Thread: All about me in 2003

Welcome back

JANUARY 2003 brief recap......

No lifting legs for the entire month! In replacement I was running 2.5 miles in 20 minutes.

Cardio was 4 - 20 min sessions on the treadmill also trying to exceed 2.5 miles in 20 min. On Tues and Thurs I was in spin class for 45 minutes. A LOT of cardio but I am cutting that down next week.

M, W, F - full body workouts excluding legs of course

Welcome back!

Glad things are well... I have the same problems with my legs... Gift from my dad... My mom has thin chicken legs and I got my dad's muscular legs .... so I also like to do High rep/Mod weight to bring down the size...

How is Miss L D? Haven't seen her around for a while, you two still working out together?

Thanks Lina!

When I start lifting legs again it will be high rep/mod weight just like you. Prior to January I was doing 4 sets of 25-30 reps.

It is good to be back on the boards. As for Miss L, she and her hubby bought a house and she had to change gyms We miss her and so we don't get to see each other every morning anymore.

Oh! I am in still in major LURKING mode...but do visit. Adidas, I'm so exicited for you and your new journal and your wonderful goals and progress!!!

Hi Lina, Hi kuso...I am here at a new job living in a new home and so on. All is well.

Adidas, I hope you maybe change your mind about Sunday.

Bye for now!!

Hey there ..Glad to hear all is going well for you!!!!! Now stop being such a stranger

CURRENT DIET UNTIL FEB 21

The diet is based upon "3 Apples A Day Challenge" through GOld's Gym. I have made modifications to suit my needs and/or cravings Not loving this one by any stretch of the means.

Meal 1
1 apple
6 egg whites
.5 cup oats
1 cup green tea

Meal 2
5 oz chicken
1 cup veggies (green beans or broccoli)

Meal 3
5oz chicken
.5 cup brown rice
.75 cup veggies
1 apple
1 cup green tea

Meal 4
5oz chicken, beef, tuna fish
1 cup veggies

Meal 5
Protein shake

*Meals are eaten every 3 hours. However, I do eat my apple prior to working out at 6am and follow up at 8am with the egg whites and oatmeal.

Total is b/w 1500-1600 cal. Previous diet (Nov-Jan) was 1700 cal.

I like the nutritional plan you layed out Adidas...good balance of carbs, protein, and fat. Nice work.

IMO...I would make sure to continue to do some type of strength training for the lower body...say lots of lunges...high reps....to make sure the joints and stabilizing muscles stay strong...especially if you're going to be running a lot.

THANKS FF! Thankfully this month off of no weight training for my legs is almost over. Soon I will be back to high reps and miles and miles of lunges...thanks for the feedback! Stop by and visit from time to time.

THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND - RPM Certification

On Saturday (7:30am-4:30pm) and Sunday (7:30am-4:30pm) I will be attending an RPM certification class. I am not sure if I even want to teach. I just want to see if I can make it through this class.

I am adjusting my workout this week so that I am saving some energy for this 16-hr class. I will probably skip RPM class on Thursday and no cardio on Friday but plenty of stretching.

I have no idea how I will survive this class. Today I asked myself what am I thinking? Today I am a little nervous.

Okay, I finally found it.

So where are those pics!

Oh, and if your lurking, a big shout out to my long lost sis!

Hey TP!

Having new pics taken seems to be the biggest challenge nowadays!

Your long lost sis is out there somwhere LURKING!

This is a picture of me at Christmas with my little cousin. This is the best I can do until I can have "before" pics taken.

Hi A! Cute pic...nice shoes! And what's that in your drink exactly?

I must agree...nice shoes, but nicer legs

I am doing a piss more job of logging into my new journal. Thankfully that is where I am slacking and not on my actual diet or w/os.

In preparation for my certification class on Sat & Sun I decided I need to increase my carbs slightly. I should have done it a week prior and not on Thursday but I figured better late than never. WRONG FOR ME! I ate chicken and pasta for lunch on Thursday afternoon. After lunch, my colleagues said what happened to you?! I looked AWFUL they said. My face was bloated, I could not keep my eyes open for the life of me and I felt AWFUL! Well since I don't eat pasta and haven't in the past year or so my body was pissed!! I never knew it would have that kind of effect on me. That won't happen again.


The GOOD NEWS --- I passed my training session for RPM this past weekend. It was Sat and Sun from 7:30am-4:30pm. I have never been so tired as I was last night! The good news is that I can teach at my gym and have to send in my video to get my certificate. I am very excited since this is WAY OUT of my comfort zone. In the gym I have been the student and now I will be teaching.

If all goes well, pics will be taken on Friday. I have said that over and over again, but need to get it done!

Diet for the weekend was unscripted since I was in class and we ate when we had a break - apples, grapes, bananas, and a protein bar or two got me through it all. I did manage to eat green beans and turkey for lunch both days. The only cheat was some Bryer's (sp?) ice cream afterwards.

Monday, February 3

I went to bed at 8:15pm last night after a very LONG weekend. Was going to take today off but decided to go in and LIFT only. Cardio days this week will be Tues and Sat. With all that I did this past weekend, I don't need much more than 2 days.

5:15am - prior to w/o - 1 green apple

w/o - back, abs and chest

meal 1 (7:30am)
myoplex (cafe mocha) shake - too tired to cook
1 cup green tea

meal 2 (10:30am)
5oz chicken
1 cup green beans

meal 3 (1:30pm)
1 cup green tea
5oz chicken and lean ground turkey combo
.75 cup green beans
.5 cup brown rice
1 green apple

meal 4 (4:30pm)
5oz chicken
.5 cup green beans

meal 5 (7:30pm)
homemade chicken soup since i think i am running a slight fever and really would much rather be home in bed than at the office.

I was dying last week! Whatever I had kicked me in the a**! I had absolutely NO energy. I managed to get some cardio in but I could not even think of lifting. As for my diet.....let's say that the mere THOUGHT of egg whites or chicken made my stomach TURN!

Start of a new week and ready to kick it!
