Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 249

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.

Ah, okay. You're getting the same kind I do. Never mind.

ehh, i think i botched that. I run four miles at 8:45 per mile. My fault.

Why is it that on a fast day....I generally don't get hungry. Yet on days when I eat normally.....I'm hungry as **** 30 minutes before I usually eat. And water isn't helping right now.

Stupid mind!

I was supposed to fast yesterday, but I had to go to a meeting with our builder and architects at lunch. They brought hummus and a spinach dip for the meeting. I felt rude not eating, so I blew my fast.

I'm fasting today and Friday instead of my usual Tue/Thu.

I (and many others) experience this all the time. I'm sure there's a physiological reason for it, but I don't know what it is.

Simply Red · 05-12-2010, 12:04 PM

I'm re-fasting today, I blew yesterday w/ 2x snack sized doritos - nacho cheese.

**Buck** · 05-12-2010, 12:17 PM

Oh man I just went to the grocery store and loaded up on meat, cheese, and packaged salad.

I just ate lunch, which consisted of 2 cups of butter lettuce salad (lowest carb total out of all the packaged salads, 2 g per 2.5 cups), with 2 tablespoons of Bacon Ranch salad dressing (>1g of carbs per 2 tbsp), and had 1/2 a slice of cheddar, colby jack, swiss, and pepper jack.

I'm full as ****. I also had a 100 calorie cheese pack thing that kraft sells.

I'm at 543 calories for the day.

I'm going to work out in about an hour when this food settles then I'll eat some Turkey Burgers which are 160 calories each with 0 carbs. I'll add some cheese to that probably. Today should be a good day.

I find it hard to drink 8 cups of water a day, but I think I'm translating these 16.9 oz bottles of water to a cup. I'm guessing they are larger than that.

I drink at least 64 oz of water in a day. Go to Target and get their sugar free drink mix packets. Add 2 packets to 32 oz of water. It's basically like drinking calorie and carb free kool-aid.

Isn't it better for my liver or something if I just drink regular water?

I will totally do this as long as its not harmful to my weight loss goals.

I love beer, but I can't remember the last one I had. I have bottles of Newcastle in the fridge that are at least 6 months old.

I did have two rum and cokes a couple nights ago, though.

And I like the occasional Bailey's on the rocks.

I've lost 31 lbs, I ALWAYS have at least 32 oz of beer per week. And by beer I mean BEER, not pisswater.

I would stick with water & lots of it. I've read that the artificial sweeteners can impede fat loss.
