Hams--dust the fluff in 05

[Hams]

Holy shit. Very few women never even think of pushing themselves to that point. I've gotten to the light headed-pass-out stage, but never to the puking.

You are awesome.

Whoa...it's refreshing to encounter someone who appreciates that kind of intensity. Thank you

During your next leg workout, try to do a set of two that takes you to that level (make sure you have a partner there to help you go through it). When you think you can't do any more reps, you probably have 2 or 3 more left in you, and if you do them, you'll shock your body into growing and adapting. Have no fear!

Well, well, well, I'm feeling like a big pile of shit in a brown paper sack today. The immune system is down...something evil has invaded my right nostril...lots of pain and lethargy going on. Blah. If colloidial silver, oil of oregano, and the shitload of supplements I'm taking haven't kicked it by Friday, I'm heading for the Dr. I hate to do it, though. Surprisingly enough, the legs feel pretty good today considering the damage done on Sunday. The diet is still rockin' hardcore. I eat little and often. Let's see if I can recall my meals for the day. Keep in mind that I'm sick right now and the appetite is not where it is normally (I've been cutting on around 2000-2200 calories a day).

8:30 am
1/2 c of our co-op muesli, which I made myself
close to half a cup of my special yogurt
4 egg whites
I might have squirted a little flax oil in there, but I can't remember for sure

11:00 am
about 3 oz of lean beef
1/2 a really sweet and delicious orange
lots of greens with wheat germ on top

1:30 pm
another oz or two of lean beef
2 egg whites
the rest of the orange
1/4 butternut squash

3:30 pm
nearly a quart of my special yogurt

5:30 pm
almost half a cup of cottage cheese
two tablespoons of almond butter
a tablespoon of maca powder

In another hour and a half I'll have more salad and beef with a little flax oil and wheat germ. If I feel like eating something before bed, it'll be cottage cheese and almond butter again, but without the maca. I don't spend a lot of time weighing stuff out and measuring my food. I make a big bowl of salad each night for the next day, throw some meat in there, and eat on it all day long. For carbs, I'll pack a sweet potato or a squash. Sometimes I'll cut up half an apple or pear and throw it in my salad for quality carb energy. When my body feels nourished, I stop. When I feel low on energy, I eat again. I'm learning how to listen and pay attention to the body's reactions to fuel. I am much more sensitive and in tune the 2 days after legs. For example, several weeks ago I had millet as the carb souce in one of my meals the day after legs. I felt I got very little out of it. So, I tried rice for the next meal and felt like I'd been giving a shot of powerful energy. The point is that dieting, more than anything, is a journey of self-discovery. It is amazing what the body will do when given the right fuel. Alright...I'm feeling close to delerious. Now's the time to make my exit.

I'm assuming you're female....cuz there's no selection in your profile....

But Wow!! hard-core leg workout -- diet looks good too!!

Yes. I filled out some of my profile...

Thank you, ma'am! On the intensity scale that workout was about a 6.5. The first time I did legs with these folks, we started with two sets of lunges up a long and steep hill to prefatigue. Next we hopped on The Beast for 6 sets. As if that weren't enough, we superset extensions with stiff legged deads for another 3 sets each. That was an unbelievable experience. It was spiritual. In any case, when working out like that, if the diet isn't on, a body will disintegrate quickly.

Lol...

That sounds like ouch. Unfortunately, we don't have a leg curl machine in the barn But we do have a universal machine with cables. I could make that work like a leg curl machine...Hmmm...do I want to undergo this torture??

I did go to the doc today. Turns out I have impetigo in the right nostril...it's a minor staph infection that a little muriprocin will fix in a couple of days. He said the lethargy, weakness, and fatigue are the result of the iron deficiency, which supplementation is remedying quickly. This is my third day of rest and I've needed every one of them. If I feel up to it tomorrow, I'll work on the back and biceps. If not, I'll rest again. Now I'm off to watch the first season of the Dave Chappelle show.
