Your right I use to be able to do cardio for hours ...not sure I could handle that anymore.

And no reason for you to ever do that again!

Speaking of cardio, I'd do 2-3 interval sessions a week. No more than 20 minutes of intervals plus 5 min warmup/5 min cool down.

I do have todays food packed and ready to go.

I will get 3 cardio sessions in a week, even if i hate it :D

[freebirdmac]

You did take picts (even if we don't see them) and measurements. Right? Picts should be in a bathing suit/underwear, front/back/side, posed, and relaxed.

I didn't ...I have a bad habit of judging everything by my weight and how my jeans fit :dunno:
Only Pic I have is on my journal from last week ( it's my avi too ) - and I am looking a little bulky in it :p

This is so true. Scales will lie and fuck with your mind. Photos as FBM says and the tape measure is the the best way to go.
Scales are the enemy.

Scales are the enemy.

Jeans aren't always reliable either. A good pump in the lower body muscles or a hormone cycle and boom! You're thinking fat. Plus we lose fat from all over. If you're shrinking elsewhere you are shrinking where you want. But it might take time to see and measure. Just look back through Mike's journal :hypno:

I know Mike's journal and his ups and downs well ...we are a lot alike
I will try and get some measurements this weekend

At least I seem to have my food /workouts figured out finally
I do have a lot of traveling coming up which will mess with it but I will work around it.

[freebirdmac]

I'll be watching your carbs and fats :p

[blu2xtreme]

I'll be watching your carbs and fats :p

I need someone watching me and helping me ...thanks Pam:)

[blu2xtreme]

Should have been arm day but decided on cardio and will split arms with my chest and back days - it worked better that way last week.

30 mins cardio - bike

meal 1 - greek yogurt / whey / pb
meal 2 - garlic tuna package / sweet potato
meal 3 - whey
meal 4 - chicken 4 oz / low carb wrap
meal 5 - not sure yet - I still need to fitday and see where I am at for the day

[gman]

cottage cheese and applesauce, maybe?

[blu2xtreme]

I need to break the pb addiction ...I have enough obsessions :hypno:

Paula, I mean no disrespect, but are you really trying to bulk or are you maintaining. On 1500 calories?

[blu2xtreme]

Paula, I mean no disrespect, but are you really trying to bulk or are you maintaining. On 1500 calories?

Pam suggested a 12 lean out period and see how I do
To be honest I really think I would have to go lower to lean any
and I'm not sure I want to sacrifrice the good bulk I do have.
My body just looks better a little fuller ( can't believe I actually came to terms with that ) and muscular. I will never compete so I am not really that worried about leaning, I just want to keep the gains in check.

You do not have to go any lower in cals. It would have been nice if you had actually gotten your cals up to maintenance before, but definitely don't go any lower. We're working with a sluggish metabolism as it is.

Get some oats and olive oil in your diet. Back off a bit on the whey to stay in cal range.

How's your sleeping habits these days?

Not sure where my head is as far as what I want ...will keep cals around 1500 and with my body that might really still be a bulk and just keep lifting heavy. I have added cardio so that might change things up.

Sleeping habits have improved greatly - my stress level is at it's lowest in years , I have never been happier:)

[GirlyMuscle]

Have you gained muscle on this bulk? Has your weight changed?

[blu2xtreme]

Have you gained muscle on this bulk? Has your weight changed?

I feel and look as if I have gained muscle ...so maybe:dunno:

My weight had gone up ranging from 5 - 8 higher then when I started
My issue is with my extreme weightloss ( 100lbs) I just just look better a little bulky.

[GirlyMuscle]

I never realized you lost 100 pounds. Good for you! That kind of explains why you find it so hard to eat these days. Do you think there's a little fear of gaining too much going on in your head?

[blu2xtreme]

No doubt there is a fear ...a big one
the weight has been off for about 3 years
Part of my eating issues were emotional and life has been kinder lately so that has allowed me to feel better about eating and telling myself I am doing it to gain muscle helps keep me focused .
Having an understanding coach helps a lot too, Mike is great :)

That is not a bulk Paula. Not even close. Either way you keep lifting heavy. You'd also be surprised as to how much of the 5-8 pounds you gained is water. You'd have to look at picts and measurements to figure out if any were fat. And I seriously doubt it. You need this time to see that you can indeed lean out so you can feel comfortable going between "bulking" and leaning out without constantly short-changing your calories.

Makes sense Pam ...will continue as planned and see what happens

Only 2 back exercises? What happened to pullups and bent over rows?

Great job on the oats and Mac oil!!!

[gman]

3 back exercises, one arm db rows Pam!

bentover rows are tough, no barbells in the fitness center, but I did have her do them with two dbs one week, maybe will put that in again

There is also no assisted pullup machine in the fitness center.

Ah, just saw one arm db, assumed it was bicep.

Mike messed me up on that too ...I had to call him and ask about it.
Then I forgot and did copy /paste and posted it ...I am a bit spacey sometimes:)

[blu2xtreme]

Remember what I said about being stress free and sleeping well ...
I take it back , My daughter has 4 girls sleeping over and all they have done is giggle since they got here :hypno:

[Sledge]

Now you know it's not good to grind your teeth every time the giggling goes up an octave.

I have survived the night so far ...I am hiding in my bedroom watching Matrix and I have it turned up really loud so it drowns out the screeches and shrinks.


You spacey? When? :p

Some find my spaciness an endearing quality :)

[gman]

I bet you're still awake

[blu2xtreme]

I bet you're still awake

Pretty much .... Girls went to bed finally around 3am
and I was waken by a phone call so I am up already.
I will need a lot of coffee today:)

I did drink about a pot of coffee today ... splenda and a splash of fat free cinnamon creamer :D

This is my daughter first friend sleepover ever and she is 16 and a great kid so she deserves it :yep:

I can't remember a time when Dar's daughter didn't have a sleep-over and she is only 12. The girls eat all the good stuff too, like my oreo cookies.

[blu2xtreme]

My ex didn't allow sleepovers so now that we are alone I am sure more are in our future ...just less girls at onetime.
Food talley - Pizza,candy bars , hostess ding dongs , flamin hot cheetoos, chex mix , ice cream , cracker jacks , m & m's all of which they walked to the store to buy because I never have any junk in the house.
I did order the pizza for them :D

[blu2xtreme]

No food log today - my eating was so sporadic today
no clue what I actually ate ...just know I didn't hit my macros

I know I had a lot of coffee , nuts and whey
along with a donut and chex mix:dunno:

[GirlyMuscle]

He didn't ALLOW sleepovers??? No wonder you divorced him.

[Sledge]

Have a couple of donuts.

I got a decent about of protein ...just to many bad carbs

That's right ...you are fond of donuts:D

[blu2xtreme]

After some reflection on my goals and some advice , I have come to the realization that trying to lean out when I never truly got myself up to a true bulk is not going work.
So I am back to working cals back up , my life is in a way different and happier place now. I really think this time a can eat more and get back up to real maintenance cals and hopefully to a point I can start to add some muscle.

can't believe I missed this! more dips...you are doing great on them. If you want to try them every tricep day, do them first so your arms won't be so tired!

I really think this is the best course for you Paula Ann. You really really have to commit to it this time though. I know you can do it, you just have to believe and give it time, and especially throw the scale away for now.

I can do this now ...thanks for being there for me and getting me through the stressful times. You are a great Coach :)

[GirlyMuscle]

You love muscle, Paula. Go for it and let's really build some now! I'll be happy to help in anyway possible, whether it's here or privately.

and I am ready this time !!

[GirlyMuscle]

Have you decided what protocol you'll use? Considered Dave's off season plan?

[blu2xtreme]

Have you decided what protocol you'll use? Considered Dave's off season plan?

I have and plan on working my way to that ...it's a ton of food for me but I will get there.

Meal 1 today 2 eggs / 1/2 oatmeal ( I need to learn how to separate egg whites or get the kind in a carton :) )

I am very proud of you coming for making this decision:hmn:. You have a lot of people, including myself, who want to see you succeed.

Now go get more muscle:yep:!

[GirlyMuscle]

Walmart now has a store brand of egg whites that's pretty affordable....under $4 a carton. Try getting your meals together as written, sit down and eat as much as you can. You may have to force it at first but trust me. It's really not that much food. You'll get used to it.

[blu2xtreme]

I am very proud of you coming for making this decision:hmn:. You have a lot of people, including myself, who want to see you succeed.

Well slap me silly and call me Fred! I can't believe I am reading this! Whoohoo!!!! This is a great decision on your part! This will help you in so many ways :yep:

Now you may need to join a gym. Not having oly bars and plates will hold you back.

[GirlyMuscle]

I have to agree. If it's possible to fit a gym membership into your time/money situation, I think you should.

We need to train in Pitts. I promise you a fun time. :D

[blu2xtreme]

Budget is a little tighter now ...I will be doing some extra traveling so joining a gym is not possible.
Mike is helping me get the most of out of the apartment gym

Pam ...maybe Mike and I can workout with you on one of my trips out there. I would love your help.

[GirlyMuscle]

This is how I do it.

[Mac]

I make it even easier, I eat the whole egg.

[GirlyMuscle]

I can't. Being a girlie and all...too many cals. I do 2 eggs and 4 whites every morning.

respectable lifts:p

[gman]

I can't. Being a girlie and all...too many cals. I do 2 eggs and 4 whites every morning.

Since it's 1:30 and I only ate once today, I went ahead and had 6 fried eggs just now.

Still hungry

I think I am cheating and buying carton egg whites today:D

You do have a odd sense of fun ;)

[freebirdmac]

When you come to town you guys need to come to my gym. We can lift and then you and I can be the audience while Mike is on the stairmill. We can cheer/jeer his workout. Maybe sit there with a cool drink and yummy snacks :D

Hopefully it was an appetizer.

[gman]

it is the post workout meal, more or less, on the palumbo off season diet. She is supposed to have some waxy maize in it too. I think it's 40g whey and 25g waxy maize, not sure.

Close 30 g waxy maize ...I don't have any yet

meal - 3 - chicken 5 oz / 1/4 c. almonds ( needed to have brown rice - on the way to store to get some now )

[GirlyMuscle]

I believe 40g of whey is about a scoop and a half.

[gman]

should have told her 2 scoops, Erin, so she would put 1 1/2 in the cup! :p

[GirlyMuscle]

Two certainly wouldn't hurt. It's protein....on a bulk....

[blu2xtreme]

You know me to well ;)
I do have the habit of short changing my scoops :p

[GirlyMuscle]

LOL....and I make my scoops HEAPING scoops.

[blu2xtreme]

Erin ...what can I use in place of the waxi maize until I steal Mike's :D

[GirlyMuscle]

Ummmmm...Sledge?

[gman]

Mix the whey in gatorade

[GirlyMuscle]

Ewww.

Me, personally, I'd just eat a piece of fruit.

[Sledge]

Erin ...what can I use in place of the waxi maize until I steal Mike's :D

Dextrose. Cheap and in the grand scheme of things as good as WMS. Or even honey. YUM honey in a shake is good but makes the shakers harder to clean :).

[blu2xtreme]

Mix the whey in gatorade

You could of told me that before I went the store :)


Ewww.

I only have bananas and apple sauce :dunno:

Thanks Sledge :)

[Sledge]

Or instead of mixing the whey in Gatorade as suggested by Mike. You could just drink a shake and then a Gatorade.

[blu2xtreme]

Working my way up :)
meal 4 - 6oz salmon / green salad / mac. oil /vinegar

meal 5 - 1 1/2 scoop whey / 1 T pb

Running a little late - I still have to prep meals for work tomorrow
but I will get it done!

[gman]

Did you get all your meals fixed up for today Paula?

I'd say you had a pretty good first day on your bulk

[Sledge]

Meals for yesterday look good.


I'm hungry now.

[blu2xtreme]

Did you get all your meals fixed up for today Paula?

I was proud of myself :)

[tifflex]

Good job Paula!

[blu2xtreme]

Good job Paula!

Thanks Tiff :)

I did really good today ...I felt way to full all day but I got my food in at work

meal 1 - 1/2 cup oatmeal / 2 eggs / 3 egg whites

meal 5 - whey/ pb

So what cals and macros are you shooting for?

[Sledge]

Food looks awesome for today.

[blu2xtreme]

So what cals and macros are you shooting for?

I guess I should figure that out :dunno:

Erin had mentioned not to worry about macros or cals and just follow Dave's off season women's diet but I am curious just how much I am eating ...or maybe it's better that I don't know:D

Well given your history of undereating you need some idea. Erin probably assumes you're like most on a bulk, eating too much rather than too little.

[GirlyMuscle]

No, I'm not. I've been following her bulk for months/. I know she undereats all the time. I sent her Dave's off season plan. If he says a woman can build on it I believe him. I think if Blu figures out all the cals and macros it might freak her out and she'll start skipping foods again.

[blu2xtreme]

Well given your history of undereating you need some idea. Erin probably assumes you're like most on a bulk, eating too much rather than too little.

If I follow the plan I can't under eat ...I think:confused:
I did clue her in on my past issues with food

[GirlyMuscle]

And I can tell you that Dave's DIET is 1500 calories on the protein/fat days. So his off season plan is definitely higher.

[freebirdmac]

No, I'm not. I've been following her bulk for months/. I know she undereats all the time. I sent her Dave's off season plan. If he says a woman can build on it I believe him. I think if Blu figures out all the cals and macros it might freak her out and she'll start skipping foods again.

Ah, I see your reasoning. Good call.

[Sledge]

Hey Ms Blu. Did you take those pics? Front, side, rear Same room same lighting same clothes etc etc.

Jess might even do it for free! or you could use the new tripod you got for Christmas

[Sledge]

They are still good to have when blubulking. You may not like everything you see but if you can look at them from puerly muscle building perspective they can be quite handy to see changes in size of individual muscle groups as well as overall body shape changes if done once a month or so. But your right they are not as important as when your trying to loose fat and the scales are lying to you.

I suggest take a few pics wearing as little clothing as possible and send them to your coach so he can monitor your progress.

Hey I separated my egg whites tonight like a real bodybuilder :p

It is actually kind of fun ...yes my life is a little on the dull side at the moment ...it should get better soon.

[GirlyMuscle]

Typical man. LOL

I solve the problem pretty easily like MacTech, just eat the whole egg!

I had a friend in high school who made cupcakes and needed to separate egg whites to make them. He couldn't figure out how so he boiled the eggs first so it would be easier....true story

[blu2xtreme]

Egg whites aren't that important ;)


Eating my oats and eggs now

I miss eggs. Supposedly one could put a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide in eggs and counter the sulfur. Never felt like trying this for some reason :hypno:

I love complementing female body builders. Where else can you get away with telling a woman she's huge and lumpy or her legs look massive. I'm always telling GM how thick and dense she looks or that dress makes you look wide as a house.

You are doing great so far Paula Ann! You are going to be surprised how strong you are now that you are eating more. This bulk is goin to work great if you trust in yourself and lift heavy

Most of it is just water. No way you ate 31,500 calories over maintenance in two weeks. If you cleaned up to a calorie deficit you'd lose 5 in a week....all water.

But definitely from this point out you shouldn't put on more than about a pound a week.....occassionally, 2.



How old is your son?

My son turns 22 tomorrow ...second year he has been away from us because of his drug addiction. He is doing awesome now!!!

[freebirdmac]

Yep. Don't sweat the water gains.

This is one reason I keep my carbs in my diet. I don't have to deal with the large water weight gains. Even at 1450 cals I don't like being below 120g.

[GirlyMuscle]

My son is 22 in August. Gosh, he looks like a baby. I'm getting old. LOL
