Thread: Log for Pyro RX from IML

Ok everyone, I'm now on second week with Pyro RX. So far so good, I love the energy I get with them, no gutters, no headaches and good weight loss. I did notice I started to loss weight a little to fast than I wanted to so I changed up my meal plans a little and added a cheat meal once a week. I'm also changing to doing my log daily, to hard on me to do weekly. I worked out 6 days last week and I have also changed my workout routine for four weeks.( two weeks left) I am working out one body part a week mixing up with super sets, per and post muscle fatigue, and twice a week doing some sort of cross training ( doing upper body compound movements and straight to lower body compound movements) I had drill this weekend with my unit so it messed me up a little but back with it this week. With my meals and meal planning I do all my cooking on Sundays and make breakfast,per and post workout meals and lunch, the only thing I don't make is my dinners just because I have to cook for four but its still with in calories and clean. There my my status for last week and I will post again for tonight work out.

Weight: 132.6
I should be getting my BMI done again tomorrow

Ok ladies/guys I still need some help, my diet is still out of whack!!! I still start off good but than by the middle to end ofthe day I'm craving sweets, and than about ten mins later I cave in!!!Damn it. The Pyro RX is helping increas my energy with my extreme workouts and keeping me focused. The stomach pains are also going away too. As long as I take my pills before 2:00-3:00pm Pyro does not interfere with my sleep. Im still training HARD and the only thing different this last two weeks is cardio. Ive added 1-2 a day of cardio to help with weight. Ive also been a little stressed out helping in-laws move grandma into a nursing home. I still prep my foods on Sunday and pack it everyday. If any of you have some tips Id love to hear, thanks everyone.

Happy turkey day everyone, I got some AM cardio in this morning . I also did a late workout last night, I've been sick since monday(my kids gave me it...just my luck) so my workouts have been shorter. I know I shouldn't workout but if I not at the gym at least once a day I feel so dirty and guilty. I will get my log up to date tonight after my last workout. Be safe everyone, and god bless.


Don't quit before the pain hits!!

Ok everyone I haven't forgotten about my log,I've been sick since last Sunday and can't seem to get over it. ( on a good note I've down two more pounds from it) I'm going back to the doctor tonight or tomorrow AM. I even took a few days off from working out, which I hate. I made myself get on the treadmill and ended up doing 75 mins and almost 4.5 miles. Heading to the gym later today to hit the weights. I miss my daily routine!!!!!




Don't quit before the pain hits!!

Ok everyone I back on track today, still feel like shit but can't take it anymore. I made my doctors appointment for tomorrow morning after my spin class. Hopping to get some meds to get over this Bronchitis. Hit the gym hard today and it felt so good to be in my routine again!! I did chest a little back and a little shoulders,just to push myself today. I'll be posting pics on Saturday too

Thursday is my last day of Pyro RX but I'm going to continue to post a log, it has really help keep me on track and push me at the gym. So today was legs day and it KILLED me. First full leg day in over a week so the weight felt heavier. My form for box squats is really getting better, sistersteel and Sam( an older guy at my gym, he's a trainer now but use to power lift when he was younger) has been giving my some tips and positive Criticism.i will post a video with my warm up weight to see what you all think. My body feels so much better with my clean diet back on track and I'm finally getting over my cold ive had. The Pyro has helped give me a boost on the days that I wake up feeling bad. It has also helped me go farther and faster with my cardio workouts too.

Don't quit before the pain hits!!

Warm up weight, I've been working on form. I'm wanting to try powerlifting out so form has been on my mind a lot. I have lowered my weight(for a few weeks) so it's easier for me to nail down proper form.





Don't quit before the pain hits!!

Had a great workout today, it was a stressful day so the gym was much needed. I did only cardio yesterday. I talked to a few friends of mine today, powerlifters and got some tips and advice about how to get started. I was support to be in a powerlifting meet this weekend but have military training so had to change my plan.:-((( on a good note I got some good websites to go to tonight that has schudels on what Competitions are coming up.
Back to my log, my appetite is still very low and energy level has been ok. I've been training hard since Monday so I'm a little sore too.

Don't quit before the pain hits!!

Sorry everyone, I've haven't been Consistent with my log. I took Saturday and Sunday off,I had military training. I go back to the doctor on Friday, I'm hopping they can change my med's and my migraines will go away. Today was a very bad day. I had a migraine so bad I felt like I had the flu. I was shaky, felt like I was gonna puke, my head was Pounding, I could bearly drive, weak to stand. I took a long nap before the gym, it helped the pain but I was still very weak today. I ened up going lite with my weights today.
