Ok I have been in a rut for about 5 months now. I had stopped working out, and slacked greatly on all the diet improvements I had accomplished. I had lost 12 lbs over the summer and when school started I have now gained 10lbs back. I am very dissapointed in myself and am sick of it. No Excuses! I am determined to get my progress back! Full steam ahead!
To help motivate me I am posting my before pic where I was at 140lbs or so. To my current pics at about 125lbs. I am not at concerned with my weight as I am with losing fat and gaining muscle. Sorry the camera was unstable and the pics are a bit crooked.
You too no slacking we are watching.. you have made some awesomw progress already and it can only get better, so keep moving. You are doing great [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
thanks guys! I really did great last summer, I know what I need to do to get back into it. Now thanks to some suggestions on other threads I have more power behind my efforts. I just have to get the screws tightened back down on the will power.
Ok I don't have a training log yet but I will work one up tomorrow. I have scheduled around my work days so I am doing:
Sunday-weights
Monday HIIT
Tuesday rest
I thought I would do upper body weights one day of the weekend and Lower body the other weekend day. Wednesday Full body weights...How does that sound? Joe thought I should do full body weights each weight day. Only problem is that I work some Saturdays (10hour days) so I wouldn't necessarily be able to maintain that.
Thank you so much for the support! I am fully motivated.
And thanks for the compliment on my suit, Cappy!
it's kinda sad but I thought "well that's a cute two piece" too.
big gains already. with your man handy for help and advise you're really in a good environment to do whatever you want to do. remember that it's ok to miss a workout now and then, you're a big girl with big girl obligations. if you miss one just do it on your next scheduled workout day...no biggie.
Well, I guess that's true, gobbla, as long as you don't mind having your a$$ kicked by the IMLOD! Personally, I prefer to make sure I DON'T miss a workout for that very reason. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
OMG the first day that I decided not to allow any fundging on my strive for healthy eating we had a birthday and an office meeting...I got a spinach salad with veggies and NO dressing, and then they brought out the BEST LOOKING HOMEMADE CHEESE CAKE I HAVE EVER SEEN complete with the cherry topping! That is my ultimate all time weakness! I didn't have any, even after everyone else went home and I was alone with it. I never even tasted it!
You're stronger person than me. Yesterdy was my sons birthday and he requested sundae's. You guessed it. I'm about to have to go workout ~1,000,000 extra calories that a good bannana split has in it.
