CollegeB Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSiren Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSiren Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Yesterday: Coffee Intervals on tread 30 min Banana, water on the menu (I'm cooking for everyone) at 4PM today: On the menu: Tofurkey (I have been off soy, but will make an exception for a day) Hot & Spicy Winter Squash Soup Nut Loaf Corn Bread Stuffing Mashed Potatoes Gravy Candied Yams Green Bean Casserole Watergate Salad Baked Pineapple Cranberries Rolls Black Olives Greek Olives Dill Pickles Sweet Pickles Pumpkin Pie Sweet Potato Pie Drinks: water, tea, beer, wine, and other adult beverages. I'll have a taste of these except the watergate salad, candied yams, baked pinapple, rolls, pie and adult beverages. Planned -another 30 min cardio interval training in the eve. Today:I still felt "full" 3 hours after meal, which isn't a good thing. Even though I ate much less than everyone else, I think I still took in too many calories at one sitting. I did however, get that second cardio in. coffee Planned: banana raw spinach coffee protein shake celery green tea, water Today: 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 Dead's 10-10 weighted crunches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 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. AM 30min Interval Training Dose of UV After work: Today: Squats 10-8-6-6 Seated Calf Raises 10-8-6-6 Lounges 10-8-6-6 Leg Extentions 10-8-6-6 Standing Calf Raises 10-8-6-6 Leg Curls 10-8-6-6 Meals: Coffee Juice made from fresh orange Protein Shake Coffee Protein Shake Tea, water PM 30min Interval Training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 How many calories do you aim for a day? It seems like some days you get like 600? Unless the protein shakes have more than I think in them. Lemme know, I'd be interested to hear what it generally totals out to! You must know what you're doing of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) 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.http://www.denisenicole.com/images/denise12062e.jpg Edited November 25, 2006 by SeaSiren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaSiren Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 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.

SeaSiren Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TODAYMy 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Decided to post because I can't keep track of my intake lately. Coffee, Banana Coffee, raw spinach a couple seed crackers water after work out Don't have anything coming up and the beer store has the holiday beers in....so I caved. I'm soooo weak! Wasn't hungry for dinner. 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 Busy, busy, busy at work because of the holidays and haven't made it to tan. Hurts my mood, so I'll try to get there before I take someone head off or go into hibernation....whichever comes first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaSiren Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Rest day yesterday and there was Vegan Food at the party, although I have been eating raw food this week and it simply wasn't appealing to me. I did have some drinks and socialize.
