Working hard...playing hard

Posted by: Adidas

As one of the new girls on the block, I decided to give this online journal a shot.

All I can tell you specifically is that I am 5'6". I probably weigh about 145lbs. I have not been on a scale since I started working out seriously back in November. At that time I was weighed and my bf was calculated. I didn't want to become focused on the numbers so I never asked what they were. I will be taking pics and posting soon.

I am at the gym 6 days a week. M,W,F are lifting days with 20 minutes of cardio. T and Thurs are RPM classes. Saturday I head to the gym for a quick but hard run.

Today I woke up at 4:45am, had some eggbeaters before heading to the gym for RPM. I usually don't eat before the gym but I am trying something different.

Post work was a Myoplex shake and later on followed by oatmeal. Had to snack on a banana and then lunch consisted of 2 cups of chicken and 2 cups of broccoli/cauliflower/carrots. I had to guess on those amounts

During the course of the day I will drink at minimun of 6 liters of water. I also take flaxseed oil capsules and green tea capsules with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Tomorrow's work out will be legs...my favorite!

Until next time.....

Sounds like you're already on track

If you'd like further opinions on your diet and workout... post away!!! We can't resist giving opinions

Who the hell is this? And why are you here? Who invited you?

Posted by: Adidas

Who invited me here is a secret

But now that I found this place, you won't be able to get rid of me

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Oh no....I guess we should all consider ourselves warned....

Girl..there is no way you way 145! I know you are against getting on the scale, but it's just not right...once you post pics I know everyone will say the same thing.

Anyway..I'm glad you started a journal!

Posted by: Adidas

I am telling you if I don't weigh 145 it is within that range. Maybe I'll jump on the scale..ha ha

It took me long enough to start a journal. Hopefully it won't take me nearly as long before I post a few pics.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Do you have a digital camera? Even if you don't...we can take the pics at the gym...maybe even some of us together! Of course, I will look like a couch potato compared to you!

Posted by: Adidas

The digital camera I use is broken

Thanks for the offer. Are you kidding?! You look great! You are by no means a couch potato...you are more focused than me.

I just need to fix my diet.

Posted by: craig777

Welcome to the journals Adidas

and my personal opinion is that Miss LeDix is beautiful, hot, and sexy so if she is a couch potato compared to you I think pictures would be really good.

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks Craig777!

I am my worst critic. Miss LeDix is great motivation both here on the boards and in the gym. She is far from a couch potato

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Ha! You are too funny...I have a digital camera we can use if you want. You are really wierd about photos....!

Craig, my young padawan, you have truely mastered the art of flattery.

Tuesday 3:00pm - Carb Solutions High Protein Bar (Chocolate Cappuccino Crisp) and just finished my fifth liter of water. It looks like I will surpass my 6 liter minimun for the day. Still not sure what's for dinner.

WELCOME ADIDAS!!!
I am glad you finally got yourself a journal!!! I am sure Miss Ledix has warned u about the guys here... just ignore them!!
Good luck! Looks like your already doing great though..and don't need any luck!

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks Stacey! I am excited to be able to get feedback from everyone.

Miss LeDix has warned me about the guys around here

Posted by: Princess

Everyone is great here! You will get a lot of help and support!
I'm glad shes warned you!!

Posted by: craig777

Man, you give a lady a compliment and they drag you through the mud.

Posted by: Adidas

Craig...come on now, being dragged through the mud could be fun..ha ha

Posted by: craig777

Well it looks like you are gonna have fun here.

Just wait till Albob comes back.

Are you sure you are friends with Miss LeDix, the defender of the non-pornal.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Adidas, what have you started here? This journal will be Pornality Central Station if you don't be careful!

Hi Adidas

Any friend of Miss L is welcome!

Looks like you have a great plan, exercise and eating-wise! What does RPM stands for?

OK, so we have Adidas and we have Nike_girl, and Nikegurl. I think I'll change my name to Skechers now... Love their shoesies!

Posted by: butterfly

Here's a tip...

Post your food for the day in one post... there is an edit/delete feature you can use to update it throughout the day. Keeping your food in one post let's you and us keep track better.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

RPM is Spinning, and indoor cycling class. But I honestly can't remember or just don't know what RPM stands for....

Posted by: butterfly

Ok... here's a list of the guys you should watch out for...

Craig... you already met him and RoCK... they really are sweetie pies who like looking at hotties.

Twin Peak... gives great diet and exercise advice

tgkfour1... still kind of a newbie but seems pretty cool

dvlmn... haven't figured him out yet

Then there is Kuso, Albob, and Pitboss... the KING of Pornality!!!

...let's see, who did I forget???

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks Ann! I will sure to put those guys on my list

Posted by: Miss LeDix

...and dg806...and Dero....and Twin Peak (although he is not directly pornal, he likes to enjoy the fringe benefits of the other pornal offenders).

I am deeply offended!

You turn your back and look what happens. At least SOMEONE appreciates me....thanks Butterfly!!

So I am indirectly pornal, hmmm, I guess I'll have to work on being more direct than! I like how you catergorize it Miss L -- "fringe benefits" huh, ummm, aren't you the one PESTERING ME for some pics? You think we don't see right through you?

Anyway adidas, this is my long winded way of saying welcome!!!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

TP..if you look closely, you'll see that butterfly edited her original post. You weren't even mentioned in the first draft of her post...I'm sure she saw mine and felt obligated to mention you or something like that..

..and I don't appreciate being called a pest!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Ouch! Oh well....my ego can stand it. So I don't make the top of her list, at least I got honorable mention!

And if you look closely you'll see that I didn't call you a pest, I said that you had been pestering (the difference is a verb versus a noun). And I notice that you don't deny it...its b/c you can't!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

You said I had been PESTERING you...as in I was 'doing' the verb of the noun PEST. You better stop it now!

kuso, don't make me annoyed with you as well as with TP!

LOL....I think I know when you are kidding by now.

And you know I like it when you yell at me

Today is a cardio day only....45 minutes of spin class this morning. I am lifting M,W,F with 20 minutes of cardio on those days. On Tues and Thurs I do 45 minutes of cardio (spin class) and then on Saturday I run.
I feel that my biggest obstacle right now is my diet. I feel like I am hitting a wall.

Posted by: kuso

Well thats something I`m not even going to try and help you with........I`m in a dieting slump right now

Slowly trying to get things in place to kick some ass from the end of the month.

Snack - chicken fingers

Fat free cool whip is becoming a problem for me. I have to have it...lol

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Adidas! I was starving when I left the gym...you'll never guess what I ate...a Balance bar..with 16 grams of sugar!

But they didn't have any Lean Body bars that I like...and I didn't want to spend three dollars on another bar that I may not like. I knew the Balance bar would be good...and it was!

Hope you are feeling better!

Posted by: Adidas

I can not believe that you ate one! You of all people...ha ha Guess what? You will live to tell about it...lol

I had to give up the Balance Bars that I like b/c they contained 17grams of sugar. They are so good, but now they are a treat every once in a great while.

I am feeling better. Thanks for asking

Posted by: kuso

Miss P, is there a lean body bar that you actually enjoy??

Posted by: Adidas

Dale and Jennifer taught. Dale taught for the 1st hr and the Jennifer for the second. Both of them are GREAT! I like them better than Kate (one who teaches on Thurs) and it was almost all new music!

What's a fed shredder?

Posted by: Adidas

Miss LeDix,

What competition were you talking about this morning in Oct? You have peaked my curiosity? Spelling error above...I've changed it

Thanks

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Look in your most recent Oxygen magazine, in the back with the competition calendar...there is some sort of Figure competition here in October, I think we should both try to compete!

Posted by: Adidas

I will have to take a look at the tonight. That would be a great idea.

Posted by: Twin Peak

Go for it!

Posted by: dvlmn666

yeah, I agree go for it.

Posted by: Adidas

I can't speak for Miss LeDix .... I would love to do it but I find it a little intimidating.

Posted by: dvlmn666

Don't think of it as intimidating. Use it as a learning experience, and a challenge. That may make it easier.

Posted by: Adidas

It's amazing it one of those you can look at things as a weakness or as an opportunity. I just want to make sure I'd be ready.

The diet part is what makesme nervous. That will be the most difficult for me.

Posted by: dvlmn666

Dieting is my worst battle, so I hear ya on that part. But I think you could do it this addes a little incentive to stick with it.

Posted by: Adidas

I agree with you completely. I think it maybe not knowing all that much about competitions. I will have to go to a few (Miss LeDix...care to join me?) and see first hand what it is all about.

Plus with a support group like everyone here how can you not make a go of it

Posted by: dvlmn666

yep, just like it helped me get second on that stupid fat loss competition over at mm.com. It was fun but sucks I lost to somebody who is a moderator on the site.

That woudl be cool, I have to check out some competitions around here to. I think it would be cool to just be around those people to get even more motivated. Thanks for the idea.

Now Miss LDix..................I know at some times I can be sorta pornal, But have I ever given you a hard time???? I try to be respectful of those that want it!!!

BTW...............hello Adidas!!!

Posted by: Adidas

Hello dg806.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Sure, we could check out a few competitions. I've never seen one...I think it would be neat. We can ask Mary, I know she goes to them...

I'm with you...I don't know if I could eat strict enough to compete...and at least you have Trey on your side with the training.

I'm eating a turkey burger we made last night on the George Foreman grill...don't forget to bring me that article!

Posted by: Adidas

Yeah but Trey is not going to be around forever.... and it's the diet that will be the killer.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Are you firing Trey soon? Or was that just a generic statement?

You can ask Trey and Billy for thier opinion tomorrow, kay?

KEY LIME PIE - my favorite!

I want to know if you liked the bar. I tried that Pure Protien one today and it was NASTY! I will never buy it again. Had to have the hubbie eat most of it. And where did you get the Key Lime Pie? I love that stuff! Publix makes a great one!

Posted by: kuso

I have a copuple of questions for you ladies....one which was asked before and you ignored me

IS there a protien bar that isn`t nasty? And what is a Key Lime Pie??

Posted by: Miss LeDix

kuso, I really truly enjoy the taste of Labrada Lean Body Peanut Butter flavored bar. Thier Low Carb Pecan Pie bar is also good.

I will now do research on Key Lime pie and get back to you with more info...

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Here is a photo and some information on Key Lime Pie, taken from: http://www.blondgiraffe.com/keylimepie.html

Very few dishes typify the taste of Key West as much as Key lime pie. Made with the tiny, greenish-yellow fruits also known as Mexican or West Indian lime, Key lime pie is believed to have arrived in Key West with the Bahamian settlers. The limes come originally from Southeast Asia, and were introduced to Haiti by the explorer Columbus in 1493. With their unique, extra tart flavor, Key limes lend themselves beautifully to tarts and desserts, most notably Key lime pie. Even tourists arriving on a cruise ship, with only hours to spare, will enjoy a slice of the pie when they touch down in Key West. Island shops abound with both ingredients and recipes for making the pie at home, including bottles of genuine, Key lime juice, and it is easy to believe that all Key lime pies are created equal...Not so at all!
While any post card or bottle of juice will provide the instructions for a foolproof pie (egg yolks, key lime juice and sweetened, condensed milk poured into a graham cracker crust), real chefs, particularly those of Key West's finer restaurants, treat their Key lime pie as an important, signature dish, and variations abound. The Key West Key Lime Pie Festival arose to settle the dispute over which chef prepares the best one. The first competition took place in November, 1999. Many restaurants entered their pies, but in the end, the Blond Giraffe Key Lime Pie Factory claimed the prestigious FIRST PLACE: the best Key lime Pie in Key West. The recipe was handed down from owner Tania Beguinati's grandmother. The pie features a delicate pastry crust, a tart custard filling and a particularly rich, downy meringue.

I haven`t tried thier PB yet, but the pecan pie doesn`t do much for me....the first bite is great, but I`m struggling by the end.

Thanks for the info on the Key Lime Pie....it looks just like a pie we have in OZ called a Lemon Meringue Pie!!! WAY too sweet for me.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

I like the PB, but not the low carb PB, just the regular. It's shocking that I actually like the Pecan Pie flavor as well.

We have Lemon Meringue pie here as well...but key lime is so much better!!

Posted by: kuso

Oh....I`ve only ever had the low carb ones.....maybe thats why I thought they all tasted like sticky chalk

Posted by: Adidas

Miss LeDix - I LOVE that pic!!! When I cheat which is usually either Friday or Saturday dinner that usually include Key Lime Pie or sometimes apple pie if Key Lime is not available

As for protein bars, I am jumping on the band wagon with Miss LeDix on the Lean Body peanut butter. I tired it and actually like it. I also like Pure Protein smores, carb solutions cappuccino crisp. The guys at the gym swear that the Real Protein bars taste like a candy bar but I beg to differ.

And what's up with the Peter Pan pb...if you're going to eat that crap, at least eat the all natural kind...and I know where you can get it!!

You have a craving for a specific BRAND of PB? Interesting....

Posted by: Adidas

Not too badly thanks....how bout you??

BTW.....did you ever get back to me on that workout I asked about??

Posted by: Adidas

no...I am such a slacker. Here's my problem...I don't know the proper names of 1/2 these exercises I do so writing them down is hard

I am getting better as you can see...do I get credit for that?

Posted by: kuso

You want extra credit you`ll need to come over for some PERSONAL training

There is a link floating around somewhere that has a list of all movements and a gif demo......I`ll see if I can track it down

Posted by: Adidas

That would be GREAT! You are the best. Sign me up for extra credit...lol

I am going on vacation next week and hopefully I'll have some good pics to post when I get back.

Posted by: kuso

This thread is sounding better everytime I open it

Some personal time with Adidas....and she`s even willing to post the pic`s

We both live in 'the burbs'...I'm sure you understand that I wouldn't want to get more specific than that, right? Jonesboro is 'southside'....we live 'northside', somewhat. Atlanta is so huge!

That's interesting that you 'fell in love' with Georgia. I'm sure most of us would love to live in CA!

Oh, and Adidas is out of town this week. The gym is just not the same without her...it's way too quiet!

I looked into moving out there and was focusing on buying on the northside... seems a lot nicer

Gee we might have been neighbors.. LOL

Posted by: Adidas

I just wanted to say hi to all! My vacation is almost over! I head back to Atlanta tomorrow morning which means back to the gym and back to those healthy meals six times a day...lol I have enjoyed 8 days of rest and relaxation which included eating and drinking anything and everything my heart desired. I promised myself to stay out of the gym and have done just that. However, I can't wait to get back into my routine. All the working out has paid off...people were impressed to say the least. Those who are not familiar with us gym rats called me "China" from American Gladiators...Now I do not think I am that big

Hopefully, I will have some good pics to post.

Miss LeDix....the gym was quiet without me? Now there is a surprise?!? lol

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Sweetie! Don't think of this as a bad day, think of it as a new start! Cutting down on the protien is a good thing, I promise. Maybe one less bar per day, Myoplex Lite instead of regular Myoplex, a little Fiber One here, one apple there...you'll be fine and you'll do great!!

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks for the pep talk! You are right today is a new start!

Posted by: davidjasondean

Hello Adidas!

I just read your journal and I wish you good luck and the best!

I noticed your from Atlanta! I'll be there in 8 days to start destroying things! LOL! Just kidding!

Posted by: craig777

Hey Adidas, sorry I don't come in too often, but could I offer some advice.

You are doing all kinds of cardio and weights, but your food intake doesn't look that high. Have you ever determined the amount of calories you are taking in. Also calculate your BMR to see how many calories your body needs just to exist. You may be in a mode that your body will not shed fat stores for nothing. Can you cut out the protein bars.

I think you need to do what Leslie2196 needed to do eat more. Get your caloric intake at 2000 calories per day. It won't happen overnight, but you need to jump start your metabolism into burning fat again. It just isn't right.

Just my 2 cents, hope you don't mind.

Hope your day gets better.

Posted by: Adidas

Craig777....thanks for the advice! If I cut out the protein bars what would be a good substitution?

One point was that I was taking in too much protein. I guess my next question is how much protein should I be intaking? I am weighing in at 154-160...BF% is unknown. I promise Miss LeDix I would get it done ASAP

I have been taking about 100 grams of protein a day.

Looks like my average for the last three days is about 1080 cal (43% protein, 19%fat, 39%carbs).

Posted by: Adidas

My BMR is 1781.57...that was using my current weight. Obviously I am not eating enough
