bunnylalu Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 2/19-2/25: Cardio 4 days. No weight workouts I need more self discipline.... Need more discipline!?!?!? Are you kidding? You are doing a great job and are an inspiration to me!! Keep up the great work! Thanks Sporty! I can't help feeling that I'm failing because I said I would do weight lifting 3 days per week, and all I've managed to do is an average of 2 days per week. Yesterday I did a shorter session than usual - strictly chest and triceps. Feelin the pain today Plus, still staying with McDougall - but not losing any weight. I placate myself by thinking I'm gaining muscle which offsets the weight loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnylalu Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 A month of following the McDougall diet and I've gained 2 pounds Not enough protein, all carbs, and I felt weak & dizzy often (signs of hypoglycemia) Now I'm going to try the SOY ZONE by Barry Sears. It is relatively high protein and low calorie. The long time struggle with weight continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that was the case though there should be some decrease after a month. I hope the new diet works out for you. Keep up the great training and stay motivated.

bunnylalu Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 Wow... before I went vegan... I had a lot of symptoms of hypoglycemia. That explains my mood swings and violent tendencies... I heard that the best remedy is freshly ground flax seeds. There was a study done on people in prison regarding their lack of omega - 3 and omega-6 in their diet - highly correlated with mood swings and violence - risky behaviors. I think I have that article somewhere if you'd like to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnylalu Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 (edited) Did a great workout 3/20. Compound Super Sets: Seated Row 40#:15,12,12 with Reverse grip cable pull downs 40#:15,12,12Standing v-bar pull downs@ 45' angle 40#: 12, 12,12 with standing dumbbell curls 12#: 9, 10#: 8, 8# 81-arm dumbbell rows 15#: 12,10,10 with standing hammer curls 8#: 10,10,6Dumbbell preadher curls 12#:10, 10#:10, 9 with Standing EZ bar curls bar+5#:8,7,7 Then got an infection that took a few days to get over. Then my husband accepted a job - we will be moving to Medford Oregon at the end of April. I suspect my workouts will be rather haphazard over the next few weeks - but I will do my best to stay on track.

bunnylalu Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I got my Encyclopedia of Muscle & Strength plus The Complete Book of Core Training in the mail - both are FABULOUS. REALLY, REALLY FABULOUS. I'm still working on getting the house ready to sell - 4 more days before it goes on the market - April 18 - then the movers will be here on the 23 to start packing. Then we leave Dallas on the 29. This move is really messing with my workouts - plus I'm eating lots of comfort food and not losing weight. Still, I am going to finish this contest - and then probably sign up for the next one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc7 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Glad you like the books! Sounds like you're pretty busy with the move but still keeping up with some workouts. Once stuff settles down again I'm sure you'll get back into it just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnylalu Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 We made it to Medford on Saturday, May 5 around 5 pm. My left side had been hurting a little all day, and when we got here the pain escalated from a 5 to a 10 in less than 30 minutes so I went to the emergency room. I had a kidney stone! What a way to arrive at our new town. I had it blasted with sound waves on Thursday and finally yesterday, Mothers Day, I feel fully recovered. Truly it was the most excruciating experience I've ever had! Much worse than child birth! So now we are staying in a motel until our house in Dallas sells so we can move into our house in Medford. I have my bicycle and two sets of weights, 15# and 10# to work out with. My eating has been crazy since I found out we were moving and I have gained around 10 lbs Right now I am just working on doing what I can until we are more settled and I can develop a routine/diet that works for me.

Moving can be tough....I know I was a Navy brat and it seemed like we moved about every 18 months. So when I became and adult, I moved a lot too. Home is where my "stuff" was.

markc7 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Bummer about the kidney stone and the hassles of moving. But I'm sure things will start to go better once you've moved into your new place. Keep doing your best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
