Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 250

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.

I drink probably a six pack of beer in a week. Most of my drinking is red wine. Yes, I drink more than I should.

**Buck** · 05-12-2010, 12:31 PM

Yeah the thing about beer sucks. I just bought some beer before my decision so now I cant drink it, espcially being on a low carb diet.

Also, I'm worried about the bash. All that BBQ and beer and I don't know if I can partake. Maybe that will be a cheat weekend.

I'm full as ****. I also had a 100 calorie cheese pack thing that kraft sells.

I'm at 543 calories for the day.

I'm going to work out in about an hour when this food settles then I'll eat some Turkey Burgers which are 160 calories each with 0 carbs. I'll add some cheese to that probably. Today should be a good day.

I find it hard to drink 8 cups of water a day, but I think I'm translating these 16.9 oz bottles of water to a cup. I'm guessing they are larger than that.

1 cup = 8 ounces. So you should count the bottle as 2 cups.

Sweet so I've been drinking about 10 cups a day.

You also have to account for the liquid in the foods you eat. So you are at more than 10 cups. Keep it up!

Which is more than plenty. Of course you want to adjust this if you sweat a lot during your workouts.

Yeah I do. Like a cold soda can sitting out on a 100 degree day.

Alright I'm going to work out.

Peace.

Holy moly! Venti Iced White Mocha from Starbucks = 500 calories. Well, I've had 500 calories today.

Jesus Christ.

No wonder I am fat.

You never think about that shit. 500 calories in one drink?

How many calories does a can of Coke or Dr. Pepper have? Ugh.

Ok seriously. Going to workout now. PEAAAAACE

I wouldn't drink coffee unless it's black.

I hardly drink it at all. Was just really craving one. I've been really good, so I thought I'd treat myself. I figured it'd be a few hundred calories, but not 500. Looks like it's low calorie soup for dinner. I got a can of French Onion with 80 calories per serving. I can never finish the entire can, so we'll say 150 calories for dinner.

I got it without whipped cream. I hope that helps a little.

1 can Dr. Pepper = 150 Calories.
1 can Coke = 140 Calories.

Not good for you but much better alternative to 500 calorie coffee.

I drink Coke Zero Cherry. It is the shit.
