Any recommendations? thnx

So, it was all good until Saturday night. I went out with my brother and sister in laws, because I’m leaving wyoming in two weeks-colorado springs here I come! Well, after a night of jager bombs and guiness I ate some pizza when I got home. And during my recovery the next day, I ate pizza and that night I had more pizza- leftovers. The next day, I took the kids to see thomas the tank like 2 hours a way and didn’t eat until 4 and I had half a bacon bleu cheese burger and yam fries. If I wasn’t with the kids  and driving I would’ve had the house porter, I settled for the home brewed root beer- it wasn’t great and it was full of sugar. Anyhoo, I got back on track today. I think the offspring gave me a stomach bug, so I haven’t been into to eating much today. I still managed to workout:

early AM:  30 (not including warm up) minutes cardio video

late AM:
db press 1×12

2×10

1×6

Incline DB flyes

8×3

Pec dec flyes

10 x 2

dropped 3rd set

30 Minute run- (beginning marathon training schedule)

I’m going to start working in my marathon training schedule as my cardio, and then crosstrain with the stepmill on my off Days. And I’m going to continue my weight traing as usual.  The schedule has me running 5 days a week, so I’m going to do  a 30-45 minute cardio session in the morning at around 55-60% MHR. sweet.

20 minute stepmill  interval; skipped step during recovery period.

45 minute fartlek treadmill run.

Nourriture:

7 am 2 small pieces of clif bar

9 am 1 ezekiel toast,  <tsp pb, 3/4 cup fruit

12 pm 1 ezekiel toast, <tsp pb, 3/4 fruit

4 pm 3/4 cup fruit, 6.4 oz tuna, 1 tbsp miracle whip, 1 ezekiel toast.

For Dinner- 6:30pm, I will have:

2 cups broccoli,  2 cups mix colorful veg,  chicken breast.

So, yesterday I didn’t workout very hard because I didn’t get to the gym until late, and didn’t have long before I had to pick up the offspring. The previous night I was suffering deplyment blues and couldn’t get to sleep, so I napped instead of going to the gym in the morning. When I finally got there:
Leg Press 15×1 (warm up)

then 10×3
Romanian Deadlift  10×3

Smith Machine Squats 10×3

then Superset back extensions and Leg Extensions 12×3 each

I ate:

like crap.

7 am 2 scoops lean dessert

slept from 9:30 to 1, so I didn’t eat.. obviously

1:30 pm 1 scoop lean dessert

3 pm 1 ezekiel toast, <1tsp pb, 3/4 cup fruit, chicken breast
6:30 1 boiled chicken breast, ezekiel toast, <1tsp pb

and called it a night

My ode to Ezekiel toast:

Oh, how I love you. You taste great with tuna ad peanut butter. Like bread but not, because you are sprouted. No wonder God gave you to man. I wonder if you tasted as good toasted over dung, as you are in a toaster. Hollah!

So, I’m starting to get used to eating super clean. I feel like I’m going to pass out from lack of stuffing my face, but at the same time I feel good. This Sh*t is cray cray. I guess my body is used to consuming at least 3 thousand calories a day. I’m getting my carbs from veggies, some fruit, and ezekiel bread, and minor sugars here and there - like peanut butter.

So, yesterday went like this:

Back workout 10×3

bent over rows

lat pull down

unilateral cable rows

tbar row

bentover barbell row

20 minute run on treadmill.

I ate:

5 egg whites,1/4 cup rice,  1/4 orange

lean dessert 2 scoops

boiled chicken breast, ezekiel bread w/peanut butter (less than tsp.), 2 cups broccoli

ezekiel bread w/pb (less than tsp)
boiled chicken breast3 cups broccoli

I don’t have time to post for today, I will later.

Workout:

45  minute stepmill interval, kept HR between 77-88% of max HR.

In about 45 minutes, I’m going to do a circuit of tri’s and abs. I’m not trying to do a hardcre tricep workout because they seem to get a pretty good  workout when I’m working larger muscle groups. And abs are, well abs.

Food, ooh la la. I didn’t intentionally eat such a low amount of carbs, with today’s schedule, it just happened. So here it is:

7 am 2 scoops lean dessert

11:30am boiled chicken breast (removed all visible fat) w/ some yum delish texas pete’s,  2 cups broccoli.

3:30am  Isopure  regular (dutch chocolate)

6:30 boiled chicken breast (removed fat), texas pete’s,  2 cups broccoli, 1/2 cup brown rice.
Tons o’ water.

Goal for tomorrow is to get more carbs- more rice, l looooove rice. Esp. because it’s back day plus interval cardio. I’m also going to shoot for 2 more servings of veggies and serving of fruit in the morning.
cheers.

I figured I would post some pics of my lard to work up some self-motivation. I’ve been hitting the weights and the cardio pretty hard, but my diet SUCKS. I’m pretty terrible at maintaining consistency, so I’m going to take another stab at logging my training and eating stats. It’s getting late, I’ve got brain fog and sleep on my mind. will post tomorrow.

I’m dead serious. I can’t fit into my clothes anymore so I figured it’s time to get to work. I will try to lose at least 15 lbs from now until this end of August. I’m weighing in at 143 which is big because I’m only 5′2. I’m wearing a size 8 now my waist is at 27.5 inches and my hips are let’s just say .. wide, whew! not good. I have been running, but it is doing absolutely nothing for my weight, because I eat really badly, and because my body needs weights to shed poundage. My goal is still the marathon, and while I’ve improved my running a great deal- my cardiovascular sys. is rockin, I need to lose some weight in order to be a more efficient runner- stride, gait. Not to mention that my weight is killing my knees. SO, here’s my plan:

Meal one: (6:30)
Isopure shake- low carb, dutch choc.
Redbull- sugar free

Workout: 8:30-10:30

Meal 2: post-work out

2 scoops EAS protein supplement

Meal 3: (11:00)

4 oz. Chicken breast, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 1/2 cup veggies

Meal 4: (1:00)
2 scoops EAS protein supplement

1 Apple

Meal 5: (4:00)
4 oz Chicken breast, 2 cups veggies

Meal 6: (6:00)

2 scoops EAS protein supplement

Depending on the day, I will work in an  either an HIIT evening cardio session, Bosu class, or walk.

As, I’m not big to begin with, I should be lean if I follow through with this for the next month. I will reassess in a month- baby steps here.  Although, my ultimate goal is to get around 118-120, I don’t care to weigh much less than that, and I run well at that weight. I mean I can’t believe I don’t weigh five hundred lbs. To give you an idea, I had coconut shrimp and a dr. pepper for breakfast, munched on fritos and had another dr. pepper, I had two peices of french toast butter, powdered sugar and all) and another dr. pepper, and a bowl full of penne with butter and parmesan. And this is how I’ve been eating for the past 9 months or so. After dieting last year, I acquired a binge eating problem- I didn’t quite hate myself enough to purge, and haven’t turned it around yet. My compulsive eating is almost around the clock and not just at night or anything. If it’s there I have to eat it, and it eat until it’s all gone-like, the whole box, package, cupboard etc. So, I need to get my brain in check.  Well, kids are home I will post my workout later.

So, here I am 8 months later and 15 lbs heavier. Not good. I have been meaning to get back on here and get back on track but have just been doing other things. Since Tom has come back from Iraq we have been indulging ourselves, haha. Really really indulging ourselves. I’m kind of tired of eating crap and I feel and look terrible. I’ll be posting some pics even though they are disgusting and embarrassing. Tom’s going back to Iraq again in four months, and I want to look good sometime before then. You know it’s funny  because we always take a lot of pictures before he goes to Iraq , so he has pictures to put up in his room, and last time I was a fat ass- we just had a baby (hehe nice excuse!) andI just looked horrid and so I asked him not to put up any of the pictures. I just do not want to be that fat army wife.  And I want him to remember me as being hot not blubbery. Also, i want to get my eating on track because I have a binge-eating problem. I always have and so I really need to take control of that. I’m also shooting for the Honolulu Marathon in December.
