Eggs Journal - I'm back!

**Eggs** · 05-13-2003, 07:44 PM

It must be time to start a new journal up

Hrmmm, whats new? Well, I took a bit off of time lifting a few months ago during all the new events in my life and then picked up again a couple months past. Surprisingly, my strength hasnt dropped all that much in the mean time. However, I dont think I'm looking nearly as good as I was in Italy... something which I'm planning to remedy as time goes on.

Right now I'm working out in my basement, I have a bench and dumbells so can do quite a few exercises... and for lats I am doing pull ups. Its going to stay that way for the Summer, then in the late Fall I will be going to school in Virginia so will be using the gym there. This Summer I will be traveling alot so weeks when I'm out of town if I cant find a gym I will probably substitue with plyometrics or something.

As to diet, I'm cleaning it up a bit... increasing protein and decreasing carbs. Dietary changes are taking place slowly... mostly I just stopped drinking the 1000 calorie shake I was throwing back a day to put on weight for Winter

So I really dont eat anything with alot of sugar right now. I'm also cutting out caffeine for the time being... which sucks, I love espresso.

I'm basically doing a two day split and my running/cardio days on top of that. One day is chest/tris/delts the other is back and biceps. For legs I'm doing light weights and running for the time being... at a later point I'll get back into legs and heavy squats etc.

Well, thats it for now... good to be back.

**Jenny** · 05-13-2003, 10:54 PM

Well look who's back with his very own journal!

Was about friggin' time!

So you stopped those cinnamon buns now? Really, well, can I have them..

Good luck with your goals sugah! Will be interesting to follow you working on them.. And seeing the results of em..

Now where's the pics??

Hey man, glad to see you back here journaling again......

I`m sure this is going to turn into an interesting read,...one way or another

**Eggs** · 05-14-2003, 08:17 AM

Hey Jen - Yeah yeah... I know, its been forever. Thanks

Nope... no cinammon buns for you young lady

Well, I'm sure we can talk about it...

Pics, what kind of pics do ya want?

Hey now!

Kuso - Umm, so you're planning on making my thread interesting one way or another huh... I'm afraid to ask what that entails. Have to get a restraining order on you pornalizers.

Okay... diet:

Breakfast:
1 yoghurt
Eggs + Potatoes
Erm, and a Coffee... I suck, but I have exams all morning and didnt get much sleep so need to be a bit wired. I know, excuses are like... oh bite me.

Lunch:
Protein shake
homemade vegetable stew, umm, with chicken in it.

Snacksies:
Carrots and an orange

supper:
more tomato/vegetable soup (its that good... umm, and theres alot).
a small bowl of homemade fruit salad... with LOTS of strawberries.

Dinner: Hot dogs, beans, crackers... basically everything that I dont normally eat.

I need to go pick up some chicken breast tomorrow and some steak. They have a really good deal at a local super market so I can buy bulk.

Tonights workout was biceps and back:
Barbell curls: 3x10
Dumbell curls/Hammer Curls: 3 x 8

Back was a hodge podge of exercises that I thought would be fun. Basic bent over rows and pull ups.

And thats that... going to round it off with a protein shake and get 9 hours of sleep.

Grr, got kicked back for too many smilies... edit time

Hey now!

Well, you know what they say, what's good waiting for....

I think I'd be able to make you buy me some cinnabuns!

If not I'd have to use violence..

What kid of pics? hmmm.. well, I love shoulders.. so a shoulder pic would be good..

**Eggs** · 05-14-2003, 09:50 PM

I'm familiar with that saying...

You'd kick my butt for cinnabuns? Hmmm, I can appreciate that

I'll have to hold off on them more often!

Haha, okay. I'll see what I can do for ya

I'll start looking for someone to take it, you know how I am with pics... take forever and all that.

Okay, have to get back to my workout

**Jenny** · 05-15-2003, 12:12 AM

Now Eggie, I think we need to change a couple of things in your diet..

I don't see protein in every meal.. And what's up with the hot dog and crackers?

Hey, don't make me be forced to come there and cook for ya..

Ok, so I can now expect pics around November?

Hope you had fun with your workout!

**Eggs** · 05-15-2003, 01:46 PM

Uh oh, I dont think I could eat healthy unless you came and cooked for me Jen...

November, hrm, sounds about right! Perhaps before then

My workout was really good, I'll post my diet up a little later.

**naturaltan** · 05-15-2003, 03:22 PM

hey man ... how are things?

**Eggs** · 05-15-2003, 04:22 PM

Lifes going good NT, really good... how about yourself? School just wrapped up for another semester so now I'm just looking forward to relaxing for the Summer and perhaps a little parting too

You ready for Summer time? Haha, or should I rephrase that... is the Summer ready for Mr. and Mrs. NT?

**naturaltan** · 05-15-2003, 04:24 PM

Excellent to hear. Not sure what kind of trouble we will get into. We were going to try and go cause trouble with Butterfly and fade ... but we can't decide on a place to go that we can afford. But we recently heard that the Canadian dollar's value is climbing ... so it might not be long

**Eggs** · 05-15-2003, 05:45 PM

Ahh, going to go hang with those two huh? Well there certainly could be some craziness involved then. I'm sure it'll be a great time. Yeah, not sure how those Canucks are doing it but their dollar keeps looking better and better. the US $ will pick up a bit soon I think, guess we'll have to watch and see. Its always nice for going overseas when it does though.

Okay, diet today...

500g Turkey
100g cottage cheese

100g yogurt

I mean, 500g of turkey, now we've already talked about that..

I'm quite happy with the US$ currency right now, I'm planning on buying some stuff online really cheap!

**Eggs** · 05-16-2003, 09:10 AM

Still not happy with my meals? You're a hard one to please Jen

The turkey wasnt my fault... it attacked me first! and I just, umm, ate it.

Ice Cream!!?!?

....and you didn't save some for me??

**Eggs** · 05-19-2003, 06:01 AM

Of course I saved some for you...

But I think its melting on the counter as we speak.

This morning I'm going to do Power Yoga, do it every day that I'm not lifting... I think I need the stretching too

**Jenny** · 05-19-2003, 06:17 AM

Oh no..

you could have put it in the freezer you know..

Hope you had fun doing Power Yoga!

Wish I could join you, I'm so bored here at work..

**Eggs** · 05-19-2003, 11:40 AM

ah well, that one melted but I know a place that has better Ice cream called ColdStone. Their ice cream is really good... I mean really really good. Oh yes, THAT good

Yoga was nice, have to keep limber in my old age ya know

Somebody told me about this other kind of yoga though this morning... I think I'd like to do that kind more. I'll have to look into it of course, what do you think?

**Jenny** · 05-19-2003, 12:53 PM

THAT good? Really? I think I need to come over there and try it..

Uhm, yes, I think I've heard about that yoga..

And I think we'd er, I mean you

would enjoy it..

**Eggs** · 05-19-2003, 08:50 PM

Oh yes, believe it... it is THAT good

I'm sure we, umm, I mean, I would.

You know what I think about that kind of yoga though, it takes ALOT of practice to achieve the results that you want. ie. being limber, etc

I didnt get to run today

So I'm going to run in the morning instead! Nice and early I think, probably just 5 miles again. My workout today was walking my grandmother around IKEA

I didnt really buy any furniture, but I did pick up some Swedish Caviar.

**Eggs** · 05-19-2003, 08:56 PM

Early Breakfast:
50g cottage cheese

Breakfast:
1 really big omellete
1 muffin

Lunch:
250g Steak
and something else, cant remember what. I just pay attention to things that bleed

Supper:
250g steak
spinach salad

Note: I'm going to cut the rest of the steaks in half... I think that eating the steaks in 1/4lb sizes might be a bit more beneficial. Though I really like steak.

Since that practise probaby would be a lot of fun, I don't think that would be a problem..

No run?

I hope you get a nice one in today! I'm going spinning tonight, wanna join me?

Good point, I dont think that'd be a problem at all

I'm just glad its not that deep breathing yoga stuff you've told me about

Er, not at all...

I'm going out to do some sprints in a little bit, I've been working out in the garden trying to keep the weeds and stuff under control. All that rain for the past few weeks made everything grow like crazy. I could use a hand... still need to do the flowers

**Eggs** · 05-21-2003, 09:14 AM

banana
yogurt
2 hb eggs

Carribean Melt
Umm, crab meat, fish... English muffins. Took my sister to a pub for lunch
