She's got 2 bunnys she keeps in jail in our rec room. If she keeps the cage clean (not likely), they don't stink too bad. if she lets it go a coupla days the ammonia smell is purty strong. They're fuggin noisy at night, banging their dishes around. They do nip occasionally, but I don't think they've ever actually bitten. They chew through just about anything, so computer, sterio, and TV wires are endangered.

Notes to self:

· I can feel my left side lag and right side take over when lifting some weights (re: upper body). SOMETIMES the opposite happens with the lower body, it’s so bizarre. I correct it when I notice it. I may have to add more ‘fluff’ to work on neuromuscular conditioning & isolateral work. I’d like to start doing yoga & stretching in my living room daily, see if I can make that work.

· My traps sometimes look huge to me, I feel they take away from my delts… they even give an appearance of me hunching & I have a hard enough time with posture as it is. I may not train these heavy anymore; they are activated when I do just about anything it’s starting to aggravate me. That along with the hypertension in my neck & constant need to be adjusted (snap crackle pop)… :evil: The random panic attacks are driving me nuts.. I need another massage.. ugh Im broke

· Tues & Wed were low carbs and low cals … maybe that’s testament to my lagging energy today and just overall feeling of BLAH. Today will be mod – high carb I think, Im running out of food & hate to charge it but I just may have to get it over with… no way I can wait until the 30th to EAT. :chomp:

· Mood – CRAB@$$, I know I know nothing new :rolleyes:
 
Hope the mood improves! :heart: And girl, just go ahead and charge the food...you need the nutrition and that definitely can help improve how you're feeling overall!

:rose::rose::rose:

Nice lifting :qt: :)

I'll do shrugs for you ;)
Thanks... YA lol You have such a gift for pulling, they are all yours. It's not that they are hard, just something about my body is liking them and blowin' UP!

I called & booked a 75 min deep tissue with Katie @ 5 ... I am so uncomfortable when I feel like this it had to be done. I have to suck it up & consider it money well spent for the lifestyle I chose to live.

If I am not in pain tomorrow I will flip flop my training this week to train Incline Chest tomorrow & maybe another day off before hitting Legs again. Need to EAT :chomp:

If it helps push you, and motivate you... I'm glad to have helped (I got it from animalpak.com ... great inspiration there).

It really doesn't have a lot to do with my reality, but it does in some aspects. & that's what I use. :redhot:
 
Awwe, bunny, I hope you get some pep in your step ASAP! :heart: Also, being stuck in an office during each and every minute of daylight always puts a damper on my mood.

I like todays picture and quote :) Hope that mood picks up for ya hun! :rose: Atleast tomorrow is Friday right?!?
I just posted the meditation today, you sure you have the right log? :heart: Thank you for the positive vibes up in here, that goes for everyone. Yes tomorrow is friday but I have to go to a wake. Not anyone I was close with but you all know how wakes in general go. I'll be happy when that is over and I can go home and do nothing. :) lol

I wanna hear how amazing that massage was :) :heart:
Well, lol, for the hour it was great, had to cut it short since she was overbooked with no breaks so I let her take the 15 min. :) She had a 2 hour deep tissue before me then another one after me without any time to change the room or eat, or rest. Remember the culter guy taking 2-4 hours off after working on jay? lol that's how I felt for her but with no break.

Im a wreck. Can't get in until the 2nd so I pre booked it. She teaches me little things to do to get by so if I can do them on myself I'll do my best. Hard when the issues are my upper/middle back... lats in the way :evil:

Thanks for asking. :)
 
Trying to keep to my word here are side by side back pics for my progress, Week 1-2-3 give or take a few days
comparisons_week1_2_3.jpg


Depending how I hold the camera or angle in the mirror :rolleyes: lol, one side may look different than the other but I think the pic I took today (far right) shows the symmetry more accurately.

Diet has been ok last 6 days, not the way I planned for the entire 3 weeks, but I'm working on it. Hopefully more improvements weeks to come and other comparision shots when I have time to upload/save/crop etc., kinda busy I need to be better with taking daily pics or having some one take them for me (charging digital batt now :))

The Pictures - If you can/can't see a difference please tell me. No matter my diet was crappy.

The Numbers - I weigh the same in the 1st & 3rd picture, 2nd week I have no records of weight ... The Body Fat from the 1st week was 25.51%, from the 3rd week 25.44% saying I LOST 1.07 lbs LBM as well.

So, I feel the pics tell a different story than the #'s ... but then again I let go of the # obsession long time ago ;)

Workout coming up...

Definitely have nice lats :) to me the 3rd one looks like your lats are a little bigger. Some may be the arm positioning is a little lower with the camera giving the full affect of what you have had all along that the first 2 didn't capture. The arms higher stretches them out a little. Posterior delt on the 3rd one looks bigger. Possible because not holding the camera in the same hand so you could fully activate it? Or else it got bigger... Duh I keep adding to this, ha ha.. They also look a tiny bit more cut I can see on the left shoulder and arm.
Good job ;)

hehe, the deeper the better :evil: ... good stuff :)

RE PIC UPDATES:

Can you fly with those lats? ;) :chomp:

You REALLY need something consistant in the photos to compare... hard to tell much... looks like in week 3 your mid back is leaner though.

Keep with no razer back and get your waist in the shot too like the 1st one for more cirtiqage :)

I just want to pull that hair back... grrrrr *teef grinin' grrr* lol

Week 3 looks the best hands down... I will add that :D

I can see a deff. difference in your lats, and shoulders - even from 2 to 3. Have to say those are the least visable progress pics I can remember from you...............
Thanks for the comments...Can you elaborate least visable?

I meant picture clarity - mega pixels or something like that - you need a personal photographer - I bet if you let a few fellas know you needed someone to do progress pics and measurements you might get a few offers......... maybe

Thanks for the feedback. They are also two different cameras lol. Yes the hand holding the camera usually gives a softer appearance so I'll switch to convince myself it's not that I'm that asymmetrical, it's the photograper :) Add all you want, I asked.

Here is a lowered arm pic side by side from 2 to 3

CK & Duck :bigkiss: :heart:

Al forgot to add, taking measurements really does nothing for me. They usually go up or stay the same, from bulk to cut. The shape of the muscle is different. For those that say you cannot reshape a muscle, I call bullshit b/c I've done it.

Anywho, sorry for the blurry crappy pics. I just wanted to post something to get some feedback. I'll try to get better ones next time.

Thanks for the comments.

O.k. off of those to me it shows your lats did in fact get bigger. Am I seeing things off?! But (looking at the picture not your actual body orientation) the left Delt and right lat look bigger then the opposites. Hopefully that's not to nit pickey but that's what I like to hear when people critique me.. The little things as well as the overall picture :heart:

No, I see things all the time when I look at these that's why I put them out there as is lol. Every little tiny thing, I see and I nitpick to no end. You know when you get the "you are being too hard on yourself" speech, in my head, I'm really like, dang, I was just reporting what I see, etc. Same page chica.

I only have 1-2 other people who can see me daily or weekly to assess the difference and it's not that the critique doesn't matter, posting keeps me motivated and I want to hear what you all have to say. :)

Any/all critique appreciated.

Well Done.

Major difference in rear delt/rhombiod/midback detail
Thanks Shadow. I've been meaning to ask you... about calories
* the project I cut at around 1600-1800 cals ...
* the 2nd cut, it was more 1800-2300 cals ...
* this time around, with the RMR reading of 2678 cals, what are your thoughts on keeping the calories in the (generic) Weight Loss Zone of 2144 to 2678 cals?

I say generic because per the 'test' that was the suggested cal intake
Total Energy Output = RMR + Lifestyle + Exercise
according to the results...
3757 cals = 2678 cals RMR + 801 cals Lifestyle + 278 cals Exercise

***NOTE*** ^^ Exercise figure is based on only 30 MINUTES @ a moderate exercise Level... I would say I am at least 2-3 x that amount.

Given my previous cuts do you think that figure is kinda high?

If you want some #'s, ref. the 2nd cut ^^ with the 1800-2300 cal ratio:
Time 12 weeks
Starting/Ending Weight - 180 lbs / 162.14 lbs
Starting/Ending Bodyfat - 25% / 13%
Starting/Ending Lean Body Mass - 135.10 lbs / 139.79 lbs

My goal is to work the strength as hard as I can until I stall, and when/if I stall soon, the focus is going directly to Fat Loss.

yeah....seems a bit high to me.

I would cut on the same number of cals per pound of bodyweught...that is as close to the same relative environment that you had before.

HIIT and things really throw off those calculators.

I htink ifi you hit 2100 during thr week and 2500ish on a carb/fill up on the weekend - I think you would see great gains

Ok show me, so when I get someone to take my pics with a camera that isn't the :devil: I can post it :)

C's got a VERY nice camera but does not do ANYthing for me in my condo, NO IDEA why ...

I do remember inadvertantly zig zaging the cals too , I think a high day would be around the 25-2600 mark. Thank you.

I just get really worried because I MUST cut down for something in Jan. It is a MUST... that is why I wanted to employ some sort of a carb rotation and let the strength focus fade if it starts dipping. I'm weighing my options & trying to get back on track.

...maybe think about a lower carb diet initially.....25% carbs.....then IF you plateau - do the rotation.

You can go full bore on a cutting diet for 6-7 with no fat loss slow down

Funny that the #'s would tell you otherwise eh? No I am not trying to put on muscle... maintain it yes, lose some? May be inevitable. I was trying to work on my strength until I stall, then switch to #1 priority fat loss. Fat loss & Muscle maintence are = right now.
 
Does your camera have a timer? I set mine on a shelf & set the timer, & make sure the lighting is on the area being shot, but not too bright.

...maybe think about a lower carb diet initially.....25% carbs.....then IF you plateau - do the rotation.

You can go full bore on a cutting diet for 6-7 with no fat loss slow down
I know I know .. :evil: Overzealous ... guilty.

No matter what you are working in you are still very inspiring.

Just thought you should know.
 
Vel I love your sig.

Thanks for the visits everyone. I was seriously illin' last few days... scared me even. Feelin' better. I haven't eaten a solid meal in 3 days so tomorrow should be yummy and hope not to overdo it since stomach is still raw.

:rose:

I am again a bit frustrated since my progression with this strength cycle was going so well, I would start to hit PRs on both bench & squat this week ... another few steps back... so Im not sure where to go from here, just going to let my body recover from this 'flu' or whatever is was/is.

On a positive note I decided on a show in May. That's all Im going to say or comment about it.

Have a great holiday for those celebrating.

:heart:
 
The good news is that you're feeling better in time for Thanksgiving (which I hope is a cheat day from the diet, lol).....Getting sick in the middle of a good training cycle is always frustrating, but it can be dealt with. I'd just reset the weights a week or 2, and by the time you get back into PR territory, you should be well-fed and 100%.

You are right. I was just thinking about you, mostly as what you will eat for the holiday lol :chomp: but you answered my question. I'll assess the strength as I go but not going to push it... I cannot stand setbacks but my life is full of them for a reason so time to stop being overwhelemd by them, just overcoming them.

Lemme tell ya, I ached in places that were THE MOST odd spots lol ... from my groin (lymphnodes crazy irritated) to literally my finger tips.. I couldn't even drink water for the first 6 hours, not even suck on ice chips without well, where's the smiley for this :sick: ... I would crawl from the couch to the kitchen, make it half way and stop for a breather.

I had 60 minutes yoga today. I was tired walking up my stairs and wanted to quit after 8 min warm up on the elliptical. I have my #'s from last squat workout. I threw in bi's & tri's on that day since I didnt hit em with chest. There is a bunch of new life fintess equipment, diff from the old body masters set ups and dang, I had to cut my tricep push downs in HALF!! The weights were SO different (when I was 100% healthy) I think that was Saturday Morning.

T - I hit my + 5 back squat day 2 for 5 reps (aim was 4) so that went well with no knee back issues, until well two days later when I was on my temp death bed.

Praise the lord of the bunnies that is over...

:evil:

I've started a new training routine with Future. It's called DC Training. I had to retrain my mind and forget about the way I was training before. It doesn't seem like it would be much doing a warm up set (straight set) and then a rest/pause set (heavy weight, shoot for around 8 on the first one, rest for 20 deep breaths, another set, rest, another set......and then your done. It is harder than it looks and I always feel it, ie: doms. See my log to get an understanding.

Hey.....I'll call you sometime soon. Want to catch up! :kiss:

Hey girl!! I was just coming to find you! Ugh I do NOT like getting sick... I feel one week off has set me back immensely ... esp when strength is my goal (at least until that tapers off, which may be sooner than later due to the recent setback).
:whatever: Hope you had a good holiday! :heart:

bunny...how was your thanksgiving? did you get your appetite back? i had a dream you were basting me with turkish juice last night...weird :silly:
I HOPE you are kidding :FRlol:

T day was good, felt crummy all day. Didn't pig out or anything, ate what I could. Had to hit up two places so got a taste of cornbread stuffing vs my pops special goodies. I really enjoy being able to celebrate with my family, I just wish I felt a little better.

I cannot remember if it was last year or the year prior, I sat there & watched them eat, then an hour later heated up my chicken tater & veggies and ate alone... at the time it didn't phase me but now I think about it I wanna kick myself. Guess it all depends on my goals at the time. Glad Im not so uptight with food anymore (as long as there is no comp or date Im preparing for).

How was yours?
 
HiDnGoD said:
You ran up the slide? You didn't get yer feets wet? :lmao: That looks tough. Your calves really feel that?
Not as much as they SHOULD!!! :evil: My traction on these kicks are not as good as I'd hoped. Running up if you are on your toes (which you kinda have to be when running UP) will hit them. The slope is wicked steep ... I have yet to try walking up backwards, that KILLS the hams & glutes .. I just feel I'm going to fall forward and go tumbling :D

The stairs, when running, up or down, you use mostly your toes b/c the steps are not stable. If you walk them you will still have a HR of 160-180 when you hit about 1/2 3/4 way to the top. It's a KILLER workout.
 
lol Thanks ladies :rose: I am SORE today ... ant delts & calves... I am guessing the negatives did it, and the dang slides :evil: good :)

Have a great Sunday everyone! Wow last 4 days flew by...

Shit, everyone seems to be getting sick. Hope you girls are feeling better. I've got big eating plans for X-Mas so I've got to get better soon!!

^^ for the last few days (not the day after, two days after :evil: ) My calves had been owned... NEVER with any other exercise, whether high/low volume or high/low weight have they ever been like this.

I wanna do it again :FRlol: Too bad it's been raining & wet, I'd fall down that thing if I attempted those again.. trying to figure out where I can re-create then movement... running on the tread at full incline MAY be semi accurate but slide incline is steeper.

UGH

Finally up to go the gym to get some blood flowing in the legs. Legs day will not be heavy a usual today (at least I dont think)

Have to change things up again... strength focus taking a back seat to cutting. Fun fun fun

Looks like a great day! got your work-out in, Food all selected out (mostly), a good quote, and another great reminder to me to shoot for 2 gallons. I have been a lot better minus sunday this past week. I've been getting at least 6 to 8 qts. When do you start school? What classes?

Thanks Treil. I am hoping so. I have a 90 min deep tissue sat. so Im excited about that. Im trying to get my water in but been hard for some reason, probably b/c I don't have my 1 L bottles to refill every hour :jarswim:

School, Jan 18th. I have to retake all my sciences so I am starting with Biology and A & P with cadaver :) Love the dead bodies. I also signed up for the CPR course to get a credit & get that out of the way .. I need it for my NASM cert anyway. and it's cheaper to take it through the school. :) 9-5 on a saturday, ugh 8 hours my ass hurts thinking about it.

My brain doesn't function like it use to so Im kinda nervous about the load but I cannot withdraw from any classes or they won't let me come back for another year. That's motivation enough for me.
