Is getting the chills a symptom of over training or just a bit of random info? I've been noticing I'm getting the chills during and after my workout laity.

I never got the chills. Just pulled and torn muscles and tendonitis.

[GirlyGymRat]

I have no clue.

And I don't know what over training is?

Ask GGR, she seems to know about the stuff

Sassy. Sooooo sassy. Lol

[GirlyGymRat]

Damn, just noticed I haven't posted anything in almost a week, and you will be happy to know GIrly that I rested some.

Well, in PCT now so hoping to keep my gains without lifting weights with my upper body. I plan on a leg day Wednesday.

Over the past week, I have done an hour long walk, rode 16 miles, and ran 3.2 miles today.

It seems that all of muscles, tendons, and ligaments are really tight, so I bought a massage torture tool roller! I have been using it daily but in the spots where it really hurts (elbow and left thigh/iT band) when I really dig deep. I am bruised from it!!!! Which brings another point to mind that I bruise so easy and heal slow like molasses. I have always been this way, could this be a sign of anemia? When I worked in a lab, I would get my blood tested a lot but the tests never showed anything (CBC). I wish I knew what was wrong with me in that sense. I broke my right arm twice playing/throwing a baseball because I had a bone cyst in which my bone was basically hollow. But guess what, it never stopped me from playing!!!

U need to get a physical. And blood work. And take a yoga class. And get yourself some Dead Sea salts. Soak for at least 20 minutes. Pulls those toxins right out of your body. Works for a hang over too.

why would i need to get a physical? i know i need some blood work but not sure what panels to get. all of my past CBC showed nothing wrong in regards to bruising and healing.

dead sea salts? explain this a little more (like epson salt i am assuming). i am not one to soak, but i may have to try this. i don't really get hang overs, just normally feel tired. never any headaches or anything like that. call me lucky i guess

yoga is on my list but i have been working so late at night that i have missed every class! i plan on trying to go wednesday night! it is difficult for me to just sit at my place and do yoga, just not the same without yoga pants staring ya in the face!!!

At my doctors they run BW with a physical.

Dead Sea salts for soaking. Better then Epson salt. Google for the benefits and supplier. I order in bulk 20 lbs at a time. Cheaper in bulk. Takes away those aches and pains.

I haven't been to yoga class in 10 months. I miss it for flexibility!

[RaginCajun]

in PCT, still holding at 178lbs (started cycle at 166-168lbs) and look the same even though i have not been lifting weights. i am hoping this damn elbow thing heals up because i am really missing the weights!

diet has been good and i went back to IF style dieting since i am not training hard core at the moment. so far, the hunger pangs have not been there like they were in the past even though i could rip to pieces my lunch right now!!!

totally forgot about it babe!

i have used it before but my opinions on it are still mixed.

thanks hun!

[RaginCajun]

well, just wanted to update. looks like i lost a lot of this cycle mass in regards to not being able to train with weights, but i am leaner than i was when i started. i can start to see the outline of where my abs will be. the top two are starting to try to peek out, so may reach my goal i set out in january, which was to see any part of my abs by my 32nd b-day (it is in October). diet has been the key since i have not been training hard. i have been walking and riding my bike some, but not anything near to what I was doing before.

weight today was 169lbs on the nose. i still have a damn knot in my right calf so still not going hard core yet. work has also been really killing me as regards to posture and time. been working my tail off! well, that is all for now, carry on!

^^^ abs are nice. I hope to see more of mine also in the weeks to come

[RaginCajun]

45 min of fasted cardio, done!

I am slowly trying to get my body back into training hard core again. Prob gonna still have to lay off the weights because of tendinitis, but my cardio is about to increase slowly.

I have been thinking about doing the MS 150, from Houston to Austin next spring. It is a 150 mile bike ride split up into two days. I will first have to see if my body can take that abuse, so looking for a training program that progresses slowly.

Diet has been good lately but had a lil cheat day yesterday.

[RaginCajun]

I still have a ways to go but I can see where they are going to come in at. Still have some flub to get rid of!

thanks tbuddy!

[RaginCajun]

Pissed excellence this morning!

Did a full body/circuit type workout. Took it easy on the upper body cuz of the elbow but had a nice squat session.

Weight today is 171lbs and I am def leaner than I was two months ago. I can see some changes.

[RaginCajun]

I wanted to add that I am starting Aust's fat loss stack again. I did it when I was on cycle a few months ago, but my diet was not as good as it is now. I also have fewer distractions going on in life so really been trying to focus on getting my body right. I wish I could go thru just one day and not feel any discomfort or pain.

I ordered Aust's fat stack since you recommended. Should get it this week.

Get used to the pain, it only gets worst when you get older. bahahaha

I've been really curious about some yoga but I just don't have the time to learn.. and I'd like to find some good moves for stretching and keeping my functionality up as well as helping my flexibility. Any good resources you could recommend? YouTube vids, websites?

25 min of stationary biking and 20 min on the treadmill. It's raining!

Wanted to add that I have not any protein powder in a long time. I have just been eating whole foods.

I plan on getting back into a routine because I know I need structure to stay disciplined!
