Here is a little basic information about me...
I am a freelance writer/ stay-at-home mother of two little ones and I got really into fitness, health and lifting after the birth of my first child. I was either skinny-fat, or a little chubby pretty much my entire life and after some advice from my DH, I decided to educate myself and learn how to get into shape. After a couple of years (and another child) I wanted to take my training to the next level. I found a trainer and started training for my first figure competition. Physically, it was a challenge to say the least, but mentally, it was brutal! I have competed in a few shows since then, my latest in an NPC show in June 2007. Since then I have been bulking, working hard and experimenting with different supps. I am now ready to challenge myself again and start a cut with this kick ass stack!

[Skyden]

Hi Everyone,

Wanted to detail my meals for the day...

Meal 1: Protein Pancakes (2 scoops of American Nutrition whey, 3 tbs of egg whites & 1 tbs of whole wheat pancake mix)
Meal 2: Post workout protien shake (Dynamatize)& a banana
Meal 3: Brown rice, tunafish & green beans
Meal 4: 2 brown rice cakes w/ natty pb & protein shake
Meal 5: Homemade turkey chili w/ brown rice

Stack:
DCP (1), LX (1) 7:30am
Scorch (1) 8:15am

DCP (1), LX (1) noon

Overall:
I felt good today. Hardcore workout, already feelin DOMS in the glutes. I am going to add another LX at the 6pm dose tomorrow and maybe another Scorch at noon, depending on how I am feeling. I was still pretty hyped today so I did not want to overdo it.

Asianbabe- Sorry, I didn't get what you were talking about! Duh!

I would have liked to have done more but this was the best I could get in today!

Meal 2: post workout Protein shake
Meal 3: 2 rice cakes w/ natty pb
Meal 4: Egg whites & protein shake
Meal 5: Salad, chicken breast & pepper medley
Meal 6: not eaten yet probably protein shake, maybe fruit

I did not get to eat as much as I would have liked today- grocery day so I was out of everything!

Mood: I felt kinda grumpy today. I got irritated easily- maybe cause I was hungry! Enery was pretty good- I could have spent a lot longer in the gym if I had the time. I plan on hitting it earlier tomorrow so I can do a little extra cardio. I won't do extra legs tomorrow as I still have some DOMS from Tuesday. Tomorrow is my FAVORITE- shoulders- and cardio.

Will be posting before pics soon- just gotta download.

Hope everyone is doing awesome!

Nice Setup Skyden!

What are you looking to accomplish over the course of the log?

I know - a "cut" but more specific goals like: decrease 5% bodyfat, etc...



Will continue to follow...

Eating has been erratic today- I picked on little things, but never really ate a lot- I did have cookie dough, though...

Mood: I felt weird today. I had a good workout but again, easily irritated. Didn't help that the dog knocked over my salad then ate it and the little' uns are going apesh&t cause it's almost Christmas. Oh yeah, the cookie was a nice moment of weakness! Good news is got the before pics up. Oh and even if it sounds strange, I "feel" the stack working its magic.


Thanks to all that are watching. Yes, it does sound creepy but it makes me feel looooved!


Dino: I am hoping to just tighten up, drop my BF% into the teens and basically have more of an "athletic look."



Catch y'all on the flip side!

Mood: I felt good today. Good workout, good energy. After a great workout, baked cookies all day, then steam-cleaned the carpets, so lots of energy to burn.


Question-- I know sometimes when fat is being burned that supposedly "dimples" come out on back of thighs-- is this really true?? If so I hope it goes away soon b.c I can't have it!!

[ab-swing asianbabe]

Hey skyden, looking good in the pics!
What is farina??

[Skyden]

A warm breakfast cereal- I can't stand oatmeal so it is a good substitute. I cook it with water, cinnamon & raisins (for fiber).

[Skyden]

Day 5: December 22, 2007

Workout: Cardio, Stadiums
Lunges, squats, sprints and other means of physical torture. Work dem legs!!


Meal 1: Protein pancakes
Meal 2: Protein shake
Meal 3: Tunafish & brown rice
Meal 4: Banana & natty pb
Meal 5: protein shake
Meal 6: Cheat meal


Mood: LOVE STADIUMS!!! Great workout! Felt good today- might up the dosage of LX tomorrow. Did a whole bunch of Christmas sh&t today and a bunch of yard work- lucky husband...

Sooooo, Day 5, fellas-- Does anyone have any suggestions/ advice?

[ab-swing asianbabe]

How have you been dosing it? And any initial thoughts about how the supps are affecting you? e.g. Mood/energy/strength/hunger..?

[Skyden]

Dosing has been pretty consistant...

DCP- 30 minutes before first morning meal (2)
30 minutes before mid day meal (2)
30 minutes before evening meal (2)

LX- same as DCP (1) going to move this up to 2 soon
same as DCP (1)
30 minutes before bed (1)

Scorch- During first meal of the morning (1)

I have felt pretty consistant energy throughout the stack so far. Sometimes, not sure why, I feel more hyped up than other times. Maybe depending on what remains in my stomach? I am able to accomplish a ton during the day, but I can get irritable easily. Also, I have not had any trouble sleeping, both during a midday nap here and there, and during the night.

My hunger has been the same, no decreasing or increasing. I have craved healthier foods lately, mostly salads, though. (Granted the holiday foods hanging around all look damn yummy!) Libido has been okay, nothing special.

Mostly I am hyped to get into the gym. I am always ready workout but I am especially hyped these days. Strength is the same but the excitement to lift is just off the charts. Today as my off day and I feel like I have been out of the gym FOREVER!! Thank God tomorrow is a lifting day!!!

[Skyden]

Day 6: December 24, 2007
I did not log meals last night b/c I was at a party so here they are for Day 6

Meal 1: Egg whites & farina
Meal 2: protein shake
Meal 3: protein pancakes
Meal 4: Isopure (low carb)
Meal 5 & 6: Party foods- shrimp cocktail, chili, goodies

No workout- day off


Day 7: December 24, 2007

Okay so this holiday thing is making it TOUGH to keep routine & meals in check!! I'm trying the best I can!!

Workout: Bis, Tris & Cardio
w/u 20lbs bar curls 2x10
Curls 8@30lbsx4
incline curls 10@12lbsx4
Straight bar curls on cables 8x20lbsx3, 8x20 drop 5x15
Pressdowns 8@35lbs, 6@40lbs (PR!!!!), 8x35, 10x30
Reverse Pressdowns 10x30lbsx3, 8x30 drop 5x25
Dips 4x15

Cardio: 15 minutes of intervals on stair stepping machine
12 minutes of treadmill

Totally psyched about the PR for pressdowns!! YAY!! I added in tris today b.c I felt like lifting more after bis were done. Felt GREAT to be in the gym today, especially since I have to miss it tomorrow!


Meal 1: Egg whites & farina
Meal 2: protein shake post workout
Meal 3: Tunafsh & brown rice
Meal 4-6: Not eaten yet but hopefully will be somewhat clean!

Stack:
DCP- 2 30 minutes before breakfast
2 30 minutes before lunch
2 30 minutes before dinner

LX- 1 same as DCP
1 same as DCP
1 before bed (30 minutes)

Scorch- 1 with breakfast
1 around 2:45pm



So I am feeling pretty good with the supps-- I upped the LX and Scorch as you can see above. I have a stupid cold so that is buggin' but otherwise I am good. I like the added energy of the stack but sometimes I do feel a little cloudy-headed.

[bigT(tK)]

Congrats on the PR.. Good Luck with keepin the diet clean over the holiday.

Feel free to acutely up the dosage of DCP if you predict an occasion that diet is going to be compromised. DCP will help prevent fat gain from any slips.
