I nearly vomited today in the gym, which was fun. I was doing this Crossfit Workout called "Fight Gone Bad". I had some modifications so it ended up looking like this:

60 seconds, as many reps as you can of one movement, then go to the next movement, 60 seconds, etc. When you do all five, then you get a 1 minute break. Then you go back and do the circuit a second time. Then a third time.

Dips (body weight)
High Pulls (75#)
Leg Press (270#)
Military Press (65#)
T-Bar Rows (45#)
So I did two circuits of it and my heart was pounding, I was so pumped I couldn't touch my chest, and as I completed dips and went to high pulls, my body decided it would be more comfy on the ground. So I sat down, then went to my back, and just laid there for a bit...nauseated and all that. Great stuff.

The problem: my weights were too high. I wasn't able to do enough reps to get the workout to do what it's supposed to do, but it was still ridiculous.

I play basketball today...for the first time in almost a year. Dun dun dun. I predict a terribly sore right biceps, which always happens after I play b-ball for the first time in a long time. Probably sore groin, too. man11

^ I haven't ever thrown up from playing basketball. I threw up a few times during conditioning in football, but that was always b/c I wasn't in shape at the start of the season (JaMarcus Russell). This time, I thought I was in pretty good shape, but the workout was just ridiculous.

Incidentally, I'm getting over a sinus infection that has kept me out of the gym for the last week. I will return to working out either tomorrow or Thursday. I'm still having some trouble catching my breath sometimes.

Been really busy with school and work lately that I stopped working out. I was doing good. Lost about 23 lbs. Down to 177. I canceled my gym membership because I felt I was wasting my $ but i'm going to start working out on my own again. Maybe start running or playing some bball.

After being a pretty active peson my whole life(basketball, gym peridically, soccor, football(australian), cricket, etc) ive been totally shut down the last 6 months due to a hernia. Im pretty much over the operation now (had it 3 weeks ago, i delayed the operation because i was on holiday in canada) and i hit the treadmill tonight for the first time.

I. AM. DISGUSTED.

Im so unfit. I only ran a mile and a half befor i stopped. If i had of gutted it out i probly could have squeezed another mile out, but i was pretty beat after that mile and a half. I honestly thought ide be able to do better then that.

My calfs are going to be sore tomorrow thats for sure i can feel it already.

Should i just keep doing this distance to start with because thats where i feel i SHOULD run to... and wait till i slowly gain some of my fitness back, or just push myself till i vomit every night?

I'm in good shape. Today I was lazy though so I didn't go to the gym and I also have filming later on.

I run half a mile in 2 minutes and 42 seconds, which is amazing for a girl. If we wouldn't have our legs bent inwards, I'd go even faster. lol

Today I did biceps and triceps.
Biceps curls 3 sets of 12 reps, 8lbs
EZ Bar Curl 3 sets of 12 reps, empty bar(I think I’m the only fruitcake who uses an empty bar lol)
Barbell Preacher Curl 3 sets of 10 reps, 12lbs
Triceps Pull Downs 3 sets of 10 reps, 22lbs
I also used a machine for my triceps.
And 15 minutes of HIIT cardio, keeping the sprinting speed at 10 miles per hour and the recovery one at like 6mph.

Put another mile and a half on the treadmill last night despite my calfs screaming for me not to. It was somewhat easier, then the night befor. I didnt feel horrible at the end of it, and felt like i could have kept going. My calfs are REALLY sore today, and i might not run tonight. I want to though, we will see. Hopefully in a week or so I can get upto closer to 2.5 or 3 miles.

Still doing a mile and a half, getting quicker...

my ribs hurt :(... and my calfs... and my back... and my hips... hahahaha

Ive gone from doing the mile and a half the first night in 15 mins (slow i know, but i started off walking for fear of my hernia blowing up) and now I have it down to 10 minutes. Progress, but its a big effort...

^^toughen up Sama and eat that oatmeal man10

if you really must have something, just put in alittle regular sugar. Maybe you can eat it with a banana? Poor sopme milk in it? Cook it with milk instead of water?

I have no idea....I prefer cream of wheat jam2

i have been eating plain oatmeal for oh since christmas and since i dont eat it regularly aka every morning(usually just 2-3 times a week), its rather hard to just get used to it. Sometimes i eat it on the way to school and it gets a lil cold, that will set off you gag reflex...

My semester is slowly ending and with summer coming up I REALLY want to get back in shape. I'm about 5'10 160 as we speak. i want to hit the weights again and do a lot of cardio this summer. To those who lift weights how often do you hit the gym every week and can somebody please post their workout routines here. I just want to get an idea of what kind of things I should be doing and most importantly how many sets. I always have a tendency to do too many sets. I don't push myself with weights because I'm not trying to get big, just want to slim down a bit in the stomach area and get toned all around so I opt for weights that are probably at 60-70% the maximum i can lift. Is that too low?

Day 1 starts today. I'm off to the gym for a light work work with weights to get back into the flow. Good luck to everyone who's on a mission like me jam2
