  1. It has been QUITE a long time since I logged in here! Looking back I was either benching wrong or I added the weight together. I am definitely stronger now than I was then. Since my last post I have been let go (along with 20 other teachers) due to budget issues and me being the last hired from my job as a public school art teacher, got a new job, moved from Ohio to the Capital Region and am at an amazing point in my life! My current regimen is 6 days: Cardio, Upper Body, Cardio, Legs, Cardio, Upper Body, Rest I typically throw abs in on Cardio days, then switch Upper and Lower body the following week. Upper Body Ladder -----Assisted pullups 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 -----High rope row 12 -----Dumbbell bench 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 -----Dumbbell fly 12 -----Skull-crushers 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 -----Over-head Tricep Press 12 Cardio (typically HIIT Running ladder) Legs -----Barbell Squat 10, 8, 6, 4, 10 -----Barbell Deadlift 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 -----Standing Calf Raise 12, 10, 8, 6, 12 -----Seated Calf Raise 12 Also trying to focus more on nutrition. Cut out eating straight bread/rice/grains for two months to support my boyfriend who is participating in a fitness challenge. I'm still including Clif bars and Clif Builder bars, because I don't run well on low calories. Eventually I will start making my own, but I'm a slave to their convenience. Oh, and Vega Sport protein powder. Everything else is whole food/homemade. Logging my food in "My Fitness Pal", I was shocked at how high my carbs still are (even on days with no clif bars and very little fruit). Not that it's a problem, just wondering what it would have looked like when I had a bagel and vegan cream cheese addiction...
  2. Accidentally submitted the following post twice.
  3. Oh! I wore my VBB shirt on Friday. I got a "that's not possible"..... Wha? Then later it was a "Oh, well GIRLS could probably do it, but a guy couln't" then "unless you take a lot of shakes/supplements".... then "Oh, I forgot about beans..." Haha. He meant well, I just don't think some people can see how it actually works... because they think we only munch on carrot sticks all day. I told one guy that I gained weight and he was like "HOW?! Don't you just eat vegetables?!" Ha.

  7. Have you ever had senna tea? One brands it's called "smooth move"... Works really well for me... Though, I have never tried magnesium.
  8. So yesterday I became a single girl. So... I wasn't too motivated at the gym. I pretty much stopped in for an hour (maybe?) then went to dinner with my mom.

  9. Monday 5/8/12 NOMFC Three people showed up for spin. We finally convinced a 4th and Patrick (trainer) said he'd do 20 minutes rather than the regular half hour. Spin :20 w/ Patrick Total Package Training (super fast paced lifting) with Patrick 1:00 Spin/Run/Core w/ Jim- :20 Spin, :10 Abs, :15 Run/Wall Sit/Walking Lunges The lunges almost killed me.... my butt is burning from Sunday's workout!
  10. So I guess it's not a cold sore... nor is it even viral... according to the dr. Good news: I don't have leukemia and I'm not anemic. I also have higher than average HDL and Low LDL cholesterol (I didn't fast... does that effect it?) Bad news: My overall cholesterol was 131 a year ago... it was 161 this time (again, not fasting?). He was still shocked as to how low it was, though. He has NO idea why I bruise like a 90 year old and he thinks I have *insert big words* on my face... which was perio-something dermatitis.... which (in my head) translates to "something is wrong with the skin around your mouth". Well, duh. He gave me a steroid cream that I "shouldn't use for more than a week, because it'll thin my skin and expose blood vessels".... Might not fill this one.... that FREAKS me out....... He also gave me an antibiotic. He looked perplexed... but said it looks like that (face thing)... which is similar to acne?! What? I'll be 29 on the 19th.... and I've never had skin issues. Bad skin karma? Anyway.... Sunday, 5/6/12 NOMFC Leg Ext: 35x10, 45x10, 55x10, 70x10, 85x10, 100x10, 115x10, 130x10, 145x10, 160x10, 175x10, 10, 6 Seated Leg Curl: 55x10, 70x10, 85x10, 100x10, 115x10, 130x10, 10, 10 Leg Press: 150x10, 10, 10, 130x10, 110x10, 90x10 Stiff Leg Deadlift: 90x15, 12, 12, 12 Back Ext: w/10lbx10, 10, 10, 10 BB Squat: 95x10, 10, 8 (was exhausted by this. Should do this earlier.) Considering Splitting Hams and Quads.
  11. Huh, I feel like "love" is crashing and burning all around me. Anyway..... My friend usually talked about "carb day".... I'm guessing that's a lot like a cheat meal or a high calorie day. It's so awesome that you have a trainer now! You've done so much on your own, I can't wait to see you continue to transform!
  12. The cold sore is now in its original spot.... random spots around my chin... and now the bottom left part of my lip is swollen with two dots. I'm about to RIPMYFACEOFF... but I'm guessing that would be slightly more gruesome. It looks like I have acne or something. The welts, however, are lighter. I'm wondering if this is from using avocado oil on my face?? I'm super-negative-reaction girl. Wednesday 5/2/12 NOMFC Plank Position with feet on ball... pull knees in to chest (I'm sure this has a name...): 20, 15, 15, 20, 25, 30 Bicycle Crunch: 35, 30, 35 Spin Class with Nicole :45 Preacher Machine 40x12, 12, 12, 12, 12 BB Curl 30x10, 8, 10, 8 Seated DB Curl 15x8, 8, 8, 8 Standing Cable Curl 30x12, 12, 12 Rope Push-Down 50x20, 10, 10, 8 (I have no idea what happened here.......
