At first I thought I was just getting burnt on that one leg but then I was like- shit, it stings so I got out and there it was!! My leg swelled up a little and still isn't completly back down, but I'm venturing back to the tanning bed today!

I conquered the tanning bed- no bees!!!

I am SOOOO happy it's Friday!!

I posted my question in another thread, but maybe somebody who's reading this can answer it!! WTF is going on with my body?? Like this morning, for breakfast I had 4 oz. bonless/skinless chicken, lettuce and I am SOOOOO bloated. I know this happens if you eat too many veggies but this has really got to stop. It's Friday and I can't go out tonight looking prego!!

Didn't go to power sculpting last night, but I did 20 minutes on my treadmill while I watched Friends last night

Todays Workout: Cardio / Abs

*Is there really a big difference if I do 20 minutes of cardio every day to equal 140 minutes OR if I do 3 workout per week of 45 minutes?

Meals Today:

1: 4 oz. chicken, lettuce
* Pills * (I hate taking pills!!!)

I think that 20 minutes of HIIT would be much more effective than 45 minute low-intensity sessions. Have you ever tried sprints, etc.?

Thanks Mike, I thought so too. I usually do 10 minutes on an incline just walking and then 10 minutes of HIIT. I've done sprints, I like them, I may start doing them again, especially since it's been so pretty outside latley!!

Happy Monday Everyone!!

My weekend went pretty good, Friday night I went shopping and then hung around with my cousin Nicole and Saturday I went shopping again and then went to this bar on the lake with some friends that night. Didn't get in the bed until six that morning and then had to get up at nine to get ready to go to my grandma's for Mother's Day breakfast (behaved here- cottage cheese, yogurt and fruit) and then went out for a late lunch with my mom later that day (very bad girl , but oh so worth it!!) My mom picked this awesome Chinese place and it was sooo good. But, I do need one day a week to not be so strict on myself so that was it, and my mom gets really upset about my dieting anyhow, so I figured what the hell- it's Mother's Day, don't piss her off!

Didn't really have any specific workout this weekend- lots of walking while shopping, and did some squats/lunges/leg lifts at home both days. Saturday's eating was very light but it was soooo hot out I just wasn't up for much of anything. Got to get some sun though!! My grandma's opening the pool this weekend but I'll be gone to bike week at Myrtle Beach so when I come home I can start going there everyday after work and get some laps in.

Today: I feel icky bloaty from yesterday so I'm chugging some water.

Meal 1: 1 cup lf cottage cheese, 1/2 cup fiber one
*pills

Workout: Legs/ Cardio- bicycle 15 mins. after legs hopefully if there's time, going to try to superset my workout today to make time.

Meal 2: 1 low carb tortilla, 2.5 oz. chicken, spinach leaves

Meal 3: 1 low carb tortilla, 2.5 oz. chicken, cabbage

CARDIO- 20 minutes HIIT, 10 minutes on incline at 3.5

Meal 4: 4 oz. chicken, 2 oz. shrimp, veggies

I may add in another meal later Greeky, my stomach is just hurting from yesterday still.

Couldn't do legs today damn it!!! Stupid guy was on the smith machine forever

Did back/biceps. Have to do DB curls tonight though, but had a pretty good workout overall. 20 minutes on the bike doing intervals.

I think I'm going to try this routine on leg day and *TRY* superset.

Superset:
ATF squats/ Pile Squats/Calf Raises

3 sets 8 reps
*add 10 lbs.
3 sets 5 reps
*add 10 lbs.
5 sets 3 reps


Superset:
SL Deadlifts/ Deadlifts

3 sets 8 reps
*add 10 lbs.
3 sets 5 reps
*add 10 lbs.
5 sets 3 reps

Then finish with lunges, hamstring curls, squat press, inner/outer thigh machine and leg extensions.

dang you gotta yell at them boys on the SM! at least you still did back/bi's!

superset looks FUN! :P
however on the second one I would only do ONE deadlift move and superset that with either lunges or the squat press. no need for the inner/outer thigh machine either!

Hi nc! Just wandering in here since youve been helping me out.
So how have you been progressing? Are you seeing the results you were aiming for?
How are you looking/feeling since you started? you seem to be doing great

Hey Emma Thanks for stopping by sweetie!! I feel great since I've started, healthy eating really does effect your mood. I don't feel sluggish anymore and when I eat something bad- my body gets pissed off at me!! I don't *yet* have the results I'm aiming for, but I'm sure with time and dedication I will. I have definatly improved my body though so that I'm happy with

My workout went good- but I couldn't get all of that in. This is what I did:

6 minutes on the exercise bike

Superset: ATF squats, Pile Squats, Calf Raises
3x8, add 10, 3x5, add 10, 3x3

SLDL
3x8, add 10, 3x5, add 10, 3x5 (next time will start with higher weight)

Squat Press
2x6 (200 lbs.)

Hamstring Curls
3x10

6 minutes on the exercise bike

Hamstring Curls Again
2x8

Will do lunges tonight with light or no weight at home and a cardio workout. I'm going to be super busy tonight- gotta go tan, get my nails done, go to Wally World to get stuff for the beach, go grocery shopping, cook supper, do laundry and clean my house.

My calories really aren't low, they just look like it because I don't post the amout of the veggies I eat. I usually end up adding in another meal too, but when I plug everything into Fitday I end up with around 1600 calories. I can eat A LOT, and I mean A LOT of veggies. I can knock out the family size bag of broccoli by myself.

Thanks for checking up on me girls!!

I also have one rather high calorie day a week, usually on Saturday or Sunday where I eat some of my favorites and say screw the rest
