robert Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Great! Lelle is in charge this time, I'm totally out of the contest, so it will run much smoother as well. I am still working on getting all the data up from all of you who participated in the last shape-up challenge. Best of luck in this one as well! I'm sure it will be great!

bunnylalu Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness! SWEEEEEEET! good to know there are still actual muscles on this old body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnylalu Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 I love that feeling! I've been so focused on cardio lately that I haven't felt that in a while! Keep up the good work! It always amazes me that after months (or more) of no weight lifting, that the muscles snap right back into form. Painful form, but form none the less I rode my bicycle the 12 mile route yesterday to loosen up my thighs so I can do some weights today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunnylalu Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I didn't do any work outs over the weekend This week I am committed to 2 things: completing 3 weight training workouts before Friday and reducing the amount of fat I have been eating by focussing on fruits and vegies.

bunnylalu Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 Another kick ass day - Thursday: weights, cardio, cals under 1900. Still adjusting to weight lifting - delayed onset muscle soreness makes me walk funny!! (I haven't done any weight training since Sept 06 - and then I only did it for 3 months for the summer shape up challenge (July 1 - Sept 24, 2006) Before that - I hadn't lifted weights since 2001.

bunnylalu Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Another kick ass day! Hooray! and no tooth pain!!!! Plus my sister, a fitness trainer, explained the concept of periodization.1. Conditioning (2 weeks)2. Hypertrophy (4-6 weeks)3. Full on strength (1 - 2 weeks) I will give it a try, but always being careful I don't use too heavy of weights. My muscles work fine but my ligaments act their age (47) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, make recipes from website. Why? counting calories didn't help weight loss. my weight plateaued at 195 all month. Too many (1/3 or more) calories were coming from fat (nuts, margarine, chocolate, protein bars, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
