Hey Lee!!! I am going to ROCK it today - what YOU got???

  BRING IT!!!!!!

Workout B for me today - don't like that one too much - it's got stuff that I am used to doing.  BUT - the deadlift in there is the ONLY one I have been able to do without hurting myself.  I am REALLY impressed by just that!  I am going to sneak in a couple sets of calf work and some cardio at the end - just cause - I will be working out this afternoon while Babygirl is at her guitar lesson - so that means I can get to the gym AFTER the kids area is closed, meaning hardly ANYONE will be there - YIPEE!!!!!

So what are YOU doing today?  and how's your eating going?  are you following the plan out of the book or doing your own thing?

ETA:  This is for errybody else too - I just like messin with Lee!  LOL  Get cha butts up and MOVE something!!!!!!!

I have told you about calling my girl out!

I'm not doing a damn thing..working 12 hrs at the 2nd gig and meeting friends for drinks and dinner afterwards

LMAO!!  Shoot - me, Lee and Max got this workout thang on and poppin!  I ain't all buff like them, but I put my work down faithfully - so I earned my 'call em out' card!  LOL

And umm - keep them drinks down to a minimum and don't eat your WHOLE entire ASS off, hear??  LOL!!!! 

Don't worry. My band has restriciton like never before. I couldn't over do it even if I wanted to.  And I'm a lightweight.  One glass of wine and I'll be done, plus I've got to be up early again for work tomorrow.

I finally finished the book last nite, and the diet is kind of like Jillian Micheals except Jillian's is more comprehensive with a full months menu and recipes.   The book pretty much just gives you the calorie formula, (BMR RMR) 2 sample eating days and a bunch of recipes.  
I don't like the amount of carbs they have you eating in a day, it is over 100 carbs per day in thoe 1700 and 2000 calorie sample days, and I know my body does not lose with that many carbs. 

I have tried the humus with bell pepper but I put a little burn on my bellpepper, and I had the speghetti squash with the meat sauce which was really good.  

Workout B:  Deadlifts, Shoulder press, wide grip lat pulldowns, lunge, swiss ball cruunch. 
you are to do two sets of 15 reps, with such few sets you better be using heavy enough weights if you want to see any muscle growth.

One thing that I don't do which the book and the X says I should is the recovery drink after a workout.  I can't stand drinking protein after I workout but the recover drink in the book looks good, cause the fruit will hide the taste of the protein.

I see this book working to help women tone, if you don't want big muscles. 

you are exactly right!!!  Not looking for big muscles - I like the lean look.  For Workout B I use:

Deadlift - 60lb bar
Shoulder press - 15lb barbells
Lat pulldowns - 70lbs
lunge - 15lb barbells
ball crunch - 10lb disc weight

Those 2 sets of 15 ain't no punk for me!  It's only my first week - so my body is doing the WTF???!!!  LOL. 

I am hoping to increase my weight on these mid to late next week.  I found an after workout drink - it's fruit punch flavored, got 32g of protein, I drink half after the workout.  It does help me not feel quite so tired afterward. 

Your first week heck yeah your going to be sore, you would with any workout.  But doesn't that soreness feel good.  I love it cause it makes me feel like my muscles are torn to **** and will grow nice and big.

How many carbs are in your fruit punch protein?  I do see the need of drinking it after the workout, I just can't find anything I like.   I like the book's recipe for the ater workout drink but i'm trying to keep my carbs below 70 a day and that would take a big chunk out of that.

Actually I DO get a kick out of being sore.  It lets me know I DID something......

i am using a Mass recovery drink by ABB - it's got 60g of what they call 'stacked' carbs.  It's made specifically for after workout to get your muscles back on track.  I only drink half of it tho

For your workout days - you should increase your carb load, I think - you don't want to starve your body and as hard as you work - you need to give your body a lil extra on those days so that it can recover and rebuild. 

I start drinking my protein right after my weight training and during my cardio.  But my cardio is running.  Also a tip to eat a pear or an apple immediately following your workout....if you can tolerate the sugar.  Helps keep your energy up so you don't  bottom out.  

right now I am saying screw the cardio - hate that ****!!!  LOL plus it's hard to get an open machine at the gym right now.  I do notice a difference drinking the protein right after the workout - and since I workout in the evneings, I am eating dinner within 45min to 1hr after my workout - I may do the fruit thing today since I am working out in the afternoon tho - thanks for the tip!
