I did continue my exercise program! I was really good, did cardio almost every day (except Leg days) and GP gave me all my WOs beforehand to follow while I was away. He's such a nice guy.
You are welcome to follow my meal plans, I pretty much eat exactly what GP recommends..... with an occasional glass of red wine!! Thanks for the encouragement!!

I see you have quite a variety of great foods sapphire! Certainly you should never get bored of them!

Do you workout in a gym or at home?

Tired legs? You know what they say about achy legs? Hot steamy shower/bath followed by leg elevations. J/K about the leg elevations!

Hey David!

I guess I try to eat a wide variety of foods, but I get teased ALL the time by family and friends about how strict I try to be! They are so mean!! But they are fat (heehee), can't say that to them though...

Just joined World Gym last week and have gone there a few time already. I really like working out there rather than home because everyone is so nice and have similar goals. I also have lot of good home equipment for when I can't get out.

The hot steamy shower and evalated legs sound like an awesome idea to me!! And don't worry about offending me with sexual references, I LOVE sex. Best cardio in the world!!




Posted by: david

Oh cool! World's Gym. My second favorite gym. Oh, I see your near the city!!!

Gee, your not far from gopro.....

So what do you do that sometimes time disallows you to go to the World's gym and workout at home? What type of equipment do you have at home?

I know you already have a cardio mechanism (hubby) so what other pieces do you have.

I couldn't live in your area anymore because I'd shoot over to New Haven, CT for pizza every weekend!

Yeah I like the World Gym too! GoPro and I live about 10 minutes away from each other! I have been to his studio to pick up fat burners and to pay him. His studio is 5 minutes away from me!

I think now it would be only out of laziness that I would have to work out at home, but I have great equipment I have a universal type weight machine, leg press, squat rack, barbells and free weights.

Yeah my hubby is my most fun cardio...

BUT I have a treadmill, lifecycle bike and rowing machine. I really prefer to do stuff outside though. I run in races, mountain and on the road bike, hike, rock climb etc.... I am taking a spinning class tommorow night and I want to start swimming. I think I may try a triathalon next year.
How about you??? What do you do to workout???

Oh and MMMMMM PIZZA!! I won't give that up!!! But only on a cheat weekend day!!

Cool! Hmmnnn.... what type of supplements did he suggest!?! Just curious. VPX??

Wow, very cool! Is it in a basement, seperate room? Climate controlled? I ask this bc/ I can NEVER workout in a cold environment!

Spinning is so awesome! I love our spinning room here in Florida bc/ it's dark with illuminations, disco ball, laser lights etc. Oh and very loud kick ass music! Spinning is a GREAT workout in my opinion!!!! Swimming on occassions is a very excellent workout! I believe it burns more calories than any cadio type exercise! Great for the back!!!!!!

How about you??? What do you do to workout???
[b]I don't workout. I'm a clown... didn't you know that, yet? I workout at Gold's Gym here in S. Florida! Have you not followed my Victim thread in the online journal? I have a few client's that I weight train. It includes, cardio such as spinning and kickboxing!
So, the sessions can last up to 2 1/2 hours!!!
For pictures of me and my gym... go to this thread and don't be scared, ok? My pics are either on page 2, 3 or 4.
http://www.ironmagazineforums.com/sh...046#post362046

I apologize now for my vulgarities and outspokeness within that thread!!!

Anyhoo, also, check out pictures of the gym itself... www.goldsgymsunrise.com

Have a great night Sapphire and I'm glad I'm getting to know a little more about you!

Hmmmnn... add 75 degree's more heat bumping it to 90 degrees, lights out and flashing though, loud music and me! You'd last 15 mins!! No, I think you would do good in my class!!!


Talk tommorow Monster!!!!
Monster......... LOL!



Posted by: Sapphire

Holy CRAP!! 6'1 and 300 pds!! Noooo that's not big... that's HUGE!!!!!! I am 5'7 ish and weigh 123!! You could bench press 3 of me at one time!!!

I would love to try out your spinning class! I think I could do it! I have good endurance. The heat is another story! It was warm in the class, but not 90 degrees!!

I have no idea about supplements really!!!! They sounded like steroids to me, but what do I know??? I just follow my instructions from GP......

There were a lot of muscle heads in the weight room last night. I am going to be intimidated working out with my 20 lb dumbells while they are lifting 75 lb ones!!

I don't weight that all the time but during bulk up ... yes! I'll rpobably shed off to 265 and hopefully less!

I would love to try out your spinning class! I think I could do it! I have good endurance. The heat is another story! It was warm in the class, but not 90 degrees!!
Oh, I know you can take the heat!!!! Those in the class seemed to usually do! Sometimes we carry 3 bottles of water. 2 for our 110 min session and 1 to wear when it's really hot and were climbing hills and doing jumps!

There were a lot of muscle heads in the weight room last night. I am going to be intimidated working out with my 20 lb dumbells while they are lifting 75 lb ones!!
Would it shock you to know that when I don't lift heavy and I increase in reps, I'm using 25 lbs DB's?? Don't let them intimidate you!

Talk later MONSTER!!!!!
I'm going to have to come up for a name for you!!!



Posted by: Sapphire

265 is still pretty darn big!!! That's great !!
I have a small build and I have a hard time putting on muscle.... But I definitely have gotten more definition and tightened up .... and I have only been working with GP for 4 monthes. So I know I have to be patient...

I needed 2 bottle of water last night for the spinning class and it was only 60 minutes!! Your spinning class sounds like more fun, I love the dark and the disco ball, sounds exciting. We didn't do any jumping!! What's up with that!?

OK I will try to not be intimidated by the big guys like you!! If I feel intimidated I will try to remember what you said about sometimes using lighter weights.... maybe that will help
I will let you know how I do tonight... I want to try to use the cables, but I don't really know how to.... Hopefully there will be a trainer there to help me!!

UPDATE I went to the gym and it was fine!! Everyone was nice, a couple of guys showed me how to use some of the equipment I was having trouble with... Trainers were walking around looking to help if anyone needed it.
OK Monster (and I mean that in the nicest way).... I am waiting to hear MY name......

It's a blast and bc/ it's dark in there! When you need to cheat..... you can!!! No Jumping?? But you did climb simulations, didn't you? Is it a female or male instructor. Women more concentrate on Jumps/climbs.... for the exception of me. I do torture!!!

OK I will try to not be intimidated by the big guys like you!! If I feel intimidated I will try to remember what you said about sometimes using lighter weights.... maybe that will help

Damn, I wish I was there because I train enthusiast for free!!!! And you would more than qualifiable to fall into that category!!

Hey Monster!!
I am 5'7 123 pds and yes I took before pictures. I was never fat, just wanted to be more sculpted, tight and muscular. I definitely have lost BF and am tighter.. BUT I WANT MORE!!! It was my diet that needed the most work, GP really overhauled what I eat. He's the best!

Yeah NO JUMPING!!! It was a male instructor, we did alot of simulated climbing.. but your class sounds so much BETTER!

You have no idea how much I wished you lived up here to help me in the gym, if you were with me, Monster, maybe I wouldn't feel so intimidated!! I did legs today, it was fun!! But now I feel all wobbly.... (funny word)

What do you do for a living or are you a full time trainer??

STILL WAITING......

I, for some reason knew you were never fat, also! LMAO! So your looking for the ideal-healthy looking bod, are you? Then, in time, you shall have it and I can't wait for your final results! Stay with it, ok?

Yeah NO JUMPING!!! It was a male instructor, we did alot of simulated climbing.. but your class sounds so much BETTER!
For spinning, I only private teach with my clients.... for their one on one training. But what I'll do is calling clients 3 and 4 in to join in! Smart thinking, huh? I make sure that at least 2 out of the three are just doing cardio that day only and the one who is doing wieghts that same day are NOT doing legs!

You have no idea how much I wished you lived up here to help me in the gym, if you were with me, Monster, maybe I wouldn't feel so intimidated!! I did legs today, it was fun!! But now I feel all wobbly.... (funny word)
Well, maybe I could swing your way this fall but if we make plans, don't you dare blow me off! Don't worry, I'll just go eat a pizza in New Haven if you do! Actually, I'll go visit my actor friend in NY and all of my old buddies in Manhattan. Gee, I hope I can behave better this time around! I would have loved to train you. I wonder if I could kee p a straight face though bc/ somehow I know we can get along too well! I guess that's is a good thing! Wobbly??? Hmmn... exactly what kind of squats were you doing?? Is it combined with cardio??

What do you do for a living or are you a full time trainer??
[b]Would you believe me if I told you I'm not a FT trainer?? I'm a juggler I guess you could say. (and J'bo, if your readintg this... no I'm not a clown either! ) OK, here's the gist. I work at Nextel in the repair center and my job duties mainly are repair ie. solder, build, software programming.
Also, I go to school at New Horizons's www.newhorizons.com for MCSE. Should be done ine a few months! and yes, I part time train, too! 2 are paid clients and one is my entusiast aka Guinea pig! [b]

STILL WAITING......

Darn... I guess, Ill need to know you better or maybe someday you'll post a picture of yourself or email if you don't want everyone to see and surely, I will give you a "lovely" nickname.

Are you going to start posting your workouts more?

We would definitely get along GREAT!!!! We could study for our tests while you trained with me!

I will have to ask GP if he wants me to post my WOs.... after all I am paying him for them!!! And if I post them, he might lose business... I wouldn't want to do that to my awesome coach!!

If you come to NY, we could definitely meet up for a drink or two....strictly as computer geeks/muscle heads though... Hubby would definitely be jealous of YOU!!!

I don't really want to post pictures of myself on the web, I trust YOU, but there are a lot of wackos out there!! We'll see, maybe I can email you some pics.... no nudies though!!

I think my legs were just wobbly from the weight WO, I didn't do cardio last night. I did a lot of weight for me though!

Talk later Monster/ fellow computer geek!!! That's so cool!! A 6 foot 265 pd computer nerd!!! Don't see too many of them!!

That is quite funny! Check your pm's in regards to Nextel!!! That is so cool that we have that similar interest in regards to computers!!! I hear you on that part of Certificattions and outside jobs! Disgusting, isn't it? But it will pay off for the both of us!

Oh no... I didn't realize that you were under Gopro like that! No-no, then I wouldn't want to jeapordize that with you and he. I'm cool... but I was curious as to why you never posted it! Aren't you going to miss your coach now?? Look who he is STUCK with NOW!! ME!!!!! Poor, Gopro!!! LMAO!!!! You know he know lives 20 mins away from me, don't you? There is a difference though, sweetie! Year around I can go visit him driving with my top down.... unless it rains! Oh, screw it! I don't melt! Top down during the hurricane!

If you come to NY, we could definitely meet up for a drink or two....strictly as computer geeks/muscle heads though... Hubby would definitely be jealous of YOU!!!
Geeze Louise!!! What do you think I am? A home wrecker? It would be nothing but food and drinks. I may not drink though. Do you believe me? Seriously... I probably won't drink but I won't give up food though! Oh, your husband has NOTHING to be jealous of about me... shouldn't I be jealous of him... he has you! That should win me some more points with you!

I don't really want to post pictures of myself on the web, I trust YOU, but there are a lot of wackos out there!! We'll see, maybe I can email you some pics.... no nudies though!!
I can certainly understand where your coming from on this but it is your choice. No pressure. I'll just go ask Gopro!!!!

I think my legs were just wobbly from the weight WO, I didn't do cardio last night.
No cardio!!!

Hey David!

I knew GP was moving to Florida, but I didn't know exactly where!! That's cool for you that he's moving so close to you, as for me, he is still gonna be my Cyber coach. I only met him a few times in person anyway..... He's a monster too!!
Also very sweet guy..... you can ask him anything you want about me....

That is definitely why I don't post my WOs, if people want GP as a trainer, let them pay him!!! I DO!!!!

So it's a deal then!! When you come to NY we will go out for dinner!! Sounds like fun!

I am off to the gym now!! Upper body and cardio today!!!

Thanks for the nextel info in my post... I will write you back when I get home!!
Bye Monster!!!

[b]No, I will ask him just a few questions.... just enough to get you your suitable nickname. Although, when I finally meet you in NYC or in NY, I could have a nickname for you after the fact.

What else is on the agenda...b etter yet, what other things do you like to do on your lovely days off? PS. Cardio does NOT count although lovely!

Bye Monster!!!
Monster...... Just you wait till' I get your nickname!



Posted by: Sapphire

Hmm.. so Monster... I like to do a lot of things... I like to bike (mountain and on the road), hike, run and walk on the beach (love the beach), hang out with my girlfriends (love my friends), play with my puppy (I don't have kids), read good scarey books, watch old movies. I crave excitement, so I will try anything if it sounds fun. I have a 70 mile bike tour next Sat. and I am going rock climbing Sunday. How about you??? What do you like to do?

I am interested in hearing how GP describes me.... I guess I will be able to tell by my nickname!!

Gym was good!! God, are all trainers freaking gorgeous??? I felt like a kid in a candy store!! Very helpful too!!

Going out to visit friends today, will chat more tommorow!!

Wow! That was definitely a can of worms, there!
Hmmnn... my interest?

Besides anything related to the gym.

* Music- guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals.
- I have a degree in Audio Engineering/Video and music business.
(Someday I will return back into the fashion but it's a long story why I am not currently)

* Cooking- I used to do culinary arts too! Worked in restaurants!
Favs: Italian, Chinese and Mexican

*Basketball & Martial Arts

* Entertainments.... mostly anything! Movies, concerts, sports, Broadways

* Traveling- List to long to do so I will leave it that to where I've been!

I'm sure there is much more but I don't want to be too long winded, here!


I am interested in hearing how GP describes me.... I guess I will be able to tell by my nickname!!
I'm sure he has nothing but good words for you!

Gym was good!! God, are all trainers freaking gorgeous??? I felt like a kid in a candy store!! Very helpful too!!
Good thing I'm not trainer there bc/ I would be the ugliest-meanest one there!

Is it raining there???
Rains everyday but for like only 30 mins or less... sometimes an hour, though!

Posted by: Sapphire

Hey TB

First thing.. you are NOT ugly, maybe mean, but definitely not ugly!!!

Sounds like music is your thing, that's cool. I have absolutely no musical ability at all!! I love to sing, but NOBODY wants to hear it! LOL

I started to read your journal, you are tough on your client, huh? I hope you wouldn't be so mean to me!!

I am going to the Gym today to work on LB.. ugghhh, very painful. Spinning is tommorow.

Why do you want to be saved from your life?? What's the trouble TB?? Can I help?

I could never be mean to you like that in a training session. The best thing I do is train before him, let the pain set in for me and they yell at him when he starts acting like a sissy! Well, the client is actually paying me to train him boot camp style so... I am not going to let it up on the intensity! However, the freak is trying to lay low on me and hide so I called and left a message with him asking to talk to me on what he wants now. It's funny bc/ my boot camp style training was coming to an end this week and that I was going to drop the weight on him and let him train with higher reps in a few weeks. It's getting real hard though with him bc/ he's not eating 5 meals a day or really anything .... so he claims! Anyway, I think it's starting to drive me nutty bc/ the work he's putting into training is like two opposite directions. At least I can say that he's not putting on fat and eating pizza and pasta. That's a relief. I think I need a reorganization which probably leads to the last post of that journal in which you inquired with a question. That is what's wrong at the moment.

I am going to the Gym today to work on LB.. ugghhh, very painful. Spinning is tommorow.
What is LB? Lower Back?? Sorry, I have like no brains cells and my chest is screaming from my workout today!!! I'm so glad that you enjoy spinning! That is so awesome! I literally watch this girl drop her BF totally from spinning and she did it 3x a week! She was meticulous with her diet and wham-O! What a hot ass she has and great legs all from spinning! Now she's a HUGE tease!

Well, I hope you have a great night and and get some great sleep while the weekend last. Don't forget your cardio tonight!

Thanks TB!! You should tell GP what a great coach he is!! Thanks again I really love spinning. The instructor pulled me aside after the class ended and told me he thinks I should try his 2 hour nightmare... GP thinks I do too much cardio already... so I have an excuse!!!


I was feeling a bit dizzy tonight, but that happened before I went spinning......



Posted by: david

You know it's funny you mention that! While in the middle of my cardio (bike) (unfortunately not spinning, though) I lost all track, got off the bike because I was distracted by this hottie... and she had me walking out of the gym and then outside and down the street. I walked back with her in a hot conversation... I swear, that was so much better cardio than on the bike. (talking to her)
Funny thing is, the woman I was speaking to left her keys in the ignition while working out! Do you think the lady was hot for me because she left her keys in the ignition or was she just absent minded?

Hmmm... I am not sure.... were you talking to her in a way that would make her THAT hot that she would leave her keys in the ignition? If so... she HAD BETTER be the girl you are referring to in your quote.

Breakfast in general for most people (except for those who don't care about their health) is bland!

Here are two choices to spice up your breakfast every blue moon. I like doing this when I have a long cardio session....

Scenario 1- You can go have an awesome breakfast with Hubby, family or Friend.... Order pancakes, French Toast, Sausage, bacon and home fries in a nice restaurant..

Scenario 2- BREAKFAST IN BED! Pick either French Toast or Pancake.......... maple syrup on the side. And, how about some strawberries and whipped cream.

Maybe afterwards, find a place for chocolate syrup to put on something!


Meal 2
small can of tuna.. yummy! NOT
That's all?? My god, Birds eat more than that!!!!!!

Meal 3
Fat burner
salad with chicken, tomaotoes peppers and onions
Now your talking! I can deal with this meal! I'm jonesing for Chx Caesar (low fat and just a dab of dressing) salad minus the croutons!!

Meal 4
Protein shake with almonds

Meal 5
fat burner
BIG egg white omelet with onions and fat free cheese
How many eggs is "big"?

Hope you have/had (by the time you get this) a wonderful 4th of July... you and your family!!!

I'll try to get back online soon, sometime to keep up with your journal.

PS. I'd choose Scenario #2!! French Toast on wheat using 1 yoke and 4 egg whites...

Hey Dave!!
Happy 4th of July to you too!!! You know what's funny?? I love chocolate syrup and in bed... hmm that brings alot of interesting thoughts to mind!

I actually used a whole container of liquid egg whites to make my omelette.. its supposedly 8 servings!!! I was stuffed right after but hungry again an hour later... sorta like chinese food I guess!

Here's what my grandmother and my mother would say to those who don't like certain food items of the obvious!!

Quote: "I don't like French Toast"

My Grandmother says: You like Eggs don't you?
My mother would say: "yes he does!" and he likes bread, too!
My grandmother then would say: "you like your bread toasted, don't you?"
My mother would speak again before me being able to say anthing: "He like both of them... Just eat your breakfast, DAVID and give me this evil look like I was being a "Brat" of something...


Now, when you said that... that's what I'm thinking!!!!

LMAO!!!! rofl:

I can imagine you being tired.... pls give your body a break from cardio in partcular, spinning! I have some cardio tips if you need them besides Spinning..........
Hey Dave!!

My fat burners are ephedra and caffeine free.... GP says I can take them for a few monthes without a break......

And hmmm what does almond butter taste like?? It's DELICIOUS! It's smoother and a little sweeter tasting than natural peanut butter. I LOVE it!! You should try it.


I went spinnign today.. and my freaking legs are sooo sore, actually from the weight workout yesterday.. My butt is sore from the spinning!!! Ouchie!!!!

And what are those cardio tips you are referring to?????? Do they involve working out with a partner????

When you ask "you have one of those in your life?" Did you mean a pizza or a rest day???

If you meant pizza I would say Yes once in a while!! I love pizza!! If you meant rest day I would say "Yes Friday is really my only rest day" NO CARDIO or WEIGHTS!!! as per GP... not more than 3 hours cardio each week! I have spinning tommorow, Sunday and Monday. I think I may slip in an extra hour on Thursday... I think I am safe GP doesn't read my journal.

How about u?? No rest days for the TB???

Not Pizza but rest day... but pizza does sound like a good idea. Has to be much better than turkey/egg white combo!

What about Saturday? (workout)

Rest day for me? Never! I wished! Maybe when I see "my new love" I will learn what rest "away" from the gym means and then..............

Ummmnnn.... that combo regardless whatever you add to this could NOT possibly make the taste any better! I can't think of any condiment in this world that could spice up this meal!

Ya think so? I DO have a LOT of things in life to learn and what no better to learn from my special woman. I certainly can't complain! I'll let her know you said this, Sapph and see if she can "live" up to her word! This outta be good! You know, Sapph, if she ever knew you were instigating.... !!!
