Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 103

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'm really not doing this for the weight loss anymore. I mean, of course I am, but it's not my main focus. I've found that I genuinely enjoy it and plan on getting very active in sports rec leagues, and different classes as I get more fit.

That's the cool thing.... if you get to where you actually enjoy working out, it is so easy to go to the gym every day.

In fact, tomorrow, I have a conflict on my schedule. I am doing a set at a local comedy house...trying out some new material... and I don't know when I am going to workout..... I am really bummed.

I perceive the fun part as having that feeling of gratification along the process/journey of it.

The process in itself is it's own the reward. When you see the before and after photos and how the hard work pays dividends, thats fun and motivating.

Absolutely. It's also the competition. The competition is really the mission for me. I've always been that way. Whether competing with other people, or just trying to best myself, I like to win.

Imagine, a 450lb athlete.

I guess I just wasn't in training.

Whatever floats your boat Mr. Flopnuts.

A 450 lb athlete? lol...you mean like world's strongest man?

Yeah, the gym is fun when you can really get to it. But don't take an extended amount of time off. I took two weeks off because I had a lot of shit on my plate taking college visits and writing 398089 scholarship essays and I got real lethargic during that time. By the end of that time, all the giddiness about going to the gym had wore off and had to drag myself to the gym when before I jumped at the chance to go.

Yeah, I just don't have that miraculous transformation or anything, so I have to take my pleasure where I can get it

Okay, accountability time. Slacked off in a major way on the diet over the past 2 weeks. Need to drop 2 more pounds before soccer starts next Friday. Time to go on super-diet.

Yup... me too. It is just nice to see, he isn't the Jesus Christ of diet and exercise.

Although.... I see an epic film.... The Last Temptation of Silock....... Picture him..... next to the the table..... a handful of raw almonds next to a dozen fresh Krispy Kreme Donuts......

I wonder if the final cut would include the scene where he invented High intensity interval training. A torrid love scene with him and his wife dressed up as the kids from Bayside high on Halloween.

Anyone who is dieting knows that Krispy Kreme is the devil covered in glaze.
