1 to 5, 5 to 10

**Fitgirl70** · 09-06-2006, 08:49 AM

I couldn't come up w/ a name for my new journal, so why not just call it like it is? 1 pound to 5, then 5 pounds to 10.

The short term goal is to lose 5 pounds by my bday of 9/30. That's 24 days from now! I don't think that's asking too much, do you?

My goal after that will be to lose another 5 pounds by Halloween. That will be 10 pounds in two months. Do-able?

Just to catch you guys up a little. I won't be doing the show in November. It appears that my IVF will be coming up about that time and it's about damn time -- that's all I gotta say!

We are happy and we are praying that it results in a wonderful baby miracle for us. We are prepared that we may get twins! So, until then, it's just lose a little more, get healthier, eat healthy and continue my workouts.

Cardio will still be top priority, and my weight training will be changed a little. I am going back to a full body workout and will not go light, but will not go heavy. I want to stay somewhere right in the middle but still with very little rest between sets. My goals is to finish my weight training w/in 30 minutes.

OK, here we go:

No cardio this morning since we just got in late yesterday and I'm fighting a cold. I plan to go in the morning for cardio.

I won't post foods because my diet might be a little different from day to day and depending on how I feel, but I'm going back to eating mostly veggies, fruits, chicken and stuff like that. No breads, no cokes, no sweets! Period!

OK, be back later to check on my new space. Oh, I gained no weight on our little trip/vacation -- which is a good thing. I'm still weighing 120. I guess all that walking and hiking we did paid off.

Peace,
Fitty

I missed you too jellybean!

I think I'm going to shoot for 4 days a week for full body for now. I'm also going to shoot for 5 to 6 days for cardio. My plan is to knock out the weights really quick and then move on to cardio. I'm going to try to keep my cardio strictly to stepmill and elliptical.

The trip was good aside from coming home w/ a cold. I will try to have some pics up soon!

**Burner02** · 09-06-2006, 12:40 PM

hey beautiful! Hope you had a great time here! WIsh I coulda seen you...I was even looking to do a little 'road trip'....but wasn't able to....
10lbs in 2 months? For you? Walk in the park! You have the motivation and drive...
did I hear that right? You are gonna do your whole body 4 days a week?

**Fitgirl70** · 09-06-2006, 12:54 PM

Yep, I'm going to try to do that 4 days a week. We'll see how it works out!

**Burner02** · 09-06-2006, 01:08 PM

when ya gonna let the muscles rest?

**Fitgirl70** · 09-06-2006, 01:16 PM

I'm thinking I might do something like
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday. That should be good

**Burner02** · 09-06-2006, 01:39 PM

or...monday, tuesday, thursday and friday....my 'cycle II' schedule. push/pull?
have weekends and wednesday to recover? (or cardio)

**Burner02** · 09-06-2006, 01:40 PM

or...whole body, three times per week: mon/wed/fri?

**Fitgirl70** · 09-06-2006, 01:52 PM

yeah...same difference! I think it will be okay. I'm gonna try it and then see how it works. I may change to a Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat type deal...we'll see. I want to do more than three times per week, so we'll see how the four starts out.

**Triple Threat** · 09-06-2006, 02:37 PM

You could always do M/W/F/Su/Tu/Th/Sa

7 times over a 2 week period = 3.5 workouts per week. Nothing says it has to be exactly 3 or 4 every week.

**Fitgirl70** · 09-06-2006, 02:41 PM

Yeah, and I may even change it up from week to week, depending on what's happenin', and I usually don't workout on Sundays -- so for now I'll just keep it to that. If I find out it's too much or if I don't like it, I'll change it up. I have someone kinda helping me too, and this is what he suggested, so let's see what happens...

**Fitgirl70** · 09-07-2006, 07:09 AM

No workout this morning, I....HAVE....GOT....TO....GET....RID....OF....THIS ....STUPID....SORE THROAT!!!

So needless to say, I got no sleep last night. I did bring my stuff though and I plan to workout this afternoon at lunchtime.

I also wrote down my workout, so I'll be postin' that after I'm done.

OK, gotta go get something to eat so I can take my supps! Be right back to make the rounds.

**Burner02** · 09-07-2006, 10:04 AM

hey hottie!
um...if u are still sick....take it easy for another day...let yor body heal...then you can attack.

**Fitgirl70** · 09-07-2006, 10:08 AM

Ok, it is now

ummm, NO!

**b_reed23** · 09-07-2006, 11:35 AM

hi Tammy!! Take it easy til you feel better!! I would say go with a 3x a week on fullbody..4 days isn't giving you enough rest in between workouts

so..is that website you gave to me going to pay for your IVF?? We are thinking on it...

**Fitgirl70** · 09-07-2006, 11:40 AM

hey jellybean. Yes, it is. They pay 100% of the cost...the problem is, it takes about 8 to 10 months before you come up for your services.....luckily our timeframe is just about up!!!

I'm gonna give the 4x/week a shot and just see how it works out. I may find that it's too much....and will have to decrease to 3x/week....we'll see what the growth does.
