TEAM SKINNY 03/01/08 (March Madness) (Page 12)

Does that mean the two of us have to share?  I was on my way to spend it already.  Guess I have to buy a less expensive Tri Bike.

apparently you havent told the wife if you still have it to spend.

oh, your special allright

Room for the Newb around here?

Ok, well given it's the middle of the month I'm aiming to lose about 4 or so more for the month.

I won't give the whole about me story here since a few of you have seen it elsewhere on the board... but the quick run down is Last May I was 302 and today I was 209 on my way downward.

I'm signed up for a Sprint in July and Oly in Aug (my first Tris)

Hey cadreamer - Love Hitchhikers BTW

-muse

well, now lets not blow this out of proportion

i know the email is real. cause i sent it

O.k. Still in by midnight...

Last : god only knows.... Saling?, where is he?

This: 192.6

Tomorrow I go shopping for some jeans!

Oh, and thanks everyone for those kind words. That's why I asked saling about being high in the weight category but having a completely different BF % based on those online calc's. I'm losing something but replacing it still, which keeps the scale somewhat neutral ( in movement).

I146Q:  Last  190.4

Vol & anyone else unfamiliar with the P90 system:


this is the breakdown. The program comes with 6 workouts

and the time is broken up into 30 day intervals (for pictures)... Day 1-45 you do workouts phase 1-2, day 45-90 you do phase 3-4, and after day 90 you use the maintanance phases 5-6 plus a plyometrics routine for legs... I strayed from the norm though, given how I was constantly finding that after 2-3 weeks I needed to kick it up a notch, as well as wanting NOT to become complacent with a certain routine everyday (trying to beat back any plateaus)

What I'm doing is.... Day 1-30 Phase 1-2, Day 31-60 Phase 3-4, and Day 61-90 Phase 5-6 +plyo legs. Now for Day 91-120, I'll switch between 3-4 and 5-6 to further the change up routine until I get P90X which is another 12 (different) routines set to another 90 days.

All the phases (1-4) contain a sculpting routine and cardio/ABS routine. And it's further broken down like this:

Mon- Sculpt
Tues- cardio/ABS
Wed- Sculpt
Thurs-cardio/ABS
Fri- Sculpt
Sat- cardio/ABS

Sun- off day


The 5-6 routine is similar though I break it down like this:

Mon- Sculpt
Tues- Cardio/ (ABS-from phase 3-4)
Weds- Plyo legs
Thurs- Sculpt/ (ABS-from phase 3-4)
Fri- Cardio
Sat- Plyo legs/ (ABS-from phase 3-4)


Now during the past 66 days or so, I've had to make adj. because of one reason or another, being sick, not feeling up to it a specific night, or whatever. But I've always made up training days by either doing double duty, or by supplementing with some other form of rigorous activity, i.e. snow shoveling. The key with this program or any training plan is that the participant be honest, do the workouts, stay committed, eat right ( or somewhat better than before the routines), drink water (and plenty of it), get plenty of rest, and for _od's sake: stretch. We don't want the main reason that we don't workout/train to be because we're injured.
One thing I've had to give up for the winter months is running and cycling. Honestly, it's too cold for my lungs to take, and well obviously the snow. So, when the time comes, which is fast approaching I'll be adding another routine to what is above, running around 12-15 mi. /wk, and cycling 30-45 mi. /wk. Hope this helps, but if anyone wants further day by day clarification, look at my logs. I've been logging since day one, giving a more accurate account of how I've achieve these results...

Wow! that's inspirational! way to go, keep it up.

Yeah, I carry a 1 ltr jug of water with me whereever I go, and I fill it up about 4 x a day. That's between 96 and 132 oz h2o a day.

Thanx, I wish though, I was more defined. That's where most of my frustration comes from. I shouldn't, as saling suggests, put too much stock into the numbers on the scale. And I try not to let my day be defined by it, but.... after yrs. of battling with it you'd thind that a measure of athleticism comes in how much we weigh. (burning cal. and all- metabolism) It seems I'm fighting a losing battle, or at least a benign one. The scale may never get to below 185, but I can change my body image by reducing BF, and increasing lean muscle mass. Which by the end might make me heavier. ( muscle weighs more than fat!)

Ahhhh... they're only a few ounces a piece. And they're more of a pain in the rear to have. I'm really thinking about tossing them and getting my lobes back... I've had them for close to 4 yrs now. But I got my first piercing when I was 13, and just added the other 3 when I was 18, then over time I started to stretch them out ( 2 lower ones). On a lighter note, I do take off my watch and ring when I weigh myself... Does that Help???? He He He.

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!! you're still my inspiration.

i think you are doin great. once you get more lean muscle i dont think you are going to care what you weigh. imo

Last week 202.4 I think...
This week 201.4

Getting pretty close to 200, I had my first tri last Sat and finished 96/400+. So I was pretty pleased. I still have a lot of work to do though.

Trey

good job on your first tri trey

x2. Congrats! top 25% is pretty good for a first timer. Are you gonna go pro?
