Sea,

 

I thought you were completely raw. Whats with the hashbrowns and coffee. Are there raw versions of those? And with the workouts you'll get back up to par. We are not machines, we dont function the same all the time. I'm sure you realize there are many variables that affect our workouts...Thats why we have next time!

Nope was high raw for some time (still had coffee). Started eating cooked a few days ago. Many people talked about how bad they felt going back to cooked, I didn't feel any different. Decided to add shakes back in, so we'll see how it goes. I'm not one to buy into any way of eating 100% (except veganism), I'll try different things til I feel best. Never been able to give up coffee though

Good to see you're back with a training log!

I like reading it

 

And, nice new avatar

 

Thank-you on both counts

 

Keep upthe training, and stay away from the booze

It's been harder then I thought it would be. But I haven't had a drop since the party. I know it's calories I do not need and makes me feel icky in the AM. And I thought quitting smoking was hard!

 

I hope you're doing well with the Scotland crew. Looking forward to visiting you all in 2007. I imagine I'll learn a lot.

My knee gave me some grief on the dead's yesterday which I've not had come up before. I pushed through, but am wondering if it could be related to form?

 

I was able to add weights to the deads, but my remaining routine was more difficult. Which may be a good thing

 

Liquids today, due to a Wisdom Tooth pushing through.

My calories vary from day to day. Right now I am undoing the damage done by not being able to work out when my toe was broken. That being said even on a "normal maintaining" day I take in much less calories then many people my size. I am blessed or cursed with a very slow metabilism. It doesn't take much for me to be able to feed my body and have energy throughout the day. My weight stays steady between 125-130 depending on how much water weight I am carrying at the time. I've not had problems dropping to low (which would mean risk of muscle loss). I wouldn't recommend it for everyone, everyone is different. The main thing is being sure I have energy, do not experience muscle loss, get enough nutrients from my food, and do not get hungry.

 

progress pic my daughter took this morning:

Not much coffee, not quite awake and hair just swept back. But, it'll do.

 

My shoulders and back are coming along nicely, and muscles are much more solid then before. I am quite happy so far, and look forward to further progress.

Yez, I am considering cutting down on foods like I did when I lost most of my weight when I was 17. I tend to be hungry most of the time regardless of what I've eaten, but my energy levels don't seem to be that affected by what I have or haven't eaten. Some of my best workouts have been when I've just woken up and haven't eaten anything at all.

Posting daily is beginnning to be redundant for my type of workout. So, it makes more sense to keep my schedule updated.

 

I have decided to compete in figure comps. I think it'll help keep me focused and give me something to work towards.

Here's the schedule. I'm not looking to be a power lifter, I want to continue to add muscle and definition. My current routine has reps of 10-8-6-6, the last rep of each is very hard but I do not lift to failure. Weight is only increased if the reps are coming too easy.

 

DAY 1:

Hammer Curls 10-8-6-6

Tri Pull Downs 10-8-6-6

Barbell Curls 10-8-6-6

Tri Kick Backs 10-8-6-6

weighted crunches

 

30 min Interval Training on Treadmill

 

DAY 2:

Deads 10-8-6-6

Bench 10-8-6-6

Lat Raises 10-8-6-6

Wide Grip Lat pull downs 10-8-6-6

Dumbbell Shoulder Press 10-8-6-6

 

30 min Interval Training on Treadmill

 

DAY 3:

Squats 10-8-6-6

Seated Calf Raises 10-8-6-6

Leg Extensions 10-8-6-6

Standing Calf Raises 10-8-6-6

Leg Curls 10-8-6-6

 

30 min Interval Training on Treadmill

 

DAY 4:

30 min Interval Training on Treadmill

ABS

Lower Ab Crunches 50

Upper Ab Crunches 50

Oblique Crunches 50 each side

 

DAY 5: REST

 

Eating:

I have been high raw and have come off raw. When I came off I was fine for a few days, but then started to feel sluggish. So I am incorportaing raw food back in, as I feel best then.

 

Coffee

Water

Grapefruit

Protein Shake w/flax oil

Raw Salad, Green Tea

Protein Shake

Raw Veggies, water

 

I'll shake this routine up in a few weeks or when I feel it isn't as effective.

  • 2 weeks later...

UPDATE DEC 5th:

Workouts are going well, but dread the cold weather on the deck to push weights. Last work out was sooo painful, my hands kept giving me grief, they hurt so bad from the cold. Going to work on enclosing the deck for the winter months when I get back from my brief vacation over the weekend.

 

Other than that, the work outs are coming easier and easier. Still making progress so not time to change yet. Need to start pushing towards comp. I need to do research and set a goal and time span.

 

Very stressful time, good to take it out on the weights...keeps me sane.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

TODAY

My brief vacation left me exhausted. Who knew days of walking would be so tiring??!! It was interesting, eating was NP and I ran into some real life vegans. They gave themselves away with their shirts which read "Vegan" and I am very astute like that.

 

Other than the walking (which I don't consider a workout), I have not been in a position to work out. So, I'll get a lousy leg day in today after work to pick up where I left off.

Interestingly, I didn't feel any stronger and the workout didn't feel "good" (not bad either). But, I had to add weight or it was too easy. So, therefore, still making progress with this routine.

 

Not sure on the food, yesterday was crunch day at work for the Holidays. So I was just grabbing something when I could...but stayed raw except drinks (cofee, coffee, coffee )
