First set of pictures and stats up by September 8th, and it will run until January 4th. Likely (unless I go insane) I'll start another one in January for 6 months. I'm not in this one, but I'm thinking maybe in January I will.
Monday's Workout with Charlie...I should mention it looks awesome but I was SOOOO tired and was dragging it through most of it, so much so that my trainer went over time with me to complete what he wanted me to do...my cardio is sooooo far gone, I really have to get back in there and get it back! Anyways, here goes:
Ball Squat Warmups
Bosu Ball Step Ups x 20 each leg Bosu Ball Alternating Knee Push Ups x 30
Mini Squats on Bosu x 15 Bosu Ball Step Ups x 20 each leg Kneeling on Bosu Ball Hands on Bench Push Ups x 30 Mini Squat then Shoulder Press x 25 each side (squat rack bar (40lbs) with one end on the floor other end in my hand) Standing on Bosu Ball Mini Squat then 50lb Cable Row x 20 Bosu Ball Step Ups x 20 each leg Kneeling on Bosu Ball Hands on Bench Push Ups x 30 Standing on Bosu Ball Mini Squat then 70lb Cable Row x 20 Then Mixed in some Pad Training:

Tire Pushups x 30 Bosu Ball Step Ups x 20 each leg

Edit: forgot to mention the 50 mins cardio I did after this!!!
DONE. I was utterly and competely exhausted today. Breathing hard and everything. He took it easy on me after seeing me almost yuke on his shoes on Monday. Who knows what he'll have up his sleeve for Friday!!! I'm not used to and do not like this...it shall not happen for much longer...gonna whip my sorry ass back into shape!!!
And as promised here's the food for the three days...my macros and calories that I'm trying to hit are as follows:
Workout with trainer Days:
1685cal, 118gC, 130gP, 77gF
Non Workout with trainer Days:
1386cal, 63gC, 126gP, 70gF
Well...since this site SUCKS NOW, and I can't attach a file...here's the breakdown:
Not bad, I will have to work on keeping my protein up and carbs down tho. Also, I was on a plan where I worked out with Charlie only twice a week, and now I am doing 3x a week to kickstart myself so I've consulted with the great and powerful diet wizard to see what he says about the high cal verus low cal days...dunno if it makes sense for me to each high cal three days a week or not!
Anywhoooo...that's all for now...and if I don't find an easier way to get the food info in here it may not happen...cause this typing it in crap is just annoying!!
Heheheh...I knew you'd catch me...yeah...I have been having a really hard time this summer getting my protein in, actually that is probably another factor in my failure these past 8 weeks or so. I will get some more protein in there even if it's a shake or two...maybe a protein bar...I have little ones that are only 200 cals and 20g of protein. If I have one I'll do that tonight!!!
Thanks Anne....man...do I need/miss my accountabil-a-biddies around here...
It's not about failure, but with your calories at the level you're at, you need to support your lifting. I don't know if you're still working with Alan, but if those are the numbers he's given you it's likely in your best interest to hit them.
Okay, lecture tone off, except... well real foods would be better - beef/chicken/pork/fish, cottage cheese/yogurt, eggs, you know.
Ha! I need a good lecture every now and then...and funny you should say that...I just bought pork and lots of ground turkey today for future meals this week! I have been on a shrimp kick for awhile...which is ok but only if I've had lots of protein already.
I think I'm having a little The Aoife Syndrome...I know what I have to do, now I just have to DO it.
I know, it's not always easy. The good thing is that you're now back to a more normal schedule so that should help. I admit that I've loosened up on my protein levels, but mainly to replace shakes with real food. And when I say loosened up, I mean instead of 30%+ I'm running usually 25-32%. Not to say that I don't still take protein shakes, and that I don't add protein powder into baked goods and popsicles. I'm just finding (for me) that it's a better way to go.
You can laugh hysterically as my schedule for the fall has me starting classes at 8am three days a week (means a 6am wake up).

Oooooooooooo...THAT sucks! I had one 8 O'Clock class in college, it was an Art History class, Modernity....we examined SLIDES in the DARK for over and hour...needless to say it was the class most of us caught up on our sleep in. Dayam...6am wake ups SUCK big time!! But...you're diciplined and smart so...you will kick those classes square in the behind anyway...
Food: still high on carbs, low on protein. I'll get it eventually!!!
Calories: 1493
Fats: 62.8g 37%
Carbs: 152.2g 40%
Protein: 86.2g 23%
Tomorrow is another training workout...heavy weights day...hope I have the stamina for and hour of it! I miss being able to push that heavy iron around!
Alive is a good thing. You were missed but I'm glad you had a great vacation.

Just curious what kind they are. I can always use some decent non-meat protein suggestions.

These are the ones, I don't usually eat the large ones cause they're too much, but the half sized ones are good...and I lied they're 15g of protein...but still a nice treat every once in awhile. The peanut butter ones are yummy but you gotta really like peanut butter, and the caramel ones are pretty good too! If I don't have time for an involved snack or I'm on the go, I'll rip into one!!!!

Oh and I agree with Anne... Waz up with the uber low calories?
I know I know...for my size one would think I'd need more...but really Alan and I found out...I need less. I'm thinking mostly due to the thyroid mess. I burn less calories than I thought I guess! We started at a higher level and he weaned me down. It's sometimes hard to stick to, but as long as I get my ass in gear and hit my calories and more importantly my protein macro I think I'll be ok. Now that I'm on a more regular schedule I'll be able to plan my meals easier!
Stats for this holiday weekend:
(I figure the more I post of my stats the more you'll understand why sometimes I wanna jump off a bridge with my scale!)
Monday Weight: 310 even!!!!
Workout: none rest day
Calories: 1233
Fats: 47.4
Carbs: 61.6
Protein: 141.7 (much better! and makes up for the low day!!!)
I was interested to see that my weight this morning was only 310 even seeing as yesterday night I had my cheat meal and it was carby and sodium filled sushi!!! We'll see what tomorrow brings...sometimes it takes the sushi a day or two to hit. I'm crossing my fingers tho.
In the meantime, I'm trying to set a long term goal to work towards for the next summit. I find it helps me get there if I announce it. That way I'm more accountable. When I figure out what it is, I'll get to announcing. I want it to be something completely attainable, and not something crazy that I may torture myself about if I don't hit it exactly.

Well, 2.2 pounds in three days is great. So even a slight bump up will still make it good.
Yeah, I suppose I'll take it...
