DAMN BOY! You made me wait ALL DAY for you to get the news!! :D


I'm tired a bit today though, but it's not from lack of sleep or getting up early, I think it's the medication they gave me for my foot. Causes drowsiness. :sleepy:

I have a huge smile on my face now though! Thanks! :)

Sorry, came as fast as I could. It's Spidey's fault!

MAY 3 (Score 97):
no cheat meals, good cardio session, good biceps & triceps workout ( I've missed yesterday's workout) and good 5 clean meals.
I'm going out now , hopefully not to grab any junk.. :tu:
hope you didn't:)

There goes a point!
The last :mad: I think I'll make sure to have done meals in the fridge from now on.
WHAT? :spank::spank::spank: weren't you the one telling us not to lose any at the beginning?

hope you didn't:)


WHAT? :spank::spank::spank: weren't you the one telling us not to lose any at the beginning?

yes, and I still am!
thing is, my mis-meal was due to poor planning and not due to giving into temptations. plus, I at least made sure I got something that matched my macros. and I really needed my carbs post workout.
so it was a choice between two evils and I chose to eat and unfortunatly lose a point, but it was the good choice to make :nod:
yes, better was to have prepared food... I'll do that from now on. I just didn't count on it. :(

EEEEE!!

Where are you!?! :spaz:

I did it! I made it to the gym before work early this morning, FINALLY! :p

It was really hard, I was soooo tired. But I feel like a Superstar now!! :cool:

I can't beleive how crowded the pool was that early! :)

Congrats!! :tu:

This afternoon/evening was awesome. I got a chance to play some ultimate frisbee and I'm so exhausted right now. We play on a fifty yard field and I'm guessing I spent 25% of that time sprinting at close to full speed, 50% of it jogging at a pretty hard pace, 20% walking at a decent clip and the other 5% laying flat on my back after diving for bad throws. :lol:

According to one calculator, I burned a little over 500 calories in that time span. Awesome cardio workout!

BTW, congrats to everyone! This is shaping up to be quite the challenge. Together, we shall be triumphant! :tucool:

You can count it as a HIIT workout :tucool:

I agree, this month will be good :cool:

Hi hi. Darvonia (http://forums.johnstonefitness.com/member.php?u=19151) the morning workout can only get easier once you've made the first move. I used to think that it's impossible as well. But it gets easier each time you set the alarm and hop out of bed.

I'm finding another obstables to working out. The reading of the posts hahaha. A few days before I woke up and start reading the posts and nearly miss my morning workout. :spaz: Juz kiddin'

that sounds awesome, but I gotta ask, whats ultimate Frisbee?

It's best described as soccer played with a frisbee. It starts with one team (usually 7-11 per team) taking the disc and moving it upfield. You can only take two steps after catching the disc, so it requires players to constantly get open. If a throw is dropped/not caught, the disc is turned over to the other team at the point of the drop. Scoring happens when you catch the disc inside of an endzone like in football. Each score is 1 point.

So I decided that I should show you folks my Friday morning challenge. You'll have to bear with my poor picture taking skills.

This is what I see right outside my office door every Friday:

You may not see them clearly, but those are croissants towards the top, which are my biggest temptation.

Now.

This is what I eat after getting in from the gym, along with my Nitrean shake:

oh you poor thing:eek: and yout don't take any? :claplow::bow:

oh you poor thing:eek: and yout don't take any? :claplow::bow:

A couple things about me resisting this particular temptation.

1) Donuts are great. Back in the day, I could put em away like no one else. But nowadays, I just don't really want them. It's really easy for me to pass on the donuts and bagels, luckily ;)

2) The croissants are out of this world delicious. Our office gets all of these goodies from a local bakery, so it's not some dunkin donuts crap. I'd wager that there's a stick of butter in each croissant, they're so good. What keeps me from grabbing one, though, is that I get my workouts done in the morning. This way, if I ate one, I'd feel like I reversed all the effort I put in a couple hours ago. Works for me, so that's what I go with ;)

all aside, i don't think i could ever resist those chocolate covered donates...wait! is there one half-eaten left in the box?!:eek: yuck! now, THAT would keep me away:lol:

all aside, i don't think i could ever resist those chocolate covered donates...wait! is there one half-eaten left in the box?!:eek: yuck! now, THAT would keep me away:lol:

I swear it wasn't me who did that. If I was gonna have to give up a point, I sure as heck wouldn't eat just half a donut :madpimp:

Wouldn't have bugged me much, never ate donuts with my old 'diet'.

But, thats pretty awesome sticking to your guns and not diving head first into the box of croissants.

Awesome!!+

:tucool:

All that food talk made me hugry. So instead of feasting on Lays,
I just made some chinese cabbage and chicken.
Both stir fried in a wok with some olive oil, white pepper, salt, garlic and vegeta (croatian spices). It was de-li-cious!:eat:

all aside, i don't think i could ever resist those chocolate covered donates...wait! is there one half-eaten left in the box?!:eek: yuck! now, THAT would keep me away:lol:

I'm guessing that was someone's idea of willpower. I can't quite keep myself from eating a whole one, but I can break it in half and only eat part of one......

weak. Go find that person and smack them for me.

I have that same feeling. Except I get it if I workout reguarly. It feels like it's a waste of effort. Works great for me, too! :tucool:
Just be careful that your mind doesn't go jedi-mind trick on ya. "I did the workout, I deserve that donut. ;)

I've been kind of fired up this morning about a variety of things, so my apologies.

Like the guy in the beginners forum who wants an answer to why things aren't working for him, when he says that it's "Just too hard" to get up in the morning to work out.

2 things that will piss me off in the morning: Excuses and not taking responsibility for your own actions. :mad:

I need to go punch a heavy bag for a half hour or so. :bang:

I rarely feel that way. I'm feast or famine. If I've been consistent w/ the exercise, I stay consistent w/ food. Until I stop for awhile. "Oh, I can have that croissant, it's not like I've been working out this week" Go figure.

The quality of my food intake is directly correlated to my exercise. As long as I hit the gym/ride my bike, my food choices are golden :)

I used to be famous for this one:

Yeah, kind of like a couple friends of mine that are all interested in going to the pool. I ask them "so how many lengths do you do?" they say "oh, we just sit in the hot tub".

*shrug* When I get ripped they'll start asking questions and I'll just tell them "actually exercise and stop eating fast food all the time".

Of course, they're in equal or better shape than me, but I'm catching up at an alarming rate ;)

Same here! Unfortunately if I don't exercise etc, my food choices are not that good :blank: For some reason I have the all or nothing attitude. :rolleyes:

On that note: did you swim/workout/get up early today? :)

And well, Good Morning. (for me, my time.....*yawn*..sip, sip on coffee)

Oh your evil! :mad: NO! (I will lose a point for not going early).

I will go on my lunch, I'm going to weight lift today. I've been reading a lot and it seems to be usually 2nd on the list behind diet/nutrition in benefits. Plus, I love to weight lift (free weights).:bb:

I didn't get to bed until 3am. Can you believe that! I never go to bed that late! I feel great though. I think I do better with less than 8 hours of sleep. Like about 6. :D

I will have temptations this weekend too! It's Cinco De Mayo Saturday and my friends and I have plans. Tonight is Jazz Night and a fancy place in town is hosting it with wine and appetizers. Yikes, I will have to stay focused. I will be tested!

From the April challenge, I definitely saw weekends were my weak spot. I think I'm going to try and eat something healthy before I go out so I don't have such a huge temptation.

Such inspiration coming from you! :blank: :spank:

I'm not saying I CAN'T make it this weekend without messing up, just that it won't be a "walk in the park" for me like some 'perfect' people on here...no names...they might be in a personal competition with each other....:whistle: :neener:

Yep, yep, I made all my workouts for M-F (I will probably walk the coastal trail this weekend determined by my foot) and I haven't used a cheat day.

You know what, all this talk is making me want to especially not mess up now and fall into old bad habits. :mad:
Although Cinco De Mayo is all about the margaritas! :confused:

Wait, wait....this goes back to that saying, "The desire to change has to be greater than the one to stay the same."

(or something like that)

You're definitely not alone in that regard. Weekdays are easy for a log of us, cuz we've developed our weekday routine. Weekends are a lot more open ended, especially when you add in the friend-factor. Sounds like you have a plan. Before I head out to the pub tonight, I'll be grabbing my own dinner first, too :tucool:

I think the saying is "how badly do I want that margarita" ;)
Seriously though. Keeping fit, eating right, exercising is all good. But some people forget to actually live and obsess about 2 grams of oatmel. :)
It's finding the balance between these two that's important IMO: live healthy, but especially LIVE your life.

The friend-factor, yeah, I never really know what everyone is doing for the weekend and what I'll be facing. Although, I have to admit, some of my friends are into working out and healthy. But most are already fit, so they don't stress on the weekend drinks, etc. They are just "maintaining" not making "changes".

The goal at the end of the summer here is this 27 mile hike the guys want all of us to do. If I don't get into better shape, I'm going to die! :eek: I can't be the "whiner" in the group on this journey! :p

In any case

I've been reading my challengers day-by-day lists here, and I have to say there's some serious goading going on there. I hear tales of "Falhurk soup" and "Cant let that kitty beat me". I just wanted to give a message to my would-be challengers.

I WILL BREAK YOU!

The challenge or bet if you will is: "Whoever has the lowest amount of points at the end of May has to post a picture of "I lost the bet" written in body paint on their chest."

Though, I'm not sure Buttersweet agreed to that part. lol, not that I would complain if she had.

I think she just wants to try and beat me (which wont happen because you can't beat perfection) ;)

I'm going to be staying overnight at a friend's tomorrow so I won't be able to do my update for Saturday until Sunday afternoon. I will only deduct for a missed update if I don't do it by 6pm Sunday. I hope that's OK with everyone :D

That sounds fine to me. It's scheduled.

I'm heading to the mainland to visit my family this weekend, which could give the opportunity for missed cardio, but based on my rules as long as I meet x requirements by Monday, that's ok. Of course, I am going to hit the gym/pool while I'm there anyways!

wow, bronze plaque thing was pretty instant. Woot!

I've just finished making a list of the die-hards and the suckas. The idea with this challenge is to keep us motivated through a regimented schedule and some public humiliation.

First, lets look at the people who are, so far 100% on target. (Granted we're only four days in, but lets look anyways).

100 Club (so far)

Not a bad list of people, some pretty solid routines and these folk are sticking to their guns.

Then, on the other end of the spectrum we have the slackers. The ones who signed up and haven't yet done anything!! These guys (and gals) need a kick in the pants to get them going and that's what I intend to do!

Now, for those of you fine folk that may have lost a couple points, I didn't make a list, though you guys are still doing a good job of keeping track of your points and putting in a good effort. Keep up the good work!!

:claphigh:

Cmon folks, only four days in, everyone can do better (except the 100 people, they rock... except for drewrockinnm and Buttersweet, they're going down.

WOW.. thanks for the effort Falhurk.
And congrats to all the 100 points holders. Way to go!

Any secrets to keeping up to your menu? I'm really bad in that area. :cry:

Personally, I just make sure that everything I can get together is ready to go the day before. So, in the daytime all I really have to do is make my protein shake before I head off to work.

That's just me though.

I've so far, been good about staying away from the bad-foods, even when they're right in front of my face :)

I'm not on any list, lost in the bureaucracy :cry:

May 03 - One of my rules is to do cardio 6 times a week. Yesterday I failed to do it, so, if I miss another cardio by Sunday, I'll have to take one point off. :scared: I intended to have a break from cardio tonight but I just didn't have the time to finish it last night. :( But I still have 100 points! :spaz:
0 [100 points]



:scared:

I changed my dietery guideline's from 1 cheat day per week to 2 moderate cheat meals per week. Theoretically I could erase my previous point deduction :evil: :lol: Of course I won't, since this happend before the change. :nono:
what is this?! you're becoming soft! it's all that WSP, not good not good:nope:
and please explain or give an example of a 'moderate' cheat meal, i'm really curious

MAY 4: ... Dun really know what to say here. Ate 1 1/2 piece of cheesecake for snack yesterday. couldn't find any good stuff in the fridge and juz have to finish the cheesecake that was made last week. Cardio as planned, missed my upper body workout-which will be done today (Sat). Haven't been keeping up with my upper body exercise for a week or so now. -_-" TIME TO GET SOME CONTROL!!!


:nod:
you have to, and you can control yourself. make some meals in advance, that way cheesecake will not be the only option. and how come you have it in the fridge in the first place? when there's some stuff like that left in my fridge, i either make my boyfriend eat it:D, or i just throw it away. those kids in Africa can not be helped by some old cheesecake, and i certainly won't be a trash bin. fill your cabinets with canned tuna and some whole wheat crackers, that way you'll always have something reasonable to eat, even if the fridge is empty. well, it's just a suggestion:)


MAY 04
No workout tonight. I had to make a speech in front of 100 people today, couldn't sleep last night, I'm beat. [100]
that reminds me of a Seinfeld's joke about number one fear:lol:


MAY 4: Tomorrow is my 3 month anniversary. I will post all kinds of info and pictures tomorrow.

it's already the 5th in Cro, so
HAPPY 3rd MONTH ANNIVERSARY ELISOPH!:claplow::claphigh::jumping:

what is this?! you're becoming soft! it's all that WSP, not good not good:nope:
and please explain or give an example of a 'moderate' cheat meal, i'm really curious

Well! I figured it's better to have 2 moderate cheat meals instead of a whole day of binging.
For example tonight: I'll go eat out to a chinese restaurant. I'll have chicken in salt and pepper and chinese brocolli in oyster sause and perhaps, if macros fit, a bit of rice. And sunday I might have chicken cocos with veggies.

This beats McDonalds super menu with chocolate, donuts and ben&jerry's all day long :nod:
So in fact, it's a much better choice!

I'm also doing it to have some latitude as far as foods when I go out.
In the end, it's about quality of life :)

Will my plan get your stamp of approval? :D

oh well, in that case congratulations on making a better choice http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/froehlich/e030.gif
when i say 'cheat day' i usually refer to one meal of a few courses, including the dessert, the rest is just regular stuff i eat on 'clean days'
i think my last visit to mcdonald's was around xmas, i don't particularly like junk food anyways, just cevape http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/bs/thumb/d/d4/Cevapi.jpg/300px-Cevapi.jpg lol

That's why I put "moderate" cheat meal :p
Cevape! :cry:
You have no idea how many I ate when I was there on vacation :lol:
I love Mickey D's :dreamy:

hahhah, well, i have to say, the last time i had them as my cheat meal, i didn't even enjoy them that much. it's as if your taste changes once you start eating clean on a regular basis, and what happens now is that i can0t even think of what i'd want to have for my cheat meal, and then i don't have any, which is good, but it leaves some kind of a gap, mentally i guess. like, when my boyfriend is eating chips, i can control the craving and i say 'you'll have those over the weekend', and then the weekend comes and i don't feel like eating them at all, but i do feel like relaxing a bit you know?

No... I enjoy my cheat meals :nod:
I do see that my taste changes. It's like you get more sensitive. Also my stomach. I remember when I was on SGX, in my 5th week or so, and I had a (cheat)meal that I'd normally have when I was in my 'bad' period. My belly couldn't handle the junk! I was quite personal with the toilet for a long time :lol: Anyways, I do enjoy my cheat meals. Just a matter of keeping my sanity.

exactly, so do you understand my pain? like, i stand in the store before all the chocolate and candy and chips and stuff, and i don't get any! but i still need them, oh, just strange, don't really know how to explain:blank:

I made the cheesecake on the over one of the weekends before the challenge started. U know how it's such a waste to let cakes go to waste. I'm stocking up nuts and fish snacks for one of those "quick" snacks time. And Buttersweet thanks for your sound advice.:tu:

Falhurk.... Thanks for sharing your experience on bad food avoidance.:bow:

oh, i do...:D

I'm stocking up nuts and fish snacks for one of those "quick" snacks time.
cottage cheese is a good option too, but you can only buy an amount at a time:) sometimes i mix it with a little peanut butter or paprika just to make a variance of tastes - it's delicious!

i'm going to try adding some berries into my cocoa-oats porridge, and see what kind of a substitute for cake it makes:)

No problem bud :)

I hate wasting food so if mine's packed and ready to go I refuse to eat something bad. Last weekend (before the challenge) I was waiting in line at McDonalds and then just walked out of the store because I didn't want to waste what I had AND because all I could think about was grease and fat lol.

It's almost 3am where I'm in and I've been going through all the post and would like to comment on some of the interesting ones.... here I go..in no particular order..


Thr, May 3: Not a good day. First, I skipped the gym because of a rib injury I suffered playing basketball. Now my ribs hurt; but did I simply use that as an excuse for skipping the gym or was I being honest with myself convincing me to not risk injury. I'll give myself the benefit of the doubt but then I went out to dinner and had beer. -2 points (98)

Fri, Mat 4: No gym again because of the rib injury however I had a few drinks. -1 point (97)

Ouch... Ribs injury sound bad.. shouldn't you check with the doctor before continuing the exercises?

MAY 4: Missed my AM cardio and PM weight training (I'm going to make them up today). Ate all meals as scheduled.
-2 points [98 points]

This sounds like a major workout coming up. Cheering you on....


MAY 3: Weight training (chest-triceps), 5 minutes on stationary bike after. 2,728 calories (2,439 allowed. Boo!), 297 grams protein (43 percent), 308 grams protein (44 percent), 38 grams fat (17 percent). Even though I didn't eat a cheat meal, I'll be hard on myself and deduct a point for going over my allowed calories. 99 points.
MAY 4: 60 minutes on fixed-handled elliptical. 1,000 estimated calories burned. 2,533 calories (2,439 allowed. I did it again.). A point off for going over my allowed calories again. 98 points.

WOW...very detailed. And definitely very disciplined. A role model here. :bow:



I am doing my bodyfat calculations with the online calculator at http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html. I know these aren't exceptionally accurate but I believe they give enough of a feel and can show progress at this stage. At 28+%, I really don't see the need for calipers and all that.

I used to use the body fat calculate from the site as well. But I noticed that there's something funny about the web display of the site. If you copy the text from the page that you've input your measurement to a text file, you're discovered that some of the boxes for measurement input don't show up. E.g. hips / calves (can't remember exactly what). That's this rough calculator using the navy method http://www.he.net/~zone/prothd2.html

I'm using both the above site and fittogether.net



MAY 1st: Evaded 24 Krispy Kreme doughnuts at work. Paid attention to hunger and ended up eating less today than planned. Did workouts :tu: 100pts.
MAY2nd: Eating was great! But failed to workout at all. 98 pts.
MAY3rd: Didn't update. No workouts again from DOMS. Need to cut back on intensity. 95 pts.
MAY4th: Good eating, but no cardio. 94pts.

Remember to eat enough and not to starve the fats :p Hope you've found a way to motivate yourself to exercise. For me, I've got my stationary bike just by my computer. Joining in the challenges help a lot :D


DAILY LOG

[Week 1]

MAY 1: Woo off to a great start. Woke up and fell back asleep, bam no morning cardio followed by a little chocolate later on and some cheese yay! /sarcasm off
-2 [98 Points]

MAY 2: Yesterday I had a great back and shoulder workout. One day I need to switch to traditional weight training though, and I can't wait! But I want to hit my goal weight before though. Would be nice to have a training partner too as I am still a newb. Did I mention I missed morning cardio too? I'm going to lower my cardio schedule a little to allow for more rest.
-1 [97 Points]

MAY 3: Got all my meals is and everything, diet was on point, but my scale weight doesn't seem to want to drop. It's very frustrating.
-0 [97 Points]

May 4: My legs are still blasted from Wednesday but I had a good tricep/shoulder workout. I can push more weight than I thought. My scale weight never seems to drop even though I feel good about the week.
-0 [97 Points]


Be patient there. If you feel good then it's a good week no matter what. Dun watch the scale too much. Get your weekly measurement and rework your strategy according to the results. All the best :D


WORKOUT SCHEDULE
Monday: Weight training: upper body
Tuesday: Weight training: lower body
Wednesday: Stationary bike, 45 mins
Thursday: Weight training: upper body
Friday: Weight training: lower body
Saturday: rest
Sunday: Mountainbike (3 hours+)


Your Sunday schedule looks pretty exciting! ;)


May 4: Got up and did the 45 min cardio this morning, even though I was sore from the 1 Mile last night. On another note, running in downtown Minneapolis, even though we have great air quality here, made my lungs burn like I had just sucked on the tailpipe of my car. Ick. Got all the food prepared and packed for the day, and ready to hit the gym on the way home. Should be in for another good day!

It will get better, guaranteed! Your talk on great air quality make me miss outdoor running... haven't been running outdoor for a very long while.



MAY 2 (Score 97): crap! that how my day started this morning,
today i really found out why you should ALWAYS do some stretches before and after a workout , whatever it is , cardio or weights.
i was enjoying my cardio session this morning, suddenly after 20 mins of LISS my calves started to hurt real bad .. i barely could complete the running. crap! that is how my day continued later on ,i found out my gym isn't working till 17:30 , and i finish my work usually at 17:00.
at first glance i thought to stay for the training, but some why all the people driving back home my way were off today, so i gave up..
and...... i missed post workout protein shake!! actually i missed a training today (-2 I'll go rough with myself on this) and a meal (-1).. bad bad way to start this challenge. :(

MAY 3 (Score 97): Do you sometimes get the feeling "life is good" and "be happy don't worry" , i usually don't,
but this morning it was different.
From the moment i woke up , i knew this day will be great, and so it was.
no cheat meals, good cardio session, good biceps & triceps workout ( I've missed yesterday's workout) and good 5 clean meals.
I'm going out now , hopefully not to grab any junk.. :tu:

MAY 4 (Score 94): Today was my day off! i really proud that i could make myself sleep 7.5 hours this night, because usually when i know that i don't have to wake up to work tomorrow, i'm spending the night off on absolutely NOTHING, falling asleep by the sun rise, and wakeup in the middle of the day,
But not this time! i went sleeping early and woke up only one hour later than i wake up in the routine.
did my nice cardio (38 mins) , but unfortunately had to miss one meal (-1) , and had a cheat meal too (another -1), and like that wasn't enough had a milkshake before bed.. damn (-1)

Hey don't be too hard on yourself. Your post is really interesting, full of energy. Keep going you'll make it! :)



DAILY LOG (Each entry will be completed the day after)

MAY 1: Went to look at a dog. Left 9 in the morning, came home just before midnight. No exercise, and the last meal of the day has to concidered a cheat. I have a dog!
-2 points [98 points]

MAY 2: Still much work with the dog. Second night sleeping on the kitchen floor in a sleeping bag. As for yesterday, I had two hours exercise, except I would have done it in an hour if he would just behave. Food was super until the last meal last night. Got my period today, at last. It should help.
-2 points [96 points]

MAY 3: Dog, dog, dog, school, dog, dog, dog. No real exercise (except training the dog to walk properly in a leash...) and a little "cheating" (wrong choices and a lil' too much...). Sleepy as #... Pardon.
-2 points [94 points]

MAY 4: I exercised more before I got a dog. What can I say, atleast I'm going to be sleeping in my own bed this weekend. If I leave him in his leash so I can go jogging (can't do that when he doesn't know how to walk with / without a leash...), he barks his lunges out. Same thing if I leave him inside. I also spend a lot of time training him. School work has been put on hold this week, but it can't continue this way. Test and an assignment due on Monday. -But I'll get better!
-2 points [92 points]

You will! But seriously, I didn't know that getting a dog can be such a trouble. One of the reasons I'm still holding on to my cats is because they don't bark :lol:


MAY 2: Had a late night last night. Didn't want to get up this morning, ESPECIALLY for a leg workout. But I John Stoned up and got out of bed and did my thing. Gonna need to get to bed early tonight if I'm gonna make it through the week. Had my scheduled cheat meal for lunch today. (100 points)
MAY 3: Did my biking. Ate my meals. Crying from DOMS from leg workout on Wed (100 points)
MAY 4: :lol: I suck. After all that bragging about avoiding donuts and croissants, I had a couple reese's peanut butter cups last night. Not really a huge deal to have a flub like that once a week, but that's still one point off for me :( -1 point, 99 points


Darn, I like the phrase "John Stoned up" :lol:. Btw, what's DOMS? I remember buttersweet saying that peanut butter is good food. So maybe that's not so bad to have them?


May 5: This sucks I missed my workout and I had another cheat meal. On the brightside we had a "surprise" bridal shower.
-2 points [97 points]

First of all congrats on your wedding :D. If I'm not mistaken bridal shower is a Scottish tradition, no? Bet you had a great time ;)


i'm in
MAY 4: after all the housework and a really demanding boxing session, I felt like 'rewarding myself', fortunately there was nothing 'rewarding' in the house, apart from Nuttela which just wasn't worth using my spare cheat snack, so I conclude:
- 0 points [100]


Good for you! :tucool: Hmm... Nuttela is sort of milk choc right? Wonder why that's no dark choc spread on sale :confused: Oh, and I'm wondering what kind of boxing are you engaging in? thai-boxing? You sound like a dedicated boxer :D


May 4: AM Weight 204.4lbs: I feel much better now that I have been back to lift some weights, plus I added 10lbs to my front squat, standing calf raise's and my stiff leg/stiff back deadlift (it was tough on that last one though cause my grip was giving out). My ass is already starting to hurt and I'm sure that by the morning my quads and hamstrings will also hurt... I know it doesn't make any difference, but oh how I love feeling that hurt :love:. Tomorrow is the weekend... this will be a tough time for me cause my schedule isn't as regimented, so my eating tends to also not be as regimented. I will not fuck up this weekend though.... I just wont :confused:
[100 points]

Keep going chap! "oh how I love feeling that hurt" ... yeah I guess all of us here do too. :lol:



May 4: [100] - did i ever tell you how much i hate squats? every time i do a squat, an angel cries. anyway, good day overall and good workout.


That's funny :lol::spaz:

Now it's 4am... Good day / night everyone :D Have a great day.

Good for you! :tucool: Hmm... Nuttela is sort of milk choc right? Wonder why that's no dark choc spread on sale :confused: Oh, and I'm wondering what kind of boxing are you engaging in? thai-boxing? You sound like a dedicated boxer :D
Nutella is a hazelnut spread with a chocolaty taste by Ferrero, mmmm, perfect filling for pancakes:drool:
I do aeroboxing, it's a lot of fun and the most demanding kind of aerobic/martial art mix I've ever tried:)




There is an actress that reminds me of you...I have to go find her name. :lol: Give me some time....
I've been thinking and thinking, cause you tricked my memory, and tonight I played my old 'aerobic' playlist, which finally brought to the surface what had been puzzling me: STUPIDISCO - the video, and then something really motivating came to mind: CALL ON ME, by Eric Prydz - I wonder how many of the guys here would join that aerobic class:confused::)
I'd post both, but I'm not sure it's appropriate.:)

I'm passing on my cheat meal tonight because we couldn't get a babysitter in time to go out for dinner plus I cooked up a bunch of eye-round steak the other day. :drool: I'm not sure but shouldn't I have 101 points for being so hardcore? Only kidding, I'm such a brown nose. :moon: But I'm not kidding about skipping my weekly cheat meal though.:eat:

eleonardo-
You can have my credit meal if you want. :D

I'd join that class! :D
the leading lady's behind is absolutely perfect, I watched the video tonight while on the elliptical and suddenly just started speeding up:) my legs are killing me:)



eleonardo-
You can have my credit meal if you want. :D
can I, can I?!:eat: I totally forgot I allowed myself only 2 cheat meals this month and only one cheat snack per week (the latter eaten on Monday - does it count since it wasn't May?:D), and tomorrow I'm going to my friends' place for lunch, and have to bring some dessert.:blank: I need to make something I'll be allowed to eat, any ideas?

Any secrets to keeping up to your menu? I'm really bad in that area. :cry:
Surround yourself in good food, and you will eat good food ;)
I cant control everything in my house because my girlfriend likes to eat allot of junk, so I just put all my food in a different cupboard and never open her "junk" cupboard. Its been so long since I opened that cupboard that its almost like it isn't there, and if I get hungry I dont even think to look in there anymore then I would in the cleaning supply cupboard. I also eat enough and spaced out so that im never really hungry. I find if I'm not hungry I don't really crave anything.

I made the cheesecake on the over one of the weekends before the challenge started. U know how it's such a waste to let cakes go to waste.
Thats how I was to, at some point I told myself I would rather waste a bit of junk then eat it (and you cant really consider cheese cake "food"). Get past the "wasting food is bad" idea and allow yourself to throw out stuff rather then eat everything.... your a human being not a trash can and you need to eat to food to fuel your body, not just because something needs to disappear, thats what the trash can is for ;) Hell it was my birthday on april 27th, my mom made me a double decker round box cake, and my girlfriend made the same sort of round box cakes, but instead of stacking them she put them side by side and iced them to look like a pair of breasts. I had one peice of my moms cake and gave what was left to my boss (his birthday was 2 days later so I gave it to him then) and ate one of the breasts with my girlfriend (that sounds kinda kinky). The other breast is sitting on the counter waiting to be thrown out, I decided it was destined for the garbage.... but I have to wait for it to get moldy first so I dont hurt my girlfriends feelings throwing it out lol.

Darn, I like the phrase "John Stoned up" :lol:. Btw, what's DOMS? I remember buttersweet saying that peanut butter is good food. So maybe that's not so bad to have them?



DOMS = Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It's that soreness you get after lifting when you've been lazy for a while ;)

Natural Peanut Butter is good for you. Reese's cups, tho, is candy, especially with the sweet, delicious chocolate coating. Ok...no more talking about Reese's cups!

Awwww that's so nice of you :heart: This only makes me want to go harder though :mad:

Surround yourself in good food, and you will eat good food ;)
I want to second this :tucool:

The opposite is true as well. Surround yourself with bad food, and you will eventually succumb to the temptations. I'll say no more.. :cool:

Most definitely! This is the reason I never have 'bad' food in the house. From experience I have learned that it's just too big of a temptation.

On that note I have to say I enjoyed this week's cheat meals :D
I love chinese food and it was truly great!

This a definite must for those of us who can pull this off. I don't have any non-clean foods in the house anymore. I live alone, tho, so I have that luxury.

Isn't it funny how now we really try to appreciate cheat meals now? There's no way that I want to have something that's not awesome when I cheat, that's why I usually make Indian food my cheat :)

HI HAMBO~~! :claphigh:
Did you run into your lover at the gym? ;)

No, no... (sigh...). I haven't seen Mr. Pouty-Face since. Poor dove, my sex-appeal must have been too intimidating for him.

last night at my friends' place I had a really 'clean' dinner (grilled chicken breast and lots of veggies), and then everyone had a piece of cake, and I just watched. So this morning my boyfriend and I were talking about how he's thinking about starting to do weight lifting again, and I said something about my diet and then he said something like: but if it takes so long and no improvement... referring to me of course:blank:
so, I'm really down now. I said this was going to be a long run for me and I'm ok with that, and I do feel much better and stronger and more fit than ever (oh, just don't say that's all that matters), but seeing some pics here, it does seem my progress is terribly slow, and I don't really know what I'm doing wrong.
I'm starting to cut on my carbs rather than good fat, and I will be buying new weights this week, and I really feel like starting that WSP (is there sth for girls?lol), just to torture my body a bit, and take myself to an edge. maybe I'm just losing my patience since, as Chris said, 'fine tuning takes more time'.:confused: yuck

rome wasn't built in a day... if you're getting that stagnant feeling, change something up!

:cry: Well I blew it and didn't update yesterday. Man weekends are hard! We ended up driving up to KC to go to the library and that is an all day adventure, but I still got my workout in when we go home :flex:

Buttersweet: I am going through the same thing, I started a "diet" at the end of January and I still haven't made any progress. But I consider it all a learning process. I now know that I can't just drop my calories down to 1200 and magically lose weight and I know that it takes a HECK of a long time to get things right afterwards! Not to mention the patience and discipline it takes to keep at it even without results on the scale! My progress pics I actually GAINED weight because I went from 1200 calories to 1600 and then to 2000 to try and kick my body into losing again. But I still see results from the exercise and I FEEL better and that is truly what counts! Men...they have a hard time thinking sometimes (no offense guys), I would just take what he said with a grain of salt, they just don't get it. LOL :D

he said something like: but if it takes so long and no improvement... referring to me of course:blank:


Wow. I'm pretty sure that I've never gotten away with something like that without getting a red mark on my face :lol:

I wish that I had some advice to give you about breaking through. Keep working hard and it's going to happen!

Hi Buttersweet. Hi sumisan. I guess first we've to identify our body types and test several food to see how our body respond to them. I've always been to true to my exercise but my weight didn't drop as I dun watch my diet. I think having clean food has to go in direction of portions. I've been exercising constantly since end of last year( was 55kg then) and until April I was still fluctuating on the 54kg mark. This week I was down to 53.2kg. (there was a little muscle loss('bout 0.08kg) I guess well portioned food is really the key to success :D.

But wait!(No promos...I'm not selling any stuff here..) Do you gals see any results in the clothes that you're wearing? What about body fat, is it getting lower? I'm sure you can find some results somewhere that would help to show/indicate your progress?

Men...they have a hard time thinking sometimes (no offense guys), I would just take what he said with a grain of salt, they just don't get it. LOL :D
:lol: well, i suppose since he sees me every day it's just as hard for him to see progress as it is for me:) but, white lies would be ok from time to time:lol: I don't know, i guess it's just bad weather

rome wasn't built in a day... if you're getting that stagnant feeling, change something up!
I set my diet and exercise program at the beginning of April and after a lot of research. I guess adding heavier weight would be the most beneficial, so I'll look into that over the weekend. When it comes to the diet, I'm going to cut on carbs and see what happens.

Wow. I'm pretty sure that I've never gotten away with something like that without getting a red mark on my face :lol:

I wish that I had some advice to give you about breaking through. Keep working hard and it's going to happen!
tnx rapp:) but I'm not slapping my guy just for being honest:nope:

Do you gals see any results in the clothes that you're wearing?
can't say really, some I guess, jeans are not that tight anymore:lol:, but there's still some spilling of fat over them:D

What about body fat, is it getting lower?
there's no way I can measure that at the moment, have no caliper, and I only took my measures with the tape last week so...:blank:
I guess I just need to have more patience, but thanks guys and girls:tucool:

I use my home scales body fat % and also a website online. (http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html?#accurate)

Both show a loss of about 4% in the last 90 days so I am happy with that. Clothes fit better and I feel better :) Like I said its the little things that we have to go by :) I know I am gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time, yeah the scale isnt dropping but who cares. It will eventually, but I agree, I am starting week 2 of super clean eating. I am hoping it will be what tips the scale for me, for some its about calories in and out but for me it seems MUCH more complicated LOL

I use my home scales body fat % and also a website online. (http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html?#accurate)

Buttersweet (I kept thinking of buttercup :lol:)! I juz msg sumisan about the at healthcenter. I've used that calculator before but something seems amiss to me when I'm using it. If you copy the text that shows your final results onto the notepad. Do you find some measurement missing? I can't really remember what but for me hip, calves, and a few things seems to be missing. Might be the display setting in my computer or something.

At the moment I'm using fittogether.net. But the site doesn't tell you which method it's using to do the calculator. That's one with the US Navy method - http://www.he.net/~zone/prothd2.html

the latter gave me about 29% which I don't think is possible, and the @healthcenter gave me about 23% which is closer to what i got when used some other online calculator (I'll post the url as soon as get on my comp)

I didn't really get the copy-paste part, is that your PC journal or what?
in any case, I had to translate cm into inches and the article about the accuracy of this calculator says:
People who are very, very fit can get numbers 3 to 5 percent higher than their true percent body fat.
Conversely, if a person is skinny but not fit, this body fat test may yield a number 3 to 5 percent lower than his or her true percent body fat.

so, i'm still in the dark:lol:

What I meant is some display problem @healthcenter. The site doesn't seem to display every boxes that need measurement input. For example, after putting in your weight, age then page 2. Was there a box for you to input waist measurement? For me there's only hips measurement.

Then when you reached the result page. Tried highlight the whole page, open notepad program and paste the text on a blank note. There'll be something like

Age: xx
Weight:xx
Hips:xx
Waist:0 (coz I didn't get to put anything as I can't see the input box)

I Pm's you back :) I am testing a copy and paste to notepad :) Well the results copied fine, but the results don't show the measurements on the site for me. You enter those in and get redirected off that page to the results page.

Your Results

You have 28.4% body fat.

You have 51.7 Pounds of fat and 130.3 Pounds of lean (muscle, bone, body water).

^ thats all it shows me in the results and I think thats the way its supposed to be?

hmm that is weird, on the second page its just hips then the THIRD has waist, thigh, calf and wrist, then the fourth page is the results... it must be skipping page 3!

Hmm... No measurements written there in my case as well. But looking at the measurements listed from the pasted text that I've copied from the site, I didn't get to input waist and forearm which I think is quite important in the bodyfat calculation. As I've mentioned, I didn't see the input box for waist and forearm. Did you get to input all these measurement?

Now, use a cloth tape measure to measure the circumference of the areas listed below. Enter the numbers in the appropriate box.
Waist: in.
Hips: in.

For the remaining measurements use your dominant side. Measure the circumference of the areas listed below.

Forearm: in.
Calf: in.
Thigh: in.
Wrist: in.

You know, I honestly owe a debt of gratitude to my neighbors for keeping me on my meal plan. Their food smells, in a word, vile. They should capture that smell and market it as an appetite suppressant. They would make a fortune. The only thing tempting me right now is a heart-shot of atropine. Seriously, what is that STINK?! Do you guys actually eat that?!!

:morning: g'morning

coffee:D
morning E
i'm just waiting my new boss to pick me up and to go to work (and it's already 11) hmmm, what is he thinking? I have whole wheat bagel with peanut butter sandwich in my bag and some whole wheat crackers - don't want to lose points just yes, but it seems I'm going to have to wake up at about 6 every morning and that really sucks, because I'll be back at home at around 5pm or 6pm and then run to the gym... when am I going to eat a proper warm meal?:blank:

Hambo, I feel your pain, my neighbours have no tasting buds eather:D

Hi hi. Good day everyone. It's afternoon here. I'm watching the Australian biggest loser season 1 :D. These "movies" are rather motivating at one point of the time. I've watched the US Biggest loser season 2&3 and my... what a change. I like the song Heather Small - Proud, biggest loser theme song :spaz:

? :)Did you forget about the parallel challenge between Falhurk and drewrockinmn? :confused:

Talked to my old friend and former roommate last night. He's getting married (they're eloping to the dominican republic, lucky bastard) and will be having a "reception party" on June 2nd. Looks like I have something a little more concrete to work towards. Thankfully it's not in May, cuz that day is going to be one big giant cheat day for me :lol:

I've just received those commercialized email from one of the site I've subscribed. This is from Jillian, one of the ex-trainer in biggest loser. The phase is quite catching so I'll post it here....

Out of Sight, Out of Mind (and Mouth!)

P.S: I guess if we can't get it out of mind then the best approach is not to see it at all :nono:

Did you forget about the parallel challenge between Falhurk and drewrockinmn? :confused:

Ohh no I didn't, but I didn't check the scores yet.
But I'm guessing Falhurk is ahead :rolleyes:

Usually, I'd be cocky and stuff... But, I just bought a new bike and decided it would be a good idea to replace my walk with biking. The thing I MIGHT have underestimated is that the ENTIRE way there is uphill. Plus, I also have to go a few extra kilometers.

*thud*

*wheeze*

It was quicker.. Not anywhere even close to easier but quicker.

Where the hell is drew anyways? He's supposed to be kicking my ass!!

i lost two points yesterday. it was more demoralizing than i thought it would be, because now i have to look at a number that isn't 100 for the rest of the month :(

/sad

If it weren't for the Fahlurk's challenge, I'd lose some points on purpose just to make you see we're all the same, but I can't and won't be beaten by a cat!:D It's not a private club, it's just extra pressure for me, which I don't think I'm up to at the moment, but struggling...

I like shopping for heavier weight, and i think i'll be doing it this weekend, can0t wait:D

I've been a very selfish person, it seems I still have all my points and have been skipping weekly cheat meals and rest days. So this weekend in honor of the women in my life, my wife and two daughters, I will bend a little bit and have a cheat meal. I've committed myself to no alcohol during this month, we all make choices and that's the choice I made to help me reach my goals.

Continued success everyone.

Doing better than me bud... I 'had' to have my cheat meal.

So it begins... I dropped off my car at the body shop today. If I'm lucky, I'll get it back Friday. That means that I'll be doing dumbbells and calisthenics at home for at least my next two workouts, and hoofing it to and from work for my cardio. Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to it. I hope it doesn't rain!

Make it chicken breast, Salami is heavily processed.

I would like shopping too if it was for heavy weights, but on Sunday Melissa said she wanted to grab a couple things before we went grocery shopping and asked my sister if she wanted to come.

So 5 hours later, after spending 2 hours clothes shopping, 2 hours in a bra and pantie place, and another hour at odd girl stores...... Costco is closed to I cant get meat, and we have to rush to the grocery store cause its only open another 15 minutes....

All along I thought we were just going grocery shopping... boy was I wrong :rolleyes: I definitely got the wool pulled over my eyes on that one, NEVER AGAIN!!!!

i'll probably get in on the next one of these... april was a blast, i gotta beat my score. seeing all of you posting in this makes me sooo jealous

Well, when I first weighed in, about the 26th of April, I was at 208. Today I found I'm down to 200!!!!

Only 20-25 more pounds to lose, now I believe it's possible!

Though.. I don't seem to "look" thinner. Only noticeable change is the stretch marks are waaay less visible. (I hate those things)

Where the hell is drew anyways? He's supposed to be kicking my ass!! Drew MIA, what's this!

The mirror lies
Mine's brutally honest :nod:

cheat meals: am i the only one who never really cares about eating a cheat meal when its scheduled? i feel like i'd rather have it when i have the craving rather than when i don't really care what i eat. so like say i schedule a cheat meal on saturday night and for dinner i have something i love - sushi, well that's not a cheat meal. so now what do i do? skip the cheat meal completely or just have one next time i feel like it? i'm not going to eat a cheat meal just to eat one if i don't feel like it either, ya know?

Eat it when you want to. I see little point in forcing yourself to eat a cheat meal. Kind of defies the point of having one. I do the same thing :) I eat my cheat meal either when I'm really craving one, or when I go out with friends and I have to eat one. In both cases I enjoy them to da max!

:cry:After all my hard work-exercises .... today I've received a comment ... "Your chest look flatter!" I'm female and that sort of comment deflate my female ego :cry: And further more, my mom said smaller is not good and another of my friend said maybe you exercise too much.

Now I'm doing online research on "breast size and exercise" what the heck.... :cry:

I've always find that being a guy is cool... you know some jobs require girls to wear only skirts and etc... And now we have to worry about this kind of stuff. I know it's rather silly but I guess I'm just in one of those mood.:blank:

Note to self: stir fry chicken night before and bring to work, cuz shakes don't cut it!


edit: (shakes tend to keep me hungry)

I agree, don't force a cheat meal in if you don't want it. The reward is the cheat meal. I've skipped this weekends meal because I didn't want it.

Now what you might consider a clean meal, I might consider a cheat if it's not what I already had planned to eat. Sushi for me would be a cheat meal hands down. Eye Round, Sweat Potatoes, and green beens that fit my macros and cooked myself would be a planned meal.

AM shakes just give me the shakes. I need a big breakfast.
6 egg whites, 1 whole egg, red peppers & onions, 4 oz chicken breast, fry and add a bit of tabasco sauce on it. Oh, yeah, 1 cup cooked oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon makes for a well rounded breakfast.

Thats awesome progress, keep it up, you can reach your goals!
Did you take before shots? The mirror lies, pictures dont :tu:

Yeah, I have daily shots. Might post some tonight if I can find the time.. Though 8 pounds doesn't seem like a whole lot, I can't really notice any change in the pics (though I might not know what I'm looking for lol.)

I'm SOO tired of chicken.. Right now shake > chicken (though I find I'm almost never hungry now)

I wouldn't worry about it. Some guys (much like myself) find breasts that are too big unattractive. What really matters is that you're making progress and enjoying the exercise.

Of course.. with men, breasts are ALWAYS unattractive!

Thats exactly what I do too. I don't schedule cheat meals, I just allow one or two per week, then eat them when its convenient (like if I get invited out to dinner) or I really crave something. If I still have one left then on the weekend I usually take my girlfriend out to dinner somewhere.

Cheat meals shouldn't be scheduled, that takes all the "cheat" out of them in my opinion.

I'm gonna wager that you're not the first person on this forum to do "online research" on breast size :lol:

Seriously, though, while they may "look" smaller, that could be just because your frame is also getting smaller. Also, they'll probably be perkier, which is much nicer than larger and droopier ;)

Keep up the hard work!

Hope that doesn't go over the line! :lol:

I second that. Bigger is NOT better :tu:

i'll probably get in on the next one of these... april was a blast, i gotta beat my score. seeing all of you posting in this makes me sooo jealous


I was wondering what happened to you! :D

PS...ECCENT: I wouldn't worry to much about it, everyone is different shapes and sizes and so are everyone's taste and opinion on what they like and dislike. What matters is what you like! And, being healthy and living longer out wagers going down one cup size in a bra. I like how one guy put it...they will be "perkier"! Firmer with muscle! ;)

A fit girl with a B/C cup and 17-19% bodyfat would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo my dream

big boobs are overrated.

they just cry about it hurting when they run / do exercise / etc.

i HATE that.

i need me an active girl.

go run on the beach.
play kadima.
volleyball.
jogging wherever.
PULLUPS
soccer.
gymnastics.
swimming.
you name it.

80% of america could stand to lose 20 lbs. people complaining about your chest getting smaller? F that.

dont take their BS

I agree with this guy ^

Also (and it may be a bit crude lol) any more than "one per hand" is too much in my books.

*blink*

:rolleyes:

Guess we can add "good conversation" to the long list of things boobs are good for:D

Yeah, I have daily shots. Might post some tonight if I can find the time.. Though 8 pounds doesn't seem like a whole lot, I can't really notice any change in the pics (though I might not know what I'm looking for lol.)

I wouldn't worry about it. Some guys (much like myself) find breasts that are too big unattractive. What really matters is that you're making progress and enjoying the exercise.

Of course.. with men, breasts are ALWAYS unattractive!

Hey Falhurk, I think clothing are the best indicator. They dun lie! (nonliving things:P, kiddin)

I enjoy making progress and the result of exercise(better stamina and all) but not really the exercise itself.(at least not the gym stuff or anything out of th
