Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 242

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.

Only 3 hours left of my fast. This is the first time today I have thought. "This Sucks". Oh well If I'm not mistaken its these last few hours that are the most benificial.

I'll be good until 5. That is when I will become ravenous.

I think I'm going to go hit the gym before I make dinner. That should keep my mind off it.

4 hours to go for me. I bet that's the best grilled chicken breast salad I will ever taste in my life.

**The Franchise** · 05-11-2010, 02:20 PM

I've got less than 6 hours left. The hardest time for me is going to be from around 3-6 PM. I normally am starving at 3 PM and it just so happens to be my "slow" time at work.

I don't even know what the wife is making for dinner.....but I'm sure it's going to be good.

You mother****er.......

I've got 4 hours left and I can't tell if I'm really hungry or my mind is playing tricks on me.

**The Franchise** · 05-11-2010, 04:24 PM

GD.....I've hit the home stretch and I'm bored.

I'm off to go get more water.

It's an interesting feeling.

Silock · 05-11-2010, 04:44 PM

You get used to it.

I'm about to hit the gym, 15 hours into my fast. I love working out fasted. Makes you forget about the hunger and really keeps me focused.

Friday morning is going to be my first workout while fasting. It's just too bad that I won't be too far into the fast when I'm working out.

How many times do you fast during a week? I'm planning on starting out at 2.

Two days a week is plenty, provided you're not going nuts on your non-fast days and when you break your fast. You'll see serious results from 2 days a week.
