I work for a mobile veterinarian and right now I'm working in the office, but I will be back in the field in January. Since we tend to be on the road all day from farm to farm meals are a bit tough especially hot ones, but protein shakes will work well.

Devlin, learn to make some one pot dishes with brown rice, veggies and a protein. You can put them in tupperware and they aren't that bad cold or room temp. Especially if you use a tomato base and a little "heat" if you know what I mean. They are a snap to make give you the protien, carb and fat requirements you need in one 2 cup serving.

Devlin · 12-03-2005, 12:04 PM

Boiler-I probably will start making some one pot dishes after Christmas and New year's, but I will not be surprised with myself if I resort to protein shakes a lot.

Devlin · 12-03-2005, 12:44 PM

Well today was my day to work with personal trainer. He wanted to legs of course

but after some discussion about how he was messing up my splits he agreed to work chest instead

Chest

Warmup : 1/4 mile walk, 1/2 mile jog

1/8 mile walk

Pushups
BW x 15, 12, 12

Hammer Strength ios Bench press
20 (each arm) x 12, 10, 8

Incline Barbell Chest press
Empty Olympic bar x 6, 6, 6, 6

Flat Bench press
Empty Olympic bar x 8, 8, 8, 8

Tricep press down machine
60 x 15, 15
70 x 15

Pec Fly machine (dislike this machine

)
25 x 12, 12, 10

I'm happy with this workout, especially the bench presses with the olympic bar. I have wanted to start using the bar, but have been avoiding it until I had a spotter. I felt it was safer and I'm glad I waited since I needed the spotter for the last rep on each set of the incline bench press. Trainer was happy with the olympic bar work, said I did better at that then on the Hammer Strength bench press

By the time I hit the pec flies, my chest was to the point of saying

Wondering if I am going to be able to move arms or chest tomorrow

Archangel · 12-03-2005, 12:50 PM

w/o looks great, way to go on the BB Bench!!! I'm sure you'll be just fine tomorrow!!! Keep it up, awesome job imo!!!

Devlin · 12-03-2005, 01:03 PM

Arch- Thanks, but I am for seeing some ouchiness come tomorrow. Thankfully I have tomorrow off from work to recover.

Archangel · 12-03-2005, 01:10 PM

Off time does miracles, doesn't it!!!

Actually if I have too much off time, I don't know what to do. I am so used to working that I'm lost on days off especially when I have 2 days off in a row like this weekend.

I should have added that I finished the above workout off by doing laundry (requires carring laundry basket back up 2 flights of stairs) and by hanging lights from the roof of my balcony.

Nice wo Dev ,

Congrats on the Oly bar benchs. You'll be getting more looks from everyone now

Thanks GW....

As if I wasn't getting enough looks for being one of the few women at my gym that invades the free weight area to use the Hammer Strength machines and dumbbells.

Burner02 · 12-03-2005, 06:10 PM

call me kinda odd...but I like my chest sore...I like that pain....

Hottie cop? Did I tell you...I used to be a 'cop' in the AF? I still have my hand cuffs, even...good cardio: Keep me from catching you!

I am always late for work in the AM...they aren't the greatest health wise...but I go and get those hot pocket break fast sammiches...egg, bacon things. Toss one in the microwave in the am w/ your coffee and at least have some 'decent' cals 1st thing in the morning.

Ok Burner...you are odd

And I'm not going there with the handcuffs either

Devlin · 12-04-2005, 03:35 PM

Well I'm feeling yesterday's chest workout, but not too bad...yet.

Cardio:

Stairmaster: 20 minutes
5 minute mintervals at levels 5, 6, 7, 5

Recumbant bike: 20 minutes L3

Walk/jog cycles:
1/4 mile walk/ 1/4 mile jog
1/8 mile walk/ 3/4 mile jog

1/4 mile walk

Boring cardio only day. Was really sweating after the starirmaster and bike. My walk/jog cycles improving. I didn't have to push to hard to get the 3/4 mile jog in (had hit a nice pace) and didn't realize how winded I was until I stopped jogging. However it only took an 1/8 mile to catch my breath and get the heart rate back down. I considered another 1/4 mile jog at the end, but opted off since I was going to be walking more when I battled the stores (had to do a little shopping after the gym). Overall a good workout.

Pylon · 12-04-2005, 04:14 PM

Whatever happened to the idea of getting up 10 min earlier and eating real food? OK, if not, have a protein shake at least. Just coffee that early is tough on the system.

Nice job in redirecting the trainer. Remember, he's working for you, not the other way around.

10 minutes earlier?

Let's see starting mid Jan, I will probably not get home from work followed by gym until (if I'm lucky) 10pm if not later and I will probably be at work by 0530 which translates into me having to up and out of bed by 0400. Thinking the idea of 10 minutes earlier a good idea, but in reality I will enjoy sleeping those 10 minutes instead.

As for redirecting my trainer, I had mentioned he was killing my legs and knee and followed with he was messing up my splits. I think my trainer may be having a bit of a hard time in adjusting to me actually training versus his other clients who are the soccer moms or overweight chicks who think 'weight training' is either the "in thing" or that it will fix their fatness.

Atleast I found out why he decided to no longer work nights. He needs to get a second job since he is getting married in a month and his soon to be wife is expecting his baby. I may actually switch trainers to one that has a more flexable schedule and who is more into bodybuilding. Debating between 3 other trainers, 2 of which bodybuild and one of those quailfied for Nationals :wink:

Give it time. Sometimes DOMS takes up to 48 hours to fully hit.

Triple Threat · 12-04-2005, 07:20 PM

I, too, wake up early (4:30) on workout days. I mix all my protein powders, glutamine, etc the night before in a plastic container. I put my mixing cup filled with water in the fridge. Then in the morning, I dump the mix into the cup, shake it up, and down it. Two minutes tops.

I guess you could say I'm the Archie of pre-workout drinks.

I can see myself doing something like that. I can also see me doing that for my meals during the day too.

As for the DOMS, ohh yeah the DOMS kicking in more now. Was having some fun trying to wash my hair tonight

I like to make big batches of stuff. That way it lasts for a few days with no cooking or cleanup involved. Just dump it in tupperware and go. Alot of convenience stores have microwaves now. Sometimes I nuke it and buy a bottled water. No one has said anything as long as I'm buying something (gas or water). You can also add a different condiment to change the flavor if you are getting sick of it. I use soy sauce, schezwan sauce, italian dressing, etc. to do that.

Good job working out today. I didn't do anything. Well, I'm in the process of changing out a bathroom countertop. Damn women and their need for new colors!!!!!
