Well that makes sense. But given the chance to meet anyone from here... well almost anyone I would be willing to change my schedule. Hmmm I have to check my calendar but I'm sure I can fit you in sometime over the next 3 months...

Heck no. That's why the BF can't know about the porn star at the gym.
(that'll teach him not to chaperone me 
)but in all seriousness the porn guy is just nice eye candy that could get a totally innocent girl in trouble for what might LOOK wrong but isn't.
stick w/that story. k?

Oh okay. So I wouldn't mention him being a porn star, not mention the porn star guy period and not mention me being a porn star. Gee this is the porn capital of the world.

Got it
i was really pleased w/wednesday's shoulder workout. i was looking forward to legs last night. (kinda sorta. i hate legs but i thought i was gonna have a great workout)
i couldn't have been more wrong and i have no excuse/explanation
i did a light warm up set of squats and it felt crappy. my lower back was hurting (even though it isn't injured.
), the really light weight felt heavy. it was bad.
then i did my first "real" set. that was worse.
now i'm in a terrible mood.
so i decide i'll double up on leg presses and just go really heavy...see what my limits are. but THOSE sucked too. that never happens. it just hurt and i was winded (bizarre to be winded on leg presses!
)
things were going very very badly. at this point i considered leaving and making up leg day today. but i doubted i'd get arms done over the weekend so that wasn't an option.
i went into the locker room to try to get my head together...came out, tried to squat again and it just was all wrong and miserably terrible. no clue why.
i didn't do the planned workout but i did manage to work my legs (though not the way i was suppossed to)
i did 10 sets of leg extensions @ 120 lbs getting 6-9 reps. hurt like hell but in a good way now.
then i planned 10 sets of SLDL. i was about dead after 8 sets using 105 lbs so i did 8 sets and then 2 sets lying leg curls.
my legs are sore. i didn't bail. but i'm a long long way from happy. first screw up on the plan (sorry TP) and i have no idea what the hell happened.
what i do know is...i plan to have a great arm workout tonight.

Its ok NG, dont discourage yourself. Your back probably started to hurt, because you arent used to squats, its simple. Possibly not enough core strength. About being winded... could it have been because you used a lot of energy on squats?
Just get back into the groove of things, *bob marley voice* "And every thing willlll be aaallright."

thanks Premier. I have no clue what was wrong. I was much stronger last week on leg day. I definitely didn't exert myself enough on the squats to be winded. I haven't been getting enough sleep - but diet's been good. sleep is the only thing i can think of. but i'm still not sure what the problem was. i thought i felt good until i started. 
but my 10 sets of leg extensions and my 8 sets of SLDL (w/2 sets leg curls) definitely made my legs sore....but not the way it was meant to happen.
i'm not happy 'bout it - but i'm glad i didn't just leave without doing anything.

Exactly!! Even when you feel great you body may be fatigue. Not enough carb intake, etc. Don't sweat it. You stuck it out, changed things up to do it but ya did it and that's what matters

You did back, including deadlifts, just two days ago. That's probably why the lower back was hurting. I experienced the same thing when I started phase 2, which is why I switched back day and leg day for this phase.
thanks PB and Cpt. I think the back day may be the reason. My deadlifts weren't shocking - but I pushed myself and I'm not used to doing them. i think i may go ahead and flip the days this week.
i did have a good arm workout friday. (phew). notebook is in the car so will post it later but it was a good one.

thanks JLB. I bet it was the deads. I'm not used to doing them and I definitely pushed myself.
Training is good but diet is still a struggle. I manage a few "perfect" as planned days and then I miss a meal or two and have a cheat or two (nothing too major but enough to stall progress). Can get kind of depressing but no cheats or slips this weekend so I guess all I can do is keep going/trying. I do know better and I have stuck with things in the past. It's been hard lately though.

I know what you mean when you say it is difficult at times. It would be so nice if we could just snap our fingers and have instant perfect everything. Where is that Ginnie in a Bottle when we need them?
Hi NG
thanks Jodi - but I don't think my bodyfat has budged much. I guess I need to be 100% perfect instead of 95%
I haven't had any pigouts. I haven't eaten anything ridiculous like ice cream or fast food. A few times on weekends I've left the house w/out enough meals packed....then gone too long without eating and then bought a grilled chicken sandwich when out (and not eaten the bread). Nothing too bad but my freaking summer clothes STILL don't fit.
Pretty much the only time I feel ok in my skin now is at the gym. Then I feel good. My arms are looking better - more shape so I guess that's progress but my hips and stomach aren't.
Despite all my bitching though - I'm NOT giving up. Promise.
I do think I'm gonna drop calories lower for a couple of weeks though. I won't get stupid but I'm gonna go a tad lower. I have a business trip coming up (just a short one) and I have no choice but to get into my clothes since I don't wanna buy bigger (and I can't afford to anyway). I think 5 lbs would get me there. (fingers crossed)

I'm not liking the carb cycling. I feel good but the weight isn't moving. (and I really have been pretty damn good about it)
I'm going to go with 5-6 meals a day, high protein, mod carbs and low/mod fat (plenty of efas - i promise) and go with that for 2 weeks. I'm thinking 1350-1400 calories a day. I know I maintain at 1800.
I'm sure this isn't ideal but I seriously do have to get into those freaking pants in 2 weeks. I can't afford to shop and I really don't wanna buy bigger clothes. I can get 'em on but they are way tight so hopefully 5 lbs will make 'em wearable.
I'm worried.

definitely. i'm going to go lower on fat than i normally do - but i'll take my fish oil, have some lean beef, an egg yolk here and there. i'll see how it goes and maybe besides fitting in the pants i'll learn more about what does/doesn't work for me.
i'm pretty sure something has changed with my body. stuff that used to "work"...doesn't seem to. maybe new things will.
but hey - if all else fails, at least my shoulders have grown. thought that might NEVER happen.

Hi NG. Do what you feel will work best. People can only offer new advices, and you are the one that needs to figure out which ones to apply. It really sucks trying to figure out what works best, but in this game it is a must.
How was your weekend?
How was your weekend?
very very true PreMier. it DOES suck before you really know what is and isn't for you and it is a must. after all this time...i'm still not sure but hopefully i'm learning.
here's what i'm thinking of doing for at least 2 weeks (maybe longer - I'm just sticking with it for at least 2 weeks before re-evaluating things):
MEAL 1
6 egg whites
1/2 cup oats
3 fish oil caps
MEAL 2
1.5 servings whey
1 oz cashews
MEAL 3
4 oz chicken
cup green beans w/2 tsp light dressing
4 oz yam
MEAL 4
4 oz ground sirloin
more green beans or other green veggie
MEAL 5
1.5 servings whey
3 fish oil caps
MEAL 6
6 egg whites w/spinach
comes out to:
1348 calories
172 g protein
85 g carbs
33 g fat
