Hey Everyone

So, I've decided to start journalling my diet and workouts again to help me out.

Friday

Saturday

That's a lot of cardio. I'd take at least one day off. Where in Mexico are you going?

klmclean · 10-11-2005, 11:26 AM

Cancun, I've never been before so I'm pretty excited, it's kind of my last chance before I settle down to go away and let loose. I know it's a lot of cardio, and I'm sure I will take a day off, but I want to make sure I get at least six days a week of cardio in. I'll probably end up taking Sunday off with no cardio

Cancun sounds fun. You'll have a blast!! It's nice to have something to motivate you to hit the gym hard.

Taking Sunday off would be a good idea

Good luck

klmclean · 10-11-2005, 11:30 AM

Thanks

Have you ever been there before?

yellowmoomba · 10-11-2005, 11:33 AM

I've been to Cabo San Lucas but not Cancun. A bunch of my friends have been to Cancun. They partied like Rock Stars

This is the amound of cardio I did in the past to achieve my six pack, I can always cut back if I need to, I'm going to see what happens. I've already been doing four to five spin classes a week for the last five months with no muscle loss, and if I need to, I can always up my calories. I'll have to take one day at a time and adjust accordingly

TJ Cline · 10-11-2005, 01:42 PM

I would ask emma for her advice on the calories and cardio......
Shy seems to be right on all the time.

Funny you should say that, those macros I'm using are from Emma when I asked for her help in the past

She's a great resource person! I know she probably wouldn't agree wtih the amount of cardio though

I decided to cut it down to five spin classes a week, I'm so bored of cardio equipment anyways

What's Platz's squat for cardio

Never run a cardio circuit or use weights as a circuit, but I really, really, really love my spin classes, it's amazing how these classes shape your legs

and I never get bored of them because they're so challenging.

Hey Klmclean, how's it going. Just wondering, what is Basa Fish? you're way up north aren't you. I have a place in the u.p., but you are latitudes past that.

Hey there, welcome to my journal

Basa fish is a catfish I beleive, I get it at Safeway grocery store, there are never any bones in it, I love it. It's from a company called Aquastar, if you look Aquastar up on the net the site should tell you where you can purchase it

boilermaker · 10-12-2005, 09:17 PM

I love fish, so I'll have to check that out. Is it cheap? Good luck with your goals. I'm sure you'll be glad to get out of the tundra for a while in January!

It's about $15.00 per bag, you get about 6 huge filets in there. Thanks for the encouragement

boilermaker · 10-13-2005, 12:33 AM

Hey Klmclean,

I don't want to put you off or anything, but I did some research on Basa Fish and you might want to do the same. I just typed in Basa Fish on yahoo explorer.
