Strength in numbers..Kim's journal

[rutzilla]

For that reffedf I think you would be more comfortable with getting in about 150g the first few days, that way you won't blow back up. I would start with home fries in the morning then rice and oatmeal for the rest of the day throw some fruit in the oatmeal.

2/2: Arms and 2 days left of ketomania

Dropped to 153 today. That's down about 18 lbs...so, yes, for anyone doing the math I was heavy. But I took my first weigh in on a day I had super bad edema so not really a good indicatior of fat loss...kind of a bogus starting number. I can see my obliques now. Also seeing lots of cuts in my back and arms, and some quad definition.

Wow, that's dropping quite a bit of weight fast! Today and Fri, then done with the keto... Bos can do it! Go kick some ass with your sweet, jacked definition.

2/3: Rest Day and last day of ketorificness..

I'll weigh in and take pics in the morning. Then Im off to the gym to train with the boy, and after that Im going for BREAKFAST!!! And yes, it will include carbs

I'll also write my thoughts about this diet, but overall I give it an "A". Really manageable and great results. I'm planning on recommending it to a couple of clients.

YAY pics.
Cool that it went so well for you. I don't know if I could do it!!
Have a great breakfast!!

[LiverpoolLass]

Enjoy your breakfast and the company ;-)

Many many grams of carbs would you say you were having per day? Would you use this diet again to manage post comp water retention if it happens again?

[rutzilla]

Hope the carb up is going well, bet you feel pretty good today.

2/4

@Liverpoollass: I'd definitely consider this diet for contest prep, if I were not leaning out properly. Post contest I think I just have to have a more controlled food/carb increase, and be aware of my sodium levels and water intake.

@ Zilla: I feel good. Busy day so no time to go crazy, lol. Just had protein in the morning and made it to breakfast around noon. Had 2 slices of turkey bacon, half a bowl of oatmeal (maybe 1/2 cup cooked), and some fried potatoes. Then I didn't eat again until just now. Had 3 small pieces of cheese pizza with the kids. Im guessing thats between 1400-1600 cals. Told the kids Id take them for frozen yogurt and Ill get a small one of the fat free/sugar free and call it a day.

Did train today. Kind of a random w/out of kb swings, split squats, dips, rows on the hammer strength, and calf raises.

Rest day tomorrow. The boy invited me to a Superbowl party, but then he decided he'd rather skip it and hang at his place and make me dinner. So I'll make dessert and save some cals for a little cheat tomorrow night.

[rutzilla]

Good plan, see ow the water goes, the pizza will jack that up some but don't worry. Now this week get as healthy as possible, almonds, sweet potatoes, salmon. I would then keep carbs at about 150g

[bosgirlin09]

2/6:

Feeling a little under the weather today so rest day for me. On the Lyle diet my training was kind of random, so back to business tomorrow. Per Zilla keeping cals at 1400 until Friday then making a little jump to around 2000 which will seem like a veritable feast, lol. I think the plan is to lose a few more lbs., hold that for a while, then do another stint on the Lyle diet about 14 weeks out and then finish off with a reg contest diet.

18 weeks out and 18 lbs to lose. Blerg.

Ditto on the 18 pounds to lose, maybe even 20 for me. Totally got called out by Zilla last night. Haha. Time to do this shiznit!

Hope you shake that little bug quick.

2/7: Legs

Not a great lifting day. They were maintaining the equipment and everything was out of service or moved around, and these 3 crazy russian dudes were monopolizing the squat rack and leg press. They were oblivious to my bertstares as they did their partial squats and leg presses...

Walking Lunges: 3 x 2 lengths of gym w/ 30, 40, 50 lb bb
Front Squats: 2 x 10 @ 95lbs, 2 x 10 @ 115 lbs
Single Leg Press: 3 x 10 @ 1pps
Ham Curl: 3 x 12 @ 90, 100, 110lbs

waited 10 min for some dude who was about 100 years old and just sitting on the leg x tension...he never moved. Felt weak on squats and leg press, but I guess Ive been eating waaaay below maintenance for a few weeks, so it's to be expected. No worries...in another week or so I get to add some cals.

[rutzilla]

Yeah, 2 older guys were on the smith machine for like 45min doing their 100lb benches and talking, I like them but it was getting very annoying. Russians are usually crazy.

[bosgirlin09]

2/8: Back

Bent Over DB Rows:
10 @ 70
6 @ 80
6 (?) @ 90
5(?) @ 100lbs

WG Lat PD ss w/ straight arm pd:
WG: 3 x 12 @ 70, 80, 90 lbs
SA: 3 x 15 @ 30lbs

CGPD:
3 x 12 @ 70, 80, 90 lbs

Decline abs w/ ball toss (w/the boy)
2 x 20 reps


The boy got the rows on vid, so I'll post it as soon as he sends it to me. I'm sure the form on the 90 and 100 was crap, but I moved them and now I'll work on form. Mental hurdle = overcome.

On my was home I was in a major car wreck. Just cruising along in the far right lane of a 4 lane hwy, when some dumbazz crosses all the way from the left to make his exit, hits me...my car spins 360 a few times and goes into the opposing traffic and finally hits the cement guardrail...totalled. Besides being a bit freaked out...I have a headache, backache and can't hear well out of my right ear....blerg. Hoping my massive traps have saved me from major whiplash...but we shall see. I'll go to the doc in the morning.

@ Zilla...yes, I will be exceeding my macros a little bit to have a glass of wine. Maybe 2.

[pharty]

HOLY SHYTBALLS, BOZ!!!! You need more than 2 glasses of wine...fuuuuuuuuuu! Glad you are OK but you know sometimes those things take some time to pop up so don't go too crazy, OK?

[bosgirlin09]

Yeah, I'm more freaked out then I let on. 2 thoughts went through my head as I spun into opposing traffic: (1) Thank God my kids aren't in the car. (2) That dumbass is going to leave my kids motherless...

[nvrstopworking]

Whoa..... glad you're OK Kimbos.

Make sure that you're 100% before you get back in the gym and start throwing around the iron.

Whoaa!! Thank god your ok. Do you have anything for the backache, because you'll probably really feel it in the morning.

[megdaig]

Terrifying! So glad you're ok, so far, I suppose you aren't out of the clear just yet. I can't imagine the thought of losing control of my vehicle like that, that's scary in and of itself. Did the dumbazz at least stop after hitting you?

[squeaks77]

Omg, that's freakin' scary! So glad you're okay. You'll probably be shook up for awhile. I've been in a bad car wreck and it's hard to get over the fear.

[-H-]

So scary, I can't imagine. I am so glad you are ok. You definitely deserve the wine. Hope you can relax and feel ok tonight.

[bosgirlin09]

Thanks guys

But....ummmm...how bout some props for the rows?

[megdaig]

Thanks guys

But....ummmm...how bout some props for the rows?

Oh yeah, more importantly....go on with yo bad self on those hundies....I guess y'alls challenge didn't specify that form had to be good, just had to have a vid

[swooshie]

OMG! I'm so glad you're ok, Kim

Did you have that freaky slow motion feeling when you were spinning? My car was totalled by a car that ran a stop sign and it felt like I was spinning soooo slowly. Good chance you'll feel really sore tomorrow. Take it easy!

[-H-]

Thanks guys

But....ummmm...how bout some props for the rows?

LOL! Guess you're ok.
Rows=awesome. Ketomania doesn't appear to be affecting your strength!

Oh wow, that's scary! Good to hear you weren't seriously injured. At the very least demand some happy pain meds/muscle relaxers to compliment your wine, lol. j/k

Bent Over DB Rows:
10 @ 70
6 @ 80
6 (?) @ 90
5(?) @ 100lbs

And yeah, we are officially declaring Bos "Queen of DB Rows." Good job, that's pro-level strong right there!

[LiverpoolLass]

Hi

I hope you are feeling ok today, and not suffering from any delayed reaction or injury. You are quite an amazing woman, you have a serious accident but still remember to post your training for the day!!! I would be a jibbering wreck !
