T-Cake's 2006 Log

I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT -- we made it through a whole holiday without slinging insults and screaming!

Girlfriend, even if you had shoveled down a dozen big macs and just accomplished the above, I would have deemed your weekend a success. I am so so glad that you are repairing your relationship with your mother. I really wish I could do the same...but I haven't figured out the magic macros for that yet. My mom's birthday was this weekend and I sent her a gift and an email, but just couldn't deal with making an actual phone call. I just wasn't prepared to have my long weekend potentially ruined with direct contact...sigh!

Just read that you'll be at the Arnold in March. I am so looking forward to meeting you in person!

Mad love right back 'atcha, girl...can't wait to see the pics! Enjoy your day with the girlfriends

Thanks for all the sweet compliments Ducky, T, Bunz, ck, Jamie, GG and Roons! I wish I could figure out how to quote ALL of you in this reply, but I'm just not that good yet.

It was all a last-minute decision to tell her... she bought me clothes and wanted me to try some on while she was talking to me... but I didn't want her to see my incisions, so I had to tell her. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT -- we made it through a whole holiday without slinging insults and screaming!


Mad love, chicas, mad love.

First off you are welcome for the props girlie!!! I am jealous that you were able to make it through the whole holiday without all the family drama!!! Unfortunately I didn't, and what a headache that is/was!

Can't wait to meet you at the Arnold!

Hi ladies!

Thanks for all the props! x 12 to all!

I'm very excited to go to the Arnold and meet you all too! It's a cool surprise, so we'll have a good time regardless.

SO TODAY...

Just still relaxed with the diet.
- PWO ISO shake for breakfast
- Lunch: 2 softshell chicken tacos, 1 c. tortilla tomato broth soup, 1/4 c. beans, 1/4 c. rice
- Dinner: 1/2 seafood pizza with tomato sauce, basil, 1 slice bread, 1/2 c. salad with dressing
- Dessert: 1 c. NSA ice cream, 2 pudding cup sweetened with Splenda (Jello)

Workout
- Knees felt funny today -- started to run for about 3 minutes and my left one was bothering me, so I stopped. I am NOT going to let myself hurt my knees 2 weeks before my 1/2 marathon! I'm not crazy!
- So after I got off that treadmill, I ended up doing 45 minutes on the elliptical HIIT old-school style for me! (4 minutes on, 1 minute sprint, repeat)
- Did some declined abs with a 25# plate then went home.

So this was weird... I felt SO NAUSEOUS and dizzy when I left the gym... and it continued all the way home, in the shower, getting dressed, and then most of the afternoon.

All day I just felt sort of drunk, hungover sick... STRANGE.

So I talked to Ulter and we figured it out: RED MEAT!

I haven't eaten red meat in at least 6 months -- and here I had a huge steak yesterday AND the day before for the holidays... and I was sick sick sick!

Ugh. It was soooo to eat it... but made me feel Just ODD.

So yeah... no more red meat for me for a longggggg time. Body couldn't handle it.

So tomorrow I go back to Orlando. I miss Ulter, so I'm excited to see him.

I've really enjoyed posting more this week; I hope I still have the time when I go back to work. Goodnight!

Drama and the holidays?!?


Can't wait to see ya at the Arnold chica! Have a safe flight back home!

 

[T-Cake]

Thanks, T

I made it back to Orlando safe and sound. About to head to bed, but it's good to be back. I'll post tomorrow for sure especially since my workout will surely be extensive and something to talk about.

Goodnight!

I am so very happy for you and how well your life has turned around for you. And I am so glad that you had no holiday drama! I know what a drain that can be emotionally and physically.

I hope you have a very wonderful new year and good luck with your marathon!

Thank you! That's really sweet of you. I was also really happy to get through that last weekend without too many problems.

Workout Today: Lower Body
Decided to kill my legs today... haven't trained them in a longggg time! Bring on the soreness and the pain meds!

Leg Press
1. Sled + 90# x 10
2. Sled + 110# x 10
3. Sled + 130# x 10

Good Mornings
1. Squat rack bar + 40# x 10 -- Felt my form could be better so I lowered the weights
2. Squat rack bar + 35# x 10
3. Same as set 2

Leg Extensions
1. 55# ea. leg x 9
2. Same as 1
3. 50# ea. leg x 10 -- Dropped the weight to do more reps; my quads were on FIRE!

Leg Curls
1. 50# ea. leg x 10 -- 55s were too hard on my knees
2. same
3. same

Dead Lifts
1. 60# curl bar x 10
2. 70# curl bar x 10
3. 80# curl bar x 10 -- These felt great, so I'll try to steal the squat rack bar and plates from someone next time.

I felt pretty darn good, though SORE! Came home and took a bath to soak the legs and then took 3 Aleve, so hopefully I'm not too sore tomorrow! I have a feeling Ulter will make me take some Taurine too... which i wont' be opposed to because (though it doesn't taste the best) it works EVERY TIME -- darnit when he's right!)

CKC all the way! (That's the Cool Kids Club, btw. I founded it for myself... )

You crack me up! Let me know how to apply to be a member! And let me guess....all events will be catered by Panera

Niiiice leg workout....I'm actually bummed that I'm not feeling sore on my end. Thought I worked out my legs hard with a 5x8 routine last night, but apparently not hard enough. Will have to take pointers from you, Ms T-Cake.

Btw, saw an article in the new Self mag written by a formerly large person who has lost a lot of weight. Thought of you since it reasonated with so much of what you say here. You should check it out if you can!

Alright NICE workout!!! You left the step mill off though didn't you??? I think you mentioned finishing up with 30 minutes on there? SO how do you get in this CKC club anyways

 

[curgeo]

God I am so fucking proud of you for continuing with the Good Mornings. I remember how the bar was hard at first....

Thank you for stopping by the house and seeing Ben. He really loved you. You made my day. Michelle as you can tell was very excited too....I wish she would have been able to hang out with you when you still lived out here. Oh well, guess we will have to visit some more.

I am going to try and make the Arnold, but money is the issue right now. If we can find a place to stay cheap we just might make the trek.

Again, thank you for stopping by....I am just glad you didn't get into a wreck with that boat you were driving...
