Well a no cheat policy stinks when everyone else is!!! I did take a look thus am and I am down from my high of last week. I will stick with this plan as u suggest.
Unfortunately fasted cardiovascular is not an option since I get up so early for the daily commute and start early in the morning.
Been using TRX for 2 weeks and feeling it in new places like really deep in the inner core and side of ARM pit in the back. I wonder when my body is gonna start partitioning my intake. I thought perhaps a good cheat would trigger it. HA!

GGR - if it makes you feel any better, i'm kicking myself for cheating like I did - it's NEVER worth it. It's an impulsive behavior revolved around instant gratification. You feel great for the 2 minutes you're doing it, and feel like sh!t for days after.
Maybe I wasn't physically affected by it, THIS TIME, but I was definitely affected mentally. i.e. I sit there and think of how at the very least, I completely halted progress, and BEST case scenario I didn't set the process in reverse.
A few minutes of fun isn't worth days of depression.

I know it. Was at a "team building" event today and had a cup of chili, burger, fries (not all, but enough) and half a brownie with scoop ice cream ( gave most of it away)....but it wasn't as good later. My tummy has been hurting me all day. I haven't eaten since noonish. Just too much food!!! I have become accustomed to those smaller, lighter meals. I forced myself to lift, but didn't feel like it.....taking an antacid and calling it a day.

i love a woman in hot looking heels!!! how is the trx workouts going?
-
09-01-2011, 10:54 AM #296
I think is too early to say on TRX, although I do like that it mixes up the routine. It is a killer ab workout and I am starting to notice that the chest presses r getting easier. Break into a sweat so I am sticking with it!!
Odd thing happened after last workout. Seems a rib got out of position. I thought I was gonna die. The pain was so Sharp and hurt with every breath. Much better now and I plan to workout tonight with TRX followed by spinning. Gotta luv it!!!!
Had a tough week with eating. Out to lunch twice this week. So full. Too much food. I have got to get my mouth under control for the next 3 weeks. After that, I will be off for a few weeks in recovery mode. I am not looking forward to a month without exercising. I need to maintain for that month off. Not sure how to not gain weight while not working out. New territory for me and scares the daylight out of me.

Sexy...unfortunately I have some experience with ribs! you can go to a chiropractor and sometimes they work themselves back into position...but they hurt like crazy!! I am all better today : )
I wish I could say I have a ton of willpower. I was reflecting on the last 8 months thinking I have kept the weight off for 4 months now, as long as it took me to lose the majority of it...to me, that is a MILESTONE which makes me very happy : )

[QUOTE=00ragincajun00;5737263]i understand the eating out for lunch, but there are healthy options. why won't you be working out for a month? injury?[/QUOTE]
RC and Slimmer...minimum recovery from my upcoming surgery. I am having some tweaks done to the face too, so I won't be able to elevate blood pressure for about 4 - 6 - 8 weeks. If it was just the girls, I could be back to working out in 2 weeks time!
So I will have to retune the diet for a month. I am thinking I need to drop calories or keep at 1300 and see what happens. I havn't been off from working out for so long, it will be really strange to have all this extra time in the evening.....to eat and eat and eat

Sorry to hear about the injury. Do your best to keep carbs very low, fibrous veggies only would be ideal, with 1 good/big carb meal per week. Keep the protein up, and fats relatively low. You should be able to maintain that way.
Good luck, sorry!

Well folks, have come to a conclusion that I must not really want to lose any more cuz I not acting right lately. Last week was horrid. I ate lunch out twice, been nibbling on odd things, like choclate covered raisins and breads, had a few shots of Rum Chata (tastes like a liquid cinnabon - yum) and had movie (small) popcorn with butter and one of those frozen slushies of sugar. Woke up in the middle of the night not feeling good on the tummy! The only good thing, is that I continued to workout. I ran 4 miles yesterday and then hit the hour power pump class...but I am afraid this is a poor substitute for bad "mouth" behavior! I used to do this, eat bad and then try to offset with workout, but I couldn't keep up ; (
I have never posted daily, but I think I need to do this for a few weeks to see if I can get back on track, cause this choo choo had derailed!

GGR - i've been having a tough week also... basically the same problem you're having. Understand that VERY FEW people have this so far perfected that they are like robots... some of the people on this board like Nark, Fireguy, etc. - but remember that they have been at it for YEARS, have both competed and are in a different bracket than us 'mortal' folks.
My point is we have our ups and downs. You cannot constantly be up up up. The point is to catch yourself when you're crashing (which you have... caught yourself that is) and nip it in the bud. You know it may happen again, but never let it TAKE OVER. That's where the real problems happen.
If posting here daily makes you feel accountable, DO IT!!!

Well we must be human then and in the big picture, doing better than most!! Before I wouldn't have given a thought about downing 3 pieces of pepperoni thick crust pizza or eating a huge piece of banana cake after a large dinner.....now it is very different. I question how many Carb grams in that? What the total calories in this? How many more miles must I run to get rid of that? So the TAKE OVER part is what separates us from the masses. EXCELLENT POINT GB
At night I look at my flat tummy (BTW everything looks better when I am lying down, well most everything....I am working on them too!) The flat tummy that I missed for so many years and I just grin There isn't any food that I would let TAKE OVER NOW!
I had to buy some more clothes and found a winter white pencil shirt in a size 4 that rocks my booty! Before I would wear larger sizes and baggy clothes to hide in. Now, the sales gals grab XS and smalls and insists I wear form fitted outfits.......now THAT makes me feel FABULOUS!!!!
-
09-05-2011, 09:44 AM #312
yep....the Take Over part and knowing when to nip it in the bud. And now this happens sooner than later whereas before? Could have stretched out for weeks.....therefore the BIG PICTURE is the key here. Have some fun and then back to business.

PS: I am looking forward to a white pencil thin skirt......GOOD FOR YOU! Like I said when we first met in the hgh section, we have opposite body types~ So man o man this would be a goal for me. I did buy some navy linen pencil skirts this summer for the first time in a long time... but! not a size 4......you are ahead of the game here my dear~

Weekly weigh in on Wednesday and returned to this side of 140. Continue to struggle with diet especially carbs. Still working out 6 days per week until surgery.
Wore my size 2 pant suit and did notice the waist alittle tighter albeit slight.
GNO tonite so trying to conserve calories and eat salad for dinner, but tis the drinks that worry me ; )

I ate okay this week...could have been much worst. GNO wasn't so bad after all. Earlier this week I took off on a 4 mile run and ended up posting 7 and was I SORE THE NEXT DAY in PLACES I normally don't ache...like hip flexers. Today, I ran for an hour at the gym after a power pump class. Not sure what has gotten into me cuz I never really thought running cared much for me.
I am just gonna try to eat clean the next week and a half plus get in as many workouts before my month w/o hiatus starts! See what happens when I get the diet under control for a few days.
Feeling good...feeling strong....and need a little afternoon nap now!!!
