[que_66]

ok I've completed 5 days in a row of am workouts. 1 day taebo & 4 days pilates. GOAL ACCOMPLISHED.


I'm really really tired, all my muskels are tight and to top it off I weighed myself this morning - same 157lbs as the last weigh in - I'm in plateau hell yet again. This sucks.

If it goes in my mouth, it get listed on my foods eaten for the day. Only things I forget to list are water and green tea. I repeat, This sucks.

Don't get mad - get even! No weight drop yet - but are you dropping BF? If so, it's working! If not, maybe try upping the calories to the 1884 (157*12) in your range, just to see if the really high activity level you have is causing 'starvation mode'? Maybe it is just me, but I can't cut below about 1750 calories/day to save my life and I only weigh 135 (oops, 129 this morning - gotta get back to the workouts, I'm losing MUSCLE . . ) (and I don't seem to be able to place a smilie today - time to go bug the cat or something equally as productive)

Que WILL win - Que NEVER quits! (We love Que!)

mother nature isn't due for another week......how long does it take to "add or grow muscle?"

... that is subjective... and there is no absolute answer... with consistency, effort, & dedication ... magnificent changes can occur in 12 weeks .. you will start seeing seem before that too ...

You put in a very solid week of training. I give you props on the diet, very strict and very detailed....nothing like my 'diet' lol...

As far as the bodyweight, DON'T worry about the scale numbers in the least. The body recompositions itself with exercise. The only thing you should judge by in terms of your body is what you see in the mirror.

 

[BiggT]

Also, I see Simply Jiff in there.....I LOVE Simply Jiff, lol.

Thanks for the encouragement, it hasn't been easy but the support that I've received on this site has helped me tremendously.

As a kid our family would take PB & honey, mix it together and spread it on fresh baked bread. I always ate the banana separately but at the same time as the sandwich, I just never put it ON my sandwich.

I actually did that a few months ago before I restarted my dieting. Then I read it in your thread earlier and had a little chuckle. "Sin food."

 

[BiggT]

You should try mashing up the banana and honey and spreading it on over the PB, then buttering the outside and doing it up like a grilled cheese.....this was one of Elvis' favorites, lol...

I used to eat them in high school all the time when I had trouble gaining weight, now I just break them out when I am stuck and can't gain weight any other way.

You are doing awesome que...stay strong and know that you are not in this alone!! Your diet and workouts are looking great. Like SG said, don't forget the critical ingredient of training and dieting and that is REST!!!!

PLUS you are doing a wonderful job of laying the smack down on Mermaid, and keeping her on her toes!! Keep it up!!

Good Morning everyone... *yawn*... Just got up and had some cream of wheat & 8 oz Crystal light pink grapefruit drink for breakfast. Gonna clean the house today and mow the lawn. If I'm feelin frisky later I'm gonna take the fat dog for a walk.

While re-reading my log this morning I realized I didn't list my crunches for yesterday, guess I was too excited about the stepmill LOL.

I like Crystal Light too believe it or not......it is subtle, most diet drinks try to overcompensate by adding 200,000,000 times more sweetener than they need.....Crystal Light is perfect. Next to milk, it is my favorite tasting drink.

I bought some of the Crystal Light Rasberry Ice today. I haven't tried that one yet. Just the Pink Lemonade and the Sunrise Orange.

 

[que_66]

I mowed the lawn today, ate a cheat meal (Chinese food) that I'm still paying for and took the fat dog for a walk. Now I'm going to chug some pepto and head for bed. And to think that I used to eat that stuff almost every week. I still feel like I'm gonna hurl.


Consider that a lesson learned.

Consider that a lesson learned.

Half a bottle of stomach stuff & 4 rolls of tp later it's a pretty safe assumption that I won't be eating chinese food again any time soon. I feel like I've been run over. I don't even want coffee.

If anyone needs me I'll be in the bathroom. I'll be the one wearing the "IMADUMB*SS" hat.

 

[*Bunny*]

Q honey, we ALL go through this ... it's part of the learning process & journey GF... It never feels as good afterwards, as it tastes when it's going down ... Just drink lots of water... please... for your body to release all the water & all the sodium in the Chinese food... until you float away ... Head up ... you're doing great

 

[que_66]

Well I managed to get some of the house clean during "bathroom breaks." LOL
I managed to go get some groceries and guess what I found?

Ezekial bread, 3 varieties. I bought the Exekiel 4:9 in the orange wrapper. Gonna give that a whirl. they still don't have soy pasta but apparently it's coming. Seems they are expanding their healthy/organic foods section due to so many requests. They actually have a refridgerated case now that's bigger than my closet!

I even bought a muffin tin and I'm getting ready to give those tuna muffins from the recipe thread a whirl too. Tuna Muffin Recipe

Ok, I'm off to the kitchen to remember how to cook and try not to burn the house down.

OK, girlfriend, just because I've been quiet over the weekend doesn't mean I'm not watching you

You've had such a good week, all that am cardio, muscle aches etc.

How's the morning protein working for you?

Chinese. Mmmm. For some reason, as soon as you clean out your system, wontons and beef with broccoli just doesn't go down the same way. What about that banana, PB and honey sandwich thing you were talking about? That might be the new cheat. Also, can't beat Glucorell and a gallon of water for easing the after effects of crap food.



So, enough of the nice talk. Get your ass moving woman. This new week has to be a repeat of the last.












But I still luv ya, lady Have I thanked you for my ass whipping? You're a big part of this whole process for me - thank you for being here - please don't stop

(1) e-mooned ya again. I'm not having much DOMS and that concerns me. Either my body is beginning to recover quicker or I'm just not doing enough even though it seems like it at the time. I leave the gym exhausted.

(2) Much better thank you. I still have to tweak the diet and get some things shuffled around. I have some new foods to incorporate so I can get this stomach acid in check and not feel hungry all the time. I'm slowly getting more of the organic foods incorporated. They're expensive so I'm trying to choose wisely.

(3) I used to eat chicken lomein almost every week. OMG how did I ever survive with all that crap in my body?

(4) I was too lazy to go buy a bananna but the PB & honey spread on a whole wheat tortilla is AWESOME!

(5) Ya ya ya bring it sisterfriend!

(6) Ditto.

now make sure you get your fins up tomorrow for cardio!

 

[que_66]

I need a little guidance.

I have to adjust my workout routine. I need to pick up a 2nd job, weekends only for a while and I want to babysit the grandbaby 1 night during the week.

I still plan on am cardio 5 days per week but I have to get my gym time down to 4 days per week. I'm thinking a two day split of upper/lower body and I know I'm going to have to hit it hard on those 4 days.

Yes, I'll be ordering something for energy because working 7 days per week won't be easy. I'm not happy about it but I gotta do what I gotta do.

 

[mermaid]

OK NELMS!! NELMS!! Get in here.....

What about adapting my workout? 4 day split, working bodyparts twice per week (I will also add a couple of isolation exercises for bis/tris). We have similar stats and goals...

Q - see link Nelm's Workout for Mermaid

 

[que_66]

Morning weight 157.5 ( friggin plateau)
I can tell I'm still bloated from the CFI (chinese food incident) so I'm be doing my best to keep chugging the water & get the chemicals flushed out.

Time for pilates

 

[que_66]

Well I survived day 1 of 2nd week of am cardio. I need to start stretching because I've noticed that I'm not as flexible as I think I should be. Looks like I'll be hunting a yoga video. I have PM Yoga on VHS but the dvd player is hooked up to the tv and I don't really wanna move the entire entertainment center 2 times a day to change connections. Might hunt down that switching station thingy that I know I have somewhere.








Merms....you better have them fins in the water by now... fins stretch to the left....ready: stretch,2,3,4........

The body is always stiff in the mornings anyway, so it may not even be your overall flexibility. AM cardio is a great idea, also, don't be afraid to throw in some abs or some back hypers and lots of stretches. Think of the AM session as sort of a primer to the PM weightlifting.

I would like to blame it on mornings by my flexibility is very poor in the evenings as well.

Unless my daughter changes her mind, tonite is an off nite for the gym because I get to babysit my punkin. Hopefully it won't be raining or cold and I can take her for a walk.

Today's funny:

A guy I work with starting asking me diet questions because he's just started a "high protein diet" and was wanting to compare notes, so to speak.

Me: What's the name of the diet?

Him: Oh just eating lots of protein everyday based on my weight.

Me: How much protein do you eat a day? How many carbs? How much good fat are you getting?

Him: I'd say around 100g of protein a day but it's hard to get much more than that in. I get plenty of carbs & fats I think.

Me: How much did you say you weighed and how much protein every day?

Him: weight is 170 and I get about 100g a protein a day if I can get it squeezed in.

[que_66]

I woke up and started my morning routine, took the dog out, got coffee, sat in the chair to wake up for a few minutes and then cardio. Same thing I do every morning now that I've incorporated am cardio.

I fell asleep in the chair.
No pilates.
Almost late for work.


I've taken extra iron supps this morning in hopes that it helps with the lethargy but I feel like I've been run over.

The good news is that I have DOMS! I guess the 4th set on leg day was what I needed for the push.

I'll have to make up the cardio at the gym tonite. I think it's upper body night.




I dislike mother nature a LOT at the moment.

 

[Gymgurl]

Good morning Que!!

Mornin que!! I am sorry you missed cardio, but there is always tomorrow...you have been doing great!!

Don't hate mother nature!! Embrace her!!

Cramping
Bloating
Lethargy

I'd like to embrace her..........between the grill of my truck & a brick wall.

 

[BiggT]

I hope you feel better tonight for a good workout

 

[FlyBrownChick]

Morning, Que! I hope you're feeling better today! Embrace Mother Nature with that same truck that ran over you.

 

[Roonytunes]

Awww, Que, hope you feel better soon! Once I fell asleep in the shower - when I woke up, I was lying down in the bathtub with the shower water hitting my face throughout - so I know lethargy and tiredness well.

 

[que_66]

Thanks IP, GG, BiggT, Fly & Diva Roo.


I'm having a PB, Syrup & Ezekiel bread sandwich for dinner tonight.
It's either that or chocolate cake from the deli.

***************************************************************
It's very annoying to be sensitive to stimulants. Being able to take a fat burner that helps with appetite suppression, gives you energy AND still lets you go to sleep at night would be wonderful!

Before the age of nutritional supplements how did we manage to get and keep enough energy to do what we needed to do everyday AND exercise to get back into shape as we got older?

Obviously I haven't reached the point at which exercising gives your energy instead of sucking it all out.

ok, enough whining, I'm the reason I'm overweight & I'm the one who's changing that. Why? Because I can.

Damn woman. I was looking forward to you having that chocolate cake so I could live vicariously through you. Out of all the food intolerances I've given up, chocolate seems to be the thing I'm craving right now.

Aunt Flo needs to get out of town already. Wish that was something you could help her along with

Don't get down on me girl. There can be low days but there will BE NO QUITTING.

You know that, it's just for emphasis.

No whipping today for fear of it snapping right back at me!!

Pfffffft! I never said a darn thing about quitting now did I?

Someone has to keep your fins in the water.

I always let flo run her course, no tylenol, no nothing. That way the cramps come, cramp hard and then she leaves quicker. (or at least that's what I keep telling myself is that she'll leave quicker.)

I miss chocolate so I have chocolate whey shakes every day. It's not cake but it's chocolate.

Here's my Thursday morning so far:

-- I slept through the alarm.....for almost an hour.
-- Banged my head on the wall getting out of bed.
-- Almost fell down the basement stairs because I was in a hurry.
-- Stepped on the dog because I didn't have my glasses on.
-- No am pilates (does running thru the house like a mad woman count as cardio?)

That's 2 days in a row and I went to bed on time both nights. Having no energy is bs, not to mention irratating.

I still feel a bit of DOMS from Monday's leg night & I intend on pushing them again tonight.

 

[FlyBrownChick]

Yikes! Been a rough few days. Just keep telling yourself...it's almost the weekend...it's almost the weekend...it's almost the weekend.

Have you done some leg stretching????
It will help work out some of the lactic acid.
I overslept my alarm also, well actually I forgot to set it!!! It's o.k. you could always do your cardio later in the day. Take a walk at lunch or soemthing...

Normally my am stretching is during pilates, today it was running thru the house saying "Oh **** I'm gonna be late...."

Yep, have to make up the cardio sometime today. I'm going to get my cardio in 5 days a week - wether it's am or pm doesn't matter - as long as I get it in 5 days a week.

(I would prefer that the cardio be in the am so that I have recovery time between cardio & lifting - but I have to do what I have to do.)

No offense intended but it's nice to know that I'm not the only one this stuff happens to.

Thanks T

Hi Que!

 

[que_66]

POSSIBLY THE VERY BEST CHICKEN JOKE EVER

A chicken and an egg are lying in bed. The chicken is leaning against
the headboard smoking a cigarette, with a satisfied smile on its face.

The egg, looking a bit pissed off, grabs the sheet, rolls over, and
says, "Well, I guess we finally answered THAT question!"

Good Morning EF!
I slept in till 9:30 am and it felt GREAT!
Took the dog out and noticed that it is raining. Guess it's a good thing the neighbor mowed my yard last night. She said she really needed some money and I didn't feel like mowing so it worked out well. She's 14 & I was tired.

Well I ate breakfast and took 1 capsule of the Stimulant X sample that I got in the mail and we'll see how that goes.

I bought "Maintenance Yoga for Weight Loss" dvd last nite because I really need to stretch more. I'm debating on doing the yoga dvd or hitting the gym for some treadmill time. Then again, it's raining and I don't really need to leave the house for anything right now.

So far the Stim X has made me "really awake." I'm not jittery but I am getting one heck of a headache, however, it's raining and that could be a contributing factor to the headache.

POINTS TO PONDER

1.. My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God and I didn't.

2.. I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

3.. I Work Hard Because Millions On Welfare Depend on Me!

4.. Some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them.

5.. I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

6. Don't take life too seriously; no one gets out alive.

7.. You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me

8.. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

9.. Earth is the insane asylum for the universe.

10.. I'm not a complete idiot -- Some parts are missing.

11.. Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

12. NyQuil, the stuffy, sneezy, why-the-heck-is-the-room-spinning medicine.

13.. God must love stupid people; He made so many.

14.. The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

15.. Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.

16.. Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

17.. Being "over the hill" is much better than being under it!

18.. Wrinkled Was Not One of the Things I Wanted to Be When I Grew up.

19.. Procrastinate Now!

20.. I Have a Degree in Liberal Arts; Do You Want Fries With That?

21.. A hangover is the wrath of grapes.

22.. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a cash advance

23.. Stupidity is not a handicap. Park elsewhere!

24..They call it PMS because MadCow Disease was already taken.

25..He who dies with the most toys is nonetheless dead.

26..A picture is worth a thousand words, but it uses up three thousand times the memory.

27..Ham and eggs. A day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.

28.. The trouble with life is there's no background music.

29.. The original point and click interface was a Smith and Wesson.

30.. I smile because I don't know what the hell is going on.

We had our corporate weigh in today for a voluntary "get healthy" program and they used a scale that measures bmi and mine was 27.4. When I had my bmi tested at the beginning of April it was 29.1. If the scale is correct my bmi has dropped 1.70

29.1
27.4
-1.70
