how to burn 1500 calories a day

This is going to come across bitchy, but I don't care.

Recently at the store to pick up a card and some candy for Richard for Valentines day. The girl ringing me up decided to comment on some items I was buying (which I love when people do anyway). She picked up the Diet Chocolate Dr. Pepper and said, oh is this good? I wish I could learn to drink this instead of tons of chocolate milk. I love chocolate milk ( rambles on an on) I said I haven't tried it and it's not for me.

She then proceeded to analyze my candy choices. Holding one up saying oooo you are going to be jealous I just went to germany and brought a bunch of those back. I said, again those are not for me they are for...she kept talking didn't hear a word I said. Now what pissed me off the most is that I feel she was trying to relate to me, letting me know she's a candy eating chocolate milk guzzler like me. Mind you I just left the gym and did one of Sully's torture training sessions for a few hours. All I could think is "DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO ME!" I may not be stage ready but I'm no size 18 either, which clearly she was. Am I overly sensitive? yes, but I don't care.

Started my new plan today...

Sully sent me his new plan for me yesterday. It's  a plan to lean out so I am pretty happy about it. It's going to be a challenge but one I want to take. Three days low carb and one carb up meal, 7 days a week in the gym with 5 days of cardio. I am going to stay on this plan for at least 4 weeks and see what he wants me to do next. 

I bought a new pedometer since  I am obsessed with it! I love it so much, it tells you exactly how many cardio minutes you are doing.

I'll do a more interesting update tomorrow...

Now here is a snippet if you are too lazy to click the link. Tom Venuto wrote the article.

I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on your goals and how you are going to achieve them, all day long, you will reach your goals so fast this year, it will make your head spin.

I PREDICT that if you focus your thoughts on health woes and body fat problems and if you think about what you don't want, all day long, your problems will get worse than ever this year.

I PREDICT that if you accept complete responsibility for the way your body looks today and you believe that you have the power to change, that you will take action and keep taking action, even through the tough times.

Why can't you?

Death of pedometer

I loved it. I loved it so much I washed it and 2 days after buying it I killed it. So I had to buy another one. Losing weight this week not as fast as I would like though going to kick it in harder for a while. Until Sully changes my plan again in 4 weeks or so. Here is an example baseline day for me. I plan to track on fitday again and track calories more closely.

Gold's Gym Weight Loss Challenge

Begins today. I weighed in and looking forward to seeing myself WIN! So far there are around 8 people in it and people have all week to sign up.

I should also get my Amazon goodies today! I will report back soon once I have them.

Baseline

Starting baseline early with a little help from VENOM. Issues with insomnia lately so I figured venom can't make it much worse. I go through cycles of it.

Sully's baseline isn't a weight loss plan it's just to regulate your system before you start more extreme contest prep. I already know I will lose weight though just not a ton on this plan. I will move on to a fat loss plan next.

Cleanse Day 3

So the perfect weight loss challenge just fell into my lap! One at the gym. 40 dollars, 8 weeks you weigh in with a trainer 3 times. You never meet the people in the challenge. You just weigh in. No pressure, no heckling, no BS. I hope a lot of people get in. I know I can win. Very exciting for sure!

Cardio this AM, I may go back again tonight. I had no sleep I think Frye is doing this to me. I took it today but I will not take it tomorrow.

Look what I bought!

Look what I am going to carry my meals in!

And this is going to track my calories and steps!

I hate this time of year at the gym, it's resolution time and the gyms are packed. The AM is not bad but the evening is ridiculous! I know it will die down soon enough but it's annoying right now. But let this be my biggest problem.

I took Frye again today. I like it. I believe I am going to continue taking it on and off for a while. It doesn't make me nuts like a lot of products tend to do.

New Year

Last year today I was going to the emergency room with totally numb legs. What a difference a year makes.... Today I am

Back -- Row/Lat Pulldown 3 sets of 12
Chest -- Fly/Press 3 sets of 12
Delts -- Lateral Raise/Delt Press 3 sets of 12
Biceps -- DB Curl/Freemotion 3 sets of 12
Triceps -- Tricep Ext/Tricep Machine 3 sets of 12

Cardio as long as I can take it.

FRYE, seems to be ok, but I believe I am going to go back to venom on and off for a while. Especially this week while FINALLY doing sully's cleanse!
