Okay, let's see if I can keep this up everyday.

Weight: 120
BF: ? (will get skinfold this week, although in the past not accurate)
Training:
- Limited due to shoulder surgery in September.
- Still in therapy and will be for another 6-8 weeks.
- 3 weeks ago was able to get back to an almost normal leg program. However, I still can't squat and I can never do SLDLs again. Doing 5x5 for legs to get some strenght back.
- Back/shoulder/chest limited to PT program
- Arms just getting back into normal routine, but need to be careful b/c bicep tendon goes right into surgical site.

Hehe I've done that with tequila too... love good margaritas! Don't worry, for the most part I drown my sorrows in the gym. It's my stress relief and it also allows me to sleep at night.

Still fighting this cold. I think it's taking a turn now. I've moved from stuffed up to runny nose and sore throat. Hopefully this is the end! Regardless I'm going to the gym tomorrow.

 

[lucidblue]

Right now I'm trying to fight of the urge to go get a smoothie from Amazon Cafe. This cold just makes me want one and my throat is starting to hurt. I may go try to get a small one with the least amount of carbs (also one just with ice and no sherbert or yogurt). Or I may just continue to fight myself all afternoon.

Just my 2 cents..... I find when I have a "craving" that it's better to allow myself a small portion of what I want -- otherwise I binge later...... Don't know if you're like this or not......Like you said, have a small one and pick the healthiest....

Great Job........1200 Cals Is Target And You Hit 1195.......perfect

Actually my target is 1320, I'm doing by x11... so it's even more perfect . I'm getting a bit frustrated right now though because of this damn cold. I really hope it is over by the end of this week. Not really sure that I should go to the gym tonight. The sore throat started last night. 3 weeks of this nonsense. Very frustrating since I'm so psyched to get back on track.

 

[lucidblue]

To go to the gym or not??? I feel a lot better this afternoon. Sore throat is mostly gone. Should I take another day of rest or just go? I really don't want this cold bouncing back again.

Mistakes of the day: should've had a small chili instead of large, but was starving. Wouldn't have gone over calories then and would have only been about 4g over on fat. That or I could've ditched the sunflower seeds and would've been under cals and fat.

Lucid - how much Melatonin do you take? I LOVE that stuff.

I don't seem to need much... only take 3mg.

 

[Daisy_Girl]

Same here - I actually can take 2mg and be fine. I only take 3mg when I have extra time to sleep, otherwise it knocks me out too much, I sleep TOO heavy.

Good stuff.

 

[lucidblue]

I'm not doing very good with diet... I keep going over calories. I'm just so hungry. I just started getting back to lifting since the surgery (I didn't have problem sticking at 1320 before that). This could be the reason I'm so hungry. I'm going to try to keep aiming for 1320 and see what happens. Maybe I should be doing maintenance now and then go back to cutting after I get used to be being back at gym? Thoughts?

Yeah, I need to get more Thermorexin... was trying to save cash for awhile, so stayed away from it. Guess it's time to buy some again.

 

[Daisy_Girl]

The T-Rex will be great for helping with appetite. I would definately spring for this now, esp since you are struggling with food intake.

 

[lucidblue]

Was out of town for work yesterday and today (and didn't take my computer... felt great to be disconnected for a change). Anyway, will start posting my food again tomorrow. Yesterday can be my cheat day. Today I had a stomach bug, so I just ate anything that even sort of sounded good since I had to make it through a plane ride.

 

[The Shadow]

well CHEAT DAY + SICK DAY = BREAK EVEN

Finally ordered more Thermorexin. Hopefully this will help, although last time it made me extremely hungry. We'll see.

Thanks skittles and Jen. I think the definition in my second pic is b/c of the PT for my shoulder. A lot of it focuses on scap and mid-back b/c I have weakness there from so many years of compensation from the shoulder. The rest of my body is just getting back into the swing of things.

Okay a few pics from tonight.

Your beginning pictures are great! I wish I had that much tone in my back! Funny... but for years I never worked back. One day my ex asked me why I don't work my back (I was premature as far as how to work-out), I would just say because I can't see my back so why does it matter? Yeah I laugh at that now.... Needless to say all he did was laugh and walk-away.

Repeat after Shadow...

Nothing TASTES as good as being in shape FEELS

LOL

I knew it would come in handy....she resisited the brainwashing - now she is tempted by the darkside

LOL, I'm not sure I can agree with that statement . But pizza is definitely not the thing that would taste THAT good.

Well, shhh... pretend like you agree... LOL... if not for your sake, for Shadow's sake...

hahaha Shadow

Pizza wouldn't be the thing for me either. My family orders it every weekend and it's a rare occasion that I feel tempted to join in. Better to wait for a big fat brownie or a bowl of ice cream

Getting BF% tested tonight. Only 3 site test though. Oh well.

 

[Evil_Frisky]

Damn.. how did I miss these pics......

You look amazing already darlin... you will look SMOKIN..

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Okay a few pics from tonight.

Great JOB you look great I am guessing your bf at 17% to 14%

 

[lucidblue]

Great JOB you look great I am guessing your bf at 17% to 14%

Thanks QT... here's hoping. Last time I got it done everyone on the board thought the reading came out at 5% more or so than I actually was.

Thanks to you too Frisky!! We're all working hard and suffering with blah food .

 

[lucidblue]

Alright, I didn't like my BF%. It came out to 25%. Here are the folds:

Tricep 1st: 22; 2nd: 23 (another girl tried it and it came out 19 then 20, but the ab and thigh measurement came out higher so it evened out)
Ab 1st: 11; 2nd: 13
Thigh 1st: 29; 2nd: 29

I just don't look like I have that much fat. When I had training pics posted a year ago on here everyone thought the BF% that was give was too high. I dunno. Maybe I just carry it well.

 

[The Shadow]

I see them....nope


not 25...not even 20


blow off the pinch sites and have someone else do them,

[lucidblue]

Thanks everyone... it just sounds sooo completely wrong. I was starting to think I'm crazy. I'm going to find a place with a 7 site test.

I think Shadow told me there may be less room for error in a 3 point (correct me if I'm wrong) It's very wrong - how did they calculate it?

No wonder women worry so much about their bods - because of morons like them....

 

[The Shadow]

I see them....nope


not 25...not even 20


blow off the pinch sites and have someone else do them,

again - nope...trust me......I have calibrated eyeballs

 

[lucidblue]

again - nope...trust me......I have calibrated eyeballs

So should I look for a 3 or 7 site test?

 

[Evil_Frisky]
