Shadows project.....

[treilin]

I cant believe this a trainer telling you it is better to eat 3 times a day... what a loser... He just wants you on his client list so he can brag to the fat peeps that he trains you so they better train with him... Or he just wants to get you in the sack... Why is it that men think it is okay to hit on girls while we are working out? I would really like to know the answer to this... We are at the gym, sweating like crazy and some meathead comes over "hey baby want to come to my place tonight?" what the fuck... Yeah I would love to... And while I am at it how about I use you for my personal towel to wipe all my sweat onto....

Wouldn't it be awesome for the group of us to walk into a gym and hand out Shadow's training plan and show them the results we are getting. Then the PT's would have noone to train, ha ha....

 

[skittles]

why would you drop cals?

Oh, I thought you wanted 10x's your body weight. Guess not

 

[The Shadow]

Oh, I thought you wanted 10x's your body weight. Guess not

nope.....I have pretty much always said 10-12....




(Even if I WAS a stickler for EXACTLY 10%...I would not change anything unless BF sis not drop for 7-10 days)


but you are 126-127 right??




isnt the diet already 1260?

..or Is it too early for me to think about this?/

LOL

I actually didn't add it up. Trelin did (thanks ) - I think its around 1370. Yeah, it's pretty early

 

[The Shadow]

Gotcha....if those are correct...its still uner 11 cals /pound.


as MUCH progress as you are making........and as tempting as it is to do "more".....lets stay the course at the moment......10 per pound is my absolute minimum for cals...we WILL be adding 1 more cycle on the HIIT cardio next week on each HIT day..so I think we're still good.

btw - GREAT question about the cals.......this is where experience comes into play, and without knowing your specific body, I would rather err on the side of drooping fat at a non-maximum rate then to start burining lbm

Ok, sounds good than

 

[*MissFit*]

It's funny.. we have tons of trainers at my gym as well.. none have approached me.. Thank god. But ihave a friend who has quite a different body type and theyhave approached her a number of times.. and she has fallen for it.. on a few occasions..

I was smart.. when i joined i made it clear i knew what i was doing and was able to attain my goals on my own..

Guys still yap at you.. but i gvie short one word answers.. gives them the hint to go away

 

[The Shadow]

Ok, sounds good than

I also edited my post.

 

[skittles]

I also edited my post.

Ok I see. I just get the 'I want in NOW' attitude, slow & steady is always better / long-term.

 

[The Shadow]

..I also like to keep motivation high by leaving a bit in the reserve tank

 

[skittles]

I don't think the trainer guy is trying to hit on me. I think he sees me with the paper & figures I'm dumb (Some of the exercises are new to me & I practice the technique of the ones I don't know BEFORE I actually begin any type of WO) He would really have to be desperate to find anything about my WO attires attractive.

 

[skittles]

..I also like to keep motivation high by leaving a bit in the reserve tank

Good idea

Yeah, I like them. I have done them before (about a year ago, I would do what I called 7 sec reps. (7 sec's down, 7 up) They are tough but you get a great pump - Well, IF I had muscles to be pumped - they would be

"dietary indiscretion"


LOL

I have 2 guesses - new Protein powder OR the power was out when I got home, so I made eggs / pre cooked chicken breast on a coleman stove........don't know why either of those would matter

 

[skittles]

Or maybe - I had cashews today instead of almonds / mac nuts.........would that make a difference?

 

[The Shadow]

hmmm...if it was the same TYPE of powder ie - whey and whey it wouldnt matter

nuts wouldnt either


anything different with creatine glut

Nice, let me know how you like it.

I always go away for a few weeks. Was gonna back to Thailand this year, but I wouldn't be able to see all those poor kids & do nothing about it.

I'm thinking Florida keys - ever been?

Well I'll be sailing by those... My friends lived there had a awesome time. Why Thailand? My friend is half Taiwanese and she goes back there every few years. You don't look half Taiwanese though... the blonde hair...

 

[skittles]

Taiwan & Thailand are pretty far away fr. one another. I love Thailand because the beaches are beautiful!! They are truely spectacular. I find them much nicer than Mexico, Cuba, DR etc... The people there rock & the culture / stuff to see is incredible. Food's great too! Oh yeah - shopping - EVERYTHING is SO SO cheap!!!!!

Also, I really enjoy watching Muay Thai (style of fighting) so I did alot of that

Hey, I don't know where lots of countries are!

Ohhh, no more long sleeved shirts for you!

 

[treilin]

All i can say is i have done almost a week on this exercise thing.. and my arms r popping

I have noticed a huge difference in my muscles in the past week. The strength, and I see more definition. Course I'm on my own this week... next week I join up with you all on the weights...

 

[skittles]

Feeling very sick & bloated tonight.......... wonder what's up

So, I figured this out (I think)
Yesterday was a snowstorm & my work closed down. My lunch was in the cafeteria (that got locked up) so I ate a protein bar (Odyssey) must not be able to handle the sugar alcohols for some reason. Also, I got lazy, and didn't count my nuts (I had 2 servings yesterday). Probably ate too many.

Anyway, back on track today & I have a new column in my journal to figure out the exact ratios of EVERYTHING & get back on track. Feel like yesterday was a waste - should I count this as a cheat day?

Shadow I think you have a couple lush's on your hand. You may have to put some constraints on our cheat night? Not sure if we Alley and I went over board???

 

[Sassy69]

Here's one thing about "cheat nites" -- you are responsible for how far you go with them. If you are planning to let it all hang out, then do it and set up your next few days to accommodate it.

 

[alycat]

yep Looks like we have some hard work ahead of us ...

 

[skittles]

Alycat, how did you like the arm WO?

I'm a day behind (because the gym was closed on monday)

I was going to do it today, but I'm still waiting to pick my BF up from the airport. Hope his flight isn't delayed

I'm skipping today.. 15-30cm of snow and it looks like a blizzard outside

hmm......well....have you done Sissy Squats?

 

[treilin]

hmm......well....have you done Sissy Squats?

yes, and I guess I will do sissy squats. The hack machine was broke last time and that's why I ask. Maybe they have it fixed now!

 

[The Shadow]

do those then as they will work......if the hack is fixed of course....

 

[alycat]

where's Skittles today???

 

[treilin]

where's Skittles today???

Remember her Boyfriend is back

 

[skittles]

No, had nothing to do with him!!

I was burried in the snow!! Power went off on Sat. night/ early Sunday morn & I'm just getting it back!! No power means, frezzing cold here & cold water showers I could NOT get warm & now I have a cold

So, I'm much behind all of you
Still haven't trained arms from last week (behind from the 2 storms last week)
EVERYTHING was closed once again today... Well, the pharmasave opened & I got some decongestants.

OK - so I'm behind on arms fr. last week & legs this week. HIIT today too. I never ate badly, BUT my diet still was shitty. Couldn't cook etc, so I'd have a big gross breakfast & than nothing till I could crawl out from under the covers




OK -- I'm gonna have to think of a plan to catch up, I'll see what you think Shadow.

 

[skittles]

Could I change it to this:

Tuesday:

morning - HIIT
afternoon - arms (fr. last week)
night - legs

Wednesday:

morning - HIIT
afternoon - Back
night - chest

Thursday / Friday = same as posted

What do you think? I know that's alot for Tues & Wed., but I think it would be ok for 2 days?

NOTE THE DIFFERENT HIIT INTERVAL TIME AS WELL

 

[skittles]

NOTE THE DIFFERENT HIIT INTERVAL TIME AS WELL

Ok - sounds great. Yeah, HIIT will be more intense, but 75 sec's is a good 'resting' period.

We aren't supposed to get anymore snow till Friday. I hope that's true, or someones gonna have to come & dig my house out.

Today was a blowout too, so I'm gonna do a Tae-bo video once it gets a bit warmer.

 

[skittles]

Thanks to all of you for your nice comments

I had lot's of reading to catch up on. I think I'm truely an EF addict now. All I was worried about is when I could log on.

I decided that I'm not going to go to work tomorrow. I just feel so behind on my workouts / diet. If I take the day off, I can have a total perfect gym/diet day & get me back on track.

So, what are some cardio options to do in the am if you don't own any CV equipment??

There may be some cardio videos on DVR, I'll check -- my house is really small, so I'll have to move the couch & giant coffee table to do them.....LOL

Our roads here aren't plowed, so I can't go out & run/walk till it melts...

well.....do intervals as you go to the gym

 

[jenscats5]

well.....do intervals as you go to the gym

I usually do do that..... interval CV after my weight workout on the track/treadmill/elliptical...when I go to the gym in the afternoon....

But, since AM CV is best......... suggestions for am cardio based on my current limitations??

Afternoon trip to the gym will still consist of walking to & from the gym....or would that be too much CV activity in 1 day??

 

[skittles]

Could you shadow box/ kick/run on the spot for like 40sec's, than walk in place, jumping jacks.......i dunno. If you can kick/punch you should have a good WO.

Shadow - btw, your program was written out VERY well this week. I like seeing it all laid out

Hi Skittles,
I'm new to the board, but I'm so glad I took the time to read this lengthy thread. You are making amazing progress girl. It's hard to believe you started just this very month. You go girl, you made a believer out of me.
I'm tempted to try to follow along, yet our body composition is way different. I have so much weight to lose. The kicker is my gym has some whack equipment.
However, I'm gonna stick around and read your progress and cheer you, and everyone else following Shadow's project along the way. You are truly giving me the inspiration to still find my groove, and get and continue working.

Necia

I had an AWESOME work-out today... I had so much energy... I nkow my back will be killing me in the next two days! Ohhhh yeahhh How did the rest of you do???

Thanks hun
There's tons of support here. I'm sure you could follow the same weight routine & incorporate your own diet.
If you explain your equipment & start a log with your diet/routine/stats I'm sure you'll get lot's of help & motivation
Glad to have you here

 

[skittles]

Hmmmm I guess noone else is working out now???

Yeah, I'm still kickin' - as Shadow said I'm playing 'catch-up' It's hard when your fighting a cold, I don't want to over train etc.

Also, last night my tenant informed me that the snow plow hit the house & knocked all her pic's off the wall ....I can't see any marks on the house - so wtf???? Trying to figure a way to solve this

Anyway, I got a pm from Aly:

here ya go skittles... LEt all the girls and SHadow know that I won't be online until monday. I'm moving and my sympatico will be disconected very soon... I hope i can get to the ym durng this CRAZY time... if not I'll guess I'll be behind a week...
