Calories and food looking good today!!!
I love my training day macros!! :chomp: :chomp: :chomp: I’ve hoping to lift 4x this week as well if I can get to the gym on Sunday, so I get to eat this much for that many days.
 
I felt inspired today to enjoy a sweet potato on your behalf. :D

I made sweet potato "fries", sliced up and sprayed with EVOO cooking spray, some paprika, cumin, curry... super good! Yum yum yum.

I can't believe YOU are managing to eat so clean right before the holidays! I mean, my diet is cleaned up, but STILL! :D

Have a happy day, sister.
 
I had to post this. I had enquired about the buffet menu at my NYE bash, and the organizer emailed me back knowing that I’m into fitness (I did the bachelorette gig for their date auction charity gala at their last large event) and told me she could have a special meal prepared for me if I just told her what I would like. I was floored – it just goes to show that if you’re dedicated enough, people do notice and try to help you out. After a lot of thought though, I decided not to request for one. It’s NYE and I feel a cheat meal is in order and I've already planned for it. So as much as I was tempted to go the grilled chicken and baked potato route, I passed. I hope I am not here on New Yrs Day typing about how much my stomach hurts and how sick and bloated I feel though :FRlol:

:D You are so me. You have the tools right there to be the best... but food is just... oh man alive, do I :heart: food!!!

I think you're doing the right thing, and honestly, on NYE (assuming you don't drink too much and lose all judgement you have!), you're going to keep in mind the whole night "Man, I do NOT want the big bloat tomorrow!"

It's so funny -- when I was obese/overweight, I had never SEEN myself bloated because you couldn't tell. NOW I can tell within HOURS or half a day and I HATE it! Now I know why women complained all this time! :FRlol: I know avoiding that feeling will be my underlying goal for Christmas, if I do have one.

That's great that they offered though. :) Tell them you are specially requesting a whole sheetcake in your honor -- extra frosting. :p

You crack me up, girl! Too funny :lmao:

Your sweet potato fries sound yummy! I just bought a little under 3 pounds of sweet potatoes today to take me through the week. I think my grocery store thinks I shop for a small village at the rate I go through fish, chicken and veggies these days :D

:verygood:WOW!!! :rose:x12 -- That is an INSANE workout! So am I reading this right -- you did push-ups between every SET... or every move change (i.e. between bench presses and the next move).

OUTSTANDING! :heart: I am having trouble personally developing my lateral delts -- my anterior and posterior delts are great and my traps are big too... but I can't seem to find the right move to get my lateral delts capped with the rest. Ideas?

I did push-ups right after every set before resting to do the next set, so yes, in between sets. I did just under 200 push-ups throughout the whole workout. It was a great way to exhaust the muscles that much further. I have to say I enjoyed the variation.

As for lats, I'm sure you already do this, but side db raises are what I do most. I change it up by varying the tut, sometimes just doing a ¾ motion or better yet negatives (use heavy dbs where you need someone to help you raise them to shoulder level & then bring it down very slowly to just 2 inches away from your side). You can also lift dbs to shoulder level and have someone press down while you resist the motion. All the other typical shoulder work, especially shoulder presses, help too. Go as heavy as you can. But essentially, it just takes a LOT of time and consistency like everything else. I always use the analogy that I'm waiting for my delts to cap like a two year old waiting for his front two teeth...and right now, I'm still only at the stage where they're edging out of the gums and I can feel them with my tongue :D

I'm such a :nerd: that I actually called my local Shoprite grocery store meat counter to find out if they have any plans to bring in bison steaks. I think one of the guys here had posted about the Great Range brand:

They said that they don't have it in stock, they'll have it in for me by Fri evening to pick up. Yayyy! New lean protein source to add as a meal :elephant:

You are such my stinkin' hero! :D I am seriously going to model my "ultra clean" diet after yours after I am done with the holidays (I'm not taking a break from clean diet... I'm just doing what I've always done recently).

Anyway, thanks for the tip on the lats. Today I did lateral DB raises (been doing those for awhile) and I didn't attack shoulder presses yet only because I don't think my pecs are totally ready for it (I was doing Smith presses, and before surgery they were rough).

Like I said, I have capped front and back delts... but the lateral delts are giving me hell. Ulter recommended I do inclined bench presses starting at my sides (arms at sides as I'm sitting) and raise them to above my head. It's a compound move and I focused on moving my arms from my side to in front of me -- did 3 sets of 10 with 10# dbs (light, but hey... PECS!) :D

He said that's what built his up so we'll see how it does for me.

And SPINNING -- I'm sore as hell from getting back into running so fast (2 5Ks at the gym the last 2 days -- YEAH! Both in under 30 minutes), but once my legs heal.... I'm tempted! Hmmm...

I may have to post pics here to get an opinion. I have a flattering black halter dress, but I always find black to be a bit blah and I do remember Bunns telling me during our fashion fit hour in Detroit that she likes me better in color. Then again, it is NYC where everyone does wear black, so I'll have to do some modeling of dresses this weekend on my own to see what feels right.

I'm in AWE that you press 270#! Da-yummm! :elephant:

SUCH a trooper! LOVIN' it! :heart:

And hey, I feel the same way about black dresses -- when I was 260#, the only color dresses they made for super fat girls like me were black ones. So once I lost weight, I decided NO MORE BLACK DRESSES.

Haha -- that didn't last. There are just so many of them, and I'm now seeing that black isn't to cover up the bad things... it's just CLASSY and CLASSIC. :D I'm sure you'll look smashing in whatever you choose!

:) Your skin tone, shiney hair smile & juicy lips make reds look smokin' what can I say :)
Black works, I love black. If everyone wears black and you wanna stand out THAT much more, pick the color... :) I vote for pics :)
 
Awwe. I love black! I have a feeling we're similar skintone/hair color (I'm NC 45), and I always reach for black. :lmao: Coral and a seafoamy turquoisish (lmao, I am not good at describing colors) always seem to me my features pop more, though.
 
Okay, outfit pictures will be posted. I'll snap a few over the weekend in my top two choices and you guys can decide :) Thanks for helping me out and all the kind words too :friends:

And W2BLean, I'm NW45 so we must be close. I love turquoise too. Now you make me wish I had a turquoise dress to wear...but my choices are red/black pattern or all black. I also have a fushia pink option, but I have to see how it fits. After all this training, every outfit has to be re-tried to see whether it still hangs right on me.

Off to pick up the new :roadster:....see y'all in a bit

I hear ya on that one... packed my bag to come to TX and realized when I went to get dressed today that the shirt I brought (my fav button up from last year) doesn't fit anymore :lmao: Buttons kept poppin open so I had to round up a tank top to wear underneath :)

Enjoy your weekend festivities I am sure you will look great in whatever you decide to wear!!! :rose:
 
I'm baaaack and my new car is mine now!!! :dance2: I will admit I was a little sad to say bye to the old car though. It served me well.

Since you guys asked for pics, here you go....to keep with the theme of this forum, here are before and after shots:

Now (new car)

I was only half kidding to the dealership when I said I wanted a big red bow, but they came through. Too bad it was drizzling all day so it got soaked. It's cloth though, so I'm going to dry it out and hold on to it. I'm a happy camper today :D
 
^^ Nice car!! Very nice!! Congrats!

And I vote YES on clothes pics too, tho you'll look AWESOME in anything you wear.....
 
So, can I have your old car? :lmao:

It is GORGEOUS!!!

Oh, and fuschia always seems to pop on darker skin tones. If that dress fits well, I'm sure it will look stunning. I can't wait to see all of your outfit choices!

I was sad to say goodbye to my old car! Fushia or turquoise are always good for darker skin tones. I see this a lot in figure suits too. Check back in on Sun or Monday and I'll try to have some pictures posted. Enjoy your holiday weekend and eat & drink up some for me! :beer:

I am already drinking up. The hubby and I have almost finished a big bottle of merlot. :lmao:

I was thinking... most vibrant colors, whether it be pastel (as in powder pink) or bright (as in fuschia) seem to work great with darker skin tones. I have no doubt that you will find an absolutely fantastic dress to wear. I will most definitely be checking in to see your choices. I'm a bit of a fashion whore myself. LOL!

Sat, Dec 3rd

Scale weight: 114.5lbs

I was awol yesterday because I had to go to NYC to get my hair done, or rather redone! I had Japanese straightening/thermal reconditioning done about a month ago and it didn't take. I know there have been horror stories with people whose hair has completely broken off at the ends with this process, but I've had it done four times at a Japanese salon in NYC with no problems. Unfortunately the girl who normally did it in the last two years has moved back to Japan, so I had someone else this time around. He claimed he had read over my file and knew what I needed, but while it looked good as I walked out of the salon, the ends started flipping in just two days. I was pretty annoyed. Not only is it pricy, but it takes 3 hours of time and not to mention, I also lose an entire day because it takes 2 hrs each way to get to NYC! Luckily, they were nice enough to tell me they'd redo it for free but just to wait a month so I don't damage my hair. So yesterday I headed down again and this time, I felt it went much better. They used a stronger solution and let it sit in my hair longer. This is a picture of my hair when we were done:

Now I just have to hope it stays straight and shiny like that at least for another 3 months. After that, I can use a flat iron again on my own and usually the process wears off in about 6 months totally.

I am already drinking up. The hubby and I have almost finished a big bottle of merlot. :lmao:

I was thinking... most vibrant colors, whether it be pastel (as in powder pink) or bright (as in fuschia) seem to work great with darker skin tones. I have no doubt that you will find an absolutely fantastic dress to wear. I will most definitely be checking in to see your choices. I'm a bit of a fashion whore myself. LOL! (I just wish I had the bank account to support it :lmao: )

I wish you an awesome holiday season.
Oooh, I love Merlot! I'm glad you had some for me too :FRlol:

Yesterday while in NYC, I actually braved shopping in Herald Square to see if I could find any dresses. Truthfully that area is always a mob scene I couldn't tell it was any different for the holidays. I must have tried on 10 dresses, turquoise, fuschia, retro print, red etc., but I had to concede and say nothing looked better than the ones I have at home already. So I just bought one belted zebra-printish blouse (I have a soft spot for animal prints and black/white prints too!) to wear to work. I got a little carried away with my shopping time and literally had to run in 4 inch heels to catch the 9pm bus back home. To quote Daisy, "aye chihuahua"....no matter how comfy the shoe is, running in 4 inch heels is not a pleasant experience :lmao: But I did make it. See all that cardio comes in handy after all :D

Hope you're having a happy holiday, W2BL & I do hope you'll come out to Columbus in March so I can meet you and we can talk clothes :)
 
:wavey: Sorry to hear bout your hair experience, but glad you got it fixed and got some good shoppin in while you were out too!
 
:wavey: to SBT....like the hair now so it's all good :D

Thanks for stopping by, Bunns! I :heart: the benzo. With the black tinted windows, I do feel like quite the pimp :FRlol: Hope the holiday weekend is going well for ya! :santa2:

Well, as promised, here are pics of my dress choices for NYE. I actually eliminated the black one because well, I just didn't feel like it was me.

This is my first choice:

This isn't really an option because I don't feel super comfy in it, but I tried it on for Will2BLean since she's a fan of turquoise :)

They're all cut similarly since they're all Arden B dresses....in case you're wondering

It's my last day on program for the year. I've been officially told from tomorrow onward to eat and drink what I want, with no tracking, but the BIG caveat is no complex carbs. This automatically takes most extravagent cheats out of the equation. I'll still be training and am allowed PWO carbs. I do feel a little lost without structure, BUT I'm reminding myself that I'm at my lowest weight and best shape of my adult life. 2006 has been very good for my mind, body and health! :)

My friend from Columbus, OH (the one I'm staying with for the Arnold) is visiting from tomorrow night till Sat afternoon. I took Friday off so we can hang and spend all day together. And then on Sunday, I leave for NYC for NYE - really looking forward to the crew I'm hanging out with that night. So I have a few fun days ahead of me :elephant:

Wanted to have a protein shake but friend's flight wound up arriving a half hour early (?!)

Off to pick up friend at airport....he gets to choose our cuisine of choice for dinner and I'll prob be drinking tonight after a long hiatus of 5 or 6 weeks (I can't even remember anymore!). And instead of thinking how many martinis of what kind to down, I'm instead worried about how much my head may hurt tomorrow. I think that's some kind of progress, right? :D

Heck yeah that is awesome progress!!! I am right there with ya, I kinda sorta miss going out and having a good time but then again don't miss the tired feeling the next day... although I am lucky enough to never have had a hangover yet ;)

Well, so far so good....woke up & drank 2-3 tall glasses of water. I had one glass of red wine with dinner and a few club sodas with a splash of Stoli blueberry. I like this whole "splash" concept....very faint taste of vodka but it's still there. I think this will be a future strategy :D

Cheat meal consisted of bbq chicken & 1/4 rack ribs combo with steamed green beans and broccoil. Hit a few bars and when I came home, I made myself a snack of cottage cheese, s/f chocolate jello pudding mix and a handful of pecans - was SO delish :p Am happy with how I handled myself last night. Only 3 more days to go now ;-)

Lookin' good, Roons! :chomp:

Honestly, isn't that weird where you know you can eat whatever you want for a meal all day long... but you still choose to eat fairly clean? :) I tend to do well at lunchtime on my cheat days because then I think "Oh wow, I'm going to have a GREAT meal tonight."

And I hear Duckie on that whole drinking thing too -- the idea of waking up sick isn't fun for me anymore.

And Roons, I'm jealous your body can handle BBQ ribs. :( I miss pork and red meat... don't tell Ulter. :qt: Actually, now I know red meat makes me sick so no more! Booo!

Have a wonderful day, lady! :rose: x 12

Way to go!!!!!!! Hmmm good drink choice as well.... thats what I always pick, but I surely didn't know that Stoli had a blueberry out now :evil: I used to get rasberry or sometimes orange for a change of pace :)

But I am proud of you sounds like you made some great choices, and that bedtime snack does sound pretty tasty :p

Hi Ladies! :wavey: I’m back and survived Times Square! I had a detailed plan put together and was able to follow it to a tee, so there was no mayhem at all. I had a lot of fun although it seemed like midnight came a little too fast. But I was really happy to be able to spend it with good friends! Even with the open bar, I didn’t drink too much and woke up totally sans headache. I did however fully take advantage of the buffet dinner! :FRlol: I haven’t eaten totally clean since Thursday night and have realized it is important to throw some cheats toward your system or it just loses its ability to process. There’s no need to go buck wild crazy, but throwing a few curveballs at your body does seem to shake it up. I actually look leaner this morning as a result :D And I'm back on program and can't wait to start my year on a good note!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks, girl! It’s always so hard to drag myself out of bed so early, but then I feel great afterwards having got cardio out of the way and also a nice energy boost for the rest of the day too.

hey roony are you doing SOS? I dont know why I thought that you were.... maybe a post on another thread or something...
Yup, but only the diet and not the training. But I’m now a total Savage girl at heart! I’m going back for winter camp in Boston at the end of the month and can’t wait :)

really? why not the training? Just curious ; I had heard bout SOS ; and had infact paid for the services diet and training but I never did ever start it ; it was really complicated ; I sometimes like to jsut stick to the same thing everyday. :) What are your thoughts? Did you have sucess with it?

Not the training, only because I already work with a trainer here locally who I really like! I didn't feel like fixing something that wasn't broke. For me, personally, I love the program and am happy with my progress on it. But yes, it is complicated in the beginning, you have to be organized and you have to be willing to follow it properly and thoroughly to see results. But I like structure, so it works for me. However, if you like to do the same thing every day, then it's not the best option quite honestly.

Thanks, Tre! :kiss: Persistance, consistency & patience I think are the three virtues you really need....but of course, the right training and nutrition to fuel that have to be in place too!

Hello, gorgeous! ;) I found some of that unsweetened almond milk at the grocery store yesterday, and it was AWESOME in my shake this morning. It was only $2.19 a carton, too! I was expecting it to be like $5!!! :lmao: The meat man was gone, though, so no buffalo for me.

Have a great weekend. :rose:
 
BTW Roons - Shop Rite has the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze 32oz. container on sale this week starting tomorrow for $1.99 in Original, Vanilla & Chocolate....

What do you get, Vanilla?
 
Thanks for the compliment on the dress, JL & Jens! :rose: It was perfect for the occasion – not underdressed and not too dressy either.

Hey girl! I had the same shake you did today too – it was excellent! I love the term “meat man”. I only deal with the “fish man”. All my poultry and meats are case ready otherwise.

Enjoy the booze-free party tonight. I always have club soda with lime because in a cocktail glass, it looks like a real drink :D

My Shoprite doesn’t carry the unsweetened kind. The regular kind is full of sugar, so I never even look that way. I get both the unsweetened chocolate & vanilla – Whole Foods has ‘em. I can’t seem to consolidate my grocery shopping. I have specific TJ & Whole Foods items that I can’t get anywhere else and then have my regular Acme shopping. Now I have to add Shoprite to my list because they carry buffalo and Acme doesn’t. Grrr! :evil: Eating clean AND well is not an easy task.

Ohhhh so it's not automatically unsweetened?? I'll have to make sure I note that and read the label.....

OK I've got Acme & ShopRite here + TJs.......no WF's yet....

Nooooo....very different macros, so make sure you get the unsweetened kind. That website I gave you, www.netrition.com, carries all the flavors unsweetened and the cartons don't need to be refrigerated and keep for a while, so I buy a dozen at one shot.

Well, I'm glad it wasn't only MY head in the gutter when it came to the Meat Man. :lmao:

Nope, no booze temptation... except that there's a case of beer, half gallon of bourbon, bottle of wine, and carton of egg nog in the fridge. :evil:
