T-cake, have you had any increase in appetite with the var? YOur macros look really good. And yes props to ya for perservering! Takes alot to work thru a sick feeling.

Have a good nite!

Thanks for the kudos!
Actually, the reason I went on the var to begin with was because I'm taking T3 to address hypothyroid issues in my family in combination with bad knees which have disallowed me from doing HIIT for the time being. SO -- once I started taking T3... THAT is what made me super hungry at first... and since it's catabolic, that is why I went on the var, to fight off potential LBM loss. So does the var make me hungrier? I don't think so...?

I think that was part of the reason I felt kinda sick today... but it's probably the NYC Ulter gave to me. That stuff will suppress my appetite but it's workin' it's magic in the early morning when there's nothing in my belly... and oh man. Makes me

Thanks for stoppin' in!

Ah, NYC used to make me queasy sometimes also. Wonderful for appetite suppression. Would love to get my hands on some.

Keep up the good work and enjoy this FL weather!

Thanks for the kudos! Happy to say that the cardio went much better this morning. After I woke up and got ready and took my supps... I sat down for about 5 minutes before heading out the door. I think I just need to give my head a little rest time or I'll just take my dizziness with me. Workout was totally normal, no overheating, great pace, no queasiness. MUCH BETTER!

Hi there! readin and reading your post!

Hey darlin'! OMG, Ulter was showing me the pictures of the house your father was the head architect of -- dear GOODNESS it's beautiful! So cool to have that kind of talent in your family!

T-Cake's Fitness Log for Thursday, June 29, 2006​

Cardio
* 60 minute outside walk this morning, first thing on an empty stomach.
* AND... yes, AND... I set myself a goal on my WeightWatchers Challenge thread that I would do an additional 30 minutes of cardio at the gym post-lift on the four days a week I do that. THAT being said -- I did 30 minutes on the row machine after I did my super set today, midday. Let me just add that I am officially in love with the rowing machine!!! It is easy on my knees, and I cranked out 30 minutes on that in NO TIME!

T-Cake SUPER SETS Day ONE​

Ladies, I'm changin' it up. Between Ulter and curgeo and some other people of expertise -- I'm getting started on SuperSets. VERY excited to know I'm ready for this. The plan is to do a 4 day split (3 to take care of upper body, 1 day is all lower body; I'll do abs and core work every time I go, period)​

SuperSet #1 =
DB Incline Bench Press (IBP) with Standing Bent-Over Row (SBR)
IBP 15dbs x 10
SBR curl bar 30 x 12
IBP 15 dbs x 10
SBR curl bar 30 x 12
IBP 15 dbs x 10
SBR curl bar 30 x 12
Next time, I'll change up the curl bar to 40 lbs; I shouldn't be able to do more than 10 reps since there is zero rest in between each set.

2 minutes rest

SuperSet #2 =
Seated Cable Row (SCR) with Lat Pulldowns (LP)
SCR 60 lbs x 10
LP 75 lbs x 10
SCR 60 lbs x 10
LP 75 lbs x 8
SCR 60 lbs x 10
LP 75 lbs x 8
This was HARD!!! No changes to be done here.

2 minutes rest

SuperSet #3 =
Inclined Dumbbell Flyes (IDF) with Dumbbell Pullovers (DP)
IDF 15 dbs x 10
DP single 15 db x 10
IDP 15 dbs x 10
DP single 15 db x 10
IDF 15 dbs x 10
DP single 15 db x 10
Will stick with the flyes and 15s... need to keep shoulder girdle stable and work on that. DP I will change to a 20 lb db instead.

Ab work =
Oblique dips with 25 lb plate = 2 sets 25 on each side, no rest
40 crunches on exercise ball
30 crunches on mat
Declined sit-ups = 1 set x 25, 1 set x 20

After this -- 30 minutes on the rowing machine then I walked home (10 minutes or so).

I am kickin' AZZ.

NIce workout sweetie!!! How you doing today?

Hey duckie! I'm doin' alright. I think I'm mellowing out now that my workout is all done. Going to dinner in a bit here soon... not sure what I'm going to eat... but I'm good at that game. I'll make it work.

Tried to get out and get new sneakers last night but no luck. I'm going to try again tonight and see about getting some shorts that actually fit. *sigh* Fun fun! How you doin'?

Nice job on the workout pineapple

:lol: Thanks! That's so cute. I like that nickname.

Goodnight for now. Macros were great today (47% p, 2-% c, 3-% f) and cals were 1636. We had Italian for dinner so I'm happy for that, though I didn't land in the 1500 range. Oh well -- that extra 250 I burned rowing will easily take care of that.

Thinking of you, girl. You OK?
