Synny667 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 The elliptical is ok but I prefer the bike. The cornbread is best served warm with milk and sugar but that has been my fav way since I was young. I have never been teeny always stocky or hefty lol. Can't wait to see if I get teeny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Wow managed to pull a muscle in my groin/hamstring area during yoga. Very uncomfortable to move it, sit down and stand up.... should be very interesting. Not happy this happened..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mina Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Oh no! You got any anti-inflammatories like Vega's Recovery Accelerator, Vegan Zyphlamend, ginger-tumeric pills, EFA's, and or vitamin C? I hope it heals quickly! It should just be a temporary set back! Don't stress over your training being delayed, just heal up well love =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks it only bothers me when I sit on a hard surface with my legs uncrossed. Luckily legs day isn't until Saturday so I will be icing and being gentle on my leg. Lucky for me the elliptical doesn't phase it a bit but I am sure the stationary bike I was eyeing this morning would. But here is something I just don't get at all. Why would you drink a soda of any kind, diet or regular, while working out or doing cardio???? I just can't put my mind around it. I can kinda understand gatorade, can understand the preworkout drinks, and the protein powders but I see people drink soda and coffee at the gym...... Am I missing something? Did I not get the memo??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mina Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Oh wow. Yea, I would love to know that too. Seems self-defeating to me. Happy to hear you could still do some cardio. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah otherwise I go nuts cause I can't burn off the extra energy. Seems once I feel I have burnt off the energy my reserves are full again and I want to do more... I can't figure out what I need to do to slow that down. I feel like I want to go go go go all the time and when stuck at work I get restless, bored and irritated. I need a more active job but silly me I made a promise that I would stay till the end.....

lobsteriffic Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Coffee I guess I could see (energy from the caffeine?) although it's a little weird. Soda is just plain odd to me! But then again, 5 years ago when I started working out I was a smoker and I used to go outside the gym straight after working out and have a cigarette, so people do crazy things.

Synny667 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 I used to smoke to but still dont understand the soda in the gym... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mina Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 My guess is, they are either in transition from unhealthy to healthy, and haven't quite kicked the soda (&/or coffee) habit yet. Or they haven't learned that not all calories are the same, i.e.: yes caffeine & sugar can give you the boost, but getting those from soda can rip your body apart. My quick & superficial take on it.

Synny667 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ok I think I am ready to try running again. I will start out on the treadmill tonight. Last night I was jogging in boot camp and did ok. Really tired of the elliptical right now. Might even throw in the stair mill. Also going for a sports physical tonight after work.

Synny667 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Running was not in the cards tonight nor was the stair mill. My physical gave me good news and a bit of bad news. It appears I have a faint heart murmur that they wanted to make me aware of but said it could be from changes in hydration. Will have be monitoring it but not fussing over it. But I was also told I seem to be in good health and to keep training. AM: 30 min elliptical weight loss programPM: 30 min stationary bike random program LegsSupersetLeg extension: 3 sets 75 lbs 20 repsSeated leg curl: 3 sets 90 lbs 15 repsHack squat: 4 sets 40 lbs 50 repsKneeling leg curl: 4 sets 10 lbs 20 repsSumo squat: 4 sets 65 lbs 20 repsSeated calf raise: 2 sets 90 lbs 15 reps I don't think my diet is working for me. It is way to restrictive on vegetables. I need to sit down and look at what I can do to improve it to still lose but kill my cravings that I can't shake. Breakfast: 1/2c oats, 2 tbsp flaxseed, 2 scoops protein powderSnack: chips and salsaLunch: 1/2 block tempeh, 2c broccoli, 1/2c brown riceSnack: 1/2c black beans, 1/2c red beans, 1/2c brown rice, 2c broccoliPostworkout: 2 scoops protein Supper: 1/2 block tempeh, 7 asparagus spears, 4 tbsp krautBedtime: 2 scoops protein powder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 What an absolutely fabulous day!!! I think it was in the 40s or 50s today. I grabbed the nearest tank top and capri pants and headed outside! I decided to utilize my clothesline and hung my clothes out to mostly dry, started clearing my garden and started cutting back the bushes. I am going to assume since I did about 2 1/2hrs of yard work that I might have burned a good amount of calories today lol no idea just going to assume.
