A slim Down

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok everyone has probably thought I dropped off the face of the earth but I got rid of my cable internet and so am using Darren's AOL and have dial up so I am not on the comp nearly as much anymore, trying to save some cash. But I am not competing, just working out, doing legs like maybe once every three weeks, they are just so damn big, and so am focusing on upper body work with sets of 10-12 and doing some running every other day with the elliptical thrown in on the off running days, so as to not destroy my joints, plus at this weight I can not run as much as I used to.

So I have been watching what I eat, not counting every little thing, mainly just the carb intake, I have been averaging between 40-75g per day depending on what I am doing like running days are higher carb or non running is lower, just on how I feel. I went to the doc and got weighed at 139 in the beginning of the month and am down to 134 or less, which is good for me, plyus I know don't look at the scale but my clothes are getting looser also which is good for me.

However today, am holding a ton of water since uit is that of the month in a week and it was my birthday on Friday so Saturday i had one brownie and two pieces of cake. Then yesterday I had 5 hot wings and two stuffed mushrooms, I know such a bad cheat.

Also I got a pilates DVD for my birthday so I am going to try and incorporate that in everynight or morning to help center me and work on my flexibilty and core strength. Just for something new. So I don't have a set workout schedule just rotate through the body parts and do cardio post workout for 20-45 minutes depending on how i feel.

Ok so i need to not be so afreaid of cheats and food so i am making myself do a cheat today, bec ause i have found after i cheat i lose more, so i am thinking i will do a cheat day every other week, plus especially around that time of the month.;

Posted by: shortstuff

so I just had some french fries, some soy ice cream and some skittles, maybe some chinese later but i am ready for a nap now. I am being smart and eating things that don't fuq up my stomach, so that means no diary and not too much fat.

time to brush my teeth. I need to remind myself it is not all fat i gain it is all water, so i chugged some dandelion root before and will keep taking it so i don't blow up like a baloon. Oh and I took my ala.

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok so after that I had a medium thin crust pizza and now today I am super tight and since I took my dandelion root am not holding a ton of water, so I am totally cheating more often

Today will be chest and 45 minutes of cardio

Posted by: atherjen

cheating more often eh! now now dont let it get out of hand! lol jk
how much dandelion root did you take?

have an awesome workout today! all that yummy food should help you to kick some butt in the gym!

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok you are totally going to laugh, I only did cardio today, have midterms tomorrow so needed to study but I am so not cheating now for at least a month, just around when that time of the month comes cause that is when i need it the most.

I am so pumped and water logged today but ahve been doing dandelion root, about 500-1000mg every couple of hours to try and get rid of the water, looks like tomorrow will be a good day for some running and a kick butt chest workout

Morning Shorty! Sounds like your doing great!! I had a cheat also this weekend--and now Feel like I'm ready to go for awhile without one..
What is that stuff you took---the dandelion root?? What is that??

Posted by: shortstuff

It helps reduce water retention, I knew I would feel like a blimp after all thaT food, and I still do, plus flow should be here in the next few days so I am trying to offset all this dang water. Which I am sooooo pumped still from all that food on Saturday and then the water retention cause flow is coming, I feel like a huge FAT ASS!!!!!

Posted by: Stacey

cooooooooool girl!!!!

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok I have been without Redline for two days now and I am having a hrd time functioning, major withdrawls, so am pounding down the green tea to try and offset the caffeine withdrawl

Posted by: Jenny

Hey honey

Mmm, sounds like a yummy cheat this weekend

I'm glad you enjoyed it

I'm scared of going without my thermo as well. I ordered some more a few weeks ago and it hasn't arrived yet

Tomorrow I'll have my last one from the old bottle.. I'm going to be cranky and moody and even more tired the days after that

But taking breaks from them is only good

Have a great day sweets

Posted by: shortstuff

I know I am going to go a month without it, give my body a break, but I hate these withdrawls!!!!!!

Oh and if you have have never had a massage or anyone else who reads this for that matter you have to do it, and acupuncture, I swear by it now, I feel a million times better after my hour

this looks and sounds familiar!!

I was on my way to the Grove when you told me this!!

Definitely no regrets!!! Everyone needs to live from time to time!!! I think I should try this next weekend!

I wonder if Katie will go for this!!

Take care sweetie and I'll try to drop in more often!

Posted by: shortstuff

You crack me up Dave and I will talk to you more if you promise not to hang up on me!!!!!

Oh and I am having major withdrawls from the Redline

I am going to go a month without and see how I do, my strength was awful today so lets hope it gets better soon. Oh and I am starting morning cardio tomorrow, so wish me luck.

Posted by: atherjen

good luck hun! I HATE morning cardio... but if I must do it then its the best time, get it out of the way for the day.. ughh

Posted by: Jenny

I used to have problems motivating myself for morning cardio too, but these days I'm loving it. Long powerwalks is what works for me, it gives me some time for reflection and gives me a peace inside and gets me ready for the day ahead

I had a running kick earlier last summer, but it didn't last very long

Spinning is great too

Im big on more spinning too. used to do sprints at the break of dawn before school too.. that was during my basketball years. the morning is an AWESOME time to just relax.. the rest of the day feels less stressful for some reason eh.
now if only it was 40 degrees warmer here and not so dreary outside!

Posted by: shortstuff

I just could not get p this morning, will try tomorrow but I think my body needed the sleep since I have been so stressed over midterms. Plus I want to run to day and I hate to run with nothing in my tummy, I just feel so weak. I like to run like 3-5 miles and with no food in tummy is hard to do. But I promise and you can all kick my butt if I do not get up tomorrow. I promise I will.

Posted by: atherjen

did I hear u say PROMISE!

haha
Im glad u listened to your body. thats what I have been doing. wayyy overslept yestarday and today I feel great..
ughh I could never run that far with no food either. even when I was doing sprints in the morning I had to get some food in me! if not Id be roadkill! lol

Posted by: Stacey

Hey sweetie!! I hear ya on running with an empty tummy!! I like to run in the evening time before Dinner-- but after I have eaten some carbs to keep me going.

Have a great day--stay warm!

Posted by: shortstuff

My fav time to run has always been right after the sun comes up or midafternoon around 2pm, I feel just feel so awake and alive at that time. Ok am having a major fat day, plus flow started so all I really want to do is sleep today

Posted by: J'Bo

3oz

thats for babies

Posted by: shortstuff

I know I know I know the lecture I am going to get, I am just trying to keep it cool on the carbs after my wild day on Saturday and then to hope for no more bloating, I am bloated like a baloon due to PMS.

Posted by: ncgirl21

Do you just take dandelion root on your cheat days or do you take it everyday

?

I wish I had to "make" myself cheat!!!

Posted by: shortstuff

Oh and don't worry it usually end up being more like 4-5oz LOL

Posted by: shortstuff

I take it when I cheat and during that tme of the month to try and cut down on the water retention cause I hold more water then a water balloon during that time of the month.

Posted by: ncgirl21

How many do you take?

I could definatly use some now, I'm holding sooo much water!

Posted by: shortstuff

I take 500-1000mg 3-4 times a day about 30 minutes before you eat. Make you drink plenty of water so you can flush everything out.

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok I think I only missed 2-3 question on my test now off to the gym then at school the rest of night

AND IT IS SUNNY!!!!!!!!!!! SO I AM DANCING!!!!!!!!!!

Very funny, SS!

I didn't hang up on you, the TOWER did!

No REDLINE??

Just kidding. Well, definitely try a month wt/ it and see. A good cleanse of everything might do your body good!

Drink coffee?? Morning cardio only will alter your energy throughout the day as long as your caloric intake is where it should be. Where is it anyway?

So luck you shall have it and of course I'm always wondering how my lil' Pammie is doing! But I need not to worry because your way on track and I know you're doing really well for yourself, too!

Have a great day!

Aww honey, I'm sorry you can't be together

Isn't there any possibilities for you to transfer there ?? Or him working where you are?? It shouldn't be impossible

I think it's a bit weird that he still talks to his ex and lies about you not being there.. What did he say when you talked to him about it?

I hope you're having a good weekend dispite all of this

We're all here for you

Posted by: J'Bo

Hey Shorty.

I was in that situation before and i made the mistake of letting it go without saying anything.
If i were you...tell him that you dont like him talking to her and ask him to stop...if he doesnt respect you enough to stop then he is a dirty boyfriend.
I know he loves you though and would stop if you told him how you felt.

You guys are awesome, yeah I talked to him about it, then he said we were always better as friends and we only talk like 1-2 times a month, but it still totally creeps me out. Plus now that I am using his dial up, she, his ex, everyonce in a while talks to him via AIM, so I am thinking one of these times I am going to pretend to be him and see what she has to say. But I just really don't like this and I tell him but how can I ask him to make it stop? Oh well, I guess if it comes up again I will say something.

I wish I could transfer but because I am so close, and plus out of state tuition is more then I can afford to pay right now. As of now I am looking at approximately $30,000 in student loans. Then for him, Portland is nto exactly hub of the financial industry so we are both stuck until I graduate, which sucks but what can I do.

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok I am getting sick and I hope I don't get any worse, because I do not have time to be sick.

8:30pm- 5 whites, 1 whole, salad

Posted by: greekblondechic

Hi shortstuff

the caramels, they had sugar alcohols in them right?

sugar alcohols make my tummy sooo sick!

Posted by: shortstuff

Yeah they did and normally the don't bother my tummy, but this kind I think had a different one so man I did not feel good. Ok going to keep it low on the fat today, I hate it when I get sick and upset, I don't sleep well. So I woke up in the middle of the night last night and snacked on some cashews, about a 1/3c. I HATE BEING UPSET!!! Oh well back on track today.

Posted by: shortstuff

2/22/04

7:15am- 1/2c oats, 6 whites

10:15am- proten bar

Posted by: greekblondechic

aww, i know what u mean, i used to always get so upset about my tummyaches and then id eattttt cuz i didnt realize it was something i could control and it wouldnt have to control me
dont fret

also, be careful many protein bars have sugar alcohols in them too, might wanna switch that meal to something else!

Posted by: shortstuff

No it has nothing being to do with my tummy, got into an arguement with the BF, and I am getting a chest cold or something cvause i am weezing.

Posted by: atherjen

aww I hope you getting feeling better girlie!
and you know better to be working out when your not feeling well! (I need to learn to practice what I preach!)
Have a great day hun!

Posted by: shortstuff

I know I shouldn't but it isn't in my head at all, just a chest thing. So I think I will do arms and abs today and instead of running like I wanted to do so bad, I am just going to do the elliptical for 30 min. I would be a weezing coughing mess if I ran today I bet. I just want this crap to get out of my chest.

Posted by: ncgirl21

I hate stairs when my butt is sore.. oh man they hurt!!!

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok my sweet tooth is shooting through the roof so hopefull this means that in a week and a half my monthly visitor will be visiting me

I don't mind it as much now that I am back on BC because my cramps are much more manageable. But man I want some real good food and I just have to plan it so I can not be majorly bloated and fat feeling when I have to see other people

Posted by: Stacey

Omg, I do the same thing--Plan my cheats around seeing people--to avoid feeling yucky and fat & bloated like hell!!

Hope you have a great weekend!!

Posted by: shortstuff

Well I am not majorly PMS well PMSy at all but it has been a month since a cheat and I was beginning to dream about food so I am doing my once a month cheat day. So I am doing that and working out and doing my cardio so I think this will jump start me buit mae me bloated. Oh well. I am enjoying my food before going another 4 weeks with a cheat.

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok feel completely yucky today but am too bloated but am ready to eat super clean again, off to go run outside and burn off this crap I ate yesterday, good sign, I AM HUNGRY!!!!!!

Posted by: hardasnails1973

what i have been telling people ..once the damage is done extra cardio is not going to make up for it. This is a fact unless you do it right after the damage is done. Oh a little run won;t hurt you any ways weather is nice enjoy it

Hey girlie!!!

Wow!

I see something very similar with your dieting along with mine! Our gals (trainers) must talk to each other!

Your workouts look great, too. I should analyze them closer though. Debi killed me yesterday with a back workout from hell!!

She has me doing a lot of supersets and it's an overall grueling workout!

Your doing so great.... tell me.... how do you feel overall?

Posted by: greekblondechic

what kind of protein bar??

Posted by: shortstuff

I did not do any extra cardio, just did the cardio I had scheduled, am going to scale down to one cheat meal a month, no more days, feel too crappy about myself today and am so bloated my pants are tight. Run felt great though, love running outside, makes me feel happy and content. Plus it is a great way to clear your thoughts. It always gave me the best legs. Man I love the oscars but these damn women are so tiny, I wish sometimes I could be like that but I enjoy having curves at the same time.

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok things are perfect today, did my morning run, tomorrow will be the elliptical cause I have to do cardio so early tomorrow morning. I ended up running for like 50-55min. FELT GREAT!!! My calves are super sore

So meals:

9am- 1/2c oats, 6 whites

12pm- 1/3c brown rice, can tuna, cuces

3pm- 1/3c red potato, 4oz chicken, green beans

6pm- 2 scoops protein, 3 fish oil caps

9pm- 4-5oz steak, brocolli, mushrooms

Ok from now on I am doing smart cheats, do the atkins pizza, get the low carb/zero carb ice cream, that sort of stuff. I just think that way I get better progress but don't feel totally deprived. So now I am just in a waiting game for aunt flo, since I was visiting darren after the last flo stopped I started the BC pills two days early, on friday instead of sunday, so hope that doesn't mess things up, just want it to come and go easy.

Oh well, off to do chest and tri's in a minute.

Posted by: atherjen

diet looks GREAT girl!!!

gosh if I ran that long I would be paralized the next day. I have terrible shins(compartment syndrome).
Have a great workout girl!

Very well said!

2 to 3 meals (1st & 2nd) consist of complex carbs for that slow burning effect!

Fruits, I could do wt/ out also, but I limit it to once daily in the second meal. (Protein Shake)

Yes david I agree completely the tamper method works wonders and it is not a low carb diet either but a moderate carbs, moderate fat. Depending on metabolism I would add EFAs with all my meals except my post work shake

Absolutely!

Supplementation is something often I do not post within my own "so-called" journal

but I do use Flax, Omega's, l- glutamine etc daily.

VERY VITAL within my own dieting especially with the "other" things that I'm using supplement wise!

Posted by: shortstuff

I don't do any other supplements beseides the r-ala, multi vit, calcium, vitamin e, vitamin c, and glutamine. I am off redline and I feel great, strength is awesome and I am constantly hungry with to me feels awesome!!! Especially on a day off I am hungry

Posted by: shortstuff

Ok am kinda wanting flow to come, I hate this damn waiting game

But meals are right on and I think flow will be here soon cause i have been so damn hungry it is not even funny, i wake up in the middle of the night hungry, so thank goodness I have some SF popsicles and some diet ice drinks so i sip on some of the diet ice and then go back to bed.

Posted by: atherjen

I hate getting up starving too! happens every nite. even though I eat before bed!

I need to find some SF popsciles!

Hiya Shorty!!!

When Greeky gets down here to SFLA, I'm getting her in to speak to Debi about the nutrition and dieting. The eating regimen of your and mine are relatively the same which is so cool!

I love your workouts and it's great to see you working hard at it! Stay cool, Pam!!!

Posted by: shortstuff

Hey Dave I have been thinking about you and hoping you are doing well. I am glad, she needs to get on a normal, noncycling diet to help her body relax and her mind relax. Why do I feel so damn bad when I take the wrong day off

I guess I am addicted but I saw that pic of deann and damnit I want to look like her.

Posted by: shortstuff

Hi Pam!

I completely agree with you on the cycling stuff especially for someone in her stages. It seems alot of trainers and industry elite would also agree as well. Well, I am very happy that Deb is going to speak to her and give her what she needs. I also talked to Deb and told her how you're being trained by an awesome lady as well!

Do you have any new stats to give?

OMG I am so thrilled!!!!!!!!!! I just met Jenny Lynn!!!! She is so super wonderful!!!!!!!! She was kinda funny, could not remember she had done my diet for me and my workouts. So as she was looking over my diet and workouts and cardio she was like hmmmmmm, this is the first time someone has a diet and workout schedule I don't want to change (except the steak in the end of the day, it is gone) did someone do this diet for you????

And so I told her she did and she laughed and said man I must have been carb depleted!!!

She is so super sweet!!! She said things look good, run what I am doing, take measurements, keep track and I will go back in a month or so when I come back down and we will reevaulate!!! So if anyone ever has the chance to meet ehr, do it!!! And for just winning the Arnold and just being out of town, she looked freaking great!!! Ok enough about her, but I have kept the diet clean while being here, am having a ball and time for another day in the sun today

how many times a week do u do cardio?

Posted by: shortstuff

I do six days of cardio 45 minutes each time, I usually run about 4 days a week and do the elliptical the other two, but since I am here I did not bring my good running shoes so am stuck with the elliptical.

That is awesome news! It's funny how your diet was dead almost. I, too, am surprised of the red meat towards the end or as the last of proteins but oddly enough, Deb has mine like that. But I told her that I prefer it not to be that way and if I HAVE to have that source that I will have it in meal #3.

Did you get pics, hun? IF you didn't, don't worry, I still haven't gotten one with Debi because I am SO DEAD TIRED from her brutal-awesome regimen!

That is awesome, Pam! I have to get back on the ball as well and increase my cardio back up and stop knuckling around. You could be my turning point!

You are so cute David, I know I am dropping the red meat and maybe move it to earlier in the day cause i like to have that source of iron, I bruise very easily so if I can do something to not, it is great.

No no pictures, I was so super nervous to meet her that I was just too excited to just be there. I could have talked to her forever but couldn't, oh well

I am going to go back and see her in like a month or two and see what she thinks about how things are going and reevaluate and then maybe get a picture

HEY PAM!! That is SO awesome that you got to meet Jenny Lynn!!!!!

Sounds like your having a great time, and keeping up with your cardio--your awesome!!

Posted by: shortstuff

I love it down here, when I get up at 7am it is warm enough thqat I don't freeze my buns off when I go for a run at 7:30, plus she said I will get my best results from running, so that makes me totally happy she runs too to stay lean so this is great!!!
