Doing good BG keep it up!

Thanks Dr. Pepper! It sure isn't easy..but I'm I'm hanging in there!

[Ms.Magoo]

I feel like drinking a ton of extra water helps to diminish the cramping You're doing great!!

[tbody66]

lmao

I think you are confusing "mission" with "missionary"(as in "position")

Okay so just finished day 2 of the workout. Weirdly enough I feel better than the other day. I'm really sore but I don't feel sick. Yay. I wonder if it's because we took breaks between body parts, not long breaks but like a minute or so. But that may have helped me catch my breath...My forearms feel like they're gonna cramp up though.

I'm glad it's getting better, even if just slightly.

Yes water and also you can take a 1/2 of an aspirin with a cup of caffeinated coffee 15 minute prior to the workout, this will help lots.

[SexySweetheart]

..the girsl working it fo sure!
LOVE IT!

[BrownGirl]

Thanks TBody and Ms. Magoo...I should start drinking more water...

And thanks Sexy, us girls sure are working hard!

Also LMAO at Tbody and Slimmer on the "mission"! LOL

Another hour of fasted cardio this morning. This evening I got a bit lazy and didn't make the pancakes. Just made some oats instead. I do love oats which is weird since about 2 years ago I had never tried oats and refused to even taste it until Slfmade talked me into it. Since then, I've loved them!

[SlimmerMe]

^^ I never ate oats until the pancakes.......

an hour of fasted~ impressive

[slfmade]

Really? Wow..well you started with a good recipe! Those pancakes are pretty awesome! Thanks for the recipe again. Oh and thanks on the cardio...It gets boring sometimes but I just watch reruns of Fresh Prince of Belair. lol

[BrownGirl]

Yep, She's my little trooper!!!

Awww thanks honey!

[tbody66]

Awww thanks honey!

Kid's, get a room!

[SlimmerMe]

^^ I think they have a few already.....

[BrownGirl]

Hahaha TBody and Slimmer!

[BrownGirl]

Can't help it...It was our 4 year anniversary yesterday!

[BrownGirl]

Day 3 of the workout = DONE.

Upped the weight on a couple of exercises, did 20 assisted pullups on each set instead of 10 and 40 crunches on each set instead of 30. Pretty exhausted but every time I do this I feel like I accomplished something.

Hate my Whey/Casein shake. It tastes like crap And cottage cheese isn't that great either.

On the plus side, I've gained about a pound!!!! And I'm pretty sure it's muscle. YAY!!

[tbody66]

True, but they chat with each other on their threads from seperate rooms. So it's nice to know at least they can act like they want to be together, even though the workout their on makes them not able to do anything about it.

LOL I won't let the workout stop me!!! Lol that's what cardio days are for!

I have a different psyiology. If I don’t eat as soon as I wake up, I get grumpy and irritable. If I don’t eat something every few hours, I get grumpy and irritable. So a fasted cardio doesn’t work for me, because….


“I’d get grumpy and irritable” =)

Haha I know the feeling...That's why the Intermittent Fasting diet would probably not work for me...I need food every couple of hours too. But with this calorie increase, I'm dreading my meals now!

[Times Roman]

May I make a funny observation?
I notice that a majority of our current regular female members make “progress logs” threads such as yours. Once they have created the thread, in large part, they keep a good chunk of their activity to within the thread. Like you have created your own environment, a place for you to go, or like a “nest”.

Most of male members forgo the nest , and instead are out there freelancing other peoples threads.

I smile when I write this, because it is a good example of some of the differences between the guys and the gals. I could even extrapolate this into populations at large, and say those that make nests on bulletin boards are more prone to feel comfortable in their own nest, as opposed to other people’s nests. Even more so, that if the nesters had a choice between dinner in their nest or someone else’s nest, they would probably choose their nest.

Pseudo psychology is so much fun, isn’t it?

[Dr Pepper]

Yep those Slimmerme pancakes are great!!

Ahh fresh prince I love that show! But we don't many reruns anymore on tv in Australia

I was able to do fasted AM cardio while cutting cause I was working towards a goal. But I'm the same if I don't eat every few hours I start getting grumpy! Especially at work

you are lucky

the problem with Will Smith, is he is exactly the same character every movie/show. just different circumstances

Interesting observation.
And interesting how the male sticks to group "think" aka Lounge Lizards. They rarely ever leave the lounge. Some have no idea we are even over here. Until we go over there.

Thanks Doc!

Good job BG, you're doing great!!! Oh and with the crappy tasting whey/casein shake, maybe try a different brand??? IDK just a suggestion

[GirlyGymRat]

congrats on that gain! awesome...it is working!!!

[BrownGirl]

Thanks all!!! I'm excited!

Times, that is indeed an interesting point...It's definitely true! And I take it you're not a fan of Will Smith lol.

Ms. Magoo, yeah I'm going to change it up after I get done with this container...man, it's expensive stuff!

[Ms.Magoo]

..man, it's expensive stuff!

Ugh!!!! I completely agree with you, wish I knew how to just make it myself for wayyyyy less but with my cooking/baking abilities it would turn out tasting like ass lol!!!

[BrownGirl]

Rest day....Not wavering from my diet though....

[BrownGirl]

Also cooked for 5 hours!!! I'm exhausted...At least we have a week's worth of food now.

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ I do the same thing on one day....it works...you got it ready to go to stay on track! yay!!!!

[-KJ-]

Being thinking about doing the same... ATM I cook 3 days/week. I guess its not trusting the stored foods... (chicken/green beans/rice etc)

Good for you!

I am sure it does....

Me too.

[BrownGirl]

Well, some foods I freeze...but most I just leave in the refrigerator. I try not to leave broccoli inthe fridge just because it smells. And anything with tuna and eggs I try to make every 2 days so that it doesn't sweat. So far I haven't had any issues...so got my fingers crossed!!! lol

[BrownGirl]

Good for you!



I am sure it does....



Me too.

Slimmer, I recommend it...I know it's a pain to do it all at once, but once you're done, you're DONE!!!

[tbody66]

I am glad you are here and posting and doing well, keep it up!

[RaginCajun]

sounds like you are on a roll girl, keep it up! its always easier to do this when you other half is committed, cheers!

[PPC]

Adam Sandler too.

Wow that's awesome BG!!! I cooked for only two hours today and was soooo done, obviously I don't love cooking but it is a must when eating healthy!!!

[tbody66]

It seems like I haven't heard a workout update lately....hmmmmm
