Little Wing Gets Serious

[Little Wing]

okay. i'd have been better off sticking with the gym smell and all than converting to home workouts. i'm horrible at staying motivated. recently tho i have recommited and am doing better. a lot of bike riding and some cardio on a mini stair stepper i like but i need to utelize my weight bench a lot more and stick to it. it has an attatchment for leg work and a curling pad. so here is my equipment




barbell bar and dumbell bars w 110lbs of weider metal plates.






pilates resistance band.

my diet is really clean. chicken, brown rice, oatmeal, beans, veggies, fruit. lots of water n a multi vitamin.

i can feel my muscles taking form underneath the bodyfat but the bodyfat is not leaving soon enough to suit me. having a journal here motivated me before i quit the gym, and i'm moving to bangor sometime this spring where they have a gold's gym. in the meantime here i am again.

don't get confused but the member formerly known as rockgazer69 is now Little Wing.

okay this little entry is for the muscle or fat which is bulkier doubting thomas. i lost some weight when i 1st started back with the clean diet and added exercise. mainly biking n stepping every day. then for the last two weeks i haven't lost anything even tho i feel my muscles getting harder. well yesterday i finally moved some furniture where i wanted it n started putting my room back together after repainting it (white btw)... i have a pegged shelf where i keep jeans hanging by the beltloops. most didn't fit me i'm talking a dozen pair at least i couldn't even get near zipped... last night all but the two smallest pair fit. comfortably fit. so cool and very motivating. go me. yep muscle weighs more but is more compact.

i decided to add a daily 45 minute walk to my routine till it gets too cold to keep it up. i'm either adding a treadmill or stationary bike to my set up before winter sets too hard. oh yea about a week ago i put the couch n entertainment stuff in my sons room, he's thrilled, and turned my livingroom into an exercise room.

stairstepper, squats n walking till my thighs are burning. ouch.

 

[Little Wing]

last night my legs hurt was hard to get to sleep but this morning they feel fine my butt just has a little hey u worked out good yesterday feel not ache. i'll ride bike tonite i think it might be cuz i'm tall n have my seat raised on my bike but it uses totally different muscles to ride than stepping does. my bike i feel in the fronts of my thighs n inside my legs stepping hurt in back. n will walk too. also work on abs, arms n shoulders. i have lost more weight but didn't realize it not a lot but hadn't weighed myself for a week or so. right now tho wax on wax off painting sucks.

 

[Little Wing]

holy bike ride batman. good one. there is a campground near here where there are rabbits running loose we went to see them. this morning i did more bench presses, butterflies n so on and some ab excercises and some stepping.

[The Monkey Man]

Yes, but now she's...

 

[Little Wing]

yea. took the name of my favorite song. some day i'm going to be rich n buy all of Jimi's guitars.

Little Wing is also the name of the sig i made Vanity. he has a guitar like the one i used for the wing. much nicer than monkeys artistic analogy.

 

[Little Wing]

walked today n did some leg work. my abs have a nice burn from yesterday. diet still right on track n spent the morning reading in diet n nutrition n getting some ebooks on burning fat.

that's my diet, not yours!!!

 

[Little Wing]

man that looks good. but i'll stick w mine 'till cheat day, i'm seeing some nice results.

 

[Little Wing]

got up this morning and did a few minutes on the stepper n then carried my bike downstairs n went on a killer ride for almost an hour on an empty stomach. same thing tomorrow

 

[The Monkey Man]

How soon will you post PICS, so we can all see your... "results"... -

 

[Little Wing]

i bought a nice digital camera a canon a95, 5 megapixle but the idiot that put windows in this pc missed the twain driver install so i can't get it to work w the pc. then i bought a sandisk card reader and the friggin thing says no need to install the driver because windows xp comes with a twain driver. it's very frustrating.

 

[Little Wing]

did some bench presses n leg curls. a shorter easier bike ride in the pm. need to eat more. more times a day n add more protein. today after my bike ride about half cup oatmeal w some raisins, lunch 2 eggs, supper brown rice n hot sauce. lots of water.

 

[Little Wing]

no apetite today at all so all i did was legs arms n abs, no cardio. did manage to eat some oatmeal n raisins.

 

[The Monkey Man]

no apetite today at all

What are you, taking diet pills or something

 

[Little Wing]

no i wouldn't do that. thinking about mothers losing children in new orleans, kids alone and afraid. very depressing. today tho i'm making up for it cantaloupe with fat free cottage cheese, burgers with sharp chedder and i'm going thru Shaes journal and trying the yoga poses she has in there, i hope other people do it's a great journal.

 

[Little Wing]

i want to lose some weight but i really want to gain muscle and you can't be a member here all this time, even a wingnut one like me, and not have learned the importance of a proper diet in achieving your goals. i wonder sometimes about some of the fat burners n products like that but i really would rather do things sensibly with a clean diet of good foods and lots of exercise.

 

[The Monkey Man]

Jeez - ...

You could have just said..

" NO way Jose"

 

[Little Wing]

[The Monkey Man]

I'm glad to read your, & Shea's new journals -

 

[The Monkey Man]

But where are my hot new pics? - :bounce:

 

[Little Wing]

just did grocery shopping. salmon, tilapia, tuna, chicken, eggs, black beans, brown rice, sweet potatoes, old fashioned oats, yogurt, apples, carrots, oranges, lean pork, fat free cottage cheese, lowfat yogurt, olive oil... enough healthy food to last 4 or 5 weeks. no salt, sugar, flour, butter.

But where are my hot new pics? - :bounce:

i found out i can take my flash memory card into rite-aid n get a photo cd made so the 19th when i go to my drs appt i'm having pics made for Vanity. one or two might find their way into my journal to track progress. warning tho, i have some work to do to be as tuned up as Vanity's sig.
