Ok well since you guys all know about me already, see bspace or previous logs, no need to go into too much detail? yes I'm female, 21, likes boys and orange fluoro nail polish, occasionally like to go lift and I have cardio tendencies.. and I will be running a marathon in August (14km) and it is frkn freezing right now so I will try my best to get all my workouts in even though the weather is about 7 degrees !
Goal is to recomp as always, but it winter now, so I am not too worried about losing weight, I WANT TO GET STRONGER!!!! which I am hoping leviathan will help with. Also as you might also know, I have a love-hate relationship with stims and I am really hoping Reset AD will help me get the most out of them, and save myself from the crashing.. coz I love a thermo in winter!

Okay current training program since I have received it, is the ***Fusion workout*** (THANKS a bunch 5-6 for getting it mailed to me!!!!). There are a few more isolation exercises and volume has been jacked up a lot. YUM! Cardio will be done for 20mins after workouts, or if I am too dead, I will skip it and add an extra cardio session. It goes something like this:

Chest/bis + 20min cardio
Legs + 20min cardio
OFF + cardio
Back + 20min cardio
Shoulders/Tris + 20min cardio
OFF + cardio
OFF

My gym has a couple of **6pack** classes, I might go to one of them since my mate has been nagging me to, raving about how good it is..... half an hour of non-stop crunching.. ermm.. I'll give it a go..

Nutrition wise I am going with 4-5 meals a day.. if my meals are bigger I'll have 4 meals.. otherwise looks like this
Breakfast: Oats, whey, fruit (strawberries, banana etc)
PWO: Same as ^^
3, 4, 5 - carbs, fat, and protein, with veggies

PAL supps dosage: Leviathan dosage is half the recommendation.. I am not familiar with these ingredients and they seem to be quite potent, so I'll stick with a low dose for the time being and adjust if needed.

Pre-wo (AM): 1 cap Leviathan, 1 cap reset AD
Afternoon: 1 cap Leviathan, 1 cap reset AD

Okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk go go time!

I've been using Leviathan and Reset AD for the past few days, and so far I am liking the effects. First time I tried it was before Cardio and I had a great session. During lifting my endurance has kept up and I actually look forward to lifting the weight.. as opposed to going "OMG this is too heavy" :p haha

Other things I've noticed is that I'm really thirsty, appetite is under control, I do not get a huge surge in energy, and no crashing, sleep is fine (sometimes a bit too much at night.. I am waking up at 9am in the mornings ... that is about 2+hours later than normal!!!!!!!) I am becoming a lazy ass for sure..
One peculiar thing also is that the first few times my eyes felt a bit funny, hard to describe, but a bit like I've been staring at something for too long.. not sure, but it has subsided now.

Anyway, I need to backtrack a couple of workouts, since my net access is somewhat impaired.. yes I live in a primitive society.. and the flooding/storms etc has wreaked some kind of havoc on my connection... so I will update when I can.

In the meantime, I took some photos from my paper log to save me from writing it out again, maybe I'll do that for the rest of this log for a change, looks more authentic anyhow ;) heheh

Plus plus, all weights are in KG now. Because I can't be bothered to change it, for you guys multiply by 2.2 for the weight ok! :)

That was a killer workout... leviathan is helping with endurance? Maybe?

Random pic. (from March, @ ~60kg). because I just decided to draw.. Haven't drawn in maybe 10 years or so, but I've suddenly gotten this weird desire again.. I've got a few more sketches, some are a bit better.. I'll post them in upcoming days, if you have a killer physique and would like me to draw you, I would kindly give it a go too! ...no noodz but! :p

Drawing is great...You can make your boobs bigger and your waist smaller with the flick of a pen. If only working out produced such rapid results!

Oh well, a girl can always dream

Just came back from step class. I think I'm going to collapse. I was so ravenous I ate some wholewheat pasta.. with tuna, some then some spelt bread..cottage cheese, banana, strawberries... hmm.. I think I will post my diet from now on to keep myself accountable. I haven't cheated for a while now.. the stuffed stomach feeling feels a little strange.. hehhe .. also only been eating 4 meals a day, which could be contributing to my hunger.. these were my times today..

8.30am Oats, whey
<<workout>>
11.30am Oats, whey, strawberries
2pm Kidney beans, tuna, avocado, mushrooms
<<step class>>
8pm Wholewheat pasta, tuna.. cottage cheese, spelt bread, strawberries, banana...I think that was all!:think: oh yeah, some efas too. ok that's it.. knew I forgot something!

ok today is a rest day, running very low on sleep.. 3hours sleep + a big exam.. admissibility of evidence...policing powers.. some bizarre case law, a thickload of legislation... basically he admitted to a grievous bodily harm against a girl, they found the implement he used, and his dna.. but I made a pretty persuasive argument on why my "client" should have his admissions excluded..twisting everything in my favour...:p.. I know most days I really hate school, hate studying, but after almost 4 years, I'm glad I'm still here.. I think..I have learnt a lot... not just theory but critical thinking and synthesis of material.. for some reason though I cannot see myself being a corporate lawyer or even worse in tax.., it's just not something I want to spend the rest of my life doing, so I'm a little bit disheartened, maybe these 5 years of torture will go to waste.. maybe my 13 years of education just to get into this degree will go to waste.. or I could put my degree (when i get it) to use and live my whole life, a waste. Bleh. I don't want to think about it, but seeing it is end of session I'm getting somewhat introspective.... lalalla ok.. ok getting delusional.. I am relying on leviathan and reset ad to help me make it through the rest of the day at work. Only 2hours to go...............I want a job where I don't want to leave, not when I'm counting down the seconds til I can go home. Bah is that too much to ask?? I will figure out something, I just need to find out what I want.

/I am exhausted. So my rant will end here.

Just to give a quick review so far... Workout was great. I am feeling stronger. Only one rep PR today, but I have been able to get through the workout quite efficiently, especially the relatively high volume which I feel I am finally getting used to. I am focussed and on the job. Usually I struggle to get the 15kg dumbbells up, but today there was no such issue.

It has been about a week in now, and I believe my body is getting accustomed to the dosages I have been using. Energy throughout the day has been consistent and I have not felt the afternoon slump that I am generally accustomed to. Also, legs look like they are starting to slim down.. I'm not sure I want them to look like chopsticks again, but my butt looks damn good in jeans! Haha no complaints there. Back to regular eating again, today's meals were:

1): Hot cereal (oatmeal, wheat germ, wheat bran), wpi
PWO: Oatmeal, strawberries, wpi
3) Tofu, noodles, chicken, bowl of green veggies, efas
4) Cottage cheese, cashews
5) Jelly and bcaas

All in all, pretty happy with these products so far.

Saturday 30th June - cardio x2

Took an extra day off this week because I was busy with exams, so made up for it today

AM: 30min elliptical - intervals
... 1min @ lvl 15
... 2min @ lvl 10
repeat a few times
.. 5min @ lvl 10

PM: 45min random cardio
... 10min rower
(unbearable!!! I hate this machine so frkn much I do it first, makes me look forward to the rest of the workout!)
... 35min elliptical
(my fave machine was finally free! I swear I could probably stay on this forever...)
..... random intervals, worked up to lvl 16, then some steady state stuff lvl 10-12 I think.

I can only handle low-impact work at the moment, especially after yesterday, which is fine with me, low impact does not equal low intensity!!! :cool:

...............................

Weekly supp summary

Leviathan and reset AD - taken 1 each prior to workout ~45mins-1hr beforehand.. I find that the energy lasts for a while so it hasn't been necessary to take it immediately pre (e.g. 30mins or less).. PAL boys what do you think?

I also feel as though my endurance is increasing, albeit slowly, and I feel invigorated and a desire to go to the gym.. it has often been pretty hard with the cold weather and dragging myself there, but I haven't really felt that way, but somehow it gets me more motivated and ready to attack!

...............................

Weekly workout summary

Sun - OFF
Mon - Back/Pwo cardio
Tue - Shoulders/Triceps/Pwo cardio; PM Cardio
Wed - OFF
Thur - Chest/Bis/Pwo Cardio
Fri - Legs/Pwo cardio
Sat - AM cardio; PM cardio

Got all the workouts I wanted to get in, in this week, and they were all pretty good. So Big fat tick for this week.. next week I start winter school.. I'm studying SPACE LAW!!!! Haha should be fun. It will get harder to fit in workouts.. 9am starts til 7pm.. which means I leave the house at 7.30am.. get home just in time for bed.. aiyckkkk!! But the good thing is that the gym has changed its opening times til 5.30am instead of 6. So I might be able to sneak in a quick workout if I can get out of bed early enough and drag myself there when it is about 4degrees :D

....

Diet summary

Also.. haven't really been keeping track of calories lately.. I find myself being way to anal about the little things.. e.g. when I am 100 calories overboard I'll feel like a failure, and if I'm under I'll go nuts as well.. but I'm getting over that and just thinking about portions.. anyway, for a change I logged things today.. this is what I ate:

1) Oatbran, wheat bran, yoghurt, wpi; efas
2) Chicken stir-fry - with olive oil, random mixed greens; efas
3) Cottage cheese, jam, cashews;efas
4) Kanga stir-fry - with tomato, cabbage, olive oil; efas

Totals 42f 147c 121p Fibre: 47
(not including about 8 scoops of bcaas during my two cardio sessions..)

Btw it hurt real bad yesterday, I only managed about 15mins. I'll do some more tonight, hopefully it won't be as bad!

Sapper.. heh there is about one machine that I like, after a while level 5 feels like nothing. But level 15 I can only last one minute before the machine stops moving! Interval cardio is alright, makes time go by really quick and there's always a mini-break around the bend to look forward to!

14km in 90min is still very good over that long of a distance.

I hope you improve your time! Good Luck!!
I think the one who finished first took 40mins.. so just slightly over double the time, not bad since I didn't train at all for it, I guess :D

But it is for a good cause!

Mr resident bunny I could take a pointer from you.

Oh I missed the 14km, I thought you were running the full thing at first glance (the ~42km "marathon")

My ears are pretty much clipped for now ;)

Probably be a good idea to do at least one long run a week (weekend is nice to mimic race day), build up so that you can run at least 16-20km comfortably a few weeks before the race, then taper a bit and carb load starting a week prior. Other days just set pace goals or do distance runs and gradually increase speed/distance. No more than 10% is a general rule to up mileage per week so you don't kill the legs. Don't run to exhaustion or it will hurt your recovery (assuming same hormonal changes for girls as guys).

You might want to train some barefoot, I never tried this but in theory it should help, good read either way: http://www.quickswood.com/my_weblog/2006/08/athletic_footwe.html

Actually I was thinking of doing a lot of low-impact training to get my endurance up (not so great right now) - bike, elliptical, that sort of thing, what do you think? As opposed to actually running which kills my recovery.. or should I do both?

And no, I'm not crazy enough to do 42km.. haha I am tired just thinking about it.. it would take me two days.

That would help, i'd try to get some good runs in though at least towards August. Although an hour and a half is pretty good you must know what you're doing. It is definitely hard to weight train and run both at high efforts, I burned out quickly when I tried this.

lol! :p

... Anyway, just wanted to say this evening I was so buzzed I did extra cardio, yes extra! so it was actually 1hour step class, + 45mins RPM (spinning). Felt like I could go forever, no kidding! Since I'm on 3 caps of leviathan now, the last one wasn't with reset AD, so it seemed to kick in quicker, I only took it ~15mins beforehand (oops I forgot..)

Anyway, cardio supps were like this:
1 cap leviathan
2 caps PEA
2 scoops bcaas (right now I'm mixing Excell strawberry with watermelon xtend - tastes damn good. Not too sweet. I've had heaps of the excell but the taste is pretty mild, and watermelon is pretty strong, the mix is purrfect in icy water.) To be honest, I only take bcaas because of all the research, as to its effects, I am not sure if it is placebo or if it actually works.. When I use PW or Octane though, I notice a greater effect. Anyway it is that having something sweet to sip on definitely makes my sessions more bearable and I'm banking on its anticatabolic effects. The PEA also gave me a nice euphoric feeling, and my endurance is getting better! Good sesh!

Saturday 7th July - OFF

So I have been feeling like complete sh*t since yesterday and today.. symptoms are pretty bad..

I think I overdid it when I did a long intense cardio session after leg day. My eyes are watery, I feel dizzy, my nose runs like a tap, my muscles are sore like none other, I've been taking nurofen, (painkiller) which helps for a little bit, my appetite is two meals a day as opposed to constantly ravenous and my face feels flushed, and I've been getting shivers even though my air conditioner is on max heat.

I think I will just take a few days off and up my carbs, fruit and antiox, any other suggestions?

Here's my workout summary for this week: :rolleyes: methinks I should cut down big time.. i'm so silly!

Sun - Back + 20min pwo cardio, PM cardio
Mon - OFF
Tue - Shoulders/Tris + 20min pwo cardio, PM: 2 hours cardio
Wed - Cardio
Thur - Legs + 20min pwo cardio
Fri - Cardio (1hour.. this was the last straw!)
Sat - collapse..

Stopped taking Leviathan and reset today, just so I could nap during the day. On a brighter note, I can definitely tell my thighs are looking slimmer and my stummy is flatter! Something to keep me happy! I'm pretty sure the leviathan has been giving me the stamina and endurance for such voluminous workouts and of such high quantity, probably so much so that it has allowed me to push past my limits!

I having just been absolutely killing it in the gym the last 2 weeks, doing my usual onslaught with the weights and uppingmy cardio to over an hour at a much higher level than I usually do and dropped my carbs yet again just trying to lose the last little bit of fat on me.

Now Im sick damnit! Spent today in bed, didnt go to work or train...going to rest for a day or two then see how I feel. I should have seen it coming since I just wasnt feeling 100% the last couple days.guess my bod just couldnt take it! at least I can finally see the last row abs below my belly-button popping out though lol.

Just made it through the LONGEST 3 days of my life that I have ever been through, with barely a spare second to breathe, let alone train.. been leaving the house bright and early in the AM, couped up all day in a lil classroom and get back home just in time for bed. My brain is completely fried now. Haven't been to the gym for a few days, no wonder I am grumpy. Early night tonight, lucky friday the 13th and I'll be back to my workout tomorrow morning to ungrumpify myself!

Cardio: 1 hour body step.

Diet has been very bland lately, I'm trying to cut out artificial sweeteners.. looks a bit like this

1) Oats, banana, chicken
2) Oats, banana, whey
3) Sweet potato, chicken, greens & veg
4) Same as 3

Cutting down volume of workouts a little bit, I don't really like that, but I don't want to end up having to take another week off from overtraining/getting sick again. My gym bought some pretty new dumbbells, and benches so I was using them all day.. they remind me of the formula one grand prix... they are seriously cool!

Eating some more carbs as well and it seems to help with mood and recovery. Leviathan is 2 caps pre-workout now, and one later in the day. Still going great. Despite my uppage in carbs, tummy is shrinking! Down 1.5cm since the beginning. But I am always thirsty!!

ab-swing asianbabe

07-16-2007, 06:01 PM

Yeah, I'm gonna save so much money, I didn't realise how much artificial sweetener I've been using.. I had this crazy addiction to watermelon drops and candy.. I could go through a pack a day.. hah, and flavoured whey, splenda everything, all this sugar free jam and other bs I'm cutting out. I know I'll feel better. The only thing I'm taking now is probably xtend, I don't think I can hack bulk flavoured bcaas from what I've been hearing.. not that hardcore, yet :p

I've replaced all that with some fruit instead pre/post workout. At other times, I've been drinking this really cool green tea, it is a mix of roasted rice and green tea. It is so yummy, definitely makes splenda free days easier to bear!

Wednesday 18th July - Legs, cardio

... leg extensions ...
15x25kg 10x35kg 8x45kg

... leg press ...
10x120kg 6x140kg 6x140kg

... db lunges ...
2 sets: 10/10 x 12kgs

.. then I did some light squats, front squats and stiff legged deads
8 sets x8, working on form. I usually go below parallel but today they were all a2g. My abs felt like they had a pretty good workout.

... standing calf raises ...
2 sets x 30

... lying hamstrings ... almost "forgot" to do these
10,10,8 x 17.5kg

Cardio: 1 hour ... stepping, jumping, random fun ****.

Not the bestest of workouts, I actually ran out of steam halfway through and felt kinda dizzy, which is why I took it a bit easier towards the end.

On an unrelated note, saw an old lady hobble down the road with a walking stick in the freezing cold. I felt saddened, almost to the point of tears...sometimes I feel like I just take for granted my relatively comfortable lifestyle. I sit in my room with my heater on full blast, and I'm thinking that lady is probably freezing at home with her old clothes on and no one to take care of her.. I hate feeling bad about things like this, especially when I can't really do anything to help :o

That's a really selfless thought you had AB. Good to know there are girls out there that don't just think about themselves :)

Back to the topic at hand... I saw your new diet and don't you think it's a bit bland? How do you keep that up? I couldn't keep that up for more than a few days. Anyway, if it's working then good job!

Eh, I like the taste of bland chicken. But I eat a lot of strawberries, so that should suffice to satisfy my sweet tooth. Gonna start eating 6 meals a day again instead of 4 for a little while :/.. prep will suck, but I can do it in bulk so it shouldn't take a horrendously long time.

Worked out with a mate so here's some of the stuff we did, about 3-4 sets of each, with little rest between sets.

BB rows 4x15
Db rows 3x12
Lat pulldowns 3x15
Straight arm pulldowns 3x15
Hyperextensions 3x15

Cardio: 20min elliptical @ level 10 (I rarely check because I don't think they're that accurate, but today I did and the hr monitor said I was at 170.. felt more like 120...)

Form was pretty good, felt great MM connection today. Also took 2 leviathan pre-workout.

Been pretty busy the past couple of days, but I've been working out and eating well

Monday - Shoulders and calves, and Cardio in the AM for 25mins at the beloved elliptical machine.

Tuesday - LEGS BABY!!!!! Did some squats, leg extensions, leg curls, leg press, stiff leggeds.. no cardio coz I was getting late for school.

Diet for the past few days, today I get some extra carbs coz I've been living on cauliflower and strawberries :o for 3 days now!

Anyway, pretty pretty happy with my progress so far, supps are still doing a good job, took 2 leviathan + 1 reset ad preworkout as usual, I was fired up to lift even in the freezingness morning that it was today!!! Woooooo!

Let me see if I can remember the prices
..chicken breast in the corner $10/kg, that's a bit more than 2kg there to last me about 3 days I think if I eat it at every meal!
..lots of green tea
..almonds, avocado, mixed nuts, fish oils, sesathin
.. cauliflower.. just coz it was cheap, I can't afford broccoli right now since it is $7bux a kg and I eat a LOT.
.. strawberries, these are about $4 a punnett. One a day keeps me happy.

2nd pic - MMmm carbs for tonight, its not pizza, but it will have to suffice for now :mad::)

Thursday 26th July - Chest, cardio

.. db incline bench 3x15
.. db flat bench 3x15
.. db low incline flyes 3x15
.. pushups 10, 15, 10 (15 was on my knees :()
.. medicine ball crunches 3x20
.. fitball between leg raises 20, 13, 10, 10

... CARDIO.. I dunno yet, gonna go in a sec to the gym and figure it out there.
Umm what can I say about this workout.. felt like a weak newb all over again. My benching is only with 10kg dumbbells and they felt like 10 000. :o Weights are so embarrassing I don't even want to write them out.

I woke up STARVING at 4.30am. Drank some hot tea and fell back to bed, ate breakfast/pre-workout meal which was chicken, avocado and strawberries. These lack of carbs is good for my physique but not good for my mood! Then I went back for a nap.. and woke up about 2 hours later going hey shiiet I'm meant to be at the gym! So my stummy was growling during my first warm up set... GRRRRRRR.

http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/3046/img5903kg7.jpg

Anyway, here's what's in store for the next few days in terms of food.. bought some chicken, kanga and tuna as well.. splurged on MUSHROOOMS coz they're the best veggie ever (well this week anyway) and 4 bunches of celery... peanuts, walnuts, almonds.. and some carrots to eat when i'm in class. Well celery and carrots are a little bit better than asparagus in the middle of a lecture... heh. Ok well time for cardio!

http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9409/leviathankk6.jpg

Edit.. so for cardio this is what I ended up doing...

...15min elliptical trainer@level 8-10
..20min 6pack xpress class :rolleyes: yes 20mins straight of random crunches, vsitups leg raises etcetc.. this was my first time and boy was it hell!
..20 min treadmill.. easy pace, added 2x5ish min jogs @10km

Saturday 28th July

Didn't get to work out today (big exam), but I'll resume in the morning. Diet was better today. I have been eating pretty much the same thing all week (save carb up every 3 days)

Meal 1: 6.30am
1 can tuna
1 tomato
4 big mushrooms
10 almonds
1 fish oil
1 sesa

Meal 2: 9.30am
4oz chicken
1 stick celery
10 almonds
1 fish oil

Meal 3: 1.30pm
4oz chicken
1 stick celery
20 almonds
1 fish oil

Meal 4: 3.30pm
5oz kangaroo
1 stick celery
1 tomato
4 mushrooms
1/2 avocado
1 sesa

Meal 5: 5.30pm
1.5 sc wpi
3 fish oil
1 tsp psyllium

Meal 6: 8pm
3.5oz kangaroo
4 sticks celery
.5oz walnuts
1 sesa

Fitday totals 1613cals 66f 52c 212p 23fibre

hmm.. took some extra fibre today because I don't seem to be getting enough, my choice of veggies for this week (celery, tomato, mushies) are barely pushing 20g a day... but I still have about 50 fat celery sticks left and 2 bags of mushrooms.

Felt a little bloated after the carb up yesterday, but otherwise, energy levels and mood seem to be pretty okay!!

oh yeah.. I made mum some oatmeal in the morning. She loves eating out, but I convinced her to to replace one of her meals with oatmeal everyday.. she's agreed but only if I make it.. she's likes taking it with milk right now.. next time I'll try to spike it with a scoop of unflavoured wpi and hope she doesn't notice :) .. I'm slowly get her to transition.. she's also taking some L-hupA because she keeps forgetting things.. her short term memory or lack of is getting pretty evident. She forgets what I tell her all the time :(. Heh and, I've been trying to teach her some fun aerobics and she had fun shuffling and kickin...... gah, I love her to bits.

You guys don't have pumpkin soup???!?!?

Actually it was homemade but didn't make it :/ We used an entire pumpkin (I have no idea how many pounds it was) and a huge pot.. good for a cold winter's night.

Oh yeah, but you guys have pumpkin pie! I have never tried them, only seen the pics, but they look yummy :(

HMFMF!! Yummy pumpkin soup would consist of lots of crunchy croutons, sour cream and more cream.. Well my family's version is pretty much pureed pumpkin in chicken broth. Tastes just as good to me coz I've forgotten how the other one tastes :/

ohhh look what I found :D

Crust:
2.5 cups of oats finely chopped(use food processor or blender)
2 egg whites
3/4 cup Splenda (or splenda, whatever you use to taste)
1/3 cup liquid I can't believe it's not butter spray.

Mix together well in a bowl and spread onto a greased pie pan.
Place in 425 oven for just 10 min.
remove.

Pie Filling:
1 can of Pumpkin Puree
1/3 cup splenda
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
1 egg white
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (nutmeg, ginger, clove) to taste
1 tbsp cinnamon.

Mix well and pour over pie crust Put back in 425 oven for 15 min and then reduce to 350 for about 25 min or until a knife comes out clean from the center......when cooled spread a thin layer of FF cool whip on top!!!

if you cut into 11 slices..they yield about...

6 grams of protein

I just ate kanga for 3 meals today. I think I've had enough.
I've also gone through almost 2 of 4 bunches of celery. I think I've had enough.

2 more meals and one cardio session (and maybe a 30min 6pack express class :D) until my much deserved carb up!!!

Did a step class this morning which was a killer sweatfest.. but I am pretty fkn carb depleted right now. Oh, torture is so much fun!!

Workout: Cardio

AM: 1 hour bodystep

PM: 1 hour bodyattack
(aka jumping, running and plyo squats/lunges)

I have no idea how I managed to get through all that cardio.. was feeling pretty depleted, but the stims + spiking my xtend with octane seemed to do the trick on both occasions. Hopefully the carb up will help my legs recover because there was an awful lot of high impact bouncing around.

Not too shabby this time around ey? I have no idea how many of you actually read the meals, but the fact that I have to sit and type them all out every night gives me a bit of motivation to make sure I'm eating right during the day and so when I look back on my day I can sleep easy :/
I'm serious(ly going nutso)!!!!

I'm ignoring some stummy pain which means it is cranky time of the month. On a brighter note, I have the strangest inkling that it might be LEG day tomorrow! :p

Wow.. this post is so long, if you made it to the end I must congratulate you.

Finally decided it was time to quit my job today. It was a hard decision.

I couldn't ask for much better.. it is less than 5mins walk away.. I can wake up at a quarter to 9 and get there on time, and even if I'm late they are cool. I don't do very much, hence my ability to post (aka right now).. I get to work as many or as few days as I want. I can even hang out there if I ever get kicked out from home.

But I stopped learning and felt it was definitely time to move on. I should be graduating by the end of next year... But the big bad corporate world is scary and I am not sure I am ready yet

Hey peeps!! I missed yesterday's diet post but there was a pretty big cheat in there since it was my brother's birthday dinner :/ We ate a lot and I did not feel very hungry this morning, so it was hard to get back into the diet.. well without further ado,

Here's the crux of yesterday's foods:

Tuesday 31st July

Workout - legs & bis

Food:

Meal 1:
5oz kanga
1 cup chinese cabbage
couple of strawberries
10 walnuts

Meal 2:
Same as 1

Meal 3:
6oz chicken breast

Meal 4:
1.5 scoop wpi

Meal 5 ==> Cheat, I have no idea how many calories.. but there were noodles, pork, fruit and other sickeningly sweet stuff.. got a bit of a tummy ache so I don't think I'll be doing that again anytime soon!

Totals:::: 100000000cals or thereabouts, I have no clue.

Wednesday 1st August

Today was an off day. My first meal was at 9am and I literally had to force it down.. here's how it went;

Meal 1: 9am
1/2 can tuna
10 walnuts

Meal 2: 11.30
1/2 can tuna
10 almonds

Meal 3: 1.30pm
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 can tuna
2oz chicken
1/2 avocado
1 stick celery
1 sesa

Meal 4: 6pm
1 cup cottage cheese
1 sc muscle milk
5 walnuts
2 sesa

Meal 5: 8pm
1 cup xtend bcaa green tea jelly

Totals 1595cal 78f 43c 183p (13fib :( )

Ate pretty haphazardly today, I can think up a thousand excuses, but meh, I am solely resposible for everything I do. Tomorrow I will be a little more prepared, as well as get in some veggies (they were severely lacking today, also due to my lack of appetite). And it is way too early for me to slip up already! I refuse :mad: Gotta plan more. 6 meals a day can be a little bit of a b*tch, especially if you slept in in the morning! :p

Jesus how much kangaroo do you eat lol

Just a question, not to be too picky but why have casein protein for meal one? Why not have whey?
I think i ate 600g of that today :eek:

CC? no real reason, just trying to find some more sources of whole foods. I'm not even taking whey post-wo unless I am really stuck for time... and tuna for breakfast, eh.. :o maybe tomorrow haha

Working on my frkn cover letter now..due tomorrow "I am the best pick me, but don't look at my super awesome grades!" :rolleyes:

so I think my calves are not developed equally, I don't know if one is underdeveloped but for some reason to me they just don't look the same.. I can only notice it when I'm on my toes, but it is annoying!! :mad: What the hell do I do???? :confused: Maybe I've been walking with emphasis on one side all the time, or one leg is just super non-responsive to the same calve raises :(
