In my opinion, if your upper body routine is becoming effortless it's time to either increase the weights or change it up! :)

That's why I went back and did arms again on Saturday with more weight. I always do my arms routine with different exercises and/or different combinations, but I used to use 5 pound weights. I've switched to 8 pound weights and I actually felt it the next day.

My workout buddy took some convincing... I have been telling her for over a week that we needed to bump up the weight but she kept saying she didn't want "man arms". Finally on Friday night I reminded her that when we started working out in November, our arms were big and flabby. We could only make it through a class with 3 pound weights. Now, our arms are smaller, but the 5 pound weights are easy. That's because we are stronger. So on saturday she did the 8 pound weights with me. I don't know why I didn't switch earlier! LOL, and although she agreed to do 8 pound weights, she said she is NEVER switching to 10's! LOL! Maybe everything I said was in one ear and out the other and she only switched so I would shut up!
 
Sounds great! Enjoy your posts!
 
Haha, well, I've been lifting heavy weights for years and I've never gotten "man arms" :) (I hope they're not man arms anyway :( ) That's funny and a typical worry for women though I know. We, as women, have to eat tons and take some pretty serious supplements to get the same muscle mass that men have though.

I know, but how do I convince my workout buddies of that? Perhaps I will just adjust my own routine to my body and leave them in the dust. They'll believe me when I can wear a bikini this summer and they can't/won't, LOL! :cool:

03/28/06 - I weighed in this morning at 128.

03/29/06 - I just had to weigh myself... I know it's bad to weigh yourself everyday, but since my goal deadline is saturday I think it will help me to stay focused. Anyway, I weighed in this morning at 127! I don't know what in the world is going on, I couldn't lose for so long and now it's just melting off. Well, I do know. It's gotta be the new awesome diet. I feel so great and I don't even have cravings for sweets anymore. It's like I was addicted to sugar and now it's out of my system. Did 20 minutes on the elliptical (3200 revs), then abs, then 10 minutes on the treadmill (brisk pace) while doing bicep curls and hammer curls. 9am 1 c. Kashi and 1 c. soy milk; 11am (leftovers from yesterday) a fist sized portion of baked tilapia and 2 c. boiled corn; 2pm a peeled & sliced cucumber, and a can of chicken (just like canned tuna) with a bit of pepper and 2 c. water; 6pm 2 c. lite soy milk; 7pm an 8 oz sirloin and 1 c. corn; 8:30 an apple and 2 tbsp. natty pb; 10pm 2 c. water.

03/30/06 - Weighed in at 126.5. :) Couldn't make it to the gym today... as I was about to go my husband called and said he was coming home from work because he couldn't keep anything down, so I took care of him all day. I did my abs routine in the evening. 9:30 1/2 a serving of oatmeal (ran out) with 1/2 a packet of splenda and 1 tbsp. natty pb; 11:30 2 c. Bolthouse Farms Perfectly Protein Vanilla Chai; 3pm 3 slices of fat free turkey and 1 oz cheddar cheese on 2 slices sara lee delightfully lite multigrain bread, 1/2 c. grapes, and 2 c. water; 6pm a banana; 8pm a pria bar and 2 c. water; 10pm 2 c. water; 2am 1 c. water.

04/01/06 - Goal Day! I weighed in at 126 pounds. I guess those 4 bites of cake didn't help, lol! That puts me at 1 pound over my goal. I am bummed that I didn't hit my goal, but I guess it'll have to do. I went to take progress pics and found that my camera is on the fritz, so by the time payday rolls around and I get it serviced I will have met the goal anyway, lol. My trainer said we should check my bf% every 10 weeks, so that means he won't check it until about 04/21. My goal for 05/01 is 120 pounds.

10am 1 c. kashi and 1 c. lite soy milk; 1pm 2 tbsp. natty pb; 2pm 1/4 smoked chicken, 1/4 c. smoked potatoes, 2 c. water; 7pm a palm sized serving of grilled mahi-mahi, 2 c. salad with 1 tbsp. ranch, 2 white dinner rolls, and shared a brownie with hubby for dessert but didn't finish... ate about a 1/2 a palm sized serving of brownie. It's our "half-iversary" dinner, and obviously it turned into a cheat meal. 10pm til about 5am or so- 4 appletini's, a peachtini, and 3 bud selects. :eek:

Ah ;) so the extra pounds you gained was just water weight. I'm glad you came back down, I know that's always encouraging. I'm afraid to weigh myself so I think I'm going to wait another week or two. Keep up the good work.

Angelique I know you added up your calories that one day and it was 967, did you do any other days? I think you should, maybe calculate for a week. You might be on the low side. Disappointed with the sugar cookies, mainly because thats all you ate, and it was only three.
 
I know, it's awful! I threw them out (when the boys weren't looking). I am such a sugar addict. I added up a couple of days, and have been meaning to do more. I'll post that info soon.

I just had it checked again, and I am at 17.8% and am 127 pounds (so that's 22.606 pounds of fat, 104.394 pounds of lean mass). The trainer said that's a 3.6% reduction in body fat in 10 weeks, and that's phenomenal. I told him that I was shooting for 16-17% by now, he said that would be near impossible, and he was impressed with my numbers. He said I should be happy with my results. So I guess I should be happy, lol. I'm also going to take his advice and revise my goals. My end-term goal is still 120 or so, but according to the trainer it will take several months to accomplish. he said just ignore the scale for now, check every week or 2 but don't worry about it.

oh no! AngelKae!!

You're diet looks like what I just got done fixing about my eating.

this is not good. um, you are totally not getting enough veggies. And way too much sugary foods. If you could do those two things. I bet you would start to feel alot better on top of getting closer to your goal. If you keep doing this every day, you aren't going to get much of anywhere.

Just take it one step at a time tho and try to have at least 2 or 3 of each food group when you eat and do that every 3 to 4 hours or every two hours if you work out considerably .

Thanks for your reply on my diary ! I know it was so crazy that machine was trying to make me purchase its goods!!

lol, how long have you been lifting those particular weights on the machines you listed? Just curious b/c you might wanna think about upping about 5 lbs on each machine when it becomes easy for you. Unless you wanted to keep the upper body muscles smaller I understand.

Well, I will quit takin' up your space here ! bye now ! ;)

We'll see in a week or so how well I do with that.
