RaginCajun's Daily Log

[RaginCajun]

i managed to catch a great workout this evening, barring the lil injury. i am still having the hunger pains and black coffee is helping some. my diet still isn't sharp but i am working on that and kind of playing with this IF diet thing. i do feel fueled during my workouts and love the fact that i can eat about 1200 cals or so after training.

hang in there buddy, we know that it will all turn around for you soon enough.

I did 30 mins of cardio this evening on the treadmill. Did 20 min at 15 incline and then sprinted a half mile, then stretched

Cardio is the ticket as long as you are not seen wearing a red sweater with snowflakes and little bells trimmed with white fur and sequins

[gbrice75]

Just dropping in to say hi bro, glad to see you still logging. How is progress, physically?

[tbody66]

Have the holidays totally de-railed you yet or are you hanging in there?

Now, if I was chasing that thing in your avi for Christmas, then I might have on an outfit like you described and hence, chasing Ms Christmas!

Thanks for chiming in. Progress has been slow because of a few minor injuries that keep plaguing me, but ultimately, it is my diet choices that are really impeeding my progress and this will get sharper once 2012 rolls around.

[RaginCajun]

Have the holidays totally de-railed you yet or are you hanging in there?

Well, looks like I am more maintaining than anything but I know that can be changed by me simply eating better food choices. I figure I will just ride out the last two weeks of 2011 and then ramp it back up 2012!

[tbody66]

riding the year out is a fine choice.

Well, my workouts, I give 110%! I don't half ass anything! Well, maybe my diet is half ass but that's it

[RaginCajun]

so, i have been doing some number crunching and think i have my plan. i need to step it up in 2012. i accomplished every goal i set out except for me keeping the 20 pounds lost. i saw 176 on the scale this year and that was my mark. i do not have a number in mind this year, more or less want to recomp my body, and thus, strip it of body fat. i need and will find that motivation that i had last year and if signing up for races and what not does that, then so be it. i am hoping that my shoulders would be feeling fine now, but not the case. i am thinking i still need a MRI on my left one but do not have the time for it. here is my new plan for 2012:

NEW PLAN

We have a misletoe up between our dining room and kitchen and it stays up all year long and my wife and I kiss underneath it for ten seconds every day when she comes home from work. I even got a sign from a friend this year that reads "what happens under the misletoe, stays under the misletoe!" I'll post a pic when I get the chance!

Man that is great to hear that two love birds can share that everyday! You have a special one my friend!

Had a great workout last night, even attempted some incline pushups. Weight was 182 but I look somewhat leaner in some areas to where I was 182 two months ago.

Whether you were the "Super Bowl Champions" last year, or didn't win a single game, we all get the chance to "start a new season". When we do this everyone is level again, all teams start with a 0 win 0 loss record. It is time to improve or maintain the things that worked and to dump the things that didn't. The most important ingredient of all is consistency. So I'm praying for this for all of us here on the boards! May 2012 be the year of consistent improvement and progress to a healthier and happier us!
