Gymmie's Getting Buff


Recommended Posts

OK, this started off as the Spring Challenge Journal, but I kinda fell off the wagon on that. So instead of starting over, I'm just going to continue on here.

 

I still have the same goals as below, with the weight and inches a bit modified. I'm aiming for 30 pounds by the end of the year and then I'll evaluate from there !

 

I don't really have a number for the inches, but the more the better

 

Borrowed this format from Bunnylalu!

 

Fitness goals: Gymmie aka Sandie – Dallas, TX

Vegan since Jul 2006

Age: 37 (well I'm 36 but will be 37 in a couple of weeks so we'll just round up!)

Goals:

*Lose 60 pounds

*Lose 50 inches

*Obtain visible muscle

*Break men's necks as they do a double take--not due to how large I am but how HAWT I am!

Maintain workout program for 6 months (January – July) =

*3 days per week strength training (a combo of Tae Bo strength workouts and Jari Love)

*5-7 days per week = cardio (mostly Tae Bo/Turbo Jam)

*Contioning 1-2 times a week

*Additional abs at least 1x week

*Work up to 100 push ups

*Continue to drink 128 ounces minimum of water every day...ESPECIALLY Weekends

Current weight: 243.8

Desired weight: 183 (for contest..actual goal weight lower)

 

ETA--I forgot 2 things...items in blue added

I got some Tae Bo dvds for my birthday last july - and Russell just hooked up the DVR last night. I'll be checking them out in the near future - but I love the idea of kicking ass!!

 

Good luck with the contest - Stay Strong!!

Yes it is! That was after a filming of some of the workouts! And gosh darn it I'm going to get back to that!

 

How fun! You'll enjoy them! Billy is a blast!

 

Thanks! You too!

I find that goal comes to mind often; though not for the same reasons

 

Good luck; you can do it!

 

LOL! Thanks! Good luck to you too!

Tuesday--AL11/GB Abs

Wednesday--S&L

Thursday--New AL1/GB Abs

Goodness! I haven't updated in a while!

 

Scale wise I haven't lost much, but inch wise it seems I've done well! I don't measure again until the 28th, but the jeans I wear on Fridays feel looser each and every week! I did a size check on some other jeans, I have one pair that I can pretty much wear, but the pooch needs some work! But it does seem to be smaller so maybe it won't be too bad now! But in any case a long shirt can hide that!

 

I was sick most of last week so I didn't get a lot of my workout in but at least I didn't gain either!

 

This week I have:

 

Sunday--Rest

Monday--Slim and Lean/fluidity

Tuesday--Billy's Favorite Moves

Wednesday--Slim & Lean/Fluidity

Thursday--Cardio Circuit 2

Friday--Slim and Lean/Fluidity

Saturday--Open

 

I'm going to most likely do more cardio and abs, but not sure which ones yet.

I'm currently in the middle of a 7 week rotation using Tae Bo and Jari Love videos. Once I'm done with that and have done my recovery week, I'm going to do a 5 week Squeeze rotation. Then another recovery week and then a 4 week SWAT rotation followed by another recovery week to finish out the year.

 

I'm planning on taking pictures at the end of each rotation that will serve as before/after for each segment.

 

These were taken a few weeks ago...

Hmmmmmmm...the scale said I gained, but my BF shows it's lower, so not sure what's up there. But we'll see. I won't change the ticker since I used last weeks numbers vs. the beginning numbers and it puts me back where I started a few weeks ago.

 

I decided to change up my rotation a bit. I decided to make my current one 6 weeks instead and then do my SWAT one first and then Squeeze.

 

This week I have:

 

Sunday--Rest

Monday--Cardio

Tuesday--Slim and Lean

Wednesday--Cardio

Thursday--Slim and Lean

Friday--Cardio

Saturday--Slim and Lean
