Will2B's 2007 Log

[Will2BLean]

Alrighty, I've had enough slacking with the diet and cardio over the holidays, and it's the perfect time to kick it into high gear. Goals for this month include lots more cardio (compared to none, haha), only one cheat meal every two weeks (kinda just want to test out the old willpower), and no alcohol, except for maybe on the cheat meal days... Yep, you heard it right. Will2 is going alcohol-free this month. I'm tired of wanting abs, but only half-ass working for them. Yoga is getting thrown in the mix, and in addition to videos, I am going to start taking yoga classes with a co-worker mid January. I'm super excited.

I don't have stats right now. I'll take them on Friday to give myself plenty of time to rid myself of holiday "bloat". I plan to take them every Friday from here on out, but I'll probably just take pics every other week, maybe once a month. (is there a preference for seeing progress? is weekly too soon to actually see a difference?)

This week's meal plan:
M1: PWO shake, 1/2c shredded wheat
M2: 1c lowfat cottage cheese, 3oz carrots, 3 fish oil caps
M3: 3c baby spinach, 3oz. chicken, 2T light balsamic vinaigrette
M4: 1oz. peanuts
M5: PWO shake, 1/2c shredded wheat
M6: 1c green beans, 3oz. chicken
M7: 1T ANPB

Totals 1384
f: 46 (30%)
c: 118 (30%)
p: 138 (40%)


This week's workout plan:
Monday: Couch to 5k (starting w/ week 5), 30 minutes yoga
Tuesday: 20 minutes pilates (a.m.), weights - back, chest, calves - high reps (p.m.)
Wednesday: C25k (a.m.), 30 minutes yoga (p.m.), abs (p.m.)
Thursday: 20 minutes pilates (a.m.), HIIT (p.m.)
Friday: C25k (a.m.), weights - shoulders, biceps, triceps - high reps (p.m.)
Saturday: 45-60 minutes incline walk (a.m.), weights - legs - high reps (p.m.), abs
Sunday: 1 hr. pilates (a.m.), back, chest, calves - high reps (p.m.), HIIT (maybe)

Okay, so now it's all out there. It's a lot of cardio, but I want to make cardio a habit, not something I think about and dread doing. The long walk on Saturday is so that I will read a stupid textbook... the treadmill is one of my fav reading spots.

So, now it's all out there. Today is going to be a bit sporadic since I haven't done this week's grocery shopping yet. I had leftover pizza for breakfast, too. Way to start off the new year, right? LOL!

And... I think that's all for now. Oh, and also, as usual, any and all advice is welcomed and greatly appreciated.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!

 

[Gymgurl]

If you can read your not working hard enough.....lol....get some books on your Ipod...you can do it....Good luck with your goals...Im in the same boat with wanting the body but not working for it hard enough....Im right withya !!

 

[Will2BLean]

That's why I threw in the walking session on the treadmill... I don't read while running. LOL!!

 

[Jamie Lynn]

Can't wait to follow your journal.

Happy New Year!

[T-Cake]

Go, W2BL, Go!

I hear you on the cardio as a habit bit!

I began my "6-day-a-week-ON, 1 day per week OFF" cardio plan on Feb. 2, 2006 so it's been almost a year for me.

I dreaded getting up at 4:30am in the dead of winter before work in Michigan to workout... but I sucked it up and got through it. Now, I go a day without and can't stand it. I hear it takes up to 45 days for a habit to form... I know you can make it!

Also, C25K is a great program I hear. I never followed it to a T, but I went from a non-runner and now I'm doing a 1/2 marathon on Saturday. You'll be GREAT!

 

[Will2BLean]

Hey Jamie Lynn and CK!

T-Cake, that is amazing... truly inspiring. I've never followed the entire C25k, and I'm not starting from teh beginning of it, but I think week 5 will be a good, fairly easy, starting point for me. Good luck on your half-marathon!

Just curious as to why you are going to do such high reps.

 

[Will2BLean]

Just curious as to why you are going to do such high reps.

I dug up this workout from a workout log from when I was in college. I really liked it then, so I'm giving it another go. It may end up being too time consuming, though.

Depends what your rest is in between each set though, I did something pretty similiar this summer but only used a 30 sec rest between each set... it was a GREAT workout too I would leave sweating, and with heart rate up like I had just done an hour of cardio

Morning Will2!!! and subscribed!

That's why I loved it!! I would be drenched with sweat and I would feel like jello! I'm not sure how long my rest will be... however long it takes hubby to finish his set. lol

DANGIT! I meant to edit my original post not "Reply" to myself.

 

[*Bunny*]

You go girl! I love studying on the cardio equipment .. I cannot sit still and just read, nope lol. It's either elliptical or tread for me, but with the ellip I put it on full incline and I'll do intervals lol ...

Knock on wood, my cardio has never been counterproductive to my goals once I started eating for the activity I do (& training with weights).

Best wishes for you!!

and WOOHOO for no booze!!!

I used to do a daily "Day 1 no alcohol" to remind myself how awesome my progress was when kicking the booze habit .. maybe add that in to keep you focused? or not!

 

[sbt2082]

Oh well... its your log LOL you can do what you want!!!!
Nice workout glad you enjoyed the change of pace... I think I would've racked someone if they stepped over the bench while I was lifting

 

[jenscats5]

Heyyy Will2!! My gym was super crowded too!

 

[Roonytunes]

Niiiice plan....and I think I'll be going alcohol-free this month right alongside with you. From personal experience, I can definitely speak that for me, minimizing the cheat meals and drinking has really made the difference.

YAY! Another cardio reader. I've almost eaten the belt a couple times when I was reading and running... since then I have toned it down to walking! LOL!

I think I WILL use your "Day 1 no alcohol" thing. I may have a drink on my cheat day, but I will limit it to just a couple glasses of wine.

Oh well... its your log LOL you can do what you want!!!!

Well, it was pretty obvious that this guy was new. I just let it slide. We got a pretty big kick out of it actually! Now, the group of cackling 15 year old girls gallavanting around disrupting everyone... THAT was REALLY annoying. I hope they won't be there again. I don't mind people not knowing what they are doing, but people coming to the gym to just to goof off and flirt make me so mad.

Heyyy Will2!! My gym was super crowded too!

Eeew. It was so gross at ours. The windows were all fogged up and you could feel the moisture in the air from everyone's sweat. Even my notebook was a bit damp. Eeeewwwwwwy.

Niiiice plan....and I think I'll be going alcohol-free this month right alongside with you. From personal experience, I can definitely speak that for me, minimizing the cheat meals and drinking has really made the difference.

Heya, RT! We can go booze-free together then! I hope I see great results from it like you did!

What would you go back to school for???

 

[Will2BLean]

What would you go back to school for???

Oh, goodness, I've been going back and forth through SO many options. I've narrowed it down to getting a PharmD, becoming a registered dietitian, or (not through a university, but it's an option still) massotherapy. My head has been spinning for months because I just can't decide.

Hmmm well how much school do you want to go back through? Do you enjoy putting food and diets together? Are you in tune with your senses? Does money matter?

The cool thing about it is that you have options, someone once told me to just throw all my abitions in a hat, pick one and do it

 

[Will2BLean]

Hmmm well how much school do you want to go back through? Do you enjoy putting food and diets together? Are you in tune with your senses? Does money matter?

See, those are all questions I've been asking myself. The school part of the PharmD is what gets me... I mean, I like school, but the course schedule does not go with my current work schedule, and I don't know that I'm ready to give up a good (well, decent... pay sucks, benefits are good, people are nice, but it is not fulfilling at all) job for it at this point in my life. As for the RD, I do enjoy putting food and diets together... I really enjoy learning about food and diets, and I don't consider myself to know much about it now, but that's what school is for, right? I like putting my diet together and the number/macro aspect a LOT (I have a degree in Math & CS, so naturally numbers are my friend. lol). Plus, I think this would be a very fulfilling job! The pay isn't too great, but it's better than what I'm making now... and salaries are increasing pretty quickly w/ this field... oh, and it seems like there's plenty of room for growth with this. Massage therapy... honestly, this just sounds like fun. I do realize that it isn't a full-time job per say, but the idea of only working 20-30 hours a week sounds nice. The thing I don't like about it is the wear and tear it puts on your body, and it isn't a job you can do forever because of this.

Okay, wow, I'm rambling. School doesn't bother me, it's the idea of having to give up my current job to go... money is important, but not TOO important. As long as I can live comfortably and take a couple trips a year, I'm a happy camper. As for my senses... I think I'm aware of them... much more so than, say, your average person or people I know in "real life". lol

Okay, I'll shut up now.

Good luck with whatever one you decide on hun
I'm taking the registered dietician route myself

Thank you!
Really? I didn't know that! How are you liking it so far?

 

[*Bunny*]

Hey girl that's what a cheat day is for enjoy it

I cannot tell you how many people Ive met on EF that were on a similar path. I am on the same page with job unfulfilment.. my best advice to those who CAN make a change is to do it. Im here at least another 2.5 years unless I will the lottery or the kabash is put on health insurance & preexisting conditions. You WILL find your way. Nothing but + vibes your way will2.



saw this & thought of you, ONLY B/C YOUR AVI!!!

 

[Will2BLean]

CK, you sneaky little thing... I didn't even see your post. I'm scared shitless of doing that. That's how I ended up with my Math & CS degree... I just went with something easy (for me, anyways).

Thanks so much, Buns! I am eager to see what the ag department has to say about becoming an RD... and about the chunky dunk thing.. it's pretty accurate after my fat fest holiday season.

Congrats on the day three of both no alcohol or diet cokes! Keep it up!

 

[ck2006]

Bison rocks, and if you can keep that ratio perfect I am sooo copying you LOL.

 

[Will2BLean]

Thanks, ladies!!! No alcohol or sugar subs... I'm practically a new woman! LOL!!

ck, it's not putting the food into fitday and getting the ratios that I have problems with... it's me eating stuff that wasn't on my plan to begin with.

Hey W2BL! Regarding the above, I want to tell you from personal experience that if you are hungry, to just eat a little more, but keep it clean (protein + fat works well usually). Otherwise, somewhere or somehow, a breakdown will happen and you'll end up eating crap as a result. Just a word of warning

Nice job on the alcohol and diet coke ban I KNOW you can do it if you put your mind to it. It's all ultimately in the head.

I second this motion

 

[Will2BLean]

Thanks, T & RT! It's so hard to get out of the "don't eat" mentality when you're trying to lose BF... Good thing you gals are here to set me straight!

I'm going to bump my cals up to right below 12x my bodyweight, and I think I will pick up some Zone bars (or something similar) that are at about 100 cals for emergency use only.

I know not everyone is the same - but from your pics, you look like a leaner girl who could use some muscle definition which is similar to me. And I can tell you that for me, since mid-nov (almost 8 wks now) that I've been eating about 300-400 cals more per day. I haven't seen any real weight gain on the scale and instead I look tighter, have more energy, my lifting has improved and I have no desire to binge. When I am hungry, I'm very satisfied with a little bit of cottage cheese with some nuts (protein + fat).

The reason I may not have gained scale weight could also be because now that I'm eating properly to fuel myself with good foods, I no longer am tempted to do larger cheats etc. So basically before, I was eating 10-12x my bodyweight (which isn't a lot when you weigh what I do) and then screwing myself up with my weekly cheats. Now I eat 15x my bodyweight with clean and nutritionally dense foods and don't cheat unless I have to because some social situation absolutely calls for it.

I guess my point is don't be scared to eat a little more. Try it out for 2-3 weeks, see how it works out for you and then make the necessary changes....sure beats wanting to gnaw your limbs off!

I know not everyone is the same - but from your pics, you look like a leaner girl who could use some muscle definition which is similar to me. And I can tell you that for me, since mid-nov (almost 8 wks now) that I've been eating about 300-400 cals more per day. I haven't seen any real weight gain on the scale and instead I look tighter, have more energy, my lifting has improved and I have no desire to binge. When I am hungry, I'm very satisfied with a little bit of cottage cheese with some nuts (protein + fat).

I will try bumping my cals up by 100 every few days until I feel satisfied. Once I get to that point, I'll give it a go for a couple weeks to see what happens!

I think my pics may be deceiving, though. My stomach area is SO squishy! I had a waist once upon a time, and I want it back. LOL!

Keep us posted on how it goes! I bet you just another 200-300 cals will make you feel very different.

You post pics in a bikini, so I'm not sure how that could be all that deceiving! I swear we are each our own toughest critics!

Will2 great job, the log looks great, every part of it. Stick with it. You WILL make it through this weekend. You can do it.

Oh, you all will definitely know how it goes. I have this week's meal plan ready, and it's 150 cals up from last week's. I feel good about it, and it's still right under 12x my body weight, so it's not TOO frightening. hehehe

Yep, I post pics in a bikini, but pictures don't capture the jiggle motion.

Thanks! I FEEL like I can stick with it for once. I'm actually feeling quite empowered right about now... I declined cherry cordials AND carrot cake at work today, and when people asked why I wasn't eating it, I didn't even make up an excuse!

Good morning girl! I FINALLY was able to get up this morning and do push-ups. I did pike pushups and they were a great way to stretch out my back. I'm going to add some crunches as well. If nothing else, it just gets some blood to muscles first thing in the morning.

Your planned day looks good!

 

[Will2BLean]

Hey RT!! I didn't even get mine in this morning! They do feel good in the morning, though!... they're a lot tougher when your groggy, huh? hehe. What are pike pushups?

Thanks. I hope I can stick to it. Scratch that. I WILL stick to it today!

Pike push-ups: When you elevate your feet, stick your butt high up in the air and do push-ups. They hit the shoulders more. I did them off my bed

And YES, you WILL stick to it today...no ifs & no buts

[sbt2082]

Oooh! I'll have to try them one day! I'd probably fall on my face.

^^^ Yeah those Pike push-ups are KILLER!!! BUt I gotta tell you we had them in the plan the last cycle, and as much as I whined and griped bout them I think they really have helped my shoulder development! ANd I know ALLLL about the falling on the face problem too LOL we had them super setted with arnold db press, so they made your shoulders toast

ANd like Roony said, YOU WILL stick to that diet

 

[The Shadow]

Im still trying to figure out how you do a pike from a bed WITH THE booty elavated.

You might as well do a standing on the head hand press

those do work but most folks have over developed anterior delts in relation to side and posteriors

 

[Roonytunes]

Im still trying to figure out how you do a pike from a bed WITH THE booty elavated.

It's all about the bed...I have a cool bed In all seriousness, it's about the height of the bed. I have one of those lower mod beds. They don't call me the fashionista for nothin'

I've been having the awfullest time trying to get to sleep at night this week. Could it be my last meal? Nothing else has really changed.

Anyways, I hope everyone is having a happy hump day! I hope mine slows down a bit.

 

[The Shadow]

diet is very tight

the cottage cheese is high in calcium and phosphorous.....it can affect "alertness" in some folks....as well as make them slightly jittery

Could be possible

 

[sbt2082]

Nice goals today there hun!!! You're sillllllllllly!
Anyways, hope today slows down for you and that you are able to get some rest tonight!

Hmmm. Interesting... learn something new every day... especially around here.

I'll switch the shake in M5 with the cottage cheese today to see if it makes a difference.

You could also try just switching out the carrots for some type of fat instead, like 1 tbl of PB or maybe a 1/2 oz almonds or something like that? SInce carrots are higher in sugars then other veggies and stuff...

That's what I was actually suspicious about to being with. I didn't have a clue about the cottage cheese, though! I'll have to suck it up for a couple days, since I have all my food prepped for the work week. Next week I am DEFINITELY going back to ANPB for my last meal.

Yup I used to have cottage cheese and ANPB for my last meal every single night It was pretty tasty all mixed together, especailly if you whipped the cottage cheese first, made it kinda like a mousse

I agree with the duckie on this one. My last meal has been cc & nuts for a while. Casein protein along with a fat is really good as a last meal because it slows down the digestion of protein when you sleep.

 

[Will2BLean]

Thanks sbt and RT! I'll play with it a bit. I'm sure I'll find something that works! (haha, all this thinking, and what if it's not even my meal keeping me up? )

 

[Will2BLean]

Wooo. I ate my cottage cheese PWO and just got to my shake about 15 minutes ago. I think that was it, because I am SLEEPY! Thank GOODNESS!

This week I have noticed that (1) I am less bloated by the evening if I don't eat cottage cheese in my earlier meals. I may just take it out of my diet completely... I think I'll do egg whites next week. I don't want to eat any more chicken or protein shakes than I'm already having; and (2) my butt seems flabbier/flatter. I haven't been doing any cardio, I've been doing high reps, and I haven't been doing squats. I know it's only been a week, hopefully it's just my imagination, but I'm going to keep an eye on it.

Oh, and about progress pics... would it be better to do them once every 2 weeks than once every week?

It's almost the weekend! Have a great day everyone!

Me too! I don't like buying work clothes, so I only have a few pair of pants to wear. I'll just have to waddle around work and hope they don't split!

Thanks!
I'll probably drink on my cheat day, though. ... can't have wings without beer.

Hey, babe! Thanks! I usually get stuck right around here, though. I'll get it figured out sooner or later, though.

I think I will do another BF check this weekend... I haven't decided about progress pics yet, though. I'll have to see if I can find my battery charger, too. Somehow I lost track of it on New Years. lol

It's good to see you posting!

It was about time, I wasn't ignoring you, really! I've been spending too much time roaming the site I guess. I bet your BF will be down a good bit, so give it a shot. Are you still aiming for 13%? That's about where I am after the break, but I've been working hard to get it back to 12.

Suuuuuuure you weren't ignoring me. (kidding, of course! ) Our daily chit chats were all a cover up. LOL!!!

I haven't set a BF goal this year. It didn't even cross my mind. I should, though. Hmmm. Maybe 15% would be a good goal for January... baby steps.

13%, you say? That's a wee bit better than what you thought! WOO HOO.
