Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 197

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.

Yeah, I worked my ass off yesterday and fasted. I ate last night, but haven't eaten today. I'm going to keep a strict limit on it to 1000-1200 calories. I'm at about 65 today due to the half starbucks latte light I drank this morning.

Day 2 Week 3 of C25K. Day 1 nearly killed me. I'm interested to see what this day will bring.

Glory. And I wouldn't be surprised if you found it easy, and fun. Your confidence is building I'm sure.

Floppy, I don't think I've ever encountered someone more disciplined with their weight loss.

And that includes Silock, who inhales packages of Oreos nigh whole.

Silock · 05-05-2010, 02:00 PM

****ING OREOS!!!!!

Thanks dude. I indulge more than my fair share. And I feel like my weight loss reflects it. Of course, maybe expecting to lose 20lbs a month like I did at 450 is unreasonable. I don't know. I'm just trying to stay on top of myself, because I know me. And I know if I give myself an inch, I'm inclined to try and take a mile.

I know it probably gets old listening to me go on and on about it here, but that accountability is something that is always in the back of my mind. While I'm disciplined about working out, it pretty much counter balances my lack of discipline with the food and amount of it that I consume.

Silock eats 1400 calories a day and does just fine with it. I should be able to do that as well, yet I rarely go less than 1500 and lately it's rarely been under 1800. If I'm going to eat like that, I do need to be busting my ass in the gym. For now anyways.

Thanks again for the support GC. I'm just trying to explain the mindset that makes me this way.

Hammock Parties · 05-05-2010, 02:06 PM

The difference for you, Floppy, is you are built like a freaking right tackle.

Even 1800 calories is disciplined. Your BMR is somewhere around 3,000.

Silock · 05-05-2010, 02:08 PM

Yeah, Flopnuts has a serious calorie deficit going on. I think that's awesome. Better to get the weight loss over with quickly, I say.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 05-05-2010, 02:11 PM

I absolutely want to get it over with. I'm so ready to move on. I don't remember a day in my life when I didn't have a fat belly. At all.

Patience is a virtue. I need to remember that. And, as much as I ride my own ass on here, I know I'm doing a GREAT ****ing job. I'm walking the walk every day for the most part. I just don't want to be the douche that comes on here and toots my own horn and says "Look at me! Look at me!" At least not anymore than I already do.

It's been cool watching that number drop almost every day on my bodybugg software. Right now it's 2920, which is more than the bmr calculator says I should be at with my weight.

i'm cold. This was covered, right? This is normal?

Silock · 05-05-2010, 02:58 PM

Put on a sweater.

I've been eating between 800-1000 calories per day, except for when I have beers on either Friday night or Saturday. Whichever day I drink I make my cheat day.

ArrowheadHawk · 05-05-2010, 03:06 PM

I've been doing 1500-1850 and I almost always stay right at or below the 1500. Starting to get more sore as the day goes on. I plan on going in tonight and doing my lower body. Legs and abs. I'm thinking I might be really sore tomorrow so I probably will just go in and do cardio.
