

[Que_66]

:kiss:

I dunno if a goal would help as it's more a feeling of just being sick of going to the gym all the darned time & being so tired cuz of work......


:kiss:

:hi5: :heart:

Do you ever go to the gym without a plan? Just do whatever exercises you want and enjoy working out. Or maybe try a totally different workout plan.

I think we all just need some sunshine :)

[sassy69]

Amen to sunshine & warmth!

[jenscats5]

Amen to sunshine & warmth!

Don't gloat....LOL

Actually, no not really......I find it's easier to go off a list & just plow thru it.....to get done faster......


But you are on the right highway!!!

The Super-Fat Whale highway? Does that make me endangered? HA!

[jenscats5]

OK, I've manned up and am going for it.....the auditors come in tomorrow & I don't want to chance a long day so my stuff is in the car & I'm going to the gym in the AM.....

Jens you are a trooper! Winter got in the way!!
I hope You will be happy soon!
And about the "right highway" I mean you are in muscle bulding phase, and once you gain it you will cut.
What was that you used to say about life and destination?

[claire]

Awesome job getting to the gym :)

[jenscats5]

... and what a work out it was!!! 45lbs for bent overs I am jealous!

Well, they were the kind where you row with your right arm & your left knee & hand are on a bench.....I think that's what they are called..... Thank you!


nicely done Jen those AM workouts suck but once it's done..its done

Thanks Crofty! Good thing I went since I ended up with a 9.5 hour day today..... :sleep:

[T-Cake]

So you don't always do morning workouts? :) It's tough, girl, but you did it and it's DONE and you did AWESOME!

The first time I started those workouts in the morning, I was getting up at 4am in the dead of winter in MI and it sucked, man! Now, I'm useless on mornings I don't do it, honestly. Takes time, but it's soooooo much better than training at night. Less crowded, no cramped spaces, open cardio equipment, minimal people there who aren't regulars -- we have a little morning gym family at my gym, and we like it. :) I'm glad you did it today!

[wlmcrae]

Well, I can't find the little cheerleader, but maybe this will do . . :elephant: :elephant: :elephant:

Winter in the snow and cold and dark is tough - I know ALL about it (live north of the 60th parallel) and tanning beds are my savior! But I LOVE the comment 'brown fat looks better than white fat'. I need to use that.

I started going to the gym in the am for my contest prep......prior to that I always went in the afternoon right after work at 4pm before it gets TOO mobbed.....then after my shows, I kept going in the morning.....

Lately tho, I'm just tired of getting up so early......AM workouts don't energize me at all.....But I'm tired all the time anyways (have always been that way).

Are you maybe getting burned out? I don't have anything different to tell you than what everyone else has said but I do know the spot you are in. Been there countless times myself. Perhaps you could take some time away from the gym completely and do some pampering on Jens. Especially since you are working alot and you have been sick.

Hope it gets better for you soon!:kiss:

Well more than the first few steps.....a good amount of steps.....at least it means I worked hard....



Been feeling the workouts this week....feel like I lost some strength with those 3 weeks off but I'm hoping it'll come back soon.....

And I made 1 goal of the year!!!! Got an appt for a Mammogram in 2 weeks right after the dentist.......So I'll get my teef picked & my boobs squished....but I've put off doing it for no particular reason for a couple years....but the appt is made.....:hi5:

Planning on going for my bloodwork next week.....

[dubdubs]

OMG i love that kitty too...

that does sound like a killer circuit.

I did shoulders and again forgot that exercise you posted. I did some drop sets with my dbs and I felt like crying. Then went on to tris. I feel good.

Great work Jen... :baby: and peanut butter makes everything better and I mean everything.. :chef:

Shoulder circuit sounds like a good one... although I am kinda digging my tri-set that I do with a 4/0/0 tempo.

Also makes the shoulders burn a tad bit :)

Oh you do regular deads?? I've only really done the SLDLs.....

[jenscats5]

Oh and a knee update.....

4/4 will be 2 years since my surgery.....so I'm due for the testing again....gotta do hop tests w/the brace on (maybe no brace, not sure) and then I have to do the electric-shock thing + the 2 hour + motion analysis test.....This will complete my testing for good....It'll be interesting to see how strong my right leg is now....last test it was only just over 80% of the left....

[Mrs Croft]

Oh you do regular deads?? I've only really done the SLDLs.....

just started doing regular deads again about 4 weeks ago..love them :grin: but not sure if I should encourage you to do them or not :dunno: the numbers you do on everything else, I am guessing you would catch me in no time :lol:

Oh, food today.....

Co-worker had a birthday and she's been feeling down, so I went out & bought a $5 gerber daisy plant to cheer her up....she seemed to like it....but for the Bday, we had brownies & a peanut butter mousse pie. I had 1 slice of pie and it was SOOOOO good....What I was happy about was that I had only ONE slice of the pie when I usually would have had 2+ & didn't eat any brownies - which I could have anytime, really, nothing special. I had the pie cuz it's not something I'd buy and it's from a place I'm not close to.....So, in general I'm happy about that....

So food was:

M1
Homemade Breakfast Sammich:
100 cal WW English muffin + 2 eggs + 1 slice FF cheese + 1 meatless patty + 1 packet ketchup

M2
Technically, the pie

M3
Turkey + roasted veggies (carrots, asparagus, potatoes, onions, peppers)

M4
PWO shake - 1 scoop protein powder + BCAAs + glutamine

M5
Greek salad w/chicken + a piece of spinach calzone

[Beverly McD.]

I'm pretty sure if you drink a diet coke while you eat the pie, the diet coke cancels out the calories in the pie.;)

Great job stopping at 4!

[Gymgurl]

Oh and a knee update.....

4/4 will be 2 years since my surgery.....so I'm due for the testing again....gotta do hop tests w/the brace on (maybe no brace, not sure) and then I have to do the electric-shock thing + the 2 hour + motion analysis test.....This will complete my testing for good....It'll be interesting to see how strong my right leg is now....last test it was only just over 80% of the left....

WOW Has it really been that long already.....Doesn't seem that long ago!

I prefer Xtend....it's a powder you mix with water - it's tasty too!! My favs are Watermelon & Lemon.....the Orange is good too......

Thanks Tcake!! :cupcake: Always love when you stop by.....Be ready for DOUBLE drop sets this week!! Ahhhhh!!

I'll have to post some more pics up.....

[jenscats5]

Oh here's a pic of the path we made last weekend......Where the black wire is - we put 3 landscape lights yesterday......where the dirt is, we're going to put sod and/or plants......

http://i26.tinypic.com/206llck.jpg

And here's a picture of the yard from the deck......Where the hill is up to the fence, we're going to put plants so we won't have to mow it.....plus, it'll look nicer.....and this weekend also along the top there, we have a buffer with the landscape ties to the fence....so I filled in a little bit more pea gravel and we secured the ties to the ground so they don't roll down the hill.....The house behind us is vacant & for sale, so we're going to jump the fence & secure the cinder blocks better to their leaves don't wash down into our yard as much.....

Curious..are those type of fences pretty much the "norm" in America :dunno: I would find it strange to be able to see into your neighbors back yard :ahh: we have timberlap fencing that is about 6f tall..so you can't see over at all..

Yep - it's a cheap way to divide the property line.... I guess after living in the inner city for 17 years, I don't find it strange to see into the other yards but we are planning on putting up fencing....

In the one pic where the path is, the entry way will be a 6ft privacy fence with a gate & along where my wood scraps are might be tall trees - haven't decided yet....

catching up, insane workouts, love the path!

Thanks girlie!! :rose: I planted some grass plants in between the lights, so when they fill in it should look really nice....


Sunday 4/6

Spent the day today digging in the dirt in the yard......planted some plants along my walkway and pulled a ton of onion grass + laid out peat moss; turned some dirt over in a big planting bed, pulled all the weeds, raked it and used the leftover dirt/junk to fill in a hole in the yard by the road where people were parking on the grass before we moved in......we also jumped the fence in the yard behind ours & redid the small "retaining wall" that had fallen apart (just 2 levels of old lanscaping ties) -- no one lives there & it's for sale so we did on the day the construction crew wasn't around.....

I'm tired & sore, so to me it counts as exercise.....

[sassy69]

Are you seeing some hypertrophy w/ all that power?

Thursday 4/10

Wow! What a GREAT day!!

Lindsay (the cat) had to go to the vet today for dental surgery. They had to do a big cleaning & were expecting to have to extract her teeth.....Dropped her off at 7:30am and I didn't cry.....the vet called at 10:30 and said she's done and they didn't have to take any teeth out. Whoooo!! :banana: She has some gingivitis but he's expecting it to maybe heal up with all the gunk gone. With cats, dirty teeth often lead to kidney disease and her kidney values are on the high side of normal. So the purpose of it all was to head off the kidney disease advancing. So good news there!

She's been almost paranoid recovering from the anesthesia, but no wheezing (good sign) and she's eaten & drank.....

Also had my 2 year post-op testing today.....got the 1 and done on the leg electrocution and got to explain Figure to a PT from Norway. I have NO swelling and am back to full ROM - 4 hyperextention on my left & 3 on my right. Both legs are as strong as they were 1 year ago and the right is stronger than it was last year. I hate the Burst test with a passion, so I don't think I gave the test my all TBH. But since the level was the same as last year, they took it. So good new there too!

It ended up I got it all done earlier than I thought and got to plant the plants I bought today in a new flower bed we dug out....

[Mrs Croft]

great to hear the test went fine :grin: now back into it girlie :lol:

[jenscats5]

Does digging a hole count?

Damn WORK is hard! I'd never make it on a farm....Today's project was buying a 1/2 pallet of Fieldstone then unloading it from the truck and digging the hole for the pond. We bought a pond kit which has a hard plastic liner that you set into the ground. So we (mostly hubby) dug the hole today which was a royal PITA cuz of all the tree roots - they had to be cut to be able to dig out the dirt.....the darn thing is about 3-4 feet deep, then we'll surround it with the fieldstone.....

Shoveling dirt & cutting roots is nothing like weights....

[SBT]

Hey sista!!!

Was thinking of giving that shoulder blaster circuit a shot... it it 5 reps of everything each time through too?? I'm assuming a minute or two break and then repeat the 5 exercise circuit?

Oh wait I see this time you did it different, and did 6 reps for each and 4 times around correct?

Yeah, you can change up how many times you do the circuit - any number of times is fine.....

But you do say, 5 reps of lat raises, then immediately do 5 reps of O/H press, then 5 reps of bent over lat raises, then 5 reps of front raises then 5 reps of upright rows. That's 1 circuit.....rest for a minute then do it again.....

** I don't know why, but all my sets seemed terribly difficult tonite.....I had a hard time lifting the weights I normally lift....frustrating! My Red Blast didn't help even a bit either.....maybe I need a bigger dose.....

And I'm not happy about our gym's new policy of NO bags in the gym - NONE at all! I have a mini back pack where I keep my Ipod, backup Ipod, 2 sets of gloves, 2 sets of straps, a resin back, pencils, chap stick, etc -- I USE all of this stuff, so how am I supposed to carry it around the gym?? I can see no duffel bags with all your clothes & jackets & stuff....but I need my stuff! This is BS! :bash:

[badgergrl]

Nice lifts there, lady! :greengrin:

How many red blasts are you taking? I upped my dose recently from 4 to 5 and noticed a considerable difference.

Thanks!! The circuits aren't going anywhere so you'll get back to it.....Don't hurt yourself.....

I want to do your circuit at some point. I think it looks really fun and challenging. I can almost feel the nausea kicking in just thinking about it!

Friday 4/25

Was going to do cardio tonite, but my step-daughter came over with some news (she's moving into her own place!) so we took her out to dinner instead.... *sniff* she's all growed up now.....

Saturday 4/26

Was planning on going to the gym today to do my leg workout under the drop set routine, but we decided to go out & get a 1/2 pallet of Field stone. Once we unloaded it from the truck I decided to rearrange the field stones around the fountain as we got some BIG ones in the new load. Then we put the rest around the flower bed we had made at the base of the deck. THEN we went out & got 1/2 yard of tan & white egg river rock and a downspout extension for the front of the house to direct the water away from the house & down the washout. Then we covered the extension with the river rock......

Once we got all that done, I was TIRED!! But I need to make up that workout somewhere.....either tomorrow or I'll do 2 leg workouts next week.....

[CK]

I think we needed updated pics of the house again!

[jenscats5]

I think we needed updated pics of the house again!

Honestly, I kind of don't see any purpose in taking pics..... 1) I'm so pale you can't see anything and 2) I don't have ANY definition at all even with my lifts being up and I'm stronger......so there's really nothing to see..... :dunno:

Don't you worry sunshine..I can see you are getting stronger and that is bound to equal more muscle WHEN you do cut back down :grin:

So are you DEFINITELY not competing this year or are you going to see how you go :dunno:

I liked them, but then I got sick of them......and I'll do what I'm told to do as my workouts are given to me by my coach....he usually does give me circuits as I get closer to show time tho.....


Your killing the workouts there sistah!!!

Thank you ma'am!! Just trying to keep up with you!!

**OK I will preface this by saying I did NOT want to go to the gym tonite....feeling lazy & tired.....my boss left work early so I lazed around a bit during my last 1/2 hour there.....so I was paging thru my F&P magazine and began reading about a male competitor who contracted a flesh-eating bacterial disease in his leg and he had to have it amputated. However, he still works out & competes.....they have a few pics of him and it was a very nice story.

I was at the gym a couple of days ago and there was a 19ish year old kid there who clearly thought he was the shit. He got on a leg press and threw 2 45 pound plates on each side and battled his way through a set and ALL I could think about was how that kid would wet his pants if he saw you training your legs there. He probably would have cried.

[Tweak]

I'm so envious of all the girls on here with strong legs. Barghgh.

Btw, I'm completely in love with your avatar. lol

LOL! That's how it would have went. He was clearly a "I only work out by chest and arms" kind of guy.

If I can lift more than you can it's not saying something too impressive.

I want a new suit.......and new shoes for next year......

I like these shoes:

5'' Stiletto Heel Platform Slide * LIP-102-2 - Sexy Shoes, High Heels, Prom Shoes, Platforms, and Thigh High Boots for Women & Men (http://www.snaz75.com/pl-lip-102-2.html)

I'd rather have the no-strap so I can remove them quickly.....
