Trusylver's Maintenance and Training Log

Sorry to hear you're feeling tired -- I hope the dietician is helpful. I didn't know you were coeliac. I am not diagnosed, but I went gluten-free about 18 months ago when I had some digestive trouble that the dr couldn't cure. I feel much better.
 
good to see ya back MJ

today it is fucking hot and humid outside, not exactly unexpected as I do live in the sub tropics but it does make exercise rather uncomfortable. Have completed 300 squats this morning and will do the rest when it cools down a bit tonight.
 
finished of my squats for the day bringing my challenge totoal to 1530. I had a mini binge today, I ate 2 icy pole ice creams but still under calories, I realy need to eat more in general unless the nutritionist says otherwise on thursday. I won't be doing any squats tomorrow so that my legs are fresh for heavy squat day on tuesday.
 
GUESS WHAT. I did 120 squats today. Ummm, yeah. NEVER doing that again before cardio! lol :) I wish MY mini binges kept me under cals :rolleyes:
 
Well done Jess :)

the secret to getting in so many squats is to do comfortable sets throughout the day between doing other things, eg if I have something in the microwave I can do a set of 50 - 100 while I am waiting. When I am running a bath is another good time to fit a few in.

Ah ha! When I have something in the microwave, I ....stand in front of the microwave. Somehow, I think your use of time is more productive.;)

Keep up the good work Tru!
 
I know I said i wasn't going to squat today but I decided to check out how I was going with pistol squats, I have posted in the challenge thread to see how they should be counted in the challenge or even if I should include them at all but I have done 2 sets of 10 for each leg.

If it weren't for all the ridiculously hard work I know you're doing, cracking the proverbial whip at those muscles.... well, I would be really really jealous of you and those calories... :)
 
Well a quick peak at the scales this morning shows me back under my weight division limit and I have my nutritionist apointment tomorrow. Rest day today so will only be going to the gym for work and not heavy lifting but will still get my squats in for the day.

I have chicken breast in the microwave to thaw out and completed another 200 squats while waiting. 3253 challenge total

Squat queen lol, at the gym I have been dubbed the tricep queen by the other trainers lol two areas that I have trouble finding clothes to fit.

Despite my waist fitting size 14 trousers (US Size 10) trousers that size generally won't fit over my quads depending on the cut and it is not till I get up to about a size 20 that trousers are loose on my quads. I don't carry much fat on my legs as I can flex and see some muscle definition. The same happens for my arms, I don't look muscle bound lol but my triceps give me a larger arm size and again if I flex i can see a little definition showing under the fat.

Most of my fat is carried around the middle and I have more than I am happy with on my back when I look at my my BF% readings from the sub scapula site, although it doesn't show and carries ok.
 
Todays squats so far was another 600 with vest and 20 with 12 year old son clinging to my back bringing the chalenge total to 3873.

The heat today has been sweltering and I could not have brought myself to do cardio (other than squats) today even if it wasn't a rest day.

I am still 600 calories short of my target calories and it is 5:30 pm and so hot I don't want to eat, I will go and cook some mullet and try to eat enough calories but I have added incentive now to make sure my calories are spot on. My DH has now been covinced to track his calories for a while and he was surprised at how much sugar and fat was in his diet and the amount of calories he actually eats. He rekons that If he has to fix his diet I have to start eating enough to hit target more often. Despite being a perfect BMI weight he is actually fat, especially when you take his slight build into account and this was confirmed with his BF% measurements yesterday.
