Haha yeah it's funny to watch them flip out! They have put me on special heart monitors to make sure it was ok. I can't feel my heart beating unless I'm training or am completely still and feeling for a pulse! Lol
 
Good morning everyone! Had a super busy weekend and didn't get to get on here. I'll try to catch up on everyone's logs today! :) I successfully made about 150 cake pops and my castle cake! Whew am I tired!! lol

Did back this morning! Had an awesome workout! Hands are still shaking 2 hrs later! I'm gonna have to start carrying a note book or something though bc I have a hard time remembering what weight I did! I also forgot to start my hr tracker! Oops!

Another great workout Kat! I just can't get over the volume you put into your workouts. Keep up the hard work!
 
Holy cow, that volume again! Nice work on those meadows rows!!
 
Great sesh, Kat!!!!! Sooooo jelly!
 
Thanks guys! Really wanting a super sexy back! It definitely gets super sore but that's the fun right?! I remembered the meadows wasme and register! Yay! Gotta figure out my feet though- that's the oddest part! Funny thing was I had a guy work in with me using the vbar and only 5lbs more with both hands! :) He obviously doesn't lift very heavy though!

Doing cardio now- trying to break this stupid plateau I've hit again!!! UGH! Go away fat! You're not welcome!!
 
Good job on those Meadows rows. And we only ever count the weight (bar not included) so you were on the right track there!

Feet placement can be tricky and different for some. Just go with where you really feel that stretch in the lat.


Re: the guy that wasn't doing much weight. Not dissing you at all... but it is not always a bad thing if you are going lighter... We all get a little obsessed with numbers. I once heard the quote "your muscles don't know how much weight is on the bar - its all about form and time under tension" ... So whatever works best and actually can be way easier on joints and tendons.
 
Thanks wasme! Yes, I knew he wasn't doing much- that's what I meant is he could go heavier if I could do that little of weight! He's been lifting long enough! But I agree- it's not just about the weight!
 
Survived 45 mins on the stair climber! I forgot a ponytail holder too- let me tell you- I was pretty scary to look at! Hahahaha My sore glutes from Friday are really screaming now!

Awesome job, Kat!
 
Ok guys and gals, I'm about to start my c2k log and since I've hit yet another plateau, I'd like your suggestions on diet/macro changes. Today my calories were 1262, 142g protein, 106 carbs, and 33g fat.


I managed to bruise the palm of my hand somehow this morning! Lol Guess I was really into my workout! Haha

I think your calories are too low. You may have been causing metabolic damage which is potentially why you're plateauing. You're probably below your BMR. What's your current weight? How are you setting your cals?
 
I don't recall ever reading your total calories were at 1200.

Either way, they are way too low to cut, and they're way to low to bulk.

I wouldn't recommend 1200 cals for you on a rest day.

Just for a starting point, try IIFYM.com and see where they think your maintenance is.

I had them set around 1500. I didn't realize they were that low. I was just portioning out my food except for dinner- I just cook for the family and eat clean. I haven't logged for several weeks and finally did today- realizing they were that low. I am currently 138 and 18%. My typical day is as follows
4:30 am 1/2 scoop protein powder preworkout, 6:30am 1 scoop with 1/2 banana, 1/2c strawberries, 1 1/2 cup spinach, and 1 cup unsweetened almond milk post workout
9:45-10 5 oz chicken, 1/2c sweet potato, 3/4c zucchini
1:30 5oz tilapia, 1/2 c brown rice, 3/4c zucchini 4:00 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
6:30 5oz meat and 3/4 c veggie, occasionally rice or 25g carbs or less

IIFYM says maitnenance is 2100 ish if I remember right~1700 to cut.
 
Iifym using the bf % (most accurate) is about what you said, 1500/2050.

I would up your cals to 1700 and see how that works. It might take awhile for you to start to see weight loss again. Don't increase your cardio more to compensate or anything. Just put your cals to the right level and wait for progress. It could take awhile to fix the metabolic damage if you've been that low for awhile.

Ok I will try to figure out how to add the calories in or maybe just another meal...I have done this crap before- I get too focused cutting crap out- I'll get my calories waaaay too low! If I just remember that my estimated calories burned just training alone today was around 1100 calories- not counting normal busy life...that ls just dumb!! Thank you for your help! I just let the fat chick kick in here and there and try to starve myself skinny I guess! Can't keep any muscle that way either!
 
Lol, can you tell I can't sleep?!

Good morning! I packed an extra meal to try to get more calories into my diet today! I'm guessing that that's why I have been so incredibly exhausted!
