Good news of the day, my parents received an offer on their second business, they are going nuts over what they are offered. They basically thought it would be half of what it is, needless to say, I think they'll say yes :D

They will probably officially retire and travel as of July and they are only 50 and 55! :eek:

That's a great life!

Oh and my 21 yo brother just made an offer on a house!
I hope they accept it!
He's off to a good life if he's a owner already at this young age!
Now he needs a girlfriend (hint Adrienne!! ;))

[Seosaid]

Have a great night, Josie!

Thanks Hoos! Hope you have a great day!

Hi Josie!

Hiya future Mrs Hammies!


Great job on the workout, Josie!! I curse also, but not in French.

Thanks Hib, I'm trying VERY hard to stop cursing! In fact I think I'm going to give my hubby a quarter every time I do, It might help!

Have a great day Mrs Bikini!

[ChocoChick]

Wow - sounds like everyone in your family -- including you -- has something to celebrate. This is great! So nice to hear about happiness and good fortune. :)

[BigBT]

Great news all around Josie! I'm sorry you hate your leg day so much. I must say I'm kind of partial to the results, though ;)

[jmc53]

They will probably officially retire and travel as of July and they are only 50 and 55! :eek:

Well, they are in their absolute prime!!
That's great news.

[Seosaid]

Wow - sounds like everyone in your family -- including you -- has something to celebrate. This is great! So nice to hear about happiness and good fortune.

I'm really happy for them, especially for Samuel, my younger brother, let's just say that only a few years ago, he almost went down the wrong path....
I'm quite happy he changed his mind ;)


Great news all around Josie! I'm sorry you hate your leg day so much. I must say I'm kind of partial to the results, though

OHHHH no no no I love leg day... legs are "really" done on day one, day two is just so complicate with all the weights and inclinations changes that I feel I'm loosing time, I'll have to talk to my coach about this.


Well, they are in their absolute prime!!
That's great news.

Exactly what I said! My father is scared of being bored, :rolleyes: he's a true workaholic, we will need to force him to rest ... or bring us around the world... :p

[HoosierHardGain]

Today I only did 20 on the elliptical, I was soooo tired after shooting Bridge, but the results were all worth it, she looked stunning especially since she's wearing my outfits :D

here's a preview:

[Daimozz]

ok whos the stunning red head? *dr00l*

oh ya killer workout and awesome update pic:P

[dbx]

Nice workout last night, Josie. Oh, and you look MUCH better than Brigitte ;)

[jocularric]

Brigitte looks awesome. She should do great! You'll have to have her post some pics from Nationals. It would be nice to she how she does. Maybe she could start a journal here.

[kimsquit]

Brigitte now has another fan here in British Columbia :)

[Mr. Someday]

Did someone say redheads? :D My-oh-my.

[HoosierHardGain]

Good morning, Miss Josie!

[mom24boys]

Happy Monday Josie :)

[ChocoChick]

Morning, Josie!

[BigBT]

Bridgette looks great. A lot of hard work there. I'm sure if she had a journal she'd be saying the same things about your improvement, however....
I'm sure your outfits would make anyone look good though. I may need to borrow them, myself! ;)

Love the update pic, but it's pretty easy to tell it's not really you. I don't think you'd be caught dead in that outfit... :D

[Seosaid]

ok whos the stunning red head? *dr00l*



It's my friend Brigitte, we started competing together... but I decided to have a baby, and she kept competing :D


Nice workout last night, Josie. Oh, and you look MUCH better than Brigitte

So tell me Kevin, what do you prefer my beard or the Adam's apple ;)


Brigitte looks awesome. She should do great! You'll have to have her post some pics from Nationals. It would be nice to she how she does. Maybe she could start a journal here.

Nah she already has a journal somewhere else, I decided to shoot her because this is the person who has the least confidence in herself, she has a great body and I wanted her to realize it + she's made awesome progress in the last year.


Brigitte now has another fan here in British Columbia

LOL I'll let her know :D


Did someone say redheads? My-oh-my.

LOL should have known this word would lure you in here :p


Good morning, Miss Josie!

'morning mister!


Happy Monday Josie

Happy Monday Lisa!


Morning, Josie!

Happy Monday eLISE!


Bridgette looks great. A lot of hard work there. I'm sure if she had a journal she'd be saying the same things about your improvement, however....
I'm sure your outfits would make anyone look good though. I may need to borrow them, myself!


Me and Brige know each other very well, we were pretty much on the same level competition wise except that she's in the tall class, I'm in the short, she has a great midsection... and I'm better in the lower body.

I think we would be competing against one another if it wasn't for Rockwell...not that I regret anything, au contraire ;)
It's the best thing I've ever done. But I like seeing improvement in people I know well and as I said shooting her will be good for her self-esteem



Love the update pic, but it's pretty easy to tell it's not really you. I don't think you'd be caught dead in that outfit...

LOL :D

Good news of the day my brother Sam's offer has been accepted, he's moving in his new house on Sept 1rst

I forgot to say that my body doesn't seem too happy... both knees hurt, my sciatic is acting up and yesterday the nerve on the right side of my neck started to hurt... but this morning it was on the other side? :confused:

I think I might need a bit more potassium to help with the cramping, anyway I'm seeing my coach in two days, I will discuss this with her.

[Daimozz]

hey josie hows the beautiful blond today? nice workout.......tho it sounds like u need to let up a bit...... hugs

[mom24boys]

nice title change Josie :)

[Hibiscus09]

I forgot to say that my body doesn't seem too happy... both knees hurt, my sciatic is acting up and yesterday the nerve on the right side of my neck started to hurt... but this morning it was on the other side?

Yikes -- you're too young for all of that.

Nice job on the workout! Maybe you need a break for a few days or so. I assume you take some type of glucosamine/MSM/chondroitin supplement?

Yay for your brother, Sam! :cool:

[BergMuscle]

Good session, Josie. Sorry to hear about the aches and pains.
Great for your brother - new homes are exciting.

[powerman2000]

I forgot to say that my body doesn't seem too happy... both knees hurt, my sciatic is acting up and yesterday the nerve on the right side of my neck started to hurt... but this morning it was on the other side? :confused:


I can really empathize with you there.

I hope it doesn't last long for you.

[ChocoChick]

LOL at your title, Josie. Hope the aches and pains resolve themselves quickly. I use Jarrow's Hyaluronic Acid forumla and it is really good. I initially thought it wasn't doing anything and I stopped and developed problems with my knee. I resumed, and -- voila -- my knee is better. I am not planning on stopping again.

[HoosierHardGain]

Hello Josie...hope all is well with you, other than the aches ya got. So, what is the time until your competition?

[Seosaid]

hey josie hows the beautiful blond today? nice workout.......tho it sounds like u need to let up a bit...... hugs

What's going on with your profile dear??


nice title change Josie

Thanks! i think it's time to focus on the Comp now


Yikes -- you're too young for all of that.

Nice job on the workout! Maybe you need a break for a few days or so. I assume you take some type of glucosamine/MSM/chondroitin supplement?

Yay for your brother, Sam! :cool:

I think I'm too young also! but too stressed might be the reason I'm like this though, I stopped the glucosamine, but I think I'll go back on it!


Good session, Josie. Sorry to hear about the aches and pains.
Great for your brother - new homes are exciting.

Hi BergMuscle, thanks for stopping by!


I can really empathize with you there.

I hope it doesn't last long for you.

Hope so too, I'll pay a visit to my chiropractor in order to fix it sooner than later


LOL at your title, Josie. Hope the aches and pains resolve themselves quickly. I use Jarrow's Hyaluronic Acid forumla and it is really good. I initially thought it wasn't doing anything and I stopped and developed problems with my knee. I resumed, and -- voila -- my knee is better. I am not planning on stopping again.

First time I hear about Jarrow's Hyaluronic Acid I might give it a try, thanks for the tip.


Hello Josie...hope all is well with you, other than the aches ya got. So, what is the time until your competition?

[HoosierHardGain]

Great workout, Josie...now that your workout is complete and since you are so tired, go take your well earned nap!

[jmc53]

Here you are!
Sorry to hear about the aches and pans Josie.

[Seosaid]

Great workout, Josie...now that your workout is complete and since you are so tired, go take your well earned nap!

Hoos I can't begin to tell you how much I needed a nap today, however I didn't have a minute to myself.


Here you are!
Sorry to hear about the aches and pans Josie.

Thanks Jason, basically I need rest and more fish oils :D

++++++++++++++++++++++

I just got back from spray tanning.. the color is great.

I'm doing th TV interview tomorrow so I'm trying to look a bit more healthy :D

I just got my new MAC I need to set everything up.... since I'm a PC woman I'm all mixed up! :p

]Today's good news...I fit in most of my prepregnancy clothes! well the tops at least!

The bad news... my new neighbors .. the one who moved in about a month or 2 ago are already getting on my nerves!
Their dog barks ALL the frigging time! I'm about to lose it!

On top of it, they are so messy!! This is a nice neighborhood, this is why we move here, well they make it look like a trailer park with all their stuff all over the darn place! the Lady frigging yells all the time, imagine... yelling yelling... barking barking!!!

I'm NOT happy!

[powerman2000]

It's weird. For me and my use of Hyaluronic Acid, it worked great almost immediately and now after weeks of usage it does nothing for me. :(

I even came off for a week and then started again and still no results.

[livinonlava]

Aloha Josie! Thought it was about time I sneak into your journal now that I'm back ;) Sorry to hear about the nagging aches and pains -- you know I can relate. I'm sure you've said it somewhere earlier, but what is the competition you're preparing for in 3 months and 4 days (not that anyone is counting...)?

[BigBT]

Congrats on the prebaby clothes! I know that that is a huge accomplishment for you.
Make sure you post a link to your interview. Even if I don't understand a word of it, it will be fun to see.
And sorry about the neighbors. I went through that for a while in my last house. I'm sure you are bigger than they are so go over and politely kick down the door and kick their ass! Then leave them a pie or something as a welcome to the neighborhood. :D

[HoosierHardGain]

Not sure how things are done up there, but do you have a neighborhood association? Most suburban neighborhoods in my area have covenances that prohibit such thing. If so, notify your association and they should send the neighbors a letter to kindly put their dog in at night.

[ChocoChick]

Josie - congrats on fitting in your pre-pregnancy clothes! Ugh about the neighbors. But I am sooo excited to see your interview! Please post a link.

Oh I can relate to your neighbor problem Josie. The Beverly Hillbillies moved in across the street from us (from West Virginia) and man have they made a mess of the neighborhood with all their crap. The kept getting written up for junk vehicles and stuff so they put up a tall 6' privacy fence so that they could just add more junk and hide it. Then they pulled up a few months ago in thier pick'em'up truck pulling a trailer with this 'lean-to' type of building, took down part of the fence just to back it up in there...just dropped it off and there it sets now. (storage for more junk). I should get a pic sometime and post it....LMAO Especially the people...oh my...Can't tell if this one overly obese person is a guy or a woman....LOL. Good luck

[Seosaid]

I even came off for a week and then started again and still no results.

So many things do that to me too, it's like my body gets used too fast, anyway, I'll try and I'll see.

Hiya mister! well now my thread is complete, you were the only good looking man missing, I have them all in my journal now ;)
I'm competing in Las Vegas in a figure competition hosted by BB.com and the WFF.


Congrats on the prebaby clothes! I know that that is a huge accomplishment for you.

LOL I love you way of thinking!

about the clothes I only fit in a bunch of tops... no bottoms yet.

I did the interview live yesterday and HATED the way I looked on TV, I know you're supposed to look 10 lbs heavier but I felt I was 50 lbs :(

It went well though! My inbox almost exploded from "fan mail" today :D

It's not online yet but you'll see it here

No I don't think we have that, but I'll go up there myself if need be!!
Thanks Hoos!


Josie - congrats on fitting in your pre-pregnancy clothes! Ugh about the neighbors. But I am sooo excited to see your interview! Please post a link.

It's up there, but not online yet, you'll basically only see my name :D


..Can't tell if this one overly obese person is a guy or a woman....LOL. Good luck


LOL I think you live in my neighborhood then :D

*********************

So I had my evaluation yesterday!

I'm down to 19.4 % BF (2.3% in 4 weeks)... which is good BUT it's on 155 lbs, I'd rather have it on 130 lbs so I still look too fat but my coach doesn't want me to loose too fast and be flat on stage! and she is absolutely right of course!

The amazing part is that I have put on 10 lbs of muscle since January! My back is my best improvement so far, and based on last month's pic, I'm extra wide now, which will help my waist appear smaller (me likey)

She has tweaked my diet... and I look like a drugstore with all the supps I have to take now! I'll even need an agenda (NOT kidding).

I'll have the new training next Wednesday, in the meantime I think I'll take it easy this week at the gym as I feel weak and tired and I would like to start the new routine on a high note.

So that's it!

I'm off to your journals now :D

I'll have the new training next Wednesday, in the meantime I think I'll take it easy this week at the gym as I feel weak and tired and I would like to start the new routine on a high note.

So that's it!

I'm off to your journals now :D

Josie, it sounds like you are rockin and rollin! Do you find it hard taking that many supps? For me, it gets so tedious taking just a few supps, I cannot imagine taking a whole bunch.

[ChocoChick]

When will the video be there, Josie?

I am sure you look great. We are all so harsh on ourselves.

I have a hard time taking supps. I tend to forget for days on end. I would need an agenda, too, if I was to get serious about it! LOL.

[Hibiscus09]

Congrats on the bodyfat, Josie! I agree that slow and steady wins the race. :)

Let us know when the video is online!

[Mr. Someday]

The amazing part is that I have put on 10 lbs of muscle since January! My back is my best improvement so far, and based on last month's pic, I'm extra wide now, which will help my waist appear smaller (me likey)



It's called muscle memory Josie..... you've already put in the hard work and earned that muscle, so the fact it receeded a bit during a layoff doesn't mean it's gone for good as you can see. Glad to hear everything is going well.....I'm still kicking myself for forgetting to take thong pics around my show date....now a thong would look like dental floss between two seat cushions! :D

[drakus]

josie i think u look like ur 14% body fat to be honest......you look real good...... if u look this good now wait till after omfg hawt momma!@

[joed]

You're doing terrific!

[livinonlava]

Hiya mister! well now my thread is complete, you were the only good looking man missing, I have them all in my journal now ;)

If I had known you were collecting them, I'd have brought friends... :D

Congrats on the 19%! It's much better to be able to come down slowly than with the dramatic drop -- for your sanity as well as your musculature :)

[jmc53]

Hi Josie,
Congratulations on the bodyfat figures.
One good thing about living in the bush where I do - no neighbors!!!

[jocularric]

Congrats on your progress Josie. Happy Friday!

[StlBarbie]

GREAT PROGRESS JOSIE!!! :)
So glad you have booked your room ... I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!! :D

[Seosaid]

Josie, it sounds like you are rockin and rollin! Do you find it hard taking that many supps? For me, it gets so tedious taking just a few supps, I cannot imagine taking a whole bunch.

thanks Hoos!

And yes I find it really hard! Especially since I have to respect a certain schedule for taking them, it's all very regimented :D


When will the video be there, Josie?

I am sure you look great. We are all so harsh on ourselves.

I have a hard time taking supps. I tend to forget for days on end. I would need an agenda, too, if I was to get serious about it! LOL.

LOL!
I don't know exactly when it will be posted but I'll let you know for sure.
And no... I'm not too hard, even a friend of mine called me to tell me that I looked bloated as hell, she was with me a few hours earlier so she knew the difference.


Congrats on the bodyfat, Josie! I agree that slow and steady wins the race.

Let us know when the video is online!

I sure will! I do agree about taking the time but boy am I eager to look thin again!!! :p


It's called muscle memory Josie..... you've already put in the hard work and earned that muscle, so the fact it receeded a bit during a layoff doesn't mean it's gone for good as you can see. Glad to hear everything is going well....

I know and I'm super happy about that part at least!


.I'm still kicking myself for forgetting to take thong pics around my show date....now a thong would look like dental floss between two seat cushions!

I'll settle for Dental Floss :D


josie i think u look like ur 14% body fat to be honest......you look real good...... if u look this good now wait till after omfg hawt momma!@

[HoosierHardGain]

Looking awesome, Josie...Mr. Josie has got to be one happy guy!

Little Rock is a cutie! Chasing after him is probably your best cardio :)

I agree 100% Elise:D

It's September 30th, although I'm starting to have a bad feeling about it, let's just say they don't answer questions very quickly, in the worse case scenario, there's also a comp here that is taking place in November, I think I could kick some serious asses then :D


Hey Josie...ya having a great afternoon?

[HoosierHardGain]

Not too bad Hoos' I need a sauna and a massage though :D

[joed]

[Seosaid]

Great workout, Josie...

I guess you and Mr. Josie could get in a sauna and he give you a massage...sounds like a win-win for both of you

I think it's a great idea but I have no access to a sauna yet!

I'm sooooo tired of waiting for the sauna to open at the new gym that me and Nico (Mr Josie) and about to buy one for Da Basement!


Well, I learned two things... First, I didn't even know you were Canadian Second, Canada Day is July 1rst. Comin' to bb.com and gettin' all ejumacated

How did your friend Brigitte do at the Nationals?

Hey Chris, she placed 13 out of 15, she was a bit disappointed but she realistic... not the kind of person to blame the judges if you know what I mean

:rolleyes:

You can view all the girls here: (http://www.orangeexposure.com/servlet/CacheEventServlet?action=EVENTLOGIN&eventid=2585&password=ohcanada)




You like to do those exercises with strange names, eh? What are "fat" curls?

LOL it's my trainer, she's really creative, it's done with a fat BB actually, hence the name, it really hits my forearms!




Oh, and awesome pics. Excuse me while I go find my tongue, as it just kinda...fell out

That's a great compliment, thank you ;)


Hi beautiful. Your progress pics are great..

Thanks Marky


Have a great weekend Josie

You too mom!


You look terrific josie.

Merci Joed :D

[Seosaid]

Okey dokey, today I felt like a million bucks! and I received so many compliments that I now feel even better.

Hugo Girard, One of the World's strongest men was with us, and we all know how much I like him (http://www.josiestamour.com/gallery/RT/images/Hugo%20Girard2.jpg) :D

Eric Chevrier (http://www.chez.com/ericchevrier/), one of the world's most recognized coach for power lifters and Olympic athletes came to see me, to tell me I have amazing legs! He was even telling other people to look at me. :D
It made my day!

So anyway today was Day 2 - Legs (and IT HURTS)

A1 - Front Squats
4 x 8 @ 50 lbs

A2 - Good morning
4 x 8 @ 50 lbs

The following giant set was H-A-R-D!!!!
B1 - Hack Squat (footbal one)
4 x 8 @ 200 lbs

B2 -Alternated BB Lunges on Incline
2 x 20 @ 50 lbs
2 x 20 @ 40 lbs

B3 -Hip & Hams Raise
4 x 8 @ BW (OUCHHHHHHHHHH!)

B4 - Seated Leg Curl
4 x 8 @ 70 lbs

I could feel my legs burning while walking afterwards... I feel the DOMS monster coming my way! :D

I did 20 on the elliptical afterwards.

[dbx]

No wonder he's smiling in that pic ;)

Ahem.... nice leg workout. Perhaps some sweets might keep away the DOMS? ;)

[HoosierHardGain]

Nice looking workout, Josie!

Be nice to the DOM monster, or else he will never go away :)

[BigBT]

Great leg workout, Josie! No wonder you were being used as a how-to. You deserve every compliment you get in the gym. Now, when can I sit on YOUR shoulder and get my picture taken??? ;)

By the way, the Power Eating book you recommended just got here. It looks great, thanks for tip!

[livinonlava]

Hugo Girard, One of the World's strongest men was with us, and we all know how much I like him (http://www.josiestamour.com/gallery/RT/images/Hugo%20Girard2.jpg) :D

LOL have you seen my smile :D



Ahem.... nice leg workout. Perhaps some sweets might keep away the DOMS?

In all honesty, I'm not so much of a sweet tooth... but I got some wine to ease the pain :D



Be nice to the DOM monster, or else he will never go away

Oh no!!!!!!! that must be why he' always after me ;)


Great leg workout, Josie! No wonder you were being used as a how-to. You deserve every compliment you get in the gym. Now, when can I sit on YOUR shoulder and get my picture taken???

LOL You might be a tad too heavy for me ;)




By the way, the Power Eating book you recommended just got here. It looks great, thanks for tip!

YEAH! It makes me happy! I'm pro Human Kinetics books! They're simply great!

Let me know how you like it!


Oh, oh! Me next!!! And, ummm, please wear this outfit when we take the picture...



you ARE a bad boy! :eek:


************************************


So today I assisted to the FCPAQ Provincial competition.

It was simply amazing! The caliber was great, especially when it came to men.

At one point in the super duper heavy division LOL, 10 guys walked on stage... when the 9th showed up (just walking, not even posing) the whole audience started to cheer! He was such a beast ... taller by a foot then the others AND perfectly built!

Right then and there, we all knew who the winner was!.

I've learned extremely funny gossips about my stalker but I wont be such a bad mouth and spread it! :D

Let's just say I had an amazing day but no training today!

So everyone, I wish you a Happy 7-7-7
We'll talk tomorrow !

[powerman2000]

[TKD]

Hope all is going well for you. Have you changed routine again? Hardcore 1 arm pullups :D

[BigBT]

Loved looking at my shoulders while doing those, I've gain massive shoulder size, must be the she-male effect :D

I'm sure all of us would love to see the Josie workout video!


Will up the weight next time... might need a spotter though

Raises Hand OOO pick me, pick me! :D

The one arm iso's look killer, Josie. Hope they are doing the trick for you.

[livinonlava]

must be the she-male effect :D

:eek: :D

Very nice looking workout josie! I've done a chest/back split in the past, but I've never done back first -- that must be exhausting. Good stuff!

[dbx]

So now it's one arm pull-ups? Geez...... :)

[MarkY]

Hi Josie. Great job on the workout. Shoulders look great, no shemale effect that I can see. :D

[jocularric]

LOL that's a great picture of Rockwell. And like other guy, I think your photos are smokin'! You're making great progress.

So what's the story behind all the unilateral movements?

[jmc53]

Hiya Josie :)

[drakus]

good strong workout jose.......and great progress....... i was checking ur pics out keep up the hard hard work!

[HoosierHardGain]

Nice heavy workout, Josie the Pussycat.

[Seosaid]

How's it going mate?

Hope all is going well for you. Have you changed routine again? Hardcore 1 arm pullups

You'Re back!!!!!! How was the trip?
One arm pullups are great, and easier than I first thought.


I'm sure all of us would love to see the Josie workout video!

I have about 15 lbs of fat to shed before filming anything for you!


Raises Hand OOO pick me, pick me! :D

The one arm iso's look killer, Josie. Hope they are doing the trick for you.

You're actually the first spotter I had in mind :D




Very nice looking workout josie! I've done a chest/back split in the past, but I've never done back first -- that must be exhausting. Good stuff!

In all honesty, it's not as hard as I imagined... or maybe I need to lift more ....


So now it's one arm pull-ups? Geez......

LOL well the one arm pull-ups are easier than expected (I nearly fell of my chair when my trainer showed me my training) since I put the opposite hand on my forearm I can use it to lift me as well.
I'll drop some weight next time in order to feel them even more.


Hi Josie. Great job on the workout. Shoulders look great, no shemale effect that I can see.

My shoulders gained an inch in the last month, let just say I'm surprised by how wide I am now :D


LOL that's a great picture of Rockwell. And like other guy, I think your photos are smokin'! You're making great progress.

So what's the story behind all the unilateral movements?

Hiya Joc, even if they are really time consuming, I love unilateral movements, they really help improve symmetry. When you use both arms at the same time, regardless of how much attention you pay to form and how strict you are, the strong side of your body is going to do more work. Unilateral movements will help close the gap between the strong and weak sides, and make you more symmetrical in strength as well as appearance.


Hiya Josie

Hey dear ;)


good strong workout jose.......and great progress....... i was checking ur pics out keep up the hard hard work!

Thanks Drakus!


Nice heavy workout, Josie the Pussycat.

Thanks Hoos, it's actually easier than the previous workout.

[Seosaid]

So I skipped Gym this morning, I'll see if I go later on today or not.
My legs are still sore and I'm not really in a hurry to suffer again :D

I haven't really been following my diet lately and I need to get back on track. I also received a bad comment this Saturday and my self-esteem kinda suffered although I don't think it was meant as an in insult... it was more a comment that came from within (a guy looked at me and said "You train?" (with a really puzzled look) Now since he's a 130 lbs gay guy who clearly doesn't train, I won't let it get to me!!!

But I took time to think about my future as a fitness/figure competitor. I wasn't sure if after the Vegas show I would still have it in me compete. Especially since I'm going back to work in November and I'll only be able to work in the AM, where the last month before a show I need to train twice a day.

Anyhoo, while I was watching the comp, I realized I still very much want to compete, I guess that I was seeing myself as very out of shape between comps (which obviously would be a problem) but since I'm not the type of girl who only wants to be in shape during competition, this is a year round thing for me, I don't see how it would be a problem.

I think I based the level of difficulties on two girls I know who really let themselves go in between comps.

So anyway I decided that I'll do Figure at the Vegas comp. and will do both Figure and Fitness at the ProGym cup this November, those 2 comps will serve as practice rounds for the Montreal & Provincial competitions I intend to win next summer.

It will leave me enough time to fine tune my physique for each show and gain extraordinary stage confidence.

So that was my enlightenment of the week :D

Oh and good news of the day:
This photographer (http://www.scottapplebyphotography.com/open.php)said he likes my look and would possibly want to work with me!!
I've always loved his work and he has also worked with my friend Michele.

and

My parents are officially retired :D They are dealing with legal issues but within 2 weeks they'll be FREE!

[dbx]

So I skipped Gym this morning, I'll see if I go later on today or not.

Bad, bad girl!



.. it was more a comment that came from within (a guy looked at me and said "You train?" (with a really puzzled look) Now since he's a 130 lbs gay guy who clearly doesn't train, I won't let it get to me!!!

LOFL!

I'm glad for your folks, and the photographer sounds interesting, too! Sounds like things are looking good for Ms. Josie ;)

(with a really puzzled look) Now since he's a 130 lbs gay guy who clearly doesn't train, I won't let it get to me!!!

I had the same experience a few weeks ago. I went into GNC to buy some multivitamins and the sales girl looked at me and asked if I was an athlete...Now did she mean "you are so wussy looking, I'd be shocked if you could pick up a shoe let alone weights" or did she mean "damn you look good, you must do this professionally" My brain says she meant the first, but my ego sure likes the second option.


But I took time to think about my future as a fitness/figure competitor. I wasn't sure if after the Vegas show I would still have it in me compete.

Put it this way, if you even thought about quitting, I'd move to Montreal and do some motivational yelling at you until you went to the gym just to get me to shut up!


I intend to win next summer.

You are damn right you will. I can't go around telling all my friends I know the "runner up." ;)
Actually your story is so inspirational and your drive and passion for the sport leave me no doubt that you have it in you to win as many of these as you wish.

Congrats about the photographer. I want the first poster that gets published for my sports memorabilia room! Think the wife would mind? :)

[mom24boys]

great news abounds in here..woo hoo to everything :D

[dartol]

I intend to win next summer.



YEAH! There ya go! I have complete faith in ya Josie. :)

And congrats on all of your good news too!

So I skipped Gym this morning, I'll see if I go later on today or not.
My legs are still sore and I'm not really in a hurry to suffer again :D

I haven't really been following my diet lately and I need to get back on track. I also received a bad comment this Saturday and my self-esteem kinda suffered although I don't think it was meant as an in insult... it was more a comment that came from within (a guy looked at me and said "You train?" (with a really puzzled look) Now since he's a 130 lbs gay guy who clearly doesn't train, I won't let it get to me!!!

But I took time to think about my future as a fitness/figure competitor. I wasn't sure if after the Vegas show I would still have it in me compete. Especially since I'm going back to work in November and I'll only be able to work in the AM, where the last month before a show I need to train twice a day.

Anyhoo, while I was watching the comp, I realized I still very much want to compete, I guess that I was seeing myself as very out of shape between comps (which obviously would be a problem) but since I'm not the type of girl who only wants to be in shape during competition, this is a year round thing for me, I don't see how it would be a problem.

I think I based the level of difficulties on two girls I know who really let themselves go in between comps.

So anyway I decided that I'll do Figure at the Vegas comp. and will do both Figure and Fitness at the ProGym cup this November, those 2 comps will serve as practice rounds for the Montreal & Provincial competitions I intend to win next summer.

It will leave me enough time to fine tune my physique for each show and gain extraordinary stage confidence.

So that was my enlightenment of the week :D

Oh and good news of the day:
This photographer (http://www.scottapplebyphotography.com/open.php)said he likes my look and would possibly want to work with me!!
I've always loved his work and he has also worked with my friend Michele.

and

My parents are officially retired :D They are dealing with legal issues but within 2 weeks they'll be FREE!

Sounds like some really good thinking happening here, Josie. :)

[jmc53]

Hi Josie, nice to read your thought process regarding your competing future. I have no doubt you'll achieve your goals.

[HoosierHardGain]

Damn straight you're gonna win next year! Oh, and for the gay guy, sounds like someone who 1)didn't have a filter from his brain to his mouth, and 2) had NO clue what he was talking about.

[kimsquit]

bonjour Josie :)

I'm glad to hear that you've decided on your competitive schedule. I think we should try to encourage all the bb.com regulars to come root for you in Las Vegas!

Anyway, she was out at the beach with her kids and two flabby, vicious witches said out loud: "look! it's boobless Barbie!.

[Seosaid]

... and the photographer sounds interesting, too! Sounds like things are looking good for Ms. Josie

I've had a change of attitude lately, I kept saying "I'm tired, it's hard, bla bla bla"

I realized that the more I say this kind of thing, the more it will be true.

I've received quite a bit of photographers offers but they all arrived as soon as I gave birth... bad timing
I do hope the Vegas show will open a few doors for me!


Now did she mean "you are so wussy looking

Not a single chance!




or did she mean "damn you look good, you must do this professionally"



I vote for this :D




Put it this way, if you even thought about quitting, I'd move to Montreal and do some motivational yelling at you until you went to the gym just to get me to shut up!


WOOHOOO I QUIT I QUIT :p

Hi Josie

Hi Jason!

[mom24boys]

Hi Josie..how was your week-end? I went shopping today :D and I bought things:D

[Seosaid]

Today is an off day. Nico's trying to have the US citizenship for me and Rockwell, keep your fingers crossed for us (might be easier for Rocco than me though!)

I still have pain pretty much everywhere, a friend of mine suggested I get tested for Fibromyalgia, I didn't know what it was, so I searched the symptoms on Web MD... and well I have everything! But I'm also a hypochondriac :D
I do hope it's just fatigue causing it all but I'm a bit scared, I made an appointment for August. Let's hope all the pain goes away before then.

It's my mother's birthday tomorrow so my brothers came over so we could take a picture for her.... we're not sure which one we want to give her :D
What do you think?

I finally made an appointment to get a haircut on Wednesday! I need a change... I hope I wont be disappointed.

That's it for now... hope you have a great night!

[mom24boys]

LOL Definatly give her BOTH. Framed LOL but you didnt show Rockwells butt :p
good luck on the citizenship....are you going for duel? what will you have to do? Hope the aches are just from being tired.

[BigBT]

Today is an off day. Nico's trying to have the US citizenship for me and Rockwell, keep your fingers crossed for us (might be easier for Rocco than me though!)

Good luck. I'll be proud to claim you both as countrymen! If they say that we are over a limit, I have a couple of folks in mind that I'd glady trade to Canada for you two.


I do hope it's just fatigue causing it all but I'm a bit scared, I made an appointment for August. Let's hope all the pain goes away before then.

I'd be willing to bet it is your rigorous routines that are making you sore.


What do you think?

I should have taken Rockwell's suit off I thought about it afterwards.

I'm going for dual citizenship, just like Nico, we never know where life will take us, so it's good to have options.


, I have a couple of folks in mind that I'd glady trade to Canada for you two..

LOL :D

Desolee sieur Jocularric, I prefer long and blond, we on me anyway! :D
I'll show you later on, it's a not a huge change, but this time the hairdresser listened to me, the last time I ended up with a shoulder length style I was very upset!



Front Squats! Ah, wondrous well indeed! I being a advocate of such it doth bring me joy to see such wielding. Prithee, tell on, what be thy ponderings of them?

I actually prefer back squats, the front ones, because of the bar, hurt my shoulder and I can't put as much weight, BUT they do work wonders :D


Hope you have a great weekend, Josie!

Same to you Hoos'!

I guess I never realized how much single arm work you do vs. two arm. I'd love to see you do those 1 arm pull ups. Just maintaining balance doing those would be difficult enough. Brutal looking workout as always.

[joed]

Tough wo josie, have a good wkend.

[Seosaid]

Hi Josie,
workouts look awesome as always.
That sciatica can be a bloddy nuisance - hope it eases up for you.

Thanks dear! I do hope the sciatica goes away.. the good news is that I have massages every night because of it :D


heck YA!! Doing awesome Josie!!!

Happy weekend!

LOL Thanks Adrienne!


Am I reading this right? You can press 70lbs with one arm for 12 reps?

*falls down*

NO, you're not reading right... it's 70lbs with one arm for 6 reps... 6 reps each arms! I'm not THAT strong! :D


Good stuff Josie!

Pisser about the sciatica playing up again! Be careful of that shoulder now!!

Have a nice weekend mate!

Thanks Darren, the shoulder was a bit better today!! Luckily, one body part going better :rolleyes:!

AHHH Thanks Darren! My mom LOVED the second pic... but cried for the first, and also LOVED the iPod we got her, I previously loaded it with music because she's a bit technologically challenged :D

This training is really all about unilateral movements, I can see the difference!!!!!!

The One arm pull-ups aren't that bad, I'll try to film them eventually, since I do them assisted (I could never do them unassisted!) It all works well.


Tough wo josie, have a good wkend.

Thanks Joe, you too!

Hi Josie, glad to hear that the shoulder is feeling better. How's the sciatic?

HEy CC... it's Bad BUT I have a new butt pain that makes me forget about it!

Ok I'll make a fool of myself once again... here's a little story:

My hubby and his friend gotta got drunk one night a long time ago...and once Nico went to bed, the other guys started using a black marker to change everything in the house (and some outside)...

The Yokohama tires became Yocomama
The Mars candy bar became an Arse bar
The Rub A535 became Rub Ass

The later stuck and we still call it Rub Ass (silly I know) but we say it so much, that it's only Rub Ass for us, once in the drugstore, my hubby said very loudly, "Do we need any Rub Ass?" I started laughing but my hubby (so used to saying it) did not realize what was wrong.

Anyhoo, last night he was rubbing my lower back and accidentally rub me right over the crack :eek: I told him to be careful because this stuff is abrasive!!!
and did not realize that some got stuck :rolleyes: .... well I now have a very bad burn between the two cheeks :D Not deep down (THANK GOD) but just enough to be extremely uncomfortable when I sit!

So now the Rub Ass really deserve it's name :D and I look stupid once again!

[ChocoChick]

Sounds painful even though I have no clue what rub a535 is. :confused:

Just like I have no idea what a football hack is.

[jocularric]

Good story Josie. :D LOL I'll never be able to read the label of Rub A535 correctly again. You don't look stupid--at all. But, I think if you collected all these stories and put them together it would make a great stand-up routine for a comedy show. Have you ever wanted to be a comedian?

[mom24boys]

lol Mornin' Josie

[Seosaid]

Sounds painful even though I have no clue what rub a535 is. :confused:

LOL it's Antiphlogistine http://www.77canadapharmacy.com/images/product/R/rub-A535.jpg


Just like I have no idea what a football hack is.

LOL again, it's this one, you do it facing the machine

AHHAHAHAHA nope no comedian for me... I involuntary make people laugh! :D


lol Mornin' Josie

Morning Lisa!

[Seosaid]

Today cardio only = 50 minutes on the elliptical!

[HoosierHardGain]

Strong cardio, Josie! Great job!

[BigBT]

Oh hell, now I have to go look up antiphlogistine. You know I hate scientific names! Maybe that's why rub-ass is so appealing. :D
Nice picture of that torture device you've been using. What's with the color codes weights though? Must be a Canadian thing. ;)

[Seosaid]

Ok I'm kind of in shock here, I thought antiphlogistine was very common! but I saw why it isn't below:

RUB A535 (Also know as Antiphlogistine) is a topical analgesic introduced in 1919 and manufactured by Church and Dwight in Canada. While relatively unknown outside of Canada (it isn't sold in the US), it is indeed a very popular product for the treatment of tough muscle pain, arthritic pains, rheumatic pains, bursitis, lumbago, etc. Church and Dwight claims on their website that nearly all the research, development and production of RUB A535 was and still is done in Canada. Patients who are allergic to salicylates (ASA based drugs, such as Aspirin ), or who are taking anticoagulant medications should avoid the use of the product.

Currently, Rub A535 has been released in a variety of products: Originally, it was produced in a particular white cream, carrying a rather offensive medical odour. Recently, the name was also given to a line of dual action back patches that change temperature (known as Hot-Cold patches). Also, an improved cream was also developed, claiming to be odourless, differing from their normal cream, which carries the same smell as most topical anagesics

Let's just call it Rub-Ass from now on :D

[Seosaid]

Before I start.... let me say I had one of the worse day ever!
Everything went wrong... computer problems... daycare problems (I CANT WAIT FOR THE REGULAR GIRL TO COME BACK :mad: )

I went to 2 stores... I needed 2 things only...guess what neither store had what I needed.. I came back home and vowed to stay put until tomorrow.

I got this call at 6:03 tonight ... when I answered the phone the guy requested to speak with **last name** Rockwell, (we have a strange last name, people never know how to pronounce it although I'm sure it's common in the US)
I told him with my best piss off voice that Rockwell **Last Name** couldn't come to the phone because he's only 8 months :mad:
I was sure he was a telemarketer... well the guy started laughing and ask to speak with his mother then... still in a very bad mood I asked what he wanted. Well turned out it's the passport office telling me they are FINALLY sending his passport over ( it's been 19 weeks!!)

Needless to say I was VERY nice after that .... and this is only good news of the day!

and my **hum** burn is a second degree burn.... do I need to say ouch??

[BigBT]

Sorry you had such a crappy day today. The good news for you is that the passports are finally done and that you improved on two exercises!

The good news for the rest of us is that reevaluation is usually accompanied by more pics, right? :D

[ChocoChick]

Think happy shopping thoughts, Josie and your bad day will evaporate.

Are you getting passports so you can come visit me? :)

[HoosierHardGain]

Sorry for the bad day, Josie. More sorry for the burn...ouch!

Hope it is better soon! ;)

[Seosaid]

LOL! Thanks Hoos'!


Ouch! Did you see a doctor about that? I'd love to see the doc's face when you told him about the rub-ass... ROFL



LOL Darren!

The thing with a **free** health care, is that people not really sick end up going for nothing.... so you always wait between 2 and 8 hours before you finally see a doc, do I need to say that unless I'm close to dying...I never go!

My son's doc is also a family friend so when I need something I call him... but in all honesty, I don't want him to see my butt! :D

I act like I'm sad but I was actually looking forward to that :D

That's it for today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Seosaid]

I've just received this message


It was agreed by all the Transformation America Series show has been reschedule for the Mr. Olympia weekend 2008 . This will give you and other models more marketing time and possible sponsors. I hope this meets with your approval.

[HoosierHardGain]

Sorry about the contest being pushed back, Josie. If it helps, you're welcome to video tape you posing routine for us to see :D

[TKD]

I know how to burn my whole butt too :D
And You mean 217 ;)


A whole year?!?!?! I'm sorry to hear that Josie. I know you were really looking forward to it.

Yup...seems like it! I guess they didn't have enough time to prepare the whole show and competitors usually start preparing a lot more than 2 months in advance... since the show was not even officially announced, I gather not many would have registered :rolleyes:

But again... being told 8 weeks prior that it's not happening I feel a bit let down... a show demands a lot of preparation... a lot of money... and much more!!, I know I'll have more time to be ready...which means an even better body BUT I cant help feeling disappointed


Sorry about the contest being pushed back, Josie. If it helps, you're welcome to video tape you posing routine for us to see

LOL As soon as I feel good enough to put my suit on I will Hoos'
You can be a judge! (a fair one please!;))



New routine mate? Only 50g carbs a day?? Crap, that's just my carbs in the ice cream I eat each day!! lol I'm JUST KIDDING, ALRIGHT??!! LOL

...and no dairy, + 5-6 hours cardio a week??!! Well, you know how to torture yourself, don't ya mate?? :

Seriously though Josie, you are doing really well! I'm proud of you!!



Well I decided not to tell my coach about the pushed back date for at least 2 weeks, so yes, that'll mean I'll be mad at you if you pronounce Ice cream of McD again :D
but she might add a bit more carbs and reduce the cardio once I tell her.

Thanks for being proud a me matey!
