First week on Stevep78s plan and some playlists

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Hi all! I just wanted to update on what is going on with me. Well, i hooked up on Stevep78’s extreme fat destruction plan after seeing some of his members including my husband have awesome results. Its weird, but i am already feeling leaner and have lost 1.5 pounds by the scale, but you know that is probably water weight. I’m looking to shed about 15 pounds by the Summer time so i’m ready to rock this plan in the coming months and looking forward to seeing some supreme results :D My body is so sore and freaked out already with one week down. My legs are unbelievably sore which i guess is a good thing. Not lifting extremely heavy since i just had surgery like 2 months ago, but lots of reps and all will give ya a nice burn no doubt! I feel like great things are in store for me and loving the pump i’m getting on this plan. I will post some progress pics later on when i see the results are worthy to show :P I’m sure though on Steve’s plan that i will have them and with all the inspirational transformations so far on here, who wouldn’t be inspired? I’m not able to work abs yet (had tummy surgery) until 1 more month and then i can do them without weight. Bring it on! I leave you guys with some song suggestions off of my playlists. If you got something in mind that you think i will like, please let me know. I’m up for new songs to rock out.

Stoning your own competition suit tips/instructions

Friday, April 17th, 2009

I got asked for tips from a few on how to stone suits since i did some stoning on mine so i decided to compile a blog giving tips/instructions that will help others as well. It will save you some money and it will be your unique creation :)

Stones
I have ordered stones from http://www.tamisplace.com/

She is awesome and ships out FAST, very reasonable prices too.

I have also ordered from http://www.dreamtimecreations.com/

I prefer the first site, the second site i believe sells the broche things that go in the middle of the top if you wanted to add some bling to the 2 piece if it doesn’t have it. I did that with my burgundy 2 piece. I wouldn’t order any stones smaller than 10ss as they are really hard to work with and i used e6000 glue to apply the stones. I also searched on the web for suits that i thought were nice and easy to kind of imitate and give me ideas for my design. You can order different colors, shapes and sizes. The most common stone color is crystal clear (i work mostly with just flat back stones).

Things to have ready when you get ready to stone your suit.

1. cardboard box big enough to stretch your suit around to keep it taut (i used a priority box).

2. Some stones facing down ready to be picked up and applied.

3. washcloth to wipe off excess glue.

4. toothpicks to clean around stones (you do want to surround the stone with a little bit of excess glue to make sure it doesn’t come off easy though especially when you go to wash your suit).

5. Only do small sections at a time and don’t leave the glue tube open for long times as it will dry out. I would squeeze out a little in something capped so i would get some with a toothpick to apply to the stones. I would let the section that i applied stones with dry for at least an hour before beginning another section.
*Another tip: Most suits can be washed in Woolite if no instructions are on your suit. I would not recommend having it drycleaned or put in the washer.

I hope this helps! That is pretty much what i could remember. Stoning the suit while prepping helped me keep my mind off food and it was fun doing, although a bit tedious at times, but you can be proud of your work on the suit regardless. I have a video on my page where i showed my one piece on the box and how it came along, i don’t think at that point that it was finished, but you can get an idea. Good luck and get your bling on!

first week back training and can hardly walk!

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

Hi everyone! I got back to training after 4 weeks off due to my surgery and i can hardly walk! I have been just doing lightweight, but keeping rep ranges between 15-20 (mostly 15) and doing 3-4 sets with my exercises. I have also been doing slower tempos so that really triggered my muscles into shock! I am totally sore everywhere except my hamstrings aren’t too bad. Those are some hard boogers to get sore and make grow, but from what i see that is one of the most difficult areas for most women anyways. My calves is another story, they are STILL sore from Wednesdays workout. My right one feels like it cramps up and stays stiff if i don’t move around. I was surprised about this since i was using lighter weight…lol. Maybe some growth will come out of it since my calves are so small.
I started off like this for my first week and may keep this going for awhile. I can’t go back full blown until 3 months out and then i don’t know if i can do any ab workouts, i may have to wait until i’m 6 months out from surgery:

Monday - Biceps/Triceps & 45 mins cardio

Tuesday - Chest/Back & 45 mins cardio

Wednesday - Hams/calves & 45 mins cardio

Thursday - Traps/shoulders & 45 mins cardio

Friday - Legs & 45 mins cardio

Saturday - 45 mins cardio(was going to take off, but felt up for it)

Sunday - OFF
I am doing low to moderate intensity cardio and i break it up like 25 mins before lifting and then the rest after my lifts. This seems to work well for me. I take NoShotgun before/during my lifts which tends to help me and a bit of beta alanine. So far so good. I’m still undecided if i like NoShotgun better than Vasocharge. I feel like Vasocharge kicks in better, but we will see after awhile. Eats have been alright, although not 100% and i’m have been allowing myself 2 weekly cheat meals. The scale hasn’t changed really which i’m happy with, but i do need to get my water intake up since i have been slacking on that. Almost time to order some more protein powder, dang it goes fast for real now since my husband (rpeebles75) has started a healthier lifestyle. Its all good though. Thanks for reading!
