Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 195

SenselessChiefsFan · 11-28-2009, 07:40 PM

Okay, so there are a ton of guys in here that are working out, trying to work out, or 'thinking' about working out.

So, I figured I would start a thread. I am all about making myself accountable. The more people that I tell about working out, the more people I would let down by not going.

If you go to the gym.... then post here when you get back. If you do P90X, post here when you get done. If you ride the excercise bike.... post it here.

Anything you do to get in shape.... share with the board. I know I have gotten some great advice and feedback.

Also, post what you eat. If you post everything you eat, and you know others will be critical, you may think twice before you grab a Twinkie.

Okay, so, I went to the gym. I did five minutes on the cross climber to warm up. I stretched for about three minutes.

Then, I did three sets of squats with just 135. I did back extensions and hanging leg lifts. Three sets each. I did leg curls, calf extensions, abductor and adductor excercises as well.

On my leg day, I do very light chest exercises to work on my explosive power. I do three sets of six pushups as explosively as I can. I throw the excercise ball up like a chest pass while laying on the bench.

Then, I finished off my workout with 30 minutes on the eliptical.

As far as my diet.

Breakfast two pieces of peanut butter whole wheat toast, protein shake, and banana.

I have had another banana, two yogurts, and a handful of cashews as snacks.

I didn't have a 'lunch' per se.

Kids had sloppy joes with lean beef (as if that makes it great).... I took a baked potato, and put a serving of sloppy joe over it, with jalapenos and 2 oz's of lowfat cheddar cheese.

I have also had shotgun with water, and synthesize with water.

I won't eat again before bed.

Okay, I know putting everything down here will open me up to criticism. I know some will think that I am doing things all wrong. I appreciate any advice, but I have done a lot of reading and talking to trainers.... so, I have an idea of what I am doing.... or at least what I think I am doing.

The point of this thread, isn't to get into pissing matches about how to do things.... but rather to give ourselves a gold star for making an effort.

Try not to beat anyone down on this thread, because this is about encouragement.

Try working out one time before you start your day. You'll be amazed at how much better it makes you feel.

I used to. It does make you feel good, but I am a night owl. I eventually started sleeping through my alarm.

Fantastic job, keep it up!

Sorry, but it is easy. It isn't hard, it just takes doing it.

Oh, SR, I forgot to check last night. The fish oil I take right now is Nature's Bounty (pick it up at Walgreen's). 1200 mg omega-3&6. I've never had fish burps with it, whether I spread it out during the day or take the entire dosage (3 pills) at once.

I do have wonderful salmony morning breath now, though. From eating salmon about 12 hours ago.

Blech.

Oh okay, well I'll have to pick up some, you really should also STILL take the garlic, imo, it'll help w/ any blood pressure related issues, I think.

I went to my favorite taqueria today and went nuts:

2 asada gorditas (real ones, not the taco bell bullshit) one verde, one roja.
1 asada sope.

Ridiculously good and worth every calorie. My wife, due to her dieting, is on an anti-Mexican food kick lately, so I have to take it where I can get it.

Sup fasting buddy.

Whenever I get hungry I just tell myself "that's your abs, screaming to be let out."

I'd be shocked if I had hbp.

Tonight's crock-pot experiment is up and running. Took some fresh chicken, cut it up into bite-size morsels, mixed it up with half a bottle of honey bbq sauce. We'll see how it turns out in 8 or 9 hours.

I saw your picture stud boy. If you're fasting now in addition to whatever you're doing, you're going to look like a fitness model in no time.

PS - send me pics of your girl
