Newer lady member needing diet & workout guidance

**GirlyGymRat** · 05-24-2012, 08:24 PM

did a TRX set and spinning this evening and I am already sore. Hadn't remember how much of an awesome workout...been about 8 months....too long.

I do have a question about inner thighs. Anybody got a good inner thigh workout. Seems to be a tricky spot to workout. Appreciate your suggestions! Thx in advance.

Status update

Weigh and measure. I am at 135.3 lbs and my measurements are the smallest they have ever been. I guess I have meant my goal but afraid it is because of the drug therapy program that I have been on for 6 months. I have lost half my hair and I am anemic. But the good news is today is my last day of meds and now I start wheening myself off the other meds I was taking for the side effects. yay!!!!!! yay!!!!!

My new short term goal is to keep weight at 135
My near term goal is to train for warrior dash
I have plastic surgery to fix the issue with the girls come end of summer and then have 6 weeks off to recover (again yuk!)
Then I have to fix the shoulder....hoping that will be ultrsound and physical therapy.

My long term goal is to shape selected areas, if that is possible. Shoulders and butt are my 2 focus areas, as well as trim tummy roll. so diet and exercise. LOL!!!!

Thanks for all the support. Appreciate the encouragement!

finally found your thread again.. lol
love the measurment thing lady!

feel your pain about the anemic thing, I have to get perscrip iron pill from Dr at times, take a s toll on the energy level thats for sure
sweet that your coming of the meds...and the girls are doing fine?

sending healthy vibes to your shoulders sweetie! hope all goes well with them!

**GirlyGymRat** · 06-15-2012, 10:31 PM

^^^ I really appreciate all the support and encouragement and BA too for bringing me back for an update.

I am now totally off all meds, but still not all are out of system yet. My weight is still at 136 so happy about that. I am still battling the anemia, but everyday I feel alittle better : ))) My hair is still falling out...down to half that I once had, but I ain't bald.

I have been reassigned to a new location and I can't say that it has been all that. I am working with a whole new team of peeps and been taking some hits from one person in particular. This gal is about 6 years my senior and about 200 pounds heavier than me. She has called me "eye candy" during an executive review, makes cracks at my seaweed salad and called my oatmeal old ladies food. She cuts on me everyday cuz I come in dressed like I am going to a wedding...when what she doesnot know is that I had to buy a whole new waredrobe cuz I dropped so many sizes and they are mostly new.

Complete stranger call me a c_nt , first day here in the grocery store...long story, but I am beginning to see that not only are fat girls ridiculed, but thinner gals aren't treated better necessarily. There are haters out there and I never thought I would be treated poorly because I care for myself. I am getting attention from guys too, but I can't say that I like this attention and that I am prepared to deal with it...it gets trying at times, plus I have been working so much.

I have been contemplating lately and hanging out in the AR lounge as a way to escape... My diet has been terrible tooand I am getting upset stomach. I feel like I need a vacation, but can't get away now.

As far as my immediate plan for this thread...not sure at this moment. I am feeling a bit stressed about alot of crap in my life, but I also know that this too shall pass!!!!

**bikeral** · 06-16-2012, 08:23 AM

Hope you get better real soon. Glad you have been hanging out here a lot, you definitively helped me through my lazy period. If I may suggest perhaps you can start logging your diet and try to get that balanced. I know that when the diet is not in check I feel like crap. No need to starve since you are at goal weight but try to eat clean at least M-F and I know you will be feeling better. PM me if I can help in any way.

**GirlyGymRat** · 06-27-2012, 07:51 PM

^^^ thanks. I am feeling better everyday, but did get a little sick with chest cold and sinus so I have had alot of time to think about a direction for myself.

Been thru a lot in the past year. and just found out that I can't lift as much weight as would like, so I am going to work with light weights and zero in on form. and then focus on diet in October right before the holidays

got some big goals for next year

I feel great about this plan!

**GirlyGymRat** · 07-05-2012, 04:49 PM

I have committed to the 2013 Tough Mudder so it will give me focus and a challenge. I am recruiting others to join me, but some aren't interested after they watch the video and others think I am crazy and perhaps they are right

I was surprised when I went out yesterday and ran my "training hill" on 3.8 mile course straight thru. I haven't run in 8 months so I was very very very happy about that!

All is good and plan to jump on the scale, measure and pics - it has been too long! Cheers!!!

**bikeral** · 07-05-2012, 06:38 PM

Hey GGR that tough mudder looks like my kind of thing. I've done a triathlon but this looks a lot cooler. You have peaked my interest.

thx for asking. I've been working too much and so stressed out right now and barely able to workout and stressing about that. It should be just temporary : )

THOSE DANG BAD HABITS (like emotional eating and fast food) came back after a year and a half so I realized what was happening and started to focus on DIET and eat alot (cottage cheese, lean protein, tons and tons of veggies). I am just trying to keep the scale from moving up right now. Sweets are calling my name...like a drug right now.

I have a little 5K run coming up so I really need to focus.

BTW...recruiting for the ToughMudder and I have a few men on my team : ) The gals are backing out after they watch the video : (

**bikeral** · 07-13-2012, 07:55 AM

Keep at it I know you will do well. Next week I signed up for a mini Tough Mudder called Rebel race. only 5k but they have similar obstacles. You really got me into this.

For the Tough Mudder in Oct I've recruited a few guys from work at at least 1 trainer from my gym.

life seems to get in the way sometimes, and that is when you really need to focus! get back in the gym and running, it will help out some with the stress. you know after doing this a while that diet is pretty much the most important aspect of this lifestyle. tell them gals to tighten up!

**SexySweetheart** · 07-13-2012, 01:06 PM

^^^^You need to learn some manners or your time here will be very short lived. We DO NOT speak to female members that way.

**Times Roman** · 07-13-2012, 09:51 PM

would you really speak to a lady like that in person? i sure as sh1t hope not! then why would you do that here?

I'm thinking apologies are in order..........

**Back In Black** · 07-13-2012, 10:52 PM

For me, that should be an immediate ban. GGR, ignore this tool!

What a complete idiot!!!!!!! What gives you the right to even breathe the same air as decent living people you sound like stone age man!!

**gymaddict1234** · 07-14-2012, 05:59 AM

I think they can't get past the mudd...it's only temporary. Tuffmudder is not a timed event, so u can walk. and there are all kinds of events out there anymore - i luv the challenge and the companionship!

dad gummit GGR im gonna have to stop by here more often! u get all the action!!! LOL

**tbody66** · 07-20-2012, 11:52 PM

Truly a happening thread. I am so pleased for all your progress and prayerful for your stress with all you are experiencing in health/life/emotional changes and challenges. You are a lovely person and you are loved you have support here, but everyone needs support in the real world as well. Find a good church home and maybe a gym and I believe you will be blessed and pleasantly surprised with finding the right folks who accept you as you are and encourage you in acheiving your goals, not putting theirs onto you.
