I am a MASS MACHINE doing the "Challenge" and here's my journal!

( Later )....changed my mind, I am not upset. 9 pounds ...5 of which is probably water from the higher carb diet I have been eating. I already knew it. The point is, I have made some huge progress in many areas of my life this year. A few pounds is not going to trip me up.
I am a Mass Machine. My coach is a 6x National Champion. I will not act like a whiny wimpy girl. I just need to raise my standards.

Food Plan to follow

eating plan, rough draft. Now I see why I am hungry and reaching for the wrong stuff. My percentages are way off. Look at the calories and fat grams! Nowhere near enough. Where the hell is my head? (in anatomy) Tomorrow I have to figure out my basic maintenance calories and figure out the percentages from there. I will put it in Excel and redesign my food plan shooting for 1900 calories again.

pre and postworkout:

1sc MM25 Protein ................ 111 cal,o fat, 25 p, 2 carbs
1sc MM1000 Glutamine
1/2 cup strawberries ............ 25 cal, 0 fat, 13 carbs

Totals: 272 cal, 0 fat, 50 p, 4 carbs

3/4 c oatmeal .................... 109 cal, 2 fat, 5 p, 19 carbs
6 egg whites ...................... 102 cal, 20 p
2c spinach ......................... 28 cal, 4 p, 4 carbs
1c mushrooms ................. .. 15 cal, 2g p, 2g carbs

Totals: 254 cal, 2 fat, 31 p, 25 carbs

4oz canned chicken breast ... 120 cal, 2 fat, 26g p, 0 carbs
2 cups broccoli .................... 62 cal, 0 fat, 5g p, 12 carbs
1 Red Bell Pepper ............. 46 cal, 0 fat, 1g p, 9 carbs

totals: 212 cal, 2 fat, 32 p, 21 carbs

1 can tuna ......................... 180 cal, 1 fat, 13p
1 c spinach ........................ 14 cal, 2p, 2 carbs

Totals: 194, 1 fat, 13 p, 2 carbs


4 oz turkey breast .............. 120 cal, 28 p
3 c broccoli ........................ 93 cal, 0 fat, 9 protein, 18 carbs

Totals: 113 cal, 37p, 18 carbs,

4 oz chicken ...................... 120 cal,1 fat, 25 p,
giant salad ........................ need time to measure



1145 cal, 70 carbs, 150 p, 6 g fat... not good

Awareness MzJules.... awareness!...
that is the key

awareness of your daily diet

awareness of your weight by weighing weekly

this allows you to head things off sooner! rather than later and streamline your progress!

I know you are realizing this, cut if off in the future if you see your awareness slack off again
Rooting for you - you can do it!

[MzJules]

saving this from the other thread.

I suggest that you take these three steps to improve your mind-muscle connection:

1. Take about 15 seconds a FEEL the muscle you are targeting (in this case, your chest) before you even start the set. It would be like me telling you to "think of your right big toe".....you can almost feel it. can't you? That's what you need to do before every single set with the targeted muscle group.

2. During the set, you must make a deliberate effort to feel the target muscle working--and put less emphasis on just moving the weight from "Point A" to "Point B." You may or may not need to train a little lighter to make sure you accomplish this. ... emphasis mine

3. After every set, stop for about 15 seconds and really evaluate exactly where you feel the stimulation. Was it where you wanted? If it was, continuing doing what you are doing and make that a habit. If not, make adjustments.

Brother, I KNOW that this may sound tedious and overly analytical--but this process is extremely EFFECTIVE.

The good thing about this three-step process is that, after doing it for every set of every workout for every body part for about a month, it will become a HABIT that you won't have to think about so much about in the future.

That's a really good investment of time, energy, and focus when you realize the lifelong awesome training habits you are creating.

Chest

flat barbell BP..75lbs...3s/6 .. .... up 10lbs today .. sets were controlled and blasted on one .. having trouble targeting muscle .. working it out ...6
Incline BB BenchP..75lbs ...3s/6 .. better target .. and focus .. just felt right and a 7
Weighted Dips... cannot do this unassisted ... 105 counter weight/6[b/] ... lowered assist .. .. 7

Cardio ...10 min on bikel... 6 difficulty ... 67 cal

Working on meal plan still tonite. Planning it carefully so I have no excuse. Figuring out how I can feed myself a larger amount in the mornings when I work and have a meal I can easily eat on the way home in the car. this is the time of day I begin to slip and I believe it is because I have expended so much energy that my blood sugar is down and I am over hungry from not eating enough and so going for a carb rush. I have planned in a larger 2nd meal and a pretty hefty shake which I will put under my massage table if I am slammed. When I am done I will have a good meal ready to eat in the car and another shake when I get home until my metabolism is running properly again. It will take a few weeks for my body to believe I am not going into starve mode again. Considering using a meal replacement for a few weeks until I get rolling. The simpler the better with all I have going on ..... I will decide tomorrow.

Skip talked about tracking progress in different areas. Not just my food and working out but in my studies. Making money too! How many muscles did I learn this week? Do I understand their relationships and what they do? A goal for this next week will be to set up a charting system for this. .................. I realized that my goal for the year starting out was to earn an extra 6,000 dollars, I have done over half of that so far. Good thing, with all the gas and childcare, I need it right now!

Can I do another 30,000 or more next year?... Maybe ... Have to figure that out.

Thanks for the kind words MzJ

Might have to use that as a testimonial

[MzJules]

10/22/2012

Can apples make you fat? .... yes! if you eat too many of them ...with almonds ... and everything else you are eating..... just really examining what I have been eating the last 3 mos. ... I have been very focused on schooling and stepping into a new field of work. I lost my focus on my food plan. It was easy to think that eating extra apples and almonds or other "heathy" foods because I was not prepared, would not hurt. I was working out as well as I could but I really do see that the structured food plan is so key. ... What has Skip been saying for all these months? Diet is 85% of your BB success. ... MzJules

Loved this quote in ******** today! ...Thanks Skip!

""Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

felt very good in the gym today. Eating has been right on this week and I am feeling my body releasing water and revving up. This is fuel, this is a way of life. It's amazing to me. When I control my food everything else comes online too. I have to think about this more. ... I absolutely need tight structure when it comes to day to day activities. I was thinking this morning how because I have a day off today I could not figure out what to do first, except eating and working out, but I see I need a better plan each day. The structure creates the pressure I need to move! The pressure is my friend.

An answer Skip gave on the board to a nutrition question ... great answer

************
You shouldn't struggle with this issue--especially when you have a good grasp of the "big picture" when it comes to your eating habits and overall bodybuilding and training goals.

Ask yourself this question:

Will missing this meal hurt my muscle building/fat loss efforts--or will it throw me off mentally and emotionally?

Also, tell me what your ultimate goals are when it comes to your bodybuilding and training? Are you trying to be a top level competitive bodybuilder with a show in 8 weeks--or just trying to look great and be healthy? There's a big difference in how, myself, would approach this dilemma depending on the situation--but I'm not you--and that's very important to understand.

I struggle when answering this question because I am writing this answer for EVERYONE to read--but it really comes down to your personal and specific situation.

Much of all of this really depends on how your brain is programmed and what "success" means to you. Everyone is different--but everyone wants a "black and white" answer.

I can easily tell you to "Go ahead and eat 'junk' (even though I am not quite sure what that means to you) because one meal every once in awhile isn't going to make a difference."

For many people, that would be the "right" answer. But from my experience working with so many people for so many years, that kind of advice is an open invitation and a "blessing" for many people to lower their standards and, without realizing it, they are missing meals all the time and eating junk more often because they were told by someone they chose to listen to that "it doesn't matter."

It then also becomes pervasive in ALL areas of their bodybuilding and training efforts. Before they know it, cutting a workout short doesn't matter; skipping a cardio session doesn't matter; not going for that one more rep doesn't matter; an even missing a workout doesn't matter.

Some people would take that very same answer, keep it in the proper context, and do just fine with it.

Some people would even argue that all of those little tasks actually do not matter. And you know what? I can agree with them to a certain extent. Individually, many of those things do not matter--but collectively they most certainly do.

Do you get my point?

That's why I believe an effective coach sets OUTRAGEOUS STANDARDS for his students to aspire to. Those standards that they establish for their students should be at a level HIGHER than what they are currently doing. Not too high that they become overwhelmed, mind you. EVERYONE ON THIS PLANET can raise their current standards for everything they do!

You do NOT need a coach to make you feel better when you fall short of your own, self-imposed standards. That's what you have your mother for. That's what you have the people in your life who think you are doing great just doing what you are currently doing (even though YOU want more out of yourself). Explain your shortcomings to them.

Hell, just scour the internet. There is currently a growing trend of fitness internet gurus who will tell you that "it doesn't matter so don't worry about it." If that type of advice works for you and it keeps you on the right track--that's awesome. Just remember that is because that's how YOU have sorted all of the factors in your own mind to make them work. That perspective and that approach works for YOU and help you become your very best.

It does NOT work for everyone.

At the same time, I don't know too many people who could be dedicated enough to prepare meals weeks in advance. If that was the standard they were expected to live up to, 99.9% of them would fail.

With all of that being said......

Creatively find a way to eat what you have planned and when you have planned to eat. Live up to your own self-imposed standards as much as you can. When you fall short, you bounce back to "fight another day" just like you must do to be successful in ANY area of your life.

One more point:

Many people like to break down bodybuilding and training success down to "sets, reps, and an eating plan." They are determined to neatly cram all of this in a "box." When they fall short in their efforts, it is either because of genetic limitations or someone else is taking drugs. They don't re-evaluate their standards to determine if they are truly high enough for them to success at the level they really want--because they aren't looking inward. They are looking at the "sets, reps, and an eating plan."

Success in ALL areas of life ultimately comes down to who has the SUPERIOR MINDSET. With information so freely available, the "right" set of strategies to succeed in ANYTHING are already out there--but very few people actually succeed.

It obviously just doesn't come down to learning the best information.

GREAT QUESTION, rdcopps!

Train Hard. Think Big.

Rest week ... one week early but I need it. I will continue stretching and cardio to maintain the flexibility I need for work and keep my metabolism up. .... I have finally adjusted to putting the gym in a different position of focus for the last several months ...... lowering the weights and adding a much longer stretching routine has made a lot of difference in my performance. ..I am much more calm and focused when I workout.... I always look forward to using a new workout routine. I like the change. The soreness I feel the first week after taking off ...I absolutely love.

I will challenge myself with cardio. I enjoy the time to just focus on it. .. I can build up some steam and I love the way it makes me feel.

[b]I get a break from school for almost 2 mos. My goal is to nail this Anatomy to the wall, study muscle testing and practice palpation as much as I can.

Great coaching call this morning. I really am doing pretty good all in all. ... I am learning to track everything. It really does make a difference and it certainly makes everything more fun I'm finding.

Wow ...November already ...

I have begun to read my journal from the beginning. My assignment. ... I am having some interesting feelings about it. " smilin " Captured a few things I still like.

Fortune and success gravitate toward those whose minds have been prepared to "attract" them, just as surely as water gravitates to the ocean. I will take action everyday toward preparing myself mentally for success.

When we struggle and win, everyone around you is lifted up.

Got the call today... ...going to a meeting about working at the Healus Clinic next Monday. ... "Doing the dance, uhuh"

I am so loving the coaching ... if you can ... I highly recommend it. The deal Skip is offering is an absolute steal!

Having a good week working on clarity about what I want and integrating it all into one vision. I see that I was compartmentalizing.


Stretching ...20 min ...
Cardio .. 6/97/15 min ...bike

BB Bench Press ...65lbs..3s/6 ... warmups went well... I added 20lbs ... pushing through an achey upper back from working. Kept pulling myself back into what I was doing, my goals and the "mindset". ... just keep swimming .. you will arrive
Incline DB Bench ...15lbs ,,, 2s/6 ... This was new for me ...I liked this movement ... chest was engaged ...back feels better... I am encouraged
Incline BB Bench ... ,,,65lbs ... working up the intensity to target and execute ,,, felt my pecs fire ..very satisfying ...
Tricep Pushdown ... 120lbs/90lbs ...2s/6 ...back is feeling very challenged ...deep breaths, focus on target ... I can overcome this new challenge
Lying tricep Presses ...20lbs ...2/6 ... very light but I made the most of it ...

[b] My workouts feel so strange to me now. I have had to make so many adjustments in weight. I am very focused on stretching and staying flexible. I have pinpointed weakness's in my Psoas, glute Medius and my erector Spinae. It explains the problems I have been having lifting this whole time. I will work this out too eventually and regain the strength and balance I had once.

Overall workout ... 5 ..

What was Great About My Day?

**** Perfect eating ...5 meals .. 2 shakes ...
1. Made money
2. Got the call I have been waiting for !! Being briefed on working at Healus Clinic.
3. Getting some good results for people this week so far ... my work is progressing nicely ... muscle testing technique is getting more clear to me. Having a conversation with the body .. listening to it and understanding how to proceed..... AWESOME!!
4. feeling a little rebellious toward all the tracking .. ... accountability Jules ... do you really want to reach a higher level and become what you envision? ...Then you must do the Disciplines at a higher level this time. Execute them with more precision than before.
5. MUSCLE STUDY .... I am naming every muscle I touch while working ... the client's seem to like being educated on why they are in pain. I need to get really good at the muscle naming and their actions and relationships. I know I keep saying that ... it must become an obsession .

What Could I Have Done Better

1. better use of my time.

More Enjoyment

1. More results ... I think I will start with just 5 daily tasks ... my days do not always go as planned due to the people in my life. I feel like I need to get even more focused right now which always means cutting people off to a certain degree. I have thought about his a lot. ... I have decided I am going to simply explain to everyone what I am doing again. .....I am about to make another transition toward my ultimate financial and vocational goals. I will handle this with grace and poise and make my place in this new environment.

Tomorrow

1. Legs ..
2. work ... another opportunity to make some money while practicing what I have learned ..
3. Food ...eat every meal on time... watch for that emotional craving to set in. What can I replace it with? My vision. what I want to look like. The freedom and power I will feel will be so awesome. I remember it..... I wasn't always heavy ... it will bew so much more fun this time ....
5. 1 hour minimum muscle study ....

Awesome connections today ... felt much more engaged in the gym than I have for several weeks. No school for a couple months. I plan on using the time to step up my execution in the gym, no matter what the weight, and am trying to fit two cardio sessions a day in..... I have added a couple stretches and strengthening moves to my stretching routine to strengthen my back and medial glutes. Also a Psoas stretch and activator. Tracking this. ...
I have come to see all these physical challenges I am facing right now as teaching tools. In working out my own issues I add to my knowledge of how to approach others.......


How real to you are are the things you want? ... are they just wishes and hopes or do you live in it as though it is already yours? ... I am recapturing the drive for the prize I had just a few months ago and really thinking about why I am doing all of this again ....

Stretching ...20 min ...
