* Eliptical -- 20 minutes jogging ( I usually warm up with the eliptical since it's my fav! )
* Abs -- 3 sets of 50 reps on the medicine ball
* V-Up -- 3 sets of 15 reps nice and slow
* Dumbbell reverse lunges -- 3 sets of 15 reps (( 15 Ibs ))
* Machine Leg Extention -- 3 sets of 12 reps (( 50 Ibs ))
* Inner/Outer thighs on machine -- 3 sets of 15 reps (( 50 Ibs ))

Overall awesome work out! It's so hot right now energy was 9 out of 10 the heat was killing me! But I was definitely motivated and I hit the weights pretty good! Tomorrow is an off day because my fiance and I are going to the Del Mar Fair! Will post pictures tonight that way I have before and after pictures and can keep track of that! Thanks guys! Let me know if anyone has any good recipes to try out!
Weight is still the same but it's only been 4 days since I've taken it! I am sure good things are going to come from this! My appetite is the same but I am not eating out and will be cooking more often so it should be easy to drop the weight!

You sound like a good person bro, and quite the open dude from what we talked about on PMs, I don't see how someone like you could think about being a forever alone guy , you got a good girl here for the looks of it brother, always make her happy and dont ever let her regret the fact she chose you for sharing the rest of her life with you...Trust me, some of us wish we had a chance of not having "one that got away"...


As for the workout notes Ms. Natasha Trankenstein , WHY PINK!!! X_X! But over all, pretty good detail, good idea for the pics, and quite nice level of input and thoughts on the stack. Now keep at it and remember key to every workout program is PROGRESSION , strive for more, take no prisoners! I mean...Make no cheating mistakes! and always stay hungry for more reps >:3!!! ^.^

Hahaha no share your thoughts bro you are absolutely right! We both feel the same way about each other. I'll say this and she knows! I'm blunt and I speak my mind but I also tell it like it is! If I had never met her straight up.. I would of stayed single or just been the player that went around sleeping with Pornstars, doing Crystal Meth starting relationships but having them end disastrous! I had my share of fun! But having something forever is truly hard to find! But once you find that right person that you can share the rest of your life with! That person that you spend every single second with without blowing up or going crazy.. I mean it's great! It's more than that! It's what life is all about! I love being on my own! But then I see all my high school friends getting married and having kids.. and someday I want kids! When the time is right of course! Hahaha anywho I'm done talking! Good work out babe! Keep it up!

Arm day Saturday, June 16th

* Elipticals -- 20 minute jog
* Seated Triceps Extension -- 3 sets of 12 (( 5 Ibs ))
* Hammer Curls with DB -- 3 sets of 10 (( 15 Ibs ))
* Cable Triceps Pushdown -- 3 sets of 15 reps (( 40 Ibs ))
* Standing Barbell Curls -- 3 sets of 12 (( 60 Ibs ))

Energy: 9/10 Working at the Animal Medical Center is great but waking up at 4 in the morning to get ready is not! And it takes my body a while to get comfortable before I fall asleep.
Appetite: 8/10 Appetite is still the same! I am taking both caps in the morning after I wake up.
Mood: 8/10 Mood is the same I feel like it might be kicking in because the sense of well being is there throughout the day! Will figure out if this is going to be effective in the days coming up!

My fiance will hopefully be kind enough to take pictures of before and after and I will hopefully upload the photos tonight!!! Yay! ;0)

 

[CaptHowdy5150]

I feel your pain. I get up at four a few days a week, so I can make it into the gym before clocking in at six. I'm exhausted by the end of the week. What do you do at the Animal Medical Center? Sorry if that was already mentioned.

I apologise for this. As Aaron has observed I don't appear in many logs. I spend so much time browsing all of the PES threads it has cut my time down on logs.

On a more important note, speedos for the win.

That's cool. I'm definitely an person. My wife makes fun of me about it. If it were up to her, the dog would live outside on the back porch and definitely would not have a bed next ours, lol.

I'm not a pet person. I love animals and the zoo. We are patrons of the Omaha Zoo, but I just don't like having to take care of them myself. We like to go to the Zoo 5-6 times a year and then when we go on trips we try to hit those Zoo's as well. We are huge Aquarium lovers! I've been to all the large aquariums in the USA and a couple overseas! I can spend hours at the Aquariums.

 

[Force of Green]

Dan, you doing good? Are you doing ok? It's good to see you over here on the forums... Especially after everything that happened a short while ago. I honestly sincerely HOPE that things are good and will remain on course.

That is one hell of a workout, and those cable crossovers WOW , that is one strong girl for doing 30 lbs on each cable!! :O!!! Amazed! Keep it up tashy and congrats on the 2 lbs lost ! Just be careful with you diet, try to keep your essential macronutrients in and just deduct from carbs to create bigger caloric deficit, take it slow! if not you will notice muscle loss, true you will get faster weight loss, but its better to go smooth and slow and to keep/maintain as much Lean Body Mass as possible!!

Keep it up girl! Awesome numbers and dedication ! Even though they come in pink!

Nice job bro! Baby this is a good read as well:

Macronutrients: the Importance of Carbohydrate, Protein, and Fat

WHAT ARE MACRONUTRIENTS?
Macronutrients are nutrients that provide calories or energy. Nutrients are substances needed for growth, metabolism, and for other body functions. Since “macro” means large, macronutrients are nutrients needed in large amounts. There are three macronutrients:

Carbohydrate
Protein
Fat
While each of these macronutrients provides calories, the amount of calories that each one provides varies.

Carbohydrate provides 4 calories per gram.
Protein provides 4 calories per gram.
Fat provides 9 calories per gram.

This means that if you looked at the Nutrition Facts label of a product and it said 12 grams of carbohydrate, 0 grams of fat, and 0 grams of protein per serving, you would know that this food has about 48 calories per serving (12 grams carbohydrate multiplied by 4 calories for each gram of carbohydrate = 48 calories).

Besides carbohydrate, protein, and fat the only other substance that provides calories is alcohol. Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram. Alcohol, however, is not a macronutrient because we do not need it for survival.

WHY DO WE NEED CARBOHYDRATES TO SURVIVE?
Carbohydrates are the macronutrient that we need in the largest amounts. According to the Dietary Reference Intakes published by the USDA, 45% - 65% of calories should come from carbohydrate. We need this amount of carbohydrate because:

Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of fuel.
Carbohydrates are easily used by the body for energy.
All of the tissues and cells in our body can use glucose for energy.
Carbohydrates are needed for the central nervous system, the kidneys, the brain, the muscles (including the heart) to function properly.
Carbohydrates can be stored in the muscles and liver and later used for energy.
Carbohydrates are important in intestinal health and waste elimination.
Carbohydrates are mainly found in starchy foods (like grain and potatoes), fruits, milk, and yogurt. Other foods like vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds and cottage cheese contain carbohydrates, but in lesser amounts.
Fiber refers to certain types of carbohydrates that our body cannot digest. These carbohydrates pass through the intestinal tract intact and help to move waste out of the body. Diets that are low in fiber have been shown to cause problems such as constipation and hemorrhoids and to increase the risk for certain types of cancers such as colon cancer. Diets high in fiber; however, have been shown to decrease risks for heart disease, obesity, and they help lower cholesterol. Foods high in fiber include fruits, vegetables, and whole grain products.

WHY DO WE NEED PROTEIN TO SURVIVE?
According to the Dietary Reference Intakes published by the USDA 10% - 35% of calories should come from protein. Most Americans get plenty of protein, and easily meet this need by consuming a balanced diet. We need protein for:

Growth (especially important for children, teens, and pregnant women)
Tissue repair
Immune function
Making essential hormones and enzymes
Energy when carbohydrate is not available
Preserving lean muscle mass
Protein is found in meats, poultry, fish, meat substitutes, cheese, milk, nuts, legumes, and in smaller quantities in starchy foods and vegetables.

When we eat these types of foods, our body breaks down the protein that they contain into amino acids (the building blocks of proteins). Some amino acids are essential which means that we need to get them from our diet, and others are nonessential which means that our body can make them. Protein that comes from animal sources contains all of the essential amino acids that we need. Plant sources of protein, on the other hand, do not contain all of the essential amino acids.

WHY DO WE NEED FAT TO SURVIVE?
Although fats have received a bad reputation for causing weight gain, some fat is essential for survival. According to the Dietary Reference Intakes published by the USDA 20% - 35% of calories should come from fat. We need this amount of fat for:

Normal growth and development
Energy (fat is the most concentrated source of energy)
Absorbing certain vitamins ( like vitamins A, D, E, K, and carotenoids)
Providing cushioning for the organs
Maintaining cell membranes
Providing taste, consistency, and stability to foods
Fat is found in meat, poultry, nuts, milk products, butters and margarines, oils, lard, fish, grain products and salad dressings. There are three main types of fat, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, and trans fat. Saturated fat (found in foods like meat, butter, lard, and cream) and trans fat (found in baked goods, snack foods, fried foods, and margarines) have been shown to increase your risk for heart disease. Replacing saturated and trans fat in your diet with unsaturated fat (found in foods like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and canola oil) has been shown decrease the risk of developing heart disease.

A NOTE ON MICRONUTRIENTS
Although macronutrients are very important they are not the only things that we need for survival. Our bodies also need water (6-8 glasses a day) and micronutrients. Micronutrients are nutrients that our bodies need in smaller amounts, and include vitamins and minerals. (See the Vitamins and Minerals handout for more information).

Nice numbers baby keep it intense! Good job!

Do the two of you regularly work out together. My wife always says she will, but we can't seem to get on the same schedule.

Thank you..... and Thank you for the advice, any advice is great ;0) I am pretty strong, not going to lie.... I may be small but I'm a ninja at night ha ha I try my best, I like my results and over all shape and form of who I am and what I look like. I still get my insecurities but we all do I think. Sorry about the pink! Lol

 

[tashygirl]

Do the two of you regularly work out together. My wife always says she will, but we can't seem to get on the same schedule.

For the most part yeah we do, we started off at home together buying all the weights and medicine ball and all these fun little toys and punching bags and I have the shake weight and then we found that we actually push each other to do better so yeah we try to work out together all the time, plus at the gym we like the steam rooms and jacuzzi and stuff ;0) Thats always fun to do together...... you 2 should def try to figure something out even if it's just for a half an hour, it's a better way to bond I think.... any kind of endurance activity is good in relationships. We play basketball together like 3-4 times a week and when it's not hot we hike so? Good luck man!

Energy (fat is the most concentrated source of energy)
Absorbing certain vitamins ( like vitamins A, D, E, K, and carotenoids)
Providing cushioning for the organs
Maintaining cell membranes
Providing taste, consistency, and stability to foods
Fat is found in meat, poultry, nuts, milk products, butters and margarines, oils, lard, fish, grain products and salad dressings. There are three main types of fat, saturated fat, unsaturated fat, and trans fat. Saturated fat (found in foods like meat, butter, lard, and cream) and trans fat (found in baked goods, snack foods, fried foods, and margarines) have been shown to increase your risk for heart disease. Replacing saturated and trans fat in your diet with unsaturated fat (found in foods like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and canola oil) has been shown decrease the risk of developing heart disease.

A NOTE ON MICRONUTRIENTS
Although macronutrients are very important they are not the only things that we need for survival. Our bodies also need water (6-8 glasses a day) and micronutrients. Micronutrients are nutrients that our bodies need in smaller amounts, and include vitamins and minerals. (See the Vitamins and Minerals handout for more information).

Hahaha no share your thoughts bro you are absolutely right! We both feel the same way about each other. I'll say this and she knows! I'm blunt and I speak my mind but I also tell it like it is! If I had never met her straight up.. I would of stayed single or just been the player that went around sleeping with Pornstars, doing Crystal Meth starting relationships but having them end disastrous! I had my share of fun! But having something forever is truly hard to find! But once you find that right person that you can share the rest of your life with! That person that you spend every single second with without blowing up or going crazy.. I mean it's great! It's more than that! It's what life is all about! I love being on my own! But then I see all my high school friends getting married and having kids.. and someday I want kids! When the time is right of course! Hahaha anywho I'm done talking! Good work out babe! Keep it up!

Dan, I must say that for someone who was doing a lot of crank for such a long time (yes, I got your message asking if I still can get amphetamine Rx), you've got a TON of intense energy and euphoria.

I don't need to justify that I thought it was cool to have another female logging a product, so I read through it and such. Then I see my ole buddy Dan. I connected the dots to the time of your join dates, to a bizarre email I got at the same time frame with a very disturbing picture of you, to another email asking for amphetamines, to your very ecstatic resurgence... While I'm sure a product was sent out and there is a girl named 'Tashygirl' using the product, but the reincarnations of you popping up and claiming that you're clean and quoting the Bible like you're the next prophet isn't a good look.

I don't really use that word 'troll', but as far as trolling... having a female in a BBing forum is like dropping a piece of rib-eye in a shark tank. It's not really that difficult to miss.

As far as someone who was hooked on the stuff, I honestly really do hope you break free from crank and stop coming out of the gate with a false sense of elation, euphoria, and depersonalization, while pawning off how you got clean and sober while at the same time are asking me for sources for illicit narcotics and scheduled substances.
