Cellar Yeti Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My mom lives in Connecticut. I am flying out in May to move her here. She could probably use a friend, and someone to further influence her diet toward Veganism. (: I'm really craving cinnamon toast crunch. I might buy a box of the Cascadian Farm variety next week.

divamom Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 SAT- I walked 5 at the beach- fast 2.5 on boardwalk. it was a workout in itself, the peeps on bikes was crazy- sunny and gorgeous, so dodging bikes. 2.5 in the sand on waters edge, playing dodge on the waters edge. I am so so lucky! SUN: Legs2 x 25 roman chair dsit upsleg extensions 4 x 15 @ 70can't do my regular squats and luges as my insides are messed up bad..no downward pressure- I feel like my guts will call outplie squats 4 x 25 w/ 20 # dumbbellsplated leg squats (machine) , thats what it was called i think 4 x 10 @ 140# ( 70 each side)leg curls 4 x 10 @50 #butt blaster 3 x 15 @100#calf extensions- on horiz leg press 4 x 15 w/ 90 on each side...maybe it was 135 on each sideSomething! and y food is better. i am out of binge mode, kinda.tofu, kombucha 9lots), fake meat and soy yogurt. (i put cocoa powder and agave syrup in it, my bad)- but no potatoes, gum drops or rice bars or almond butter- all bad foods for me right now I think, and maybe its me- or if anyone reads this...we (peeps that wok out- and for me its been years...upon years- some more than others, but always SOMETHING- to go to 4 or 5 days a week..and from 85 mins to 45 mins ( or 8 and 10 ,miles to 3 to 4)...we are so so hard on ourselves. I have such a warped , twisted way of thinking I am fat, or a lazy person if I take a day off ( in this case two or three). and its still more than many. I am glad I have it, but I think SpartanDiva eluded to it a bit on a post as well, ...its a "constant"...it nags...somedays I find I measure my self worth on whether or not I did cardio or lifted- which has been a good thing--I wish I could channel that same drive to my career and personal life. Maybe I did...hmmm..time to write a best seller and not dawdle on a forum. I worked out- these were my workout thoughts, and all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So eating a LOT more protein like i did when i trained for my competition.. Tjoes has a fake meat that is uber high in protein- not doing any protein powder right now as it tears my stomach to pieces , and I still have a soft spot for the organic smooth peanut butter (not even buying almond right now- dangerous, and do you know what you can do with agave syrup, cocoa powder, peanut butter and rice puffs (organic)?(i had a luna today and yesterday was a box of choco drizzle envirokidz bars- almost like candy- quite yum, but a whole box is 720 kcal- and mostly carbs- so, -when I carb- I carb- so amping on protein and I can see the difference.workout* Incline press, 3 x 15 w/ 5# on ea side ( my right anterior head of my shoulder is jacked up with all sorts of crinkly noises and a modicum of pain attached) and I used big boy bar*supine all the good benches were taken w/ a bar, so I did supine bench w/ #15 dumbbells, but its all my right shoulder could bear*dumbbell fly's 3 x 15 w/ 8- again, my shoulder is screaming!*1- armed scull crushers 3 x 15 w/ 10#*dips on cybex- 3 x 10 w/ 45# ea side*tri ceps pull down 4 x 10 w/ I forgot to look, but Great challenge to self w/ weights- so was the dipscan't do my push ups.

divamom Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks Forklift on the career stuff! It is solid training...I am at a maintenance mode right now--but my mentality screams for, "faster, better, leaner, stronger:. Yes, I use dumbbells. I had a stress fracture years ago on my front left forearm ad have never been able to do the lie down , with a barbell kind I see the really cool, strong people do at the gym since. have tried. So, now, I have cuyt my weights back even more because of my right anterior deltoid. Sucks getting old, but beats the alternative-...whatever that may be. Quite the impressive physique in the avatar. Today- so far- 45 mins on the stair mill- level 16. Its so engrained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divamom Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 45 Cardio--DONE! damn stuff known as "chicory root"- its INULIN, fiber that does not digest- and causes gas and stomach aches. I got a box of bars from a woman in Canada that is trying to get into US Organic and Natural market- 16 grams of protein for 150 calories. BUT...there is always a catch..that crap is in it. so yumm..I ate three or four and within hours I was bowled over in pain--in bed by 8 pm--UNHEARD of...even being frickin' 50 As age is a number and hotties in their --well, we won't put their age down---kind of kidding-know I don't sleep at 8...anyways, better today--loading my nano and gonna go stair mill. Today is legs- but I have my daughter- so we'll see...its hard on the weekends with her sometimes to get the second workout--and I need cardio more than weights...its mental) I rarely take off time. I have journals going back to college. But today is a GOOD day. Two phone interviews turned into REAL ones next week. One is GOLDEN--Career, money, etc...the other will be "OK..and I will have flow while i keep my eyes open..and its actually a better fit for my life..I could go back to writing and be "happy" and possibly mend w/ my boys" all the stuff I thin about while working out--thats if I get offers. Manager tools has podcasts on nailing the interviews. the guys are amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divamom Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 what a great young man! my son's age, kind of. very hopeful! We're coming to Jersey to watch you compete. We ate vegan crap! I ran stores in So Cal to see where my prospective employer is on store shelves, etc. I am making mock presentation and I want to show I know my stuff. So, I grabbed him the next day and took him to one of the largest Whoel Foods in So Cal, a really cool 6 store chain where we had lunch, then back to a trendy 4 store chain where the owner is one of the driving forces behind the BIG nonGMO.org movement (it has a cute butterfly or something on it- its all over Whole Foods), our local coop here in San Diego and also a independent Natural store and a hybrid store- research! I did round #2leg extensions 1 x 10 @55 2 x 10 @ 70presses on vertical hoist 3 x 10 w/ 115#leg curls 1 x 10 @70 2 x 10 @ 55 plusButt blaster 3x12@100#AND the best part...25 more cardio on stair mill.
