Per Shadow's motivational thread & pissy little rant moment, I'm starting the official record of my re-quest for the ultimate body. I know its doable because I did it before.

Goals:
Weight - 140-145 lb maintenance
BF - 15%

Muscle is not an issue here - I got lots of it, but obviously I am interested in maintaining it.

Quick note for context, I've been working w/ a chiropractor for the last 6-ish weeks to correct some lower back soft tissue & tendonitis problems I have. Cardio really helps my back in the morning and training I'm still putting together since I sort of just got the go-ahead from the chiro to start back.

Current stats coming some time this week....
- Weight: 160
- Height: 5'7"

12/27/04:

Supps:
selenium, Vit e (recommended by chiro to supplement a deteriorating disk I have)
multi
vit C
t-1000x (thyroid supp) - for shits & grins - wanted to try it
t-rex
MSM / Glucosamine - helps w/ joints
r-ala - w/ meals also

Good luck with your program. Hope you can get your back issues worked out! I think I may start a log here too. Seems like a good idea.

Sassy -- what kind of turkey patties do you get for your M1?? They sound yummy!
 
These are Pilgrim's Pride -

97% fat free
Per serving:
- 130 cal (25 cal from fat)
- total fat: 3 g
- sodium: 320 mg
- total carb: 1 g
- protein: 24 g

I get them at Costco in bulk and grill a couple every few days. Even though they are very low fat, they don't taste dry to me. I will admit I have gotten used to eating REALLY stripped down food, these are good. I love vinegar so I will usually just slice the pattie & eat it w/ mustard.
 
OK I'm starting to get a little more organized here. I recently moved & thought I had this great little food counts book packed somewhere, but it seems I've tossed or lost it. :worried: So I started setting up in fitday.com. There was some discussion about a supp I use, T-100X - for thyoid support. The one thing to keep in mind when you are manipulating your thyroid (or just monitoring for optimal functionality) is to take your resting body temp, e.g. right when you wake up. I use a digital thermometer for this. Also expect to get pix on Sat & do the dreaded caliper measures.

So:

Waking body temp: 98.1 degrees
supps - same, added Echinecea + goldenseal, kyolic garlic - cuz I feel a cold snooping around. Also replaced my flax seed oil w/ fish oil.

Meal 1 - 7:30 am
1 grilled turkey pattie
1 pear - threw this in today to see if I can do something about this potential cold - probably not the best fruit, but it's what I had (and I could eat it in the car going to work)

9 am - large black coffee + splenda

Meal 2 - 11 am
4 oz chicken + salad
3 oz sweet potato
< 2 tbsp low fat honey mustard dressing
diet coke

Meal 3- 2:30 pm
Optimum Nutrition Whey protein mix + inositol - This is 23 g protein/scoop, so I do 1.5 scoops to get around 30 g.

Meal 4 - 5:00 pm
4 oz chicken + salad
< 2 tbsp vinegar & oil

Meal 5 - 10 pm (late getting back from the gym)
protein shake + glutamine

Meal 6 - 12 pm
4 oz steak
1/2 c green beans

Totals:
Cal: 1525 Fat: 41g (25%) Carb: 88g (19%) Protein: 204 g (55%)

- This is an interesting breakdown & not quite what I was expecting. My current diet is based on my competition diet from a couple yrs ago. I need to look at this a little more closely. I also plan to incorporate a 4 day carb rotation on meals 2 & 4. Day 1: about 30 g carb (yam) on meal 2 & 4 (I'm missing meal 4 carb today). Day 2: Replace carb in meal 4 w/ same cals in fat. Day 3: Keep carb in meal 4, replace carb in meal 2 w/ same cals in fat. Day 4: replace carb in both meal 2 & 4 w/ fat ("low carb day") Day 5: repeat Day 1. And see how this goes.


Training:
AM cardio - 25 min precor

PM training: back & bis
Note: looking to use the pyramid approach a la SHUT IT:

- 7 min walk -> run treadmill warm-up
- lat pull down: 80/15 90/12x2 100/10
- DB rows: 50/10 50/12 50/12 - hold for a count at the top
- Hammer Strength hi row: 60/12 70/8 (too much so drop) 65/10 -> 35/10
- Cable reverse flyes: 20/15 x 2 20/12 (this is my platuea right now to keep good form)
- Cable row (1st time in several months cuz my back is getting better!!) 60/15 x 3 - just looking for good stretch right now - usual weight is closer to 80/90)
- EZ curl: 30/20 x 3 -- 40 lb aggravated my tendonitis, so went for good form & burn
- Cable curl: 50/15 x 3 - also going for form & burn
- hi cable bis: 30/15 40/12 40/15 50/5 -> 40/5 -> 30/8

- 30 min precor

I was wondering why you need to check your resting body temp while taking thyroid medication. I when I begin cutting in spring I was thinking about using something similar to synthroid so I was wondering what I should be looking for with my temperature and why?
Thanks Sassy you are an inspiration!!!

First I don't advocate self-medicating for thyroid. The t-100x is an OTC supp that I just wanted to try. Just in general you can get an idea of how "efficient' your thyroid is operating by taking your resting body temp.

This is a post by Mallet over at musclesci.com:
How well do you know your thyroid?

The basal body temperature (bbt) is a highly sensitive and accurate measure of low thyroid function, perhaps exceeding the reliability of available blood tests. The late Broda Barnes, MD., a pioneer in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disorders, developed this test and successfully diagnosed and treated many patients based on it's results.

The BBT test was developed as a simple measure of detecting hypothyroid conditions. It is based on the observation that hypothyroid patients typically run lower than normal body temperatures. This makes sense, since body temperature (heat output) Is a direct measure of the amount of fuel (food and oxygen) being burned by the cells.

In terms of the ultimate objective of measuring thyroid function--that is, determining the ability of thyroxine to enter the cells and influence metabolism--the BBT test is the most logical assessment tool. The BBT is taken immediately upon awakening.

Taking Your Basal Body Temperature
Your body temperature reflects your metabolic rate, which is largely determined by hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. The function of the thyroid gland can be determined by simply measuring your basal body temperature. All that is needed is a thermometer.
PROCEDURE:
Shake down the thermometer to below 95° and place it by your bed before going to sleep at night.
On waking, place the thermometer in your armpit for a full 10 minutes. It is important to make as little movement as possible. Lying and resting with your eyes closed is best. Do not get up until the 10 minute test is completed.
After 10 minutes, read and record the temperature and date.
Record the temperature for at least three mornings (preferably at the same time of day) and give the information to your physician. Menstruating women must perform the test on the second, third and fourth days of menstruation. Men and postmenopausal women can perform the test any time.
INTERPRETATION:
Your basal body temperature should be between 97.6° F and 98.2° F. Low basal body temperatures (below 97.6° F) are quite common and may reflect hypothyroidism. Common signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism are:

Depression
Difficulty in losing weight
Dry Skin
Headaches
Lethargy or fatigue
Menstrual problems
Recurrent infections
Sensitivity to cold
High basal body temperatures (above 98.2° F) are less common, but may be evidence of hyperthyroidism. Common signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism include:

Anxiety attacks
Bulging eyeballs
Fast pulse
Hyperactivity
Inability to gain weight
Insomnia
Irritability
Menstrual problems
Nervousness


BTW, do some research on synthroid before you pursue it - I've never tried it, but I think it really does nothing, at least not compared to t-3.

For those who haven't seen some of my old photos, I did my first show in 2000 and have had a lot of trouble trying to duplicate those results since due to various personal & professional situations. So to be honest I'm living in a perpetual state of trying to be that person again. The difference is that I have a huge bunch more muscle on my body and a lot more knowedge, but damn is it frustrating trying to get that again knowing that I've let it all go to shit a few times already.

But enough whining - that's why its so important to get my shit in order now.

You might feel like a porker but you really aren't, just think, a few weeks from now you'll feel like a million bucks.
 
That's what I'm bankin on!

Barring problems w/ my cold, I'm lookin at doing a bunch of hiphop, etc. dance cardio classes & yoga this week at the gym. Wohoo! I think this is actually going to be interesting to cut back a little on the lifting & pursue the cardio.
 
You may be trying to be that person again - but I like the "new you" with more muscle than before. I think you look good now, but I can't wait to see the progress picsas they come. You are going to look phenominal.

Now THOSE are guns. Haven't seen guns like that in awhile! :)
 
Thx daisy! LOL -- well ugly truth has been photo'd & posted. No more excuses huh? Let the clock start tickin!
 
Wow!! Looking really good Sassy!! Didn't picture you as a blonde tho, for some reason..... and I agree with DG -- what gunz!!

How does the peach flavored isopure taste like?

It's actually not bad. I think the apple will taste better. You know how orange dreamcicles taste? Like, not citrus orange but more creamy orange? That's how this stuff tastes, but peachy. YOu really can't get away from the protein taste / texture, but its really not bad. I haven't tried the apple but based on what I think it will taste like w/ that protein twist, I"ll try that next.

:shocked: they even have an apple flavor? did you order it online or just bought it from health food store?
 
I can't say - I haven't tried it yet. They do have these flavors in ready-to-drink bottles too. At least they did at the GNC I went to. I'll keep that in mind next time I get over there. That way you don't have to drop the $40 on soemthing you might not like. I"m just thinking it wouldn't have that weird creamy taste like the peach does. Its not bad, but I just think it might be better.
 
Thanks Shadow :)
Yes, GNC carries it, but Im not sure they carry the apple and peach flavor around my house.. I'll check it out tomorrow

I usually get the whey protein from Costco (6 Lbs. container for 19.99)

Yea I don't know what you call these things -- use like the lat pulldown bar or a shorter straight bar, stand back from the cable w/ straight arms & pull down w/ a pivot at the hip, pulling the bar from about shoulder height down to waist keeping the arms straight and feeling muscle down the center lower part of your back as bar approaches the bottom of the rep...

Anyway, these just sort of sucked.

Some general comments: My chest showed itself on chest night and I'm starting to see the muscles show even after pump (e.g. this morning). This is cool because my chest has been lame for the last 2 yrs. Starting to get striations in shoulders. I now fit in my next to 'skinny' jeans. Quads are starting to pop. I'll get a bicep measurement this weekend for a "pumped" state. Generally I see the bodyfat dropping.

Those are hard to do :)
 
Tried that. Still sore. These cardio classes are testing my back a lot so I think I just need to give it a little time.

This is what I called the "cable pull down abs" or whatever. I think I just overdid during the cardio class. The music these days is so much FASTER than it was when I grew up LMAO! Either that or when I used to go out dancing I was in my stack heel shoes. It just doesnt' work the same in a pair of tennis shoes.

um.....werent you standing when you did those?


as opposed to kneeling??



places the pivot point differently
 
The Shadow said:
....gotcha....didnt see the kneeling comment in the description


Its sorta like "Dickersons". Sometimes you go w/ the short description and worry about the details if someone calls you on it. LOL
 
Sassy.. how tall are you.. i just read through your log and didnt think it was mentioned

I s'pose if I really wanted to confuse you I could call the cable ab thingies "Jeffersons" or something....


I call them "What Sassy said."

Shadow ... "Deer puking"??? Must we bring in non-appetizingly descriptive details here?
How about we call it "licking the peanut butter off Shadow" and let our imaginations go off in a healthier, happier, more constructive direction?

Naw sweetie. Its just one of the more boring details in the whole thread. ;)
 
133 lb 8.6 % bf.

If I competed this time, I'd guess 138-140, 9%. (Um, well gotta get to 145, 15% first....)
 
That would actually be interesting. I have a sneaking suspicion I"m at 155 (or less???) right now and still haven't nailed down my BF. This whole effort is going to be all about the bodyfat but not lose muscle.

Some general comments: Just received my order of Beverly Int'l Ultra 40 liver tabs & Mass Aminos -- need to figure out how these will be incorporated into the diet. I was pretty much wiped from 3 hrs of sleep last nite & had a visit w/ the massage therapist for my back. Thus, night off from training. Well 10 min AM cardio. My day started at 5 am, I still ate every 3 hrs but I was *STARVING* when that 3 hr pt ticked over.

Hi Sassy, just read your thread after a few days away from the board and I'd just like to say, Wow. You look really, really good. Thank you for putting up the pics and for using one as your avatar. It rocks. Good luck, and I am so looking forward to progress updates. You have a great physique, lots of size, really a bod to be proud of. We are all rooting for you and its great to have you on this board.

Sassy - Do you take just 1 fish oil cap. per day? Is it best to take in the morning?

The bottle says to take 1-2 w/ every meal. I end up taking the one w/ my Meal 1, but since I'm at work all day I haven't packed the additional ones. I'm trying to keep the supps to a min and I already carry 3 meals + rALA, in addition to my stock of protein mix, etc at work. So yea, I just take the one right now. Prob not optimal, but that's what I've been doign so far. I need to read up a little more on what exactly you do w/ those things. I also throw flax meal in my oatmeal in the morning and have flax oil w/ my vinegar & oil on my salads.

Some general comments: Slept in today (BADLY needed) until about 10 am. I wanted to hit some classes at my gym today and optimally I woudl've done my training before them, but sleep prevailed. I'm watching these classes in addition to my regular training to make sure I'm not overtraining. I'm also droppign a new order into AF store for rALA & yohimburn. (My last bottle didn't survive my most recent move....) I am very happy w/ my results as far as being more coordinated in my cardio / dance classes after a week and also just in general seeing more mobility in my back & my core and loss of bodyfat.

Thx :qt: ! This is good for me, esp if I have in mind to maybe do a show. I gots hella long way to go to dump the bodyfat. I always had a trainer put together my contest prep before, so this is allowing me to get the macro view of things too & also keepign me honest on food logs, etc. and actually doing the maro nutrient calcs, etc.
 
Dammit I like having sugarfree ice pops when I need to snack on something but its too flippin cold to eat them. God I hate living north of West Palm Beach.

Went for decaf coffee instead. Blah. But warm!


"...Waiter! I'd like 2 cups of coffee please. One for each foot...." :coffee:
