This seems to be working. I am eating carbs, but the ones that I am eating are good carbs. 9 grain breads, sweet potatoes, Whole wheat everything.....
I eat a bagel in the mornings with light cream cheese...It's just a great "no diet" diet...
I also figured that I sweat enough at the gym these past two days that the fat is burning off, however I also understand that even after working out, your muscles continue burning.....
It's amazing....

and for those of us that have no desire to compete, this is how to start it off right! Many can get great results just be cutting out a lot of bad food. Of course exercise is mandatory, but eating right will get you more than on your way. Way to go Sir Tony!

Thanks Senor NT, that is the right approach.
I have dropped 5 pounds by working out and eating what I want, but not in excess and cutting the fat out of the diet.....Kiss style (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Thanks for the words of support Dan, I can definitely use them....

Have a GREAT w/o today Brother. I'm rootin' for ya

fantasma62 · 02-04-2005, 10:44 AM

Thanks a bunch Arch.....

fantasma62 · 02-05-2005, 07:55 AM

Well, changed things up a little bit. I decided that I had to have a saturday or sunday workout, since weekends are the worse possible time for me not to work out. So, I got up early today (went to sleep really early yest.) and worked out. I am not queezy, but I am very unsteady and you'll see why:

-Leg Curls: 10 x 110
-Leg Extension: 10 x 150
-Leg Press: 10 x 360 (I am freaking getting there

)
-Straight Arm Pullover: 10 x 50 (Done under proper form, I increased the weight)
-Bent Over row with palms facing out: 10 x 80 (pretty much stayed the same here)
-Overhead Press: 10 x 120 (I squeezed that last rep and completely fell appart when I finished)
-Bicep Curl with barbell: 10 x 50 (I squeezed that last rep and I don't know how)

All in all, happy with my workout, my leg press is getting, oh, so much stronger and I increased the weight in a most exercises so that there was no chance in hell that I would get to 12 reps. Once I see that I get to 12 reps (12th being my failure rep), I will increase again......
I pretty much squeezed my last ounce of energy in each of these workouts. I didn't feel queezy, which worried me, but then again, that probably means my body is getting used to working out again...
Meanwhile, I am in pain now as I can barely type and I am sure I'll fall sideways today at least once.....
Laters....

crazy_enough · 02-05-2005, 08:02 AM

woohoo! Great w/o Tony! "Bent Over row with palms facing out"(I should try that!!)
I dragged myself outta bed this morning to train as well, even tho its my wife's b-day and I just oh so wanted to stay in bed and snuggle!lol

Oh ya, u said no more complaining in your journal right!? My bad!

Go Tony!

gwcaton · 02-05-2005, 08:02 AM

Good work out Tony

Hiya, the only one not allowed to complain here is me. All other complainers are welcome. By the way, your wife is going to kick your arse

Working out on her birthday? Here is an idea, make her really pissed at you and have her chase you around a bit, when she's about to faint, let her catch you. What happens after is up to you and her......

Hey Gdub,

Kiss is working so far. I literally am eating well and not starving. If I lose a total of 5-6 pounds this week, I'll call it a success, an amazing success....
Man, I am in pain, even my hands are shaking.....

crazy_enough · 02-05-2005, 08:08 AM

I know, she moaned something along the lines of "where the f*ck do u think ur going?!"...

I just smiled and said "shhhh, babe ur old now, get some rest"...and walked out!!lol Ill have b-fast in bed ready for her to reduce the "mad" factor, and maybe try out ur suggestion!l

Well, I suggest that for breakfast in bed, you remove what you'd normally eat and give her what you would not dare eat.....Or, give her what you normally eat so that you can apply my other suggestion and run like hell....

AWESOME Brother!!! I suggest maybe you try an every other day approach. That way you work out on the wekends sometimes

Your starting to become a "Beast" as my daughter calls me

Everytime we watch "Beauty and the Beast" Lil Bit always says Belle is Momma, and Beast is Daddy

Sorry Brother, didn't mean to

Arch, never ever apologize for talking, what you are saying makes sense to me about the kids. I normally don't have many people here to talk to that are going thru the same thing now. There are a bunch of great folks that have already been thru this (Like Grandpa Gdub

), but nobody is currently being amused by 3 year old girls, so please post away, I am entertained. By the way, I haven't been called a beast yet, although, believe me, I have the look for it

.
My daughter is simply into all the princesses, one day, she'll watch Cinderella, another she'll watch Snow White (In spanish mind you), other Beauty and the Beast and then suddenly, she'll go into Dora, The Wiggles and Blues mode.....children...

Thanks for the suggestion about the workout. I have been feeling that maybe I should make it every other day but instead, since sundays are dedicated to my kids (except during football season, where 3 hours are dedicated to the Dolphins), I am going to work out those 3 days a week and have that very needed saturday workout. It was so empty this morning...
I can't believe I woke up early to work out. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be doing that. My mind must be getting it, right?

fantasma62 · 02-05-2005, 06:54 PM

Well, today was the finish of my first week of HIT. I have to tell ya'll that I love the workout. It's quick but oh so immensely painful. I usually go one more rep after the massive burn out. You know, when you do one rep and your muscle burns like a mofo, then I do one more almost screaming to get it done and very slowly to cause even more extraordinary pain....

I have to say that changing one of my workouts for saturday was one of the best things I could have done. The gym was almost empty and in fact there were a bunch of older folks there, rather than the younger ones that embarrass you when you think you are a bad-ass and just finish doing 270 pound on the leg press, you see that punk add another 90 pounds and go at it...Ok, so that prompted me to add another 90 pounds today....I'll show them. The best part is that I didn't struggle with the 360 pounds, it was more like second nature. Of course as I was getting past 8 then I struggled, but was able to pull myself together and FAIL....
Great suggestion Rock, I have you to thank for this. Du, thanks for the wealth of info and Arch, thanks for being on top of my workout, I appreciated your imput very much......

It's been a good week....

Archangel · 02-05-2005, 11:18 PM

My pleasure!!!

Sounds and looks to me like you definately are getting it

Keep pushin up

TheWolf · 02-06-2005, 10:15 PM

Looking good Tony.

Sounds like you are really in the goove. Keep up the hard work.

crazy_enough · 02-07-2005, 07:56 AM

Week one seemed super productive!! ON with week 2!!
U ROK!

fantasma62 · 02-07-2005, 09:58 AM

Archangel: thanks.....

CE: thanks so much for the encouragement.

Wolf: nice to see you here. Once I am a little more mentally settled (no, I am not crazy) I will be by all the journals of my buddies to see what's doing....

Today my diet becomes more strict.
I just made a blog (I figure it's the in thing to do) where I will journalize everything having to do with my diet and training to keep along with this one. I will post here too people, it's just that there may be other things, thoughts, etc. that I may want to keep to myself and those close to me.
You never know, I may write a book one day, a best seller no less.....
