Operation FitnBuf Comeback

[FitnBuf]

Okay Peeps!! Here we go…..Been forever since I started a journal (at least one that I can keep up with).

Since my last competition life has thrown me a few missiles.
My quest in this next journey is to FIRST surround myself with genuine people. It’s funny to me how you learn the true character of those around you during your darkest moments. Now that I finally have a great supportive circle and I have overcome injury and surgeries, I am READY to feel the stage under my feet once again!

My biggest obstacle will be walking in 5” heels again. I am currently still unable to wear heels over 1” due to the pain in my right foot. Unfortunately the only way to fix it is more surgery and frankly, I am tired of surgeries. The doctor even suggested fusing the joints in my foot as a last resort but it would prevent me from ever wearing heels….”FORGET THAT!!!” I screamed….never wear heels???? Unacceptable option for this Shoe-Gal!!! LOL I will just live with the pain!

ANYWAY!
2013 I intend to COMEBACK with the guidance of someone I trust and respect and of course my drive to be a better version of me!

I haven’t pinned down a show yet….but I am looking toward end of June or August. Once I see the NPC calendars for 2013, I can make a decision.

Into the rabbit hole we go…………………………..

Happy Hump Day to you all. :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING RX PEEPS!!

I think my oven just REJECTED my Thanksgiving dinner...my ignitor stopped working in the middle of prepping for tomorrow....I guess since it is not chicken/fish or asparagus my oven refused to work for BAD carbs....such a supportive oven I have!!

Lmao!!!

Fun times :)

Happy Tday eve to you and yours.

[FitnBuf]

LOL. Thank you. Enjoy your Tday with the fam :)

[FitnBuf]

I hope everyone is full and sleepy!!

I had a spoonful of everything just to taste...disappointed with some flavors. I think my tastebuds are ruined for this kind of food, Even the fat girl that lives within me wasn't impressed.

After the food and clean up my gym was already closed so I went to the park and did some stairs and walking lunges. I did make an effort to jog but the pain of the impact through my foot was just too much to bare. Total 50 min not including the bike ride over there.

Cant wait til morning, gym opens at 6am!!

All the best RX!!!

Still going hard even on the holidays...that's what I like to hear!

[lksurf2]

so what happened with you foot? Is it something that just occurred or where you in an accident?

[PFEPerformance]

Lovin the pics and funnies!! I've got some foot issues also - not as bad as what yours seems to be - but, girl - I CAN relate!!!

Have a good one!

[D-NUTZ]

Way to get in a holiday workout! More than I did lol.

Hope you killed it this morning.

[lksurf2]

^^^lol I feel like this about 80% of the time. but usually takes me a full day before the soreness kicks in a bit. so glad I just layed around yesterday because legs were hurting pretty good lol.

[Hoss06]

I love the leg pain!

[PFEPerformance]

I love the leg pain!

DITTO!!! The need for a handicap rail in the bathroom is a JOB WELL DONE!!! LOL

[cook]

Hope you enjoyed the Thanksgiving feast fitnbuf and great job getting up early to start working it off

[FitnBuf]

Still going hard even on the holidays...that's what I like to hear!

Waz up!!!!! Stupid gym closing??? That pissed me off enough to go to City park in the Metro area...and with the rise of crazy people in Denver....I had to be pretty pissed off to risk it! LMAO

Made me train harder tho ;)


so what happened with you foot? Is it something that just occurred or where you in an accident?

I didnt realize I failed to put it in my intro...After my last show I needed reconstructive surgery (caused by years of high heels)...I tried to hit the gym to soon after surgery thinking I was young and invincible ..like a dumbass I fell sideways on my weakened foot and it crumpled underneath me causing permanent damage to my bones. Unfortunately the impact caused the third metatarsal bone to jam and protrude upward on the top of my foot (the doctors cannot fix it, the bone will forever stick out)...since it broke apart in the middle of the healing process from surgery .... the doctors would like to go in and remove/adjust the metal holding it together since it healed poorly. If they cannot fix it that way the doctors wan to fuse the joints ... I decline further surgeries .... I am honestly sick of being messed with. I have decided it is better to live with the semi movement I have and the tolerable pain, then risk the doctors crippling me.

^^^Sorry for the long story but it has been a rough ride back to the gym. :)

glad you are enjoying the 'funnies'....breaks up the monotony of the day. Foot issues SUCK...especially during cardio LOL...cardio is bad enough without the added irritation of injury LOL

I took a bit if a siesta when I got home from work...seriously could not stay awake at work. I am awake just in time for the crowd to be filtering out of the gym.

Shoulder/glutes/abs

My shoulders are definitely an area where I want to grow. Since the thick shoulder pads of the 80's do not appear to be coming back in fashion...I'd better grow my own!! LOL

Okay, doing an experiment here. FitnBuf has volunteered to be an ambassador of sorts for the Women's Training Journals (http://forums.rxmuscle.com/forumdisplay.php?26-Women-s-Training-Journals). Moved her journal from there to here.

What I need now is a volunteer from the men to have their training journal moved over to the ladies' side! :-D j/k But it will be good to see a woman's perspective on training here.

Hey you!!!

Nice to see you in here.

When I first started my goal was to compete in figure but after loosing a lot of weight by changing diet only (without exercise) I ended up with zero muscle.
:(
I was able to gain enough to compete on bikini which was fun although I dont think my posing was in line with every other competitor on stage and in the long run it hurt me. I am seeking a different posing coach this go around.

...Unless I can gain enough muscle to switch to figure :) (I would be one HAPPY girl, if I did)

[FitnBuf]

Nice! Kill it, girl!!! ;)

Thank you xo :D

Ditto Ditto Ditto on HATING cardio!!! or moreso for me is the steady state cardio - BOOORRRRRRRRRRRRIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!! Kills me when 5 minutes pass and it FEELS like an hour already!! HIIT or some level of ramped up intervals I enjoy ......

Your foot story makes me NOT want to get mine fixed and just live with it - as I have been....."sigh".....

I broke a toe two years ago not realizing I had a double break - toe joint and one of the bones connecting to it in the top of my foot - assumed nothing much could be done for a broken toe anyway - taped it and got on with things..... later...after foot swelling and extreme pain some days sent me off to a foot doc.....found out things did not heal correctly and the further back break is causing some issues/pain .... etc...blah..blah... wearing heels some days is downright excrutiating and I now have to be extremely selective in the types of shoes I buy and making sure they are not narrow in the toes which causes a LOT of pain... The fix is to re-brake everything and put me in a cast for several weeks - haven't convinced myself I want to sign up for that at this point......

I will say it has helped my squating - lol - the second I begin to tire and not realize I'm bringing my heel up and putting pressure on the ball of my foot or toes - HELLO!! HEEL DOWN immediately and form corrected!

Keep on rockin girl!

[Hardatit]

I'm in. and I'm with you on the cardio. I have been doing 2 x a day for almost a month, it works but it sucks!

OUCHY

My foot hurt just reading that!!! Omg!! If u do decide to get it fixed shop around for quality podiatrists...I went with the first doc I saw and he ended up half-a$$ing the work which is one reason the other docs want to remove the metal he put in it. It is so scary Girl to have to trust these docs with your body. Thats why i am refusing additional work...recover sucks!!!

Good luck Girly!!

What is your cardio preference? Do u change it up to keep from being to bored?

[Hardatit]

Hey welcome to my journey, glad ur here!

What is your cardio preference? Do u change it up to keep from being to bored?

Right now I am walking at 3.0 mph at an 8% incline 45 minutes 2 x a day. I was jogging 3 days a week at 20 minutes and 45 minutes of walking everyday. The jogging seams to make me lose to much muscle though so I stopped, and yes it is boring I hate all cardio!

Cardio sucks.

So bad.

Today is BACK BABY!!! I could train back all day!! Love it!

Nice workout and assets.

[Hoss06]

Try beginning the workouts with some DB rows and or pull-ups...just to see if it makes a difference....you'll get there.

[lksurf2]

I also want to be able to to do clean pull-ups with no assist. but really lack the strength to get any reps lol. but I do like Using the assisted machine more as I feel you can focus more on pulling up more with your lats.


Don't worry next time you will do better on those db rows

.... And yes nice pic also lol

[cook]

Dont leave me when I need u most...lol.
Hey FNB just checking in.Looks like a good back workout.I like the carb cycling.I have talked to several people who swear by it.I may try it myself.Pic looks very good.I would really hit those hams if I was you.Good luck and we are ALL here for you.

[Sunnyday]

Checking in...looks like you are making some nice progress! Agree w/Hoss on doing the pullups at the start of your WO. Also if you are not already using straps I highly recommend them. They made a big difference for me.

[D-NUTZ]

I also feel assisted pull-ups more in my back and less in my arms than normal ones.

Gotta start somewhere.

Keep up with the good work.

Lookin good girl!

Put your pullups at the start of your back day after warmup! Consider purchasing a set of VersaGrips - HUGE difference for me! Hand placement at shoulder width or a "smidge" wider - FOCUS on pulling with your LATS and to your chest!! It will come IF you consistently keep at it!

I used to be "lucky" if I could do 2-3 unassisted and ugly ones --- lots of jerking and huffing/puffing......UGLY!! lol

NOW can do 4-6 NICE sets of 10-12 unassisted as well as different variations with grips, width, added weight, etc.... THESE are a MUST peice to my back day and once I committed to that thought - I've never looked back..... You can do it!!!

Craziness around me...sorry for the absence...doesn't take me long to miss my RX Peeps tho :)


Weekend was crazy!!! Sat 2 Christmas parties and Sunday was Hanukkah dinner. Of course two more parties before the end of the year....biggest obstacle is not denying the food, its trying to have people understand that my tupperware of clean food is not meant to offend them .... People frustrate me SMH!!

My weekend training wasn't too bad except the sauna is closed at my gym for construction :'(

Last Friday my leg day sucked gigantic ball sack so I am pretty pissed off about that....today is my quest for punishment!!!! These legs will fall off before I leave the gym!! BOOM BABY!!!!!

yeah every other day at work or so we might cook up bfast and people always ask why dont you have it? I reply because I bring my food everyday. Then they go and say well you could save it for tomorrow.....I have tried explaining it to them it doesn't work like that, and that these meals are weighed and measured.....ugh anymore I just say no thanks and just walk out of the room lol.

[Hoss06]

I think many dont consider inviting me out any where or presume I don't want anything of they are getting food...the sad part is, they are correct. I'm OCD w/ sticking to my plan 100% (w/ the exception of a free meal or when unexpected events occur) it is rare when I don't do as what is outlined in the plan.

[lksurf2]

yeah people stopped asking me to go hangout with them awhile ago. but it's like sorry I have work at 5 a.m. And cardio before that so sleep is important to me. that and I don't care for drinking or clubbing.... which makes it a bitch to meet people.... but Most of the time those girls are kinda trashy so don't really care

[Hoss06]

I try to find balance...I just bring my meal(s) with me..If they don't like the lifestyle I chose then too bad. I don't do this for them

people at work are the worst...EXAMPLE: the HR dept had a presenter come in and speak about health and exercise, good cals bad cals (of course it was the normal "In Shape Mag" propaganda crap the FDA poisons people with) for an hour and at the end they gave a group quiz...for every right answer you got a bag of M&M's.....WTF????

they have no idea what it is like to actually live healthy and apply knowledge every single day. One lady asked me today "how do I get rid of this muffin top?" And i told her to start in the kitchen. She looked at my fish and crunched her nose with disgust and continued to eat her processed microwave pizza.

UGH...i wanted to say don't fuggin ask me then!!! Hate work people.

Nothing like being invited to parties just to watch people kill themselves slowly with processed nasty food

lol. Me too. I never get invited now unless there is a gift involved. If someone asks me to the club I tell them about the hottest club in town called the GYM! ;)

I hear you on the tupperware. The worst are the ppl who go out of their way to taunt you about how "good" whatever shit they're eating is. For this special sub species of fucktard I generally say "I choose to eat a certain way because I enjoy looking and performing a certain way...Which I can only assume means that you do too." If they've been especially douchey about it i then point at their gut :)

[FitnBuf]

Oops. Didn't mean to be absent for this long...my regular gym closed for renovation so i have been bouncing around town to less satisfying gyms...I am sure these other gyms are perfectly fine, I just hate change. Lol.

I am also awaiting word from my coach to see where he wants to take me so once I have that info I will put it in here.

Meanwhile:

Today is going to be fun, headed to a large gym 30min from my house so I can let the Diva Beast out properly!!! Gonna kill my chest and bis...!!!

Under the advice of a friend ... I had a real cheat meal at Smash Burger....soooooooo delish!!!!

But I confess I have been struggling getting all my food down and I have been lazy with my water...(that reminds me....take a drink...swig)....not sure why my tummy is fighting me.

I know what you mean about going to a gym you are not familiar with.Just figuring out where everything is can be a hassle.I`m glad you reminded me about drinking water.I have to be the worlds worse about this.I go days at a time and forget to drink any.I for some reason never get thirsty no matter what I seem to be doing that should make me thirsty.We have a Smash burger here in town I love it too. Have a great day and hit it hard.

Yes!!!! It is so annoying...and like you said sometimes they need to hear the truth...it was classic when I was talking to this very obese lady who had a gigantic cinnamon roll donut And while she ate it, she explained how her weight is a medical issue and she has come to terms with being fat due to these issues.....what??? I just sat in disbelief that she was feeding me such crap! Lol

Things have been insane with the holidays...my apologies. I have been keeping on at my gym...the changes are nice, cleaner and new LED tvs are a classy step up. Lol. The BEST part is there is less traffic with the holiday ... Kinda like the calm before the storm of newbies!!! I was thinking maybe on the first I could hand out complimentary gym etiquette flyers...lol

I was going to take today off since its Christmas Eve, but the empty gym calls to me. Hard to resist.

Lite workout planned today
Back/bis:

Wide grip Pullups (hoping for at least two unassisted)
Lat pulldowns:15x4
Seated cable row: 15x4
Bentover DB row: 10x4 (I love this movement, ever since I started using straps I really feel so controlled and stable)

Standing cable curl: 12x4 squeezing hard and holding last two reps of each set
Single DB curl: 12x3
Spider curls: 10x3 (this is for D-Nutz thank you Sir for the inspiration)

No cardio....just because. ;) lol

I havent been doing them long. Its soooo not great when u get in but certainly helps. I normally get it cold enough that i can still stand it but will penetrate my legs. Afterward the gradual warm up is where I get impatient :)

By the end of the day, my fellow Spartans appear defeated as I go in for one final battle!!!

For now... Tired, bored and mentally melted....just back from dinner with the staff and executives....food was gross, everyone was drunk except me, altho it could have been entertaining to watch, I felt annoyed more then anything....CANT WAIT TO GET HOME!!!!!

[Sunnyday]

Nothin like a lil business travel to nowhere make you appreciate your home gym, eh? Last year I had a conference in Lancaster, PA and same thing...whole place closed down early. It was my cheat night and couldn't find a decent restaurant to pig out. :mad: Hotel gym sucked...a little cardio equipment and a Bowflex, LOL! A friend and I found an LA Fitness around the corner though...and we tore it up. Made the whole trip worth it. :)

Hey my RX Family.

Sorry been absent. Trying to get used to the night shift. Soooooo sleepy.

My appetite has disappeared ... It seems my stomach is asleep all the time. At night while at work I do not feel hungry and then of course when I sleep during the day I am not hungry.

Im sure it will improve as the weeks go by. Other then that nothing new.

I will try to get in here more as I get used to this schedule, for now my brain is jello ...lol

[cook]

hang in there and make yourself eat.I worked nights for a year many years ago.I remember it did take some getting used too but after a while I adjusted.good luck

[cook]

Any news FNB?

[FitnBuf]

Hey Cook!! Sorry been absent. Have been working 100+ hours lately. I am finally getting used to this night shift (kinda) my brain has been gone for a while. I just work, sleep, gym (repeat) lol.

I miss my RX family :) i will post my workouts Tomorrow after month end. Hope you have been doing good my friend :)

[Hoss06]

You're back!!

[FitnBuf]

Lol. Yeah looks like I have lots to catch up on. Lol

[Sunnyday]

Hey stranger! Glad you're back. :)

[PFEPerformance]

THERE you are! The RX Search Team was out hunting for you! LOL Glad all is well!!!

[FitnBuf]

Hey stranger! Glad you're back.


THERE you are! The RX Search Team was out hunting for you! LOL Glad all is well!!!

So glad to be back. I am still crazy sleepy but I think that is just going to be typical from now on...:) missed my RX fam!!! :)

Update:

Eating right...need more water and less coffee!! Lmao....

My workouts have been disappointing lately. I'll give the good and the bad:

GOOD:

My lift has gone up tremendously! I feel as green as "hulk diva" when I leave the gym. I have gone up a lot which makes me feel hard and strong!!! love that!! My cardio sucks but thats the norm lmao

BAD:

Working nights has thrown me into the peak hours at the gym...most machines are taken ( with a line)....same with cardio. I have altered my routine numerous times to prevent cool down while waiting for a bench/weight/machine. I am not used to the crowd...I will never discourage someone from going to the gym...(kudos to them) BUT, I want to tell them to GYFO my way...especially the ones who are not there to train. Ever notice some people who appear to just float around and take up space, not really working? Grrrrrr!!!!

Any way!! That my rant!

I am feeling physical change, which is motivating. I will start logging better as I would love feedback on my workouts.

Have a great HUMP DAY

Hang in there and do what you can on your training.I know how frustrating it can be to get out of your routine and trying to get a new one going but you will get through it.

[Sunnyday]

Congrats on the 4-pound drop! And way to kill it on leg training!

[PFEPerformance]

Go get em girl - show those legzzzzzzzzzzz whose BOSS !!!!

[hulk7510]

loving this journal;)

[FitnBuf]

Been working A LOT…and sleeping a little….thats basically how my life has been recently. Thankfully I will return to a normal 40 hour work week next week so I am relieved to say IM BACK BABY!!!

I have missed my RX Family! And most certainly have needed the positive vibes you all give me. Motivation has been low, and so has my good attitude. I think it is from working 60-70 hours a week….An interesting learning during these exhausting times is that I can be quite mean for no reason at all. Mostly road rage. I came pretty close to rearranging the collagen on one of the elitist mothers from my kids school and all she did was honk at me. In hindsight, I think it is best for the residence of Colorado that I get an adequate amount of sleep and gym time in my days.

I look forward to the upcoming weeks with work chilling out a bit. I have gone down in pant size, bra size, and my arms are looking and feeling better, I tend to hold ugly fat on my arms so its always exciting for me to see it go away. I still have a long ways to go but the GREAT news is that I have REAL friends around me, a great team to support me AND of course my RX Family!!! Can’t wait to poke through everyone’s journal and see what you guys have been up to!

Keep ur head up mommas...if this were easy everyone would be doing it, right?

[cook]

great to see you back.Now you can get back to kickin ass in the gym

[FitnBuf]

Took my 14yr old son to the gym with me...he became INSPIRED after watching Fast 6 with the Rock. Lol. (Great movie btw...a must see, also has Gina Carano in it. She did great)

Any way...my boy kept up with me. For a kid thats built like a basketball player he refused to do less then I did. And I was maxing out my weight just to see what he would push. My boy has the heart of a lifter!! (Mommy is so proud)

He certainly earned his membership. The look on his face when we left was priceless...exhaustion mixed with endorphins....beautiful mix!

Now That was upper body...tonight he will experience LEGS!!! Bwwwhaaahaahaa (dr. Evil laugh)
