Synny667 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I have a lot of work to do in a short time. I don't mind really paying cause it has gotten my sister to actually workout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I know that what I made yesterday is by no means healthy but damn it sure does taste good... cardamom pear butter!!!!! At least I know what went into it and won't feel so bad adding it to my oatmeal or toast hehehe. Let's just say that I didn't even put a dent into that tub of pears making the pear butter (that was over 5 lbs worth too). I priced out pears at the store last night .... $1.49/lb. I just saved a whole lot of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will work for a month and optimize what we are trying to do. I know I have enjoyed lifting heavy this month cause wow I feel so much stronger!!! But I see needing to drop some weight cause well I don't want to do it all at once so back to eating normal portions on oatmeal, lentils and up my protein shakes..... Gotta make sure that if I am lifting heavy I need to keep my protein content up there.... Ok I got this! I just need to steer clear of gluten and sweets my 2 biggest downfalls!!!!!!!

Synny667 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ok I am beginning to think that my trainer is a HUGE fan of cutting.... After only a month of bulking he is talking about cutting! I did talk him into holding off a month and giving me 1 more month of bulking which he has in turn agreed to doing 2 a days 4 times a week. Will be starting that Monday and will be taking the weekend off to recover aside from some long low intensity cardio (treadmill). I got busted by one of the trainers this morning sitting in the parking lot listening to music hahaha. I was woken up at 4:30 by my dogs and they were all about being in my lap and not letting have any space. So I decided since it is my mom's last day at her job I would buy her a donut (she doesn't get them but once in a blue moon oh wait tonight is a blue moon lol) and then moved over to their parking lot which was next door and sat and listened to music in the car. Sometimes a mom, fur mom or human mom, has to do that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Had a breakdown today and I think more are to come.... All because I wanted a treat and a friend gave me a slight earful about said treat. Guess I will just make a protein shake and call it dinner since I don't have anything that would make a full meal.

Synny667 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yesterday's breakdown was a combination of lack of support, bad day at work and being ignored by friends. I decided I am taking a break from social media. Figure my so called friends won't notice me missing... and to think I used to brag about how supportive and wonderful my friends were. Honestly I only see 7 on a semi regular basis only because of the gym and never outside of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ok enough of the pity party. I got a full night's rest since Allie is starting to sleep all night long in her kennel (I actually had to wake her up this morning). I realized I have 2 of the bestest friends in the world... my fur babies. Trainer changing workout to 2 a days next week so he can figure out how he wants to set them up. All I did over the weekend was cardio which was fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Just a quick update... gained 10 lbs (not worried)and only 1% was from body fat but he thinks it has to do with meals eaten, thinks same about weight too. Gained an inch in my arms, inch in my thighs, half inch in my chest, an inch in my shoulders and quarter inch in my forearms. All in all I think I have rocked the past month!!! Going back to a super clean high protein diet, not happy about it but oh well bite the bullet and get to work cutting some fat off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 My trainer does my measurements for me. As for body fat he has a device you hold but he says he doesn't put much merit into it.

Synny667 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Started 2 a day low intensity cardio sessions... me no likey cardio. However today I can't do 2 cause I have plans and won't have time to do that and make it to my date on time lol. Might do another session of cardio after yoga or just settle for 1 today not really sure what I am going to do till I do it lol. Today I am going to call and reserve a spot at the local health food store for a kombucha making class!! I love the stuff so much I think it would be cheaper to make it myself than buying a bottle for $4..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synny667 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I am not a cardio queen I dread it with a passion to be honest but I am hitting double cardio sessions and back on a clean diet. My stomach isn't a happy camper and even with all the water it is still very hungry but my options at work are cake, chips, cookies or pop tarts.....
