Newbie to TNT, Adam was nice enough to welcome me to his little world. I like the intuitiveness of the eating style, although I'm sure Jonathan will have me on a more "set" schedule eventually. We'll see how it goes.

Never rock climbed, just something I think would be fun to try. The local facility is supposed to be awesome, but expensive. So it will be a little easier on my pocketbook to take the class through the comm. college.

My kickboxing gym is just that -- martial arts and heavy bag classes. I used to teach Turbo Kick for 24HR but that's completely lame in comparison. It's so much diff't actually hitting and kicking something as opposed to punching the air

Have you done much rock climbing? I get free rock time at my club but I have yet to take the intro class and learn to belay (so dh & I wouldn't have to pay for a belayer). It looks like fun, but...

The other classes sound good too. My club/s are so far behind the good stuff. There is a kickboxing class but it's so full that the ladies (mainly) are barely able to extend their arms (I've had to go in to get moms before & it's dangerous!)

Jumping rope really is fun! It's not something I normally would have thought of, but it's catchy. (Jill's the champion though!)

I have such a reputation for jumping rope...and I've been doing it for less than 2 months! I love it though...so much more fun that running.

Agreed! Maybe it's because you *could* stop at any time. With running, you can stop, but you still have to get back home.

Hey crazy lady! I am back!

Sorry to see you couldn't get into African dance (I know you were looking forward to that) but the swimming sounds great!

TNT, huh? I feel so out of it...I must go see what is going on 'round here!

Have a great Friday!

I would never throw tomatoes at you, Jen... I enjoy them on my salads far too much to waste 'em.

The basic gist is in the thread and you can look at the Adam's Diet sticky in the Nutrition section -- they are very similar

ljk · 05-26-2007, 06:02 PM

thanks, that thread says nothign though...just that its good?

Off day today

*Not much planned today just takin' it easy.

*Been feeling surprisingly energetic despite the dietary changes over the last 4-5 days.

*Excited to start Phase 8 tomorrow and see what Jonathan has in store for me :p

msmozrt · 05-27-2007, 09:57 AM

I'm gonna keep it simple and post my goals -- if someone wants to figure out the blocks go for it -- I'm really just happy for the challenge and don't care about winning anything.

Nutrition goal:

Following TNT Plan C going for 90% compliance. I've been on a roll lately so this should be pretty straightforward. When I do have free meals my goal is to keep them under control and enjoy something I'm craving instead of shovelling stuff in my mouth for fear of future famine.

Fitness goal:

*Sticking with my 3 day full body split which I love.
*Attend class at my kickboxing gym 3x/week (sometimes more because I love it).
*I will also complete an 8-week "swimming for fitness" course at the local comm. college during the challenge period. My goal is to not miss any of the 16 sessions.
*Foam roll on a daily basis

Personal Goal:

*To continue to get leaner and maintain my healthy relationship with dieting/training without being overly obsessive. I'm not going to attach any hard and fast numbers to this, but I would like to start maintaining at 135.

*Read a book atleast 3x/week.

*Sit at my dining room table when I eat my meals (except for meals when I'm out working). This recent change that I've implemented has really helped me to start enjoying my meals and is much more relaxing than eating in front of the TV.

*Just say "Oh well" to things that disappoint me....

Competitive Goal:

Hmm...I like this idea, just don't know what I'll be doing yet. So this category is "To Be Determined"

Looks like a plan. Good luck!
