Wednesday, August 14

I have been a slacker with keeping my journal. Well my toe is still throbbing, however I did manage to get to the gym this morning for a leg workout.

Leg press 180lbsx20 reps, 180x20
Squats - 1 set of 20
leg extensions 50x20, 50x20, 70x20, 70x20
walking lunges with 12lb dumbells follwed each set of leg extensions
leg curls 50x20, 50x20, 50x25, 50x25
need to look up the name of this next exercise...you are standing with you legs locked into this contraption; you lean back and then slowly stand up. works quads....After each set of leg curls I did 20-25 reps of this one
Standing in a squat position with a ball b/w me and the wall....hold this position for 1.5 minutes with a 25lb weight on my quads....repeat this 4 times
Dead lifts - 65lbs x 20, 65x20, 65x20

After all this I couldn't walk. My trainer and I are working on downsizing my legs a little bit...nothing drastics. This workout was to shock my muscles and believe me it did just that. My legs were so sore that I fell over when I bent down to pick up my towel Great workout!

5am protein bar (pre-work out)
8am oatmeal (1 cup), 2 teaspoon PB, 3 egg whites
10:30am chicken and mixed veggies, 1/4 cup almonds
1pm chicken and mixed veggies, 1/4 cup almonds
3:30pm 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon PB
6pm chicken, 1tsp PB, and green beans

Totals: Cal 1634, F 55, C120, P 164

OUCH!!!

I bet legs were painful to do with a saw toe

 

[Adidas]

It wasn't too bad...obviously I stayed away from any unneccessary stress on that toe...luckily it is my baby toe of my left foot.

 

[kuso]

Lucky it wasn@t your big toe I guess.

BTW....I haven`t been in here in awhile, but I thought you were upping your cals a bit more than that?

 

[Adidas]

I am.. my average cal intake per day since August 1 has been about 1500cals. Yesterday was an obviously low day. My split has been 40-40-20 (P-F-C).

 

[kuso]

Opps....my bad.....I thought someone mentioned 1800cals

 

[Adidas]

Leslie did...however I didn't want to jump from such a low cal intake directly to 1800. I figured I would go for about 2 weeks around 1500 and then starting next week to 1800. Don't you you think a gradual increase is better than one quick change?

 

[kuso]

For sure.....sorry, not picking on you, I just saw@1356 and thought maybe you were reducing them again.....

 

[Miss LeDix]

Hey there girlie! Glad you had a great workout today. I know that it is frustrating that you can't do what you are used to. But maybe this will be a good break for you!

I was at your favorite store today.

Oh, chicken and grean beans tonight? Not going out?

 

[Adidas]

Well...he wanted to get together tonight since he is leaving on Friday. However I got an email this morning saying he wasn't feeling well. If he feels better we will get together....who knows?!

 

[Miss LeDix]

If I say that he is currently sounding a bit shady, would you get angry? I've just never seen such busy people!

 

[Adidas]

I wouldn't be angry. The good thing is that he is not the only guy around nowadays. Believe me, there is no sitting around waiting for his call.

 

[Adidas]

Well me toe is still in pain, however at least it is looking a lot better. Today I did manage to ride the bike in spin class for 45 minutes.

 

[ZECH]

Very nice pics Adidas! Very sexy muscles! And Miss L that is meant as a compliment and not pornal!

 

[Adidas]

Thanks dg806 I appreciate the compliment and thanks for reading through my journal. Visit me soon

 

[kuso]

You trying to say TP and I aren`t enough for you????????

 

[Adidas]

Kuso....you and TP have been GREAT. You know that is not what I am saying

 

[Adidas]

I have been in intense Board of Director meeting for the past two days which means my diet has down out the window. Sucks when you get off schedule....I am going to take it easy this weekend since my toe is not feeling 100%. I did manage to get work bis and tris this morning. I did get my oatmealm protein shake, and PB in before my crazy day of meetings began.

New Goals starting Monday....work on obliques - I am not happy with them and they are my "problem area" I want to get to 10%bf..more so to see if I have the discpline to do so. If I can than I think I will seriously consider so kind of competition.

I am exhuasted and just want to put my head on a pillow and close my eyes

 

[Miss LeDix]

I want to go to sleep, too! I am so sore from yesterday, it's not even funny. Have you and Trey ever done butt-taps?

I'm glad you are so excited about training and such! Your obliques kick ass, by the way.

You are exactly right Adidas. I did not mean to misinform you. Since your orginal cal count was sooooo low jumping to 1800 would only add body fat. What you are doing is fine....Gradually work up to 1800

 

[Adidas]

Thanks Leslie. Eventually I'll get this

 

[Adidas]

Thanks Miss L You are looking yourself girl. Trey and I have never done butt taps. My leg workout on Wednesday was TOUGH. I haven't seem my legs shake like they were in a VERY LONG TIME. The hard exercise that day was squating with the ball against the wall and holding the position for almost 2 minutes! Try that one sometime too.

 

[Miss LeDix]

Yes, I am uh, looking myself, I guess. I may have to ask Billy about the 'wall sits', I remember those from sculpting class at Crunch. I still want us to work out together some time, you know!

 

[butterfly]

Nice pics, girl... Keep it up!!!

 

[Adidas]

Thanks Ann

Making it shake is what I`m best at

 

[Adidas]

Is this what you think you are best at or has the greater community told you so?

 

[kuso]

Well....a selected part of the greater community anyway
