This will be the last round of  my 5 day a week GVT. Today starts the 3rd round, and I will be increasing my weight and keeping the reps as is.  I am lo toing forward to starting my regular week splits next week.  I have been feeling good on this GVT program, and decided to do atleast 2 weeks of my regular training before i start in to  Phase 2 of the GVT program.  The site actually suggests a 3 week phase in between…..anyway I am feeling pressed for time and weight loss. I need to up my cardio to atleast an hour a day ( i do 30 -40 minutes 4x a week)  The weight is coming off.  I am on Day 40 of my diet and have lost over 7 lbs.  I need to lose 5.5 more to hit my first goal.  I am hoping to get there within the next 3 weeks.  This is all weight that i never want to see again, so i am really not considering part of my Competition cutting  Anyone who has done a show can tell you the difference.

Wish me luck on the getting rid of the next 5.

I am on Day 35 of my DIET, and feeling blah.  I am doing well on the diet, saving my "cheat" items for special occasions etc.  Just not really feeling great today.  I am on a low i guess….on Day 3 or my second set of German Volume Training, so it was an "off" day….which means cardio for me.  Tomorrow is arms and shoulders.  I was looking at pictures of myself from the past weekend and I see that i still need to lose 5 more pounds or so before i will be happy with my arms.  They still look watery….bloaty…like a fat girl.  I like when they are defined and big, not just big.  I got through my whole first week of GVT on shedule, pretty happy with it.  It is a great plateau buster, i have a link to the site on my main page if anyone is interested.

Gotta go throw some chicken in the oven.

I am phasing into a new routine with some GVT.

I am following a program I found on Bodybuilding.com.  Today is day 2 of the training:  Legs and Abs.  This was pretty harsh.

10 sets of 10 Squats

10 sets of 10 Lying leg curl

3 sets of 12 abs (low pulley)

3 sets of 12 calf raises.

Then i did a recovery walk on the treadmill for 20 min…..

Yesterdays workout was:

10 sets of 10 decline chest dumbbell (palms facing each other)

10 sets of 10 under hand PULLUPS

3 sets of 12 incline chest press dumbbells

3 sets of 12 bent over dumbbell rows

then i ran 2 miles and sprinted 2-100’s.

I know that the DOM’S (delayed onset muscle soreness) will hit me tonight and tomorrow…so happy that tomorrow is a scheduled day off.  The workout goes on Days 1,2 and 4, and off days 3 and 5.  Then repeat.

As far as the diet goes…I am on track.  Hopefully will drop 2 lbs this week.  I got a used 1 piece suit, and using that as my motivation.  Right now I put it on and sing Chris Farley: Fat Girl in a Little suit….Fat girl in a little suit…

Wish me luck through my soreness.
