Roonytunes 2006

[T-Cake]

Lying Abductor kicks (both legs attached to opposite cable machine emulating abductor machine)
1 set of 15 on each leg with 15lbs
2 sets of 15 on each leg with 10lbs

OMG, I'd be SO shy and scared to do that at the gym! Might as well get a pap in front of all the boys! Eek!

Seriously, Roons, you are AWESOME at describing those moves. Where did you come up with most of them? A few of them (like the standing with the kick-up with the cable) sounds a lot like one I read about in Shape while on the plane yesterday.

I really wish my gym had a BOSU ball. Have you ever used one of those for yours lifts? I always see really good ideas for those, and I'm all about workin' the core (thanks to curgeo -- he hammered that into my brain!)

Awesome job, chica!!! I wish I could be at the meet-up for the !!! It's just too close to the move! *sigh*

I wasn't thrilled about doing that move either. But my trainer had Red Bull that day...everytime he has Red Bull, he's a little nutty. Regardless, I'll say my inner thighs felt that move and they definitely need to be tightened up, so I can't complain too much.

I get some of my workout ideas from mags - Shape, Fitness, Women's Health - and also from watching other trainers at my gym. And yes, I use the BOSU ball from time to time. If you go through my log, you'll find a slew of moves that I've done on them. I actually just read that BOSU stands for Both Sides Up, but I'm like "why is there an O in there?" I actually like to do a lot of moves with the ball side on the floor so there's more balance involved.

I'm bummed that I won't get to meet you in Detroit....but we'll definitely be thinking of ya!



Those 4lbs will be off you soon and I can't wait to hear about it when they do! We'll to that

Yeah, my gym doesn't have a BOSU, but I'd like to try one out someday.

And keep your fingers crossed for that 4! I'm so sore today that I'm worried I'll hold so much water weight on the scale tomorrow that nothing will show!

I’m off to NYC again!! I actually am attending a meet-up this afternoon for another board that I post on so I’m excited about finally seeing these faces in person.

I’m going to try to officially start the cheat period from 6pm onward and be good till then. I’m having a much needed girl’s night out tonight: dinner at a trendy restaurant ( = fancy s ) followed by a party which hopefully will have a good crowd.

I’m taking oats, tuna pouches, almonds, apple slices, Zone bars, Muscle Milk with me. We’ll see how I do. I’ll be back home tomorrow. Have a great weekend everyone!

Confession: I feel a little guilty for doing two consecutive cheat Saturdays, but right now, I feel like I have to work on satisfying myself mentally and emotionally too. So I have to get out of the house!! Let’s see how my body reacts and I will figure out my priorities based on that.

MMMMMMM Breakfast sounds very yummy!!! Hi there Roony!

Sun, 6/18

I'm posting from my hotel in NYC. Yesterday turned into a half cheat day. Partly, I attribute it to circumstances and partly to lack of will power on my part....

What I ate/drank: 2 zone bars, 15 almonds, 1 grilled chicken skewer, roast lamb sandwich on thick white bread, a huge indian meal for dinner (large lamb shank curry and 3-4 pieces of naan), 4 martinis (peach, passionfruit, guava and a cosmo ), 3-4 vodka/club soda cocktails

Did I have fun? Yes! But I am DONE and need to start tapering the cheats. Yes, life hasn't been kind to me the last few weeks but I'm done feeling sorry for myself and I'm snapping out of it. The really nice thing about last night is a lot of people complimented me on my body including a few 23 yr old young 'uns.

This is my eating plan for today:

10am: 1/2 cup oats & 1 scoop chocolate whey mixed with water

11:30am: large starbucks unsweetened coffee mixed with 3/4 cup muscle milk

3pm: 1 apple, 15 apples

I bought 8 oz of marinated chicken breast, so I plan to find some salad to eat it with for meal 6 and meal 7.

I'm heading out shopping for the rest of the afternoon and should be back home by tonight.

Back on track tomorrow....have a happy Sunday everyone!

Sun, 6/18

This is what I really ended up eating today:

10am: 1/2 cup oats & 1 scoop chocolate whey mixed with water

11:30am: large starbucks unsweetened coffee mixed with 3/4 cup muscle milk

1:45pm: brown rice tuna/avocado sushi from Whole Foods
(fyi, the whole foods at Union Square NYC is truly a mecca. it's 3 floors and looks like a department store. there's a coffee bar, juice bar, numerous hot and prepared food lines as well as a huge salad selection. if you're ever in the neighborhood, it's worth checking out. it's very different than the 2-3 stores I have around me in Philly)

5pm: 3 oz grilled chicken, 1/4 apple, 15 almonds

8pm: 4 oz grilled chicken, large salad (greens, tri-color peppers, onions and jalapeno peppers) with red wine vinegar/black pepper dressing

I don't have totals or macros, but am happy I was able to eat clean while entirely out of the house and on the road today.
