And I will be sleeping soundly until my alarm goes off at 4:45am

I just want to say that I barely see Adidas anymore, with these new 20 minute cardio sessions she's barely at the gym at all.

I'm glad you are enjoying your new program. Good thing I suggested you contact DPw8! And your avatar is kewl too.

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks girly. It's funny b/c this is going to take me some getting used to. Since I am so scheduled and routined this has been an adjustment. Sleeping later on Tues and Thurs makes getting up M,W,F harder.

I wish I had known that Sue wasn't going to workout with you this morning. I would have joined you since I overslept for my leg workout on Wednesday.

That is my most filling meal of the day. Thank goodness b/c this morning I was starving!

Posted by: Twin Peak

me too, I am famished!

Posted by: Leslie

Yea I am pretty hungry today too- but I couldn't make chicken and after my next meal of beef and fish- Looks like the rest will be TUNA

Not looking fwd to two tuna meals in a row

TP- You have no right to be hungry! LOL I have seen your new diet!

Posted by: Adidas

Yeah TP..you enough for me and Leslie.

L - I am eating chicken back to back today. The hardest part for me is flax seed oil....YUCK!

Tonight I am going out with the girls and I made them schedule it around meal #5 for me

Plus I will be the one drinking water.

Posted by: Leslie

Good for you!

Get used to it, and soon enough they will too

Flax isn't too bad. I use it in tuna(can't taste it then). I also put it on my chicken but always with some Newmans Dressing. Then you can even taste it either!! It actually gives the chicken a lil tang

what ever you do: NEVER, EVER drink it straight

Posted by: Adidas

I did drink it straight up the first time

AWFUL!! I will try it on my chicken today. Lately, I have only had 2tsp per day, however DPw8 say that that will change..more to come. Needless to say my 1:00pm meal is not my favorite

Posted by: Leslie

LOL- Thats what I did at first too!

But seriously get some Newmans Cesear(not creamy) or Balsamic Vinagrette and use some flax and it's YUMMY> Actually its my fave

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks Leslie for the tip! Drinking flax seed oil is NOT an option

Posted by: Twin Peak

On this diet I am hungry after my workouts and 2 shakes, but no worries I have 10 oz of skirt steak waiting for me in 10 minutes. Usually after that meal I am full throughout the day. I think eating this much however will be difficult on non w/o days.

The odd thing is that I am normally an easy fat gainer. I once weighed 250 with a 48 inch waist. The odd thing is that as of this morning I dropped another pound down to 200.

Not Newmans

It has 3 g C (1g Sugar) and 9 g F for 2 Tbsps

I usually only use a lil more than 1 tbsp.

Posted by: kuso

Yeah....I remebered you posting something good about it once before, thats why I was surprised when I read it

Posted by: Twin Peak

I like balsamic vinegar and unless you are drinking it the carbs are minimal.

Saturday, August 6

Last night I went out with the ladies, of course I had to schedule it around my meal

They wanted mexican food, so I sat there with my water amongst their tacos, nachos, and beer. Needless to say it is a GOOD THING my friends are so supportive. However, they did ask when I will be able to go and eat out again...LOL

I knew I was going to catch up on my sleep this weekend. Slept for 12 hours last night. So my first meal was at 11am.

Meal 1 (11am)
5 egg whites
2 whole eggs
2 oz. ground beef
1 small apple

Off to lift legs...my favorite

Legs...

Leg extensions - 3 supersets (100 reps total)
Leg curls - 3 supersets (75 reps total)
Leg press 180x30, 180x30, 180x30, 180x10
Inclided Hackslide 70x25, 70x25, 70x25
Standing calf raises 120x20, 150x20, 180x20, 180x20

Meal 2 (1:30pm)
44g protein
3tbl heavy cream
5 strawberries

Meal 3 (4:30pm)
4.5 oz chicken
1/2 cup brown rice
2 tsp flax seed oil..STRAIGHT UP

Meal 4 (6pm)
44g protein
3tbl heavy cream
5 strawberries

My day was totally off schedule

. First I sleep last and then I go to a baseball game...therefore missing meal 5! BUT I did manage to say no to hot dogs and beer..hard to do at a baseball game

By the time I got home I went straight to bed. Should I have eaten at 11:30pm when I got home?

Posted by: kuso

Have a great workout

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks KUSO... Stay out of trouble

Posted by: kuso

OK, but I must warn you, I have become immune to the taste of Flax. Either that or I like the taste now. LOL! If you look in my journal I use on just about every meal.

Every meal!!! I am going to check out your journal. W8 says eventually I will like it.

I think immune is more like it

I actually like flax too...sick, I know!

Does it taste so much worse than udo`s?

I can't find UDO's! I have seen Lina and others use it. The only thing I have found are Udo's capsules. Never seen the liquid form. Flax taste like putrid fish when taken alone, that leaves a ver BAD after taste. However, in chicken, it gives a lil zing

Oh, and GOOD MORNING Adidas!!

Posted by: kuso

Putrid fish eh?

I don`t even like fresh fish

I get my Udo`s from netrition.

Posted by: Twin Peak

What's Udos?

Not like fish at all. When I used to take fish oil capsules, I'd burp up fish taste for hours....that was gross!

Posted by: Dr. Pain

The only trouble with Udo's is if you are getting to many other Omega 6 EFA's.....then flax at 54-57% Omega 3 would be the better choice.

Udo's is a very very fine blend, I'm in no way putting it down, I know Udo.....and Team DPw8 is about to be mentioned on one of his a radio shows.

Leslie, go to the banner at our website, and there may be info on where to find the blend locally for you!

DP

Posted by: Jodi

Couldn't you do make your own 50/50 blend of Safflower Oil and Flax Oil? Would that be healthier because of Omega 3 and Omega 6 blended? If so I might do start doing that.

Posted by: Leslie

Thanks DP, I got it.

Miss Ledix will love this: I can get it at Fresh Fields

There are many different blends, even one for dog's!

LOL

DP- Is this essential? Or am I ok with only flax?

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hi A! Did you get my email?

And yes Leslie, you know how I love the WF/FF stores!

I think the one time I actually purchased Flax it was the Udo's blend and I got it at WF. Blech!

Posted by: Dr. Pain

Flax is fine, you get other fats, like your dressing, cream, yolks etc.!

And those nut and nut butter eaters do too!

Posted by: w8lifter

I've only tried a blend once and it wasn't udo's...but it tasted like motor fuking oil compared to flax, lol...flax is so much better

LOL....I still take those filthy things

I have found the only thing that stops me burping that crap is matching amounts of amino`s with them................someone will no doubt now tell me why I shouldn`t do this but it`s the only way I have found to keep my friends

lol

I sometimes pour it on my tuna.

UNEXPECTED TRIP TO BOSTON this weekend!

I am VERY excited about my trip, however I am not sure how I will be able to stay on my diet. I have been so good and it's only been a week but I am in that groove. It is so HARD to keep this diet when you travel.

What do you think if I cook everything for the weekend and take it with me....LOL Everyone would agree that would be a Leslie move. Leslie you know I am joking with you and admire your dedication. I wish I was sneaking healthy food in the movies

Posted by: Leslie

Laugh if you may- but it's what you gotta do! LOL

I'd cook only food for the day you are leaving- a cold chicken salad with Newman Olive Oil (doesn't need refridgeration

), ect. As for the weekend just be sure to EAT!! You can always find the right choices at a diner/restuarant. They alwasy have eggs and chicken or fish. Bring along some tuna cans, Newmans and apples for a quick meal on the run that does not need refrigeration! Just don't forget the can opener and Tbsp!! LOL

What brings on this sudden trip to Boston?

Posted by: Dr. Pain

When we travel, we make serving size baggies of protein powder, and either a ton of flax caps (14 = 1 TBLS) or a small ice chest with some heavy cream! Then with these "Killer" shaker containers I get/sell from SportsPharma...we "mix and go!" The rest is as Lelie says, good food choices eating out!

Or you can make your own meals using tupperware and BYO in the same ice chest!

Mochy, DP, W8lifter.....See Adidas I am not the only one!

As someone very wise was said to me....."Welcome to our world"

Posted by: Adidas

Thanks DP and Leslie for the tips. Looks like I will be bringing a few items to get me through the days...

Hey Leslie,
I met a guy 10 months ago in Boston when I was home visiting for Thanksgiving. We hit it off from the start and exchanged email addresses. About two weeks later I received an email saying he and his ex got back together (been together for 4 years).

We have been friends ever since. He kept asking why we are still friends. My answer was always, everything happens for a reason. You may not know what the reason is at this moment or you may not know for weeks, months or even years, but eventually you figure it out.

I was being cute. Well...he called and he started with I am single. I laughed and didn't believe it. Then I realized he wasn't laughing, Then he reminded me that all along I have been saying that when you are single I will fly to Boston. And so within 24 hours of his phone call I booked a ticket and I am going to see him.

I am very excited and very nervous. Taking a chance...WHAT AM I THINKING

Aren't you glad you got the short version...LOL

Posted by: Leslie

WOW, that sounds like fun! I have been with my BF for four years so it's been awhile since I have had the pre-date jitters and butterflies! Sounds real exciting and romantic. You will have a blast I am sure. Wait til he sees your bod now

The key is try and not be too annoying with the meal thing- I find most people don't understand and will tell you "one meal/day" won't hurt. But I bet since you have been talking with him, he probably already knows of your new fitness conquest.

Girl, that plane ride is gonna be so nerve racking for you!! You must spill ALL the details when you return!

Posted by: Adidas

hey leslie,

Luckily he knows about my new fitness quest. He just hasn't seen the benefits of say taking flax seed oil straight

I leave Friday night so I still have a few days to be nervous. I am actually trying to pack some things today. The plane ride is going to be nerve racking, however I am very excited at the same time. All details will come upon my return on Tuesday morning. I have no idea what's in store, but if nothing else it is going to be a great time in Boston.

Posted by: Leslie

An extended weekend, eh?

Best of luck A!!!

Posted by: Leslie

Adidas, Have fun

Rememeber to eat clean

I am sure you will do just fine. Just follow this rule: No sugar, and if you are going to have a drink- do NOT eat any cheat food with it. It's one or the other

Good luck sweetie!!

BTW, I noticed you do your weight W/O before eatting. Do you find your strength is less this way? Do you get hungry through out your w/o?

Prior to DPw8 I was having a protein bar prior to my weight w/o.
I can't say I feel that my strength is less, however I do feel the affects of not eating prior to my leg w/o. This past Wednesday (leg day) I felt nausea and a little (and I stress little) lightheaded. So my plan is to get up a little earlier (ugh....say 4:40am) on leg day and have a protein shake/meal 1 around 5:30am.

Good Morning Everyone

I had a good weekend and it was said to leave

Leslie...I'll send you a PM with the good details

I have to be honest....my time away landed up being a few cheat days

Everytime I have travelled home over the last year I have been so good, this time I decided to have some fun with my friends. Back on track now as I sit here eating my eggs

Yesterday I wasn't feeling well and the thought of food made my stomach upset so you won't see anything logged for yesterday. I did manage to eat my eggs, some tuna fish, some chicken but nothing structured.

I left work with a horrible ear ache and it was so bad last night that I woke up every hour! UGH..needless to say I couldn't lift legs this morning. So I am not feeling great today and may leave work early to go home and try to rest.

Meal 1 (8am)
5 egg whites
2 whole eggs
2 oz ground beef
1 small apple

Meal 2 (11am)
5oz ground turkey
1/2 grapefruit
1.5 cups broccoli

Meal 3 (2pm)
4.5 oz chicken
1/2 cup brown rice
2 tsp flax seed oil

Meal 4 (5pm)

It is 6:30pm and I am starving....1.5 hours to go until my shake

Meal 5 (8pm)
5 frozen strawberries
44g protein
3 tbl heavy cream

Hi honey! You better copy and paste the text from the PM to Leslie into an email for me! I guess we have both been missing from the gym lately, they all must be so lonely without us! Especially the locker room, totally quiet.

Are you going to the doctor for the earache? I hope you feel better soon!!

I hate feeling like this but more so I hate not feeling well enough to get to the gym. I haven't called for a doctor's appt yet. I am going to wait and see how the day goes. So far it is looking like a long day. I think my body just wants a rest.

Thursday, September 19

I still feel awful. I think my body needed the rest. It has been one week off from the gym and I think the last time I took an entire week off was 10 months ago. I will be back in the gym tomorrow.

Of course not feeling well and work has been so crazy I haven't had any time to send a PM. If I get a few minutes tonight I will be sure to post a weekend recap for my visitors

Hate to be a beeatch...but this is not true! You took about a week off when you were in TX for the convention thingie for work and then you took about a week off when you went to the beach just recently. Ha ha! Do you hate me now??

Posted by: Twin Peak

BUSTED!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

I am the #1 slacker at the gym these days...so I can tease her about not going!

Posted by: Twin Peak

you EVER going to find those witty song lyrics?

Posted by: Adidas

Thank God it is Friday.

I have been the biggest slacker (along side Miss LeDix). My ear ache has gone away for the most part, but this girl just doesn't feel well. I wake up in the middle of the night sweating, nothing is agreeing with me, and the icing on the cake are these damn cramps...more info than you probably needed.

I haven't even had the time or energy to post

As Miss LeDix kindly reminded me I have taken two other weeks "off" in the last 10 months. HOWEVER, this time it is not b/c of work or vacation but more importantly b/c my body just isn't feeling well. I hate this! I am planning on getting as much sleep as I can this weekend and back into the gym on Monday, maybe this weekend if I feel better.

Sorry for the lack of posting....this girl needs to go home and to bed.

I guess you body is telling you something

I do put the Newman's on the broccoli. Usually I have either broccoli or green beans and either one of them is good with Newman's. Of course I would LOVE broccoli and cheese sauce, but that won't happen on this diet

I've done enough cheating lately.

Ok here it is the not-very-exciting recap of my trip to Boston.

I flew to Boston and was able to spend time with this guy. We had a great time! Now don't go and get all pornal on me b/c it wasn't that kind of trip

Remember gentlemen we need to take things slow...LOL
Anyway, his aunt became very ill and he needed to go to the hospital. That needless to say ended our "quality time". We had a lot of fun, HOWEVER it is best at this time for him to get his shit together. He just got out of a 4 year relationship and I will not be the rebound. And so we are back to being friends that want each other and live in 2 different cities.

And so it is back to juggling the men of Atlanta...JUST KIDDING

Posted by: Twin Peak

Thanks for the not so interesting update!

j/k

Your food looks really good and clean today.

Thanks Miss L. As for getting wild and crazy when I go out..that makes me laugh since I spent last weekend at home relaxing

Meal 5 - The date cooked mussells and shrimp. I also had salad (lettuce, red and yellow peppers) with about a tsp of italian dressing, 2 pieces of white bread ( I KNOW

I brought one for Trey and one for Sherri. Billy was no where in sight when I was leaving.

As for tanning, BUT......

Posted by: Leslie

ONE time won't hurt..Hmmmm when have I heard this before

LOL

Miss L~ I know about the tanning beds- they are real abd for you, but I figure on e of two things:

(1) Many people go tanning, therefore many people will also look horrrible when they age........So by that time there will be some cream that will make us look younger by then

(2) As for the cancer part....well I prefer not to think about that part

I will say it does do wonders for a refresher, that warm 12 min nap has gotten me through many days and has gotten rid of many headaches

How ya feeling A? Has your second wind died yet? LOL

I am still feeling good. It hasn't died yet but what until 2 or 3pm.

As for the tanning, Miss L is right and so is Leslie. But a quick power nap is just what I need

Posted by: Miss LeDix

There are other places to take naps besides in a tanning bed, you know that!

Billy left when I left, to answer that part.

Are you leaving early today? Do you want to meet at the market?

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Seeing as how it's 2.5 hours later...I guess you don't want to meet?

I had fun anyway!

Posted by: Leslie

So A~ Have you taken a nap or at least had a cup of coffee?

Hey......Wake up!

Posted by: Adidas

Hey Ladies,

Sorry Miss L...missed that post. Glad the market was fun

I need to stop by there this weekend.

L - I did take a 20 minute power nap under the lights. It was JUST WHAT I NEEDED. Not only am I tired but I am doing ok, but also my legs sore from my Wednesday w/o so this was perfect! There is nothing like a little bit of color to enhance all of our hours in the gym and watching what we eat

Posted by: Leslie

Good for you girl! Now only a coupla hours to go!

Silence Miss L! LOL Just kidding with ya girl

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Adidas!! I can't believe you...after all we've talked about skin cancer and all that sort of thing.

Leslie, you know that I had a mole with 'abnormal' cells, right? I had a biopsy two weeks ago (3 stitches, 2 weeks no lifting) and in about a month I'm getting the whole thing removed (5 stitches, probably another 2 weeks no lifting) and I am about the palest thing you have ever seen. I truly believe this can happen to anyone. I just don't understand how being 'tan' can be so important to people! Is it really worth all that?

Posted by: Leslie

I know Miss L. And I must say I feel bad for ya. I am sure it must suck not to be able to continue your normal gym routine- but at least everything turned out ok!

Did you get the abnormal cells from tanning? Of course it can happen to anyone, and yes, a tanning bed will make your chances much worse of course. But on the same note some people smoke their whole lives without lung cancer ect. and some get emphesyma(sp?) My point is Adidas is not tanning daily, she went once to relieve her muscles and relax a little~ and peace is excellent for the body.

Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and disbeliefs but to lecture others is not right. Everyone has their own choice to make. Someone who smokes knows they are at risk for lung cancer, someone who has unprotected sex takes that chance- and knows it. I am sure Adidas knows ALL but the damaging effects of the tanning lights and sun, but sometimes you have to live a little. We are all going to die from something...

I am not in anyway advocating tanning, I just think once in a while it can be a great mid-day escape

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Well, I was not lecturing any one. I was just trying to get my point across. And it's just that her and I have had specific conversations about dermatology issues and such. And I would only say these things because I care.

But, you keep mentioning how nice it is to relax in the tanning bed. If it's all about relaxing, why do it there?

Adidas gets massages, this I know. That is a much better, much safer way to relax.

And no, I have never, ever, ever been in a tanning bed. But I have had a few bad sunburns over the years. Maybe that's why I'm abnormal.

Posted by: Leslie

Massages do sound like a good idea

I have never had one- a professional one

How much do they cost?

OH MY GOD girl...with all the training you do you would LOVE a massage. My masseur used to compete in bodybuilding and he is awesome!! I love going especially after a hard w/o and I am sore. Cost varies...I've seen anywhere from $35-$70 from 30 min to an hour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!

Posted by: Stacey

I agree w/ ya leslie.. tanning is TOTALLY Relaxing!!

~~ Why do I go there to relax Miss L~ because there are no phones ringing to wake me up, nobody bugging me for 20 min, just you and the radio (or silience) and that lamp noise just puts u to sleep!! ITs Awesome!! You can't say Its not good for the soul... because you have never tried it before

Posted by: Miss LeDix

I still say there are other places besides a tanning bed where people can go to relax!

Meals and w/o to be posted later today.

I am feeling gr8 today! I was invited over to a friends house for pizza and beer tonight. I laughed

and said are you kidding?! This guy has no idea what this is like.

Tomorrow will be another tough day. Our office is going to an off-site meeting for the day. Thankfully we are having breakfast on our own. Lunch will be pizza.

I told them they can't be eating that in front of me..LOL

They are already asking if I will be traveling with my cooler full of food. I proudly said YES I AM

The tough part will be trying to get my meals in during these meetings. I can not imagine they are going to let me get up to warm up my meals! Ugh....that won't be so good.

Hey Adidas, I probably already heard this but why are you being so strict that it is severly crimping your lifestyle? Not that I am questioning this just curious. Is this a "new" way of life, a desire to get to the next level, to crib from Miss L, or some other goal?

Hey TP,

Great ? It is not crimping my lifestyle, I still have a life..LOL it's just a life w/o pizza and beer

Plus I have a wedding and a few big events coming up in the next few months that I want to be looking good for

I felt like I hit the wall about a month ago. With the hours I was putting in at the gym I just wasn't seeing ANY results which led to frustration. So I am working with DPw8 on my diet. which was my problem. I have the w/o aspect down but my diet is what has been holding me back. I am still learning about what works, what doesn't and what the right combinations are for me.

Per DPw8, "we can accurately say the you are Insulin Resistant. This means that sugars and starches are not good for you. That going "off track" sabotages being "on track" for at least double the same amount of time you were off track!" How frustrating is that for me

Plus I am type A personality...LOL

Plus my trainer calculated bmy bf% as 13.9% this past Monday which I knew was not possible. DPw8 calculated it and sent these numbers my way:

Weight: 157lbs
Your estimated body fat percentage is: 19.8 %
Your estimated lean body mass is: 124.8 lbs

I am looking to drop bf b/w 12-15. For me it is a personal quest, a means of discipline, a goal to shrive towards. Make sense?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Totally. Thats just what I was wondering...the why? My last cut for example was to get shredded for the summer. But it is way to difficult for me to stay at that level w/o severly impacting my life, something I am not prepared to do full time.

I think DP once mentioned that 4 of 5 people are insulin resistant, so you are not alone -- I am too.

How can the accurately assess your BF%?

I am guessing you mean DPw8. I have my measurements taken and send them to them. They then calculate from there. Just by looking in the mirror there is no way I am at 14%bf..SOMEDAY I will be

Hi Adidas - Glad you were feeling great! Once you're packed (the meals) the hard part's over. I've never used the butt blaster machine - do you like it?

Hope you have another good day today.

Hi A! You should have all seen Adidas today...she was dressed too cute for her meeting!

Hi NG! Today was the first day I had used the butt blaster. I will let you if I feel sore and then that will determine if I like it or not

I am still not sure.

Hey A~great job on the meal packing! Did you make the shake before hand and leave it in the fridge? Did it taste the same that way?
I know a guy who fills a gallon container with protein powder and water and drinks it throughout the day...It looks gross but I guess its convenient

I actually had my other meal options with me but the meeting jsut didn't lend for me to get up and eat in the midst of it. Of course the "lunch break" took place right b/w two of my meals..LOL I made two shakes the night before and kept them in the freezer and made one in the morning. When I got to my meeting I kept all of them in the frig. The frozen ones were more like ice cream which was good. Surprisingly I wasn't any more hungry despite not having my usual amount of food.

Posted by: Leslie

Cool. You shouldn't be hungry since you are getting the same macros. But being hungry earlier BEFORE next meal time can happen because it seems to digest faster despite the fat ect... I learned that

I miss those shakes, they are the bomb!
