I could easily do this with a shake but i don't want to.

Basically the buffalo and the squash threw me off - i came in a little under on my calories for the day when I planned this out last night. Add to that the fact that i won't have a PWO shake on non-weights days because I do HIIT those days, so by the time I eat it's right on schedule for my next meal.

OK you can laugh at me now. I know. I'm

na, it all sounds pretty familiar...

and I'm with you on the shake...I would much rather EAT my food then drink it!

EXACTLY. hahahahaha I try to reserve shakes for PWO and emergencies (Like yesterday being stuck in traffic for over an hour in a 1.5 mile drive due to a gas leak).

I like whole food as much as possible when I am dieting but when I am bulking up I have to pound down shakes, otherwise I just can't eat that many calories.

Yeah those damn shakes. on my non-weights days, since i don't have a shake, i don't make it to my target cals. And I suppose you could say i'm on a smallish, not quite full on bulk phase at the moment, which would make it ok. But I just feel dirty having a shake when I know I can eat real food.

Hey Ivy

Just wondering is your cottage cheese/peanut butter/chocolate syrup combo good? What's it taste like? Just the chocoholic in my wondering

Honestly? It's probably really nasty to someone who is used to eating sugar and REAL treats. But to me, it's friggin heaven. It tastes slightly cottage-cheesy, but creamier and of course somewhat peanutbuttery (could be more peanutbuttery but i don't go overboard on the pb), and I add the bit of sugar free chocolate syrup for color and flavor (not too much because it gives me stomach ache otherwise). I also sprinkle a teeny bit of cinnamon on it. It's good, to me. But my tastebuds have been severely warped over the course of the last few months. hahaha!

However it's a great source of protein and healthy fats for a night time meal.

GoalGetter · 11-17-2004, 08:14 PM

I've seen previews for two movies that look to be pretty good!

Kinsey (about, yes, that Kinsey), and Spanglish (an A. Sandler flick, and I like him quite a bit).

Yay!

**P-funk** · 11-17-2004, 08:59 PM

Spanglish has to be good. My boy Adam Sandler has yet to let me down.

I ALMOST agree 100%, except I hated Little Nicky. I even liked Punch-Drunk Love (which a lot of people thought sucked). OK, "hate" is a pretty strong word, but Little Nicky just annoyed me like you can't imagine. However, I forgive him for that one bad movie. It's ok.

GoalGetter · 11-18-2004, 03:44 AM

The plan for today - Delts and Abs and some cardio.

Still trying to do everything unilateral, so no nautilus machines on the agenda today, except maybe the reverse pec dec for rear delts (as a second option). Sticking to dumbells, plates and cables.

As for food, damn I wish I could afford to eat buffalo every day.

LMAO, LIttle Nicky was so "stupid funny" it was great. There were so many dumb scences in it that I couldn't stop laughing. I have never seen punch drunk love. I need to see that one. maybe on thanksgiving.

I love Buffalo steak. I wish I could have it daily as well.

Good Morning GoalGetter (not stingy

Of all the A.S. movies my faves are Wedding Singer, Big Daddy and 8 Crazy Nights. hahahaha! (I guess you can see the connection -- they all have the best music).

Good morning to you too, ladies!

Crazy morning here at work. JUST got to my computer, tough i've been here for an hour and a half already. hahahaha.

By the way, you know it's going to be a crappy day (ha ha pun intended, you'll see), when you go use the bathroom and your favorite toilet is clogged up and overflowing with someone's poop and what seems to be a whole roll of TP.

And yes. I have a favorite toilet. It's the one in the handicapped stall on the first floor of my building. It's a huge stall with its own sink and a wall of mirror, and a couch, which I use quite often to take breaks and pseudo naps. The toilet itself is the least of my concerns. It's my favorite stall. And someone took a nasty, toilet-clogging dump, rendering my favorite stall "out of order" until further notice. Nasty bitch, whoever did it.

GoalGetter · 11-18-2004, 08:10 AM

Delts

Superset #1:

DB Shoulder Press
4 x 15lb x 12/10/10/8

Arnold Press
4 x 15lb x 10/10/8/8 <----barely on that last one

Superset #2 (sortof, same exercise different weight/reps):

Front Raises with Plates* instead of dumbells
one of each, three times
3 x 25lb plate x 8/8/8
3 x 10lb + 5lb plate x 12/10/10

Superset #3:

Bent-Over Side Raises (Rear delts)
3 x 8lb x 15/12/12
2 x 12lb x 12/12

Side and Front Alternating Raises with plates instead of DBs in each hand
4 x 10lb plates x 10/10/8/8

At this point, my left shoulder started to hurt/pinch a little, so I did one more set of rear delts but didn't finish up the superset. Better safe than sorry as "they" say.

Abs

Nat. Crunch
3 x 20

High Chair Knee Raises
3 x 15

No cardio. Tomorrow is leg day and I plan to go balls to the wall on that. Decided to take it easy since I did bike and stairmaster yesterday.

*The reason I used plates for some of my sets was that the dumbells were strewn all over the damn place. SERIOUSLY there were barely any dumbells on the racks. I had to go hunting for anythign I wanted to use. It was horribly annoying and I let management know on my way out that this kind of crap is unacceptable. The gym had only been open for about 30 minutes when I got there. There is NO WAY that this mess was made in those 30 minutes. Someone didn't do their job last night. That's what it comes down to. Everyone in the free-weight area was annoyed to high hell.

Oh and all rest intervals were 30-35 seconds, which was tough to accomplish as I was playing beat-the-clock trying to find the right dumbells, before settling on the plates which were closer to my bench and easily accessible.

Jill · 11-18-2004, 08:19 AM

Weird...I usuallly grab the handicap stall's too, not that I need it or anything

Have you ever tried front raises but with 1 dumbell??? They are great

You know? I haven't tried that, no. I would have today, if I could even GET a dumbell. But when i say they were all over, i mean they were really all the fuck over. It looked like a dumbell explosion.

I'll keep it in mind for my next delt day, though!

And the hc stall - yeah i just like the roominess, and the fact that i can just do all my stuff in one place (pee, wash my hands, fix my hair in front of the mirror, etc.) and with quasi-privacy. I hate small talk in the bathroom, and i hate running into people there so the hc stall is my favorite.
