5 mins recumbant bike--Our gym has only one upright bike. I truly dislike the rec. because I can't seem to go fast enough to get my heart rate up. Someone else was using the upright when I completed my sets, so I tried the rec. again. It does almost nothing for me, other than make my knees ache.

I sat in the sauna for 20 mins after my workout. I know it doesn't really help me get in shape, but the quiet and relaxation is worth the time.

I've been plain old exhausted today. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I feel like doing nothing. Instead, I'm washing clothes. I'll try to ride my bike a little later to make up for the lack of energy I had in the gym today. I suspect that was due to intake. I had two eggs (didn't even finish them), then I went shopping at WM and at the meat store. I sat outside in the sun for a while, then I went to the gym. I didn't eat anything else before going and it had been several hours since b'fast. I don't think I'll try that again.

[ShayZ]

DD are you even eating 1,000 cals a day? My god, how are you surviving?

Also, get a decent workout regiment. You are doing similar things everyday. it does no good training the same body parts back to back.

My split is like this
Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Chest/abs
Wednesday: Back
Friday: Shoulders/abs
Saturday: Biceps and Triceps

You can change it up, but definitely change it up, and good luck

[DomesticDiva]

Thanks for your feedback, ShayZ!

I don't think I went over 1200 yesterday, which I know is way too low. Trying to do better today. I'm currently toying with my intake to find something that works for my increased activity level. For the last six weeks, I've been gaining muscle and losing inches (so I think I am losing fat), but the scale was moving at a snail's pace. I just want to kick it up a notch, but not go so far that I stall out.

With the exception of the added leg training yesterday, I'm following the routine the personal trainer that I am working with taught me (yes, she's a gym employee or contracter--no idea which). She has me doing arms and back in the same routine. Legs in another. Abs she said could be brought in as often as I felt like. Now, I'll be honest. Before I came here, I didn't know anything about the numerous scientific studies and training guidelines regarding body building. I'm not a stranger to weight training, but I definitely am a novice at the science of body building. There's a book I read about in the female training section (new rules of weight training, or something like that) that I may get when I can afford to. The bottom like is that there seem to be so many different opinions that I'm finding it hard to know what to stick with. The routine I'm doing is working for me at this time (though I do plan to change it up shortly and venture over to the free weight side of the gym). I'm unsure about changing something that IS working, if that makes sense. But, at the same time, if there's something that I can change that will help me to reach my fitness/weight loss goals faster and safer, I'm all for that.

Input and constructive criticism is always welcomed here.

[DomesticDiva]

Intake:
2 scrambled eggs with crumbled lean pork sausage
20 grapes
1 nutty bar
2 servings of corn chips w/salsa
4 tacos made w/ground round, Taco Bell brand shells, romaine lettuce, and shredded jack/cheddar cheese
1/8 of Klondike crunch bar
water

Training:
None! I didn't have the time yesterday and I was just absolutely physically exhausted. I went to bed at 10 pm (definitely not my usual routine). Back into the swing of things today, though.

[DomesticDiva]

Intake:
One slice of bread folded over 1/6 polish sausage link (turkey)
20 grapes
1 cup thin spaghetti, meat sauce with veggies (ground round veg spaghetti sauce), sprinkle of parmesean
2 servings of corn chips
1 bite of rice crispy treat
1 bite of chocolate moon pie
1 cup of salad (romaine, red cabbage, shredded carrots), 1 ounce shredded cheddar, 2 thin slices deli turkey

Training:
Couldn't make it to the gym (bummer!), so I made do with what I have at home.

20 mins home exercise bike, using moving handles occassionally
50 regular crunches
20 oblique crunches
leg extensions, hamstring curls, and leg lifts w/5lb leg weights
bicep curls, tricep extentions/curls, shoulder shrugs, shoulder lifts, etc with 3 lb dumb bells

[DomesticDiva]

2 homemade buttermilk pancakes, 1 tbs syrup, two lean sausage patties, 2 scrambled eggs, 1 oz shredded cheddar
20 grapes
1.5 c dirty rice (commercial mix, ground round, extra rice and seasonings), 3 tbs corn w/black pepper
2 corn chips
1 dill pickle spear
1 scoop whey protein (mixed with water, with crushed ice--yum) [PWO]
turkey sandwich (lean turkey, pp cheese, 1 tsp mayo, romaine lettuce)
1 bite cinnamon roll


Training:
20 minutes bike
leg press 160x12x3
abducter 100x12x3
adducter 100x12x3
leg extension 30x12x3
hamstring curl 30x10x2
abdominal 60x12x3

So, I lost another 3 lbs (woot!). That's the good news. The bad news is that I really had to push it on the weights tonight. I wonder if I lost stength or if it was just a fluke? TMI WARNING: I had diarrhea earlier this afternoon. Not the kind you get from a germ, but the kind that you get when your body is detoxing. I don't know if I was drained from a combination of that, a busy day, and PMS or if I actually went too far in decreasing my intake. So, I'm going to try increasing protein and overall intake and see where that gets me.

[DomesticDiva]

Intake:
2 whole eggs scrambled with 1/6 polish sausage (cut up), 2 tbs salsa
1 serving white corn chips
3 oz Dr. Pepper
10 grapes (the last of my grapes!)
b/s chicken breast (seasoned w/sea salt, black pepper and garlic powder), 1/2 c sweet peas, and homemade mushroom rice pilaf
2 peppermint hard candies (for throat)
4 slices lean turkey deli meat

I don't think I'll make it to the gym tonight. My throat is sore and I feel just plain tired. Maybe allergies, maybe a cold coming on. Either way, I'm taking it easy for the rest of the day. I always suck on peppermint or lemon hard candies when I have a sore throught (menthol cough drops give make me gag for some reason). I'll have to watch my intake on those because they have 50 cals each!

Edit: Went to bed at 9:00 and watched t.v., talked w/family until about 11:30. Slept until 7:30. Got up, made my dh bfast, then went back to bed and ended up napping until almost 10. I feel better, though. I have a lot more energy than I did yesterday.

the diarrhea probably from PMS...are you drinking all your water ? that can be it also ..

good job so far !!

One candy here, one cookie there, and before the day was over the numbers were high. Not binge high, but high. Starting fresh today.

Today I cut 15" of my hair. I am about to cover the grays with a color that matches my own. After that, I'm going to nap and then head outside to catch some rays. :D

I won't make it to the gym this weekend but I will certainly train at home.

[xR1pp3Rx]

after reading over your log i would like to say good luck and congrats on making your life style change! (Y) i have a question for you to think about while you make your journey.
would it not make since to take control of your time and efforts? to me it seems like your putting forth a solid effort to track calories and train ... but im sorry your diet is not helping you manage your time or efforts! in fact its hurting your efforts. i am not being mean and am not trying to pick on you, rather i want to stear you in a better direction. you diet is slowing you down and has way too high of a sugar and fat intake! you have super low protien intake. there is so much you could be doing to shorten the time envolved in loseing your weight and dynamicaly changing your life and body forever. before i go, i will recomend your diet is 40% protien 30% carbs 30% good dietary fats. ... no saturated fats like the ham and sausage!!! eat avacados and nuts for good quality fat. if you have a hard time eating wholefood macros you should look to quality supplements for added protien. i hope that helps you. once you have eaten that way for awhile your body will radically change in the least amount of time! i think redline or meltdown may help you as well

[DomesticDiva]

Thanks, xR1pp3Rx! It's something I'm working on. I may write more about my journey and my situation later.

Yesterday was a bust. Had company all morning and then again on the evening and the rest of the night (and will all day today, and tonight as well!). I didn't train like I had planned to. My eating was also "off", but not too terrible. Had a big salad for supper (mostly greens but w/some protein from 2 boiled eggs).

Today, I've had so far:
1 1/2 eggs over easy, 2 slices double fiber bread, 1/2 tsp butter, 1 thin slice lean deli ham

I lost another two pounds! :D

AND while at the gym Sunday, a woman stopped me and told me that she and her friends had noticed my weight loss and wanted to know how I was doing it, which was a real confidence booster for me. She asked how much I had lost and I told her how much I had lost to date and since joining the gym. She said she and her friends had been working 5 days a week, doing 70 mins of cardio a day and then they do light weights a couple of days a week. They haven't lost much. She said that someone at the gym told them not to lift more often or heavier because they would gain weight and get bigger!! I told her that more muscle mass would benefit her fat loss by increasing metabolism and she wouldn't get bigger, but she didn't seem sold. She asked how often I "do the machines" and I told her that I lift every time I go to the gym. I hate to see someone beat their head against the wall like that.

[DomesticDiva]

Intake:

My intake has been HORRIBLE today. I stepped back and realized that I was stress eating. I'm feeling anxious and nervous today, lots on my mind. I should be writing about it or talking about it, instead I've noshed on and off all day. I'm glad I finally realized what was happening and stopped myself.

I had planned on going to the gym today, but we're having severe storms and it's just been raining all day long. I don't think I'm going to make it. If I don't, I'll just have to do some exercise at home and hope tomorrow is a better day. No scratch that. I plan to kick my own a$$ in the gym tomorrow. So tired of repeating the same mistakes.

[DomesticDiva]

Participating in an online conference. Spending a lot of time in front of the computer rather than being active. Today, I did make it to the gym (yay!).

I should have done free weights, too. I have no excuse other than I didn't want to go over there alone with several men on that side of the gym. I know, I know. Get over it. I'm working on it.

Yesterday, intake was not so good. Started great with a simple Greek yogurt, ended with...uh...can't remember. I think it was a cheddarwurst. :/ This is a very great example of why it is helpful to record intake as it happens.

I was exhausted yesterday. I wanted to do *something*, so I just did cardio and a couple of muscle groups and left it at that. Took the day off today. Probably back to the gym tomorrow.

Will check the picks out now, MsT. I can't ever remember to go to the motivation section. It's just a habit to come here now. Speaking of, I don't know what I'll do with myself after the weekend. Do we get to keep these threads???

Nice big ticker you found here. I love it! I am going to check out the other ones available on the site you use and see if I find a ticker I like better than the one I am already using. I use www.tickerfactory.com. They have a lot of options, but I have been using that site for TWO years now, I need to change to something new!

I was thinking you should go ahead and open a new journal. You had asked if this one could still be used when OBF was over and I said of course, but I have opened my own new one now:

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=515350623#post515350623 (please read my opening statement if you want to learn a lil bit of info on who I am- its in the losing fat forums)

. . . and I think you should make a new one too. Its a refreshing experience to start fresh. I left a note in my old journal- the OBF one, that its closed and will be reopened at the start of the next OBF challenge. Just an idea to share with you.

I dressed up my page how I like it, to keep me interested in sticking to it and enjoying my scenery and what have ya. You should spice yours up too! I hope to see you in a new log soon- new log, new you.

Keep me posted!

I was thinking about switching to the losing fat logs. I can start posting here again in September (or whenever the next OBF comp will be!). :)

Your log is looking good!

Yes I put up a closed sign in my other journal and let peeps know it will reopen for the OBF in September, or whateva.

I found a ticker I like for now. Much brighter than my other one.

I hope to see you in a fresh journal soon! Link me when you get it up and runnin. Use your imagination and make it feel like home to ya.

Bye for now. Wink.
