What laugh at me then ask for my meals?!?!?... j/k

My meals have been too low this week - I can tell. When we get back I'll be more diligent about counting the cal's and macros for the next month of cutting.

Breakfast has been yogurt mixed with protein powder

Meal 2 is lettuce, 4 oz chicken or tuna, salsa, tomatoes & a dab of ff sour cream . I take 20 almonds a day

Meal 3 is usually 4 oz of protein and about 1/2 cup of yams

Meal 4 is a meal replacement bar (low sugar)

Meal 5 is salad with 4-5 oz of protein.

Stupidly low in cals & fat, not a good diet plan at all.. like I said I need to totally re-work this next week

Actually it was pretty boring.. for us

Saturday night we went to LAX in the Luxor (we stayed there).. went through the whole 'wait in line till the mafia type men think you're good looking enough to let in' ... thanks to the two guys & girl beside us, one of the guys went up and talked to one of the goons and we all got in right away.. That club was good for about 2 hours, then it was so jam packed you couldn't even dance or move freely.

Sunday night,, just hit a few feebie lounges and listened to music

Monday night - went to the "cathouse" in the Luxor as well.. very fun club,, hip hop basically, great dance music, not very crowded because it was Monday..
I had a moment of dancing with another girl on an elevated platform... but that's all I'm telling..

When we go back in March - there is this bar right outside Manadalay Bay which is called Minus 5 - they have a bar you can go in that is completely made of ice - bar, seats, even the glasses you drink out of are ice. The gal told us you could probably stay in there about an hour before you start getting cold, it's kept at 23 degrees. They even give you fur coats to wear.

You know it really doesn't bother us much - we are so used to going in after work and getting our cardio in, it's just an extra half hour.

We only have about an hour and 15 minutes in the morning (the gal opens the gym around 4:40..) and we have to be outta there by 5:50 for me to get ready for work

You get used to it...

Posted by: katt

ok so sleeping in this morning was not happening... you know, you're so used to getting up at 4 a.m. (at least I am) that 4 comes around and you're like "I'm going to sleep more" then you keep waking up every 5 or 10 minutes and finally I say "what the hell".. and get up anyway

So, yeah,,,, I go to the gym to do.....

Cardio!!!! I will put this on the record... this is my last (gulp!) intense cardio I am going to do for the next 4 weeks..

New routine
New Diet
New Cardio stragegy...

OMG... I am going to feel like such a lazy POS.. What the hell am I going to do with all my energy?????????

ALOT!!!!!!!



Posted by: PreMier





Posted by: katt

ok so today is the first day of the new workout - really, for the few exercises we had, it was pretty tough and took 50 minutes between us both. Plus we are trying to find our heaviest weight for the 3 sets as well.

Squats
wu w/95 1x8 (115) 1x8 (135) 1x5

DB Bench
wu w/35's, 1x8 (50's) 2x8, 1x7

One Arm DB Rows
(52.5) 1x8 (55) 1x8 (60) 1x8

The rows were a little surprising to me.. but in our last 2 weeks, this was the 3rd exercise for back vs the 1st.. so when I picked up the 52.5's.. it was like 'crap, these feel pretty dang light' I'll start with 60's next time



Posted by: katt

ok, I needed to add one thing... food wise. Everything on this diet is pretty similar to what I've been eating already, except the added protein. But, the only thing I'm having a hard time with is the salting of food, because I'm not a real salt finantic... I don't salt anything when I cook it, so this is going to take a little adjustment to get used to..

It makes it taste really awful.

Found the gym...so as soon as my mother can send over my pt gear...that will change!

hey lady!
pretty good! I'm surrounded by buildings and far from ther perimeter...so I kinda forget I'm in a war zone...beyond the fact that I can't leave the area.
Think I'm gonna get my schedule hammered out pretty soon.
work 5, 12hour days w/ 2 off. Lift on work days....rest on off days.
Gonna have to suck it up and actually DO cardio...daily.
Start back slowly and hope the muscle memory starts kicking in...


When I get my lap top sent off, fixed and sent back...will get some shots of the mountains here. They are magnificant! If we can get these ass-hats to stop trying to killing everybody in the name of Allah (which I personally think is blasphemy) these mtns could be developed into some great resorts!




Posted by: soxmuscle

Whats your reasoning behind the change in routine?

I ask because with so infrequent workouts and barely no cardio, your goals (at least in the short term) had to have changed.

Yeah, we are doing 14 days of Lyle McDonalds PSMF diet.. 12 days of basically no carbs and then two carb up days.. Lifting heavy as possible at the gym, but short workouts.. it's starting out good, but I can anticipate it's going to be brutal. After that I will go back to a normal cutting diet for a couple weeks and see where I'm at.

well I can't tell yet,, It's only our 3rd day in, but so far so good.

Wait till tomorrow when we have to do cleans...



Posted by: Burner02

'morning, katt!
(ok, its still wednesday night for you..)
how's things?



Posted by: katt

ok,,, so when I thought "ok, we can do the clean & presses.... they couldn't be that hard".... on my second set this morning I was breathing so hard after 8 reps I seriously had second thoughts about the upcoming 3rd set..

last night I watched a couple youtube tutorials on how to properly do a clean.. looked good.. I was having a little difficulty seting my initial weight on the bar.. I did a couple with the oly bar alone to get the feel of the movement.. they put 10's on each side.. hmmm.. that was pretty easy.. then put another 10 on each side.. ok, by the third rep I was seriously struggling..

(65)1x1 (85) 1x3 (75) 1x4 then (75) 1x8, 1x7

Romainian Deadlifts
(135) 3x8.. could have gone with more weight if I only did 5 reps on ea set

Chins - can you say... suck's ass???

1x5, 1x4, 1x3 3/4.....lol

This workout, although it was fairly short, was pretty hard.. I can't imagine doing this one again on Wednesday after our 10th no carb day..

But... on a good note,, I am noticeably leaner today... but I did supplement with "Nitor" for the first days because of my lack of energy at work.



Posted by: Burner02

the cleans took that much out of you? Kudos for trying them! I think I'd hurt myself if tried those...
Just keep at them. I'm sure the carb depletion had some to do with it..maybe also need time to get used to them?



Posted by: katt

well,,, I figured I could do more weight if we only did cleans... it was the pressing that got me I think

I kinda like that exercise though..



Posted by: Burner02

they look kinda...fun...but I can clean a lot more than I can press...



Posted by: katt

This morning was 45 minutes walking on the treadmill..

I'm so tired today I seriously could be a total couch potato.... if I didn't have to go to work..



Posted by: Burner02

found one of your hunting pictures...what's with the dog????




Posted by: soxmuscle

Keep up the good work, katt.

As tired as you seem now, it'll pay dividends in the end.

I can imagine I think we are going to split it up on Wednesday (next workout) and do them separate. . I just feel that I wasn't getting enough weight for the cleans, and a little too much for the presses.

But yeah, I really like the exercise

no it's not my dog and it's not me.... just Burners idea of sick humor

but it is kinda funny



Posted by: katt

yesterday 1 hr walking on the treadmill - today 45 minutes..

My state is pretty much "neutral" right now.. not starving, but kinda hungry all the time.

I'll be glad when this week is over and I can transition into the UD2 diet for the next 2 weeks before we hit Vegas for a few days.... then back at it.

Pool, sun,, warmth.. it all sounds good right now



Posted by: katt

Today's workout definitely was a struggle after the cleans..

Cleans
(85) 1x8 (95) 1x5 (95-85) 1x3, 1x2

On the second set, I must not have had my left hand tight enough or something, cuz the bar just slipped out of my hand on the left side about chest high and hit my leg... now I have a nice "war wound" to show for it.. dork

Standing Military press
(75) 2x8, 1x7

Romanian Deads
(135) 2x8, 1x5

Chins bw
1x7, 1x5, 1x4

Stamina was definitely down,, I can tell that I'm getting depleted right now.. I'm going to need those carbs on Saturday, I can tell you that.

No I don't - but I know for a fact that there's going to be a big bowl on cereal in there somewhere... I don't usually eat cereal, but I'm really craving it right now. Probably Cheerios or some low-fat granola



Posted by: Triple Threat

You and TOH have more willpower than I do. I doubt that I could go that long without carbs.



Posted by: katt

ok so yesterday I broke down... not bad though. I was feeling extremely light headed,, brain was foggy.. no jokes plueeze..

Anyway, I ended up eating a cup of low-fat cereal around lunch time.. about a half hour later I was feeling better... went after work and did cardio and that was it..

I can see why not many people do this... it's kinda nuts.. hope it works

your doing fine.. its always hard

are you ok?
Remember the saying:
Pain is temporary, chicks dig scars, and glory lasts forever.

Did you just get a bruise or something a little more?



Posted by: katt

Yeah, just a nice horizontal bruise on my thigh.. wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be..

Yesterday was 1 hr of walking on the treadmill, which really didn't seem all that difficult.. it could have been that second dose of Nitor I took at 12:30..

Tonight we do our full body workout - which is 2 sets of 8-12's on everything.. It'll be difficult..

then start the carb up.. I have Sunday planned out (200 grms carbs) and Saturday (400-600 grms) - kinda/sorta right now.. tonight will be just some potatoes w/balsamic & salt and prob a little white rice with the protein..

Tomorrow I did find a virtually fat free linquini recipe that I'm making for dinner, (ff cream cheese, ff ricotta & parmesan). and I'm going to throw a bunch of shrimp in it.. haven't decided on a vege to go with that yet

YUMMMMMM !!!!



Posted by: katt

Tonights workout was ok but hard. We both were getting light-headed about half way through.

Incline Bench

DB Preacher Curl
(25) 2x8

Dips - bw 1x12, 1x9

Done - I just had my chicken and a big side of German Potato salad made w/FF mayo, mustard and balsamic vinegar... now my stomach hurts.... but it feels good to be 'full' for once in 2 weeks.



Posted by: Triple Threat

SHELC? I haven't seen that abbreviation before. What is it?

It gets easier. By the time the diet ends you'll be fully adjusted to those cals and won't even be hungry anymore....it's pretty weird.



Posted by: katt

Yeah D - I wasn't really 'hungry' per se... I just felt depleted.. I have to multi-task big time at work, and it just wasn't happening for me that day.. my brain function was definitely down

but this is my last day of the refeed and I think I actually look better. I am kinda bloated in the evening from all the food, but by morning I think I actually look a tad leaner... so it's all good

I will do the same eating plan for the next two weeks before we go to Vegas, because even though I choose pretty healthy things while we are there (well, excluding the one priority trip to Fat Burger at 3 in the morning ).. the drinks just kill everything even if you're eating good.



Posted by: katt

Another 2 weeks starts now

Squats (front) wu w/bar 1x6 (85) 1x6 (95) 1x6, 1x8

RDL (135) 1x6 (155) 2x6

Leg Extensions

Ab Rope Crunch
(65) 3x20

Hyper Extensions w/25 lb plate 2x10

Standing Calf Raise
#7 - 1x12, #8 1x12, 1x9

Went ok today, things felt not too hard.



Posted by: Burner02

ya know...we tried the 'famous' fat burger in LA....and it was just...so-so.

look at those leg extensions1
wow!!!!!



Posted by: PreMier

when do we get updated pics?



Posted by: katt

We'll probably take some when we are in Vegas I'm happy with the outcome so far,,, but I'm not quite there yet....

The gal in my dance class last night said I have "man arms"

whatever

We did just 2 sets of each today - as heavy as we can go.. but, unfortunately picking the starting weight is a toss up .. so some of the exercises we could have gone heavier.. oh well, we'll get it next time.

Cardio this morning. We've been doing cardio about 4 or more times a week still, a little lesser intensity though.

I can't lie - today is going to be hard diet wise. It's the 5th no carb day but tomorrow I plan on shopping with my girlfriend for most of the day, so I'm sure there will be lunch or dinner somewhere, which will give me a little break. If I had my pick, it would be PF Chang's or the Mustard Seed (Aisan). Yum

Good Morning Katt

Heya Sara!

I try to.. I usually go shopping on Sundays at Costco for the vege's and grill up a bunch of chicken and turkey burgers and hard boil some eggs. It makes it easier during the week if you have it all prepared - just box it up and go !

I think if I had just one chicken tender... you know those greasy ones from the store deli's... it would put me into a "tender eatin frenzy"

Then I'd have a real bad stomach ache afterwards..



Posted by: katt

Today's workout was really tough.. I was tired and my stamina was down..

but - oh well - on with it

Front Squats
wu w/bar 1x6 (95) 1x6, 1x8 (105) 1x8

SLDL
(135) 3x6

Extensions
(180) 2x8 (195) 1x6

Rope Crunches
(75.5) 1x15 (80/72.5) 1x5 ea (75.5) 1x10
ss with
Straight Leg raises (supported on that ball type machine)
3x10

Ok, so the first set of squats just seemed very heavy.. I was like but, then the brain kicked in and I thought "ahhhh,,,, no carbs" Then the second set was easier.. and so on and so on....

The rope crunches.. usually I can kick out sets of 15 on these.. but today I did my first set of 15 - went over and did the leg raises, then went back to the rope and thought "dang I can bump this up a bit"... well... I got to 5.. yup.. that idea didn't work so I put the pin back down to 72.5.

One more full body on Saturday, then we are totally off for the next 5 days And you know it - I'm getting alot of relaxing time in while I'm there.... NOT! I know even if I want to - I can't sleep when I'm in Vegas... :jacks :

I always find the first set is like a wake-up call to my muscles - the second set is usually much easier. Someitmes tho, I forget this and it really freaks me out that my warm-up weight gives me so much trouble.

Eeeeew, rope crunches. I see you're still very much the masochist

I missed the unassissted pull ups...as mentioned previously...sha-wing!

What do you do to help with the PU'S?
Do you ever do negatives? (have hubby help you up then do a 4-6 count down?)
Do you wrap your thumb around the bar?
Do you use the gravitron?

Do you ever have a total # of reps you want to do?
(I used to see how few sets I could reach 50 in, for example)

Ever use straps?



Posted by: Burner02

...something I also would do is vary the grip a little every set. Then when strength started to come up, concentrated on wide grip

whoo heee.... Takes a while to detox after Vegas..

Ok, so I reduced the weight on the front squats so I can go all the way down on each rep... which made my deadlifts totally suck!! Oh well,,, have to re-learn and slowly work my way up again.

We gained a few pounds while we were on vaca... too many good (or bad) places to eat and those coyote ugly slurpees... they are my death when we are there... it's either that or Fat Tuesdays.... so... if there is 600-800 calories in a large slurpee at 7-11....take that - add the alcohol..... and....

Dude... I was ingesting the calories..

Time to get back on tract and start cutting again.. it was totally worth it

Posted by: Scarface30

hey, so what.. it's a few cals. sometimes you just have to let loose! betcha it was definitely worth it, eh?

great pics too, katt

Really? I'm surprised? I love them just because they kill my abs! Between those and hanging leg raises, I'm set.

Last night 3.5 miles jog/walk.. I think we did more jogging than walking this time

Pullups 1x3, 1x3 + 1 w/help, 1x3 +1 w/help
Pullups were not my friend today

Seated Row (100) 1x8 (105) 2x8

Straight Arm Push Downs (35) 1x8 (40) 2x8

Hyperextensions w/25 lb plate 2x10

Straight Bar Curl (60) 2x8, 1x5

Hammer Curl w/25's 3x8

Everything felt extremely heavy today probably because of the jogging.. The race is May 3rd, so after that I'm going to cut it down to one time a week at a leisurely pace.. the rest of my cardio will be on the treadmill or eliptical.
