Hit The Ground Running ...

[SamEaston]

don't you like CG pulldowns? me likes 'em!
gettin' up there with high protein macros, sambo. what do yo usually get most of your protein from?

Hiya mate! Yeah, i like 'em - i did some today and they sorted me out good and proper!

Majority of my protein comes from tuna and nuts and cottage cheese, but not all at the same time

Hey Sam! Thought i'd drop in and check out your journal. I'm impressed!! Keep up the good work.

Hey there BM!! So nice of you to drop in!

Thanks for the encouragement mate - appreciate it

Tuna... ughh... I'm getting tired of it right now..

i told her to switch over to friskies beef and gravy, but she wont do it.


how you doing sammie?

 

[b_reed23]

the only problem is they don't list their nutritional info on the package...how would she know how much protein she's taking in????

 

[SamEaston]

Tuna... ughh... I'm getting tired of it right now..

Nah, i love tuna. I have really low fat mayo and some sweetcorn mixed in, mmmmm yummy. Also some red peppers chopped up in it is lovely too!

i told her to switch over to friskies beef and gravy, but she wont do it.

how you doing sammie?

Isn't that dog food?? I dunno - after a few weeks of cutting, i'd probably eat dog food

Im doing great thank you! Busy at work and that, but nothing unexpected. Hows yourself?

Mate - that sounds mighty fine. You and i are on the same food wavelength

 

[Gazhole]

Lots of grip-heavy stuff there, nice

 

[b_reed23]

MMMmmmm....Tuna with some fat free miracle whip, some pickle juice, and cheese in a whole wheat wrap

 

[DOMS]

Well hellllooooooo there

How are you doing?? I've not spoken to you in ages, although if Gaz's sig is to be believed we've been rather busy

Hey beautiful!

I'm still unemployed, but I'm making do by creating websites for companies. I've come to the conclusion that I have to start my own company because there just aren't any jobs in this crappy city.

On the upside, my options trading is going alone quite well. I placed my fourth trade on Monday. It's a JUN 50 straddle on NRG. So both my third and fourth trade are making me money. w00t!

I'm going to steal Gaz's sig.

[boilermaker]

I like those tuna creations in the foil packs by starkist. they don't even need mayo. Or a can opener, or draining.

Great workout mistress Sam, you must be an olympic standard rower by now?

Ha ha - you kidding me?? To even get accepted for the training you have to be 5'11 or over. Im 3 inches short of that, believe me, that bugged me for a very long time

So now i lift weights instead

 

[nadirmg]

Its going alright mate, thanks for asking. I am quite hungry most of the time though, so it's psycologically difficult, but i jsut need to bear in mind what i want to achieve and remember that miracles don't happen overnight and i'll be fine

What about yourself? How you getting on?

I feel bad, i havent' been round the journals in a couple of days ... must get my finger out ...

Hiya Sam! Your workout is impressive, but it's the cut that you're doing that simply incredible.

I have never been able to cut. At least, not for more than two days.

Great job!

You kinky, kinky devil. Always knew you liked to walk on the wild side.

Excellent workout. Are the bulgarians getting easier yet?

 

[the other half]

are all the journals turning in to this, or is it just when goob shows up? or gaz? or doms? or me?

have fun with the presentation. if that is possible.

i think some one is gonna need a good lower body massage tonight.

Well . . . . .

This is true! My legs were pretty sore, but the DOMS isnt as bad these days as when i first started Bulgarians. Mmmm, maybe time to throw some other crazy ass movement into the mix . . .

Hiya Sam! Your workout is impressive, but it's the cut that you're doing that simply incredible.

Great job!

thanks mate, but believe me .. a cut is very much what i need to do. When im done with my cut and im happy with my weight, im going to post before and after pics and i'll tell you a little story about how i ended up in such a state. Until then, im pretty much starving *shrugs*

You kinky, kinky devil. Always knew you liked to walk on the wild side.

Excellent workout. Are the bulgarians getting easier yet?

Hee hee, knew that would get all your imaginations flared up

Yeah, as i said to Gaz there, the Bulgarians are getting a bit easier but the main thing i notice is that im not suffering quite so much with DOMS the following couple of days. Time for a new weapon of mass destruction i reckon ...

are all the journals turning in to this, or is it just when goob shows up? or gaz? or doms? or me?

have fun with the presentation. if that is possible.

i think some one is gonna need a good lower body massage tonight.

Thanks OH - the presentation went fine, it was the questions afterwards that went on for ages. That's always the worst part, when you've done a presentation you just wanna get out of the room and as far away as possible!!

Great workout... Keep it up.

the end will justify the means...

I hope so CB, i really do!

solid workouts in here Sam! those are some nice static holds too!

hope the presentation went well...I always sucked at those...

Thanks mate - those static holds gave me the worst forearm DOMS i think i've ever had (probably because i did them over-over). Im soooooo doing them again!!

Sister Sam, still doing it to it I see!!! Keep it up, and Best Wishes w/your presentation!!!

Aww, thanks Arch

 

[goob]

Workouts showing no ill effects of your starvation.


Good stuff Sam, and good luck in Glasgow.

 

[b_reed23]

speaking of starvation....what kind of progress are you making??
