Rach's Need2Slin and Training Log

[Rachel...lol]

I feel like it's Christmas - 2 Bottles of Gear and a Bottle of Need2Slin sitting right here on the table by me. Everything timing-wise is coming together great - second workout with trainer tonight also. So, here's my plan; please advise me guys of anything you think may be more beneficial. The Slin 4X a day is where I'm going to start, as it seems to be working well for others. 30 mins or so before consuming at least 20gs of carbs with meal, and #4 before bed. I am a little more uncertain about the most beneficial times to take the Gear - maybe 2 pre/post workout and as a supplement as needed with meals depending....Please pipe in if you'd like.

Alright - so today about 111 at the gym this morning 16-17% BF apx. My training is a little tricky -
Sunday 1 hour spin class
Monday OFF
Tuesday Teach 1/2 hr spin and 1/2 hr Body Pump at 6am. Train with Ann Marie at 5:30pm
Wednesday 1 hr Body Pump at 6:30pm
Thursday Same as Tuesday
Friday OFF
Saturday 2 hours of Body Pump in am.

After my workout tonight Ann Marie forbid me from doing any other working out aside from with her the 2 days a week and teaching my classes - which I am to go on the light side with weight. Excess cardio forbidden.

Workout tonight, was tough - but good, and a little different my normal workouts, which obviously is going to be to my benefit.

Reps X 15 no break:
Deadlifts w/30lb bar
Squats w/bar
Lunges (I call them static lunges - she call them... V squats?) w/bar
Forgive me on my explanation on the next couple:
Dumbbell rows in plank position on toes
Right into side plank w/shoulder press (w/dumbbells)
Pushups
Squat thrusts w/dumbbells
40 crunches of some sort
Jump rope X 100 (didn't skip a beat, didn't 'F up even once - haven't jumped rope in years)

Okay then same thing, reps X 12 - instead of rope, had to do the rowing machine for 300 Meters

Then everything again, reps X 10 - but ran 1/2 mile at 8miles an hour instead of rowing

Then she stretched me out - extra attention to my hips. I have problems with hips - broke my right one a few years ago.

Diet today -
1/2 cup kashi go lean w/ spash of milk
protein shake after gym
some almonds around 10:30ish when I was hungry
wrap w chicken and lettuce (no dressing, cheese or anything else - the wrap has 20g carbs, 9g protein, 12g fiber)
some sunflower seeds and raisins around 4ish
just had another wrap - but super loaded up with chicken - and some Gear

Hey everybody thanks for reading! Will be updating.

awesome rachel. you're already obviously in excellent physical condition. what are your goals with the new training regimen?

 

[Rachel...lol]

Ann Marie is going to train me as if I were going to get ready to compete Figure. When she was stretching me out yesterday, she said - you don't have any "weight" to lose, a little fat. We're going to transform your body. - E

I'm so excited for this!

Took my first slin about 6am today - ate Ezekiel 4:9 around 6:30....

Alright, Friday - let's do this.

Guys!!! I'm so freakin excited right now. I had to go to one of my gyms at lunch today because I forgot my nike's there. The fitness director was there and I had him check my bf with calipers - for a 7 pt I'm at 14.3, the 4 pt was 13.8 - and his handheld was 14.6. So - the pics I posted were just over 2 wks ago. The original caliper test I had done at 17.3 was about 3 weeks ago. Since that time I've locked in my diet and have been more consistent with my training. I know the numbers shouldn't matter, but I can't help it. I'm so pumped.

Oh - PS. Gear and Slin are sitting well.

This was done 4 times...

It felt okay, I felt strong enough. Another headache later in the day for the 3rd day in a row... feeling like I look bloated? In my head? I don't know.... Maybe I should cut back some carbs?
But why am I crashing with the headache? Any thoughts guys?
