Hill sprints. I’m a lazy ass on cardio. Rarely do it. If posting food logs helps you progress toward your goal, post away!
foodposting:
lunch: omelet with cheese, piece of smoked salmon, avocado with crab salad, melon
dinner: meatballs with tomato sauce, salad, inside of shrimp tacos (shrimp and avocado), egg, coffee with milk

Lunch sounds fn good!
gym was closed, so for workout #2 of the day I improvised.
Went out to the football field and carried the tackling dummy around for a while, up the stairs and bleachers.
Best internet estimates say these are 95 lbs.
Boo that your meet got canceled. I can tolerate food posting. I dabble in it myself. This is a hilarious imorov workout! I love it.
very creative!
you make college sound fun!

high-five for improvising. that is some good stuff!
That is very disappointing about the meet cancellation. However, you seem to have not skipped a beat in moving on to another goal. Good for you!
I’m always interested to hear about food. Especially the correlation between nutrition and strength gain or loss.
yeah, it was fun. This is all going to be so different (two workouts a day, and none of them classic “big three” strength workouts) that I’m really curious to see how it turns out. Weight loss is my nemesis, but then again I’ve never focused on it totally, so this should be a cool experiment. Today is circuits and stairs.
morning wt. 143. I still weigh more than my dad.
aww sorry to read about the meet getting cancelled. bummer.
awesome dummy carries!
shit, sorry Alisa, i totally missed the part about meet being canceled.
Workout #1:
2x
{
Push press, 10@75
lunges, 15@115 each leg
pullup, 10
side plank, 25 s each side
medicine ball rollouts, 15
}
1x
{
bent-over row, 10@85
stiff-legged deadlift, 6@175
jumping lunges, 15 each leg
bulgarian split squat, 10 each leg @30’s
}
3x
{
stepups, 12@35’s each side
dips on bench, 10
jumping jacks, 15
superman, 30 s.
}
Notes:
-
Rest periods are prescribed and short; I just didn’t write them in here. (They vary per exercise.)
-
115 was probably too much weight for the lunges – I was skimping on depth and felt like dying even so.
-
35’s were probably too light for the stepups – didn’t feel quite enough like death.
-
I have no clue how to do Bulgarian split squats correctly. They just feel like weird-ass curtsies.
-
This is Romaniello’s idea of a weights workout. Seriously. There’s no prescribed day for heavy lifting – I mean, he SAYS to lift heavy on circuit days like these, but in practice that’s limited by the high reps and low rest periods. I’ll Trust the System, but may beets grow in his belly if after six weeks of this nonsense all my lifts have gone to hell.
-
An old guy said to me “Where did you come up with your workout?” I said, “Off the internet.” He said, “Well, I noticed you do all the good old-fashioned exercises. There’s nothing new under the sun.” I like that.
-
I can’t do 10 pullups yet: I did 7/3 and 5/5. (This is my first time doing 7 in a row.) One thing to look forward to when I lose the weight: MOAR PULLUPS.
Workout #2:
10 minutes running up & down stairs (2x12 flights) in lieu of the prescribed jump rope, because I haven’t got a jump rope.
It was actually supposed to be 20 minutes, but I couldn’t do it for that long. I’ll have to work up to that.
Alisa, that Workout #1 sounds like a really hard training. Wow.
I have a jump rope, but I SUCK at jump rope. I trip over the rope often.
Sorry, I’m late to the party. Sucks about your meet.
Looking lovely in red, I must say. To my very useless untrained eye, you have a very balanced physique and if that’s you ~143lbs, you carry it very well.
thanks skye!

I don’t intend to stay this low; it’s because they don’t serve breakfast on weekends (and not eating is more convenient than going out and buying food.) My official upper bound is 1770 kcal.
Are you rethinking strategies then?
FWIW, I don’t see where you need to lose ‘fat.’ This plan is pretty extreme, and I agree about your lifts that you’ve worked so hard for!!
No, I want to do this. Sick of squishiness. Want to know what would happen if I actually focused on it for a while.
I’ve been six weeks without weights at all and bounced back pretty quickly, so I’m not super worried.
Basically, I’ve been self-conscious about my body, to greater and lesser degrees, probably since puberty. I’d like to see if, for once in my life, I could get to a point where there were no worries about being too fat.
