Oops, hit enter to soon. iPad won't let me edit it right either : p
Assessment: food and water have been great, but I got raging hungry yesterday. Only ended with 55 cals left. I'm only 3 lbs off from my goal, but I'm going to have to lower the goal. Still to much fat hanging around. I really really don't want to give up any weights, but maybe going back to a heavier circuit and more walking again will get rid of the last of this fat.0 -
Hey guys, I'll be out of commission for at least a few days.
I had a seizure very late last night. Luckily my husband figured it out immediately and got me help.
I have no history of them and the Dr has no idea what happened. Im very sore and have a few bite spots in my mouth, but I don't think my Dr will find anything today.
Anyway, have a good weekend everyone.0 -

Hey gang
I like myself unconditionally!
Happy Thursday! I went a little overboard on some graham crackers yesterday, so I'll have to make up some calories.
Cardio:stair climbing- Tabata protocol (280 calories), walk/jog- 2 mi (280 calories)
Strength:hamstring and shoulders- seated leg curls, stiff legged deadlifts, shoulder press, side laterals, bent over laterals. 3x8-10
Assessment: I feel really good and rested today!0 -
Ive been to my Dr. They have to run a battery of tests and make sure there isn't a pattern developing. Until then they won't let me drive. I have boring few weeks ahead of me, but if it'll clear me-that's fine.
Right now I'm sore as hell and tired. Totally blew my diet today, but it's also my birthday- so I took the day off everything. Hopefully I'll be fine in a few days and back to working out.0 -

Don't take baths either. A friend of mine died in the bathtub when he had a seizure, be careful.0 -
Assessment: Feeling a bit tired today but I had a pretty decent workout. I'm trying some new supplements today as well to see if they help, especially with my end-of-week workouts. White Flood and Purple Wrath are a pre-workout and during workout drink that provides some energy, nutrients, and EAA's. I also started taking ON's Gold Standard Whey pre and post workout, so we'll see if this improves performance and recovery a little.
Strength: So I've been playing with my Friday workouts to try and focus on Strength and Speed, especially because my step-son want to work on his agility in the football off-season so I'm experimenting with some things. This was pretty aweseom and I like where it's going.
5/3/1
- Sumo Deadlift 3/3/3+
- Cleans from the Hang 3/3/3+
- Superset 1: Broad Jump Series --> Lunge Shuffle 4 x 10
- Superset 2: Side Jumps --> Alternating Lunge Jump Series 4 x 10
Cardio: Yup, 30 minutes of lovely cardio watching infomercials and Pregnant at 16... as if Cardio isn't bad enough by itself.0 -

Haha! Plyos are great cardio workers at the same time hitting those explosive movements. Try Jump Tucks and High bounding too!Assessment: Feeling a bit tired today but I had a pretty decent workout.

I hope you are ok - you are taking the seizure a lot better than I would be, I would be FREAKING. OUT.
I have squeezed in workouts every day this week but most were terrible.
Yesterday was training so I had a great day - we did clean and jerks with a mystery amount of weight (I didn't look) and a variety of things that were good - my muscles were tired on the end but i'm not experiencing much soreness otehr than my legs which were already sore before (Maybe I need more rest days on the walking/running ... I need to look up a video on using the rowing machines at the gym probably). We did a lot of back work and some triceps so I'm feeling that a BIT. Triceps are sore anytime I do ANYTHING with them - I must not use them hardly at all during the day. Pullups on the total gym at level 4 which is a level hgiher than last time.
Food is my focus this month and I am hitting my .8grams/lb every day if it kills me WHICH IT MIGHT. Bleh. 60 grams of that is from protein powder every day.
Training sat morning so not sure what I will do today - I'll probably not run.0 -

Another awesome thread by ninerbuff!
After a week off exercise due to a death in the family, I'm back:
Today was cardio, and the last Saturday of cardio before I start flag football next Saturday (season is October through December). Am also playing softball on Sundays through October, so glad to get one last weekend of workouts in.
Cardio: Used EA Active 2 for the Wii. Custom-built workout. 30 minutes that is mostly sprinting in place (45seconds to 1 minute sprints, with 15 seconds between exercises). Also included are three sets of 240 foot fires, one set of skipping (90 reps), and a couple minutes of step aerobics. HRM (built into game) estimated 287 calories burned.
My day's not done on food and water, but plan to stay right at my usual 1800-2000 range for workout days. Breakfast was on target with 405 calories consumed.0 -

Good morning!
I'm easing back into the week. I only did some gardening yesterday for 200 cals, but so glad the weeds are gone. They grow insanely fast out here.
I didn't do much this w/e. My husband had to play chauffeur while I picked up supplies for the week, but I must have done a bit to much. I got a long nap in yesterday afternoon and still managed to sleep that night.
Assessment: Appetite is coming back. I'll see what the damage from not working out on Wednesday. I'm feeling better, not tired or sore (yet). Aside from that first day, my cals have been under- my water has been great. I'm hoping to get back on track this week. The weight may have to start low again (insert BIG sigh here) but I'll get it back up where I was.0 -
