Good day...got spray tanned tonight, going to a concert tomorrow so I'm gonna cook tomorrow's meals here in a bit since I'll be gone all day...no excuses! Eating my Tupperware meals in the car on the drive, before the concert, and on the way home. THEN wednesday I fly out to Vegas for the rest of the week. Gonna be busy but I won't miss my meals or workouts. Dedication!
 
In vegas for the week peeps. Did normal back day on Tuesday followed by 30min cardio. I traveled yesterday, was my off day anyway...I'm still following my diet to a T...as far as my workouts, I'm going off the plan.

Today for instance I did shoulders, so I did my old faithful GVT shoulder workout, some of you are familiar as I've sent it to you upon request. Felt nice to shock my body a little...followed up with 30min cardio.

I'm going freestyle the rest of the time here, so I probably won't post it unless it's requested.
 
Had a KILLER upper body workout yesterday...did chest, back, bi, and tri. Started the day with fasted morning cardio as well

Had my cheat meal last night! Hooters...fried pickles, cheeseburger, and a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. Was nice to not eat out of a Tupperware container for once lol...back on the meal plan today for another week, Friday is now my cheat meal day.

Last day in Vegas. Having an amazing time hanging out with millionaires lol

QUESTION!!!! Anyone flown recently? Can I bring my meals in Tupperware as my carry on?
Click to expand...

Not too long ago I carried on a Tupperware of fruit mixed with yogurt. I was afraid they would say that the yogurt was a liquid that couldn't go through, but I had it out as I went through security and they were totally cool about it (this was Colorado Springs).

It comes and goes in BOTH big toes now. Maybe bunyon issues? Not sure. Gonna schedule an appointment with my doc this week and see what's up. The only thing really affected is lunges, when I put weight on the toe it gets aggravated

Hmm, ya if you can get an MRI (if it's that bad) it's worth it. When it happened to me I thought this is stupid, it's my toes! But I did the 1/2 marathon and then I was very much side-lined. Turned out to be bursitis, both sides! I thought that was something you got in your much later years? Mortons neuroma too and some tendinitis. Check soon...I was over training with the runs near the end. Not that this is your case but the feet are weird little suckers! Not 100% convinced full rest off the feet is necessary, however. Obviously I'm not a doc. Keep me posted!
 
Hey girl...I haven't been on much for awhile but looks like you're doing amazing! I'm so impressed with your dedication and work ethic! :)

whats your cheat meal

Sent from my GT-I9000 using EliteFitness
 
It varies. Last Friday was my first cheat so I had a cheeseburger at the hooters hotel in Vegas with cake afterwards lol...this time I'll have a subway with Reese's for dessert. I don't go overboard, just get a little of what I miss during the week.

I want mudbugs bad....again

I just want fucking chocolate. Ugh

Might have subway cookies with my sandwich tomorrow lol AND Reese's. We will see. I can't eat a lot now since my meals are so small, I couldn't have Reese's last Friday, I could barely finish my piece of cake.

Chocolate is the main thing I miss. Besides that I'm good

Thank you! And thanks for speaking up lol

We should make this a requirement. Speak-up Saturdays or something so I know you guys are still here
 
Your killin the weights and you log your routine extremely well and rockin the cardio... Cant wait for some pics after the show.
 
I'm too lazy to go back and check, how many weeks til the show?
And as far as training goes, is your aim to go up in weight each or every couple workouts or are you pretty much just staying the same with weights?
 
A little over 9 weeks now

With upper body I go up in weight if I feel like it. With legs however I'm cautious because I don't want my knee to explode
 
Hey PSizzle! You're making some awesome progress! I just flipped through your log here and man...you are just rocking it! Keep up the hard work, it will pay off!!!
 
Today was an off day per coach...just did double cardio

In about a week I start my drugs courtesy of Venom...will be running some AIs, var, probably some T3...can't wait, it's like seeing your gifts before Christmas lol. Love me some Venom, can't wait to see the transformation once they're a part of it.

Followed by my favorite cardio, an HIIT circuit. I go from the treadmill to the bike to the treadmill to the stepmill to the treadmill. Good shit.

Clothes are fitting differently seems like every day now. I wake up looking forward to how I look in the mirror. Definitely a perk of following a strict diet to a T, that's the main thing here

Then did my favorite HIIT circuit tonight. As bad as I wanted to skip, I didn't. My competition isn't taking a day off, why should I?
At this point in the game, I'm doing cardio 7 days a week. No more early class thank gosh so it won't be hell waking up to do fasted. Will be doing fasted cardio from here on out...I have a feeling coach is gonna prescribe two a days soon. We will see.

And.. I'M LOVING MY VENOM!!! Using Venom for all my contest prep needs...if you guys need goodies just PM me ;)
 
Hello everyone,

Psizzle, what's a good substitute for grapefruit. Though I love it I can no longer eat it due to a medication my doc prescribed? Im looking to change up my meal plans. Mainly clean lean meats and greens but I'm not sure where to fit in fruit. You're transformation is amazing.
 
Thank you!

I've read where oranges can be a decent substitute, but please don't quote me on that. I'd ask your physician.

Problems arise when mixing grapefruit and meds because chemicals in the fruit can interfere with the enzymes that break down (metabolize) the medication in your digestive system. As a result, the medication may stay in your body for too short or too long a time. A medication that's broken down too quickly won't have time to work. On the other hand, a medication that stays in the body too long can increase to potentially dangerous levels, causing serious side effects. This occurs because of specific 'ingredients' in the grapefruit itself...as far as substitutes without this ingredient, like I said, do not quote me, but oranges would be my guess (as far as similarity...maybe pineapple or other citrus fruits). Please ask your physician!
 
Today was my off day...woke up EXHAUSTED, sore, allergies were acting up...I just wanted to stay lazy.

Did I? Nope. My competition isn't taking a day off, why should I?
