Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 298

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... but it's easier to have that opinion if you are the weakest guy in the gym....okay, I was probably never the weakest guy.... but at least now, I am solidly in the middle.

Every oz. of food that I ate today was weighed and all calories are accounted for. Caloric deficit of 3080 calories. Not ****ing around this week. 5lbs or bust.

LetsSignRussell · 05-17-2010, 10:43 PM

I will think of you when I'm putting it down.

I quit the vitamins. Let's just say they had some "interesting side effects"...

Fasting today, which isn't a problem. But one of my graduating students just brought me a tray of sweets in appreciation for writing his recs and such. I just put it in a desk drawer and will eat it tomorrow, heh.

Fasting: Why eat today, what you can put off until tomorrow?

Just tried a Cambell's Healthy Request Chicken Rice Soup and it tasted like crap compared to the regular one. And the calories are exactly the same. I won't be buying that crap again.

Exactly. I had the same thought, and was almost like... what's the difference... I'm going to take in the calories eventually anyway... might as well do it today.

Then I stopped myself.

**The Franchise** · 05-18-2010, 11:52 AM

So....if you're fasting from dinner to dinner for 24 hours.....then technically you should be able to do that for as many days in a row as you want....right?

You're fasting 24 hours....and then you eat a meal. Or is it not the same because then technically you're not receiving all of the nutrients that you would from eating on a normal day?
