OK you are officially worse than me. You measure your CINNAMON?!?! That's got like a negligible amount of anything! hahahaha!

Yeah... cinnamon in rice and barley and oatmeal and eggs and chicken and and and... YUMMMM!

Dear Metabolism,

Please hurry up and stabilize. I am feeding you more food. Stop being hungry. You weren't hungry when I had you going at 1100 calories. Now I'm giving you 500 more and you're acting like a greedy little five year old. Seriously.

That shit ain't funny. Get your act together and work with me here.

Thanks much,
Ivonne

Do you still feel the 45 degree incline in your chest? Anything over 30 usually hits my delts harder than anything

Actually now that I think about it, it wasn't 45 it WAS 30. i'm a dummy.

Like I said, I am a measuring freak. I actually used to measure my salt and pepper too (don't tell anyone

) But I've gotten over that

The plan for today was to make it an off day. However, I'm gonna throw in some cardio. HIIT either on the stairmaster or the bike.

I really don't like the stationary bike. I don't know wtf is my problem with it. I have enough endurance, and I have strong legs. But for some reason, just the THOUGHT of getting on a stationary bike makes me tired, which is also why I've NEVER taken a spinning class (something I'm gonna do for the first time this month, oh boy).

At the same time that the thought of stationary cycling tires me out, it BORES me and makes me feel like I'm getting an incomplete workout. I feel like I'm only working out from the waist down, as opposed to when I use the treadmill or stairmaster, where my arms are pumping and moving as well. It stands to reason that I'd be more tired if I'm using my entire body, right? I know it's a flawed theory, if I'm working harder on the bike, even if it's from the waist down, I'll be more tired. It's all mental with me.

Anyway, yeah. HIIT today. And abs. Let's see if that damn girl isn't hogging my nat. crunch machine today. Did I mention what a bitch she was? I asked her if I could work in my three sets with hers and she flat out said no.

She said she rested too little between sets and would be there for a while. What the fuck? Is she doing 20 sets or something? That's why my ab routine was on the floor yesterday. I hope she's so sore today that she can't move. Bitch.

that is cool.....I would have said...."oh, that is alright you fat pig. i don't use machines for abs because I know how to really workout." Then I would have just done weighted sit ups. Screw ab machines.

hahahahahah! I kept my mean thoughts to myself (for once), but i did do weighted sit ups (well, crunches), along with a bunch of other things. hahaha!

P.S. She had braided pigtails, and i felt like pulling her off the machine by the damn things!

**P-funk** · 11-10-2004, 04:24 AM

mmmmm.........I love braided pigtails.

GoalGetter · 11-10-2004, 06:52 AM

Cardio

Well.... I confronted the bike head on.

I did about 12 minutes of HIIT before feeling like I was gonna pass out -- started out at 30/30, and the last few cycles at 40/30. By the time I stepped off the bike I was drenched. Then I did another round on the stairmaster. 10 minutes, level 20 intervals.

My legs, or rather my quads and hams, feel like they've doubled in size. The "teardrop" part of my quads is huuuuuuuuge. Holy crap i wish my legs looked like this every day. hahahaha!

Abs

Nat. weighted crunches

1 x 65lb x 20
1 x 75lb x 15 <---- was starting to use my arms to pull and rather than lose form, I went back to...
1 x 65lb x 20

Decline Crunches

3 x BW x 25 <----- moderately fast reps, hold for 30 seconds on last rep

This is one of the shitty things about increasing cals. I find myself wanting to eat the most when I am in a surplus of Cals.

Velvet · 11-10-2004, 08:06 AM

ya, Iain, what's up with that??? I'm the same way. sorry Ivy, yep today's breaky sounds soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo yummy..mine was good too tho, so can't complain..I had an oat and ew's pancake with natty spread down the middle and made into a crepe..yumm

HEY! Aren't you supposed to be super duper squiddle weedlie busy today and not online?

Vel: Damn. yours does sound yummy too.

Yes. Shhhhhh. I'm NOT SUPPOSED to be here, but my photoshop file is huge. Gigs-huge. SO every time i save or perform more than one thing on it, it takes forever, even on my supposedly very fast machine. So i have some down time every few minutes.

Just have to be quick so my boss doesn't walk in and bust me "not working" even though I am. haha!

Iain: ARRGH. This sucks. It's the first time I do this (conscious of what I'm doing) with my calories, so I didn't know what to expect. And it's crazy. I just ate my 8 AM meal, and normally, I wouldn't even be thinking of food right now on my 1100 cal days. Yet, my stomach is GROWLING right now.

**P-funk** · 11-10-2004, 08:14 AM

1100 calorie days should never exist.....I could see if maybe it was the week before a contest and you weren't eating carbs or something but c'mon. that is way to low.

Patrick - I'm not doing that anymore. I'm just referring to when I was. Like, um... up to last week hahaha! I spent almost 3 months between 1000-1200 calories from July to late October.

**P-funk** · 11-10-2004, 08:21 AM

I am hungry just thinking about it. LOL, my meals are about 650 cals each.....I would be done eating after 2 meals.
