I Hate Cardio - May 29

[August]

Morning Haters and Pushers!

I did ME today. It was pretty fun. As much as I don't like doing legs, I actually sort of like the leg presses (and you need to 'cause there are lots in there!).

I also designated today's lunch as my cheat meal.

Don't get mad at me. I went to the health store to buy asparagus (and look for barley which I couldn't figure out again x( ) and saw a really yummy-looking box lunch. It had all sorts of veggies, fish, one piece of candied yam and brown rice...I know, I know, well at least it wasn't white rice, eh? It totally hit the spot and I'm very satisfied.

You know, I've come to the realization that I really don't have the desire to eat crap right now. Again, very strange...and very nice.

And this morning was my weekly check up. Care to know the results? No? Well, I'll tell you anyway.

I got the same results that I did the first week!! How wacky is that? That means :

Fat lost = 1.2 pds
Muscle lost = 1.3 pds

Hmmm. I'm not even eating the caloric intake I can be eating for maximum results (1450cal...I'm eating up towards 1600cal). But if I up my calories much more, I'll be at what's supposed to be my maintenance level.

But you know, what with pushups coming up, I might need those extra calories...}(

Is everyone still on vacation? (No vacation over here.)

I'm replying to myself, yeah!!!

Actually, I'm here again because I just read the previous Hate and wanted to congratulate Michele on reaching her GOAL!! Good for you! Woo WOo WOOO! :7 :7 :7 !

Kate - how'd your BBQ go?

I am off today. There is a practice for the school talent show. The K girls (10 of them) are doing a Hilary Duff song. Very cute.
I got up too late this morning. Too much fun yesterday. The bar-b-que was fun but now I have eaten way too much and TODAY I begin my crusade to lose 15.
Whew!
Have a great day!!!
NO pushups. None

Hey Haters!!

August,

How do you get those measurements of fat and muscle loss?

Well I should just come on here every morning/afternoon and haunt you all! LOL! Not much cardio for me for this rotation that I am on. Going thru my bulking cycle now.

Charlotte~~

 

[Tallchick]

not much cardio on your rotation. Is this a rotation from Heaven??? What, pray tell, is it?

 

[August]

No cardio?! That DOES sound like the rotation from Heaven!

Hey, Charlotte, long time no see! How's your new work going?

I'm getting my measurements of weight/body fat from the dreaded Tanita scale. I know they are notorious for inaccuracy, but it's all I've got for now, so I'm using it more as a monitor of up and down. I'm following BFFM now, and have been for the past three weeks. It feels totally like a game - eat the best I can, workout the best I can,...and then see if I get a good score at the end of the week! I've never been more serious to change my body in my life.

I've heard you've made some awesome rotations - do you have them posted somewhere?

Hi Everybody!

Can't stay long...DH is waiting. I have no clue what we're doing today but we might go to a movie. It's stinking hot and humid here--UGH! I have LIS but haven't done it yet, DH and I walked about 2 miles today and it included a couple of killer hills.

August, I have no clue what's going on with your measurements, but 1400 cals doesn't sound like enough to me. Maybe you need to ^ your cals. Try it for a couple of weeks and see what happens. Well, if you're REALLY happy eating that non cheat food for your cheat meal then have at it--sheesh. I'll eat a cinnamon roll for you--lol!

TOASTY!!!!! We have missed you. I thought you bailed on us. I want a rotation with no cardio--wah! I hope you'll stop by more often. We need someone around here to kick our butts:7

Kate, have a good time at the kiddie show. I'm glad the barbecue went well. That sounds wonderful. We're thinking about grilling out if the weather holds up. There's a good chance of thunderstorms today, though:-(

I'm going to begin my push up journey with the negatives that Cathe described in the Ask Cathe forum. I think someone pasted it into our thread the other day. If you gals are interested but can't find the post let me know. I may have bookmarked it.

TTFN and have a great day!

Honeybunch has some great pointers on Push-ups in Open Forum. Ooooh, she is tough, but I do need some upper body strength and six months of working out my triceps has done nothing. Fingers crossed.
