THE CUT STARTS HERE: Hilary (nikegurl)

**nikegurl** · 01-06-2003, 12:27 PM

Just moved and joined a new gym. (much drama - but that's over now) I start back tonight - with a vengeance!

I want to get very lean - and stay that way for life. My goal is to be at about 12-14% bodyfat and stay there. I'm at around 20 now - maybe worse.

I need to improve my shoulder mass and my legs. (hamstrings, calves, quads - they all need work)

I'll have to get my stats this week. I'm sure there's someone at my new gym who can do the measurements for me.

**Jodi** · 01-06-2003, 12:36 PM

Yeaaaa! I'm so glad your joining us Nikegurl! Welcome Back, we missed you.

**nikegurl** · 01-06-2003, 12:38 PM

Thanks mochy. So good to be here. By the way - your calves and quads look AWESOME!

I'm gonna be ashamed to post my stats. I bet I'm at (or even a tad above gawd help me) 20%. But the number is headed down at least.

**Jodi** · 01-06-2003, 12:40 PM

Hey, don't stress about it. My BF% increased over the holidays. But, thats what were here to do now, get rid of it.

Oh and Thanks!

I need to get flax back in here. I'll be buying it this weekend....but the shakes sure do taste better with whipping cream than with flax! oh well. I'll enjoy them this week

**nikegurl** · 01-07-2003, 10:04 AM

Gym last night - trained chest, bis and abs.

I can only get to the gym 4 days a week now so my split is:

chest/bis/abs
back/tris
legs
shoulders/abs

I missed 7 weeks at the gym so I'm sure everything will kill. I'm not going to really log this week's workouts. I just want to hit everything once to get back into it and then start logging and upping my volume etc. next week.

Last night I only did 6 sets for chest and 3 for biceps but they felt good. Next week I'll hit everything hard - this week I'm just getting back into it.

**dvlmn666** · 01-07-2003, 09:15 PM

welcome back and good luck and have fun.

**nikegurl** · 01-08-2003, 10:10 AM

thanks dvlmn. i'm feeling good - better than i have in a very long time. the change of scenery has done me a world of good already.

back and triceps last night. legs today. my chest is pretty sore from monday. i'm still going to hit everything hard next week and start logging weights/exercises etc. 1 week to ease in is all I'm willing to give it!

MEAL 1
1.5 whey
3 Tbs whipping cream
1/2 apple

MEAL 2
can tuna
1 Tbs safflower mayo
1 stalk celery

MEAL 3

I was freaking starving so I umm.....had Meal #3 only 1 hour and 40 minutes later. Same thing as Meal 2.

(I'll edit this post so all the meals will be together for the day as I go along)

**nikegurl** · 01-09-2003, 10:24 AM

I'm in a terrible mood today. I messed up my diet yesterday after a whopping 3 days. Pisses me off. Where the hell has my discipline gone? Used to be if I set my mind to something it was as good as done.

I don't want to talk about "used to be". I want to do this for real - once and for all for good this time. I say it and say it but then I ate Quiznos yesterday.

I'm going to try to look at every day as a chance to get closer to my goals or farther from them. I don't like being disgusted with myself and when I don't do what I say - that's how I feel.

**w8lifter** · 01-09-2003, 10:30 AM

...c'mon girl, we just started...you can't be breaking yet

Get that shit outta your head get right back to your (proper) diet!

**nikegurl** · 01-09-2003, 10:42 AM

thanks w8. EXACTLY. i'm starting fresh today planning to carb up on sunday. i like your signature line - failure can't be mine either.

i'm sick of wanting it. it's time to do it and be it and have it and keep it.

...and this should be your sig!

**nikegurl** · 01-09-2003, 11:02 AM

done.

i actually feel better after my vent. i have too much information and great resources (DP & w8!) to waste any of it. i don't even know what physique i'm capable of achieving. but i don't want to wonder anymore or waste any more days. i want to find out. i will find out.

**nikegurl** · 01-10-2003, 10:49 AM

feeling good. yesterday i trained shoulders and abs.

damn - i've neglected abs for a while. i only did 4 sets total and i'm feeling them today.

starting sunday i'll be logging workouts again. i didn't this week just b/c i was easing in after 7 weeks off. i'm ready to hit it hard now. the soreness wasn't too bad and while i did lose some strength - it wasn't as bad as i had feared.

i LOVE my new gym.

**nikegurl** · 01-13-2003, 12:58 PM

quick rant....

one of my coworkers made a huge chocolate cheesecake. i haven't tasted even a crumb or gone near the thing but i'm sad to say it has me totally distracted. i don't think i'll exhale until the last slice is gone (it's not even half finished)

i'm not going to be so weak that i eat it but i hate that i'm weak enough that i can't stop thinking about it!

i suck.

**tigress** · 01-13-2003, 01:26 PM

You DON'T suck. I know exactly what you mean. We always have a ton of junk food at work, with all different types of chips and chocolate bars. It's crazy, people bring in all different stuff all the time, and it is there calling my name. For some reason I was really hungry today, and there was a crispy crunch taunting me cruelly.

But I resisted, because I don't want to look like(and be as unhealthy) as the people who bring it in and eat it all the time.

**nikegurl** · 01-13-2003, 01:30 PM

thanks! that's what's getting me through it. i looked at my own signature and remembered that cheesecake doesn't fit anywhere in my goals. guess i expected it to be less tempting after i got my head straight again.....

**nikegurl** · 01-14-2003, 10:54 AM

last night was off from gym. tonight is back and triceps. i'm sick but i'm going anyway. i don't want to miss - too soon getting back into it. sore throat and sinus congestion. pretty sure i had a fever last night but not now. so it may not be the best workout but i'm gonna still do it.

drinking lots of water today and sticking to the eating plan (will post soon). hoping the sick thing gets over and done with fast - no patience for it!

**nikegurl** · 01-16-2003, 10:45 AM

the gym is amazing. i have seen numerous women there squatting 225 like it's the bar. no one raises an eyebrow. i love it.

now for the bad news. my diet is still not in order. 2 nights in a row i've gotten up around 3:00 to use the bathroom and between the bathroom and back to bed i've stopped at the pantry and eaten bad sheeeit. last night it was 3 chocolate chip cookies. all day long i'm sticking to the plan even resisting homemade cheesecake and then i do stupid stuff like that 2 nights in a row.

i feel like i'm still wasting time. i wish i could stop cheating. i keep saying i can and i will and i have but then i screw up again.

no good at all......

**tigress** · 01-16-2003, 11:19 AM

Is it possible to get the "bad sheeeit" outta your cupboards?

**nikegurl** · 01-16-2003, 11:32 AM

I wish! I would never buy it so I wouldn't have to risk it except I'm living with a family (long story) who doesn't eat anything like I do. For instance there aren't just Twinkies in there - there's the big jumbo size box of 24. And cookies....and cheetos, doritoes, chips and soda and 3 kinds of icecream.

You get the idea. I have to stop blowing it though. I'll be perfect all day - hitting my numbers no cheats and then I blow it while I'm barely awake in the middle of the night.

**tigress** · 01-16-2003, 12:06 PM

LOL! Remember the 10lb box of chocolates I mentioned? Oops, maybe I didn't mention that here. Anyhow, I have that stuff around me all day, and I know it's hard, but I have never been a middle of the night eater. Anyhow, about 3 hours ago, I went into the kitchen at work and just put my head over the box and SNIFFED the chocolate! Too funny. I knew that i couldn't eat any though, and it probably would have made me feel like crap if I had.
