Poop The "I just got back from the gym" and this is what I have eaten thread. - Page 351

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.

I've been incredibly sloppy, lazy, and undisciplined with my eating this month. The month of discipline fell apart in the kitchen before it ever got started. I'm probably averaging 2000 calories a day this month. By far the worst I've done in this long of a stretch all year long. Not a big deal, I can fix it. But FFS, I've lost 12lbs so far this month. Why? I'm running almost 30 miles a week. Running = WIN!

Hammock Parties · 06-12-2010, 03:51 PM

Yeah and 2,000 calories is still a deficit for you.

I burn up between 4500-5500 calories a day between running, walking/shopping, and breathing. At least I do according to my bodybugg. I ****ing love that thing. I'm to the point now where I have a pretty good idea of what I burned during a run before even checking the software. This thing has made me so much more aware of what equals what.

You must look at that thing several times a day and just think "**** yeah."

How much is a 5-mile run doing ya for?

I only check it a couple of times a day believe it or not. I get too comfortable and eat too much. I haven't eaten shit today. At all. I'm waiting it out because I've been a pussy for the last week and a half. It really has nothing to do with weight loss, I just need the discipline of fasting. It's good for me.

I ran 5.5 miles in an hour today and burned up 1500 calories between that and the 5 minutes of warming up and cooling down. I generally burn between 1200-1800 calories a day at the gym depending on what I'm doing. My long run which I do once every week or two gets me over 2000. I'm going for 8 miles here pretty quick, maybe 8.5. My record right now is 7.5 and it was a painful experience.

How much do you burn during lifting?

Don't overdo it, Hardnuts.

Next to nothing. I burn like 300-400 calories in the half an hour that I spend lifting weights. I'm not. I train almost every day, but I take a day off generally every 7-10 days.

I wouldn't doubt if I've gained some this month...been out on business and it's hard to say no to the free food and drinks. I know a couple of weeks won't kill me but I'll be traveling the rest of the month with just weekends home. Luckily I have been fasting at least one day a week so maybe the damage won't be as much as I think it is.

BTW, NewPhin, I'm going to order that cookbook you suggested and hopefully I'll get into the cooking thing with that as a reference.

**Bwana** · 06-12-2010, 07:58 PM

I just racked my four homemade brandy's that have been going for 7 months. I'm going to grab a cigar in a few minutes and go try some.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 06-12-2010, 08:01 PM

I'm going to have to change my routine up here at some point I imagine. I've been lifting for 4+ months now. I just don't know what to do. Silock, what do you think about 5X5s for me? I really have no idea where to go from here.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 06-12-2010, 09:20 PM

I am waxed. 3 egg omelet with 5 strips of crumbled up turkey bacon and 1 1/2 oz. of shredded colby jack cheese. Oh, and a tablespoon of light sour cream and tapatio hot sauce. Seasoned those eggs up with some powders around the house and it was pure awesome. Under 600 calories too.

dougiedav · 06-12-2010, 09:49 PM

the best meal. ever.
I had hamburger steaks with heinz 57. a baked potato. black eyed peas. and green beans. Oh! and bread with butter.
and i did not go to the gym. ha!

That happens. I know this feeling and it can be quite painful. Don't worry though, you'll get through this in no time. Within a quick snap before you know it. you still have that feeling and desire in you to do it, so, thats whats most important and will overcome the barriers you're facing now. Strong will always wins. Just don't let any feelings of anxiety, or stress get in the way. I often find at times that could mend the will. I face those battles everyday of my life.

Im really happy that you believe in yourself. Isn't it amazing how this stuff just makes you a better person? How discipline is a requirement, and how consistency is the key to being successful in health and fitness. Just that alone is challenging, being consistent. The question is, how much of a disciplinarians are we really? This is something I know I've always had, but not enough of it. I've been trying really hard to develop into a disciplinarian over the years and been getting better at it. This is what I mean in how it makes us better people. We can develop this over time and be a lot stronger as a result.

KCChiefsMan · 06-12-2010, 10:46 PM

Sounds like you are doing great Flopnuts. Keep up the good work!

I'm reaching my goals as well. I'm not going to a gym and have limited workout stuff. But it's all about diet and effort. I switched my diet up, eating almost all natural foods. I had to take out coffee, sugar and salt. I usually start my day with an apple and a cup of green tea. Go out for a run, come back and have oatmeal + a fruit. Lots of water and I snack on fruit's and nuts throughout the day. Have a lean protein + brown rice or leafy greens or a sweet potato for my carbs. I feel 100 times better than I did a year ago.
