Forum: Journaling

After three years of perpetual injury and multiple doctors telling me that while I may be fast, I'm not built to run, I have decided: Fukk running, I'm getting strong. My body's been through a lot, so I'm putting together my own program based on feel, training in all rep ranges and smetimes...

...on the platform. Always loved weightlifting and strongman stuff, never thought I would ever do it myself! Decided to keep a journal of my aspiring powerlifting training cos then I can go on to myself about it when I rock or suck, and not bore my friends/family. 2 weeks ago I switched to 3 day...

First off hello to anyone who may read this. Decided to up and make a new log here today. Previous log in sig. Needed a fresh start/reset to get my mental game back which lost somewhere a few weeks back. A little bit about my history, abridged version. Summer of 2009 got sick and tired with...

I'm not known around here or anything but think it's a good time for me to start a journal thread. While my username sounds a little like I'm trying to go from fiction to fitness, it's actually because I write fiction and take part in fitness activities. I have a blog called Fiction & Fitness but...

So.. this is where I've decided to figuratively pop-a-squat for my next journal/log. I've been kind of all over the place without one - dieting and workouts have been sporadic at best. So... this is necessary for now. I'm still dealing with the knee issues and food intolerances. My workout...

Here’s my mini bio, at 21 my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and if I didn’t lose some weight, I’d become diabetic within a few years. I started counting calories, lifting weight, all that good jazz and got from 245 > 185. I went to law school, kept lifting and trying to eat right, but well...

People close to me would describe me as confident, motivated & driven. But, they'd probably be talking about my career or my art. If you asked about my appearance, those close to me would have complimentary things to say. Personally, I'd probably describe myself as a skinny fat person. Like I...

I'm finally starting a journal on here, I've been meaning to for a while now. Female, 37, 5'4'', 128lbs, 32% bf Current situation: On week 10 of Strong Curves (Bootyful Beginnings) and I am totally loving it. I love getting stronger in the gym each week. This is my first structured...

Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking a bit lately and decided now is as good a time as any to jump back in. Here’s a catch-up on where I am 12 week’s post rotator cuff & bicep tendon repair surgery: - I’m still seeing my PT (who is an awesome guy named Andy) twice a week, and doing stretching &...

Currently on third training cycle for the year, maxing out in 7 weeks. Getting to the gym to get my training in, is not too difficult; I need to stay on top of supplements (just the basics: multi, fish oil, creatine, aminos) and eating enough calories. Goals are to put on weight and beat...

And then I realized wow there are A LOT of heavy things out there, and at some point I'd have to start putting them down again anyway because no way could I hold all that crap forever. I admit that my original plan was oversimplified. And I've been overcomplicating everything since then to make...

Well.. it's been a while . Had a log going here a little over a year ago, life went haywire, and I quit the interwebs for a bit. Since things have calmed down and I actually have something resembling free time for the mo' I figured I'd start a new log for the cut I randomly decided needed to...

Feel like I should have started working this hard when I was 20 but I guess Ill have to settle for 40. 40 is the new 20 right? For years at 5'1" I was always around 105. Hit 30, seems like I gained 2 pounds around every year, had a heart surgery that threw me off, and a shoulder surgery and part...
