Thanks, Jane. Stage 1 definitely helped me be ready for this exercise, as well as the squats, for sure.

Were you able to walk outta the gym after that workout without cryin??? NICE WORK!!!
Yes, but barely. LOL Today is a totally different story.

Man-that is an awesome workout! Yay for you on the BB lunges and the Sumo Squats! Sounds like Christian is doing right by you, and I can almost hear the excitement just reading what you typed.
Thank you!

Well, I am feeling some major DOMS today, and I mean major. LOL I did 20 minutes of SS cardio last night, because I was getting pretty tight and I was trying to cut back a little on the soreness I would be feeling today, so I can't imagine how I would be feeling, had I not done that.
It is a goood hurt, especially in the bootay area. I just keep thinking about new jeans to get me through.

Need to update my log. I still have some DOMS going on, but nothing like I have had the past 2 days. So, I have not done my workout B. I will do it tonight either at the gym (weather permitting, daycare) or at home. We went out last weekend and got a new oly bar, for the new bench/squat rack, so I am anxious to play with the new toy.
1/20 - 35 minutes on the eliptical, trying to loosen up my legs
1/21 - 30 minutes on the AMT, intervals

My food is on, which is good. I have cut out all meat but chicken and fish. I'm working on cutting those out, but just need to get prepared and get my butt to the grocery store.
I can really feel some changes going on with my body, good ones. No changes on the scale, but that is ok.

Oh and I met a gym friend! Yay! She works with the same trainer and has a very similar build to me. She's the same height and even has some metal in her left ankle, like I do. Anyways, I know my trainer probably set it up, but she struck up a conversation with me and gave me some great pointers. She has lost a lot of weight and looks great.

Not vegan, but I am working back into vegetarian. Pretty much the meat thing. I did for a year and then fell out of it.
So, needless to say I just need to have a plan when I go to the store to make sure I get my protein. I like beans, so that helps.

I can't explain how it works, but rolling sore muscles on a foam roller somehow gets rid of those nasty DOMS for me...Just a thought

I think this got it's start during the South Beach Diet hype - we've actually had it a few times - it's pretty darn tasty!

Chocolate bean cake

15 oz (1 can) black beans, drained and rinsed
4 large eggs, seperated
1- 1 1/2 cups splenda (depending on how sweet you like it)
3 TBSP baking cocoa
2 TBSP strong coffee
1 Tsp baking powder
2 TBSP smart spread or canola oil (or you can use applesauce!)
1 Tsp vanilla extract
2 TBSP chopped walnuts or hazelnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 F
Prepare a 8x8 baking pan by spraying with PAM butter spray

Blend the egg yolks, splenda, baking powder, smart balance (or oil) vanilla, coffee & cocoa in a blender or with a stick blender.
Add the rinsed beans, puree until smooth.
Transfer bean mixture to a bowl if using the mixer.

In a sep. bowl whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Mix 1/3 of the egg whites into the bean mixture to lighten the bean mix. Fold in the remaining egg whites in two portions. It's ok if some white streaks remain in the batter.
Pour the batter into the baking dish. Sprinkle top with chopped nuts if desired. Tap the pan on the counter a couple of times to release any air pockets.
Bake at 350 F for 35-40 min or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool 10 minutes before slicing.
Makes 16 2"x2" servings

Per serving: 48 calories, Carbs 4.5g, Protein 2.9g, Fiber 1.0g, Fat 1.7g, sFat 0.5g (I have NOT verified the nutritional info!)

Variations:
Chocolate peanut butter: add 2 TBSP natty PB to the bean mixture. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts if desired.

Chocolate hazelnut: Add 1 TBSP sf hazelnut syrup or 1/4 tsp hazelnut extract to the bean mix.

Note: Coffee enhances the flavor of chocolate and makes it more chocolately, you don't taste the coffee.

Cream cheese frosting for the bean cake:
4 oz cream cheese (lf or ff)
3-4 TBSP splenda
2 Tbsp sf vanilla syrup
4 TBSP natty PB

-you can add or substract according to your taste!-

Mix all together in a cup until creamy. Store covered in fridge until ready to use. Spread on cake piece by piece.

I have read about these and if I am going to continue working with him, I think I need to purchase said item. Thanks for the reminder!


Yum, Tracey!

Thank you so much for posting that. You rock! I will definitely be trying this. Yum. I think I may have all the ingredients, too.

I appreciate it, greatly.

OMG!! that squat workout reminds me of the ones my trainer has me do. The DOMs stays with my quads for almost a full week after that. I have to grab the walls when I sit on the toilet to keep from falling in. I suspect you feel the same way now too. After shoulder days I always wake up in the middle of the night from the soreness in my pecs. I have dreams that I was in a car accident.

LOL! Yes, the girl I was talking with that works with him, says that she does legs on Mondays and it isn't unusual for her to feel DOMs Friday!

Looking forward to shoulders! :P

Ginger, great workouts! Walking lunges and the one-legged work in stage 2 are quite a combo for DOMS.

Hi Karen,
You aren't kidding! LOL I keep telling myself that shorts season will be here and I will be very happy I am doing this.

Hi Mel,
Thanks for stopping by. Stage 2 has forced me to create new and improved cuss words to mutter during the workouts.

All kidding aside, I LOVE working my legs, I really do. I just have to say, because I never thought I would and really, really mean it.

I did workout B #1, Stage 2 last night and will post it, after I get back from the gym.

My trainer officially has my copy of NROL4W in his possession. I wanted him to see the workouts I am doing, when not with him and to look over the nutrition part. I think if he has a better understanding of what I am doing, that will help.
He did offer to write me up some workouts to do on the days when I am not working with him.
I also will be working with him 2 days a week, for awhile. I went ahead and got a package, plus when $$ allows I will throw on some extra sessions.

How many sessions does the package get you? Twice a week is going to be really nice, but will probably go through those sessions pretty quickly.

Hi Tom,
I have 2 separate things going on. I got a package that gives me 1 session a week, for a year. On top of that, I bought a block of 10 sessions which I plan to do from time to time, when the money allows. I haven't touched either package yet, because I had some sessions just sitting there. All in all, it will be a good thing. Those extra sessions are what will get me that extra session per week, which is what I think will really help me see results.

I am starting to love the feeling of DOMs. When I first started working out I never got them but since starting to lift heavy they are now a normal part of my every day life. I grunted and groaned all day long yesterday whenever I sat down or had to step up. Sort of reminded me of my grandpa. (god rest his soul)

Those workouts look crazy! I'm not sure how you're walking after all that. I think I'd be doing more than just cursing...

I love this feeling too but sometimes I wonder about it.
The other day after a lifting session I went grocery shopping and could barely lift the bags! I felt as feeble as a 97-lb weakling! Which was totally ironic, of course.
It almost makes me wonder about the daily functionality of working out so hard. Are some people just sore all the time, if they're giving their all 100% of the time during workouts?

I have a love/hate relationship with them.

I love them. I am usually smiling while cussing! I feel strong and I know they are doing my body good.
I've been technically working out for a while and I think the key is really listening to my body. If I need a day off, I take it. But, I am really enjoying these challenging workouts. They are different and that helps me with my workout ADD.
I need to update my workouts and will do that here in a bit.

I hear you!
That is me right now and I am sure it will get worse. Today was chest/triceps and it's somewhat difficult to even type. LOL

Hey Ginger-

Great workouts! The 100 lb wide-grip deads off a box is super strong! I hate those things. And good job on resisting the temptations at restaurants. That is definitely one of my weaknesses.

Have fun at the Arnold Classic!
