Yesterday was ...

Day 10 of Warrior's 14 Day CKD for Fat Loss

The Daily Plate is down, so I'll post my macros later
Just wasn't hungry, so I think I only hit 1700 cals, and virtually no carbs. If this doesn't throw me into keto, don't know what will!


Had to go to the Y in another town to workout, so my rests between exercises were longer than I wanted, as I had to visually and pysically hunt for my stuff, but the WORST thing was that this Y must be trying to save money on AC, cuz it was about 80 in there. (South Florida in May is about as hot as the rest of the country in July, HUMID already, so this really slucked. Betting up from a bench or seat and there's a puddle there, EW!)

Workout was Chest & Back Tension Training

BB Bench: 2x10@65
Wide Lat PD: 2x12@80
Inc. bb Press: 2x12@55
Close grip rows: 2x12@80
HIgh Pulley Xovers: 2x15@20's
Wood Chop: 2x15@20e.s.

PR's are mainly cuz they're new exercises for me.

HIIT: 30 mins.
2 min. w/u
:45@6,7, 7.1,7.2,7.3.7.4,7.5
with 1:15@4.0 in between each
then
:30@7.7,7.6,7.7,7.8,7.9,8.0
w/ 1:00- 1:15 in between each.

In that hot gym, I was a drippy, red-faced wreck, and frikkin' proud of it! Mwaaahhahah



Going away for the weekend, and I'm not sure how the PLAN is going to go. The hotel has a "Fitness Room", but we know how pitiful THOSE can be. I'm bringing my bands and running shoes, and I'm packing clean food for today and tomorrow til dinner; then plan tells me to load up for 24, so that's what I'mma gonna DO!

I really am looking forward to a baked potato, and a whole wheat mini-bagel... I've been staring at those dreamy-eyed for days now.

Enjoy the weekend AND the baked potato and bagel!!! I've been wanting a Panera Cinnamon Crunch bagel for WEEKS now and it just doesn't fit into my plan, not because I'm low carbing, but because my overall cals are pretty low and I'm just not willing to starve the rest of the day so I can have one.....BUT I have a diet break coming up very soon, and I'm gonna have me one of them bagels!!!!!

Enjoy your weekend, Sally (although you are probably gone by now). It sounds like you have things organized so you get your workout in as best you can.......and your food is in order. YUM on that baked potato and bagel!

The weekend went as well as can be expected, better in some ways.

I DID eat as planned Friday and Saturday, worked out Saturday morning with a squeaky Universal machine and nice elliptical, (nicely surprised by how many people were utilizing that tiny fitness room!), and I ate pretty well Saturday night - with the inclusion of potatoes, and my cini-mini bagel Sunday morning. It's good to be back home, tho, where control over what goes into my mouth is so much easier.

Today is my last day on Warrior's plan. High carb, low fat, with a "loaded" w/o routine. I measure tomorrow. I'm not expecting much change - it's only been 2 weeks, although it's been much longer since I measured last. I just hope the scale and bf% came down a notch or 5!

Welcome back! Sounds like a successful weekend for you... I'm dying to see your results!

How do you feel, in general? And are you going back to NROLW now?

Yesterday was...
Day 14 of Warrior's 14 Day CDK for Weight Loss

Macros were tough. I was supposed to do 2100 cals w/ 60/25/15,
but ended up 1782 cals w/ 51/23/25.

Failed. Why is low fat so HARD?

Workout was tough, too. He calls it "loaded"; I guess cuz your body is carb loaded?

Anyway, 5 sets, 2 mins between sets, 3 mins between exercises:

Squats: 6@135
Bench Press: 6@95
Deads: 6@115

That's it. I get pinched at the Y and will post measurements later.

Byts, not sure where I'm going after this. Honetsly, the end of Stage 2 and then 3 don't look real appealing. I'm investigating some options. For the rest of this week, I'm doing various stuff. Gotta figure this out. Honestly, BFL is calling me back. By 9 weeks on BFL, I was seeing great changes. Maybe it's just a better fit for my fatness...?

Gotta think...

Sally-
Your workout looks good, I am sorry you aren't liking this as much

I see how BFL is calling you back. I have done that too, years ago, but I didn't enter the competition....just to lose some poundage! I can say that it works, but now I KNOW that it was my diet that played a larger part. I lost a total of about 20lbs in that 12 weeks but I have no clue what part was fat and what was muscle?
So, I am betting that no matter what you stick with, diet will still be the key and you have proven you can do that too

My diet plan was easy (told me what to eat and I just printed it out) and with the BFL program, I was strong....I just didn't think I looked like it?? I feel like I have more muscle now on NROL4W??? I know it was a good lifting program, with the exception of it only working one body part at a time. I think now that I have done these workouts that work several body parts at the same time, that I like this better. What do you think? Which lifting do you like better?

Nik~

Hey Sally - the whole point of all this learning is that cookie-cutter workouts don't work - there's something different for everyone, right?

I agree with Nik in that I prefer NROLW lifting - for me, I never liked the BFL lifting plan that much... and honestly I didn't do so great on the nutrition either (although I probably didn't give it 110%). The cheat "day" was a disaster for me and I fell off the wagon. I now know (many years later) that I do better with small treats throughout the week (eat 90% or more clean) OR one controlled "treat" meal (MEAL, not DAY, and TREAT, not CHEAT).

Lifting though - I'm loving NRLW (although maybe not 3B so much )... I love the power moves and the full-body "macho" girl-lifting...

I just hope you'll keep logging/posting even if you don't go back to NROLW

DANG IT!!! Where are those results??? I can't wait to see how the program worked for you. It looks like you missed the macros by quite a lot. Not so much so on the percentages but on the calories. If your metabolism is even remotely normal you should see a pretty big loss from that. I guess I'll have to check back tomorrow to find out though.

You got me on that one! I have difficulty hitting the 20% so 15% would be really difficult. The thing that helps the most, though, is planning it out ahead of time so you can make the tweaks work. Then you have to stick with your menu for the day. It's very frustrating, though, isn't it?

Sally, I said this before........You gotta do, what ya gotta do! If that is BFL, then do the program again and see what happens. You can still post here in the log and get our support no matter what program you are doing!

Well...

The good news is I lost 3.5 lbs in 14 days.

The bad news is that's still a couple over where I began 2.5 months ago.

More bad news: I've only lost 1.25", nearly all in my legs.

More goodnews: I am down 3% bf (26.5), pinched by the same gal (til I'm bruised). I can't understand how that can be . Shouldn't I have lost inches??? This whole business is, like Bytsi said, not cookie cutter and VERY confusing.

All in all, I am only slightly disappointed. I worked really hard in the gym, pushed myself on cardio days when I was supposed to, breathed pretty hard for an hour for LISS days... I KNOW I did my best. Nutrition-wise, I learned a LOT, and succeeded most days, so I think it was a worthwhile endeavor.

And, I KNOW this is a process. A long process. I've only just begun, really.

I haven't had time to read and think about programs/switching yet. I'll get on that now. Just had to post. I really had wonderful success with BFL - wish I could find a way to post the photo... scanner isn't working, and the photo is stored as a document. Any ideas?

Whatever I do, I'm not leaving this log. I like having the support of you guys, Bytsi, Steph, Pauline, Nikster, Dilly, and Karla. Plus, I've worked hard, and enjoy looking back and reading about it .

you could try posting here as an attachment - if you use the advanced button on new post you will see the familiar paperclip
it will show in the body as a link to the attachment rather than as a picture in the body - but it might accomplish what you want.

I think you should be very happy, Sally. The scale moved DESPITE those hard workouts you are doing. Most of the time when I up my workouts I retain water and don't see that scale move at all.

I'm not good at all the science behind this......that's why I have Leigh, but I'm sure someone will pipe in with why you wouldn't have lost inches along with the bf %. I'll be interested to know this, too.

Glad you're sticking around!

3.5# in 2 weeks is GREAT!!! What were you hoping for (realistically)??? You learned a lot, worked out hard, and MADE PROGRESS.

C'mon Sally - this is GOOD! Don't be disappointed...

Lisa: Thank you for trying. I TRIED, for an hour, to get the .doc to go as an attachment, but it was too big, no matter how I manipulated it. Don't know.

Stephanie: I am so grateful to have you checking in on me. And, I know you're right: I should be happy. WHY oh why can't this be enough. I love it around here!

Oh, beautiful hamster girl, I wish I could be satisfied. Truth: I have more in me than this program thus far. I am big, peasant-legged, and strong for a reason. There is more for me to do.

My brain hurts. Wish I could call it DOMS!

Have you taken pictures?????? Calipers, scales and tape measures sometimes don't show the things that before and after pictures show. This german girl knows that all too well

I know what you mean about the support!! I couldn't make it through a workout day like today without knowing you all would be here to see me through.

I'm working on the whole calorie range/macros ratios myself. I know you'll come up with a lifting/exercise and nutrition plan that works best for you!! In the mean time, we can all learn together.

I have no clue what the advanced button on new post and paper clip thingie is.

3.5 lbs in two weeks is actually FANTASTIC results!!!! And one thing a very wise person (Leigh Peele!) said to me - we NEVER lose weight the way we THINK we should!!! I can work really hard all week, be 100% on my nutrition, and expect to lose 2 lbs - and either not lose anything, or maybe a measly .5 lbs.....WTH??? But I've realized that just because I think I was SUPPOSED to lose 2 lbs this week doesn't mean I'm gonna! This is another reason why Leigh has BANNED ME FROM THE SCALE!!! It eventually all evens out - it just takes time, patience and consistency - and you can do it!!!

And I'm GLAD you aren't leaving!!!!

Uh not only 3.5 acutal lbs but BF% as well. Who the hell cares about the inches? The trend is on the down and that is what counts. Don't get all caught up in the details if the trend is happening correctly. Generally speaking I see decent results of my diet in 5-8 weeks and not before. I don't really care about that. I only care about the trend.

I know how it can be to be unhappy with results, as well as combining it with past numbers. It's a good loss, not just the weight, but the body fat % is excellent. I think you got wonderful results. Perhaps if enough of us tell you that you might believe it a little yourself.

Wow, Girl. Your results are really pretty fantastic. The fact that you dropped that much BF alone, is phenomenal. I'll be keeping an eye on what you decide to do next. I am in a similar boat, not sure which way to go.

Default New Challenge

Thanks for the comments, guys. After much reading and introspection, I've come up with a plan for the summer. This is very personal, not meant for anyone but me, based on my past experiences with various programs, what worked, what didn't, and how MY life is unfolding right now.

I haven't perfected some of the phases, and especially look for input on the "Ab Intensive, Stage 2". I'm seeking combo exercises to use with the cable machine and BOSU. (Especially in need of combo moves for legs).I like hanging out there in my gym, and nobody else uses it much, except the trainers, and they aren't typically there when I am.



I start today!

You've put a lot of thought into this Sally! What is your exercise program for stage 1? BFL or ??? Do you have a kcal goal, or just small meals and hitting macros?

I only see chest and arms on Tuesday, nothing for Thurs/Sat - do you have any thoughts yet? What about doing NROLW stage 1, for example - it's a good solid workout... or something from NROL? Pushups, rows, squats & lunges... You can lunge with one foot on the bosu, same for squatting... lat pulldowns or chinups?

I'm not sure of the question. Are you looking for more variety of exercises that emphasize working the abs?
planks, side-planks, pallof presses, windmills, Turkish Getups, overhead squats ...

pull-throughs on the low cable for legs comes to mind for your criteria
