IronIc is Doing the Scivation Shuffle!

[IronIc]

thanks for that info Penny. I don't know if I could stand a CHA :D I am a carb LOVER

I carbed up today..but I have a bad sore throat/cold and couldn't even enjoy all the good foods. :(
I'm a carb lover, too :o It's hard turning carb foods down. I went to Starbucks to get an afternoon coffee today, and saw they had a new cinnamon kind of roll :eek: OMG, did it look good. I was drooling! But it was not worth the cheat, lol. Tomorrow is carb cheat day. Yay! :)

Awww, I hate to hear about your cold, Rich! :( Feel better! :)

[rpaul11]

[ During the last set I could not squeeze one more out ... I told my body, "come on, just one more and we're done." I then pushed out one more. Tried for 2 ... no go :o


I would expect nothing less :)


Tomorrow is an off day.

enjoy

[IronIc]

I would expect nothing less :)
I am pleased with my progress on the pushups :cool:



enjoy
I will! I have a 3 day weekend :)

ya see...I'm not a sweets, cinnamon roll, cake, donuts kinda carb lover. I'm a pasta, rice, potatoes, bread kinda carb lover. so I guess that's a little better

I have never met a carb I didn't like :p

[blsmith]

I have never met a carb I didn't like :p

x2 unfortunately my downfall, I am not as strong as you are with carbs Penney

[jaim91]

I have never met a carb I didn't like :p

But then you met me...and I'm more fun (and better for your physique) than carbs...


Heheheh, of course that depends on if I don't cheat, which I have not done lately except the other night

This makes me happy!



ROFL ... yes you did ... the jj's are in sets of 60 ... therefore 5 sets = 300 of them :D

Hehhehe, I am going to incorporate that into a cardio workout. So often I run out of time during my workouts to get enough cardio in afterward .. and this kicks ass more than the treadmill or elliptical.l

Oooh, very innovative...I love it!

[IronIc]

x2 unfortunately my downfall, I am not as strong as you are with carbs Penney
It took me years to get to this point, Brian. I love carbs more than anything (well, almost anything) and I have to remind myself on a regular basis how important this is to my physique, and health.

I lose much faster on lowfat, but I don't think low fat diets are healthy ...


But then you met me...and I'm more fun (and better for your physique) than carbs...
You are indeed alot of fun, Jaime ... carbs are pretty much fun too, though :p

Although the side effects of them make me unhappy :o The side effects of Jaime make me very happy! :D


This makes me happy!
I am focused on my goal.


Oooh, very innovative...I love it!
Yeah, I think it'll be fun to incorporate for a while .. it makes very good HIIT ... especially since I have been unable to go to spin class.

[Seawren]

Another dollup of good news -- I AM GOING TO THE ARNOLD!!!!!!!!!!!! Rick and I had a talk tonight and I told him that I need to freedom to do what I want without him freaking out over it. He told me he was worried because of the expense -- we both lost 1 week's pay this quarter, that is true -- but it's only about 2 hours from here. I am not going to any of the shows (because I can't afford to) -- I just want to meet everyone, in particular my awesome TRAINER!!!! Not to mention BLSmith, Hoos, and everyone else

From now on I am going to stand firm concerning things I want to do. I am 47 years old, after all.

Good for you Penny! I'm proud of you! Sometimes it's not easy to really insist on something we want when there are "reasons" for not getting it. But this is very important to you and you are working very hard so you darn sure deserve to go!!!!

[rpaul11]

I could imagine being punched in the babymaker to be an unhappy side effect :D





I am focused on my goal.


And now you have Rick onboard too so no excuses :)

[biggaz]

Hi Penney, only read this last page so I guess Ive missed loads. WTG on the workouts.

You're definitely determined to achieve this year, in lots of things. ;-)

I got my LM diet and program this week, so I'll be joining you in the scivation shuffle. Still waiting on my Xtend and vasocharge, both of which are totally new to me!!

Happy weekend ;-)

EDIT oh and I've started a journal in here too ;-)

[HoosierHardGain]

Hey Penney! I hope you're having a great weekend

[ArchAngel'73]

Good news for the Arnold. You're gonna have to take pics for us poor sots who cannot make it.;)
How much has the weight drop been so far?

[The Solution]

Penney oh Penney... what are you doing this weekend :D?

Hope your having a great one, wishing you the best always in everything you do. Keep fighting the struggle, keep nailing that diet, and keep giving those workouts Hell

YOU WILL BECOME A BETTER PERSON THIS WEEK! Remember that.

Time to turn things up a notch and light the fire a little bit more, SHED FAT DO WORK!

Thanks, Seawren :) You can't keep your partner from the things that are important to him/her ... that's the very opposite of love.

Hi Hoos! :) The weekend has been great. Sleeping in FTW!

I am bringing my camera, Brian!

My weight loss has been 4 lbs so far ... it is slow. I have been leaning some because of the way my clothes has been fitting. However, I lose slow on lowcarb diets.


Penney oh Penney... what are you doing this weekend ?
Hi Bob! We were out all day yesterday. Today is relaxation and church!


Hope your having a great one, wishing you the best always in everything you do. Keep fighting the struggle, keep nailing that diet, and keep giving those workouts Hell

YOU WILL BECOME A BETTER PERSON THIS WEEK! Remember that.
The diet has for the most part been nailed. It's so darn easy to follow :)

Hehheheh, I would like this fire to go up a LOT more :o Darn slow metabolism!

[IronIc]

Not stellar, but not horrible. That is how cheat days go, lol

#1: IHOP Big Steak omlette w/a few hash browns. I allow hash browns now because I get some carbs for bfast on regular days. HOWEVER, I did not like this omlette. The steak was very chewy. Fatty meat ruins the meal. The lean burgers I get at Kroger taste 100% better :rolleyes: So ... I ate less than half of it. I ate about half the plate of hash browns given to me. Coffee and water to drink.
#2: A few bites of the leftover omlette .. yuck. I threw the rest out :o
#3: 2 scoops whey in water, 12 almonds. I took this to the meditation class today, because we were there for 4 hours! :eek:
#4: Willy's Sports Cafe ... beer-battered grouper sandwich & a few fries (I am not a big fan of fries) Yuuummmm! The sandwich was delicious and I had 3 regular root beers with it. Gotta love cheat meals, lol.
#5: Sludge after we got home.

Today is back to business as usual! Gym a little later (Week 2, Day 1 of Program J-Me) ... there's a hack squat machine with my name on it! :D

[The Solution]

Its a damn marathon babe, as much as you want your metabolism to kick up dont expect it to on the amount of calories your eating ya know? Also when you have a cheat meal, why do you split it between 2 meals? keep it to 1 meal and try to nail your diet for the rest of the day. I would suggeset leaving that cheat meal as the LAST MEAL of the day if you can, that way there is no temptation after wards to continue on that path. Just my 2 cents.

IN for hack squats, time to get them legs shreeeeeeeedddddddddddddeddddddd!!!!!

NOT a thing wrong with a cheat. It helps restart the metabolism. While I was on the CHA, and had my cheat meal, the next day I would be sweating my a$$ off during cardio.

ROCK THAT HACK!!!

Hi Bob! Are you saying maybe it's time to up the cals? I can ask Jaime. I will be better able to tell that I lost weight, when I do my weekly weigh-in. It'll be Tuesday because I use the scale at work, and I don't go back until Tuesday.

On the Saturday cheats ... I split it because having 2 smaller cheats makes it easier on Rick. This lifestyle is very hard on partners. You have to find that middle ground when you're partnered. However, if I do find cheating this way is hurting my results, then I'll change it to what you suggested ... which is the optimal way to cheat.

Yes! :D I love hack squats. Last week the pump was incredible. I am upping the weight this week, too! :D

Cheats are a physical and psychological necessity :D Especially carbs! :p

I expect my workout today to be totally hardcore because of the carbies I had yesterday. Not to mention they were yummy!

This is how I cheat also. I usually pick Saturday night for my cheat meal and all the meals earlier on Saturday follow my current diet plan. This makes me feel better abouting cheating when I know earlier in the day I stuck strickly to my diet. Plus I don't go overboard since I don't start cheating earlier in the day.

IHOP is da bomb, Vanessa! And there's alot of things there that are CHA friendly .. just gotta overlook the yummy pancake smells .. lol! :D

Hi Sue! That is a great way to do the Saturday cheat. Like I told Vanessa, IHOP has alot of CHA freindly items on the menu ... I have been very good at sticking to things like omlettes which are CHA friendly (I am on a modified 1400 program w/extra carbs in the morning -- hence the hash browns. I usually have 1/2 cup oatmeal w/protein on every other morning). The late cheat was great! :D I had some sludge later that evening because it was only about 7 pm or so that I had the bigger meal ... and I did not go to bed until after 11 pm :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's snowing ... ack! My gym closes at 4 today ... and I have to get ready for church and make sure my meals are in. But ... there will be cardio. I have a stepper downstairs I may use ... or do my kickboxing tape. Either way there will be cardio destruction today after church :) Hack squat destruction tomorrow! :D

Exactly why i mentioned that, if you can penney limit it to 1 cheat, You did not HAVE to order hashbrown did you? NO, so you could of had a complete CHA meal,

Chicken Fajita Omlette, or order some egg whites and regular eggs when you dine out, and save a cheat meal for later.

There is always a WAY to stick to a diet even if you go out, yes there are no excuses and you are living a daily lifestyle, but there is always a solution to your diet madness.... Remember that,.

I will not order hash browns next week. You know, I do need to limit the cheats to 1 per week ... it's tough with Rick, lol. But I did great today ... we went to LJS and I had the tiapala, with just the veggie medley -- no bread, no rice.


Chicken Fajita Omlette, or order some egg whites and regular eggs when you dine out, and save a cheat meal for later.
I love the chicken fajita omlette. I wanted something different so I ordered the big steak omlette -- which was horrible :eek: Hehheheeh, ordering just eggs & egg substitute would be the best option.


There is always a WAY to stick to a diet even if you go out, yes there are no excuses and you are living a daily lifestyle, but there is always a solution to your diet madness.... Remember that,.
Yes there is, and I've been getting better and better at ordering out smart .. as well as packing CHA foods when we are going out to places beside restaurants (I'm taking a shake & almonds to church tonight).

Thanks for watching my back, sweetie! :)

[IronIc]

Today's eats:
#1: 2 whole eggs, 1 cup Kroger egg whites, 1/2 cup oatmeal
#2: Sludge
#3: LJS tiapala, about 1/2 cup veggie medley (this was not too good, either. I am not crazy about the sauce they put on the veggies. I like them plain!).
#4: (TBE_ 2 scoops pp in water, 12 almonds
#5: (TBE) 1/2 cup Kroger egg whites, 1 lean burger
#6: (TBE) Sludge

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There will be cardio tonight.

Hi Penny, IHOP ehh...hmm...I went out to breakfast with Donna (wife) last night, got meat omelette and they brought be hashbrowns. I looked at the waitress and said "do you really think I can these, these are carbs, no carbs after six o clock for me, Im on a diet." She looked at me and laughed.. So, I ate the omelette.. and left the rest...

It gets easier after a while...now, today, the pizza was a killer to pass up, I just remembered what happen to Brian this week, then walked away...Thanks Bro!

[rpaul11]

good work on your diet. As stated...it does get easier, and the people in you life start to figgure it out. However it never ends completely. My wife keeps talking about pizza for the super bowl. I am not CHA, but I do eat low carbs. I am debating just going 2 weeks no cheat and having pizza that night, or just doing what I have been and only having a slice and a salad with some tuna.
Decisions :)

[jaim91]

Tell Rick I'm going to kick his ass if he messes with our plans...seriously!

One night a week is plenty...I think it's sexier for the two of you to eat a nice, cooked meal at home than eat out...Just my opinion :)

Keep doing yo thang babe!

Hhehehhe, it does get easier after a while -- in my case especially it all boils down to the ability to say "no." :D

In the beginning I would lay the hash browns aside or give them to Rick. I started eating them because I have carbs in the morning anyway (oatmeal). However, oatmeal's alot healthier than hash browns (especially the yummy greasy ones!) So .. back to the original plan.

Pizza, yummy! :p

Rick was talking about steak hoagies yesterday afternoon. I said no, don't want 'em. We decided on Long John Silvers -- I got the tiapalia per Jaime's suggestion. It will always be a struggle with him, because he loves to eat.

IMO I would just make the Super Bowl your weekly cheat, Rich, and enjoy the game and pizza with your wife :)



Tell Rick I'm going to kick his ass if he messes with our plans...seriously!
Ha haha, he has no idea how afraid he needs to be now!!! :p


One night a week is plenty...I think it's sexier for the two of you to eat a nice, cooked meal at home than eat out...Just my opinion

Keep doing yo thang babe!
One of the best things about my lifestyle now is that we are eating at home more. I could probably never get out of eating out at least 1x weekly, however, because that's a big way Rick shows his love -- taking me out to a nice place to eat. I will definitely cut the cheaty meals to 1x a week -- no more hash browns in the morning for me ;)

They never are! :p


Hey, I found out I know someone who just started working in the marketing dept. for the Reds...can you say free tickets? :)
Woot! :)

One of the perks of working at the paper is that, on occasion, we get opportunities for free Reds tickets :) In the good seats, too :D Rick & I normally go to a couple of games a year. We didn't go last year, though.

Don't get me started... -20 all weekend long... I need summer to hit soon! :D

I triple it! Heh, a couple of weeks ago we were looking at houses in Daytona -- it would be awesome to live there. The houses were not too expensive but the taxes are OUTRAGEOUS :mad: Property taxes are like 20% :eek: The price you pay for nice weather! lol

[HoosierHardGain]

What's J-Me have on tap for you tonight, Penney?

[IronIc]

OMG...that looks SOOOOO good.


Rich, is it time to eat???


another 90 mins for me :(
The spinach & mushroom omlette is SO SO GOOD ... but because of the hollanaise sauce it isn't so CHA friendly. The chicken fajita is better for the CHA .. and that one is yummy, too.


I'd help ya but have eaten my chicken breast, brown rice is almost gone and now the red pepper... got any Xtend to sip on?
I'm enjoying salmon, green beans, salsa and almonds right now :D


I'm not really hungry....I just want that omlette
Come to think about it -- so do I!!! :o

I bet my bulk would still be under 2000 calories!!!! lol :o

Hehehhe, yeah ... the older we get, the easier fat finds us. When I was young I still could not eat what I wanted to w/o putting fat on my body, but it was certainly easier to lose fat than it is now.

[blsmith]

no need for blushing Penney! You know you're shexy! Work it girl! :D

[beby24]

Hi Penny,
Just catching up with your journal.

[HoosierHardGain]

:o:o


Wow...a double blush :)

[Tifflex]

Have a great workout Penney!

[IronIc]

no need for blushing Penney! You know you're shexy! Work it girl!

Wow...a double blush
:o:o:o You all's are making me blush even more!!! lol


Hi Penny,
Just catching up with your journal.
Hi Beby! Your legs are awesome! :)


Have a great workout Penney!
Thanks Tiff! My energy level was really low tonight and I struggled through my workout ... but I did it! :)

[jaim91]

Did you find out from your doc if you could take Vasocharge?

I'm glad you got the workout in!!!!

[IronIc]

Like I just told Tiff, my energy was not good tonight. My mood was kinda low, too. Part of it pertains to my results so far ... the first week I did great, but I have stalled since. That's the way it is with low-carb diets for me. I do not know why my body adapts to them so quickly. I wonder if I should go lowfat instead ... I will ask Jaime. I lose great on the low fat plans... only thing is, I get really hungry on them.

Workout! Week 4, Day one of Program J-Me:
HACK SQUATS:3xsled+50x25
This week is the volume reps week -- 3 sets, but with 5 or 10 reps added. I struggled with all my exercises tonight. My energy was really low, even with my Xtend.
T-PUSHUPS:2 full/6 knee x 3
The full ROM pushups were nose to ground.

DB STEP UP:3x15sx25
The 20s were being used by someone else, so I picked the 15s up instead. I wanted to do the 25s, but with my energy level and the higher reps, the 15s were probably better anyway.
SEATED ROW TO NECK:30x21, 2x20x21
Yuck! :( Gawd, I am so weak on this exercise. Is it supposed to be alot harder than regular seated rows? I hate not being able to pull more weight.

STABILITY BALL LEG CURLS:3x25
STABILITY BALL CRUCHES:3x25
I did better on these tonight. The leg curls really burn after the 15th rep or so! :)

CARDIO:5 minutes pre, 20 minutes post, LISS
Treadmill fun


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Eats:
#1: 2 whole eggs, 1 cup Kroger egg whites, 1/2 cup oatmeal
#2: 5 oz packaged salmon, 1/2 cup green beans, 12 almonds, 2 tbsp salsa
#3: Sludge w/strawberries
#4: 1/2 cup Kroger egg whites, lean burger
#5: TBE: Sludge w/strawberries, OR 2 scoops whey in water w/12 almonds

1 doubt if I can muster a 6th meal because it's 9 pm and I don't think I can eat again at midnight. My energy and mood are so low! They'll pick up, though :)

[IronIc]

Did you find out from your doc if you could take Vasocharge?

I'm glad you got the workout in!!!!
Jaime, I need to make an appointment to ask her. Vasocharge may be a viable option for me :)

[The Solution]

why do you have to wait till midnight to eat?

-You dont, ive told you this 100 times already. TOTAL CALORIES MATTER PENNEY, make your meals bigger and get to bed ealier, if thats always going to be the case or the case for some nights. Plan ahead and know whats going

- If you think the low carb diet is hurting you, you need to make a change, Only YOU Know your body, and if you know you work better with carbs, then you better be firing a PM to jaime, remember total calories is what will determine gaining/losing its just a matter of finding the right ratio for each individual and utilizing it with a proper routine to account for what kind of diet they have.

- Good to see the FULL RANGE OF MOTION on the push-ups. that is essential Penney, stimulating the muscle the full range is what you need to do placing as much tension on the muscle as possible

sorry for my ranting and raving all the time, but it may take some time for it to settle in. I want to see you succeed and I want to see your progress. Because I know deep inside the fuel is there, the motivation is there, its just a matter of flipping the switch and letting time take its part.


Lets go babe, Chin up, get that energy cranking.

[jaim91]

Send me an e-mail...

We could do low fat, and bump up the veggie and psyllium consumptin for the satiety effect...I also have a secret weapon for hunger...

It's difficult for me to eat huge meals, Bob. I have a gastic band (lapband) which limits the amount of food I can intake at one time ... The small meals every 2-2.5 hours are perfect. But ... I have to get up fairly early to make that work, and that was not the case this morning :o

But I totally agree with what you said! We need our caloric levels to be high enough for metabolic fueling :)

The lowcarb diet isn't hurting me (usually I feel very good on it) but my body just gets used to the low carbs, therefore my weight loss will stall. I am endo-meso so you'd think lowcarb would be the way for me to lose fat, but I guess you can't have cookie-cutter programs for body type alone. We are all totally different.


- Good to see the FULL RANGE OF MOTION on the push-ups. that is essential Penney, stimulating the muscle the full range is what you need to do placing as much tension on the muscle as possible
I am pleased with my full-ROM pushups, Bob :) I have to watch that my butt does not go up too much because the back is supposed to be stiff as a board. There's a very good video on Crossfit about progressive pushups -- from wall pushups all the way to full ROM pushups -- and they said full-ROM knee pushups are better than half-ROM full pushups. Full ROM is always best :cool:

Awww, Bob, thank you for your support -- not just for me, but for everyone else here. I want to succeed, too -- but I knew this would be difficult. I have issues that most others here do not have. I had a total hysterectomy seven years ago. That by itself will trash your metabolism. In addition, I have high blood pressure so I have to be very careful in what supps I can take. I am going to ask my doc about Vasocharge. I know Xtend and whey are safe for me to take :) But fat burners -- no go :eek:

Cool, I will shoot an email tonight concerning this .. also I will send my stats tomorrow. I weigh in on the scale at work and I was on furlough today.

[rpaul11]

I see you're getting frustrated. You've gotten some good advice so far. Keep in mind that you don't have to eat Huge meals,. you just need to make up 1 meal over the course of your other 5. That's less than 100 cals per meal increase. I have every bit of confidence you are gonna figgure this out. It's slow at times for sure and we all stall. You just happened to do so early. We'll find a way to kick start ya again :)

[IronIc]

Weight = 200 (-2) :)

Neck = 14.25" (+.5)
Shoulders = 42" (-2)
Chest = 42" (+1)
Waist (at narrowest point) = 33" (No Change)
Waist (at belly button) = 38" (-1)
Hips: 44.5" (-.5)
Thigh: 24" (+.5)
Calf: 15" (-1)
I lost 2 lbs, so I'll hang on to the CHA a little longer. As long as I lose, I'm happy ;)

Morning Rich! I was dumbfounded by that gain last week because I followed the diet perfectly. It was not perfect last week, so I was really pleased to see it go down. Hopefully it'll start with a "1" next week :o

~~~~~~~~~~

It got nasty out this morning & I'm the only person in my cubicle row that came in, so I'll be busy. I will visit journals and all later today :)

[HoosierHardGain]

Keep your head up, Penney. Your energy could have been low yesterday for numerous reasons, not just the diet. I know weather changes affect my energy level, which could be part of your issues.

Keep up the good fight. The Jaiminator will see you through, and we're here for support. You won't always feel 100% in the gym...no one ever does. When you don't, throttle back the weights and still put in as much intensity as you have.

The way the body works, you may be stalled right now, but next week you're just as likely to take a huge step forward...the body is funny that way.

And I second what Bob said on the diet it. If 6 meals just ain't working, divide your cals into 5 meals.

I think of myself as Stacy Patton, from the movie Eddie :D

[HoosierHardGain]

Well, you get a percentage of the money that comes to me. So, if I get $100, you get $13.86 of it. Of course, you money gets taxed twice...first in the U.S., then again in Canada. SO in the end, you'd end up owing 3 cents for each use of the word.

Yeah, I've spent all mine on sups!..and a new Ipod, so i can get some motivation in the morning, while Im warming up for my workout!!
It's unbelieveable how supps suck up the money! I am on 2, that's it, 2 ... that is all I can afford right now and it's still running me about $90 a month :o


congrats on losing 2 lbs..that should be motivation to stick to that CHA diet!!! More results to come, no doubt about that!!!!
Thanks Vanessa! I love your new avi :)


WOOT for seeing results!!!
Nice job and it's paying off for ya!
I hope so, MG! :) I want more loss to come, lol


I thought you always refered to yourself in the 3rd person??? :D
Hmmmm .... I'm not going there!!!! Hehe

[IronIc]

Ms. Jaime will be receiving 12.38% of all royalties that come into me. Which means no way in heck am I trusting Rup to pick up the checks!!!!!


Hope your day is going great, Penney :)


that is EXACTLY why I'm handling the checks...J-me doesn't trust YOU....and therefore I get my measly 3% which should be sufficient for me to retire by age 40 :D


+



You two discuss it. I'll take the checks to the bank!


Wait, wait, wait...

I get money everytime someone uses the term "Jaiminator"? SWEET ASS SWEET!

Mr. Hoos, does this apply retroactively? Because I think, between Brian and Dave's journals ALONE, i will PWN one MILLION dollars *puts pinky to side of mouth*



I think of myself as Stacy Patton, from the movie Eddie :D


Well, you get a percentage of the money that comes to me. So, if I get $100, you get $13.86 of it. Of course, you money gets taxed twice...first in the U.S., then again in Canada. SO in the end, you'd end up owing 3 cents for each use of the word.
Don't forget my 10% cut!!!!! bwa-ha-ha :D

[IronIc]

LMAO...."brings pinky back to normal position"...what ever that is!


Mr. Evil from Austin Powers


FIXED...but she didn't say it right... ONE MEEEEEEELLION DOLLARS! :D

Hi Penney, ice storm?? Geez, it has been pretty nice out today. Don't even need a jacket. Love me some GA weather :) Sending positive vibes out to ya. Stay strong on the diet and workouts, the progress will come.
Hi Sandra! We're expecting one of the worst ice storms on record in Cincinnati. We already got about 5" of snow last night -- the nice, fluffy kind that just wipes off your car. Most of the people in my dept called in -- there were 2 of us today, me included :o Tonight, we are getting at least 6" with the ice -- the power co. is expecting outages ...

Can I move in with you??? hahaha! ;):D

[IronIc]

No gym tonight -- everyone got off early and I went straight home! It is storming outside now! Hopefully I'll make it tomorrow, unless we're totally snowed in!

A few years ago we got about 16" of snow and Rick & I were stuck here for 3 days :eek: Now, that was kinda embarrassing because we live, basically, up the street from our work places. HOWEVER -- the city plowed on our side of the street, our cars were parked there, the snow hardened overnight and we could not get our vehicles out :o It totally sucked! :rolleyes: I was able to get my car on the other side this time. I SHOULD be able to get to work (and the gym) tomorrow. I did not want to chance it tonight.

[The Solution]

Home workouts FTW!!!!

Bust out a jump rope, Burpees, Push-Ups, Body Squats

YEAHHH BUDDY!

You guys can keep the ice fortunately we are just going to miss the brunt of it, might get 4-6 inches of snow they say! So, fun leg day at the gym tomorrow! :)

It iced real bad last night, and it's snowing now. I almost didn't get out of my parking space this morning! Ack! Is it spring yet???? LOL ;)


Good Morning my southern Queen. Are you ready for a great workout today?

Be careful up there Penney. We are on the warm side of all this mess...it was 58 degrees here when I got up....47 now.

Morning, sweetie! It's warm and dry in here, thank God! I would have stayed home from work if I knew others would make it. But ... I guess I'm crazy and played in the snow and ice this morning.

How much did you all's get?


Been here at work 3 hours and my car is totally covered again!!!
LOL! That sucks! I am fortunate enough to have an indoor garage to park in during the day ... I literally had to dig my car out of all the ice this morning. It's a good thing we didn't get hit nearly as bad as was expected.

It was a little warmer here than was expected last night, so we didn't get the 5-6" of snow on top of the ice ... but it was still pretty messy.


UK :(
I know ... sucks!

sure is, thankfully tomorrow is a rest day! :D

Hey there Ms. Penny. Hope you're keeping safe in all the bad weather. Did you get to the gym today?

[Nikonguy]

Had to go to page 2 to find you Penney, WTH??

Hope all is well :)

[storm1507]

NO Penney...:(

Hope everything is well up there. 1/2 million households without power in KY yesterday. Hope you aren't one of them. Most of my family in Central KY are part of the 1/2 million :(.

[HoosierHardGain]

*Hoos looks around and doesn't see Penney*


*Hoos is sad :( *

[blsmith]

A day without Penney is like a day without sunshine!

Hope all is well sweetie!

[beby24]

Hi Penny,
Wanted to stop in and see how your day went. Its icy but at least the sun is out. :) Have a great day

[IronIc]

Happy Thursday everyone! :)

It has been just an icy mess here the past couple of days :eek: Fortunately, we did not lose power! For 2 days straight there were only 2 of us in my dept that could make it in. There were Level 3 snow alerts (which means NO DRIVING unless your life depends on in) and trees down, etc. Today it's better, thank God :)

I have not worked out since Monday. My eating has been spotty, too. I might as well admit it ... it's good to be accountable. I would eat my normal clean meals for the first three, then have something else for supper with Rick :eek: hehehe, Tuesday it was pizza, yesterday it was a chili 5-way :o I got in the snowed-in mode.

Today it's back to normal, and I will post a workout tonight, I promise! My gym is in a very hilly area which is treacherous when it's icy out. Last night I had the option of working out downstairs (I did not have that option on Tuesday; we all were kicked out of here by 4:30). However, I just wanted to get home because the roads were still pretty bad. So ...

When does spring begin? Or summer???? lol ;)

[getnfit2007]

Good Morning Penny, Just come up to Ohio, near Cleveland, you wont have to worry about hill roads, just SUV's flying in the air (this morning, on major highway). Im sure you could handle the snow, and we could make snow angels!!!

(taps finger.....IM Waiting....:p)

[HoosierHardGain]

Well, only about 3 weeks until Spring Training! :)

You were best to just get on home last night, Penney...no need to mess around on those bad roads. Cincinnati streets can be a pain to get around in during nice weather, much less icy, snowy messes.

Now for the diet...well...

[rpaul11]

Penny Penny Penny.... :o careful with that diet hun :) Glad you are ok.

[FitIron]

The only thing that matters is that your focus has not been lost and you are anxious to get back in the gym.

NO MERCY!!!

Hhahahah, the visual I'm having of SUVs flying in the air is making me laugh!!!! (Although I'm sure it's not funny to whoever happened to be in the SUV!) :o

Snow angels are fun! :)

Now for the diet...well...
Cincinnati/N Kentucky is the worst in icy weather. Not to mention the hordes of people who do not know how to drive in the snow, lol :rolleyes: They're more dangerous than the ice conditions!

I did fumble on my diet some :o But today it's back to perfection!


Penny Penny Penny.... : o careful with that diet hun Glad you are ok.
Thanks Rich! :) How are you today?


The only thing that matters is that your focus has not been lost and you are anxious to get back in the gym.
To be honest, Tony, I was not in the gym mood earlier this week ... I don't know what was happening there.

But now I'm anxious to get back. Maybe I needed those couple of days off -- my energy levels were not good. I could've done better with the diet, though.


NO MERCY!!!
Absolutely no mercy! :D

Hey Penney it sounds like your area and mine are about the same. Ice, no power, trees down all over the place.

There are only 5 of us at work today, makes it easy to get stuff done. :D

So you made it to work..but you weren't supposed to be out unless your life depended on it. What on earth do you do?

It's a mess here! Today things are close to normal. Fortunately, we did not ever lose power. Did you?

It was no fun covering for everyone else in the office this week. I was real glad to see everyone come in today! :)


My day is always alot better when Penney is around! :)
Aw, thanks Brian :)


So you made it to work..but you weren't supposed to be out unless your life depended on it. What on earth do you do?
If I'm not mistaken, Sue, during a Level 3 you can go back and forth to work. But they recommend you don't unless you absolutely have to be there. I live, basically, up the street from where I work, all flat road ... so I knew I had to go, lol.


Uh oh Penney....

I think she meant business with that! Better behave.
She was rattling her swords, Hoos! :eek: But it's me that causes the most suffering to myself if I don't stick to my diet ... so I'll behave myself. ;)


Hope the afternoon is going great!
It's much better than Tues and Weds!!! lol ;) And I'm pumped about my gym visit tonight. 20 rep deads FTW! :D

[aftrshok]

We lost power for about 4 hours but my work didn't have power for a day and a half. Some of my co-workers don't have power and might not get it back for a week.

I have no idea about snow storms. I thought maybe you were a medic so you had to go out in it.

[push_it]

OH man.. sorry to hear about the weather :( Horrible stuff :(
Hope you are keeping warm.

[FitIron]

During bad weather you should pop in your favorite Richard Simmons vid and sweat to the oldies...LOL!!!


Although I am not quite sure how someone could sit and watch some fuzzy headed dude in pink/white strip tennis shorts with bobbie sox on dancing around and screaming group hugs for everyone...:D

I actually have that vid, Tony ... but I outgrew it a long time ago. I do have a Kathy Smith kickboxing vid that I still use when I am stuck at home but I did not use it this week :o

Yes, today the diet was perfect :) I just finished my 5th meal and will eat again in about an hour (so I can get my beauty sleep!).

There was something about that bad weather that made me think "We're snowed in! Time to eat!" Some paleo gene must have been tripped, lol :o

As for the cardio, I am going to have to get that in earlier in the day at work (take my lunch hour; since I usually eat at my desk anyway). I know I have been slacking (yes, slacking :eek: ) at my cardio. Tomorrow is going to be a cardio day (and yoga too) -- Saturday I will do my Day 3 circuit.

I will not fail you (or myself) again, my friend!


Have a great workout Penney:).
It was a wonderfully brutal hour of pain, Tiffany. 20-rep deads really test me! As well as the Bulgarian split squats ;)

[IronIc]

I made it to the gym tonight, and I feel so much happier that I made it there. It was a great workout! My energy level was better than it was on Monday.

BB DEADS: 115x20, 16/4, 10/10:eek:
These were off the floor, total deload, full deads :eek: I feel it in my hammies already. Hehhee, the damn bar kept on kissing my shins :p
DB MILITARY PRESS: 20sx20, 20, 16/4
The 20s are still challenging me. I won't increase until I can easily do at least 3 sets of 20.

BW BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT: 10/10, 10/10, 10/10
I still can't do 20 reps at a time with these, but my form is much much better. I tell you -- I hate doing them, but love the PUMP in my quads after I'm done with 'em!
DB PULLOVERS: 20x25, 23, 20
I love this exercise. I had amazing DOMS in my triceps from them last week ... hopefully it'll happen again. I may increase to 30 next week.

BW LEG THIGH EXTENSION: 20, 20, 20
These were tough tonight .. it could be because my legs were already fried by the deads & Bulgarians.
JACKKNIFE: 20, 20, 20
These made my quads burn, too.

I ran out of time to do cardio. I realize cardio is very very important, so I am going to have to do it at work around noon-1 pm.

Today is going to be another great torture day .. power yoga at lunch and cardio after work. I am going to make sure there's at least 5 cardio sessions per week. No more slacking!


GREAT WORK!
Thanks sweetie! That's huge coming from you.


Whew! Glad all is ok Darlin'
Thanks Ed! It was a bad storm, but most of the power outages were not in the Northern part of the state where I live. I hope everyone who suffered an outage gets power back today!


Mmmmmmmm chili 5 way, I really need to try that.......ok, after I make weight for my next comp, **sigh**
LOL! 5 ways are yummy ... especially with the habinero cheese that Skyline has! :D

Nice job throughout Penny! I can't believe you could do ANY quad work after the Bulgarians! Those are just brutal!!!!
They are, Joe :) Nothing, including squats, has given me the quad pump those do. I wish my quads were always that pumped!!! lol

They fried my legs. I am suprised I was even able to walk out of there, hehe


Nice workout last night, Penney...way to bring your top game again.
Thanks Hoos! I see you tried your hand (or should I say your legs?) at some of Jaime's torture : eek : Your legs will eventually love you for it. Eventually. ;)

Awsome work on the legs! Too bad you didn't fit cardio in... it happens. I missed mine on Tuesday but am making it up with a spin class tomorrow morning.
How you walking today? ;):p
My butt is very sore :) I expect DOMS elsewhere later today.

I hate missing cardio but I get to the gym so late that by the time I get done w/the main workout it's 8:30 or so :eek: So ... cardio is going to have to be a lunchtime activity ;)

I love spinning! I was taking classes in my gym but they're at 6 ... and lately I have not been able to get out of here on time :(

[HoosierHardGain]

Thanks Hoos! I see you tried your hand (or should I say your legs?) at some of Jaime's torture : eek : Your legs will eventually love you for it. Eventually. ;)


Yeah, but I'm going to make her come down here and wheel me around in a wheel chair on these days!

[blsmith]

Hey sweetie! :) It's better ... the sun is out and this crap is MELTING!!!!

Glad to hear it! I want it all gone by March!!! I have enough of this crap here that I don't want to see it south of here! :p

[IronIc]

Yeah, but I'm going to make her come down here and wheel me around in a wheel chair on these days!
Hehhehehe, those workouts will make you feel like a crip, don't they???? :D

No real plans right now except for church on Sunday. I do work out tomorrow.

Hey Brian! I am getting ready for Power Yoga in a few :)

Ha...sorry about that...I was renaming him for you.

should I cancel with my wife then? :eek:

[sueljo]

I made it to the gym tonight, and I feel so much happier that I made it there. It was a great workout! My energy level was better than it was on Monday.


Glad you finally got your workout in. Looks hardcore. Hope you can walk now!

What's on the weekend agenda Penney? Will you be making time for more cardio?
Tiffany, we'll probably stay home tomorrow. I am going to the gym though, for workout and cardio ;)

I am making a point to get my cardio in. I like cardio, but got into the habit of skipping it after workouts because I get to the gym so late. I decided to do cardio during my lunch hour at work (there's a small gym right beneath my cubicle).

[IronIc]

Lunch hour: power yoga for about an hour.

Evening after work: 30 minutes of MIIT on the treadmill, 3.5 mph.

Tomorrow is a circuit day + cardio, Sunday is an off day.

Eats:
#1: Sludge w/strawberries, 1/2 cup oatmeal (I keep on forgetting to post my oatmeal! haha)
#2: 2 scoops whey in water, 12 almonds
#3: 1 packet tuna, 1/2 cup brussels sprouts, 2 tbsp salsa, 12 almonds
#4: 5 oz pkg chicken, 1/2 cup brussels sprouts, 2 tbsp salsa, 12 almonds
#5: TBE: sludge w/blueberries
#6: TBE: some protein meal, unsure yet. Maybe some shrimp & almonds ...

I love brussels sprouts. I don't eat them very often, however, because they make me phart so much! :o lol

Sludge: take 1.5-2 scoops whey w/about 2 tbsp peanut butter & water. Mix until you get a pudding-type texture. If desired, add 3.5 oz of blueberries (or some other berry). I use frozen fruit :D Put in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes, then pull it back out and enjoy! It's like ice cream but better :D I actually like it in shake form best, but right now my mixer is broken :( I ordered the part for it & should be here in a few days.

Promise it won't happen again! Jaime's workouts totally fried me!!!! heheh :o:D

[IronIc]

I am totally hearting this website: http://www.figureathlete.com/index.jsp . I've been reading articles all morning and they are most helpful :D I think it's an offshoot of Testosterone Nation that is geared towards women.

What I find hilarious, though, are the differing theories on which kind of cardio is most effective for weight loss. I say any cardio that you'll do ... something is better than nothing. I do prefer interval training over (yawn!) LISS ... I am not a fan of running (which is not recommended for most people anyway because it's such an advanced athletic activity) but I do enjoy cardio like spinning and step intervals. I agree w/Tony that those classes (or any HIIT) eat muscle. I find myself softer after doing those classes for a while.

It's definitely more challenging doing cardio when you're living the lowcarb lifestyle. But it is still important!

Those are my thoughts for the day, lol. :p

[nockowt1]

Have a good weekend Penney.

[deltpecx]

Happy Tuesday all! :)

I recieved my material from Derek back in JULY; right around the time I discovered a local resource. ... I kept Derek's email in my Yahoo and pulled it out, printed it out, and started yesterday :D

I did the same thing, recieved Derek's plan at end of August an finally got around to it this week. I start on Monday.



I noticed that! Great support here.


Yeah, I noticed the support everyone has for each other too. That was one of the main reason I decided to give Team Scivation a try.

Hope you are having a great day!! :D

Like an idiot, I've never though to try sludge with strawberries. I have always used blueberries, or went plain. Now I'm salivating thinking about chopping up some fresh strawberries and mixing it in ice cold sludge!



Your diet is SPOT ON, btw.

Hi Kevin! How have you been? :)

I have been posting in this forum since October and I still get blown away by the support I get here. We all pull for each other's success! :D


What's going on Penney???

Hope you are having a great day!!
Hi Brian! We took it easy today, ate at Red Lobster -- I am getting ready to hit the gym in about 30-45 minutes. I do the 60-rep jumping jack workout today ... joy! ;)

And ... there will be cardio afterwards! Of course, it'll be lighter cardio today because those jumping jacks add alot of cardiovascular activity to this particular circuit day.


Girls get tired after a night with me...And I don't even have to be there...

: eek :
Hheheheh, Jaime, you wear me out!!! :eek: But that's okay .. I like it :p

I have always loved strawberries so I figured they'd go well in sludge. My assumption was correct :cool: Of course, blueberries are yummy too ... as are raspberries :D

you are doing so great Penney! I am in awe every day of the work you put in.

I was thinking about skipping my normal cheat meal today because of last week's monkey business, but decided that I am going TO KEEP ON SCHEDULE, including the cheats. I told Rick I did not want us to eat out any more this weekend, and he said, "Why?" lol :rolleyes: I told him because it's healthier that we don't eat out as much. It's still hard to do this with him, folks. So many others here have the same problem. It's tough being partnered when you are a bodybuilder! :rolleyes:

There are only five meals here because of the calories of my cheat meal. Jaime, if you see this, is that cool, or should I eat the 6th meal anyway? Hahah, I am still stuffed from the RL meal :o

[IronIc]

you are doing so great Penney! I am in awe every day of the work you put in.
Thanks Brian! It's a full-time job for sure!

[jaim91]

No, don't eat anymore.

And re: The cheating "schedule"...you're scheduled for one per week. So if you use it on Tuesday, then it doesn't get to happen again until the following week (beginning Monday)...sawwy!!! :o Tough love babe!

[IronIc]

No, don't eat anymore.
That sounds good to me. There were alot of calories in the RL meal.

LOL! I need the tough love babe ... I am a real brat sometimes! :o

But I really want to be successful in this, so NO MORE CHEATS until next Saturday. I was breezing through the Figure Athlete website earlier today and got very motivated by the articles & forum there. I know I can do this!

[The Solution]

You control what you order, and what you put in your mouth.
You dont have to cheat when you eat out because there is ALWAYS something on the menu to fit your diet,

Order the food you did without the glaze plain,
Order a chicken salad
Order Salmon + PLAIN VEGGIES
Order any lean protein source + Veggies, or any salad with a lean protein source and have it PLAIN with no dressing

The goals are high above, you mam just took a step back, But remember you can always overcome the obstacles because there is always a solution.

I eat plain food all week (lol except last week) :o

I told the Rickster that I'm eating out just once and that is it per week. You are correct, mister, that last week was not good.

It sure is easier eating clean when I am not out. heh :o

[Tifflex]

Happy Thursday everyone! :)


I have not worked out since Monday. My eating has been spotty, too. I might as well admit it ... it's good to be accountable. I would eat my normal clean meals for the first three, then have something else for supper with Rick :eek: hehehe, Tuesday it was pizza, yesterday it was a chili 5-way :o I got in the snowed-in mode.

Okay Penney, you went off plan Thursday with pizza and 5-way chili. One of those meals should have been your cheat for the week. CHA=one controlled cheat or carb meal.

You don't have to stop going out to dinner. YOU have to make better choices. Take a look at the restaurant's menu before you leave and decide what you will order. Protein+good fats+veggies for the win.

Rick does not order the food and make you eat it. Come on, get with it.

Dig deep Penney and decide what you want to accomplish. You've got to be consistent with the diet, training and cardio.

You have so much support, but you've got to want it for yourself:).

[IronIc]

Tonight was day 3, week 4 of Program J-Me. My tank was low again despite the fact I had my Xtend with me. I attribute it to cheating too much last week. I have much more energy in the gym when I eat clean.

BW Y SQUATS: 15, 15, 15
My knees were hurty tonight :( I still squeezed out a few extra reps, since this week I am supposed to add reps.
BW HORIZONTAL LUNGES: 12, 12, 10
Meh. :o lol
OFFSET KNEE PUSHUPS: 10, 10, 10
I tired quickly on these tonight. Hopfully my energy will improve soon.
SPIDERMAN CRAWLS: 10, 10, 10 each side
JUMPING JACKS: 60, 60, 60
Woot, I did all 3 sets w/o stopping. I have improved on this one.

CARDIO: LISS
Treadmill, 10 mins pre, 20 mins post

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got to the gym today (the little one at work) I was suprised by seeing several other people there. Usually it's a ghost town on Saturdays and Sundays.

I'll second this for sure. Heck...you were at red lobster. They have a whole list of fish they will broil for you with no sauce, no butter, however you want it. Add steamed veggies and or a salad you are good to go. :)
but stay away from the cheddar bay biscuits...they are the devil :D

I am not the only one preaching it girl.

Listen, when you tell us that you have goals, and you want to achieve them, are you really helping yourself by giving in, by just going off course more then deisgned?

Are you helping yourself by not fighting off the inner demons?

You have a mind, you have a soul, and you have a strong intuition. YOu make your own deceisions, what are you thinking when you know your going against your plan, your diet?

You know its only setting you back, and its further delaying progress so why do you do it?

You had your cheat Thursday and today is a couple days later but yet you strayed again.

Keep eating out, the only way you will overcome this is by continuing to out but making the right choice. You can only overcome your fears by taking them head on and getting it done. Order a chicken salad plain, so what if its plain, get used to it, do you think cutting is easy? NO, especially someone who is not use to doing this all the time or living the healthier lifestyle ya know, it takes time to settle in.

But really if you want to achieve them goals, you have to make sacrafices, eating out is one thing you will have to do because rick enjoys it, and you should support doing it because he is your husband and you love him.

Just think that you are eating at your house but the food is being prepared for you, how would you have it served? How would you cook your veggies, how would you have your protein source.

All you have to do is ask, open your mouth, and put the right food down the tube. If you feel like crap after you cheat, why do it? If you feel better when you eat clean, have it that way and KEEP it that way. Remember how you felt after this cheat, do you want to go into another session feeling like this.. i highly doubt it.

[rpaul11]

It's last week and IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D

Penny...the only day you have to worry about right now is today. Get through it and then worry about tomorow. There's a lot to be said about the "one day at a time" theory.

We all do the best we can. We learn new things every day. I think you have gotten your point across, Bob.

I think I need a little break from this journal. Things have gotten a tad too intense. Tough love has its place but a critical mass of it becomes condensating :( I try my darndest to be positive and respectful of everyone's intelligence here, whether they slip or not. I am an accountable person. I'd appreciate it if it were breached more respectfully.

I will continue to send my stats to Jaime.

[push_it]

Glad to see you are back on track.
So Jaime is allowing you to have 1cheat meal right? But did I read you don't want it? Are you taking it out?

[jaim91]

Is this week your last week on the plan?

Hi there! I am not taking the cheat out, Jaime won't let me ... and OMG I do want and need my cheat :o I splurged way too much last week and it showed this morning when I weighed in.

Thanks Jaime! :) I agree, it's behind me :)

Today is the last workout for the plan you sent to me. Are you sendin' a new one? :D

Because of what happened last week, I will send stats on Thursday (since you mentioned you wanted me sub-200 by Thursday. Thursday/Friday is a better weigh-in & pic day anyway, because it's the farthest away from the cheat meal, which always bloats me.

[HoosierHardGain]

Good morning, Penney :)
