Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 150

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 had a kick ****ing ass workout today. Ran a 10 minute mile to warm up. Lifted. 4 miles on the elliptical. Ran an 11 minute mile. Then walked a mile to cool off.

I feel like a champ!

Damn. Nice. How long are you usually in the gym for?

Normally about an hour. Yesterday was over 90 minutes. I try to spend an hour and a half at least once or twice a week.

The real reason I took SO much pride in that workout yesterday is that I weigh about 295lbs.

Hit it harder today. Liking this new routine. Slowly working on getting my strength back. I know I can lift more than I am right now, but I'm just taking it slow anyway. There's no rush.

The only things I ate today were a protein shake and some salad. I think I'm about to go make some pizza.

Silock · 04-23-2010, 12:41 AM

Oh, and there's a new post on my website for core training for sports and fitness success.

Feels good doesn't it? Take a bow. You've earned it!

Got my workout in today. Had a hard time being motivated but it's probably because I've been working out every day since that little 3 day break I took at the beginning of last week. Gonna take tomorrow off and gear up for my race on Sunday. I'm excited.

Enjoy it! I'm actually really happy that I've gotten to the point that I can eat whatever I want and NOT beat myself up over it later. FFS, I've lost over 150lbs. What do I have to feel guilty about? It's amazing how much I did though.
