I am a little worried about the upcoming week however... I have a medical procedure that is going to keep me outta the gym for 3-4 days. I already got some strength training in today but it's going to be hard to get all my cardio in. I apologize in advance.
The good thing however is I'll be on nuthin' but a clear liquids diet for two full days so I should have no problem coming in under my calorie goal. LOL!
Enjoy the show and have a good night.
We got your back! We all have to get each others in a zombie apocalypse. Besides I did 90 yesterday with kids that I usually wouldn't count. But my 100 lb autistic son decided he needed a piggyback ride through the corn maze 8)
OASN... I will be doing a side challenge and going vegetarian 4 nights this week after. I can't go more or the family would revolt

Sorry about last week, guys. I did all the working out, but something happened on Saturday and I forgot to log in.
This week, my cardio is going to be walking, since Doc tells me not to run for at least a week after this surgery I'm to have. But I'll be pushing for everything, AND logging it.0 -

I get extra protein from protein powder and I usually have beef, pork or chicken for dinner and/or cottage cheese and Special K with protein. My strength training routine in the All pro beginners routine, except I do Bulgarian squats instead of normal ones. Here it is from bodybuilding.com
Simple Beginner's Routine
A Simple beginner's Routine
You will do 3 work outs per week on non consecutive days. The first work out is your heavy work out. The second work out is your medium work out, use 10% less weight for your work sets. The final work out for the week is your lite work out, use 20% less weight.
Do a lite warm up with 1/4 of your work sets weight. Do a medium warm up with 1/2 of your work sets weight. Do 2 work sets with the same weight. Choose a starting weight and start light.
These are the seven exercises you will be starting with.
Squats
Bench Presses
Bent-Over Rows
Overhead Barbell Presses
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts
Barbell Curls
Calf Raises
You will be running this program on a five week cycle as follows:
The first week do all 4 sets for 8 reps.
The second week do all 4 sets for 9 reps.
The third week do all 4 sets for 10 reps.
The fourth week do all 4 sets for 11 reps.
The fifth week do all 4 sets for 12 reps.
If you got all of the required reps on the fifth week then increase the weight by 10% and
repeat the cycle. If you didn't get all of the reps on the fifth week then repeat the cycle with the same weight. You shouldn't need more than one minute rest between the warm up sets and you shouldn't need more than one minute thirty seconds between the work sets.
Do some cardio and abs work on non weight training days.

Thanks Guys, Gals I really appreciate it. So far I'm at...
40/110 Cardio
60/70 Strength
On Calorie Goal.
I'm gonna try to get in at least one more day so I should be close.0 -
I've been really sore lately and couldn't figure out why, I've been working out Monday-Friday with weekends off but weekends aren't really off because that's when I drag my son around. So I'm taking tomorrow off, a weekday off will be weird for me. But I'm at 140 for cardio and 60 for strength so I think a rest is due

Week 3 through Tuesday:

I aim to get over 100 g of protein every day. I can usually get it with my normal eating (my macros are 40c/30f/30p) but if I end up having a heavy carb day I can usually get the protein number up by eating some cottage cheese or my favorite "protein glop". I take 1 scoop of Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Whey plus 2 T of chocolate pb2 and mx with 2 T of water. Then I spread it on a banana. Seriously yum and a huge protein boost!
My strength training is all over the map. I used to do the Barbie weights with a zillion reps and finally accepted that I wasn't going to get bulky so started doing compound lifts with heavier weights. I've done NROL4abs and NROL4W but only phase 1 of each because then it got really weird and just not practical at my gym or with the time I had to lift. Then I switched to SL 5x5 but due to back and knee issues I couldn't really progress. THEN I started strong Curves and really liked it but I'll be darned if my a** and legs didn't get bigger and that is NOT the look I'm going for. (I've always had a butt). So now I do a 30 minute total body routine before spin 3 days a week. I don't squat with a barbell, just goblet squats or split squats. Bench, OHP, rows, lat pulldowns, deadlifts, and biceps and triceps. I vary the type of exercise but hit those major lifts. I just want to be strong and look good and still fit in my expensive nice jeans!

Strength: 50/70
Calories: Yup
Character Challenge: Done
Punishment: Done
I tend to get my protein from protein powder in my morning smoothie, lean chicken, lean beef, salmon, nuts, and there's some plant based protein throughout my diet as well.
I recently added Microgreens to my diet, it's supposed to have 10 servings of fruits/veggies in a single scoop. It tastes delicious. I'll mix some of that in with my water that I constantly drink. I also eat tons of fruits and veggies daily and have cut back on the amount of rice I eat so that's good.
My workouts tend to be all over the map. I had a personal trainer for a few months who showed me a mix of calisthenics, cross-fit routines, he had me doing some of the training routines that the military and RCMP would do. It's everywhere but I love it. I use free weights but I also use the equipment at the gym which considers it a functional training facility so it's similar to what I see at the Athletic Club or the Y but it's still different. In a good way. My favorite things to do there is to flip tractor tires, use the battle ropes, and push/pull the prowler with a bunch of added weight (I usually add 135lbs to it). I also recently started running so I get a bunch of my cardio from jogging/running.
It's funny because the punishment is stuff that I do pretty much every day as part of my normal routine. When I saw the punishment I was like "oh, I already did that today. Guess I'll do it again!"0 -

So I'm going to be playing in a big golf tournament the next couple of days and it includes two cocktail parties, two dinners, two lunches and one breakfast! Hen i have a funeral and reception to go to! I'm gonna stop logging my food after my afternoon snack today so won't be able to tell about my calorie goal except by the scale. So I will still have huge calorie burns and will base my calorie goal on what the scale shows Saturday morning. Most likely it will be a big fat NO but hope springs eternal!0 -

I get my protein mainly from protein powder, I do a shake in the morning then a little powder and milk after a workout. I do eat a lot of tofu, black beans and yogurt but I don't always get as much as I need. As far as my strength routine goes I do a program through the daily burn app on my Xbox. It breaks it down into 4 days of lifting, 1 day of yoga and 2 days of cardio, I alternate between 6 and 10lb weights cause I'm fairly new to it so anything over 10lbs just hurts, lol. I also get some "strength" training a few days a week when I shoot my bow, I have a recurve as my main but sometimes I shoot with a compound, both are killer on the forearms and shoulders!0 -

Protein is not my strong suit. But I am trying. I have cheese, chicken, eggs.
For Strength training, I use the machines at my gym, also like to use medicine balls. But also do strength training, using body weight - planks, push ups, squats, lunges etc.

My strength training use to be Strong Curves but I'm pressed for time these days so I do kettlebell complexes. Sometimes I will do a 20 - 35 min routine like Lauren Brooks Kettlebell Body, other times I will do 3-4 five minute complex routines throughout the day, usually one of Pat Flynn's. If time & recovery permits I will do a longer body part focus session - usually back or shoulders.0

I'm saying yes to being under calories even though I didn't log the food. I was very mindful with my eating, didn't overindulge and I've burned a crap-ton of calories the past couple of days! Off to play more golf and I'm counting today as my rest day since the only exercise will be golf (in a cart) and warding off the zombies and Ebola victims tonight! Happy Halloween!0 -
Halloween!!!! It's my 2 of my favorite girls, that don't belong to me, birthday today!!! And my friend always throws them an amazing halloween party for kids and adults. So...good thing I was good Sunday because she charged me with the adult beverage so I made Apple Pie sangria!
Hope you all do better than me today! And give any walker kids extra candy, cuz Walkers!0 -

Sorry about the calories team. A friend of the family died Thursday night and it was pretty much "eff the mindful eating" when it came to Halloween candy (and wine). I'm also leaving in an hour for another funeral and reception and won't get a workout in today and I can't live on 1300 calories. Next week HAS to be better.
