So.....
when's the next show ?
Well Tracy is holding some modeling/bikini/fashion show type thing - so she'll let me know the details later. And I'm considering either the East Coast Bodybuilding & Figure in Paterson, NJ Nov 5th or the Gold's Classic BB Fitness & Figure show in Lakewood, NJ Oct 29th.

If you do one do the Gold's Classic. First Paterson is not a real nice area. Trust me you will be happier doing the Gold's Classic. The Gold's Classic is in Toms River this year, here is the application and NJ web site http://www.njnpc.org/2005/goldsclassic/Gold%27s_Classic_2005%5B1%5D.pdf
http://www.njnpc.org I've got two friends doing that show. You might as well do one and get your money out of that NPC card.

Your links don't work!!
But thanks for chiming in on the locations - don't know much about NJ. Lakewood is a shorter drive & I won't have to get a hotel room! Ummmmm -any info on why the one is better than the other?

Ah ok cool!! I think it'd be easier to come up Fri nite so I can get ready in the morning & be right there. Then just go home after the show. I'd drive up in the morning if the pre-judge wasn't so early.
Looks like this would be a smaller show & it looks like they only have 1 figure category but only 2 classes.

This is actually a big time show. Not a big one for figure. But it's only a couple of weeks away from nationals and it's usually one of the toughest shows of the year. There are usually a few ringers trying to requalify for nationals on the mens side. It's not as big for figure because the figure nationals are in Aug with the TU. But the competition is always very good all the way around.

I promise you, I'm not some weird stalker freak but I am seriously thinking of printing out your before and after pics and putting them on my fridge. I'm a similar age to you and I still think in the back of my head that this sort of transformation can't happen the older you get. You've proved otherwise and that's a big deal for me. Now, I know I'm a loooooonnnnnggg way behind you but still, maybe I have a chance if I'm dedicated and work hard enough.

Well I went to the gym today to do some cardio & the woman whom I competed against works there. Tried to catch her eye but she was walking around looking down the whole time. John (the desk guy) asked me to tell him about the show & while I was talking to him I asked if Maryanne was upset. He said she was VERY upset - came in yesterday looking like she had cried all day Sunday & turned around & left. 
I left her alone & let her have her space. I feel bad for her cuz I guess she had expected a lot more.

Jen, you should be in your glory
Think about how hard YOU worked, how far YOU came, the fact that YOU worked your ass off ALL YEAR LONG
I don't want to sound b!&**y.....BUT you shouldn't feel bad.
This is a sport (where everyone who 'plays' gets judged) It's not your fault that you placed better. If anything, she should be talking to you, asking help & ideas from you.
I undersatnd she is down at the moment, but it's not very fair of her to ingore you.
I hope she cheers up, so you don't feel uncomfortable at your gym.
Sorry, I don't have any advice how how to approach her - I just want you to know you shouldn't feel bad.

Well I feel bad in a more sympathetic/empathetic way as I know how it feels to not place well after all the hard work, etc.......And I know it's not my fault either.
But like you said - I hope she's just down in the dumps & won't take it out on me........
So true Skittles
Jens, this is why you should never go into a compete with a set "expectation" sure we all want to win, but we have to remember that so does everyone else who competes, and everyone has done "their best" to get on that stage, you don't know what the judges are looking for the day of the show, she may have had what they were looking for last time, and you have it this time.
If we expect to win everytime we step on stage, then we're selling ourselves short.
I'm sorry she's upset, but this isn't a sport for sore losers. If she wasn't happy with her performance then she needs to pick herself up and work harder. There's no need to walk around with a sour face, and quite honestly you shouldn't feel bad for 1 second you worked your ass off for this. I was going to say something else, but I'll stop here. My mouth is to damn big sometimes lol.

I imagine she's just down and feeling sorry for herself, and probably doesn't have the strength or mindset to look you in the eye yet. I can't imagine she'd take it out on you.
In fact, she may end up coming to you later on for advice! I'm sure she just had her expectations up too high and just needs time to feel bad.
Just don't let her rain on your accomplishment. You did fantastic and should be extremely proud of yourself!

I undersatnd why you feel bad (I probably would too)
BUT - just think of this - you had a judge (even though he was being unfair) tell you you had no back & a fat ass. I'm sure you were down, but then you looked for ways to fix this. You even e-mailed the board to get other opinions. Even in your 1st comp, I'm sure you were down, but you jumped at the opportunity to recieve criticism & make yourself better.
Maybe you could tell her something like this to make her feel better?

Oh Jens your such a softy,LOL. Your a kind hearted person, hopefully she will get over being down on herself and pick herself up and realize you are not gonna please everyone. It's all part of competing. If she holds this against you Jens then she just really needs to grow up,but hopefully she won't take it there.

I have GOT to start eating right tomorrow!! I've been eating crap since Saturday nite & I'm bloated & puffy. I hurt all over & feel sick - my skin is stretched so tight it hurts. I haven't been able to stop myself lately but I feel so sick that I've GOT to reign myself in......I feel COMPLETELY out of control & SO sick...
Got some chicken thawed out & ready to cook & bought some green beans today. Will ask hubby to run to Costco for more eggs & chicken.
The journal will resume tomorrow!!!

Jump ovet the bridge the Turnpike or 295 have exits for 195, should may say Shore Points but you want east. 195 will lead you to Rt9. If you take the Turnpike to the GSP that's at exit 127 then you have to go south to get to TR. 195 is closest to exit 98 but the parkway is out of the way for you and will make the trip longer.

I second Skittles response! It's o.k. to feel sorry for her, but at the same time you worked your butt off to achieve what you did! She just needs to look at it as a competitiona dn if she wants to win she'll have to work harder next time.... Great job by the way!!!

I'm already thinking of NOT doing the 10/29 show as I don't know if I can do the diet again. I feel like I've been dieting for SO DAMN LONG that I just don't want to diet again. To be honest - I'm enjoying the junk food and I just don't feel like cutting it out - although the Tastykakes are gone now, which is good. My head just isn't "in it" right now. Since I haven't reserved a room for the NJ show or even mailed off my entry fee - I still have some room to think about it/decide - but I feel out of control with my food, yet don't really want to reign it in. I'm between a rock & a hard place right now. I don't feel depressed so to speak, but I'm tired of the restriction & limitations yet I'm tired of how I feel eating like crap. *sigh*

It hasn't even been a week since your last show
Remember the changes you made when Tracy took over & the new diet came into play
This all happened in a few weeks.It's up to you (3 shows is a lot!) But, remember you still have a month & as long as your back on track by the weekend, you will be ok.

Thanks Skittles!!
I keep telling myself that (what you said) but I also don't want to use it as an EXCUSE to keep gorging. Again - the Tastykakes are gone - so I'm OK there & I hope the hubby will eat the remaining 3 cookies tonite.
I simply CAN'T throw food away - too many years of Catholic school & a Catholic mom who ingrained in me that it's a SIN to do so........
I've got some Pluses tho: I've been back in the gym since Tuesday and I've been back on supps since Wednesday and I've been drinking my Gallon + in water per day. I just need to get the food in line.

I don't know if it's too soon to tell if she's taking it out on you (it seems like she is)
You tried, now leave it to her to come to you
I would suggest upping some digestive enzymes, drinking tons of water (1.5-2 gallons), and taking 2 Sesamax 3 times a day (max dose).jenscats5 said:Thanks Skittles!!

P.S. Are you still taking the D-Root? If you ran this, then dropped this completely at once, without, weening off it, I can see that causing 'some' of the bloat/swollen feeling (speaking from personal experience here).*Bunny* said:I would suggest upping some digestive enzymes, drinking tons of water (1.5-2 gallons), and taking 2 Sesamax 3 times a day (max dose).
Can you switch to T-Rex if you are not already taking? I went back to T-Rex, helping with Appetite supression BIG TIME for me.
Congrats Jens
You look amazing!
And as far as the wanting those devil foods.. i can understand. Sometimes you just need a break. That doesn't mean going all out and having junk all the time, but we all know on comp diets there is no cheat meals. You've been kicking ass for a long time now and your body is talking to you.
Don't go off the deep end but I suggest you listen to your body. I had to just completely come to terms with the fact that the other two comps I wanted to do were unrealistic. Both emotionally and physically.. it just wasn't healthy for me when my body told me to stop.
That being said there are more comps later... Don't jeopardize your health or well being, not to mention your sanity for a trophy
You did it once, you learned alot about your body and yourself, how far to push and how hard to push. You can do it again, a month from now, a year from now... You chose.

I took 2 Sesamax today at noon-ish........and upped my Trex today to 2x a day - 1 pill 2x a day, hoping that the appetite suppression will kick in. I'll take 2 more Sesamax with my next meal in about an hour or so.....
I was taking Taraxatone the week before the show, ran out then took D-root - which I stopped cold on Sunday.
The bloat is WAY down - still a little bit there, but a lot less than what it was. The uncomfortable feeling is gone.And yes - I won't bother with Maryanne from now on - if she wants to be like that, then let her.
Going to shoot for 100% clean tomorrow!! That's my goal!!
