Oh snap....Meg-O's training for a Figure comp....

[bosgirlin09]

I wouldn't doubt that you have gained size. I feel these working muscles I haven't felt in years with doing just back squats. When I first started lifting in high school we always did front squats. Wasn't certain why that was, but eventually they taught us back squats and there was no turning back once we realized we could lift more weights with back over front.

Feels good to mix it up a bit. I hate not being sore days after a workout, I do actually enjoy feeling like death run over at least once every few weeks, and that's definitely this week. Now just hoping I'll be able to run this 10k tomorrow and be able to shimmy in and out of my wetsuit for the lake swim.

I've wondered if I like the front squats better b/c of my body shape/size. My legs are waaaay longer than my top...I'm 5'9.5 and 42.5 inches from floor to mt hip bones...seems like a bad top to bottom ratio for squats

[rutzilla]

Want to give me that time line again for your triathalon plz. Once that training is done the volume for lifting will go up a bit

[rutzilla]

I'd like your weight to be about 136 by the triathalon. I'm thinking you'll be about in the low 120s for the show.

[megdaig]

Promise I haven't been slacking, I've got a lot of updating to do but honestly I'm wiped right now and about to take a nap if I can make it through this turkey sammich without falling asleep.

Want to give me that time line again for your triathalon plz. Once that training is done the volume for lifting will go up a bit

April 1st is the race.

So approximately one more month, plus about a week...of this.....

Mondays: No 70.3 training, weights during lunch or after work
Tuesdays: Swim, run, weights (and softball )
Wednesdays: Bike/run, weights (and flag football )
Thursdays: Swim, run, weights
Fridays: Make-up for any missed workouts, weights (and more softball)
Saturdays: Long run, swim
Sunday: Long bike, run

I'd like your weight to be about 136 by the triathalon. I'm thinking you'll be about in the low 120s for the show.

I'd estimate that I'm hanging around between 21 and 23%. If I use an LBM of 111 I'm at 23%, which I think is more believable. But I will say the friggin' scale isn't moving much but EVERYTHING is fitting looser. Well almost everything, just the expensive stuff like jeans and running and workout gear. I'm unfortunate to have a legit reason to buy new running and workout clothes and my wallet does not agree.

Also using 111 LBM I'd estimate around 124 to 125 showtime if I can actually when I get down to 10%.

To get to 136 by the race, that's a little under 2 pounds a week so I think I need to adjust calories down a bit and start targeting 1400 to 1500.

[bosgirlin09]

I'd like your weight to be about 136 by the triathalon. I'm thinking you'll be about in the low 120s for the show.

Wow...we're almost the same height. Low 120s seems crazy. I was 135 on stage ....

[megdaig]

Wow...we're almost the same height. Low 120s seems crazy. I was 135 on stage ....

I know..that's why I keep second guessing myself. I don't want to look like all I did was diet down. I don't think that will be the case, but I do think a couple of rounds of bulking would do me well after I drop these last few pounds of fat.

[megdaig]

Alright, as promised, I will catch up with the remainder of the week's shenanigans...*warning: this will be long and wordy*

70.3 TRAINING

Saturday:
Run: Rodeo Run 10k. PR'd with a total time of 56:08 for a 9:00 min/mi pace.

I should've gone out faster but it did take me until 3.8 miles to finally loosen up in the legs.

Annnnnd...I got an awesome compliment! Some dude ran me down in the after party area and asked if I worked out a lot. I don't know why but I always blush and i definitely consider this a compliment. Anyhow, he said he was stuck behind me the whole race and didn't feel so bad about not being able to catch me at the sprint to the finish because I had awesome shoulders *double blush*

Swim: 1000m open water lake swim.

Brrrr it was cold. So I've always kind of freaked myself out in open water swims and this is by far my biggest concern for potential to take me out of the race. Since it was in the low to mid 50s it was wetsuit weather, as will be the race. We get to swimming and I immediately think to myself "Boy I'm so tired from that race this morning. My shoulders are tired and this suit isn't helping...yada yada yada". So I stopped and just floated there for a second, rolled on to my back, just got a feel for how the suit keeps me afloat. THIS was a huge boost mentally. Knowing that I do not have to expend any energy to stay afloat will help rid a bulk of the jitters I always get. I go on to finish the swim, getting better at sighting as I go along, and freak out only when my hands hit a patch of grass or when a turtle gets spooked and scurries off...

The swim was a little less than half the distance I will need to cover for the race, but now knowing how much my suit helps me out, I know I will definitely finish the swim. The water will be much choppier during the race since it's down in Galveston Bay, but at least I can assure myself that the suit will float me and just focus on not swallowing salt water.


Sunday:

Bike: 47.8 miles, 3:08:00. Overall average of 15.3 mph.

This was the first road ride on the new tri bike and OMG what a difference over a crappy road bike. So much easier to reach higher cruising speeds and maintaining a cadence of 85 rpm. There were a few 10 mile stretches at the beginning and end of the course that had a fairly decent head wind that slowed us down to less than 15 mph. In order to make the bike cut-off I'll have to average right at 15 mph so should be good there.

DIET

Lots of BBQ this weekend. Don't worry, I stuck to chicken and baked beans, and had a tiny helping of cole slaw, but no tater salad.

So Wednesday, I had an unplanned lunch out with my boss since I had meetings surrounding lunch that wouldn't permit me to hit the gym My boss is a little finicky of an eater, and a decision was made, in my absence, to eat at........Pizza Hut.......WTF?!?! I did have some pizza since I knew I'd need some more carbs for the weekend's workouts, and I had a salad.

Here's a breakdown of the week's daily averages...

Weekly Average: 1655cals 52f / 181c / 109p


I can definitely attribute the over calories to the Wednesday unplanned lunch and the low protein to some dinners that aren't my typical diet type dinners. I had steamed mussels on my "date night" and some friends came over on Thursday and we cooked pork loin (not terrible) and roasted sweet taters, soooo yummy!

What I am finding is that since I'm attempting to restrict my calories to 1600 or less that I'm not using protein shakes after workouts. This is where I think I'm beginning to have issues hitting my protein targets. I'll probably have to start making my morning PB sammich a foldover and take a 1/2 scoop of casein to help bump up the protein content....sacrifices......

[swooshie]

Wow Meg! Your training is impressive to say the least! I've enjoyed reading your work leading up to your Tri. Plus your work in the gym is awesome! I love to see someone so focused on their goals, and achieving them spectacularly

[rutzilla]

Shake... yes, drop that post workout shake and try to get a mealin about an hour after. The fllood of insulin is killing off alot of fat burning effect you get from the workout, stick with the BCAAs during and after workout. Want you said about breakfast is good.
Take today off of lifting, got to let the front delts recover before hitting chest.
When you do hit chest:
warmup with internal/external rotations for cuffs.
incline BB bench 10 x 10
dips 3sets max reps
pec deck machine press supersets 3sets 8reps each.
triceps..
overhead DB ext 4sets 12reps
reverse grip single cable pushdown 2sets 10reps

[rutzilla]

Open water is scarey, I've swam in lakes all my life but when we were dive training during USMC, in the ocean i was freaked out alittle, kept expecting a great white to come at me. Plus later, they had us do it in the dark with just a compass, and not surface at all.

HYDRATION + LIQUIDS

Okay, I think I’m falling off on how much water I am taking in since I’ve started drinking a lot of green tea throughout the day, so I need to start tracking again.

~4 – 8oz. cups of green tea
69oz. water -- get your minds out the gutter, my stainless steel water bottle is 23 fl.oz. and I drank 3 of them yesterday.

EXTRACURRICULARS

SOFTBALL ! ! !

And it actually felt really good, other than my not focusing on the fielding part and missing routine plays, grrrr.

I was skeptical about my ability to hit anymore since it is my power and pivot knee that got wrecked but it feels fine “mashing the bug”. And I can still smash the beejezus out of the ball. Not certain if it has anything to do with being back in the gym and just being stronger overall, over 15 pounds lighter, and hopefully stronger and faster hip speed, but I can get my hands through the zone quick even with my 27.5 oz. bat. I think I’ll be back to jacking them out the park again in no time.

And surprisingly, I can still get around those bases fairly quickly. Not as fast or aggressive as I used to be, but that’s probably more to do with comfort level rather than ability. Getting up to speed isn’t tough, it’s hitting the brakes that is sketchy.


OTHER RAMBLINGS

Got a touch of road rage this morning, but I feel was totally justified because I’ve never, ever have called someone the *C* bomb but this witch totally deserved it. There were more choice words in the mix but I’ll spare you folks. So needless to say I’d rather be at the gym working out all that stress, but rather I’m stuck here at this damned desk. I expect a good workout here in a few hours.

Oh…and on a brighter note. The scale doesn’t seem to be budging but I’m feeling and seeing some more definition in places I never have, specifically in the abs right above my navel….ala photo proof….



It’s still not spectacular but I do believe I am still making progress though the scale doesn’t show it. But that doesn't say that I'm making progress as fast as I should be...extra focus on the diet this week.

Yeah, it's all diet. At the very end, when you're super lean, I think the cardio helps...lots of boring walking....but it works.

And I was too scared to start the keto at 16 weeks so I started yesterday...time to get shredded

WEIGHT

2/28 145.8
2/29 144.4 <-- ‘Relative’ New Low!!

Had a woosh on the scale this morning. Feeling nice and lean, and I think this is the leanest I’ve ever been in my life, at least that’s how it feels.


70.3 TRAINING

Track Workout: 6x400m sprints w/ 400m rest b/w sets
Warm-up: ~1 mile @ 10:02/mi
6x400m @ 1:35, 1:34, 1:33, 1:32, 1:30, 1:27 minutes
Cool Down: ~1 mile @ 10:08/mi

After all was said and done, 3.6 miles @ 8:11/mi pace. That’s unheard of for me. In high school my 1 mile was around between 7:37 and 8:12 so being able to maintain this pace for nearly 4 miles feels good. Oh, and my coaches told me my 16:16 2 mile time trial was crap. WTF? That’s the fastest I could run 2 miles at that point in time


LIFTING

Internal/External Rotator Cuff w/u
2x10 @ 15s

Incline BB Bench
10x10 @ 65
Not sure if I’m imagining that I’m still this weak on these, but about the 8th or 9th set I had to roll the bar off my chest on the last rep, but the set 10 felt easy. Maybe it was a mental thing, knowing it was the last set, whatever. I’ll eventually go up in weight.

BW Dips
3 sets max reps: 4.5, 3.5, 3

DB Overhead Tricep Press
12 @ 30
8 @ 30 then 4 @ 27.5
8 @ 27.5 then 4 @ 25
12 @ 25
Not sure if my triceps were shot from dips or what, but for some reason I’d get stuck on the negative at rep 8, but it didn’t feel like my tris were doing any of the work, more like my forearms were giving out…hmmm.

Pec Deck SS w/ Machine Chest Press
8 @ 50 pec, 8 @ 70 press
6 @ 50 then 2 @ 40 pec, 8 @ 70 press

More softball! Played with my old work team which plays in a ‘D’ league which is much less competitive than I’m used to, but fun none-the-less. Got to play some 3rd base and sucked up every line drive like a Hoover. Knee felt great though it is so extremely swollen that my brace almost doesn’t fit. Iced for about 20 minutes before going to bed and took an “anti-inflammatory”

[-H-]

Nice!!! Looking good, ab definition!!
So much training! When is the tri? You are doing so well keeping up with everything.
I wanna run some shorter races this year so starting to add some miles in here and there.

LIFTING

Front Squats
3x10 @ 115
8 @ 135 then 2 @ 115 <---OMG I'll tell you all about it.
6x10 @ 115

So 115 front squats is WAY too easy, so I bumped up to 135. I'm not sure if I just went down in the negative too quickly but on the 8th rep my knee, crumpled? (about the best way to explain it) The back of my knee, on the inside so I supposed the ACL/PCL area, popped about 3 or 4 times and about put my on my arse, I managed to catch myself before hitting rock bottom. Technically it did because after re-racking the weight I sat down to figure out what the hell I just did. Knee felt really awkward and I almost considered aborting, but after reducing back to 115 and doing a couple of reps I felt comfortable enough to keep going. I'm hoping this is just because my knee is all tweaky from beginning to play sports again.

Just 1 game of flag football. Was going to take the night off to rest the knee, but the fields were on the way home from spin/brick class You see, if I wasn't there I wouldn't have won the game winning TD, 60 yard pass and burned the defense. Don't underestimate the [small?] chick with the knee brace!

[stackums]

awesome incline presses!! 10x10x65!! how long do you rest between sets?

[rutzilla]

patellar tendon?? was that also injuried? I believe your correct about your knee, it's tired from all the sports, because it's not used to being worked that why, you've been out of sports for a while get now busting butt.

awesome incline presses!! 10x10x65!! how long do you rest between sets?

I usually shoot for a minute to 1.5 of rest. Although, lately it seems that these rest periods are starting to get a little bit longer. Time to step my game back up.

patellar tendon?? was that also injuried? I believe your correct about your knee, it's tired from all the sports, because it's not used to being worked that why, you've been out of sports for a while get now busting butt.

I had an allograft using the middle third of my patellar tendon. They cut out a section of your patella, middle third of the tendon, and a section of the tibia to create a bone-tendon-bone for the graft. Once they take the graft they sew the two halves of the patellar tendon back together. This is why it becomes so weak after the repair. Assuming tendon strength is linear, this would mean that my tendon is/was only capable of resisting 2/3rds of the normal forces imposed on the tendon. So lots of time trying to recoup all that strength with the remaining 2/3rds.

Well, I do suppose it is easier to dig deep and find the energy to do the things you enjoy rather than the things that you need to do . I have little free time right now and it shows by how neglected my yard and landscaping looks. Hoping to make time after Sunday's long ride to mow, pull weeds, and plant something to make my yard look half way decent.

I dont feel tired on 1600 cals, but I do suppose this won't be the case in a month or two.

Going to try out a new “butter” to help with the chaffing, the only downfall about this sport. Talk about kill your sex life for a few days after a long ride.

Next weekend’s bike ride will be down in Galveston and is the race course. This will be awesome practice because I know the crosswinds on race day are going to be killer.

*So I feel bad about two really high cal days in a row, the water weight is showing on the scale, but still looking lean.
*The ex thinks I look perfect now (haha…sorry, you gave this up) and can’t believe that I want to get even leaner and can’t understand why I want to look all jacked. Who wouldn’t want to look jacked?
*I’m a little pissed by some recent developments so the fire is burning deep and I’m about to start whooping some arse all over the place (in the gym primarily of course).
*The ex is submitting an app for a rental, if accepted he’ll be out my house by April 1st. Please, please, please let him get this place
*Had a blast at the Rodeo. My newest “eye candy” works for HPD so I got to see that sexy butt in uniform for a bit on Saturday at the show
*Although Saturday was chockablock full I still manage some time to hang out with friends. The weather was gorgeous all day so it was really nice to be outside for essentially 12 straight hours.
*I’m beat…wanted to sleep for a few more hours this morning.
***NEED TO GET BETTER AT DOING ALL OF MY TRI WORKOUTS***

Who wouldn’t want to look jacked?

Totally.
