The 'Real' Next Level

Miss LeDix · 06-17-2002, 03:02 AM

Morning peeps! I'm starting a new journal (kuso, will you please close the other one). Even though I don't have lots of time to 'cackle', 'squak', or be pornal with all my buddies here, I do have time to log my food and general information regarding my workouts.

I have gained about five pounds in the last six weeks or so, and it's not muscle.

It's cookies at work, it's walnuts and almonds at home, it's all that catching up to me. So, I need to start a new page, start a new journal, and start a new way of thinking. I'm extremely disappointed in my lack of will power recently, and I'm going to work hard at improving it.

Today will be a good challenge, as there are still two types of cookies and iced raisin bread at work. This is leftover from someone bringing breakfast in on Friday. We'll see how it goes.

Workout for today is back and biceps. Meals will be posted below.

I welcome all feedback on diet and training. I guess I also welcome any non-fitness related banter as well.

Weight: 125.4 lbs
Started workout at 5:36, ended (lifting) at 6:17

Workout:

Sitting Row 40*15,50*12,60*10
Pull Down 50*15,60*12,70*8
Bent Over Row (with bar) 30*15,40*15,50*10
Supinating DB Curl 15*12,15*12,20*10
Hammer Curl 15*12,15*12,20*10
Concentration Curl 10*12,15*8
Assisted Pull Up 50*10,60*10,50*6

Finished off with 10 minutes of moderate interval work on stairmaster,

Meal 1: EAS Results for Her shake, 1/2 cup Fiber One cereal (dry)
Meal 2: Post workout, Balance Bar (Chocolate Banana)
Meal 3: Six eggs (five white, one yolk) scrambled...and since Lina posts the pills she takes, I thought I would post mine. 5 Pentasa, 1 Imuran, 1 multi-vitamin, 1 Viactiv
Meal 4: 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, one Gala apple, sprinkled with cinammon
Meal 5: Two small cans of albacore tuna (in water), one Golden Delicous apple, 5 Pentasa
Meal 6: One slice of this all natural 'fitness bread' I got at the International Farmers Market...it's from Germany, whole grain, 7 grams of fiber per slice, slice is about 75% as big as a normal slice of bread, with some all natural peanut butter and blueberry fruit preserves
Meal 7: Grilled chicken breast, peas, five Pentasa, one Viactiv
Damn....did I eat too much today???

Good News is that I did not eat any of the lemon cookies, any of the pink cookies, or any of the iced raisin bread. Also I went to a meeting off-site and there was a tray of food that I did not touch.
Bad News is that I did have three or four small cinammon hard candies and one mini-mini Peppermint Pattie

Hi Miss L!

Your workout looks awesome! 5 lbs is not a whole lot and your weight does vary with water intake, pms, etc. don't fret a lot K? It is not unusual for me to fluctuate that much in 1 week!

Keep strong at work today!

craig777 · 06-17-2002, 07:02 AM

I can help you take it back off Miss LeDix, just let me chase you around the room.

Had to be the first to be pornal.

Just get back into your routine. You took a little break. We will be here to spank your butt if you do it again.

J'Bo · 06-17-2002, 07:16 AM

Finding a new workout routine and diet adjustments always helps me get back on track.

kuso · 06-17-2002, 07:17 AM

Whats this???? A new thread to pornalise, and I wasn`t invited

Your old one is closed.....for now

Some advice.....IMPO you`re doing a a feww too many sets, particularly for bi`s. All of your back exercises incorporate your bi`s so they will already be somewhat fatigued......9 sets on top of that could be overkill.

Stacey · 06-17-2002, 08:44 AM

Hey Miss Ledix! Great idea to start a new journal..I was thinking of doing the same thing!
Great food this morning..keep it up babe! Like Lina said, don't stress out TOO much on the 5lb. gain..but I do know how ya feel. I freak out to when the numbers go up! You cought it in time though and you have a 'fit' mind, so I know you will get back on track just fine! Have a great day girlie!!

Miss LeDix · 06-17-2002, 08:52 AM

Lina, thank you for the support. It is now 10:52 and I have not had a cookie or any of the iced raisin bread.

Craig, you should feel special to be the first to pornalize my journal. I think kuso was quite jealous.

J'Bo, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your help!

kuso, don't be mad for not having an official invite! Thanks for the information on biceps...I'm trying to really work them, they never get sore!!

Princess, you're sweet! That would be cool if you started a new journal like me!

Back to work for now peeps! Thanks for all the love and support!

Stacey · 06-17-2002, 09:54 AM

Hey Miss Ledix~ hey hon.. I wish I had time to start a new journal.. I could do fast replys and all while at work.. but starting a journal will have to take place at my moms.... I think I will just keep mine for now..but I will soon!

nikegurl · 06-17-2002, 10:10 AM

you go girl! fresh start in a fresh journal with a new routine coming. don't forget for even a minute how much great progress you've made! you'll surely make more but don't be down on yourself. (listen to Lina!)

hmmm.....maybe i need a new journal too. i changed the diet starting today. it might just be time!

J'Bo · 06-17-2002, 11:07 AM

NG good idea, i wanted to read your current journal but boy is it full.

I am going to start a new one too.
Check out Lina's she has a nice structured template one, maybe she could email us the template

nikegurl · 06-17-2002, 11:25 AM

what a GREAT idea J'Bo! I started keeping mine a bit easier to read after seeing her example but it's not as clear as it could be - that's for sure.

See Miss LeDix? You lit a fire under all our collective butts!
(thanks, Lady!)

Miss LeDix · 06-17-2002, 11:35 AM

Princess, I am confused why a new journal would require you to start it at work??

J'Bo and Nikegurl, thanks! I'm glad I've motivated all parties involved!

I'm leaving the office now and will be gone all day! Have a great Monday!

Stacey · 06-17-2002, 12:14 PM

Hey Miss ledix.. well lucky you off for the day???
Remember girl.. I don't have my computer set up at home.. saving for an awesome one!

Sooo I use my moms when at her house!! I can do it when I slow down here at work sometime!

laters babe..have a great afternoon!

Miss LeDix · 06-17-2002, 03:04 PM

Actually, I went from one office to another for a meeting. But I still got home about 1/2 an hour earlier than usual so that's good!

Stacey · 06-17-2002, 03:20 PM

oh ~ Thats still cool!! Hey~ So your still working out in the mornings huh? Every Morning?

Just curious!!

Miss LeDix · 06-17-2002, 03:22 PM

I work out in the morning, before work. I get up around 4:40 to be at the gym by about 5:30. I do this M-F. Saturday I usually work out at home, jogging or walking.

I remember you talking about switching to morning workouts...

butterfly · 06-17-2002, 03:28 PM

I am SOOOO NOT a morning person

**Mudge** · 06-17-2002, 03:34 PM

It goes on easy, and hard to get off isn't it

I try to allow myself to have something maybe once a week (in moderation) so that I can put up with the rest of the week diet wise. Otherwise, to be quite honest, I have had weekends where 1/2 gallon of ice cream is 2 for 1, and I will finish both of them before the weekend is over! So, before I snap and goof up that badly, I'm trying to minimize the damage because once its on, it doesn't want to come off without a fight...

Miss LeDix · 06-17-2002, 03:38 PM

Mudge, I totally understand what you are saying! I don't have junk at the house (except for almonds, but that's no more)...my main issue is going out with friends or to friends houses...

No self control. However, I did not havy any cookies at work today!

Butterfly, you don't like to get up at the butt crack of dawn like me?

Stacey · 06-17-2002, 03:48 PM

I am not a morning person either!!!

I have tried it a bunch.. its great ONCE I get to the gym.. but getting up that early is another story!! Miss Ledix I give you a TON Of credit, anD Bow-downs to that!!

(and to Fitgirl also..shes a morning riser)
I get up..after the sun!

Twin Peak · 06-17-2002, 04:07 PM

Hey Miss L -- good luck! After you get to where you want to be Lifeservices makes some low carb cookie mix that you might want to try if you need that cookie fix. I bought some but haven't made them yet, I'll report back to you. There muffins aren't half bad.

COOKIES

Tuesday, June 18

The news today is buzzing over the fence Israel is building around the borders of the West Bank. 1 million dollars per mile (per foot? per something) is what they said. I wonder if it will help? As the news said, it's a desperate attempt to keep suicice bombers out. Oh, what an awful situation.

Today is shoulders, cardio, and abs. Cardio will be 20-30 minutes on the treadmill...intervals of running, walking, and jogging. I usually change my speed every minute or so. I am taking the pull-out section from MF Hers all about abs to give me some ideas for new ab excercises. Shoulders will consist of lateral raises, shoulder press, and I'm not sure what else...may ask some of my friendly gym peeps for some ideas.

Now that yesterday is through, will some of you please take a look at my food from yesterday and give me some feedback? Honest, gritty, doesn't have to be sugar coated, feedback, kay?

Meals For Today

Meal 1: .5 Lean Body PB Bar, .5 cup Fiber One cereal (dry)
Meal 2: .5 Lean Body PB Bar (post workout)
Meal 3: Six eggs (one yolk, five white) scrambled Five Pentasa, One Imuran, One Multi-Vitamin, One Viactiv
Meal 4: Approx .5 cup lowfat cottage cheese, apple, sprinkled with cinammon
Meal 5: Turkey burger (homemade, extra lean turkey breast), peas (leftover from last night) Five Pentasa
Meal 6: One slice of fitness bread (see yesterday's entry for description), all natural PB, all natural fruit preserves
Meal 7: One can albacore tuna (in water, low sodium), .5 small sweet potato sprinkled with cinammon

Good News: There is still leftover cookies and such in the break room. I did not have any!
Bad News: I did have a couple of cinammon candies, one small chocolate candy from the candy jar

Miss LeDix · 06-18-2002, 03:00 AM

Twin Peak, I don't think I need any type of cookie! But please tell butterfly the details before she freaks!

She's had one too many Isopure shakes...can you tell???

craig777 · 06-18-2002, 06:17 AM

OK, here is my take on the food.

For post workout I would get rid of the bar and get some protein like Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex, or Whey protein and then eat some fruit with it.

For the other meals with a protein and a fruit I would try to get a complex carb in there like veggies. The fruit has fructose and is going to raise your insulin more than you want it to.

Meals 4 and 5 eat the protein and veggies, or sweet potato, or brown rice. Eat the fruits but sparingly.

The meal with the bread, peanut butter, and preserves is also going to put your insulin higher than you want and there isn't a lot of protein in peanut butter.

I would switch meal 6 and 1 around if you really have to have the peanut butter, and preserves.

The candies during the day are going to raise your insulin also.

The bottom line is you can't lose fat if your insulin is up. So the key is to eat foods low on the Glycemic Index chart.

So now that business is out of the way, have you decided about me chasing you around the room yet.

Good morning Miss LeDix

Miss LeDix · 06-18-2002, 06:20 AM

Craig, I really appreciate all that feedback! Thank you so much!

And no, I still haven't decided about the chasing yet. I realy need to give it more thought.

Back to work for now!

Meals 4 and 5 eat the protein and veggies, or sweet potato, or brown rice. Eat the fruits but sparingly. The meal with the bread, peanut butter, and preserves is also going to put your insulin higher than you want and there isn't a lot of protein in peanut butter. I would switch meal 6 and 1 around if you really have to have the peanut butter, and preserves. The candies during the day are going to raise your insulin also. The bottom line is you can't lose fat if your insulin is up. So the key is to eat foods low on the Glycemic Index chart. So now that business is out of the way, have you decided about me chasing you around the room yet. Good morning Miss LeDix
