i have decided to start a regular workout journal so that i can keep everything in one spot for the long haul. i will still do individual logs for supps that i may run but i will include all that info in here as well. i have 4 different logs now and i have to go back and forth to see how if i am improving and it drives me crazy ok, im already a little crazy but that makes me more crazy
so for those who may not know me, my name is Debbie, i am 38 yo, a single mother of a 6 yo daughter and a 5 yo son. i am a veterinarian and i own my own veterinary practice. i am a solo practitioner and have a staff consisting of an office manager, receptionist, 3 techs, and 3 different kennel help. let me tell you, nothing is more stressfull than employees i work on average 10+ hrs M-F and then whatever emergencies and such after and on weekends. i get up at 3:30 every morning because that is my quiet time, i read my bible, i journal and i do hanging leg raises. currently i am doing 6 sets of 40, 4 of which i have 10# ankle weights on. it is good for the abs
in this log i am going to include my sleep, my nutrition and my workouts and then my own ramblings of worthless thoughts and such. i am going to be doing posts of the different supps that i take and so on and so forth. kind of like a complete written record of my life
so here is my intro video, i like videos because it really helps me to know if i am improving and what areas i need to work on. plus, i like to ramble
here goes the determination drive, im excited to see where this takes me!
"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. for the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. and let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up." Galatians 6:7-9
i took beginning pics but i am too embarrassed to post them. so at the end of the year, i will hopefully have made enough improvement to post them this log will probably be done is sections, i am a short term goal person, my attention span isnt very long so i need to keep things short and simple. so there will be many different goals and such throughout. i will try and make sure i label and such when i change gears

Galatians 6:7-9
where do i want to end up- this is tough, i have no desire to compete, or to do some photoshoot. i just want to be happy with my body. so i think that this is going to be one of those things where there isnt any real set long term, strict numbers goal. i would like to drop my bf enough that i get rid of the cellulite on my ass and thighs, outside of that, i dont really care about much else

Galatians 6:7-9
when i started a year ago, i was 175# and had a bf of about 35%. so im pretty much the same weight, just more muscle and less fat. i have always had a pretty physical job. i did a mobile large animal practice for 9 years. i had a good solid base to start with even though i was pretty weak from a weight lifting standpoint. genetically, i am very gifted, i have good muscle, i just happen to also be genetically gifted to carry lots of fat on my ass and legs, you know, the typical pear shaped woman! hate it, although i have determined that i would rather be a pear than an apple

There's some good people in this section. I think you'll find lots of encouragement in here.
You look great btw.
there definately appears to be some great people here. nice to be among the mature and not the youngsters
hahaha discouraged at current time, pics and videos have a way of doing that to oneself!

Just got around to watching your vid. Some comments:
• I totally agree on nutrition and consistency. Spot on. I'm a calorie counter. It's amazing how easy it is if you have an iPhone or other mobile device. Takes 5 minutes out of my day. You may want to try if you have one. Just load your favorites and tap tap tap
• Thanks for the posing at the end! I almost closed it before the best part. Your abs look great.
• I'm looking forward to seeing the before/after shots of the backside lol.
• 3:30am? You crazy?

I'm not a bodybuilder but I play one on the internet.

LOL so uhmmmmm yeah, i know one day i will be a calorie counter, i do have an ipone and other than phone calls and text, i dont know how to use it yeah, a waste, im not a techy type person. i find it amazing that i have kind of figured out how to use the forums
ahhh, the posing, the youtube viewers are tough, no posing and they leave nasty comments haha
not so sure that those will ever ever appear, pride, it is a terrible thing
3:30am, yep, it is the absolute best time of the day! quiet, peaceful, just me and my thoughts! love it. years of getting up early to go out and hand milk the cows and feed the livestock has left me with the appreciation of early morning hours

Hey Doc - welcome to the O35! Good to see you around here. I've been following your posts in the OBF forum. Quite motivating - Thank you!

thank you so much for the warm welcome! i try to be in bed about 8:30-9pm and hope for no emergency calls during the night

So that I can keep things straight, what is your workout schedule (other than the crazy 7000 hanging leg raises at 3:30am (which are obviously working))? Do you workout at the gym or home? Do you do a bodypart split or a full body routine?

I'm not a bodybuilder but I play one on the internet.
good morning. so this is going to take me a little time to figure how best to do all this. it will probably be done in several post throughout the day since i have pretty much constant access to the computer as long as im home or in the clinic. my memory isnt too good so for the first while i will post multiple time so i get all the diet stuff in.
went to bed last night about 10, which is way late for me but last week when i was at the airport i bought a book, Jeffery Deavers The Cold Moon. great book, BM (before monchers) i was a voracious reader, AM (after monchers) just dont have the time as they cant stand to have mamma reading something that i cant read aloud to them! so i stayed up and finished it i love a good book. anyway, sleep wasnt great. Zac must have had a nightmare because he came in about 11 pm and was glued tight to me, had to be touching me and i dont sleep very well that way anymore. it has been too many years of sleeping by myself the dogs started their in and out about 5 am. the doberman can open the doors by herself she just hasnt mastered the closing part! Emma came in about 6:30 and we all laid there in a big pile until about 7. im telling you, me staying in bed that long is amazing!
i drink about 30 oz of water when i first get up. read that in Torsca Reno book, the clean eating diet, it is amazing what a difference it makes. i am weaning myself off the spirodex so took 1/2 tab. will probably cut this down to 1/4 tab soon. not so sure it really matters but it is more the placebo effect of taking something.
i just finished my Quattro shake, one scoop in about 2 cups of unsweetened soy milk. love the stuff!
going to shower and get ready for church and then fix me a bowl of oatmeal.

you are killing me Den! i suck so bad at it. i know that that is where i need the most improvement. and i know that im going to get lots of feedback on my very poor diet! but, BUT, i need it because i need to change and if i dont get the feedback i will stay in my current rut and still be here in this same spot a year from now and i dont want that. not that i completely hate the way i look but there is so much to improve upon! my problem is im lazy and i like things simple and i need a cook

Simple is the best. I myself have a very simple diet, i have it all planned out. Then i make my food for the week and bag up my meals and label them. Take them all to work (the other guys at work hate me cuz i really take up space in the shop fridge LOL) Then all i do is take out the bags that are marked 6 am or 9 am or 12 noon or 3 pm, warm them up and eat.
I am just about to go into the kitchen and do up 4 lbs of ground turkey in my wok. I did mu cow on the grill last night and weighed it all out. It IS simple, just a little time consuming.
YOU GOT THIS
As a wise man once said,, aint nuthin to it but to do it.
