10 Week's To June

I may have chalked up the best day I've ever had (closest to my goals anyway) i finished the day with 10oz Ground beef and a ton of broccoli for my "dinner 2" and goofed around on facebook instead of hitting a bar to watch the Pirates (who lost). I don't have tv, which is great, except, man, I really miss baseball.
I felt so good about my workout today, although the cardio workout wasn't as great because I had to do a lot more teaching than normal tonight with a couple new people there. Usually with the regulars, I can just workout with them and go all out.
If it weren't for logging the perfect day, i would totally devour a 4oz block of cheese right now. But I won't. Good night.0 -

I am so proud of you!!!! Best Day Ever!! Wow, you have me smiling ear to ear....this is happiness! Doesn’t it feel great when we know we did good and made spectacular choices. Glad the workout went well too, I am sorry the cardio wasn't as good as you wanted, but internally it must have felt amazing that you were able to teach and isn't what this journey is about....not only the external but the internal as well... Great job my friend.0 -

I'm currently following the workouts from Crossfit.com (modified weight of course).
Today I did 3 rounds of 800 meter run 6.0 mph, 50 back extensions, 50 sit ups.
The workouts are posted daily on Paceperformance.net
I'm close to my goal... but need to really push to make it. My diet is kind of a mixture of GNC total lean products and top tier Michi's ladder stuffs.
Trying to eat back most of the calories I burn... netting at 1200 calories.0 -
Did well today, I got 160 grams of protein...never thought that was going to happen. The lifting went well, but I am still crazy intimidated to be in the weight area and there were a bunch of men that looked like they knew what they were doing and then there was me waiting for my trepidation to go away. The barbell back squats are hurting my lower back. Ordered Born to Run on Amazon. Did 65 min of cardio.
This is great!!! You know what to do next time you're down there - tell one of them to tell you if your form is rough. They might spot something, might not, but they'll be in your corner and trying to help. Guys down there are usually so excited to get to help someone, they'll fall all over each other to be nice to a newbie!!
I know how you feel. Whenever I'm doing the elliptical (I know...ditch the elliptical) I always look over to the weight area and have an internal argument with myself about whether or not to go over there. Which I never end up doing. It's very intimidating! I do get some lifting in once a week at a mostly all women class. I'll have to try to be braver!
Today went pretty well for me too! I didn't overeat at lunch which can sometimes be a problem for me. I got in a good workout this evening with a jog to the gym, Zumba, and a jog back home. Plus I got a lot of walking time in, going to, from, and around campus today.
I also discovered that throwing a few sunflower seeds into scrambled eggs is delicious. I know you eat a lot of eggs Steve, so just something to think about!

This is true!! I've found they look the most intimidating but are usually the keenest to help!! - Walk in, keep your head up, smile and do your thing!!0 -
Also, I think the elliptical is fine - its how you use it! I can do some great interval work on it when I am trying to give my knees a rest from running!
Hope everyone has a good day!!0 -

Thanks on the weight room encouragement. I do get bored on the elliptical, however I can get lost in my thoughts on it and I love that aspect. I am using the elliptical because I have been grounded from running by my physical therapist. I had a sprained ankle, and I have bilateral tendinitis in the inner and outer tendon that runs from your knee down into your foot.....so hopefully I will be back to running within the next week. I will tell you nothing makes me feel more confident or powerful (sounds weird I know) than running and nothing gives me a better workout. I have a love/hate relationship with running I really suck at it, have gotten injured many times from it, but I feel so good afterwards.0 -

YES! Those stupid men. They're quite intimidating. And the funny thing is.. they probably know less than we do haha. We're just too scared to get out there and do it :-p
I did it alone for the first time Mon, and there (thank God) was one other woman there and I told her... yell at me if my form is bad please! And she helped me out. PHEW! My problem is usually just remembering the exercises for each muscle to make sure I get my entire workout LOL0 -

Doesn't sound weird to me!!! I have to make myself NOT run everyday as my knees wouldn't take it, I love it (usually after the first km!!) I am lucky enough to live in a lovely city and near the sea so there are great places to run!! I feel amazing when I run (usually!!) even on a treadmill! Hope you recover quickly!!!0 -

Thanks...I am a little jealous....living by the sea....wow, I am getting all dreamy just thinking about it....I live in Michigan the home of the never ending winter...LOL, can't wait until it is warm enough to run outside again..(I am not hard core enough to do it when it is cold.)0 -
CE is Chalene Extreme I believe.
About to head down and do a workout in the hotel gym. No dumbells unfortuantely really wanted to do Just Arms from O-o-O's or something like that but I will have to do some cardio of some sort or yoga decisions, decisions!
Great job Steve, Gigi, and everyone else. This group is really cool for accountability and support. Keep it up everyone June will be here before we know it!

Never to late - I love that CrossFit stuff. It goes so hand in hand with Primal lifestyle, maybe for my summer maintenance I'll do it. My basic plan is - cut to June, the leanbulk until Sept, then bulk bigger until Christmas, and start leaning out to June again - what a cycle!0 -

yeah - just to be clear on this - the elliptical is fine - so is the treadmil and stair master, but not every day. I see the same people doing the elliptical every single day, week after week, month after month, and year after year. They look the same forever. It's a nice change of pace sometimes, but the bulk of works should involve more than just your legs on a machine! Get your upper body involved! Think CrossFit, Insanity, P90X, BodyRock - all the best workouts involve full body during cardio - BURPEES!!!!!!0 -

You know - I've learned that I'm best about my workouts when I'm either really busy or on the road. I have to plan ahead and make sure I don't waste time, but I love getting them in. When I'm off for the whole day, that can get a little rougher. Sometimes the days I end up working out at 11pm are the days I did nothing all day.... Just keep putting it off.
It took a while to figure that out, I love the feeling of a morning workout - but never ever ever do it!
Wed did Fit Club today and knocked out Interval X from the P90X+ series and Insanity Cardio Abs. It was just 3 of us this morning, so we really went for it. Sometimes when the other ladies come, we take it a little easier, since they're newer to exercise.
Today will be a perfect day. Somewhere around 2,000 calories I think.
Off to train - 2 clients, spread out hours between.... I'll be sucking down some coffee and studying my book for sometime today.0 -
Working out on the road is easy if you are flexible. I like to do Just arms or shoulders and arms on the road but the hotel gyms dont always cooperate. So today I did Plyocide. Again had to improvise for some of the moves because I didnt have a medicine ball and they had a dumbell selection of 3's, 5's, and 8's. But I hardly ever watch tv on the road anymore, usually online or reading my kindle. I just wish there was a way to bring my kettlebell on the road with me.0

What is CE Burn?
CE Burn is the Chalean Extreme workouts 0 -
Just checking in to say i'm here! 0 -
174 grams protein but it was not even a little bit pretty. I need to re-evaluate and plan better. The only reason I got it in was due to a ridiculous amount of protein shakes.
50 min. of cardio...trying to figure out how to get 3 times a week of weights in because I go to the gym on T, W, Sun (due to child care) and I am supposed to skip a day between doing them still contemplating how to arrange it.
Hope everyone had a wonderful day.0 -
Checking in! 100% on track with nutrition and workouts are going well - yesterday was the beginning of week 4 on C25K and today was day 2 with Chalean Extreme - I need heavier weights - the bands are just not hacking it. My muscles are definitely sore but I think I could do a bit more and track my progress a bit more using weights.
Y'all are doing great and I love reading everyone's posts and gaining knowledge...It's because of you that I've upped my protein, lowered my carbs, and am eating much cleaner (work in progress but getting there). Also, the whole lifting weights thing was you, too. THANKS!

Thanks for all the support guys, it really means a lot to me. I've had two days back on track and I feel worlds better. Hit my nutrition pretty good today:
Protein: 118g
Fat: 28g
Carbs: 211g
Fiber: 44g
Water: 12
Cals eaten: 1555 of 1732.
Bodybugg says cals burned today: 2415 so far.
I cut back on the fat again, not really intentionally, but my skin was breaking out something awful! Have to find balance there.0 -
Day 10
REST DAY

Checking in for today...
I was under cals again today. Me and my friend decided to brave the dreaded weight room. It was kind of packed, too. We'll have to go during a down time next time. And with a better plan of attack, but we got a nice little workout in.
My cold is way better, too. The Zicam must've done the trick this time.0 -
