OMG, you found my log! You've lost so much weight! I wanna catch up.

[Kat_investor]

8/25/07 & 8/26/07 Rest days. Did morning walk & ate clean, but no gym workout. Skipped dinner Sun night and this helped get me over the hump so I'm under 160 at last!

8/27/07
Monday
weight: 159.6 - yeah! under 160!
Morning walk - 30 minutes
Legs
legpress 110/40# 15 1/2
quad extensions 110# 15 3
abductor 110# 15 3
adducter 115# 15 3
ham curls 85# 15 3

Abs reverse crunches & leg lifts 100
Followed by 20 minutes cardio on stairclimber. Level 5 (2 min) level 4 (3 min) level 3 (3 min) level 2 for remaining 12 minutes.
Took IntraXCell about 15 minutes prior & 5 minutes after.
Food:
Bfast: fruit (1/2 peach, strawberries, pineapple, mango)
lunch: couscous salad, spinach, 4 veg sushi rolls
Dinner: 3 slices pizza, diet coke
water: 1.5 liters (see what happens when I don't drink enough water - I break down & eat pizza! it's the water's fault! :-)

Felt pretty tired after leg work out & seemed like a strain to get to 15 reps. Pushed the weights up where I could. Must've worked though because my quads & hams are nice and sore now (the following day)! Ouch. Today, 8/28/07 will be my last day on my IntraXCell supply. I will post photos & final thoughts tomorrow.

8/30/07
Please excuse my 2 day delay. Got sidetracked with a big project & had 2 rest days.

Morning walk - 35 minutes
Night time workout:
bench press bar+20/25# 15/10/8
dumbell flys 20#/side 15 3 (totally to failure w/spotting at end)

verticle nitro chest 50# 15/10 1/2
cable pressdowns 30#(rope)/40#(bar) 12/9/12 1/2
tricep extension 50# 15/20 2/1
Followed by 20 minutes cardio on stairclimber. Took IntraXCell about 15 minutes prior and ran out so there was no dosage for followup.
Really felt I was working to total failure. Total.

Bfast: bagel & cream cheese, nonfat cappuccino
snack: fruit: pineapple, mango w/lime
water: 1.5 liters

Here's a sampling of some of my progress over the past 6 weeks.
1st column is my workout at beginning followed by my most recent lifting weight:
lat pulldown (front) 60# 15/3 After 95# 12/3
shldr press machine 30# 12-8-10/3 After 30#/15/3
bench press bar+5# 15/12 2/1 After bar+20#/25# 15/10/8
chest press machine 20# 12/15 2/1 After 30# 15/3
seated pec dec 25# 15/3 After 75# 9/13/12
dumbell flys (incline) 12.5#/side 15/3 After 20#/side 15/3
legpress 90# 20/15 2/1 After 110/140# 15 1/2
quad extensions 60#/80# 15 1/2 After 110# 15/3
hamstring curls 40# 15/3 After 85# 15/3
abductor 150#/180# 12 2/1 After 110# 15 3 (diff machine)
adducter 80# 15/3 After 115# 15/3 (diff machine)
cable pressdowns 17.5#/20# 20/3 After 30/40 12/9/12 (diff machine)
NitroV triceps 50#/60#/70# 15/3 After 70# 20/3
incline flies 12.5#/side 15/20 1/2 After 15# 15/3
upright row (front) 7.5#/side 20/15/20 After 8# 15/3

I am very pleased with the results. I enjoyed taking the IntraXCell and am thinking about continuing. I will probably go off for a few weeks and see how I do without it. The side effects of tingling, prickly sensations were not noticeable after the first week or so and I kinda missed it. I will post photos shortly.

[Kat_investor]

I'm attaching photos taken just before I started the IntraXCell (7/5/07) & after completing my 30 day sample (8/30).

[Kat_investor]

I wish I knew how to imbed the photos into the message body & put a caption on them. Shucks. For anyone viewing the attachments, please note that the photos with the green tank top are the BEFORE photos, and the small blue top are the AFTER shots. I think the after shots show obvious definition & improvement.

Great progress Kat!! You obviously did a great job with your nutrition and training during this log I'm sure the IntraXCell didnt hurt either
