Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 34

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.

Finished the day strong. Had eaten like crap up until I posted. Had water the rest of the day and my dinner was a protein shake. And, that was to make sure I had the proper fuel for my workout.

Did legs and abs yesterday. I do abs just about every day, but on Leg day, I do weighted machines to try to add a little bulk to my abs. I can barely walk today. Which is a good thing. Everything from my nipples down is sore.

Starting off well today. I am having a protein shake. I have a business lunch, which kind of sucks because the guy wants to eat at IHOP. Since it is a client, of course I have to indulge him.

I guess it is time to bounce over to IHOP.com to see what I can eat.

Today is Chest/Triceps. My favorite day. And, tomorrow will be an off day so I have to hit it hard.

Eat what you want; just eat less. Make up for it later.

That is much, much easier said than done for me.

Carlota69 · 02-09-2010, 12:40 PM

Last night I did arms and shoulders--my trainer had me do these tricep moves in a plank position...tricep move with cables at 12.5 lbs. Obviously one arm at a time...that was tough...after all the other stuff I did, at the end I had to hold in plank for 3 minutes--then move one arm towrds my back and then do the same with the other arm, 20 times each, still in plank position, and then bring my legs underneath me one at a time, still in plank. I was in a plank position for over 5 minutes. I offered to puke on his shoes...

I had a very green salad with strawberries, blueberries and red rasberries, shaved almonds, feta cheese and a salt free balsamic dressing. ground beef with a salt free tomato topping and blanched broccoli in a wasabi oil...

I have leftovers today and Imvery happy about that...

Oh and I had a piece of red chili dark chocolate---Tasty. Its my Bday, so i figured I was ok to have some chocolate--spicy at that

I'm getting sick of oatmeal for breakfast. Where's that sausage gravy and cowboy biscuit thread. And some eggs and bacon. Can't forget the hashbrowns. Katchup and lousiana hot sauce.

Perhaps. Just incorporate two days of fasting until dinner. It's a great way to cut calories for the week. It works especially well if you don't go over on the calories, but it's a fantastic tool for when you do.

Good for breakfast too

I've never, ever tried fasting. I've been in a situation where I haven't had food for 10-12 hours and it feels like hell. Don't think I could bring myself to do that.

It's really mind over matter in this case. If you're carrying around ANY bodyfat over 5-6%, you can easily make it up to 48 hours without food.

I fast on the regular. Definitely helps me maintain my weight.

Spin class tonight. Not much fun, but I worked hard. Tomorrow morning I get back into the kettlebell circuit.

I've got a question for you Silock. Somehow I gained 6lbs in 4 days eating about 1400 calories a day. Maybe more, but I guarantee it wasn't much more. It's basically the smallest amount of food I've eaten in a week's period in my entire life.

I know it's legit because I weighed on a 2nd scale today and verified it. How is that possible?

Silock · 02-09-2010, 09:16 PM

Water weight?

Maybe the foods you consumed had labels that did not accurately show their calories. There's no way that it's possible without consuming excess calories. Your metabolism isn't broken; you'd know it.

I'm pretty confused. I don't drink a lot of liquid outside of the 24-32oz of water I drink while working out. Literally didn't eat before 5pm any day during that stretch and simply didn't consume enough food to hit those calories. One day I didn't eat for 22 hours. It's pretty crazy, but I swear to God it's true.

Sunday was my cheat day. But, I didn't eat 5,000 calories. Let alone the thousands and thousands I'd need to offset my BMR and exercise. I feel absolutely fine. I don't know how I'd feel if my metabolism was broken, but I know that I'm feeling like a million bucks with my workout regimen.

I'm baffled.
