TOM today, thank you diet coke for giving me the energy I need to hit the gym and recover some of my wasted calories.0
-
OH i just want some magic.
(the fat to disappear, eat what I want, do what I want) I think knowing my calories hinders me from losing weight. I know it sounds strange BUT it's like oh I have 200 left over so I can eat ice cream or a cookie.
I didn't get to workout today. Ladies from church went to Cracker Barrel. I ordered Momma's pancake meal. 2 eggs, 3 pancakes, 2 turkey sausage. I ate the eggs and 1.5 pancake with sugar free syrup. By the time I got home, I was not in the mood to head to gym. So I'll be there tomorrow on my weekend. :grumble:
Sue, I would be ecstatic ! yay for you.
Sam, TOM just ended for me but the munchies, fatigue, self doubt, self sabotage, low esteem, the fat girl feeling is still here . ANYWAY, LOL glad you made it to the gym! GIRL POWER!.
Mrs.Mab, this is my 2nd time around with NROL4W. I will finish my final workout in stage 1 tomorrow . Yes, the gals here give excellent advice.0 -
I wanna see a bikini picture of SUE!!!
Ah well, diet coke has been used for WAY more 'evil' than TOM, Samntha....I plan on using diet coke to water down my rum, tonight! lol
manic - GET THEE TO THE GYM!
I, too, am outta here - catch ya on Monday!0 -
Enjoy your weekend ladies. I will be home, cleaning and doing laundry. I want my house clean BEFORE my vacation starts.
Cranked it up at the gym and fought through the fatigue. Did a complete workout including my metabolic and hit 10x100 on my DL. I know I can do more. It's getting frustrating. I have some weird aches and pains too in my right fore arm and my right shin. What's up with that. Don't forget to visit me here this weekend. Seriously, I need a life.0 -
SamBAM! I'll be here periodically. I guess I need a life too.0

Ok so I got really brave and posted two photos...one is from last year....I was 7 or 8lbs lighter on the photo with the bikini...the other was taken a few days ago...black knickers...the angle is slightly different however no matter how I shoot it..that's my new butt...I've also shaped out all over but that's the most noticeable..my pants are tighter now than they were then...and I don't care...lol0
-
pics of my butt..don't show my face but I swear they're both ME lol0
-
Holy Bootay Breeze!! Ok now that is a tush to be proud of. Way tot go with your bad self.
I woke up sore 6 hours after my workout. I think I may be in trouble later lol0 -
I was a bit concerned...because whenever I reduce size my pants get loose...shapeless on the bottom really but was accepting that this is my shape..so when my pants were tighter somewhat I was thinking I was gaining in size..the bonus is my waist is also getting slimmer.
I'm doing stage 7 as I want to cut some fat for my daughter's wedding but once that's done I'm going to do a serious training..I love that shapely butt. No saggy skin either...where did it go? lol0 -
OMG breezedaze, I totally want to pinch your tushy!0

Do y'all do HIIT after every weight lifting session?0

Do y'all do HIIT after every weight lifting session?
I did the last time I did the program beginning mid 2nd stage or 3rd.
Currently, I am in stage 1 and easing back in. So no.0 -
Yes and no...usually I do..but last time I was dead so just did a fast walk...stage 7..still hurting from Friday but good hurt

I do HIIT (or a metabolic circuit) after each Supercharged workout because it is written into the program. He explains the importance of it in Supercharged(basically says they should have included it in all the earlier books). But it is only about 5-10 mins of HIIT instead of 15 that NrOL4W includes.
I sent Sarauak and SiseSteel a PM for bodyfat estimation. They estimated me lower than what I had thought and what the calculator put me at. I'm only around 6% away from my 22% goal. Woot!0 -
I do this too^I do HIIT (or a metabolic circuit) after each Supercharged workout because it is written into the program.

I ate the blast. Why did I eat the blast? I really only wanted half. I should have thrown it out at that point instead it was sitting on the table while we were talking for the next hour and I just kept picking. I also realize why my cousin who is doing the program isn't losing as much weight as she should. When ever we eat out she orders the heart attack on a bun.
I would work some of it off today but hubby wants to take my oldest mountain biking instead of the whole family going hiking if the weather holds. Passing along a happy Father's day to all your husbands an dads0 -
My macros suck balls today.0
-
Sam, your sentence describes my whole weekend..."why did I eat the ______?" Has been what I keep saying to myself as I eat all the wrong things. I will get on track tomorrow. Looks like today was better. Did you get some exercise in?
Runz, I bet my macros are worse than yours today...
I think we need to do another "official" challenge. Maybe weekly macros or weekly grams of protein?0 -
hey all - sorry that I have not posted in a while. I have been following the thread, but never had time to do proper "shout outs" and I prefer to do that. Anyway, I have been good with my workouts this week and slowly getting less disciplined with my eating. The beginning of my busy week I said "i can eat well without logging" and did less and less well as the week went on...I guess without the accountability of writing it all down, each slip did not matter as much.
So, I am 2 workouts into stage 6...ick!
I am off to st louis tomorrow. Two rest days comin' up. Hope everyone has a great week!0 -
I'm home, I haven't read the thread since Friday, but I'll play catch up today. No lifting but I swam on Saturday, walked a bunch yesterday.
I know I didn't meet any of my challenge goals except perhaps protein but I didnt log and I ate like there was no tomorrow all weekend long. I apparently am not ready for any sort of maintenance type lifestyle - I need the logging to stay honest.0 -
lcuconley and sue, I don't trust myself either.
After taking two days off from working out, I am noticeably reduced this morning! YAY! Can't wait to do official measurements in two weeks.
I think I'm doing Stage 1 A6 today. Methinks.
After junky eating the last couple days, I'm on a mission. I've already assembled little pb&js and ham/cheese rolls for the little guy- enough for the whole week. I've also made up a package of bacon. Later, I'll do oat bran muffins, oatmeal muffins, chicken cabbage rolls, and sweet n sour chicken. I also bought fresh lemons for my amazeballs lemon bars.
I love good food.0 -
breeze - thanks for the picture - AWESOME!
Hi everybody....just easing into my day - I'll post later.0 -
I'm still here, too. Finished Stage 3 and am taking a little break to do D2S, which I started today. My arms and legs have felt like jello all day! I'm trying to stay kind of with the menu, but today am really missing the extra 200 calories I used to give myself on workout days! I haven't struggled like this in a while. My kids have been eating Ritz today and suddenly they seem like the most heavenly food ever. Can't wait for dinner and then I can just pass out til the morning and have breakfast.
I wonder if it's because I went out to eat on Saturday and didn't really try to stay within my calories? Flat bread pizza and beer! It was SO GOOD.0 -
today I finished the stage 7 workout..# 6 and realized I was still hurting in places from #5. Wednesday I start over at Workout 1 again...it's hard...I just want to collapse and sleep after but I'm determined to do it right up until vacation...daughter's wedding..need to fit a dress...stuff like that.
Yesterday was a day off recording as I didn't have internet but it wasn't a bad day...had a protein shake for breakfast..a small snack mid day and a nice dinner with all the treats and it was good. Probably over calorie wise but I might need it after all the working out!
Weird day today as I didn't have groceries so I had a dessert for breakfast but, meh..I'm under calories and it had eggs and coconut and not much sugar so it was ok...better than a processed muffin lol...and the rest of the day was pretty good.
Thanks Beeps :-)
Oh..I upped ALL my weights today...very proud 0 -
Wow so I was the good one this weekend...except for the blast on Friday which I more than made up for the rest of the weekend. Not bad for TOM week. I was under by 800 cals for Sat and Sun. I've entered the "Eh, I'm not all that hungry" week. I just got home from the gym and had a big piece of Reese's Ice Cream cake and I still nailed my calories and macros :laugh:
I finished Phase two of Life tonight. So it will be an all cardio week. I feel great now that I'm back to lifting three times a week. I guess lifting twice was a failed experiment as was not logging for a while. I know what I need to eat, I just need to stay consistent and avoid binging on my favs.0 -
Sounds like a good plan, sam!
I killed 103 g of protein today! WOOT!0 -
Hi everyone. I'm new to to this group.
I bought the NROL4W book on Saturday (for Kindle), read it and then did my first Stage 1 (Workout A) yesterday. Since I've been doing weights regularly for the last two months (and steadily increasing) I initially thought the five exercises wouldn't be enough. In fact when I left the gym, I told my boyfriend I didn't really feel like I had a very hard workout. And today? My legs are sore. My upper body isn't so bad. The only one I had problems with yesterday was the Prone Jackknife although my second set was easier. I have a little bit of soreness in the upper body but it's not that noticeable. I'm looking forward to Workout B either tomorrow or Wednesday.0 -
Welcome, Pesi!
Run, I had 55 g today LOL Pitiful I know. I had to eat 3/4 cup cottage cheese to get 21 g.0
