GG's IM Competition Journal

[GoalGetter]

Well, I have now finally caught up with your journal and QUE CARAJO PASO?????

Que te puedo decir... la vida te da sorpresas (hahahaha that's a line from Pedro Navaja! i just realized!)

I will get in touch with you this weekend. I'll be in a kids' training class all day saturday in kendall. Don't you live out that way? I'll be on 88th and 107th from 9-5.

I am rarely around your work area. I'm working in the Aventura/Waterways area for now, and have a couple of private clients in hallandale and the miami beach area. Todo para el norte, for now, since it's the area wher eI've been spending most of my time.

Tony, I am REALLY happy that you are in a better place these days. I was worried about you for a while.

Hopefully wel'll talk this weekend! Say hi to the wife!

Workout - January 7, 2005

Legs - Quad Heavier

Squats
1 x 90lb x 10
1 x 110lb x 10
1 x 130lb x 8
1 x 140lb x 3 ----> 135lb x 6

notes: yeah... i can't believe a measly 5 lbs make such a huge difference on whether i can finish a set or not.

SLDL
3 x 80lb x 15

Leg Press
1 x 180 x 10
2 x 205 x 10
1 x 230 x 10

Hyperextensions
2 x 20, bodyweight

Walking Lunges w/ 15lb dumbells
2 x 18+18 (36 roundtrip)

Leg Extensions on Hammerstrength, unilateral
3 x 30lb x 15 each leg

Calf Raises
4 x 115 x 25 (neutral toes, toes in, toes out, neutral toes)

Abs

Crunches on Physioball
2 x 40 (one set legs open, one set legs together, harder to balance)

Knee-Ins on Physioball
1 x 20
1 x 15

Plank
1 x 30 seconds, gave up after that, too friggin tired, but spent some time showing another girl how to do stuff on the physioball.

No cardio today.

notes: i still feel like ass. I feel puffy or like what little definition I have looks BLURRY all of a sudden. A few things could be responsible for this: 1) i'm having mental problems? 2) I'm not sleeping enough, 3) not drinking enough water, 4) eating too little for my new lifestyle (active as opposed to sedentary most of the day)....

Whatever it is, I'm gonna start with getting my sleep in check. I'm going to go for a full 8 hours of sleep tonight. I dont have to be anywhere until 9 tomorrow. So I plan to be in bed by 10, 1030 at the latest. Sleep till 7, 730.

Excelent squats!!!

 

[GoalGetter]

Excelent squats!!!

Spanks! I really felt the last set.

OH and i forgot to note that the 230 on the leg press is a new PB.

 

[PreMier]

Congrats on the PB. But 10 reps? Maybe you should up the weight

 

[GoalGetter]

no. i'm doing heavy weight, lower rep on some things. 10 was plenty. 10 really hard reps. i think you think i was just having a grand ol' time. hahahaha! it was hard for me!

 

[PreMier]

Yea, when I see peoples workouts, and the reps go 10 10 10... I think they sit there, with a lemonade in one hand, and it has one of those little umbrellas in it.

Have you ever considered starting with the heavier weights first?

 

[GoalGetter]

Have you ever considered starting with the heavier weights first?

i hadn't until the other day when i was reworking my stuff, and it was a passing thought more than anything else. Then i got to the gym and did it the way i'd been doing it before.

Why? Ya think I should?

Hi Rock!

 

[Rocco32]

Hey Ivy!

 

[GoalGetter]

egg and oatmeal frittatta

ok so i refuse to call this a pancake because it isn't a "batter"-based traditional type of pancake. but I used one of the protein pancake recipes posted in our recipes section (the ones that call for just egg/oats), and tweaked it a bit, added 1/2 a tsp of imitation vanilla butter nut flavoring (found in your grocery store's baking section), and then sprinkled the finished product lightly with cinnamon and half a packet of splenda (not much was necessary since the vanlla butter nut thing made it sweeter on its own).

I swear i think i'm going to mass produce this and sell it. it's THAT GOOD.

 

[Rocco32]

I think I tried something like that Ivy and almost threw up. It was soooo gross. But you probably made it much better than me. Also, I didn't use any spices, just 10 eggs and 1 cup of oats.

Holy Bad Pancake Batman!!!!

I agree with Ivonne, I think you should try to at least give it some type of flavor....

I still remember the day that I mixed milk, whey powder, and multigrain oatmeal. That was the most wretched, nasty, ungodly mix. It was un-natural, in fact, I think I saw the devil's face in the plate as I was trying to eat it....
