You girls are so funny. It is so much fun being single in your 40's. It is like being young and in college where you can do whatever you want only this time you have wisdom and money. I am having the decade of my life right now. I don't make it a habit to go out much. Not because it is hard to do but because I have so many other focused hobbies right now including running a farm with horses, Classical Guitar studies and now this body building/fitness thing all on top of a very demanding job. When I get a free night I usually have one of a dozen or so friends that I want to spend quality time with. Quite frankly I am pretty happy just being me but every now and then I let go and go out with someone who I don't know just to mix things up a little.

So since you asked here is my date blog.... (G rated version only since this is a family place.

I already told you how I woke up yesterday morning and put on my dress pants only to find they were 3 inches too big in the waist and too big in the booty. Well at lunch I went to the store across from my office and had to go to the JR department to find a pair of size 3 pants that would fit me. I found a pair and baby they were tight and also quite hot how they looked. I also while trying on these pants had a "wow" moment when I looked at the definition in my upper body (I had a sleevless top on). The result of these events when I finally arrived at the restaraunt was that I was feeling pretty damned hot and confident.

This was a blind date btw. I met Don in the lobby and we walked in together. When the hostess sat us and we walked back to the table I led the way (as is appropriate) and I could feel his eyes on my bottom. It was quite nice actually becuase I felt good about myself.

At the table I could tell he was really happy. He actually apologized for being so forward and then told me that he has seen precious few women of my age who have kept it together that well. We talked for a bit about working out. He is a gym rat who works out primarily on cardio machines and weight machines. I told him about deadlifts and squats and lunges and free weights. It gave us a great topic to break the ice.

After dinner we went to a nice coffee shop where there was live music. The players were two classical guitarists. (He thought of everything.) While we were sitting there, me a bit to the front of him and facing the players I had my elbow on the table and my head resting on my hand. He was rubbing my shoulders. It felt nice so I did a stretch which included a nice contraction of my bicep. Just at that moment his hand lands on my bicep. I turned to look at him and he has this suprised look on his face which immediately turns to a grin. So I gave it a full flex for him. I asked him if he was scared and he laughed and said yes but he liked it. It was pretty funny.

That was pretty much the night except for the good-night kiss. He spent a lot of time telling me how much he appreciated the work I did in the gym, and confessed to looking at my bottom as I walked to the table. I spent a lot of time feeling like all the work so far is very worth it for more than just my health.

Gym workout today sans trainer but trainer written plan

Warmup
1.25 mile interval run (.25 @ 6.5 mph and .25 @ 5.5mph) 2% incline

Calf raises
1 legged - 3x15 (bw)
2 legged - 3x15 (110lb)

Bench dips
1x15 (bw)
1x12 (15lb)
1x10 (25lb)
1x10 (50lb)

push ups on bench - narrow stance, keep elbows close
3x12

db foward delts - lean against wall to keep body still
1x15 (5lb)
1x12 (7.5lb)
1x10 (10lb)
1x10 (12lb)

Lat bar press downs - keep elbow in close to body
1x15 (50lb)
1x12 (70lb)
1x10 (90lb)
1x10 (90lb)

That was the end of the workout but my buddy was there and he wanted to do squats so I did a few of those even though I was supposed to be resting that body part for this weekend.

Squats
1x15 (45lb)
1x10 (110lb)
1x1 (135lb) - I tried doing 2 at this weight but at the bottom of the 2nd one I went WAY forward and if not for my weight belt I am sure I would have a bad back right now. (Doop) This is why my trainer says I am not to play with the heavy weights by myself at the gym

Not for awhile. Too busy for the heavy serious stuff. Besides, once you get all comfy in a realtionship is exactly when you allow your body to go to hell.

Karla you are so funny! I'm glad your date went so well. That is one of the biggest benefits of all this stuff we're going through, feeling so good about yourself and hot and sexy!

Not to mention others wanting to feel (good) about you too.

karla, that was great, I felt like I was there! thanks for the vicarious date. I agree with your comment about the 40's. I turn 44 in may, and I have never felt better!

and thanks for the excel spreadsheet. I have inputted yesterdays numbers, and you have inspired me to carefully track my intake so I can input the numbers next month and compare. very cool! another one of my engineer friends designed one for running--we do the galloway run/walk method for marathon running, and this table calculates how fast your run segments need to be to achieve a certain mile time, etc.

Here are my 1 month results

Week 1
5'4.5"
134 lbs
25.5% BF

Week 4
5'4.5"
129.4 lbs
17.9% BF

It should be noted that I bought a new scale for bf measurements and this scale measures under the handheld ones by a few percentage points. (I think 4%) I can take my measurements on the handheld one today and verify.

Here are pics. Not much to show in the pics but clothes fitting very differently.

The first pic is week1 and the second pic is week2

Two very cool things today.

1. Chocolate suffle with CytoGainer is some of the best I have had hands down anywhere. This stuff is far too sweet for me to drink but man, oh man does it make for some awesome cakes and cookies. And the macros are as good as a protein bar actually better because it has less fat.

Here is the recipe.... 4 scoops of cytogainer chocolate/carmel kind. 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of dried egg whites (got these at New Seasons). Combine these dry ingredients and mix water slowly in until just barely enough to clump the mixture. It should be stiff and rather dry. Cut the mixture in half and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for about 7 minutes. The outsides will look like brownies when done. If you pull them out at just the right time the insides will still be warm and goopy. OMG!! It is wonderful.

Macros:
235 cals
3.5 % fat
27 g protein
35 g carbs

2. I managed to make pizza with a whole wheat crust that had great macros too. I can have these sorts of foods!!!! There really is no need to diet and do without once you are empowered with the knowledge of macro ratio and portion sizes. Life is good.

My metabolism has slowed down this week. It looks like I am cooking pretty consistently right now (past 2 days) at about 2200 kcals. This is great news for me as I don't have to go to 3K in order to gain or at least stop loosing. Right now I am eating at 2500 and I am starting to see some gains in around my belly (why does the extra always go there?) and on the scale I have been up for 2 days in a row which is almost a trend. I count 3 days a trend...

Today is a rest day. I will do some form of mild cardio and then go watch superbowl with my buddies for remainder of the day. Life is good.....

So glad you find the spreadsheet useful. As you can see I use it pretty hard and find it exceedingly good for me.

Karla, great results already! I can see a lot more definition in quads and your abs, plus you definitely need a new - smaller size - bottom piece for your next foto shoot! Awesome job!!!
