"This weightlifting thing"

eloquent in her brevity

Muah!

Protein today: 147.4 g yay!

Thanks guys. I have to say, I do feel better and I'm getting to the point where I can probably do every other day of weights instead of every 3 days. And yeah, I do like the shakes. It is easy to get protein this way, and I've always needed some kind of drink after working out. When I was 17 it was OJ and diet soda mixed. So blending a bunch of stuff with the powder and creatine works for me.
Try chocolate protein powder in diet soda. It's like a (shitty) float!
 
he he. The shakes don't seem to fill me up for as long as food, they're good for a smallish meal or big snack though. Or if I'm not getting enough protein in the meal I want to eat. I've only tried vanilla. I was eyeing cookies n cream but I'm afraid that night trigger an ice cream craving.

So ANYway my life has sucked this past week, sick as a DOG. Throat hurt bad, took lots 'o drugs to get past it and lost a day sleeping. I felt better, took the kid to the mall and the park, that was a BIG mistake, I wasn't over it yet. The next day was horrible. Chest pain, throat hurt, congestion everywhere from the waist up, runny nose, coughing. Tried to drug myself into sleeping all day again. At one point I actually started on the leftover oxycontins it hurt so bad. I was coughing before, but the REAL coughing set in last night. I managed to get to sleep for an hour, at 6 a.m., by combining nyquil with an advil PM. Then the kid woke me up. Got back for another hour. Then the coughing set in again. Christ.

I'm giving it a few more days before I attempt working out again. I don't want a relapse of that. I always get a spring cold with coughing that keeps me up, but holy shit that was bad. I'll probably have to drop some weight so as not to strain it too much at first.
 
My diet always goes to shit when I'm sick. I want sugar. This time, I was after a little less sugar and a little more carbs. I'm finding it interesting that it hasn't ruined my diet AFA trying to make myself WANT what I should eat - I'm back to eating better and I WANT the protein. Intriguing. Usually if I fall off the wagon, even for being sick, I have to re-train myself to want the protein and veggies.
 
The shakes don't do much for me either as far as hunger.

Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Hope you washed your hands before typing that up so we all don't get your germs :wacko:
 
i found after i started eating really clean when i'd have chips with my son on cheat day i'd feel like crap. my eyes even felt hung over or something from the chemical shit in junky food the next morning. stuff like tacos tasted like pure salt and sugary stuff was just tooooooo damn sweet. your body will start to recognize how ridiculous that stuff is. it's not fuel, it's toxic.
 
OK 30 minutes on elliptical, levels 6 through 10. 10 was too much. Didn't want to stop, but had a parent teacher conference to go to. Probably for the best, let's see if I hack up a lung tonight. The plan is to do weights tomorrow, probably 70 percent of where I was.

Wow little to no loss of strength because of the sickness, pretty cool. But I was wiped. Little shaky. OJ/protein powder/creatine shake helped. Didn't have as much protein today, haven't actually eaten much.
 
30 minutes on elliptical levels 6 thru 9

Jesus H. Well started back up after relapsing to this goddamn cold. I get this every year, you'd think it was allergies, right? I cough for weeks. This one was pretty bad, actually had to call the hubby to come home and take care of the kid for 2 days while I slept.

ANYway, cut down the weight some for recovery:

Sq - 40(10x4)
bp - 40(10x4)
crunches - 75 w/6 lbs
stiff deads - 50(9, 8) 45(10, 10)
calf raises - 40(25 22 21 16)
side to side with weights in hand - 20, 8 lbs per
BOR - 40(10 8 10 10)
overhead pess - 22(10x4)

Did elliptical beforehand, was only going to do 10 mins to warm up but i couldn't get off the damn phone with my mother so ended up doing 20 mins.
 
40 mins elliptical. Lv. 5 to 8. I'm sluggish in the AM.
 
Alright, I'm counting yesterday as a workout. Went to the zoo, walked every damn where, carried the kid (about 40-45 lbs.) for something like 20 to 30 minutes. My legs were hurtin'.
 
^I'm sluggish 24/7. lol

Same here... I get more sluggish every year. :rolleyes:

I think walking around with 40-45 lbs for serval hours can certainly be counted as a workout, or at very least some cardio.
 
BP - 45(10) 50( 10 8 10)
Sq - 50 (10x4)
crunches - 100/w 6 lbs
calf - 50(25 21 19 22)
BOR - 50 (8 9 10 10)
stiff - 50(10x4)

Wow. Dizzy and drained. Could barely finish.
 
50 min elliptical. Lvs. 6 n 7. Doubt I'll be doing anything tomorrow, got my last tattoo session. Gettin' old, I'm always wiped after.
 
Can I count a tattoo session as a workout? I was sweating the whole time.
 
I'm workin' on it. Soon as the dressing comes off.
 
Sq - 50(10x4)
BP - 50(10 8 8 9)
calf - 50 (24 24 18 20)
overhead - 30(10 10 8 8)
crunches - 100/6; some lifts w/ weight inbetween knees
stiff - 60(10x3) 65(10)
BOR - 50(10x4)

How's your strength feeling, Kathy, and how's your weight these days?
 
Well, the first two months of this I gained 2 lbs. Still eating more than 100g of protein a day, usually I can hit 125. Now I'm trying to cut... sorta. Calories down like 100 or 200 a day, I'm in the 180-2000 range. (OK, I never did hit the 2000 level before this. :! )

Doing the cardio more consistently, cutting the routine in half while i diet to maintain LBM. Strength is being affected a little, even though I haven't cut the calories that much. I was at the point where I felt like I could push more than 50lbs on some exercises but now 50 is enough. I'm thinking to maintain the 50lb level for say, a month and see what happens.

I have definitely seen a change in appearance. I look healthier, even my face. I was sitting for the last tattoo session last week on my back. There's a wall to wall mirror directly in front of you in this shop, and I was noticing the muscle development in my shoulders. :)

I may not be doing this hardcore or "by the book," (I picked up some more books) but I'm listening to my body and going sloooooooooow.
