Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 199

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.

****. Wasn't any easier. The 3 minute jog nearly kills me. Made it through, though.

Pain is weakness leaving the body.

Saw that on a guy's water bottle at the gym the other day and dug it.

NewChief · 05-05-2010, 06:10 PM

Speaking of pain and weakness. I went up to working sets of snatch, press, swings with a 28kg kettlebell. Holy mother, I'm worked. I'd been doing my first low rep set with a 28, but today I did my second set with it as well, which has more reps in it. Just that difference kicked my ass.

I've been sitting here relaxing while the kids play, and I just got up to start getting them ready for bath and realized that my body is freaking wrecked.

LetsSignRussell · 05-05-2010, 06:20 PM

Train to the point of near death. Rest. Repeat.

5 Nutrition Myths that are Sabotaging Your Weight Loss Goals

Myth #1 – A good weight loss programs needs to be complicated, with calorie cycling and special charts and graphs telling what to eat and when to eat based on your specific metabolic type / blood type / birth stone / horoscope sign.

FACT: A true weight loss plan does NOT have to be complicated. In fact, the simpler the program the better the results will be. The more restrictive the diet, the more likely it will fail you.

Myth #2 – You must be in total control of what you eat. After all, weight loss comes from WHAT you eat, not HOW MUCH you eat.

FACT: Fact: The bottom line is that to lose weight you MUST create a caloric deficit (Eat less calories than you burn off). As soon as you find a simple way to eat less calories you’ve won the battle, stressing over special ways to eat and special types of food to eat will NOT improve your weight loss.

Myth #3 – Intermittent Fasting is only for young people and it’s just another type of diet fad

FACT: Fact: Flexible Intermittent Fasting is supported by a large amount of research and is effective for many people of all different ages and walks of life. From professional fitness models to 53 year old Doctors, an amazing amount of people are switching to the Eat Stop Eat lifestyle every day.

Myth #4 – Some macronutrients are better than others for weight loss, because of the effect they have on rare or recently discovered ‘fat burning hormones’.

Fact: Fat is not BAD, protein really isn’t that special, and carbohydrates are perfectly fine to eat, even sugar!

Myth #5 - You lose significant amounts of muscle if you don’t eat every two to three hours.

FACT: You will not lose muscle if you miss a meal. In fact, you won’t even lose muscle if you miss an entire day of meals as long as you follow a well designed workout plan.

The bottom line is that weight loss does not have to be frustrating, complicated or involve secret combinations of foods.

ok, here at the gym, just finished my arms, shoulders and pecs and umm, uhh, forearms etc....

Now, off to the ab routine.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 05-05-2010, 07:05 PM

So, I consumed 1000 calories yesterday. Considering I fasted yesterday, that's disgusting. However I ate some frozen yogurt last night and that's what pushed it so high. That and the very necessary protein shake I drank after lifting yesterday morning. Whatever though.

1300 calories today. Provided I don't eat for the rest of the night, that is full of win. 1300 calories today consisted of half of a Starbuck's skinny latte, 2 Jack in the Box tacos, and tonight I bbq'd some ribs and made some mashed potatoes.

Yesterday at lunch, I had half of a grilled chicken club and a bowl of tortilla soup. Last night, I had a Fiber One bar. Today, I had a turkey sandwich and a soda. Not planning on eating again until tomorrow.

You are a diet and exercise machine.

I just got back from doing the bottom half of my weightlifting. So now I have worked everything I plan on doing. I did Arms, Chest and Back on Day 1. and today I did Legs, Glutes, and abs. Before both workouts I jogged for 20 minutes at a 5mph(12 minute mile) pace. Should I do arms again tomorrow or should I just do cardio and then repeat the cycle. Any ideas from anyone would be helpfull.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 05-05-2010, 07:19 PM

Me personally, I do a full body workout 3 days a week. I'm a brand n00b weight lifter though, so that's what I was told made the most sense.

Other than that, I run a 12 minute mile pace myself and push out at least 3 days a week consisting of 1 long run (gets higher every week, this week is 6 miles) and then 2 three mile runs. I'm trying to push that total to 5 days a week, but only because I LOVE running. It helps that I burn more calories far and away vs. any other form of cardio.

Sorry I couldn't help with some advice, I just don't know much about it.

Okay, I am not getting the fasting thing. A person needs 3 meals & 2 snacks a day.

No, you don't.

Intermittent fasting is awesome and a really effective way to lose weight.
