Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 200

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.

Other than that, I run a 12 minute mile pace myself and push out at least 3 days a week consisting of 1 long run (gets higher every week, this week is 6 miles) and then 2 three mile runs. I'm trying to push that total to 5 days a week, but only because I LOVE running. It helps that I burn more calories far and away vs. any other form of cardio.

Sorry I couldn't help with some advice, I just don't know much about it.

I think I'm going to try and run for 30 minutes tomorrow, although 20 about kills me.( I have only been running for about a week and a half) I will take tomorrow off from weights and then just reapeat the cycle.

It's a newer philosophy, and a very 'today' type of addition to throw into a persons NEW 'way of life' - it's pretty well studied, actually. Silock will give you the details. I'm not smart enough to.

Don't push yourself too fast, but if you're running at 5mph for 20 minutes at a stretch, and you've only been doing it for a week and a half, you're already in pretty good shape.

GC's PDF is good info. It won't kill you to not eat for a few hours.

Same here. Mental discipline. Solely. The lower calories were just a bonus.

The part about fasted state vs fed state makes me not want to break my 24-hour fast after midnight, before I go to bed. Just means I get that extra fat burning time in instead of being in a fed state.

I generally only eat once a day and that is at dinner, maybe a snack for lunch but usually just coffee. I figured that is why my fat won't go away.

Um...it sounds like you're eating at an extreme caloric deficit.

How much do you weigh?

It won't go away because you eat too much

How much are you eating? What is your BMR?
