Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 188

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.

4 miles on the elliptical, lifted weights, ran 2 miles. Shouldn't have ran the 2 miles. My tendon is sore again. Whatever though, it's not like it was. I think I'll just stay away from running for a week, and I should be good.

Why 2, just out of curiousity? I take 1 daily, along with fish oil supplements (which noticably help with my moods fwiw) as well as some wacky prostate supplements (family history of prostate problems - I don't do doctors, but I'm still making an effort to be proactive).

Silock · 05-04-2010, 03:09 PM

The recommended dosage on that NOW ADAM multi is 3 pills, one pill three times daily.

I get a lot of nutrients from my diet, so I just take one in the morning and one at night just to kinda cover my bases.

Although, I did recently try out the Gaspair ANAVITE vitamins, because they have Beta-Alanine in them. Just kinda evaluating, because BA has been shown to improve performance in some people. Just seeing if I notice a difference for me.

I've been using one-a-day men's for several years now. No complaints so far.

Oh, I almost forgot, I had a slight slip last night. At the grocery I picked up a single-serving pizza and a bag of fritos. I'm not sure why, but I got the worst salt craving I think I can ever remember. Think part of the issue was that I didn't eat enough yesterday up to that point. In any case, sort of a mild speed bump, nothing major.

On an unrelated note, every friggin thing in the produce section was gone last night.

So I stopped by again on the way to work today and stocked up. Think I'm still in good shape. Lot of good meat on sale last night, picked up a nice fresh salmon fillet for tonight and some fresh chicken I'm going to throw in the crock-pot tomorrow with some bbq sauce, sort of a pseudo pulled-chicken, minus the bun I'd normally have (going to eat just the meat, with some vegetables...). Also grabbed some lean pork chops for the foreman grill later in the week. Picked up a package of english muffins, figure I'll allow myself one every day or two, in an effort to stem my inherent passion for bread. Whole grain - figured if I'm going to do a not-so-great thing, I might as well be as healthy as I can with it.

Today's haul was strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, grapes (red and green) bananas and a bag of salad.

I've come to realize that the annoying thing about eating like this is that, while I spend less per trip, I'm going to have to go to the grocery twice a week minimum to keep myself stocked up. Which the lazy side of me doesn't like all that much.
