New member....gym rat but want to go further.....any advice?

[dmk777]

Btw..to add to my other response to you, just wanted to let you know I'd start posting up my workouts starting tomorrow (Monday). Revamping my schedule (again!!) today. Took a few days off this week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and sunday..). Had been training for a while for a half marathon and just felt tired and worn out. I typically only take 1 day a week for a rest day so I think this has been good for my body (and my mind). Anyways..(have a tendency to ramble)..I'll start posting workouts tomorrow. Guess I'll need to take me a pen and pad to the gym tomorrow.

Is that how everyone keeps up with their workouts? I mean I remember from last time what I did on certain exercises but I can't remember them all on my own for my whole routine. Will start logging ol' skool from
Now on.

Your diets great Jen. I just use my notepad on my iPhone then I copy and paste it to my log,
Then the week after if any of my weights have changed i just change the weight rather than rewrite it all then again copy and past. If you have any kind of smArt phone it should have an app for note pad.

Hope you had a great weekend with your step son.

Hey gurl I gotta say congrats to you for following your plan.
As for logging workouts, I do it the old fashiond way. I have a pen and tablet on a counter that I write everything down on as I do it.
Dosnt matter how you do it as long as you do it. The only thing about the smart phone thing is unless you print it out you cant go back an look and see how you did at what you did. Right now I have 4 years worth of workouts in a file cabinet. And I do check back every so often just for that very purpose, so that I can see what worked best for me, what caused injuries, the whole nine yards.
Looking forward to seeing your workouts chika!

Ok so here my diet for today. Please folks...give me some
Guidance. I do not get offended easily and if something needs to be changed I definitely want it changed!!

4 or 5 egg white omelet with cheese, tomatoes, onions and a tad bit of salsa

Protein shake with BCAAs powder and few frozen strawberries

Chicken breast and steamed green beans. Diet dr pepper

1 apple slice with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a protein shake with BCAAs and a few strawberries blueberries and raspberries. (protein shake is 120 calories..24 g protein..1 don't think it has any carbs)...I used 4 oz skim milk and the rest water. And 1 turkey hot dog (no bun...just the good ol' wiener!). Lol
Btw..this was my dinner...had to change it up for dinner tonight.

Too many calories? Too little? Just right?

Jen do you have fit day app for iPhone? It's great for calorie counting just based on we don't know weights of your foods we could only guess calorie intake . Looking at your diet I envy it must say though I Sony never heard of turkey hot dogs lol!!

Yeah I am second guessing the turkey hot dog..probably wasn't the best decision! Ha. I'll browse around now and see if there is a fit day app for iPhone. I know I need to keep a calorie count...I've been doing it for the past year and I'm just so tired of having to do it! Ugh!

Ok..found fitday. So let me ask you this...do I count the veggies I put in my omelet (tomatoes, onions)? I mean exactly how detailed do I go here?
