Tough time coping with not working out!!

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)



Posted by: dalila

Hi guys,

I need help, as I am absolutely lost right now. I've had great success with your advices about food and training till I had to stop training alltogehter. Three weeks ago, I was diagnosed with probably just a slipped disk, and have been asked by my doc. to stop all sorts of activity but walking!! I have real issues with this... I feel lethargic with almost no energy each day for anything, I am depressed c/z I feel that all my recent effort is now going to waste, and weather true or not, I feel less fit with each day that passes!

I don't even know where to start with adjusting my food intake. I used to eat rather clean so I am continuing that and I am just cutting out the PW meals for the time being, and will see how it goes....

Had no chance to do any imaging earlier and I am going for an MRI on the 21st.

So I guess for the time being, I just need some support to get my mood out of the dolldrums ... also will post my daily diet and let you guys take it apart ( I luv you all for that!) And once I start training again, will continue on with workouts as well.

I feel a little better already!


Posted by: atherjen

Sorry to hear about your recent injury I hope that things get better soon! Best of luck with the goals.. and keep food intake clean and positive attitude! Youll be back at it before you know it!


Posted by: Var

Sorry to hear about that, Dalila. I hope your back gets better soon. Whenever I've been out of the gym due to illness or injury, I've tried to concentrate on how intense I'll be when finally able to workout again. Also, helps me to plan my diet and training program for when I'm back at it. Just some ideas.

Hey Dalia, maybe a good time to catch up on that book you were trying to read (about bodybuilding maybe) or do something that you have been wanting to do for a while. All things happen for a reason. Maybe you were meant to take a few weeks off to let your body heal a little. Don't fret. You will be working out again soon enough. Time to clean out the liver and relax for a while.


Posted by: BoneCrusher

I am in the same boat and need to stop for a while so I understand how you feel Dalila. Just remember that you are a winner though and will not stop trying to achieve your goals.


Posted by: dalila

hey there atherjen, var, warrior and BC and thank you all for your words of support. I keep telling myself too that it must've been for a reason, - my knees started acting up a couple of months back. Being stubborn I got myself some glucosaminate and good knee guards and just went on... I guess the higher powers thought I needed a 'stronger indication' that I needed to rest

Great minds think alike- I was reading your comments about finding something else to do meanwhile, (instead of driving everyone around me nuts LOL), and I thought the same thing this weekend, so I signed myself up for advance lessons in German ( my second language which I’ve started forgetting ) and Malay ( local language in Malaysia)! That should be fun!

On the flip side, although eating rather clean, I’ve gone up 4 pounds in these 3 weeks!! I guess I need to cut the calories somewhat.. currently I am on about 1600 kcal, 40p/35c/25 ( not any particular eating plan, just the way I eat..)

Also about a week ago my appetite in the morning started being almost non-existent ( as opposed to feeling like I was starving while I was working out), so I started having an apple and some protein in the morning, instead of oatmeal or sweet potato…


Posted by: greekblondechic

I am sorry you cant work out but that is great you are learning other languages! Plus the body needs breaks from training now and then, look at it as recovery time. I've read some people say after a break, they come back stronger! And since you can walk, WALK! It will help you feel better!


Posted by: dalila

hey greekie, thanks for stopping by! I do walk a lot these days, that’s why I say I've been driving everyone nuts around me, b/c they have to walk with me! . My boyfriend says he prays every day my MRI this Saturday will show that I am fine so I can take my active ass to gym and stop torturing him! :laugh :


Posted by: dalila

what I ate on sunday:

9.00am coffee with milk ( no sugar)
10.00am 300gm stirfried ( pan just sprayed with olive oil) cabbage with
chicken breast

2.00pm - yong tau foo - boiled vegetables stuffed with fishcake( 2 big lady
fingers, 1 sweet chilli)
- 1 medium chicken breast
- 2 fish oils

6.00pm - small panfried sirloin steak ( dabbed with tissue LOL), some mized
veggies
- minestrone soup
- 2 fish oils

9.00pm - 150gm cottage cheese + 2 tbs psyllium husk


Posted by: atherjen

German sounds interesting!

As Vivian suggested, if you can walk, that will help by staying active as best that you can.

Maybe try eating smaller meals more often?


Posted by: PreMier

I am sorry to hear this. I myself have been out 11 weeks now, and have 4-6 left. It is really hard at first, but it gets easier. Just keep your diet up, so you dont loose too much weight.


Posted by: P-funk

hope your MRI turns out okay.


Posted by: dalila

hey Premier, no fear of losing weight here LOL, on the contrary, I've gained 4lbs, though not the weight I desire ( i.e. what else could it be but fat). What’s up with you? Back as well?

P funk thanks! I hope so too! Actually I've felt no pain now for 10 days, and that’s driving me even more mad….at least if I felt pain I'd deal with being a couch potato much easier! ( haha just re-read the last sentence, reads really morbid )

A friend called me yesterday to ask if sauna will make him lose weight! Honestly....

Atherjen yeah, I like German, it’s so organized and picking it up is rather simple. Also after the last episode in Vienna when I got told of 3 times for not being able to converse in german although I was in a german speaking land, I kinda decided to pick it up again. They get really easily offended I guess coz they think, here are these tourists in our country expecting us to speak English!! While on my mind ( and on most of other tourists) it’s like, well, I cant speak german, so I'll speak whatever I can, and pray you understand me! Peopl are so sensitive nowadays...

Yesterday's food:


9.30am coffee, low fat milk, no sugar

10.00am apple + 1/2 cup cottage cheese

12.30pm 1.5 chicken breast, 1 cup bean sprouts
2 fish oils

4.30pm 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 wedge cantaloupe, 1 TBS peanut butter
2 TBS psyllium husk

8.00pm 1/2 cup brown rice, 150gm chicken breast, 100 gm beef, stirfried red
peppers and asparagus
2 fish oils


Posted by: PreMier

Shoulders, both of them. One seperated, one dislocated. I was just saying not to lose based on my experience. Thats the last thing you want to do is lose muscle, fat is not that bad IMO.

Trust me, if I was a genius I would have kept eating like I was and not lost 20 lbs

Oh well, you are still one of my heros. Anyone that has an injury and still pounds down ice cream like you do is still a champ in my book.


Posted by: cops25

dalila, hope the situation is improving. Whatever you do, dont rush back in...
I had the same warning signs 18 months ago, and foolishly ignored them, and it got to the point where I woke up one morning with pins and needles in my leg and butt. I figured I slept wrong, and went about doing my thing until I realized three hours later, it was still there.
All said and done, I wound up getting surgery....took two months before I was allowed to do any light work (and I'm still paranoid to try squats).
Like the others said, use the time to catch up on reading, learning the German, and planning your attack when you get cleared

Best of luck


Posted by: dalila

hi cops thanks for stoping by! I am glad to hear that you are recovering well, and I completely agree with you, I've actually come to see this as a positive experience.

I went for my first proper Malay language lesson yesterday. The grammar is really simple, but pronounciation is a real tongue twister! Its to tough to get some sounds right! thank god it's not like chinese where wrong pronounciation apparently changes the meaning of the word as well!!

Yesterday was a very close friend's birthday nd she wasn't gonna take no to her birtday cake as an answer. HAd a half chocolate fudge cake which I didnt enjoy ( hate chocolate anyways!), and 2 glasses of red wine ( which I did a lot! LOL).

The rest of the food yesterday"

9.30am coffee with LF milk, no sugar
10.00 2 wheat ( 100% whole wheat) biscuits and 1/2 cup LF milk
1 roasted chicke breast

12.00 1/2 cup cottage cheese + 1 apple

2.00 200gm stirfried squid + okra,
2 fishies

5.00 1/2 cup cottage cheese

6.00 1/2 chocolate fudge cake

9.00pm 5 meatballs, 1 eggwhite, 1 whole egg, salad ( tomato, cucumber, green salad)
2 fishies


Posted by: Jodi

Do you figure your calories everyday to make sure you are within range?


Posted by: dalila

hey Jodi, thanks for poping in!

Yes I do add 'em all up every day. I was aiming for 1600kcl while I not training, but it usually adds up to abt 1800 ( except yesterday wher it shot up to 2300). I thought I had gone up 4lbs, but after yesterday's small pig out, I was actaully 3 pounds lighter ... so I guess in the last 3 weeks ( out of gym) I've kept about the same weight ( don't dare to check the BF/LBM)...


Posted by: Jodi

Just be sure to eat plenty of protein, bcaa's and keep carbs a bit lower than you normally would and you should be fine.

I am so tired today... some friends from australia came to Kuala Lumpur for a visit and I took them out for a dinner and a catch up session, slept verrrry late! They were so funny, said everyone in KL tried to rip them off hahaha, I can't believe it, keelites are such a nice bunch!! So anyone visiting be warned... they apparently can smell tourists from a mile away!

Food yesterday:

9.30 am, coffee (with LF milk, no sugar), 1.2 cup cottage cheese, 2 WW
biscuits with LF milk

12.30 100gms stewed chicken gizzards ( people don't make faces, I
lurrrrve those!)
150 gm stir-fried shrimp
1 cup spinach


3.30 pm 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 wedge cantaloupe, 1/2 green guava

7.30 Fish curry ( curry drained), a few grilled shrimp, vegies, 3 TBS white
rice, 1 hoegarden bier


Posted by: PreMier

What did they do to try and rip them off? Maybe because they dont speak the native language?

Hmmm I guess you are right... see, the expatriates who work here can at least pronouce local food names and city areas the way the locals do, not with an english/american/australian accent, and that lets the locals know that these people have been here for a while and probably know the way the things ( i.e. prices are here), but when you can't do that they know right away that you've just arrived and then they try to swindle you any way they can.... for example, they'll never let you haggle if they conclude you are a tourist, the taxi driver would refuse to use a meter, etc..

Of course if you can tell them WTF?? in their own language taht helps a lot LOL!


Posted by: PreMier

LOL. I will have to learn "WTF" before I go to another country I guess

If you coming to asia let me know, I'll teach you, I can say WTF in 6 different dialects

Well, I have been to Japan. Landed in Tokyo at Narita Intl. and stayed on Tokyo bay, where the landfill was. It was kinda cool, because our hotel and an office building were the only buildings in this huge area. All the other lots were filled with flowers, im sure its much different now.
How many languages do you speak?

Sara yeah I love liver too, but it has to be half cooked! Actually in all honesty I prefer all sorts of innards to the actual meet any time of the day! ( all my friends think I couldn't be more gross! LOL)

Premier how 'bout some nice stewed tripe and cow brains in batter? YUM!

I only speak English, my mother tongue which is slavic... some call it croatian/serbian/bosnian - we are so messed up! then I speak Malay ( still can't write), and write german ( can't speak anymore LOL)..... but you'd be surprised to hear in how many languages I can swear!


Posted by: PreMier

Whats tripe? I am down to eat anything once.. as long as I see someone eat it before me.

Cool, I'll lead LOL! Tripe is the animal stomach lining ( usually cow, sheep or pig). Verrrrry nice in a stew sort of thing, with lots of spices and tomato puree....

I had a blast watching Fear Factor recently ( you know the one where contestants have to eat disgusting stuff and do dangerous things to win money?) and they had to eat pig's brains and Malaysian stinky fruit called Durian, and everyone was gagging and cryng and I was thinking OMG such lovley stuff going to waste!!

Yeah but much nicer, spicyyyy. Haggis is stuffed tripe that is just boiled I think...

But back to gizzards, they are a part of chicken highest in protein and lowest in fat after chicken breast...so I am weird in a good way LOL!

I was about to say good evening everyone, then realised I have no clue whats the time in North America. I assume that most people here are from either the US or Canada? Anyways, just greetings then!

Yay Friday, I am in a very good mood today. Fridays are so special, aren't they?

Yesterday I went to a new shopping mall in KL to help a friend choose a gift for his girfriend's birthday. This new place is abosolutely huge ( for our standards), I think it's like 1km from one end to the other!! I made him walk really fast so it would double as a cardio exercise for me!! Poor thing, I think that was the last time he went shopping with me.

I am lazy to post yesterday's diet as it was boring same old as yesterday, super clean. But I did start taking apple cider vinegar with water and a teaspoon of some freakshly expensive honey ( 100% pure organic honey with supposed manuka healing properties - I am such a sucker for stuff like that!! )

I am also excited and a little scared of tomorrow - will be doing an MRI for my back. Kept bugging the doc to sedate me then my boyfriend said, knowing my tendency to fall asleep the moment my head touches a pillow, I won't need a sedative, I'll just knock off on my own in the mRI machine!!!!


Posted by: PreMier

Good luck with the MRI.
Its thursday night here in the US


Posted by: dalila

thanks Premier!! for both I mean

I am really hoping they will tell me tomorrow "heck woman you are a hypochondriac, your back is perfectly fine, now march to the nearest gym!!"


Posted by: greekblondechic

Dalila you are so cute and funny


Posted by: dalila

Greekie thanks girl, so are you! Stay positive ok?


Posted by: sara

Good luck dalila :P


Posted by: dalila

thanks sara!! if my MRI comes clean I'll treat myself with a nice set of heavy chest/bis exercises on sunday!!


Posted by: atherjen

liver??? weirdos!! lol

Good luck with the MRI today!

Hi Dalila,

I hope it all goes well....I'll say a little prayer for you


Posted by: dalila

Good evening and good mornign to you who are on my side of the world!

I spent the whole SAturday doing medical tests! I was poked, made to run, confined into small spaces ( i.e. MRI), and the hospital managed to lose my clothes!! Ok I didn't think it was funny at the time, but now I do!! Ha ha, I was just sitting there in a hospital gown, freezing my ass off! Then they found them, in a different locker form the one I held a key to!!

The rest of the results will be ready on Friday, but the MRI image showed a bulging of L5 disk without any encroachment on the adjacent nervs. Haven't got an opinion of my doc yet ( seeing him today), but from everythign I read about back injuries, it's not that bad, thank God it wasn't worse!

But I was somewhat disappointed, said to myself, what the heck, and went to a cake shop straight from the hospital! I won't tell you what sort of damage I did there!!

The only good thing that transpired from it all, was that after my stress test which meant I was running for 20 min on the exponentially increasing inclination, I had no back pain! So today I am going back to gym, and will stay away from exercises that involve weight bearing on/above shoulders.

Having said that, I have no clue, what back exercises and shoulder exercises could I do that circumvent this? Guys any recommendations?


Posted by: atherjen

YAY! I am glad to hear that the MRI went ok and that your able to get back into the gym, at least for a run or something along those lines. Perhaps I didnt understand, you cant lift any weight, right? or just chest and arms?

MMmmmmmmm do tell what you had at the cake shop After a hard day like that at the hospital, its totally acceptable!

Have a great week!


Posted by: dalila

Hi Jen! I had a pear and ginger cake on saturday and it was so mmmm! And it was so HUGE!!

I can't jog/run for the time being Jen, only cycling and swimming. Weights, well hmmmm the opinions differ, but I've been told it's ok to lift lighter, as long as I don't carry any wegihts on my shoulders or lift above them ( i.e. no barbell lunges, squats, shoulder presses, etc..)

Yesterday I decided to try my luck in the gym. No specific program or anything just really trying out what feels comfortable and what doesn't. So I did:

Cardio ; Cycling ( resistance and speed intervals) 45 min
Legs: :
Quad Extensions 5X12 at 40lbs
Hamstrign curls 5X12 at 40lbs
Hip Adduction ( inner tigh) 5X12 at 30lbs

Don't feel the work otu much in my legs today but at least there's no pain!

Diet:

9.30am coffee with LF milk, no sugar
10.00 apple + 1/2 cupo cottage cheese
12.30 stir fried ostrich meat ( 200gm) + spinach
4.00 1/2 cup cottage cheese + 1 pear
7.30 PW whey + slice of WW bread ( home made)
9.30pm chicken breast with wine sauce ( wine, 1 tsp honey, mushroom, and seasoning)

Congrats on getting back in the gym

Do you have to wait untill Fri for treatment options?

thanks premier!! I am happy to do at least something in the gym!
I am seeing my doc tomorrow to discuss the MRI scans. He has already told me though, that if the MRI shows only bluging disk it won't be necessary to come for daily rehab sessions, but to do these stretching exercises at home, ( I am already doing them) and have hot baths.....


Posted by: dalila

I've decided to go to the gym every other day for 2 weeks and if I feel fine then do the 4 days split. I've noticed that I've become paranoid, kept "feeling" my back yesterday to see if the previous day of exercises hurt in any way. I felt a little stiff, but that was in the upper back, nowhere near the injured area, I think coz I was doing lots of back stregthening stretches ( supermans, cat and camel and cobra pose).

Today will be doing chest and bis.

Yesterday's diet:

9.30am coffee with LF milk no sugar
10.00 1/2 cup cottage cheese + 1 apple
1.00 200gm steamed fish+ spinach+ brocoli
4.30 1/2 cup cottage cheese + nectarine+ green tea
8.00 5 large shrimp in curry ( no coconut milk) + 1/2 cup chicken +2/3 cup brown rice+ 2 TBS ice cream

I am off on Friday ( coz I need a break), and I am off on monday ( doing some silly shoot), and I am off on tuesday ( it's the day of independance here), and I am sooooo happy!


Posted by: sara

I'm so glad you working out!!!
Keep up the good work


Posted by: dalila

Thanks Sara, so am I!! Though I miss lifting as heavy as I could, but hey beggars cant be choosers! I am reading a really good book now by Dr. Ron Kennedy " The Thinking Person's guide to Perfect Health" really useful stuff!

You tummy any better?


Posted by: PreMier

Yea, thats awesome your back! Just be caredul


Posted by: dalila

Thanks Premy! What are you doing up this late??

I've just read something that makes sense to me - i.e. that with a back injury one should never go by the rule" Well I'll train what I can", i.e. everythign but the back and the legs as that causes muscle imbalance and puts one at even greater risk of reinjury. One should start training the whole body with very light weights, in a balanced way as soon as one stops being in pain......

I have a feeling my journal will in the end turn into a collection of tips for people with bad backs LOL!!


Posted by: PreMier

I know, I am up really late Just finished watching Rulon Gardner wrestle. Oh, and eating icecream

Sounds like you got a good plan. If this turns out to help people, then thats great


Posted by: dalila

And who won?
I mean you or the ice-cream? LOL

Posted by: PreMier

Icecream didnt stand a chance. It went down way too easy.


Posted by: dalila

Well done Premy, I am proud of you!!

Sara, yeah I am really carefull, thanks!

Ok I have to say I hate that bloody stationary bicycle! Even with a towel folded on top of the seat, my bum hurts very bad now!! Attempted to do some cycling yesterday and had to get up after 2 min, it was just too painful! Weird!

Walked about 3km ( very slow, speed 6.5 on treadmill).

Chest:
flat bench presses 12X30, 12X35, 12X40, 12X40
Inclined smith presses 12X35, 12X40, 12X45, 12X50
incl dumbell flyes 12X10( each hand), 12X12, 12X12, 12X12

bis:
inlcined dumbell curls 12X10 ( each hand), 12X12, 12X12, 12X12
incl. hammer curls 12X12( each hand), 12X15, 12X15, 12X15
concentrated bi curl 12X15lbs ( 4 sets)

Diet similar to yesterday's.

Do you mean yesterday? I eat steamed fish so often I lose track of which preparation I had which day LOL. But yesterday was something called "assam" style.... we have this herb here simply called assam, ( sorry it doesn't have eng. translation that I know off). They are sourish and smell wonderfully tangy... they are usually blended with pure chilli paste, and some ginger, then rubbed all over the fish. I like!!


Posted by: PreMier

Sounds good, but what kind of fish was it? Like halibut, salmon, etc.

I just assumed that you had fish today too, because you said meals were similar. So yea yesterday.

Oh, and good morning


Posted by: dalila

Good question! I just realised I don't know the names of half the fish I eat here! LOL, so I googled and found out that I had Threadfin fish yesterday! Premy thanks, you made me learn something new today!

O and good evenign(nite?) to you!


Posted by: Jodi

Mmmmmm Halibut is my favorite


Posted by: dalila

hey there jodi! I love any fish as long as it's not salmon! Well unless it's smoked salmon!

Posted by: dalila

O my, now I am completely lost! I was sure you were 12 horus behind my time zone Premy. Where are you man? Or do you work a nite-shift?

I've just checked out that link for halibut, and they have a niceeeee recipe for baked apples with ginger and honey, yum!!! I want!!


Posted by: PreMier

Yea, I work second shift. 2:30-11:30PM. It sucks. That cooking page, has the best food on it. I watch Nigels show on the local PBS.


Posted by: dalila

Premo, if you like good food and don't mind cooking, I could email/PM you a few recipes ( asian and middle eastern), I love cooking!

Just got back from seeing my doc, he said my disks are bulging sooo marginally he doesn't even think that gave me the pain in the first place. He also added that had I not told him about the bout of pain in my back, he'd think it was an MRI of a healthy back!

But he did say that the erector muscle on the left of my back is far more tense than on the right. He suspects an unjury to this muscle is causing the stiffness in the back and initially caused me pain.

Anyways, still careful, taking it easy with weights and doing only exercises that support back for a month or so..

Still I could jump all around the office and scream with joy!!

I agree Jodi, and unless it is made with either tomato sauce or lemon juice, its just way to rich and makes me sick to my stomach... but smoked salmon..mmmmm.

I like to bake or grill my salmon with dill, lemon, and butter.

At work LOL though you'd never guess from the way I've been posting here this morning! hahaha I am just really excited and not in the mood to work. It's not helping that everyone is in a holiday mood and the coming weekend is 4 days long!

I like butter, on bread, white (not oily) fish, to fry eggs... but NOT with already rich food like steak, salmon or cod, kinda makes me nauseous.. Was kinda brought on healthy food, my mom never fried ANYHING but eggs ever!

And no margarine for me, yucks, I even can't eat cookies if I know they have margarine in them.. my body goes into a self-defense " I am gonna puke" mode! LOL

So if icecream has margarine DON'T tell me LOL , I love ice cream way too much to care!


Posted by: PreMier

I have no idea if icecream has margerine in it.
Why is it a 4 day weekend, what holiday?

OK good, lets keep it that way, ignorance is bliss sometimes! LOL

It's the independance day of MAlaysia on August 31st. And it's very big deal here b/c they only stopped being a British colony 47 years ago. It's always a massive celebration.

Im sure the fireworks are phenominal.. I mean it is Asia. Take some pics ok?

yeah they are stunning, I have some pics of the last New Year's fireworks... will post them next week.....Don't think I will go out for the Merdeka Day tho, (this 31st)! The crowd is just unbelievable... it takes me 20 min usually to get to the city center, and on the eve of pub. holidays it can take as long as 4 hours!

Thats GREAT news about your MRI! I hope the pain totalled subsides soon!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm you can email me some recipes! I love to cook! and eat

I would but errr some are not ideal BB food LOL as they have stuff like couscous, butter or prunes.. hmmm I'll give my recipe collection a flip and will post some of the healthier ones.

Tomorrow is a back day. Planning on doing:

4 sets X12 reps of:
one arm dumbel rows
WG ( assisted) chin ups
low rows ( pully)

tris:
4 sets X12
skull crushers
single dumbell seated extensions
single dumbell kickbacks.

Bum-bums still painful from the darn bicycle !! May try walking again....


Posted by: dalila

Ok so I have done what I planned to do in the gym, though I am thinking that even if I am using pretty light weights, I might not need 3 exercises for tris and bis? any ideas folks?

Oh, and I also did some crunches ( minimal movement, only shoulders off, and tight squeeze of the abs), and lower back extensions. So far everything feels normal, except that silly 'erector 'muscle pulling back when I bend forward!

Diet hmmm eggs have been the food of the day LOL! I came across these herbal Chinese eggs that I adore, in the mall and bought 6!

9.00m coffee with LF milk , no sugar
10.00 whole boiled egg + 2 egg whites, ½ cup oats with ½ cup LF milk
2.00 (PW) 1 scoop protein powder+ 3 TBS raw oats
3.00 ½ cup cottage cheese + 1 slice 100% WW bread
6.00 1 whole boiled egg, 2 eggs whites, 1 slice WW bread
9.30 ( probably some steamed fish, and lots of veggies)

Checked my BF today with that little gadget that you hold, and I wasn’t pleased to find out it has climbed to 21.5% ! I swear like 2 % are around my tummy and EVERYTHING else in my darn thighs!

( the whole day has been such a mixture of good and bad news it’s a really a roller coaster today!)


Posted by: atherjen

I never do 3 exercises for bis or tris. usually just one, 4 sets. or if I do 2 exercises I do 3 sets.

Glad that all is feeling better as tthe days progress with your back!

Perhaps the bf reading was off! no worries! dont test it again until after youve been full force into the gymagain!


Posted by: dalila

but you lift quite heavy Jen right? I am down to 50% of my capacity for the next 4-5 weeks, do you thindo they k I should still be OK with 2 exercises?

By the way why do those little BF gadgets ask for the age as well? What does age have to do with BF??


Posted by: Jodi

Those bioimpedence tests are wrong. Please don't use that as an accurate way of measuring bodyfat.


Posted by: dalila

Alrighty Jodi, I hope they show more rahter than less BF than one actaully has! Actuallly that thing is really irritating, no matter how hard I train it shows more fat each year coz I am always 1 year older!


Posted by: Jodi

LOL - Those are for the "average" person. They rarely take muscle into consideration so yes, I'm sure you are lower than what it say


Posted by: sara

dalila, some workouts that I did last summer at home where I DID NOT have a bench were:

DB shrug
DB tricep extension
DB Hammer curl
DB Shoulder press
DB Front raise
DB Arnold press
DB Seated Lateral Raise

Since you have a bench, you can do DB Chest Press, DB Flyes


Posted by: dalila

Sara thanks for the exercises but do what I might I can't picture how I should do seated lateral raises for shoulders? I know the ones yo50u do for posterior delt, but not lateral....

Today is just cardio and shoulders day;
Cycling 40 min (intervals speed and resistance)

seated smith shoulder presses 3 sets x 12 reps @ 50lbs
alternate front seated raises 3X12, @ 10lbs ( dumbells)
rear raises 3X12 @ 8lbs dumbells
Lateral standing raises 3x12 @ 10lbs

Diet:
10.30am coffee with LF milk, no sugar ( overslept)
11.30am 1/2 cup oats with LF milk and some dried cranberries
2 slices FF cheese

2.00 pm Vietnamese Beef soup with mushrooms and soba noodles

5.00 Myoplex protein bar ( was hungry and on the go in a mall, figured it was better than a pretzel or cinnamon roll )

7.00 1 medium steamed crab, 3 large prawns, 3 glasses of red wine ( nice chillean!)

Hope you guys are having a great weekend

you would do a lateral raise as normal, standing, although you sit at the edge of a bench. makes the movement a bit more challenging.

mmmmm well.... relativly. not always 2 exercises per bodypart would be fine for sure just to maintain.

Hope youve had a good weekend!


Posted by: dalila

Jen, the weekend was tiring in all honesty... I have some friends from London visiting, and we were doing the touristy things around KL... The air is crap too, the haze form Indonesia again... grrr

Went to a photo shoot today, hated my make up! I swear that makeup woman plastered so much shit on my eyes, I looked like a wax doll... but you try and argue with them ....

Also everyone ordered pizza and they were wolfing it down, stealing glances at my oaties and cottage cheese and kept asking me what I was eating, why I was eating it, how could I eat it and do I eat like that every day and since when have I been eating like that urgh!! Million silly questions!

Since I woke up at 6.30am I am really tired now, and today is my rest day from the gym, so will go for a nap and chill out.


Posted by: atherjen

Photo shoot? PICS PICS PICS

Im sorry you had a tiring weekend! Hopefully this week will fly by for you!

Haha got to love all the food questions. I got them ALL last summer at my job at the tourist bureau every sinlge day.


Posted by: PreMier

I want pics too!


Posted by: dalila

you guys! I told you I looked like crap in those photos, so unless you haven't had a good laugh in weeks, I won't post them! They were face shots only anyways .... and I did say I won't post pics till I look like atherjen!!

Premy I like your signature , where did you get it? I watched the fireworks from my balcony last nite, they were good but not as nice as the ones for the NY's eve last year!

Today need to go buy a new notebook ( PC) and a fridge for my kitchen. One of those cool new gadgets with a water filter/water fountain and an automatic ice maker. I love gadgets! So save the walking all around the mall, there will be no workout for me today. ( unless the electrical shop stands me up and let me carry da darn fridge in myself! )

Last nite I had a korean BBQ for dinner mmm I swear they have the best meats!! Soooo tender and tasty! Had loaaads of meat, I can't even bear a thought of eating meat any time soon. So as they said in " My Big Fat Greek Wedding", now I'll eat lamb!

Atleast post them in your journal.. so that a few of us can see


Posted by: dalila

LOL okies, will do then, but don't say I didn't warn you! I should get a copy of the photos by Friday!

Jodi thanks for the nice words but trust me these photos are like this LOL

Premy I wanted to bring the fireworks photos today fr you, but I left them at home

Jill I am from former Yugoslavia, 29, and I've been living in Malaysia ( south east asia) for the past 13 years. Thanks for stopping by, and please don't be a stranger in my journal.

Yesterday, I walked for 4 hours in the malls looking for the fridge I wanted ( that has to count for something doesnt it?) Aaaaaaaaand I found it!! Aaaaaaand it's gonna be delivered this friday! Now I don't have to stick my fatty photos on te fridge door any more, the door has the mirror finish!! LOL

I also managed to get some 15 min of fast paced swimming in the morning, which I am sure was all nulled with my "beef, beef and more beef" dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant!

By the way who said they like Detour bars?? I got one yesterday and it was waaaaay too sweet for me. I think I still like the Myoplex apple cinnamon the best.


Posted by: Jill

Detour too sweet??? Never... I dont think Ive ever had ANYTHING that was too sweet? (for me anywase! )

Detour bars are alright, not too sweet its just that they are so bad for you that I'd rather have the real damn snickers bar


Posted by: dalila

Posted by: dalila

Jodi thanks for not noticing the total absence of any muscle mass on my arms! I used to do 3 sets of high reps on all my exercises and never really saw any muslces coming up, till someone here enlightened me to the fact that high reps weren't the way.... And then when I started training as heavy as I could, I hurt my back, and could've beaten my own stupid self! I try not to think about it though and hopefully will be able to go back to training heavy in 3-4 weeks.

Jodi you work in IT don't you? I do PR for IT companies. Mostly MNCs present here in Malaysia.... but now I wish I could bake and sell cookies! LOL less stress!

I like this smily a lot !!!!



Posted by: dalila

No gym yesterday, today is the chest and tris day!

Yesterday's Diet:
9.30 coffee with LF milk no sugar
10.00 1 egg + 2 egg whites ( boiled), 2 Wheat biscuits + 1/2 cup LF milk
1.00 200gm braised chicken + spinach and petula ( veggie, family of gourds)
3.30 1/2 cup cottage cheese + some almonds
6.30 1 WW + oat flour home made apple muffin, smoked salmon salad ( no dressing - I was in a hurry!!
9.30 mushroom soup + grilled fish

Last nite I attended a dinner and opera singing concert, the famous Three Chinese Tenors from Australia... I have to say they were very good!! And to think that one of them with such a voice was a dish washer in some restaurant for years... They are funny too!! One of them came out dressed in a Torro's outfit, and in the middle of his aria, threw it off and he was torso-naked underneath!! Everyone started laughing and I caught myself thinkin, hmmm he definitely looks like he is on a bulking diet!!!

I got suckered into buying a new protein powder Protein Complex or something, much more expensive that the Designer Whey I usually get, but the GNC girl said that the reason for that is that, PC brand carried 55gm of protein in a serving.. I only realised that their serving measure is double of the one used by DW ( 70 gm as opposed to 30gm )!! Naturally it has twice as much protein then!! Well anyways.... it tastes really good and the other macros are fine so I'll stick with it this time...

People it's Friday!!

Good morning everyone ( well technically it's noon here, but I've just opened my eyes so.... ) Thanks Sara and NcGirl and ncgirl I kept reading your nick as nice girl hehe, but hey I wasn't wrong either way .

Friday was the chest day:
Chest:
Flat bench presses 15X40, 10X45, 8X50, 8X50
Incline dumbbell presses 15X10, 10X12, 8X15, 8X18
Standing cable flyes 12X2plates, 10X2.5pl, 8X3pl,8X3pl

Tris
Kickbacks unilateral 12X10, 10X12, 8X15
Kickbacks bilateral 10X12 3 sets
Tri dips 10plates assisted 3 sets

A question - when I do the flat bench BB presses do I go down almost to my chest ( which I thought was correct) or just till my upper arms are parallel to the floor ( which the gym instructor is telling me to do)?

I swear this gym is driving me nuts! Gotta find a new place to work out, but this one is so conveniently 5min away from my house...

Diet was good over the weekend, save the fact that I had too much wine on friday ( 6 glasses) and too little food on saturday, as I was nursing a hangover, and I felt terribly guilty on sunday!

I always went down to chest level worked best for me, I know others who dont but I think they have more of a weight ego going on. lol

mmmmmmmmm wine, I only like homemade.


Posted by: dalila

Jen thanks girl! I thought I was right to do those benches the way I did! And you make wine at home? You mean like mulled wine or just normal wine?

Today was the back and bis day but because I didn't do shoulders this week I decided to lump them all together. After that I had to go to a hairsalon to get my hair washed, arms felt like jello haha.

Back
lat pulldown 15X30, 12X41, 10X50, 10X50, 8X60
low row 12X2 plates, 10X3 pl, 10X3pl, 6X4plates
one arm rows 12X12, 10X15, 8X20, 8X20, 6X25

Bis
Pronated EZ bar curls 12X17.5 ( 3 sets), 22.5X8 ( 2 sets)
Incline hammer curls 10X10 ( 3 sets), 8x12 ( 2 sets)
Cable curls 12X3 plates, 10X3.5 plates, 8X4pl

Shoulders
Smith presses 12X 40. 10X45 ( 2 sets), 8X55( 2 sets)
Barbell rows 12X22, 10X27 ( 2 sets), 8X32 ( 2 sets)
Standing lateral raises 10X10( 3 sets) 12X8 ( 2 sets)

Abs + lower back extensions

Had 10gm of whey before then 10gm after bis and 10 after after the workout - was that necessary, what do you guys think? Just thought it was gonna be a long work out ( 1.5 hours) and I'd better had some..?

Now another questions :
When I lift on weekends it's usually as soon as I wake up, so should I just have some whey or whey and complex carbs?

Today was a nice day because I managed to squeeze in a massage and facial after the workout! I like!


Posted by: Jill

I always have whey and F1 or oaties pre-workout before a weight than cardio session. I couldnt imagine just whey. It I just am doing cardio its just whey or on an empty stomach. Jodi recommended pre-w cabies to a me long time ago.


Posted by: atherjen

I would have just a small bit of whey as soon as you wake up and train. That way there is something light in your system, you can rely on the stored glycogen for energy. Make sure to have your postworkout meal immediatly following your workout, w.complex carbs and lean protein.

lucky duck for the facial and massage!!!

my grandmother makes the wine... Im not sure how she does it but she has a wine room full of hundreds of bottles made from different berries and blends.


Posted by: dalila

Okies Jen, so whey before and whey plus complex carbs PW! Got it ma'am!

I already like your granny!! Mine makes plum brandy!! But I hate that stuff, you can remove paint off the walls with it, it's that strong!!

Note to myself : Eating rice noodles doesn't make your stomach happy, so QUIT eating them silly!!

Yesterday's diet ( which made me bloat like a balloon!)
noon : coffee, no sugar, LF milk ( watched movies on sat till 4am!)
12.30 1 scoop whey + 4 tbs oats ( pre-workout)
2.00 1 scoop whey
3.00 1 scoop whey 4 tbs oats
5.00 buckwheat noodless with home made beef soup
7.00 protein bar ( 160kcal, 20gm of protein)
9.30 Rice noodles with huge fresh water prawn.

Hi Dalila,


I wanted to personally (well, as personally as this can get) for your kind words the other day. My kids are the adorablestets, you are right. We have people at my wife's work who are begging us to have another because they think we make the most beautiful kids.... ....Not gonna happen. I mean, don't get me wrong, there is nothing more fun than trying (practice makes perfect, I say) , but we are fine with 2 gorgeous kids...
Once again, Dalila, thanks for your thoughts and I will be by more often after the 2nd hurricane comes our way (this hurricane thing is getting old )


Posted by: dalila

Jen dearie, hahaha I can just imagine you with a sooty face! So cute!! And by the way I picked up my english in Malaysia, and this being a tropical country they never taught me the word " flue" hahah just had to stick my nose in a dusty dictionary ! I can't believe psyllium bloats you up, it helps me soo much!

Tony, you are such a thoughtful and nice person, and you deserve the cutest kids, the nicest wife and everything else that is good! I've never been through a hurricane and have no idea what you guys are in for, but I sure will pray for your safety ( and your quick return to the journal heheh, I know, I am selfish!).

Yesterday, there was no jinx of any kind, had a nice "Legs" day in the gym, but did tell off the gym manager!! She says to me ( trying to embarass me) " I've heard you're complaining there's not enough plates ( weights) in the gym", and I say to her "Yeah, I and I've heard you said I should bring my own!!" Well needless to say she kept quiet after that ha ha!! Why people never learn that if someone tells them stuff, they are very likely to tell elsewhere as well, sigh....

Leg extensions: 15X35, 10X45, 8X60, 8X65, 6X70 ( up 10 lbs from last week)
Seated leg curls: 15X30, 10X35, 8X40, 8X45, 7X50 ( down 5lbs )

You'll have to start with lighter weights too right?

It was 2 months since my injury when I first resumed doing them Jodi ( that was 2 weeks ago). Initially I could only do one set and then the back would clamp up ( not sure how to explain it)... but I continued doing them with some serious ( physio) stretchin b/c my doc recommended srengthening lower back muscles with these asap, and now I am fine. But I MUST do lots of deep stretching afterwards.

And thanks for looking out for me!

Well, you'll be only relatively weak.. I mean not weak, just weaker than you used to be. Good luck Premy! Eat a lot of moose and elk ( whatever the heck that is) and you'll get stronger in no time! LOL

Yeah I've watched it twice ( don't ask why, I say I can't watch something even the first time then I end up seeing it again! strangely wired!) Such ridiculous hate never ever leaves me impartial, I get angry to the point of boiling. I guess there is a well of anger in me for what happened to my own country that takes very little to stir up and erupt!

But I partially watched it twice b/c Norton looks really hot in the movie ha ha!

Its really great because of the turn around he made with his life also. Its so sad that his younger brother had to die though.

Such is gangs in contemporary America..

It always is, but sometimes a big bad is needed to make people realize just how evil they've been to others....

Anyways, now to happy thoughts should I get a good whey supp, or should I go for an isolate? I only take it PW and the isolates are generally twice as expensvie as the non-isolates here... are they worth the money?

Can't wait for the weekend! I am going dancing!! Yay, a new Cuban club has opened recently in KL, I hear it's pretty happening!! Gotta dig into my self-tanning creams to make my big legs look smaller and small arms look bigger!! LOL , coz ya know, you can't go salsa dancing without a little skirt!


Posted by: PreMier

PICS! of the little skirt

About the whey.. If you are on a low protein diet, Isolate is better. If you are on a high, then regular will do. IMO regular will be fine for you.

Errr if you get grossed out will you still visit my journal? LOL!

Thanks for the advice on the whey stuff, I am quite happy I don't have to spend all that money on isolates, more money for shoes LOL! I dunno if I am really on a low/high protein diet, I eat about 130-150gm of protein a day, and I weigh 121, ooops gone up to 123lbs! But my jeans still fit quite well and I refuse to be concerned!


Posted by: PreMier

Yea, your on a moderate protein diet. Regular whey is fine.

I cant wait to start eating again.. 450+ grams of protein here I come

I eat a lot period!! MY bf says it's cheaper to dress me than to feed me!! LOL
Anyways, I love fish and it's readily available here so I stuff myself!


Posted by: Jodi

I wish it was cheaper here Fish is my favorite but because of cost I can only afford it once or twice a week.


Posted by: PreMier

185lbs right now. Havent started to eat yet, but will soon.


Posted by: dalila

Jodi I fully understand , seafood was very expensive back at home as well, and never fresh, always frozen, so I used to eat it quite infrequently. But here, fish is cheaper than any meat, and only cod and salmon are a little expensive, but even then is not bad.

Premi, 185 and haven't started eating yet!! LOL Like I said, the little animal farm is now officially in danger!


Posted by: PreMier

nono.. I havent started eating that much yet. So they arent in danger yet

I am off to bed, late...

Goodnight~

Poor Jen, no fishing!

The fish I eat here is all freshly caught from the sea Jen. I go to the fish market every sat.and buy them all caught that morning! I only buy salmon and cod frozen. We hardly have here fish farms, save for a few that farm some expensive fish called Haruan, that is like US150 a kilo!!

So incline presses won't give me bigger cleveage??

Chest is my fav day-next to shoulders.

How do you prepare your fish? Is chix and beef any good where you live? Is it cheap?


Posted by: PreMier

Nope. Just do your normal chest routine, you cant 'shape' muscles.

hey Jill!
I hate chest days, it's like I workout and workout and don't see any difference LOL! I love leg and bis days

Fish I usually steam... wash the fish, butterfly it, squeeze some lemon, sodium free soya sauce, few slices of garlic and giner and voila! Sometimes I just wash it put a few twigs of coriander in the cavity ( i.e. keep the fish whole), some garlic and ginger, fold it in a large piece of aluminuim foil, then mix lemon juice ( from 1 - 1.5 lemon) with a bit of splenda, pour all over the fish, add a few olives, some capers, tightly wrap it all in the foil, and bake for 20-30 min, yum!... lots of ways..

Chicken is good and so is beef ( beef here is all imported from NZ and australia), but I am hopeless with cooking beef, it always turns out tough!! I only make goulash and stews with beef...

Yes, you are fine.

Do you have to skin and bone your own fish?

I'll teach you how to cook beef and you can teach me how to cook fish.

Jodi you"ve got yourself a deal . Fish is really easy ( if you like fish), the trouble starts when people don't like it and you have to cook it for them so that all the taste of fish disappears... Have you tried steaming? And you have to try that foil-baked whole fish recipe I wrote to Jill!

Also I generally buy fish that doesn't have lots of bones. Will look up the names in english for you, so I don't have to really worry about bones. And fillets are readily available skinned and deboned...

Now what beef cuts do I stew and what do I grill ( as a steak)?

J, I really dunno why I couldn't wake up before 11am today! Watched the Cat Woman , slept at 2am, arranged for someone to pick me up to go to the fish market this morning, and then overslept!! I gotta go now buy a nice bottle of wine to apologize!


Posted by: fantasma62

Hi Dalila....


You know, that's a very pretty name. I hadn't told you .
So you know how to cook fish and not a steak? Hmm. I really sucked at cooking fish until my mom taught my wife something called "Tilapia Enchilada", which is a cubanized way of making creole tilapia without the spicy creole flavor.
Also, I was taught that you can steam it in a piece of foil as you say. I however gave up on the idea of grilling it. I do have a dream. I would love to get a tuna fillet and cook it the right way. It's so easy it's ridiculous, however, I have managed to screw it up twice, and I am considered an excellent cook....Go figure.
By the way Dalila, I agree with that "what god gave you" statement, however, that's about as far as I will go with it. When it comes to a woman's weight and boobs, a man should never get involved or make any comments. That's part of Guys 101 (college course )...

Have a great day...

I'll try steaming the fish. I have 1 piece of salmon left that I'm going to cook this week. I'm not a salmon fan but I've been trying it and basically learning to like it. I sooooo love Halibut though I could eat it everyday if I could afford to.

As far as steak. The BEST steak for the grill would be Filet Mignon. Other good ones are Eye of the Round and Sirloin. I love sirloin tips or tritip steak

For stew..........hmmmmmmmm, anything really because if you are slow cooking your stew then the meat will become tender. Try a meat tenderizer before using it in your stew.


Posted by: dalila

Jodi don't steam salmon, I don't think it's gonna turn out nice. Salmon and other fatty fish are best pan-fried, grilled etc.. white flesh fish is nice steamed like seabass, black pomfret, dory and sole fillets and I think halibut too.

Here's a nice salmon recipe I like a lot ( I always have to have sourish sauce with salmon to balance off the fattyness)... experiment with diff. amounts of lemon juice and splenda to get the right taste for yourself:

marinate salmon in some olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper for 30 min. Remove and discard the marinade.

grill/ pan fry salmon fillets.

sauce
( for 4 salmon fillets)

1 sweet apple cut in chunks
2tbs flavored oil ( peanut, wallnut- oil, olive oil if fine too tho)
1 bunch spring onions
1 garlic clove
50gm pine nutes
juice 1 lemon
125gm strawberries halved
bunch of basil

cook first apple, spring onion, garlic, pine nuts for 10 min, then add the rest. ( mash a few strawberry slices with lemon juice before adding).

salt, pepper and a little splenda to taste.
drizzle ove the salmon fillets.

Thanks for the tip on beef! I made some nice thick beef broth with pumpkin and shitake mushrooms to eat with soba noodles ( used tenderloin - because it sounded tender hahahha), let me know if you'd like a recipe for that .

Tony, wise, wise! Post that Tilapia Enchilada recipe man, I wanna try it yum!

Hey dalila, sorry I have never checked out your journal before, must have missed it all this time. Everything looks good though! But I am wondering in your exercises when you put 10x55. Is that 55 reps you're doing? Because it's obviously not 55 sets.

Mike, if she is writing it the same way I do, I bet you she meant 10 reps at 55 pounds...Just my guess....


Posted by: dalila

Hey Monstar ( Mike right? thanks for popping in and feel free to come by often. And LOL yeah Tony is right, I meant 55 pounds, sorry I thought it was obvious.


Posted by: M.J.H.

Oh okay now I see, I was confused before, sorry about that. Here's a question, about the training and all that. What are you goals, and how long have you been training? Sorry if you have already posted all of this before.


Posted by: dalila

hey no worries about asking again , I've been lifting for about a year (consistently, and on and off before that too), my goal is really more muscle mass on my upper body ( pear-shaped) and eventually to drop lose some BF ( right now around 19%). BUT most importantly I had hurt my back ( had a minor bulging disk on L5) and am now recovering. So no squats, no deadlifts and bent over rows... I was out of the gym for 6weeks and have started training again 3 weeks ago at about 80% intensity.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I like salsa, I just can't dance much of it. Same with merengue. I'd rather hold a football in my hand and run like hell...
I literally hate coffee. I may be in the minority here in Miami...


Posted by: M.J.H.

Good luck achieving your goals! Definitely stay around 80% intensity for a while, I would hate to see you jump back into things and get injured.

Is that you in your avatar?


Posted by: dalila

Yeah Monstar 80% it is for a while and no cardio , but I am getting so much better, I think in 2 weeks time I'll start trying fitball squats and dumbell lunges, and then every week try to do a little more.... I just wish my shoulders and bis were a little stronger... I guess in a while I will try again the 5X5 training for strength...

Yes that is me in the avi, before I had my hair cut, now I have short black hair!


Posted by: dalila

Yesterday was the legs day:

Crunch and straightent a leg 3X 15

Diet

Hey guys I need an advice. I like this split legs/chest and tris/back and bis/shoulders..... but I am not sure after which parts I should take a day off and which two days I could do in a row... can someone pls. tell me when in a week I should train which part pls? Also if you ave any comments on the split itself, their are welcome too .


Posted by: Jill

I Do:
Sun-Chest
Mon-Back
Tues/Wed-Bis and Tris
Wed/Thurs-Leggies
Fri-Shoulders
Sat-Rest
Incase you care
Oh ya, lotsa cardio too!! I like splitting my bp's up, it works well for me.

If I posted coffee in my meals it would look like this...
M1: Coffee
M2: Coffee
M3: Coffee.


Posted by: dalila

Jill, you're so funny girl!! I only drink coffee in the morning, coz my blood pressure is a little low, and after a whole nite of fasting it really dips, so in the morning you can talk to me for an hour and I wouldn' even know I saw you unless I had coffee first!!!

So you basically do 5 days in a row? Hmmm don't think I could do that, after my back and chest days I need a day of rest, arms are so sore I can't lift anymore for either leggies or shoulders.. .


Posted by: Jill

Sometimes I have a rest day afetr back and chest, it just depends on my work schedule. Tues/wed/thurs I sometimes throw in a rest day.


Posted by: dalila

OMG People!! Can someone tell me if this is right.... on the fitday, 1 cup of brown rice has 684 calories??? Is one cup about 200gm???


Posted by: Jodi

Make sure you are not typing in 1 cup DRY.


Posted by: dalila

Jodi thanks, I am a silly goose, hahah it was 1 Cup uncooked, eeeek panicked there for a minute!

Jodi I am slowly incraesing the weights to get where I had left off before the back problems, it's not very heavy but it's stil quite heavy for me. Therefore after a back and bis/chest and tris days, I need a day of rest, so what do you think of this split:

Mon: Legs and abs
Tue: Shoulders, lower back
Wed: Abs ( at home)
Thur: back and bis
Fri: Abs and lower back ( at home)
Sat: Chest and tris
Sun: rest.


Posted by: Jodi

I would do this

Mon - Legs/abs
Tue - Rest
Wed - Shoulders
Thur - Back/Bi's
Fri - Abs
Sat - Chest/Tri's
Sun - Rest

You only need to work abs twice a week any more than that is just plain silly.

The reason I suggested moving your shoulder workout is because if you need rest, then you should rest the day after your large muscle group workout.
