Independence Day from the Old You

Rest day again today and looking forward to kettlebell workout tomorrow. I have been a tad over on my calories the past few days. Good though cuase im trying to put on that muscle stuff right, lol.

I really want to get some kettlebells... i wonder what weights i should start with!?!?!

I ended up taking a rest day yesterday because I just felt so gross. I woke up this morning feeling MUCH better, and I've already put in a workout and done some serious fluid intake.

I'm determined to get through JM's Six Week Six Pack, but the burpees and side plank crunches are killing me. I'm hoping to see some definition set in before heading out on vacation on 7/3. :glasses:

I'm done with corn in any form for a while...I don't think I'm cut out to consume it. I feel better w/out it. :grumble:

Double kettlebell routine medium day in the books. 6 sets of double high pulls, snatches, mil. presses, and front squats 5 each per set. Another brutal one.

Swearing is good but I did drop an f- bomb in the car today cause of some moron in front of me nearly cutting me off!

Gigi gals should start with 18 lb or 26 lb if you go on www.dragondoor.com it may give you more guidance. You do need to get one they are bad a#@!

I do 8 and 10kg. It is honestly one of the hardest workouts that Ive done. It gets your heart rate soaring. Jay well done on the swearing! Your workout was brutal!!!!!!
I went for a 20 min run first to warm up andcended up running up a massive hill!
Im really pleased with my food at the moment. Im keeping the sugar down and eating yummy things x

yay monday! its my sunday actually and back to work tomorrow.

Nutrition: i steamed my first artichoke today! who knew there was so many carbs in artichokes! damnit i know now. but it was super good and i made a dip out of lemon juice and a lil bit of olive oil and chili pepper i went over on fats but i didn't eat like a tard and thats my main thing. learning to not eat like a moron.

Exercise: about to change right now and hit the gym!

Goal: low on water today but drank nothing else either spent all day painting a giant tree. looks like a kindergartner painted it. lol oh well. it was fun. i'll get my water in tho!

ORDERED! i new scale and a digital food scale!

welcome home steve! glad you made it back safe and found some interesting research to look into. i have an aquaintance who tried anabolics and i literally yelled at him for it. you know better than anyone.... you're too smart for that.

Not through with the day yet, but we have friends coming over for a bbq, so chances are slim that I'll get around to checking back in. I've logged in another day of JM's 6W6P, as well as another day of the 100 push up challenge and an extra 15 minutes of cardio on the elliptical. Add all that up with some pretty significant house cleaning, and I'd say I'm doing pretty well.

The push up challenge has ended up being pretty fun (http://hundredpushups.com/) and I've managed to incorporate cardio with it during the rest period in between reps.

The only problem with all this exercise is that my normal meal routine is not sufficient to fill me up. Hoping some water and green tea can get me though until the bbq :drinker:

Back on track today. I need to up my protein tomorrow as I was starving an hour after eating all day today.

i didn't mean to not check in yesterday lol oddly i was right on track except with the help of a buttload of cheese i went over my fat LOL

today was a rest day yesterday i hit the gym my shin and leg burns like crazy now and i'm not sure why! so any insight would be great. its not the front of my shin its the outter side.

so today i had a date and instantly knew i'd go over. apparently i did not which is surprising but whatever LOL no gym today but um... yeah did a lil wrestlin if you know what i mean LOL hehehehehehehe

Nutrition: went to a hoity toity restaurant in LA got fish n chips which was totally natural because it was a hoity toity hipster LA joint. didn't eat the chips had a small salad instead. i did have a few tho so i logged them as if i ate them. just in case the log is wrong.

Exercise: rest day um.. ahem LOL also joined the row around the world challenge for july!

Habit: drank all my water before having iced tea at the restaurant. still no soda.

I reset my % to reflect higher protein and fat. Having a hard time hitting my protein, which is surprising 'cause I tend to have a lot throughout the day.

Did an hour workout today...6 Week 6 Pack, 100 Push Up challenge, 5 min. on the elliptical (during my push-up recovery times), and 1.5 mile run. Feelin' good about it.

Still been really hungry all day. Could have used more water. Could also have used more coffee!! :drinker:

checking in for yesterday.

the treadmill makes my leg hurt like crazy and i'm not sure why so i took another day off from workin out.

Nutrition: did pretty good fell asleep before i could finish my diary but i am pretty sure i didn't do any hardcore damage. biggie last night tho..My roomie bought a meat lovers pizza last night and when he asked me if i wanted some i almost slugged him. but i said NO!!!! had hominy soup instead LOL

Exercise: i'll admit i was afraid of the pain in my leg so yeah. another rest day but today its back on the treadmill.

LOL forgot my habit.: drank 96oz of water before i had a cup of milk.

Today is double kettlebell light day. Did 6 sets of double swings, snatches, and sessaw presses 5 reps each move, each set. Not a bad one with just 90 seconds rest between each set. Keep up the good work everyone and keep posting.

Hey guys and girls we did Mason's Choice Cardio from the now extinct One-on-One series. Keep up the good work and enjoy the weekend.

Ok busy weekend and not much time to post.... But here is a quick recap of my weekend since i wasnt able to log on much!!! Saturday was a rest day, we hung out on the beach for a couple of hours then went to a friends wedding that was on the beach!!! I have no idea what all i ate so i just did a quick log of 1200 calories... Im sure i over estimated but would rather over estimate than under estimate!!! We got home around 11:30pm and i got in my Asylum Relief and slept like a baby!!!! Sunday was another busy day i got up early and started cleaning up my moms house and decorating for the shower we were throwing at 2pm that day for my Niece-In-Law!!! We had a beach themed shower and it was sooooo much fun!!!! Again i have no idea what i ate at the shower so i did a quick log of 1000 calories this time and again that was an over estimate!!!! After the shower we spent some time with the family then went to see my Aunt who is in the hospital!!! By the time we got home it was 9pm.... we unpacked and then I did Asylum Vert Plyo at 10pm (fyi not fun)!!! In the middle of this workout i got sick (im pretty sure from all the wonderful food i had the past two days) and had to stop for about 10mins.... finally i felt a little better and finished my workout!!! After that i got sick again =( Im feeling better today but I need to realize just cause that nasty food is there i dont have to eat it!!! My stomach just doesnt tolerate that kind of stuff well anymore!!! Anyways that was my weekend in a nut shell!!! How was your weekend???
