IronMum Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 heh, at my gym my trainer-buddy and I never have a problem getting the leg machines (calf stuff is always vacant) but upper body stuff is a different story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 I love hogging the calf machines not that I need to work my calves lol. Have missed you gaia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Monday Oct 22 Hahahah my back to normal idea went out the flipping window after breakfast!!! Morning snack an hour late, lunch an hour late, afternoon snack was a toss up between chips and salsa and poptarts... I ate chips and salsa, got off work an hour late and barely made it to the trainer on time where in the middle of training I had to wolf down my banana and protein shake to help fuel me since I didn't get to eat dinner. Client home and only reason meals should be late but not missed now will be because I am in the middle of tending to her needs... Worn out so I didn't do my pm cardio. ChestPush ups: 3 sets 20 repsDumbbell incline press: 35 lbs 15 reps, 40 lbs 12 reps, 2 sets 45 lbs 10 reps (trainer has to help me get the dumbbells up in the air but after that it is all me until I am on my last couple reps. Loving getting stronger)Dumbbell chest fly: 2 sets 20 lbs 15 reps, 2 sets 25 lbs 12 repsPush ups: 2 sets 20 reps, 2 sets 15 repsBall crossover: 3 sets 30 repsBench leg lifts: 3 sets 20 reps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't feel strong today but that is due to lack of food yesterday. Glad it was calves day!!! AM cardio: 20 min step mill fat burner program lvls 5-9 (upped the level on the slower parts to make them faster and on the faster parts slowed down cause damn it gets fast!!!)

LMNgetfit Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thought I'd check out your journal-nice work in logging your workouts AND food!! I like your snacks-I too usually eat an apple for a snack-very filling! My PB goes in my morning hot GF cereal-keeps me full longer! Keep up the good work!

Synny667 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 thanks mini! Has been a rough week so just looking forward to lifting so i can relieve a little stress. Been hitting just right that head hits pillow and i am asleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ok not going to lie.... has been a difficult week at work. Doing good to maintain my weight at 178 (would love it to be lower), not binge which I end up doing cause I still haven't learned how to deal with stress at work especially now since I can't leave to go for a run or something, lift heavy and get all my cardio in. I am also very exhausted this week and I am glad next week is my "recovery" week which is lighter weights higher reps. I need to really find the time to post all my workouts.... Had a dinner date with a friend last night and it was good to get some girl time we went out for sushi. I got an order of edamame and tofu skins (hollowed out tofu pocket stuffed with rice and sesame seeds) and a side of vegetables. My day 1 day off this week will be spent volunteering for a 5k obstacle course which a friend is running, making a mad dash to a bodybuilding show to cheer on a friend and for my friend running the race to decide if he wants to compete on stage and then make an appearance at a Halloween party.... really??? I will be short on sleep cause I have to be at work by 8am Sunday morning....... Oh well I guess I will just crash super hard Sunday night after Once Upon a Time lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Aww diva i don't do much really. Just eat to live, train like hell, cheat daily and start the next day all over again. Finally getting it through my head to eat what i want but in moderation. When its time to cut then i will be critical of my eating. All these yummy fall flavors are not going to be missed by me!

Synny667 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Diet won't be up to par today but then again I won't be at home, around a fridge or even a microwave or stove. That's right kiddos today I will be volunteering for a 5k obstacle course. Packed a vega all in one packet, vega protein bar, PB sammy, thai sesame peanut wrap, apple, 4 servings of protein powder and sweet chili sprouted tortilla chips. That doesn't include dinner which will be on the way to a BB show where I will have dark chocolate and wine with a friend who is competing.... well after she is done and can enjoy a little indulgence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 I wish the gym was open!! To damn cold and dark to go for a run. Tired and slightly sore from standing around shivering yesterday at the run I volunteered for but wouldn't change any of it. The BB show was awesome! My yoga instructor swept all of figure open, masters and overall. I think my workout partner is really leaning towards the board short category but still has some thinking to do on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carrot topless Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I like that you update so regularly, it shows that you really care about sharing your progress with us. I can really see the massive progress you have made step-by-step. It is really inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thanks man. I actually love to look at pics of the new me and sharing them. Granted I still love being behind the camera it is getting much easier to be in front of it now. The main reason I posted this pic today was because I needed a reminder close by of what I am striving so hard for... just to compete and prove to myself that I can do something, not quit and not be the person I used to be at 270.....

carrot topless Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 You really have come a long way, but you still have some distance to go. I know from personal experience that one can look at the progress one has made and the feeling of accomplishment takes away from what still needs to be done. That is a bigger risk right now that the very difficult task of reverting to your former self. Do not settle yet! I am watching you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 Trust me reverting is not an option. My eye is still on the long term and know I still have a long road ahead of me. It is now a matter of getting my work stress level under control which will get my binging under control but when I can go running or even zone out to clear my head it makes it super hard.

Mini Forklift Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Love reading your nutrition... makes me realise that I'm not as good and diligent as I often think I am haha. Breakfast troubles... soak your oats the night before and you're good to go !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 I forgot to mention my afternoon snack was 1/3c raw pumpkin seeds and an orange. The scale showed i either had to much or i had to much salt. I think it is both lol. I actually did soak my oats so they are ready, coffee pot just needs started and i forgot to pack my lunch last night... I tried my hand at making seitan but looks more like dumplings lol. 1/2c oats, 1tbsp whole flax seed, 1c soy milk and a tsp vanilla. Before i left for the gym i drizzled on some agave and sprinkled on cinnamon. Never had cold oatmeal before..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) I started thinking about adding in HIIT cardio 3 days a week but do it twice a day on those days. Need to work on blasting some fat off this body. From what I have read it won't hurt my muscle mass so it is worth a try. Especially since 2 of the days a week are long boring days at work so will help me with a nice afterburn while I am stuck inside not able to go out or do anything. I should be able to go back to doing yoga this week thank god! I wish I could nap today but will just get to bed early tonight. My boxer decided that during the night she was going to whine and scratch at her kennel door to get out. She just wanted to snuggle with me and my basset.
