Juggernauting for motivation, joining the crowd!

Thanks-I was hesitant to do 2 scoops, I may try 1.5.

[WetDogHottie]

Had to share my lunch, Thai noodle bowl
Macros:
C271 c18 f7 p42
4 oz chicken breast
1 cup bullion, low sodium chicken
dash of coconut flavoring
dash of curry
dash of lime(eliminate the lime if the thai seasoning has lime flavor already, or use RealLime packet)
cilantro to taste
dash of thai seasoning from the bulk spice store
miracle noodle packet
frozen carrots, about 8 of them
2 tbsps PB2
onion powder to taste
salt to taste or liquid coconut animos for flavor if desired
You can saute the chicken and carrots with a bit of Pam with the onion powder if you choose, and precook the Miracle Noodles according to directions. I just let it all simmer together on the stove.

It's not like the creamy goodness you get at the store, but it works if you're trying to watch macros.

mmmm... looks yummy! :-)

[rhotisserie]

that does look pretty tasty

[esco5288]

Took me a bit, because I wanted to compare:

last week: side tri's I'm at 25 per side, x2 This week: 26 per
Last week: Cogden curls 10lbsx20 This week:8x20 15x10
Last week: straight arm shoulder raises, 10lbs x 16x 2 This week:10x16 x2
Last week: alt shoulder press 20lbs press 20lbs x 8 x 2 This week: 6x25 8x20
Last week: seated arm raise 15lb x 16 x 2 This week:10x16x2
Last week: tricep kickback 25lbs x 8, 20lbs x10 This week: 12x20 8x25
Last week: in and out biceps 20lbs x 11 This week: 16x20 12x20
Last week: static curls 15lbs x 16 x 2 This week: 15x16x2
Last week: upright row 25lbs x 10 x 2 This week: 25x8x2
Last week: flip grip triceps 10 lbs x 15 x 2 This week: 16x10x2

Added lying triceps 10x20x2
deep swimmer 20 x 8 15 x 8
crouching Cohen 10x16x2(these hurt my back, otherwise I could lift a lot heavier)
Cogden Curls 8x20, 15 x 10

For those that noticed, we did take a lot of p90x exercises but we did not follow format. Overall, gains in one week, that I'm happy with.

1 scoop of orange Juggernaut pre, one scoop of Glutamine MTX post. I think I *may* be able to graduate to two scoops of Juggernaut. I'm debating trying it out to see if I can shave some time off of my runs.

Last week: Running 1.5 miles This week: same
added 15 minutes of core this week.

Wow.. Awesome job with the workout and the run as well. You are doing amazing work. I think two scoops is a great idea but try 1 1/2 first before going straight to 2 scoops.

Today we were supposed to be demoing lifts in class today, and I twisted my snkle slightly yesterday so I was going to not do anything. However, class was called off, so I ran 2 miles at a leisurely pace, 11 minute miles.

Yesterdays macros:

ankle feel ok?

ankle feel ok?

Wondering the same thing.

[fittness93]

It's all right-could be better, thanks for asking, guys . I think running gently on it was easier than an hour demoing barbell lunges would have been.


Food porn(kind of):

Found this new mix at the health food store, 84 calorie muffins. Not sure how good they'll be, but I'm testing them out. They did this weird deflating thing out of the oven:





They have to cool for 2 hours. The macros in them are good, though-if they taste okay they might be an excellent treat.

[WildBill22]

Hey Mary - things are looking awesome in here - loving the food pics. I would graduate your JUGGERNAUT dosage slowly. I started at 1 scoop and increased to 1 1/4 and maxed out at 1 1/2. I went a long time at this level until I just cycled off this week - ready to pick things back up Friday and will start at 1 scoop + 1 scoop of ConCret.

Keep up the awesome work Mary!

[djz227]

Hi, I finally got around to returning your visits.
180 push-ups! Holy Crap Girl! The most I ever did was 3 sets of 12 or a max of 24 in a row.
I can't wait to see your next workout.

K, so I'm getting a slew of medical tests this week and next, so I have to wake up several times a night to record things. I did not get up at 5:00 AM so no running. I may pull out the Wii Fit Plus. I haven't used it in a year, and might get some cardio in, but I'm not going to stress on it. I have to spend the next 3 days perfecting my barbell lunges. I'm demoing them in class and I have to do them to perfection. I will be getting enough of a workout practicing them.

Yesterday's macros are a little high for a rest day, but not bad enough for a cheat day:
C1,875 c319 f96 p158

Today: push-ups x 180 various types
back flys 2 x 10 20lbs
curls 4x10x20
lawnmowers 1x40
1x30
arm raises 2x10x20
bent over back row 2x10x20
15 minutes ab work

I was exhausted. Got my one scoop of Juggernaut in, and was able to push enough on the pushups that I felt like puking. 180 reps is a lot, especially on little sound sleep. I was not as energetic as last week's push-up day, but the Juggernaut is a help. It's not going to do the workout for me,lol.
Motivation was a 6/10
Workout was an 8/10
overall I'm pretty pleased.

Thanks for the tip-I think your plan does sound pretty good, to taper it in.

Thanks! I don't think its so much impressive as cheap to do,lol. No equipment needed.

[fittness93]

The muffins were terrible. All you taste is psyllium husk.


I'll just add today's macros to this post as opposed to bumping my log:

C1,622 c193 f32 p167

Still doing 1 scoop of Juggernaut first thing in the AM, I am planning on increasing it.
Glutamine MTX before bed, this time, in my shake.

Deb, I gotta agree with you! The most I've done at one session is 8 sets of 12 or 8 sets of 13 and would be exhausted afterwards! I'd like to try again now with the juggernaut--thinking that would make a big difference, but still don't think I could come anywhere close to fittness 180 pushups! :-) Great work, girl!!! :-)

[esco5288]

Looking awesome in here Mary. Love all those Pushups too wow. You really are Juggernaut strong for real. What is on tap for today?

The ankle is not cooperating this morning, and the one 5k I always run(church sponsored) is a week away, so unfortunately I had to scrap my leg day today. That's also the area that needs the most work, so I'm disappointed. I'm going ahead and doing the exercise bike because it's not going to impact the ankle.

Thanks! I never really thought it was that impressive, I just do 20 or so in between lifting sets? But thanks!

Too bad on the muffins. For a moment there they looked like they would be tasty. Good job on the pushups.

Oh wow that sucks your ankle is giving you issues I do hope your able to run your annual 5K. The bike is still good Cardio not the best but good. Just do what you can and hopefully you will be in there killing the run.

Thanks for the encouragement! We're a poor church in an economically challenged area. This 5k and the festival it accompanies is pretty much all that keeps us going. In our area, the only food pantry is run by all of the religions and groups in the area(such as the Veterans, etc), unfortunately with no State support. I do feel pressure to perform

Good idea laying off the high impact stuff. Rest your ankle. Are you taking Motrin or any other anti-inflammatories?

Wow i can totally see the pressure you are under. Why won't the state help though?? That is just weird in itself. Try to take it easy on your training so as to not make it worst. If you do run I hope you do well and don't get hurt at all. make sure to use Icy Hot on it if you can and take Motrin or some other anit-inflammatory as said by others. Hopefully you have yourself a good weekend.

Thanks-I don't do anti-inflammatory if I can help it, too many years on them after the car accident, have to baby my kidneys now.

elf a good weekend.

Thanks for the support! Illinois is broke. We had ol' Blageovich as governor. No moolah left for food pantries.
I did 30 on the bike,15 on abs yesterday. Taking today instead of tomorrow for rest day in the hopes of hitting the legs hard tomorrow. Ankle is a little better today so hopefully tomorrow it's on like Donkey Kong!( yes, I am truly that nerdy, don't even get me started on the horrible casting of Famke Jansen as Jean in xmen,lol-still bitter all of these years later )

Well I am sorry about the governor killing your state hun that sucks on so many levels. Awesome workout right there though that is for sure. I took today off myself doing Cardio and Abs tomorrow. no way your a nerd too I can be as well loved comics as a kid still into sci fi flicks so I can understand the bitterness you have towards her being casted as Jean I'm mad they havent brought Pheonix out.

[alika2die4]

Understandable. Maybe try a high dose of Glucosamine chondroitin and Fishoils?

[kconnell]

Ice! Ice an injury and do it often. Ice keeps the swelling at bay and allows the area to heal much faster.

[charlievanriper]

Keep Iceing it and def kick up your fish oils (I do 7 to 8ooo mg a day but if I i feel pain in a joint ect I kick it up around 12 to 15ooomg a day, and all the pain goes away ( You'll smell and taste fish oil but you'll heal lol)

Good job as I said before on the Pushups (I love doing those) try to increase those between set Pushups (remember progressive resistance stimulates muscand strength increases, not staying stagnant)

"WHAT YOU CAN ENVISION, YOU CAN CREATE"

[fittness93]

I never even thought about fish oils-thanks everyone, I'm going to try it!

[fittness93]

Ankle is better, not 100% but swelling is down,doubling fish oil seems to have helped. 1 scoops of Juggernaut pre-workout really came through today, I got a decent leg workout even though I couldn't hit them with heavy weights:

20 x 3 chair lunges
30x3 one legged squats
30x3 calf raises
25x3x50 leg extensions
15 x 2 x 50 standing leg curls
50 deadlifts with just the bar
50 squats with just the bar
15 minutes abs
30 minutes on the bike

No macros this weekend, several family functions and work functions. Tiny portions of things I cannot identify, much less describe.
Back in complete control of diet tomorrow. Yay!

Tonight before bed, one scoop of Glutamine MTX

[jacobshuford]

^Glad your ankle is feeling better.........I love fish oil!
