I am crawling back to the bodybuilding.com forums...
I realize that I was doing much better at keeping an eye on my workouts when I was logging on here every day. And in an effort to waste a little less time on myspace, and spend a little more time investing on this potentially kick ass body thats currently hiding under a little layer of comfort food waste, I am starting a new journal.
So, today is Nov 8, 2007 and I am going to start back journaling.
Don't get me wrong, I have still been working out, pretty much anyway. I was focused on marathoning, but not the weights, so I lost a little strength. The past month I have been back at the gym with a vengeance though, and now I am ready.
This workout plan is called the "my body doesn't know any better" for reason. I am done trying to cramp a split into a week, and I want to do something a little different. I want to do a little rotation that involves a 9 day split instead. So I will try that for 6 weeks, see how my body reacts and make adjustments from that.
So my next entry will be more stats and basic stuff, including my nutrition plan. Maybe a photo or 2
Till then folks

Damned Tape... Damned Scale
So I knew I hadnt made any progress, but it seems like my waist has gradually increased over the past 5 months or so. The scale has only fluctuated back on forth over a span of 7 lbs or so, although lately it hasnt seemed to move back nearly as much. I guess the tape has confirmed the reality that the scale was hinting at.
SO, I am not posting the stats, lol... just kidding, if you want to know how embarrasing they are, go to my profile, its all there on body space. I posted them yesterday.
Speaking of yesterday. I had two lovely workouts yesterday. My early morning workout was a back/ abs/ cardio workout. The evening workout was my infamous "Cardio Blast".
The cardio blast is 8 HIIT minutes on the treadmill, followed by 3 sets of 3 types of weighted ab exercises. Then 8 HIIT minutes on the elliptical followed by 3 more sets of 3 more types of weighted ab exercises. Then 8 HIIT minutes of spinning, followed by 3 sets of 3 types of non-weighted abs.
All topped of with a lovely dose of 8 minutes on the stepmill.
This morning I ran 3 miles outdoors (hills).
I am contemplating an arms blazing tonight before the evening gets in... but since my legs are killing me from wednesday still, I may just rest
Let me take a nap and I will see how I feel...---

I have come to terms with the fact that I am bad at keeping a journal. The last entry was in NOVEMBER!!
Now, I have been working out almost daily since then (there was that pause the week of thanksgiving) but I just havent been logging. I kept a keto log while I attempted the keto diet, but at the end of the day I realized that I love carbs and no diet that doesnt allow me to have some is not a diet for me. I dont care if its slow digesting carb, I just need to have it!!!
Anyway, my point is I am going to try this again. I am not starting a new thread, just blowing some life back into this one.
I am currently on a 10 day split still, with 7 weight days, with cardio. 2 days of cardio only. one day of rest.
My days have been as follows:
Day 1: Arms (bicep focus), Cardio
Day 2: Legs (quad focus)
Day 3: Chest, Cardio
Day 4: Back, Cardio
Day 5: Cardio
Day 6: Arms (tricep focus)
Day 7: Legs (Ham focus), Cardio
Day 8: Shoulders, Cardio
Day 9: Cardio (+abs)
Day 10: Rest
The rest day I may move around depending on my mood, my feeling etc.
Today begins the 7th cycle of this training split. I have made little alterations here and there from 70 days ago, and occasionally, I can finish this cycle in as few as 7 days, by hitting the weights twice a day some days.
I am trying this week for 7 days, including a rest day.
Some of the positive things I have noticed:
my bench has increased from 95 to 115 (for reps)
I no longer use the smith machine for squats
my strength has increased alot on this plan.
This week as I work out I will add my new weight lifting stats so I can look back digitally instead of thumbing through all of these notebooks.
I also think that I am going to change this workout plan after this week. 8 cycles is enough, and I would like to see some more changes, especially in my arms and hammies!!---

OKee Dokee Smokee...
So I got my second bout of Cardio in last night. I didnt go back to the gym, instead I took advantage of our cool weather and ran 2.5 miles with some hills. I was in a pretty stanky mood since I am moving and recieved some bad news about my place.
In the aftermath, I am not sure if it did any good, since I am such a dumb emotional eater that I actually BOUGHT cookies today
I did get a good chest workout in this morning, and out of sheer guilt I am planning on going back to the gym tonight *once it dies down a bit* and put in some good ol fashion cookie burnin cardio.
Then I start a-fresh tommorow.
My chest workout today was:
(12 min warmup on the step mill)
Bench Press 15x45/13x65/9x95/4x115
Incline Flye 12x15/12x20/9x30
Decline Smith Press 10x50/10x70/8x70/7x70
DB Press 15x25/12x30/10x35/6x40
DB Pullover 10x35/12x40/8x50
Pec Deck 15x30/12x40/8x50
Seated ISO press 12x50/10x50/8x70/6x85
I hope tomorrow is a better day in regards to diet. At least my exercise is still on point, but I will never get that figure if I keep having dumb days like today---

Ok, so I didnt get out of the house last night to go do some extra cardio. I was in a real funk all day yesterday, and it would have taken a small miracle to get me out of it...
Today is a new day. I got my bootie out of bed at the crack of dawn, went to the gym and got 45 minutes in on the elliptical at full, all out crazy speed. I got in almost 6 miles (kept it between 210-250 SPM the entire time).
I didnt give in there. Instead I went on to the treadmill and went for 30 minutes at 15% incline at 2.9-3.6 mph.
Then I died. lol. No then I did abs.
I still will get a weight workout in tonight, at some point. But right now its sunny and beautiful and I feel like celebrating the fact that its a new day!
So I will post my 2nd workout later---

Got my second wo in today.
It was back day. I started with a 1-mile warm up and then:
DB Rows: 12x45/12x50/8x55/5x60
BB Rows: 12x45/10x65/6x85
Good Morning: 15x45/12x65/8x85
ISO Row (Single): 12x90/10x160/8x160
ISO Row (DBL): 12x90/10x160/8x160
Lat Pulldwn: 12x60/10x80/6x90
I did fewer exercises than usual, but there was a wierd energy in the gym tonight. I dunno I never work out at this time. Usually I am there really early or really late, so the 7:00 crew was a different crowd than what I am used to. So its back to normal tommorow, and hopefully I will keep the eating as clean as it was today...---

Rest Days...
These are becoming increasingly difficult for me.
I dont even think I know what a rest day really is!! I am sad to admit this, but outside of fitness oriented things, I dont have much of a life. I mean, I dont HAVE to go the gym. Taking a day off from that place is a treat. BUT... I mean theres surfing, kayaking, running, hiking... taking a day off from the gym and not doing anything but cleaning house and watching TV?? I will be bored out of mind!
Or I will eat my way out of my misery.
At any rate... today was going to be rest day... but I am under too much stress. So maybe tomorrow
I'm off to do legs---

ahhh.. colonics..
So today was a good day.
I started off with a trip to the gym.
It was leg day. I love leg day. Squats make me feel powerful and sexxxxxy!!
So, I started with a good 15 min HIIT.
Then lucky me. The Squat Rack was EMPTY!!
So I did squats and SLDL's to start. Here is todays workout:
Squats: 12x45/12x95/10x115/8x135
Leg Press: 12x180/10x270/8x340/5x390
SLDL: 15x45/10x95/8x115
Plie Squats: 12x45/12x50/12x55/12x60
HAmtractors: 12x105/12x120/12x135/10x150/7x165
did I mention that I love leg day.
I did that first thing in the morning with a breakfast of carrot/orange juice and 2 shots of espresso.
I continued my fast from last night until 7pm (24 hrs) and I had a colonic at 2 p.m.
I know, I cant totally count all the weight loss, but I dropped 7.5 lbs from the colonic today... talk about being full of it!
I know about 2-3 lbs was water and it will back in the morning.
But its good to get all of that crap out of me---

Yikes!
Ok, so it just dawned on me that the LA marathon is less than 5 weeks away... hmmm I guess Id better get to running. My last long run (over 10 miles) was the Honolulu Marathon last month!!
So I guess the plan is, a 16 mile run before superbowl this weekend.
Maybe an 18-20 mile run the weekend of the 16th.
Then its marathon weekend the 2nd of March
Depending on how I feel, I will do the Big Island Marathon in March as well...
I guess I gotta kick my cardio up a notch
ah, well... off to do shoulders this a.m.---

Ok, so after months ... wait no YEARS of being at the same weight despite intense workouts and hellified cardio (several marathons a YEAR) I have decided to invoke the help of a much praised professional.
February is the month that I:
a) dont buy anymore fitness magazines. Except running times, and runners world, cause those are different.
b) get professional nutritional consulting and a designed lifting program by bigstew (musclemoms trainer, among others)
c) actually count my calories.
d) drop some signifant fattiness...
e) oh yeah, and turn 31 (bleh)
for $50 he offers online training (one months worth) so have enlisted his help.
I am hoping to drop a couple of lbs a week... we shall see what happens.---

So its tuesday. I am still kinda taking it easy. I havent lifted since Friday and today in an awkward position I tweaked my already weak wrist. Hopefully that wont interfere. I have kept up with cardio while I have been 'resting' though.
Yesterday, I spent 30 crazy minutes on the elliptical. I kept it between 250 and 300 spm the entire time. I love it when I get off and everybody is looking at me strange.... lol
Today I ran 5 miles, lots of hills, very windy (and rainy). I followed that up with about 15 minute of ab work and some awesome stretching.
I will get one more cardio session in tonight, and Tommorow a.m. its off to Bikram Yoga.---

Forgot to mention, how proud of myself for not succumbing to my desires of emotional eating. Despite days of watching my relationship self destruct, I have not bought cookies, cupcakes, or vodka martinis (except during superbowl, I did drink a couple)
So even though I havent been in the weight room, this could have gone way worse...lol---

Day before Friday
So its thursday and I have been lying around most of the day. Yesterday my stomach was extremely sensitive and I wasnt able to eat much all day, and by the end of the day I was ready for Pepto Bismol.
My stomach is not quite right yet, so I havent done much today.
I did get some cardio in yesterday, running for 20 minutes (HIT + Hills) and Elliptical Madness for 40 minutes.
I hope to go in tonight as soon as my stomach stops bubbling and do a bit more cardio before I retire..---

A new day
I have been moving since Saturday, and the past few days has been a mish mash of eating to go food, unpacking, shopping for the new place and sleeping on the floor. So after taking a week and a half off from the weights, I am excited to be headed back to the gym again. I have kept up with cardio, but thats been close to it.
I signed up with BigStew and he has me on a new program, so I have a new diet and a new workout plan, both of which I am STOKED about. So I am off to begin my new routine. I am looking forward to posting progress....---

Today was all wrong, lol.
it was the first day of my new training plan and diet, and I made it all the way to meal 3 by 9 p.m. I just ran out of hours. I started at the gym this morning, which was wonderful. It was leg day... I love leg day. Its wierd because I always train soooo heavy on leg day with hundreds of reps, but this new workout plan had me doing fewer reps than ever, and my legs are ooooweeee fatig-gay.
Anyway,
I came back from the gym and rushed from one client to another until 6:30 p.m. Good money, but I think this was my longest day ever. I ended up being 40 minutes away from home and STARVING. I had a meal replacement bar (APEX fruit fiber thing)
On top of it all, I still havent gotten my HIIT in for the night, so I am going to try to rest and do it late. I will post workout and macros after a brief nap...---

OK, its 5 a.m. and I just woke up from my 'nap' that started at 9 last night, so while yesterday was supposed to be an evening HIIT wo, I am moving it to today. I also am going to really focus on getting things on point as far as the diet goes.
Yesterdays was as follows:
Workout #1
Squats 6x95/6x135/6x135
Leg Press 15x180/12x180/12x180 (feet high)
Walking Lunges 12x40/12x50/12x50
Lying Leg Curl 8x70/8x80/8x80
Leg Extension 15x60/15x75/15x60
Roman Chair Knee Raises: 2 sets of 12
Weighted Ball Crunch: 20x25/20x25
Diet:
Pre WO: Shake (2 scoops lean dessert, 1 banana)
Post WO:
3 egg whites
1 egg
1/2 c oatmeal
1/4 c blueberries
APEX Fruit Fuel bar
1/4 c almonds
6 oz boiled chicken breast
1/4 c mixed veggies
now I know this is not enough calories, and this is not what my plan was. I missed two meals. I didnt eat the chicken until 8:30 p.m. and then I crashed!
Today will be better
I am off to the gym!---
