Blu Bulks for some Big Ones Journal

[fatbackgoal]

I am just not detailed enough to know or care, it just isn't important to me. the only number I ever obsess on is the damn scale!!!!

Might be the worst number you can pay attention to. From reading your post I think you have it down enough to where you can look at yourself in the mirror and pictures and see where you are. As for a training log I could not live without mine. It is nice to be able to go back over what you did before to see what worked and what didn't.

[fatbackgoal]

Then we went out for drinks and "junk food"- I had 2 Captains and diets and was ready to fall asleep - could not eat any junk food - I went home made some eggs and brown rice.
I will not survive single life at this pace:dunno:

I know what you mean. When my wife and I go out we always say we are going to party hard and stay out all night. It never ends that way, but with the cost of drinks and cover I am glad I am dull at times.

First time I ever ducked out before everyone else ...was just wiped out
I have been training harder and my diet is pretty tight - so the 2 drinks were plenty.

Final totals - even with drinks pretty good


Total cals

fat 53.0
carbs 95.5
pro 159.2

And you never stray from your Captains I noticed.

And you never stray from your Captains I noticed.

when you find something that works ...stick with it :)

[gman]

I wish you never had me try Captains...now I want them and can't have them. In Columbus I am going to have a few, that's for sure.

[Sledge]

And how are you this fine morning Ms Blu.

[blu2xtreme]

I wish you never had me try Captains...now I want them and can't have them. In Columbus I am going to have a few, that's for sure.

They are very smooth and enjoyable:)


And how are you this fine morning Ms Blu.

To early to know yet ...need a few more coffees
How are you guys ?

[gman]

speaking of smooth, it's full body shave day...what a joy

Well you enjoy your coffee. I'm going to hit the sack and read for a while then push out some Zs . GM's surfing the net and logging food on fitday.

You do know how to have fun:p

Your pics don't leave much up to imagination ;)

Coffee refill and egg time - need to refuel

[Bob45]

I do know my max lifts, but since I am cutting, they don't really matter. 285 squat, 245 bench, and 425 dead

They do matter. If they are going down fast you are losing too much muscle.

[blu2xtreme]

Long day today went to visit my son that is in a facility due to a former meth addiction - he has come so far
When he went in he was a 130 lb spun out kid now he has finished school and works out every day - he was one of my inspirations to start lifting.
His stats now
5'8 170 lbs
43 inch chest 31 inch wait 16 inch arms flexed
Here's a pic from today with his sister and I

Glad he is doing so well now. You can tell in clothes how big a V-taper he has.

[freebirdmac]

He looks healthy and it sounds like he's doing great! Good for him!

Thanks guys
He is doing great -I am very proud of him
He gets to lift 2 days a week so most of his growth has been from body weight exercises - the guys there give him a hard time now and say he gets it naturally from his mom

Thank you...it's been a long hard road for all of us, but he has his Mom's heart and drive ...it will see him though.

[fatbackgoal]

Blu,

Way to be an inspiration not only in lifting weights to change your life but there to support your son when he needed you most.

[blu2xtreme]

Blu,

Way to be an inspiration not only in lifting weights to change your life but there to support your son when he needed you most.

Thanks - it would amaze people just how awesome of a kid he is and how much his spirit lifts me and keeps me positive in hard times.

[gman]

I bet this experience has matured him a lot.

[Sledge]

Seems like Mom might have been an inspiration to him too. Good job.

[blu2xtreme]

I bet this experience has matured him a lot.
No doubt it has ...his sister is great support to - and she works on anti drug programs through school and church


Seems like Mom might have been an inspiration to him too. Good job.
Thank you sir ...my son and I have both come a long way these past few years:)

[blu2xtreme]

Kick ass week ...in a bad way
We will be short our front desk girl so I will be working both dental operatories all week.
Eating will be a problem for sure - planning on big 1st meals to help and bringing lots of rtd shakes / protein bars then eat real food at night.
Did pack some chicken and cottage just in case I have time.

40 mins cardio this morning inclines - still sore from leg day - 2 days ago

[gman]

Get the calories in, if it takes rtd or bars, it still counts!

[blu2xtreme]

Get the calories in, if it takes rtd or bars, it still counts!

Promise I will coach ... I have been working to hard to go backwards this week
starting with eggs and brown rice so hopefully I will only use shakes or bars for 2 meals
Chest day ... Don't go easy on me:p

[gman]

I sent your chest training, did you get it?

Are you eating like a good girl?

[Sledge]

A table spoon of macadamia nut oil in a shake adds some cals of good fats also. Heck, if you make your shake with oats and mac nut oil it's close to a perfect meal.

[blu2xtreme]

I sent your chest training, did you get it?

Are you eating like a good girl?

Did not train .... Did not eat anywhere near what I should

got up- got on the treadmill and said screw it
this is who I am now
I train - I eat
life is not going to beat me down anymore

[buckimscl]

Checking in with my Baby Blu.

[blu2xtreme]

Checking in with my Baby Blu.

Sorry I missed my Bucky:hugme:

today is more hellish then yesterday
did get meal 1 in and a rtd shake

[gman]

put some olive oil in your shake tonight or something, Blu...get some cheap easy calories somehow.

[Sledge]

put some olive oil in your shake tonight or something, Blu...get some cheap easy calories somehow.

Olive oil tastes crap in a shake. I've had to do it a few times when i ran out of macnut oil.

Mac nt tastes good. Or a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. Or even just eat the peanut butter off a spoon and chase it with a shake.

[gman]

cool, just trying to get her some calories! she is always scrambling to catch up at night. I am sure she doesn't have mac nut oil though. Maybe get some Paula!

[blu2xtreme]

put some olive oil in your shake tonight or something, Blu...get some cheap easy calories somehow.

This is what I have so far ...not too bad considering everything

Meal 1 - oats/whey/pb
meal 2- rtd muscle milk
meal 3- rtd muscle milk
meal 4- tuna pack / sweet potato / pb

will do Chest tonight as a make up night
and back workout tomorrow night instead of a rest night

[freebirdmac]

Blue is buckling. Again. :(

[gman]

Nah, she will catch up, right Paula?

I think it's tough when you work with no breaks for 9 hours straight!

[GirlyMuscle]

Blu, get a couple of extra shaker cups. 2 scoops protein powder, 1 tb mac nut oil, 25g dextrose. Make three of them and take them to work to sip at all day. .....in addition to 2-3 food meals.

[blu2xtreme]

Blue is buckling. Again. :(
Won't buckle ...just a hard time right now

I have whey at work but didn't have to time to mix it - so that idea might help but we can only eat and drink in breakroom - which makes it harder.

[gman]

What is it like to have to work both surgery rooms by yourself Paula? Those of us who don't really work for a living need to know what you go through in a hell week like this

[HeavyDutyGuy]

Its got to be tough! Why won't life just let us train and eat? Just get thru this stretch, do as good as you can, then move on...

[blu2xtreme]

What is it like to have to work both surgery rooms by yourself Paula? Those of us who don't really work for a living need to know what you go through in a hell week like this
I give 100% to my patients so I can't just hurry and not care - plus I have double the reports to get out too.
Tomorrow is worse then today then Thurs doesn't seem as bad but we do have a surgical case which are very long.


Its got to be tough! Why won't life just let us train and eat? Just get thru this stretch, do as good as you can, then move on...

Wouldn't that be cool ...just train ...eat ...throw in some sex here and there

Thank goodness I only work 4 day weeks

[gman]

I bet you work twice as hard as the dentist or whatever he is called when he does root canals. I am sure it's a fancy term so he can charge more.

Endodontist - 3 years extra school and well worth the extra price:D
Especially if I am the assistant - I got a lot of praise from patients today so that's cool.

It makes it worth it when people appreciate your efforts.

In my line of work, it's not often the case, because I have to tell people they owe money!

[freebirdmac]

We gotta figure this out. Forget trying to fire up your metabolism and gain muscle. You cannot under eat due to workload for your physical and mental well being. Long days require food for both the body and the mind.

[gman]

Paula, can you mix the shakes up in shaker cups when you get to work and at least have them ready for when you get a few? Just throwing stuff out there.

I really hate it too...I really am doing much better with food.

My poor Doc doesnt hardly eat either ..we never get a lunch break.
It's really hard trying to make up cals at night ..but I really try

[blu2xtreme]

That's why I have been using rtd ones - they are really easy - but pricey

Usually I can mix a little water and pb into my whey and eat it really quick
but just couldnt find time today - drank the last drink as I walked out of work.

Heaviest set is what I used 30 - I have the old fashion db bar that you can add plates too - but I can grip the cast iron ones better.
I do use those for 1 arm rows to get a higher weight.

Just finished - Cardio 40 mins inclines

Good morning incredibly sexy blue2xtreme chick. How they hanging?

Thanks for making me smile this morning:)

I will be hanging tonight - I have to get back to working on those damn pull ups - I will beat them one day

[Bob45]

Did you have the same job when you were 100 pounds heavier? There is always time to eat.

Have a good day. Don't work too hard. Save it for the weights, lol.

Same job - but we have a young new doc
Never really ate that much at work - I was an emotional eater so I usually did my eating at home where the stress was.
Now I am the opposite - I can't eat when I am stressed :dunno:

I wish that was the case for me. I usually eat after I puke, lol. Junk food is very easy to eat at all times. All the good stuff I can take or leave. Maybe that's why I am down lately. No exciting food ever.

[buckimscl]

Checking in on my fave from Vegas.

[freebirdmac]

I am like that. I have zero desire to eat when stressed, emotional, mad, etc. But these days I know better and force myself.

Cram in the cals at breakfast and when you get home. Eat more calorie dense foods. Adding macadamia oil is a great suggestion. Bananas aren't hard to down when you're not hungry. Yogurt is another food that's easy to eat when full.

[gman]

Good suggestions, Pam.


I eat so fast when I am stressed, I don't even realize how much I ate until afterwards, and it often is 1000-1200 calories in 1-2 hours.

[blu2xtreme]

I am dedicated to do this the best I can.

I use to stress eat like that...weird how it changed

[freebirdmac]

Yes! I noticed! I think us nagging and poking you helps :) It is that important. It's all too easy to fall back into old habits.

Your stress level is going to be high for awhile. B-complex vitamins are crucial for helping your body deal with stress.

Mike changes up my workout everytime

I actually had 15 to eat -

You guys must be nice...I show up early every damn time, and end up waiting 15 minutes AFTER the scheduled time to be seen!

[tifflex]

Mike changes up my workout everytime


What is the purpose of changing up the routine each time? Do you mean a change in exercises or sets/reps? How do you gauge progression if the workout changes weekly?

5 mins is sufficient:D. Good job Blu.

[gman]

Since Paula is just really getting started and wants to finally try to bulk a little, I have changed her up some in that I want her to rest longer between sets and try to lift heavier than she has before. We just started that last Saturday.

I mix up the exercises each week, never the exact same routine so she never quite gets used to it. But the menu of exercises is fairly limited because of limited equipment and weight amounts, so she repeats some exercises every week, but not all of them. She has already maxed her db's out on a lot of the chest stuff, I am not sure what to do about that.

Right now, I just want her to have fun and push herself more than she was before.

Thanks for answering Mike
Yes I need to join one ...starting out on my own soon and the place I am moving to has some ok equipment - I actually coach mike pics of the stuff - he said we can work with it:)


Hey Blu!

Hi girl ...miss you


Just got home - had only one 5 min break all day

I don't know how you stay on your feet that long. My lower back would be aching for sure.

[MsGuns]

I miss ya too...I heard the pit went down yesterday and I thought I would post and say hi.

[blu2xtreme]

A lot of hard root canal cases today ...my back is tweaked from twisting to much assisting - hopefully working out with help stretch it out

Nice seeing you around ... stop by more

[blu2xtreme]

Meals I managed to eat during my busy work day

I mean almost anything sounds good to me after trying to diet for 15 weeks now.

What is your suggestion if not a greasy burger?

I was thinking nachos. :hypno:

Or maybe Italian food.

[buckimscl]

So what are we craving Ms. Blu????? Any ideas???

Nachos - I have a good story about nachos - remind me someday when I had a few drinks:p

Just about anything sounds good. I want to definitely save room for some dessert.

I will have a few drinks and watch you guys eat to much and get sick
and be glad I don't have to take care of any of you

I might have to drink beer and eat a big meal on Friday, so I might have to put off dessert until Saturday.

So what's your fave dessert?


you're the one that needs a cheat meal...come on, blu, you trying to bulk or what?

If I think of something I really want ...I will have it in Columbus ...promise

[buckimscl]

Tiramisu or a cannoli is what i've been geeking for lately!

[gman]

So what's your fave dessert?


Hot fudge sundae or big brownie with vanilla ice cream melting all over it.

I have a hard time deciding because I never get dessert these days.

Hellish is the perfect word for my week but I think I will survive it.
My whole upper body is burning... So I did something good last night

getting the treadmill inclines done now -will 40 mins
I have to do cardio on work mornings especially during
my stressed times

[gman]

where is it most sore, trying to figure out which exercise did it? or did you just work harder this time and press yourself?

[blu2xtreme]

where is it most sore, trying to figure out which exercise did it? or did you just work harder this time and press yourself?

I think I am still a little sore from chest day too
I have realized very often I don't press myself enough and just take it easy
I have really been trying to work as hard as possible lately so results should show it

[gman]

they will, if you eat well and keep training like this, you will see some big changes.

Keep fighting for the cals and great job on the workouts! No letting everything send you into a fetal position with twinkies in your mouth! We be tough here :D

I've done that before.....only difference was that I was nekkid :D

You WILL do a pullup. No negativity allowed.

Eating is getting much easier and yes Pam I actually get hungry all the time now:)

[gman]

next on the agenda...getting you to eat a cheat meal once every year or two.

[gman]

I did decide on the dessert I want after the show...

the hot fudge gooey brownie type dessert with the ice cream over top...I have no idea what it's called.

Excellent!!! Hunger is a very good sign! How are your clothes fitting these days?

This! You really do need to loosen the reigns. You're still eating below maintenance. Having a higher cal day can do wonders for helping the metabolism.

No they're not! I do the hammer laterals with 20s! You're doing great

[Bob45]

Hot fudge sundae or big brownie with vanilla ice cream melting all over it.

I have a hard time deciding because I never get dessert these days.

You came within 2 calories on your last two days. That's pretty consisitent eating.

Weight has been hanging around 133 -134 for months now so that is a good thing ...and clothes are feeling different but some of the juniors clothes I had been wearing are cut for skinny arms and legs - that is not my build unless I am starving myself...so done with that

My daughter and I have a late lunch out planned to do some talking about our new future so I might actually do a cheat meal today...maybe


No they're not! I do the hammer laterals with 20s! You're doing great

I am feeling my workouts a lot more so I am pushing myself a little more


You came within 2 calories on your last two days. That's pretty consisitent eating.
I pretty much always eat the same thing ...and I adjust what I eat at the last meal to make up for lack of cals if needed

[freebirdmac]

I don't care about scale weight. What I want to know is are your pants getting tighter/looser around the waist, hips and thighs.

Do have a "cheat" meal. Many a person has been amazed at what one does for the metabolism :yep:

Good. You want to see that things are changing. Ignore the scale. Even better don't even weigh yourself. You should be seeing signs of a slow lean at 1700. Having the occasional "cheat" meal will serve to bolster fat loss.

You are in a good position to recompostition, ie lose some body fat while gaining muscle.

She will want Panda Express ( her fave - not mine ) or Chilies
I am thinking Sammys Woodfired Pizza they have good salads

How about a compromise...one slice of pizza and a salad

I shared a Italian Chopped salad and had a piece of barbecue chicken pizza and even a diet coke. I feel way full but that is most likely from the diet coke since I never have pop.

My weight and waist measurements were unchanged this am too. Despite the bowl of oatmeal and piece of dark chocolate at 10pm. Right before bed :)
When you don't constantly deprive yourself of carbs, the bad responses, bloating and weight gain, are muted. There are exceptions. If I had eaten really salty food for example it'd be different. But good carbs are just that. Good!

[blu2xtreme]

Gained 2 lbs since yesterday - water gain or not it doesn't make me happy this morning

Hang in there Blu!

[freebirdmac]

Honestly. Stop fretting about weight. You are not going to gain fat at 1700 cals! You should also log yesterday's food to keep yourself honest. Under eating because you had a piece of pizza is not good. If anything, keeping your diet at 1700 and lifting is one area of your life that is going good :)

[gman]

Don't fret Paula. Drink a lot of water today and you will be fine

I know I will be tempted to eat less today now and that's is idiotic.
Training and finally eating is the one part of my life that is under control.

I bought some buffalo steaks at costco yesterday
anyone ever have them and should I tell my family what it is or is it close enough to steak that they won't notice a difference?

You can whine. You do have a lot going on. Just no whining about a couple of pounds of water :)

Buffalo is like beef, just leaner. Make sure you do not over cook it.

[gman]

I am a geek remember, so fret is a fresh and exciting word for me!

Buffalo is a leaner meat, so it might need to be marinated, not sure.

I used it ground to make chili a couple of times and there was zero grease in the pan after I fried it.

[blu2xtreme]

Back to training and eating

Meal 1 - 1 egg / 1/2 c. egg beaters / 1/3 c brown rice
Yes I am in a meal runt - but I like it that way

Leg day today and rest day tomorrow - I need to workout today

Blu Bulks for some Big Ones


When pray tell do you unveil 'the Big Ones' or have you already and I missed it?


Baldie

[HeavyDutyGuy]

Wait. Are we bulking or cutting? Id be overjoyed to gain 2lbs off 1700 cals. Yeah it'd be mostly water- in the muscle since they're 70+% water, and maybe some lean tissue. Can't be fat, not on that amount of calories. Weight =/ (doesnt equal always) fat. Gotta post this at the top of most womens threads or journals... you're fine, hun, just keep going..

The uprights slant back and I reversed the pegs that hold the bb - so I enter looking forward - I am pretty short so it's not to bad getting it up - but when you go to put it back on the rack you pretty much do a good morning move.

[blu2xtreme]

How come I am always behind in cals at the end of the day when I feel like I am always eating?

Meal 1 - 1/2 egg beaters / 1 egg / brown rice
Meal 2 - protien bar ( out running around )
Meal 3 - MM rtd shake and almonds ( still out running around )
Meal 4 - Tilapia / brown rice
Meal 5 - whey shake ( after workout )

Because your meals are too small and too few carbs:)
On the weekends and days off you really should eat something other than protein bars and RTD's.

Starting something new today - I get up 4:30 for cardio and I never eat until 7:30 when I get to work, so I started today having a whey shake right after cardio - it should help me get the extra cals in and help to get an early meal in.

depends which one - I use all the whey isolate - which is low on fat and carbs
myofusion is higher and muscle milk is the highest


You don't like vegetables do you?

hate veggies - I do like greenbeans

go read kimsquits thread about how he has gotten his protein almost exclusively from whey for almost 2 years now.

Paula, think about mixing your whey in milk or almond milk for a few extra calories and good nutrients.

I think Chris eats other stuff too. He is not a keto guy.

Anyway, my opinion is if it takes whey right now for Paula to get her macros in, we need to not bust her chops for it.

I wasn't busting her chops. I was curious about the macro content. It's important pre and post workout. At other times shakes and RTDs are good when a meal just isn't going to happen. Or when leaning out and cals are in short supply.

OK, didn't mean to start anything.

Good numbers!

When I trained with Max he always had my feet on the bench. He always kept his on the bench too. Now that I am training alone my feet are on the floor. I could stand to have a plate or two but that's a hassle in my gym. It should be easy for you do to at home.

Not enough recovery time? You think you'll recover overnight? Phfftt. If the muscles you worked are still sore a week from now when you work them again, then you have a recovery issue. You should expect soreness for several days. It's not guaranteed, but not surprising.

Great idea about the plate ..I will try it next time

I didn't mean about last nights workout ...just in general I need more rest:)

Enough rest/sleep is a problem for many of us. Not enough recovery time implies you're working muscles too often. It's a bb terminology thing :)
