i should but it gets monotnous. i just am going in my lr/gym n spending a half hr moving from thing to thing n sweating like a pig. and for sure a lot of people would tell me i'm not eating enough but i'm trying to keep it healthy i'm far from starving.

Posted by: Little Wing

eh, i thought about it guess i will start posting my nutrition n excercise in here. later tonite tho. if i posted my sleep patterns i'd really get some flak. nite.

12 th bike

the backs of my thighs n my arms are feeling what i've been doing n everything gets easier with repition weight seem lighter n so on time on the bike seems easier.

grocery shopping today n bought salmon n shrimp for supper tonite, then took a nap n ate it in the middle of the night. was still really good. i bought a ton of chicken for soups and some different things to try in them like lentils. got a real weird look from a woman when i put 6 18 packs of eggs in my cart.

Posted by: Little Wing

14th bike n weights. I've lost weight as expected since starting this but seems to me it will still be beyond march to really see any muscle. like i said great thing is march isn't ok you need to stop now deadline. eating more food freaks me out but it isn't having the effect i expect it to on my body. psychologically if i eat something like cheese i think i'm going to gain back all my weight overnight. can see that it'd be really easy to develop an eating disorder here but if you do the right thing i expect eventually you will learn to trust the results.

n i'm going to put another big chunk of salmon in the oven n cook some peas.

Posted by: Little Wing

16th bike n weights. my diet is better i think cuz i'm not dizzy at all anymore.

breakfast oatmeal n yogurt
orange
2 slices multigrain toast n 3 eggs
orange
turkey soup w carrots celery barley

Posted by: b_reed23

I still dont' think your eating enough food...I take in 1600 cals a day, and 150 grams of protein...you may want to surf around here, or talk to emma about your diet..she will hook ya up

Posted by: Little Wing

thanks. i'm getting so sick of turkey or chicken soup but i like minestroni n added a good pasta sauce to some turley soup was really good. spinach is great in soups too. i roast a big chicken or turkey n we have a meal of it then i make soup the next day.

breakfast 2 slices multigrain toast 3eggs.
going back to bed.

Posted by: Little Wing

well going back to bed didn't work out.

10:30 tomato soup and 1/2 c tuna

Posted by: Little Wing

i made no yolk noodles yesterday n had them with a pasta sauce i really like classico florentine spinach n cheese. also made lemon garlic chicken. a hint for slicing boneless skinless breasts into strips use scissors... makes it fast n easy.

Posted by: Little Wing

my diet today was more calories as b.reed suggested.

oatmeal n yogurt
raw carrots
3 egg omelet w pasta sauce
celery n peanut butter
lemon garlic chicken breast n black soy beans

bench presses
leg extension
leg curl
bent over rows
barbell curls

stepper 5 min warm up cool down

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm not ready to add more weight but i added more reps last night n i feel it this morning. shoulders, biceps, armpits

, butt n thighs are burning. akk. nothing too bad but ow.

Posted by: b_reed23

burning and soreness is a good sign in this case......

Posted by: Little Wing

yea if sex caused it i'd be scared to death haha. back at it later today.

Posted by: Little Wing

been doing more reps w my workouts so tonite i'm going to add weight n see how it goes.

Posted by: b_reed23

cool beans

how many calories and protein are you taking in on average?

Posted by: Little Wing

i don't count calories or protein grams. just try and eat clean and good fuel food. i lost 10 lbs since the begining of january. but like now here's what i ate today
omelet w 3 eggs and salsa (1 yolk)
apple n pb
tin of tuna w lemon n 1 cup green beans
canned peaches 1 cup
1/2 chicken breast roasted w cous cous made w tomatoes and olive oil.

Posted by: Little Wing

adding more weight was fine i only added 5 lbs but am sure i can add another 5 by next weekend. not much but i'm proud. my body has a nice little burn all over n it's a good feeling.

Posted by: Little Wing

i've decided that i'm close enough to my weight goal and that my diet is pretty much optimal to not have to focus on it much. i'm going to concentrate on pushing myself with cardio and especially the weights and let my weight just fall into place as i'm sure it will. going for what my body looks like n what i see n feel more than numbers right now i still feel quite a lot of fat under my skin obscuring any view of my hardening muscles... i'm going to break up my workouts too to add more types of lifts n not be taking 2 hours to do a full routine. lower body 1 day upper the next... ??? looking around at some sites to figure out a good plan. i've been at this now long enough n seen enough change that it's become a fun habit now i want to get a little more aggressive with it but not too because i'm already feeling a little ow here n there steady. hoping that putting the focus on muscle gain instead of weight loss will work in my favor.

put plants here n there inmy excercise room today. very nice

food same old same old eggs poultry veggies fruit and a ton of water.

Posted by: Little Wing

once i develop a good routine i'll post detailed workouts.

Posted by: Little Wing

felt like puking after my workout. i guess your heart can beat too fast.

Posted by: The Monkey Man

Why are you showing pics of your Bondage Table?

Are you doing sexaerobics now? or is your BF getting
ready for his calf roping rodeo comp?

Posted by: Little Wing

no.... i have a plan to lose much of my stored body fat. it's called "sweat" and it's my new best friend. except last night it tried to kill me.

was for my own good tho so we're going out again tonite. .... or staying in

Posted by: Little Wing

i've lost 10 pounds n am working out harder even added more weight ok that sounds screwy... not added body weight

measurements jan 30, 06

bust 41"
waist 30"
hips 38"

thigh 23"

bicep 11 1/2"
flexed 12"

calves 13 1/2"

lost 2" from my bust since dec 25th, no idea what i lost anywhere else but my pants are loose

btw i'm 5'9"

Posted by: Little Wing

i've been learning bellydancing n i'm trying to download some really cool music Vanity found.... i had to have my dsl box replaced n the download keeps disconnecting.

Posted by: Little Wing

last night's workout kicked ass. i'm going to add a bit more weight to my upper body work again this saturday. i have been really blasting my arms n thighs and can actually see the results i've had

. very motivavting. everything hurts a little n i'm liking it. i made an 80 minute cd i really like n i think it makes me workout harder n longer. still a layer of bf to beat but all in good time n it is very cool to be to the point where it is not if i do but when. as in when my fat is nice n low these muscles in my thighs are going to be killer... uh that's by my standards not bb ones.

i added squats with the barbell held behind my neck. if i use a nice wide grip it's not so bad.

Posted by: b_reed23

that's how I have to grip too....otherwise hurts my rotator cuffs...

also...it's so much fun to see you getting so excited about all of this....your enthusiasm is very catchy!

Posted by: Little Wing

thanks.

i keep thinking of John H. saying the results are guaranteed. some people might be made uneasy by him a bit but he has a DAMN good point there.

Posted by: Little Wing

so as impossible as i thought it was

i added 10 pounds to my bench press

15 pounds to leg extensions

5 pounds to bicep curls

5 pounds to tricep extensions

10 to leg curls
this was hardest i can extend more weight w my legs than curl.

i hope to add at least that much more again over the next few weeks. once a weight gets easier to manage i add more reps n when that's not so bad i add 5 pounds.

Posted by: Little Wing

well i'm decidedly not ready to increase bp again yet. 12, 8, 6 is still quite hard n pulling my shirt over my head at night is painful. everything hurts actually but that the most. sometimes i think uh oh my legs are going to cramp but they haven't yet.

i've looked at how some other members divide their splits but still am doing full body.

added more calories in the form of coconut milk in my oatmeal and an additional omelet most days.

i like how my thighs are shaping up and am anxious to see them sans fat but am taking Vanity's advice n relying more on exercise than a drastic drop in calories to change my body.

i've noticed muscle strength and using weights gives me a lot of control over muscle movements and it is making the bellydancing easier.
going to add some pilates.

my birthdays in march n i'm treating myself to a new sound system for my exercise room cuz the music i think to me is key to getting a great workout not just a passable one.

Posted by: Little Wing

and i can't wait for valentines day i'm totally pigging out on chocolate strawberries n whipped cream.

Posted by: Little Wing

i used to smoke when i was younger and i made a few attempts to quit. then one day i was just really ready to quit n tossed them n that was that. nothing to it. well working out has been like that i think. i've had a few false starts then something just clicks and you are ready and it begins for real. i'm disappointed that i'm not ready to add more weight to my bench press yet but this too shall pass. i'm working toward a goal of just 75 pounds right now n i know some women on here do that or more already so

Posted by: Archangel

Progression is looking solid in here Sister Wing, keep it up!!!

Posted by: Little Wing

thanks.

Posted by: boilermaker

I'm liking the attitude! You seem really focused. What kind of plants did you add to the room?

Posted by: Little Wing

plants my mom gave me nothing special but nice anyway i'll take pics tonite n post them. i recognize the spider plants but there are others mixed in.

music, mirrors, candles, plants, inspiring pics and soft lighting

last night i described what gives me grief n Vanity says those are my rotor cuffs. sooo we'll be working on those suckers.

Sounds like a pretty nice gym setup. I have rotator cuff issues with my left shoulder. I've been doing exercises for it at least once a week and frankly, it hasn't helped.

. But I'm going to keep at it with hopes that the pain will go away.

Posted by: Little Wing

mine don't hurt they are just weak as hell. so low weight lots of reps.

Posted by: Little Wing

starting today i am going on a 3 day cleanse. water, juice and green tea. sunday i'll add fruit then gradually start eating the usual foods. during i'll do light weights lots of reps, yoga and pilates. back to normal diet and workouts by tuesday. i need a kick start and mental boost my mood is way too emo.

Posted by: Little Wing

Posted by: Little Wing

hmmmm okkkay. a nice headrush convinced me to add some fruit and eggs so a modified cleanse i guess is in order. plus i want to try adding another 5lbs to my benchpress this weekend.

Posted by: Little Wing

i just did 10, 8, 6 with an added 10 pounds.

as long as nothing hurts as bad as the faces Arnold can make while working out i guess i'll live through it eh?

Congrats on the weight addition!!!

Posted by: Little Wing

thanks. now for the rest of the workout...

Posted by: Little Wing

added another 5 to my bench press n made it to 6 reps might have tried 1 more if Tesla had been spotting me...

i added back extensions to my workouts recently. they're tough... akk.

Posted by: Little Wing

Posted by: Little Wing

just a newsbrief .... i added 15 pounds to my bench yesterday! n monday i thought there was no way i'd be able to add 5 this weekend...

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm going to need to buy more weights.

15 lbs more than i did wednesday...

with this scrawny thing

which makes me 10 short of my goal of 75 soooo i'm thinking 100 is not as impossible as i thought.

and thanks

Posted by: Archangel

Hey, that arm is looking pretty good Sister Wing!!! Your goal is VERY attainable, you just gotta BELIEVE!!!

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm using 60 to bench 12, 8, 6 but still am doing a few before n after w 65.

sometimes i get 7 sometimes 4.

i just figure to let my arms know i'm expecting more of them.

i'm getting sick of eggs but i finally got my son to try an omelet and he said "we should have this every day for breakfast."

Vanity said i have a dent in my arm.

Posted by: Little Wing

http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html

ask Vanity a question and wow, nice answer

. i had a few areas i want to hit that i feel maybe i'm missing. making workout n nutrition charts tomorrow. planning to intensify things for a bit n see how it goes. i'm aching here n there but nothing major back, thighs, arms...

Posted by: Little Wing

http://www.exrx.net/Articulations/Hip.html#anchor845056

this site is great

Posted by: Little Wing

my chest feels tight from worrying it's tough when people you love have health issues. i'm still planning on a kickass work out tonite and am wondering if it will relieve my stress some.

today i am going thru my wardrobe and getting rid of a second wave of clothes as i continue to get smaller and tighter. i had planned to take some bb type pics by the 14th of march but i think it will just be jeans n a top till i put on some muscle that will actually show. Vanity says he sees some but i say it is just a start.

i want this...

http://www.bodysolid.com/Item.aspx?I...lid+Power+Rack

Posted by: Little Wing

cheat day omg i'm stuffed. a small chef salad w blue cheese dressing, 6 fried chicken breast fingers from Rick's market next door n 2 budweisers.

at about 9 cardio... and a couple lindt chocolate hearts from my son aka romeo.

he says he has baby disorder he has to stay small n be my guy forever.

i bought a cookbook today that has a ton of healthy bean recipes. beans have about half the calories as an equal amount of rice n my son has announced he's going vegetarian.

Posted by: boilermaker

Careful with the beans and budweiser combo

Posted by: Little Wing

usually beans cooked very plainly will not produce much gas n i'm not sure if beer does? now i'm going to be wondering lol. oatmeal on the other hand is very dependable for that.

Posted by: Archangel

Thanks for those websites, they will come in handy!!! Hows it goin Sister Wing???

Posted by: Little Wing

going good.

Vanity just gave me another bellydancing instructional vid. i only had one. it keeps things fun and it is surprising how much better you can be at that when you are developing muscle strength all over your body. and the websites are great for keepng your regular workouts fresh. trying new stuff is cool. i really like back extensions and some excercises i do w my exercise ball. i'll dig those links up too. Vanity rocks.

Posted by: Little Wing

been busy but still sticking w working out except today...

not puking but my son was sunday morning and i feel a lot closer to doing it myself than is comfortable. taking it easy tonite, going to bed fairly early n hoping to be up to a good workout tomorrow.

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm sooo sick.

Posted by: boilermaker

My whole family is sick. You need a new avi an sig. The current ones freak me out.

Posted by: Little Wing

went through my family too first Ty then Tesla then my turn... akk. as for the sig i'm looking for the less undead version of her pic like i used to have.

Posted by: boilermaker

who is "her"

Posted by: Little Wing

not sure just a pic i found online.

fighting a headache that won't friggin quit today but other than that i feel like i'm ready for a good workout tomorrow. cleaned house today n came too close to blacking out to screw with weights today. eating healthy, drinking plenty of water and took my vitamins so tomorrow ... my chest still feels tight but maybe that's just stress...

i've lost some bodyfat overall during the im contest but more to go n a lot of firming to work at.

my stomach hurt like a bitch yesterday but i still worked out. i was able to still handle the same weight but today i have a stiff neck and am wondering if maybe that's why. feels good to back at it tho stiff neck or not.

Posted by: b_reed23

I think the pics look great...that pic of you and the chicken with is....

!!!!!!!

Posted by: Little Wing

thanks n i like the chicken wing pic too.

Posted by: Little Wing

been crazy busy lately but i just cut a couple of my sons daily activities at his request which will add about 8 hrs a week to my leisure time. i'm homeschooling him after the incident at his school and my daughter has opted to be tutored at home rather than go to school. so the pace is slowing and i'm ready to take a nap.... well it was a long damn day and i just ate a huge steak smothered in onions. i eat red meat maybe twice a year. will wake up n work out at 10:00

Posted by: Little Wing

ok red meat... just waking up now. kidding.

Tesla is doing excellent w a tutor all a's n Tyler loves me teaching him so things are pretty cool lately.

I lost about half the fat i needed to between dec n now so time to start phase two and lose the second half. i've started taking walks with Tyler so exploring is usually a couple hours of all terrain walking a little climbing over things n some mud hole avoidance or leaping fun. n getting sort of lost in the woods once. akk.

I haven't gained any weight back but i have softened up a bit due to not following my daily exercise routine. Back at it today tho n will post daily.

my bikini top pics speak for themselves.... they say get a breast lift. lol.

Posted by: Little Wing

last year i went over the handlebars of my bike n into a ditch at 90 miles an hour. i didn't get hurt at all. last weekend i layed wrong watching movies w my kids n have been screaming w pain. it's in my shoulderblade. so my lifting is waiting a bit. but i'm walking w my daughter when it's not raining.

Perky tits are nice when you are 15 but when you grow up womans breasts are much better

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm all growed up then.

thanks david. i lifted today for the first time since mothers day. i'm getting old i guess i just laid wrong watching movies with my kids n my back hated me for it. i took it a little easy n the only pain was in the opposite shoulderblade.
i picked up a treadmill today at a yard sale. it has been rainy and cold here too often. belly dancing is still more funny than sexy so far but it's improving.

Bellydancing..... depends on how you move it dictates how sexy it may be. If you have a video of you dancing, I can make that judgement for you. ** Clothes optional!

I don't know why I'm doning this, but I'm definitely going to agree with Foreman. You still need to get rid of the dead girl Avi. Nice progress

i'm getting good at hip moves but it will be a bit before i'm ready to show video footage. i have a clip of my son doing it though n it's hilarious.

i would have a breast lift if i was sure of safety and results but almost every man will say they prefer a natural woman. i guess i will settle for exercise and caring for my health. for now...

Like Shakira?

Posted by: Little Wing

man i don't think anyone can do it as good as shakira but i made a dvd of her videos n it's fun trying. i put a huge mirror up yesterday n today threw out another bunch of now too loose pants. when i get into the black suede pants maybe i'll put up a vid. i thought of taking a pic today of how much of my ass i can't fit in them yet. lol.

Posted by: Little Wing

oh man! ouch. ok so i let one day of not working out lead to another and another for too long. i did some here n some there but nothing consistent at all.
i'm back at it since sunday and it feels like i've been away forever. my body hurts good tho. i just need to remember to take a few breaths before standing up cuz low blood pressure is a bitch n i've nearly blacked out twice.

my diet has been steady and consistent anyway. clean and healthy so i haven't added weight just got soft

i finally figured out i could weigh my bar... duh. so i did and i'm benching only 50 pounds but with, i think, really good form at least. i had to take 10 off from what i was using before to be able to make it to 10, 8,6.

the humidity in maine sucks so bad it can make me feel like i'm suffocating so slow n steady with the cardio instead of my heart racing too fast. i can still see it jumping like a rabbit in my chest and the sweat is pouring but i can breathe ok.

Posted by: fufu

Keep it up! It's always a little difficult to get back into to groove.

Posted by: Little Wing

thanks it sucks so bad how one bad day adds up to so many so fast.

oh man... thighs hurt? check. calves? check. arms? check. ass? check.... lungs burning? yea.. am i done? hell no!

music cranked? check.

Posted by: fufu

Go go go!

Posted by: b_reed23

how's it going?? Been bellydancing, or lifting??

Posted by: Little Wing

lifting, stairstepper and ab work not as much dancing but the stretches from that are great to warm up with.

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm doing better sticking with my workouts than i am posting about them although today is the second day sitting on my ass getting my programs back on my pc after installing a new hard drive. the cooler weather makes cardio a lot more enjoyable. i'm glad i bought the treadmill but i still like my stepper better and a better sound system in my workout room keeps things more fun too.

another size of levi's is getting a little low on the hips to hang onto. i hate giving my perfectly worn in jeans up grrr. luckily i hoard levi's so there's always a fresh pair waiting to break in. :P

my freaking camera lens is jammed, it won't go in or out n the repair shop is telling me his backed up so maybe 8 weeks

. i think i'll just buy a back up in the meantime.

We demand videos of you dancing like shakira. You have 24 hours to hand over the tapes.

Posted by: Little Wing

i've been working my arms harder and they feel like my butt, sore. lol. the bottom is improing tho

. my ass is smallish but at least i don't have to start w a fatty cottage cheese one n whittle it down. i just have to add more muscle.

argh. today i was eating chicken just because i have to not enjoying it at all and i had a great idea. "can't i just puree this shit n drink it?"

So that's how the protein shake was invented.

god i'm *overly vulger word* sick of chicken.

Posted by: fufu

lawl, I've thought the same thing. Plain dry chicken always gets to me. I wish I could just injest it without all the chewing nonsense.

lol, I thought you said you were sick of children, nawt chicken.

That is a good idea. You could mix it with some chicken brooth, it might be great.
Instead of beefcake you make chickencake.

Posted by: Little Wing

i think i'll just switch to salmon for a while. if i see more chicken i may never eat again. the thing is i hit another one of those weight loss stalls where i have to add more food for a couple days to convince my body i'm not starving or some crap. it works like a *overly vulger word* but

. i'm shopping today and no way in hell am i buying chicken.

i'm buying a new camera soon and putting up new pics. not sure about anyone else but i find photos highly motivating.

a brief bout of sleepless nights and no appetite really illustrated how important rest and diet are. i barely made my reps after the 5th day but all is well now n i'm sleeping like a baby.

That is a great idea. Pictures help us to see how far we have come which can really motivate us. Just out of curiosity, where would you rate yourself now, compared to the picture in you myspace page?

Actually, I do this sometimes. I'll take a cooked chicken breast, chop it up into large chunksl; quarter Onion, rough chop; 1/2 pepper, rough chop; handful of mushrooms, whole. Pulse the chicken with the chopper blade a couple of times. Add onion and mushies. Pulse a couple more times, add pepper. Remove top and add grind some pepper corns, drizzle olive oil and splash some balsamic vinegar. Pulse until desired consistency. Serve with ww wrap or eat like healthy mans chicken salad.

Edit: Actually, I double or triple the ingredients above so I only have to clean up the processor and cutting board once

Then I eat it 2 or 3 times. You can add whatever spices or fresh herbs you want. Just a way to

up chick breast fatigue.

which pic. most were taken from sept to march this year but the two winged ones are older. i like them obviously but unless i have a face lift n boob lift i'll never look quite that good again. surgery is known to leave women looking like freaks far too often so i'll probably never go there just try n do the best i can with what i've got, which ain't too *overly vulgar word* shabby.

Little Wing, you look better and are smarter than most 20 year olds. Good job.

Posted by: Little Wing

thank you sir. n my dragon thanks you also.

I'll agree with bake here on the looks and I'll correct him by saying you are better spoken and more intelligent than ALL 20 year olds.

Cool Tattoo. I rate your body a 10/10, and I am not just saying that to be nice. You have a perfect figure and great skin. I would kill to have your skin color and complexion.
Apparently, you have taken very good care of yourself. My boss’s mother is the same way. She has always eaten healthy fresh foods, usually homegrown or organic. Have you eaten healthy most of your life or is it luck of the dice?

Posted by: Little Wing

Thanks

. i started staying out of the sun maybe 20 years ago and that makes a big difference but my skin started looking really good when i joined here n gradually gave up my bad habits for good ones.

i think because i hardly ever eat anything with perservatives and don't use salt much makes a huge difference as does giving up coffee which i'm doing once again. i drink a ton of water and diluted juice and use a men's product in the shower Axe Snake Peel it will sand your ass smooth believe me. lol

i'm definately going to have a little loose skin on my belly unless i get a tuck like Mrs. Dimaggio did but i think i can live with it. like foreman says no shame in looking like a woman. maybe not how he words it exactly but

I know you love Salmon. How come you don't eat more Lobster living up there? Isn't it cheap compared to the midwest. here we pay about $10 a pound for Lobsters up to 1.25#. More if they are over

Posted by: Little Wing

was $7 a pound today salmon was $7.99 but just 2 seconds after i said i'll take those 3 pieces n will you please cut them up into 4 pieces each the woman marked it $5.99. cool deal. i also bought a ton of shrimp. Lobster is good but i usually buy it for a seafood chowder with scallops that i make my dad on father's day n maybe twice during the summer.

I've got a neat and tidy shrimp/salmon/veggie/rice in tomatoe based sauce that I do. I make a huge batch and freeze portions. The recipie is over in Diet and Nutrition if you are interested. It reheats well and covers all the p/c/f requirements for the health concious.

The cool thing is you can make it with any seafood and the ratios come out the same. Depending on who I'm making it for initially, I've also used mussels, scallops and crab for the seafood portion.

i have a few bodybuilding books in a nice zip file available to download to anyone's interested. some good stuff. pm me.

Posted by: Little Wing

i added more reps. i'm not sure what working till exhaustion means but am doing them on each set till i can't do any more. hurts so good.

my diet, as always, is squeaky clean. i'm losing weight but at a nice slow pace.

i got so sick of chicken it's not even funny and ate salmon, a lot of salmon. turkeys will be available soon and i'll start making soups and stews again.

Posted by: fufu

I'm getting sick of chicken too. I almost gagged today eating it.

Chicken sucks, I refuse to it anymore.

supper tonite is salmon :P my muscles in my arms n shoulders are sore n i had a little back pain last night. my legs feel like i worked them. i lost another 10 pounds. i guess to me that's the amount to crow about losing 2 is bleh when you get to ten it's cool.

Posted by: fufu

looking toward christmas shopping. scoped out some heavybags today. at a gym i went to years ago there was a chair that was made for doing crunches. the seat tilted backwards simple n effective. i want to find one. i'll post a pic if i get lucky.

Posted by: Little Wing

today the backs of my thighs are ouch. i like it tho. it still surprises me when i feel my legs n they are hard. my bodyfat is lower now than in years but i notice what fat i do have more. one thing i like is my boobs have finally gotten the message and are getting smaller

ah be quiet if they don't no one will ever notice the rest of me.

Posted by: Little Wing

no huge gains but getting tighter and harder.

eventually i will be able to rip a man's head off with my thighs. just in case i ever need to

oct 21st.....

i'm at the lowest weight i have been at since my daughter was born. i have steadily lost weight and gotten in better shape since i joined im. i'm at the point now where i can meet my goals easily by new years with a bit of effort.
dieting is not a problem for me at all. eating right is just a habit now and "bad" foods are more disgusting than appealing.

however.... working out hard enough is a challenge. i go in spurts. and i am not one to do anything as it "should" be done. So

i am going to be writing in here every day and keeping a pain diary. if it doesn't hurt it isn't getting better and i like the feeling of a body part that aches from working it. too many days lately nothing feels the sting of any effort at all. and i'll try to speak english.

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm going to go hurt myself now. bodybuilding ..... the sport of the emo.

Posted by: Little Wing

i kinda like this pic. my face has thinned out a lot but i stopped dying my hair n i want a hard body to offset those grays by my ears. :P

my belly is smaller but too soft.

i'll take some more this is the fat i want to lose / changes i want to make pics later.

Posted by: Little Wing

ok n here is my crazy maniacal look.

Posted by: Little Wing

i'm getting a heavy bag. not so much to punch as to kick. the idea being to strengthen and build muscle in my legs and ass. good idea or not?

Posted by: Little Wing

not bad goals eh?

Posted by: fufu

Posted by: Little Wing

hi

. okay today my biceps, shoulders, backs of my thighs and calves hurt. i added 15 pounds to leg curls and really had to fight to eek out a set but it was manageable. i added 5lbs to the lot of exercises i do for my tri and bi ceps.

food oatmeal with peaches, egg whites with a splash of newman's own pasta sauce and fat free parm. diluted orange juice and coffee. supper will be sweet potato, semi rare tuna steak and a salad.

Posted by: fufu

What does your program look like?

Posted by: Burner02

Hey chica!
I like the 'smiley' picture!
What kind of bag are you gonna get? A 'Heavy' bag for kicking? Might hurt yourself. Do a search. Instead of a hanging bag, get one that has the base you can fill w/ water or sand. (also not as heavy)
Have you ever been trained to kick a bag? (sounds silly, but the same as lifting: there is a right and wrong way)
But, do two minute 'flurries' both punching and kicking..and WHEW! You'll be whooped in no time...

exrecise 30 minutes bike

10 minutes stepper

weights
bench presses
leg curls
leg extensions
dumbell flies

these are the basics n i don't vary much from there except back extensions, squats, dumbell curls, some tricep stuff and ab exercises. i want a speedbag too....

hi and thanks. i'll probably just get a regular heavybag that comes with a hanging rack and a speedbag. one of my brothers offered to come teach me to wrap my hands and teach me the basics so that i don't screw myself up. my legs are really strong but my muscles are long and lean no mass. this is my natural body type

so having any size is going to be hard.

there's a fine line between long and lean and too skinny. i'm 5'9" and the shortest one in my family my mom is 5"11" i'm the runt my brothers are 6'6" and 6'8" michael can beat anyone arm wrestling but his arms are long and pretty much skinny.

i like my body but i'm kinda wondering how hard it's going to be to look at all muscular.

Sister Wing, Thank you for the KISS thing in my journal, I LOVE it!!! Hope all is well for you and yours!!!

Posted by: Tom_B

The Rest = YOUR BACK!

Sorry to say this .. but to put it bluntly that routine is horrible. there is no structure, it's all isolation movements, and even the arrangement of the exercises are poor! ..
Yes, to have a great 'toned' body like the women you posted requires you to hit the weights hard, But it also requires you to hit them smartly

Why not go to the training section and get some help on putting together a routine that hits all your body parts, incorporates compound movements, and actually has a proper layout as opposed to the 'do what you feel like' so that you can actually see progress!
I think it would help your goals tremondously ..

Posted by: Little Wing

what rest? was a joke... like rest = sleep what's that?

n ok ok i'll develop a more thorough routine

i've been trying other exercises from the site above. i'm looking at a bench tomorrow that has attatchments to do different exercises. i'm getting a heavy bag so i added exercises for my wrists, wrist curls and reverse wrist curls, i do concentration curls already but didn't know what they are called.... i use a pillow on my leg for padding :/ . i was doing dumbell bent over rows so i guess i had some back stuff going. i could try a barbell pullover... with just the bar maybe

pillow on your leg? Where are you positioning your tricep/elbow?

last night in the process of setting up the rack for my heavy bag i dropped the top half to the main support on my toe. it bled like crazy and i have a 1/3 of an inch cut at the base of the nail that's deep enough so i'll lose the nail. so after i set my bag up it looked pretty hardcore with puddles of blood under it

it didn't hurt much. tonite i'll put the speed back up. akk

Posted by: Little Wing

i really like the new equipment. and Tyler has been very into it too. right now though Tesla is watching a MCR dvd and threatened to kill us if we don't quit it with the speed bag

my brother sold me a pair of 25lb dumbells for 10 bucks and now i have him on the lookout for more weights.

i still probably do more what i feel like than have a great routine but once i'm settled in Bangor i'm joinging a gym and will have help making sure all the bases are covered.

being a girl rocks. guys don't get to be excited about shopping for workout clothes. Ty has had dr. appointments in Bangor n since we were there anyway

i stocked up on white ck t-shirts n thongs to work out in. ty works out in batman boxers. fess up who else does?

Bangor, Portland, just a few places there were going. They tried to go on some seal tour thing earlier.

Posted by: naturaltan

morning

Posted by: Little Wing

hi nt.

i'm moving to bangor this month. it's a great place and right next to orono where i went to college. my daughter is a sophmore and i'll be able to provide her with things there that i can't here like guitar and voice lessons. karate etc for my son.... n uh shopping for us all.

Posted by: Burner02

sophmore? Wasn't she just like...12...yesterday???Oi...they grow up so fast!

Posted by: Little Wing

yea she was a baby yesterday and a young woman this morning.

the heavy bag and speed bag are turning out to be very fun. the heavy bag tho makes it obvious that there is room for improving strength in my wrists. if i don't i think injury is just a matter of time. i thought my toe was healed enough for kicking but hmmm fresh bleeding says maybe not.

i'm in a slump with the dieting and thought i'd try ATW Optimum Protein Blend, Lean & Fit Meal Replacer, Lean Fuel Extreme and Satiety SRT.

any recommendations? so far i've heard the vanilla and banana flavors of the whey are best.

Posted by: Burner02

oof...I just curled my toe as I imagined you kicking yours into the bag...owie!

So..just do shin kicks or knees...
Besides the wrist exercises...just make sure to wrap really well.

Are you doing two minute flurries yet? That will wear you out....

Have an electronic timer you can use?
My sensei has one at the dojo that he uses...times in 30, 60, 120 sec + intervals.

Posted by: Little Wing

um, 2 minutes is a long goddamned time

i need a timer i can step on to start i mean if you have gloves on n all that it makes sense. a 9 year old boy works too but i don't step on him

i haven't heard the end of "mom, let's work out" since we got the new toys.

my toe barely hurts but i wish my camera worked so i could take a pic. you can see the whole back end of the nail is straight across and detatched. i can lift it up...

Posted by: Burner02

well..it sounds fortunate that the camera DOESN"T work...ewww...dead toenail...

Maybe look up o ebay. (I can't from work..dam cyber nazis have this place all kinds of locked down)
His timer is continuous: Always sounds off at regular intervals until you tur it off. Nothing fancy, just works.

Well, work up to the 2 minutes. Start w/ 30 second rounds. 30 on, 30 off.
build up.

i think "just do it" is the best saying ever. i'm stressed n exhausted and want to just crawl into bed and sleep for a week. instead i'll go mail a letter n sleep a couple hours n get back to all the bs wearing me out. then i'll work out anyway even tho i don't feel like it n i'll be glad i did.

the thinner i get the longer my legs look and kicking the heavy bag is fun. i feel it most after in the fronts of my thighs. there should be height measures on bags i can kick at i think my neck level pretty easy any higher i'd be kicking chain n i have the bag as high as it will go. it's a gold's gym set up with a 100lb bag. my bag is longer than the one shown here.

Posted by: Little Wing

yep, i had a really good work out last night. started with the stepper then weights n heavy bag and some yoga. i think music too is great to get you going and kicking the heavy bag with a sore toe reminded me on a saying we use all the time in my house that rivals "just do it" which is "cowboy up"

i never did have that nap, instead Ty n i took a walk in the rain. it is surprising how many cats want to be your friend and follow you home when it's wet out

i don't need another cat but one seemed to think she belonged at a house where the people have moved away

. i think i'll take another walk there today.

i decided to cut two things from my diet that i use a lot n are in the crap food category. diet cola, which will be hard cuz i'm not giving up the JD, and coffee creamer because i like the sweetened stuff with a lot of weird shit in it. i know it just is a short time till your tastes change. already a lot of foods are gross to me because all i can taste is the excess of salt in them like salsa and mayo. i still put pepper on eggs tho.

n burner i switched to plain milk in my coffee. i like it that way anyway so it's not a big sacrifice.

fufu, i just am in a slump. i like the stuff i usually do but am in a phase of lacking the motivation to do it. it's a seasonal think i think. it gets dark by 4pm and i'm sleeping 12 or more hours at nite now... and i just splurged on some great bedding

so i don't see that changing.
