Sunday December 16th
I though today would be a total waste since I got SNOWED IN and had to miss bootcamp!!! (the horror)... But it turned out pretty well diet and excercise wise.
The Workout *40 min TurboJam Weights using 7lbs weights *20 min TurboJam Cardio *1 hour shoveling snow lol
I decided to add the shoveling cause I did this right after my workout and was totally exhausted from it all. Damn snow drifts *fist* And for all I know it could have taken more then 1 hour. Totally feel all this in my back right now. Possibly interested in investing in a snow blower.... stupid driveway is too long.
The Diet (so far as its only 9pm)
Meal 1: milk and Post Honey Nut cereal (its whole grain) -- and i'm down to less the 1 scoop of protein hence i missed my shake
Meal 2: one steak fajita, one chicken fajita (post workout)
OKAY PEOPLE enough is enough! There will be no more notes pertaining to HOT BEEF, INJECTIONS, or MAKING LOVE...or anything else! Concentrate on my workouts and excercise people! And my IsoXP present of course :)
The Workout * 1/2hr + of lifting cement block like snow coutresy of the city (and I helped my retired neighbour, i deserve a medal) * 1hr Cardip Pump and Crunch (So difficult to do today, totally was lacking energy but I kept at it)
The Diet
Meal 1: 2 eggs, 1 slice WW texas toast
Meal 2: timmys sandwich (TBC on WW with honey mustard)
Meal 3: apple, cheesestring, ww crackers
Meal 4: Swiss Chalet - white meat w. rice, bun
Note: i find that when I don't have work and sleep in a I get cheated out of an extra meal. Still need protien.. Might have to open the cherry chocolate one I have or the druit punch one you add with water. Cause the peach is too disgusting.
Taking a workout break on Tues. Body is feeling worn out as of late. Esp with all the shoveling I feel like i'm doing double workouts.
On a happy note: I'm in the VEIN club! Saw a vein in my arm while doing weights on Sat. so * WHOOP WHOOP*!!!
I called it, I'm president of the VEIN club. Rob your quads are nothing! Muhahaha
Daily Diet
Meal 1: 1 egg, 1/2 ww bagel Meal 2: lean cuisine, diet pepsi Meal 3: fat free yogurt, cheesestring Meal 4: @ Axia General Tao Chicken, White Rice
Pretty bad eating day. Not enough meals and still awaiting protien powder. Went out with some ex workmates to dinner. Didn't go overboard with the food, ordered no apps or dessert. Didn't leave overly stuffed.
The Workout
Rest day. I walked around the mall on my lunch break if that helps lol. Glad to take a rest day I'm quite tired as of late.
ya i think you needed to take the week off but a couple of rests days would work wonders for you! good stuff! oh and you forgot your protein today. i'll get it to you tomorrow!
Just wanted to say, awesome job last night. :) Taking a break is what you need here and there, especially right now that you're getting sick. So take it easy and just enjoy the holidays. See you tomorrow!
Meal 1: 1 egg 2 whites, 1/2 ww bagel Meal 2: 2 ww dinner rolls with turkey and cheese Meal 3: fat free yogurt, cheesestring Meal 4: Timmy's Turkey Bacon Club + salmon my sister made
The Workout * 1hr TMC on the Ball
Still not getting enough meals. I need protien! lol. Was too tired last night, felt so sick so just went straight to bed, hence the 4 meals. I know I need to up protein and eat more, so hard to get protein without protein powder.
Feeling so sick as of late. All clogged and tired. Might take up Rob's offer to use his Netti Pot :S
OK OK I'm Back! I was hard to post over the holidays. I still worked out 3-5 times a week. But I ate quite badly lol.
Sunday Jan 6th
Meal 1: 1 bowl whole grain post cereal w. milk
Meal 2: Swiss Chalet (CHEAT!) quarter chicken white with rice, garlic cheese loaf + perogies
Meal 3: lasagne my dad made. Healthy? No idea. It had extra lean ground beef though!
Annd... thats all. Was so full from Swiss that I just went to bed after dinner. Hence not enough meals. Sunday was suppose to be my get back into it day. Let me just point the finger at ROB who was suckered in by the 2 apps for $8.99 deal. And dragged me down with him! That Bastard..

30min CURCUIT! Plus a warmup on the bike. Very intense circuit! I admit it was quite card doing all cardio. Felt like Bootcamp! Looked around and was quite proud of everyones intensity. Enjoyed Tracy's random counting and cheers!I know that this is only half of what the guys will be feeling once we beat them at Blue and they have to do bootcamp for real! HARDCORE!!!
1hr TMC class (weights) Me and Tina were soooooo sore. Legs and arms felt like lead. Only one more day of working out before we can take a much needed break. Well... as a girl, i'll be wearing heels and dancing on Fri.. does that count as a workout? Last fri. my calves were killing me the next day!
I'm glad to say that since rob FINALLY gave me my protein (he held it hostage in his car), I finally have increased my protein intake.
Protein Goals: * I want to have 1 shake before bed everynight even if i feel full * shake in the morning unless I eat eggs * some sort of protein snack during the day at work (ie. pudding, if not make a shake) * eat protein to keep fit and have fun!

Everyone should be getting at least a day dedicated to abs.
As rob and i have began talking about having a day seperate from circuits to focus on abs, because like any other muscle abs need focusing as much as your legs or arms.
30 mins before circuits should suffice considering we're just waiting around most of the time.
Meal 3: Slim down bar (150cal, 15carbs only 1g sugar, 15 pro) - only bought this cause I forgot to bring protein powder to work, cheesestring
Meal 4: Michalinas advantage bowls, added more chicken breast from home, apple
Meal 5: Timmys Turkey Bacon Club on WW, yogurt
*man i'm loving this exotic yogurt, can u guys tell?
The Workout:
* Randomness on the bike while waiting for everyone * 2 sets of Rob's weighted ab rountine * 1/2 hr Circuit
Was everyone elses legs killing or was it just me?
I agree with everyone, we need a weight day. Tues is perfect since we hang around till usually 10ish till the people leave the gym. We can squeeze in a 20-30min weighted ab rountine.
I really liked the rountine yesterday, it was quite challenging. I hope you all liked my sounds, i'm the cool one in the gym! :D
Destination six pack everyone, destination six pack.
Meal 1: Protein shake, 1 slice WW toast with butter
Meal 2: lean cuisine, apple, diet coke
Meal 3: protein pudding, cheesestring, ww ritz crackers
Meal 4: 6" sub from Subway, Roasted Chicken
Meal 5: 2 bolied eggs mmMMM made with love, 1 slice WW toast, butter *okay and one TINY TINY bote of Rob and Jay's pizza
The Workout
1hr 15min Bootcamp
I'm proud that I ate so well today. That was the plan since I was heading to NYC!! Didn't cave on the pizza or the hershy kisses rob tried to give me! Sabotage!!!!
IN NYC! Surprisingly didn't overeat at all. Had breakfast lunch and dinner, did not snack at all. Ate out of course, cheating! Had some alcohol. Overall I enjoyed myself but i'm really looking forward to working out and eating well again.
Here are some of my goals:
1. Incorporate a weighted Ab rountine (prob before circuit) and maybe 1 or 2 other days at home 2. Try never to miss my gym classes (Sun Bootcamp, Mon P&C, Wed TMC) 3. Never miss circuit on Tues 4. Leave Thurs workouts open to change (class, new bootcamp, Turbo at home) 5. Try to do Turbo weights on Fri when I can with 7lbs weights 6. Keep cheating to a minimum! 7. Aim to work out 5 days a week, six if I can 8. Learn to boil eggs myself *oh the shame*
Question: Does it take 20min to boil an egg or not??
Meal 1: protein shake with soy, 1/ WW bagel with cheese
Meal 2: protein pudding, ritx crackers
Meal 3: @ Swiss, Chicken club wrap, 1/4 of a baked potatoe
Meal 4: @ Spring Rolls! (Work ordered for us since we were staying late!) Pho noodles with rare beef * I only ate half, its so not good when you have to build your own Pho from takeout, totally not the same
Meal 5: 1/2 bagel, 2 eggs, cheese
Meal 6: protein shake, FF yogurt
The Workout
45 min TurboJam cardio party!
I found that I got SIX meals in today! Given the fact that I had to stay late for work and ate dinner earlier then normal, I was still able to work out and add a post workout meal and a bedtime shake!! Prob won't happen again, but I think 5 is good for me
*was it just me or did it take FOREVER to get that taziki taste out of your mouth???
Sunday Jan 27th
Was suppose to be a good day but ended up cheating at the movies, boooooo...
Meal 1: whole grain post cereal with milk, FF yogurt
Meal 2: @ swiss - chickem club wrap with rice, then went to the movies and had Kernels popcorn (3 types) and dour gummy candies!
Meal 3: egg beaters with a bagel
*felt to sick from all the candy to eat more!
The Workout *1hr 15 min bootcamp!!
Need to stop cheating. But its been so long since I went to the movies and pigged out on candy and popcorn. I don't feel too gulity about endulinging but I'd like to keep the cheating to a minimum if possible.
Overall, HORRIBLE eating weeked! Looking forward to get back into it this week!
Meal 2: @ Swiss - Chicken Club wrap with sour cream, 1/2 baked potatoe
Meal 3: fried rice, chicken breast, apple
Meal 4: protein shake with soy
The Workout
1hr15min of Bootcamp! Lisa changed the rountine and it was SO HARD. Quite a challenge! I also used 3 risers for the last few cycles of our routine. Lisa also gave me the 18 lb bar, but I was struggling like crazy. I like that she pushes me to work out harder. I acutally felt the PUKE start to rise :S
I don't really have a problem with cheating. I normally don't cheat during the week unless there is some sort of function where I am required to go out. I work out hard usually for 5-6 days straight and when the weekend comes, I don't have a problem letting go.
I would LIKE however, to cheat less. ie. only have ONE cheat at a restaurant on the weekends, as opposed to 3 (like last weekend). I'm sure that setting this goal will help me and Rob stay on task. I would also like to eliminate FAST FOOD in general if possible.
Also, if I do cheat on the weekend, make sure it is a cheat MEAL not a CHEAT DAY! As I sometimes tend to do lol. And lastly for food goals, I want the last meal of the day to be just a protein shake. I would like the cut down the number of carbs I eat before bed, UNLESS I work out at night play VBall etc.
I've pretty much reached my goal weight. I've pretty much stayed the same weight over the past year and I ain't going to get any smaller! I would still like to tone up, incorporate more protein in my diet, stay active and eat as well as I can.
I've notice that I am getting a lot stronger. The fact that I can do normal pushups really impresses me! I'd like to start doing normal tricep pushups (and not the girly kind) as well as one day, do ONE PULL UP! I'm not even close but hopefully I can improve my upper body strength.
When the weather gets nicer, I would like to take up running again, our Valleys route or Riverwood is fine, as I am sure I am out of running shape. I WOULD like to do some biking, but that would require me to buy a bike.. well we will see lol
Yes Jay my meals are tasty! You won't find any ELGB on my diet list!!
1 hr Cardio Pump and Crunch really loving the versatility of the elastic bands!!
Not too sure if circuit will happen tonight. I want to go to the gym late anyways (weather permitting) and possibly try Rob's body for life rountine on the tredmill, something about running for 20min on different levels of difficulty.
hey i just wanna say that you are a big inspiration to me! you always seem to stay on track no matter what happens, and you always push me to do better!
the push up thing is amazing! to think that you couldnt do a girls push up, less then a year ago. i guarantee that you will reach all of your goals, b/c you dont really know how to fail once you put your mind to it!
thanks again for our fast food pact! lol. i know i am better because of you!
Meal 4: ww pasta, tomato sauce with chicken breast
Meal 5: protein shake with soymilk, 1/2 WW bagel with butter
The Workout
10min warmup on bike
20min Body for Life Running Routine *2min @ 3.5 4 rounds of the following 1 min each at 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 8.0 30 sec at 8.5 30 sec at 9.0 1 min cooldown @ 2.0
Hardest cardio I've done in a long time. A lot harder then circuit. Overall it went by really quiickly but was very very difficult.
It was great to push myself, I've never run at 9.0 before (full out sprint). After the run I was so tired, I felt like I had run 10km! I'd like to do this every Tues if we do not do circuit.
Great Job yesterday Mary. I love this new cardio routine. It doesn't take much out of your day, but crazy effective! I still feel the burn! *girly high five
Meal 3: meatloaf (ELGB) with mixed veggies, masked potatoes
Meal 4: bowl of WG honey shreddies, part of blueberry muffin (woah all carbs before bed)
The Workout
Shovelling!
20min B4L Cardio Running Range 5.0 to 9.0 Not the hardest intesity i've done but quite challenging when your lazy and tired lol.
Overall an amazing eating week. Usually on Fri and Sat I let go, eat whatever, and dont' work out. This week, cause of the storm, Rob and I were trapped in Milton. Thus, we did not have the option of eating out like we usually do. Thoough tempted with unhealty snacks all around, we made healty meals all weekend AND managed to get in our workouts! *pats self on back* Other then the muffin picking and cereal before bed, I am really proud that I didnt cheat this weekend.
As the the rest of the week, i'm going to be strict, working out everyday and eating well till Blue. Minus Thurs night since I have a yearend work dinner function and of course, I'll be baking cookies for blue that night, Which means that I'll be eating cookie dough :S
I also weight myself at the gym today for fun. Apparently i'm 119lbs with shoes on and 125lbs without. What the heck?
Meal 5: postworkout @ Eastsides - ordered from the Lighter Fare menu - white alfredo pasta (only 6g of fat! lol) whith shrimp and chicken breast.
Honestly this was the best portion size. It was a small bowl and I paid to add the chicken breast. Didn't finish all the pasta (thanks rob) but it was a perfect size and did NOT come with unlimited bread and soup lol. Quite proud that i steered clear of the 1/2 price apps, and other unhealthy stuff.
As for the APPLE meal, that is what happens when you find out last minute about vball and don't have enough food to last the day. Went straight from work to the gym to vball. I was starving.
The Workout
1hr Cardio Pump and Crunch. Spent majority of the time using the elastic bands, it was kiiller, i'm so sore.
Oh i forgot. I also ate a baked chocolate chip cookie in the morning with my tea. mMMMmm. I'm no saint, I really can't resist a good cookie. As long as i don't go overboard, im ok!
Meal 1: protein shake with soymilk, 1/2 WW bagel with 1 boiled egg
Meal 2: WW pasta (with blue menu ricotta cheese and sundried orengano salad dressing) + 1 piece of fresh salmon yum!
Meal 3: protein shake with soymilk, 1/2 apple cause it was mushy
Meal 4: WW bagel sandwich with egg, smoked turkey, turkey bacon, and cheese, light cranberry cocktail
Meal 5: Postwork @ Timmys, Turkely Bacon Club on WW with cheese and honey mustard, light cranberry cocktail
The Workout
B4L Cardio on tremill (20min) 5.0-8.0 Cycles, last min @ 9.0
Revese Pullup's - 4 sets Something that Rob showed me, not really sure what it is called, did 4 sets, and now i'm in paaaaaaain! (thanks Rob for pushing me!) But overall I really enjoyed it. Tried doing a normal pullup. Im almost 1/2 way there so i'm semiproud. I wnat to be as good as Jay Kao!
Meal 1: protein shake with soy, 1/2 WW bagel with cheddar
Meal 2: Jambalaya (WW rice) with shrimp, so yummy!
Meal 3: protein shake with soy, 1/2 WW bagel with butter
Meal 4: 1/2 protien bar (myoplex lite) and some gatorade (ok clearly this is not really a meal, shared the bar with Rob, this was after my workout and I went straight to Vball so I had no time to eat a proper meal)
(1) limit cheat meals - I don't cheat that often to begin with but I'd like to STOP going out to eat with Rob since we tend to go all out and overeat. I would like to plan my cheats in advance so I don't get down on myself. Elinating fast food no question. If I go to restaurants (ie someones bday, work functions, ill try to eat has healthy as I can).
(2) do more weights. I'm going to try weights with Rob (Body 4 Life style) this week. Currently, I get some weights in my rountine (ie turbojam, my classes), but nothing that focuses on core body parts. I'd like to start to see if I at least like it. And if I do, i'll tweak my program. Aiming to start upperbody on Thurs or Fri during the day (gym open till 4pm).
(3) I'm not looking to lose any weight. I'm ok with my size I'd just like to tone up. I havn't acutately weighted myself as of late but I usually hover between 120 - 124ish lbs. Not concerned with numbers, I just want to look good! I'd like to build my upperbody strength and of course, I'd like to see more definition in my Abs. Its getting there. I see a 1 pack lol.
(4) I need to mention this, I would really really like to do ONE FULL unassisted PULL UP! And since I can do normal pushups (woohoo!) I'd like to also do normal tripcept pushups (10 straight, non girly).
Currently, my workouts are as followed:
Sunday: 1hr 15min bootcamp Monday: 1 hr Cardio Pump and Crunch (weights and cardio) Tuesday: B4L Cardio or Circuit! Wednesdays: Weights on the Ball 1hr Thurs: ususally up in the air. Sometimes this is my rest day, sometimes I do TurboJam or do a class (low and tone) Fri: TurboJam weights 40min Sat: Rest day usually
The above will change if I enjoy B4L weights enought to tweak my workout routine.
i tell you this all the time but i will put it out here too. if you start doing a set weight routine, you will get amazing results and have a kick ass bod easily before the cruise! you are doing really well as it is, but if you add training like BFL weights, all your goals that you mentioned will come 10 times faster! i guarantee you will be impressed if you give it a solid chance!

* 20min TurboJam Cardio
* I was feeling good so i added in some pushups: 10 regular pushups 10 tricept pushups (on knees) 10 downward dog pushups By this time, I could hardly finish the downward dog pushups I was in so much pain. Glad that I pushed myself hard enough that I was feeling fatigued in the end!
* introducing more WEIGHTS into my program. This Friday I will be trying the B4L weights (legs) with Rob. Next week (day to be decided) I will try the upperbody weights. After that, I will work these 2 days (and maybe 3?) into my workout regime.
This means that I may have to drop some classes. Ie. Wendy's TMC on the ball and Thus Low & Tone (which i don't do all the time anyways). But this is yet to be determined. For sure, Sunday bootcamp and monday Cardio Pump and Crunch I will attend.
* After next week I aim to have a set rountine schedule. Woohoo countdown too beach bodies people!
omg, our boxing workouts are intense! it's not a class, though eddie used to do the class at the gym; instead, its just combinations of a lot of boxing moves! i love it!

Meal 5: protein shake with soy
No Workout - REST DAY
Looking forward to doing B4L weights at the gym today with Rob!
Hey Mary, I've decided to do the pam pictures too (if i'm not too late in letting Rob know as I wasn't on the comp yesterday). Anyhow, you're so funny you noticed the lechon that I ate one day. I thought i'd try to see if anyone read my page. clearly you do. And I know Rob read's my page and doesn't hesitate to make a fob comment (which I don't mind), but I wanted to see if he noticed the lechon i ate. Needless to say, you were the only one, my friend.
So you're changing your routine? me too. I won't be going to the thursday class anymore either...
Meal 1: protein shake with milk, 1 flax toast with butter, boiled egg yum!
Meal 2: (postworkout) had a little bit of rice and tillipa @ Rob's but I didn't like it so I had to eat yogurt and a protein bar!
Meal 3: asparagus, salmon, wild rice
Meal 4: protein shake with milk, FF yogurt
The Workout
BFL Leg Workout with Rob. Not too sure how to describe the different excercises. Rob can you do this please! Also did some skipping, pushups, and the spinning bike.
Basically it was my first time using some of those machines at the gym. I had a lot of fun doing it too! I surprised myself with how much weight I could push. Rob said I even outperformed him on one part. And my calf raises were impressive he said! I liked how I got to at least try the routine to see what weight I could do. Overall I found it challenging, but for some excercises, I know I can push myself even more.
I woke up today with really really sore legs so I know I worked out hard. Next, I'll try the BFL upper body!
Meal 1: protein shake with soymilk, 1 flaxseed toast with butter
Meal 2: brown rice, 1 piece multigrain tillipa
Meal 3: (postworkout) @ Swiss - chicken and rice, shared chicken noodle soup with Rob, took a bite or two from his chicken wrap!
Meal 4: @ Caseys - rice, mahi mahi with mango salsa, peppers and zuccini (Rob and I went to a bday party and I'm proud to say we ordered well, avoided all apps and did NOT have any cake!)
Again, I can't really describe the routine in general as I just learned it. Did all excersies with some supersets of stuff..that i can't explain properly lol. Basically, I really pushed myself hard today. I found a lot of the excersies challenging, esp when the weight got increased and I had to do lower sets. Totally sucked at shoulders -- major struggle for me. And biceps at the end were so difficult i was making my girly noise (Jay knows lol). Overall I really liked this routine. I like my classes, but I'm ready for a change. I've decided to start with 2 days of weights a week (one upper one lower) because I would still like to do my classes. Here is my new workout schedule:
Sunday: Bootcamp Monday: Cardio Pump and Crunch Tuesday: BFL Upperbody, cardio Wednesday: TMC on the Ball Thursday: Rest Day Friday: BfL Lowerbody, Cardio Sat: Rest day or TurboJam Cardio
The above can change depending on what I have to do that week (ie. work late, Vball, planned functions), but I'd like to keep the above schedule pretty consistent.
first off, i wanna say that you are doing a great job mary! realizing the potential of change is paramount to success! secondly, i wanna say that if any of you girls, or even boys for that matter, wanna see what pushing hard is, watch mary workout. this is something totally new to her and unlike me or jay or bas, she is totally unfamiliar with the exercise and the weights she has to do. however, i have told her again and she is a testament to this, IT IS NOT THE WEIGHT THAT YOU PUSH, BUT THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO PUSHING THE WEIGHT. she did alot of weight (alot more then i expected), but more importantly, she never gave up or stopped. when she was failing at rep 6 of a 12 rep set, she toughened up and forced out 6 more with PERFECT FORM! crazy shit! i was totally impressed with you today mary, and i guarantee that if you take this work ethic and drive for the next 6 weeks, you will hit all your goals! great stuff!
Meal 1: protein shake with soymilk, 1/2 WW bagel with butter
Meal 2: Small portions of fried rice, roast beef, lasagne, potato chops
Snack: Cheat! I had a scoop of vanilla ice cream, 1 cookie, and 2 mini lindor chocolate eggs
Meal 4: shrimp and rice, pork roast
Meal 5: FF yogurt, protein shake with milk, 1 boiled egg
The Workout 20min BFL Cardio Intensity 5.0 to 9.0
I'm a little disappointed with my diet today. Only cause I said that I wouldn't cheat at my family party. Lunch was ok. Yes, I had some fried rice but I didn't eat a lot and wasn't stuffed (like I usually am). Props to Rob for not getting seconds. I told myself I wouldn't eat dessert but its hard when you are around the fam and everyone is piggin out lol. SO i had bit of ice cream and some of the kids chocolate so sue me!! I was weak but I enjoyed myself and didn't go over the top.
Overall, I was SUPER LAZY today. Didn't end up doing cardio till 9:30pm. Big thanks to Rob for making me do it. I think a big part of it was the fact that i'm sore all over. BfL WEIGHTS IS AMAZING. It totally took me by surprise. After 2 days, I still can't walk properly from the leg workout. I'm sore from upperbody yesterday but its not as bad. When done properly this weight program is wicked! Its such a challenge and I love it! I hope I'll be ready for the PAM pics :)
My workout this week will be a little different. No bootcamp today since it was Easter. Wed, I will be going to teh Raptors game with Rob so it wil be my rest day. TO make up for it, I'll do some sort of cardio on Thursday.
Meal 1: protein shake with soymilk, 1/2 WW bagel with butter, 1 boiled egg
Snack: WG apple cinnamon cheerios
Meal 2: 2 potato chops with ketchup (basically potato, groud beef and peas)
Meal 3: protein shake with soymilk, FF yogurt
Meal 4: 1 Stoffers Lean Crustini (Chicken something or other.. it only had 11g of protein what the heck! -- so I ate 6 slices of smoked turkey and 1 FF Kraft Single along with it) *note: surpringly, 1 slice of FF Kraft Single has 5g of protien!
Meal 5: (postworkout) protein shake with soymilk and starwberries, 1/2 WW bagel with cheddar
The Workout
BFL Weights - Lower Body 20min B4L Cardio - Tredmill
Rob upped some weights for me and added more supersets, I loved it! I was struggling like mad with the thigh machine or whatever its called. Burned out early and felt bad. So I went back on it again and Rob pushed me to do another set of 20! Overall my legs weren't feeling as Jello-ish as last time, maybe its cause it was my second time doing the routine? Anyways, it made me feel like I didn't work out as hard. I take that back cause the longer I sit on my bed, the tighter my legs are feeling (aka they feel dead).
Running on the tredmill was a challenge. Legs weight like weight and knee felt weird. Ran the B4L but lower intensity then normal. Still pushed for 9.0 in the last minute.
Also, I forgot to mention... I have this weird phobia of eating carbs right before I crawl into bed. For example tonight! I know that it is postworkout and I should eat a lot of carbs.. but it makes me feel weird to do it if I go the bed right away. I had a shake and 1/2 a bagel (even though Rob told me to eat the whole bagel), I couldn't make myself do it lol. I threw in a few strawberries into my shake but I know it isn't enough. Any thoughts anyone?
thoughts? yes, listen to rob and eat the friggin carbs!
you kicked ass with the workout! dont get so down on yourself! i think you did better then most of the guys did when they first tried BFL in terms of effort, and this is only your 3rd workout!
Meal 1: protein shake with soy, 1/2 WW bagel, butter, 1 boiled egg
Snack: FF yogurt
Meal 2: WG rice, chicken breat & broccoli stirfry
Meal 3: protein shake with soy
Meal 4: protein bar (in the microwave!) - it was totally dry.
Meal 5: @ Swiss - Chicken Club Wrap
Meal 6: protein shake with soy
*WOOHOO! six meals again. I was too full to have the shake before bed but Rob talked me into it
The Workout
BFL Upper Body
Pushup Cycle (took turns with Rob) - started at 10, the 9,8,7 and so on (mixture of girly and regular)
20min BFL Cardio - Tredmill
Overall, I had an awesome weight workout and I think I really challenged myself. Added some new machines and some different supersets. *Dirty looks to Con and Jay for calling me Simba*
Anyways, Rob and I played around with the rountine again. I think we are finally figuring what works for me and what doesn't. Did an extra set of the back workout cause I wasn't feeling it. I'll start using the pullup machine instead, and I'm finding it quite the challege. Also that back thing we did (near the cheating light) really started killing the lower back. Chest was good as well, once again started burning out by the end but thats my goal!
Upped the weights on biceps from last week, woohoo! And I was trembling so I know I worked hard. Triceps were ok, I think I can still push myself more. Shoulders were the biggest challege. Burned out quick and Rob had to spot me and lower the weight (thanks!!)
Overall, I think I did really well. Have to work on confidence a bit more and not getting upset when I don't do an excersise properly. Feeling the soreness this morning which is good. STILL feeling the leg pain from Tues workout.
Workout schedule changed this week. Cardio today (FRI), and B4L weights possibly on Sat.
Had a really good working out week. Tommorow I think I'll keep the cardio light. I'm starting to burn out. Also, want to keep my body in good shape for sundays BOOTCAMP!!
I forgot to mention that for all the pushups we had to do for Bootcamp, I did NOT do 1 girly one! Even for triceps! It was a major stuggle and I took breaks when I felt weak. I didn't go as far down to the floor because I was getting tired. But i'm impressed that I didn't need to go on my knees :D
Meal 1: protein shake with soymilk, 1/2 WW bagel with butter, 1 boiled egg
Snack: FF Yogurt
Meal 2: Lean Cusine, apple
Meal 3: Stoffers Lean Crustini (it had chicken and some yummy sauce)
Meal 4: Protein shake with soymilk
Meal 5: (post) @ Swiss, chicken rice bun
Meal 6: Protein shake with soymilk
The Workout
1hr Cardio Pump and Crunch Don't know why but Tracy and I were sweating SO MUCH (like onto the floor). For some reason the class felt more difficult then Bootcamp. Or maybe because I was so sore? Anyways, I'm feeling really stiff so before BFL weights today, I'm going to do Lisa's 1hr YOGA class.

Hey! Good job yesterday. my legs are so sore (I feel it most when I'm walking down the stairs b/c I can't control how fast i'm walking anymore). So next tuesday you'll do the yoga class!!! I think you should...it will definately help you with your flexibility & balance.
1 hr Mind Body and Core Yoga BFL Lower Body 10min on Spinning Bike (intervals) - 1 min standing (increased intensity), 1 min sitting (lower intensity)
Awesome workout today. It started with the YOGA. I decided to do it since I was feeling really stiff. It was a good stretch for me. I suck at yoga though, I cannot even touch my toes. But i'm working on it lol.
BFL weights today was awesome! Trained with Tracy and Tina (with Robs assistance and Lou supervising lol) and we worked SO HARD! I'm proud of you ladies :) Out of all the lower body workouts I've done, this one was the most intense. I think it was becuase Rob was a ninja and increased the weights on several machines. Apparently, I was lifting 15lbs more on the squat machine thing then I normally do, on each side! I was wondering why I was dying out so early.
Once again, thighs were the big challenege. Felt the burn early and had to take several breaks. Enjoyed the calf raises (its always funner with a little WHOOP WHOOP!). Hams weren't too bad, I think I could have upped the intensity - the last set of 12 didn't tire me out as much as the other excerises. All supersets were quite the challeges. Least challenging would have been the Hams superset. I think next time, I would like to hold a weight in the other hand. I also would have paid money to see Tina drop the bar and fall on her face. I can't believe I missed that!!
Pushed the girls to ride the spinning bike with me. I thought what the heck, we might as well. A great way to end the night with a little intense cardio.
Great job yesterday Mary! Honestly. I would never have thought that I could ever do that. Especially after seeing you do it! I was so scared! My legs are killing me! I can't even bend! lol! I can't wait for tomorrow! Once we get all our sets down we can start doing them regularly! Great work!
Meal 6: (postwork again lol) @ Botson :S I hate this place! - Sante Fe Chicken Stromboli, fresh veggies
The Workout
BFL Weights Upperbody 1.5Hr VBall
Worked up a good sweat duing vball. I really like playing 4 on 4 - gives u more space to move around.
Weights with Tina were awesome (high five girlfriend!). Thanks Rob once again for pushing/training us :D - I think I can still push more for chest. Back, shoulders, tris, and bi's were all a challenge.
Meal 3: brown rice with shrimp and veggies, chicken breast
Snack: wg honey shreddies
Meal 4: chilli, white bun @ Tim Hortons
Workout
NONE :(
Today was suppose to be my day 6 of working out, and I was suppose to do cardio. However, I got sick and spent the entire day in bed. I woke up only to get food and eat, and then I would pass out. I think it was from the medicine I was taking.
Also, decided not to work out b/c I think I hurt my outside ankle a bit. It has been bothering me since Monday and it doesn't hurt, it just feels off. I was able to workout ok for the entire week until vball. I think all that running around made me put too much pressure on it and after we played, I was walking up the stairs and it was giving me a lot of trouble. So Rob made me ice it. Gave me some trouble at Bootcamp today as well :S
Meal 4: 6" Roasted Chicken Sub on WW, cheese, lettace, onions, hm
Meal 5: chicken and wild rice soup, 1 boiled egg (cause throat was killing me)
Meal 6: homemade meatloaf (LGB cause the E was too expensive), brown rice
The Workout
75min Bootcamp
Quite proud that I dragged myself to class even though I felt so sick. Blew my nose between cycles and was feeling really hot (even though the room was cold). Ankle continued to give me problems...
keep it up CEO... make sure the ankle doest get aggravated while your doing these exercises as that can set you back (hopefully it won't). Go light on it, but if its comfortable enough to do bootcamp then pump it up!!!
i want double trouble VEINS mary. that's your name if you can produce!!!
Meal 1: protein shake, 1/2 WW bagel, butter, boiled egg
Snack: handfun wg honey shreddies
Meal 2: meatloaf (LGB), brown rice with veggies and shrimp
Meal 3: protein shake
Meal 4: protein bar, FF yogurt
Meal 5: ww pita sandwich with ham and cheese
Meal 6: 1/4 protein (i ran out of powder!! frig!), 1/2 piece of meatloaf (LGB)
Workout - None Planned rest day. Went to the hills aftershow.
This week I will probably only work out 5 out of 7 days. I would like to rest my ankle. I find it usually gives me trouble AFTER the workout, not during (except for bootcamp). I find that its tight when I walk up and down the stairs.
And now, i'm officially on antibiotics, cough syrup, AND I have an awesome nasal spary :S -- so I hope this does not effect my workouts this week in terms of my energy levels.
Ohh double troube veins... jay I accept the challenge!
Meal 1: protein shake with soy, bowl of wg honey shreddies
Meal 2: FF yogurt, protein bar
Meal 3: 6" Roasted Chicken Sub, cheese, l, o, hm
Meal 4: brown rice, shrimp, chicken veggies stirfry, also munched on pineapple
Meal 5: protein shake, few orange slices
The Workout
BFL Weights - Lower Body
Called in sick today, but still made it out to the gym. SO DIFFICULT finding energy to complete my sets. Was going through hot/cold flashes, and possibly was working out with a fever. Used lower weights, esp on squats but I still pushed it out and worked hard. I was sweating SO MUCH today at the gym, even before we started... and I never sweat easily.
Overall, I know I'm sick, but I'm glad I went. Thanks Rob for making me work out hard. Tradeoff was that he made me go to the doctor. I'm now the proud owner of a nasal spray now (woohoo twins tina!) and other meds :S
Also, no matter WHAT I ate, my stomach growled constantly.. ALL DAY! I wonder why.
Will assess the workout situation, depending on how I feel tommorow. I don't know if I can pull another today tommorow!
good job, Mary. you're hard core! Hope you feel better. btw, sorry for the emails & facebook msgs. I left my cell phone @ home yesterday and didn't know you texted me until I came home from work.
aaww mary! i hope you're feeling better today.. it was good you were sweating a lot at the gym - hopefully you can sweat out that sick feeling! keep it up! :)
i'm not sure completely but i don't think it's even benificial for you to work out during an illness as your body needs the time and rest to recover and let your immune system fight off the infections. Andmedication only reduces the symptoms associated with the illness, you need rest so you can be 100% at the gym.
But all the more to you for working out sick CEO, sure fire way to get double trouble vein.
Meal 3: 2 cheesestrings (I know, not much of a meal but I had no appetite)
Meal 4: @ Pickel Barrel - Spanish Paella (if was off the healthy menu!) basically rice, shrimp, sausage, chicken and mussles - again, no appetite, I ate less then 1/2 the plate
Meal 5: protein shake with soy, 1/2 WW bagel with cheese
The Workout
30min TurboJam Cardio
I totally understand that I prob need to rest. I do admit that doing BFL weights on Tues was prob a mistake - as I did have a fever and was sweating up a storm. But I feel a lot better today. Yesterday doing the cardio, I felt really good. My fever is gone, as are the hot/cold flashes. And i'm clearing up nicely.
Overall I had a quite horrible cheating/lazyass weekend. First cheat since March 21st :S
On Fri, I had a girls night and my friend cooked for us. I knew I would prob have to cheat as its is rude to pass up food when your friend spent so much time cooking dinner. This I can live with. The plan was to do cardio either Fri night or Sat morning. Since it took me awhile to get home from work, I opted to work out on Sat and make Fri night my rest day.
On Sat, I dont' know WHAT happened but I woke up at 12pm!! So I did not get my cardio in at all as the Cruise meeting started at 12 and I was still in bed. I rushed to Rob's house after a quick breakfast. I was hungry and ended up eating the yummy apps even though I prob shouldn't have. Then Dinner came around and it was Rob's mom's bday, no healthy options. I ate the chinese food and should have passed on the cake.. but I didn't.. boooo. Oh well, whats done is done.
I vowed to get back on track on Sunday, with no planned cheats till the cruise. I bought a bike which is awesome and took it out for 1/2 an hour or so. I was so much fun, but very tiring. My thighs were burning and yes the seat is very hard. I look forward to making biking a part of my daily cardio.
Meal 1: protein shake w. soy, 1/2 WW bagel, cheddar, butter
Meal 2: Meatloaf (ELGB), sweet potatoe, pineapple
Meal 3: protein shake w. soy, apple
Meal 4: lean cuisine
Meal 5: lean turkey burger, white bun, ketchup, grapes
Meal 6: protein shake w. soy
The Workout
45+min of outdoor biking 25min jog on the tredmill
The outdoor biking was awesome. Went longer then yesterday, but still was struggling a bit. I'm just not as fast as the others and when I try to keep up, I just tire out. Oh well, baby steps. 2 days in and i'm feeling good. Gotta work up to that 50k!
As for jogging, I threw in the extra cardio while Rob was doing his weights. Kept it low since legs felt like lead anyways (5.0). Watched the Penguins vs. Ottawa playoff game and time flew.
You are doing great with the biking. Don't worry about not going as fast as Rob or I. Believe me when I say that I tire faster than you do to keep that pace up. Also, you should play around with the different gears more. By using different gears in appropriate situations, you can use your energy and effort more efficiently, which will help you keep your speed up while tiring less quickly. Keep practicing! I enjoyed the ride as well!
BFL Weights - Upper Body Elliptical Machine - 20min
Weights were hard as usual. I think it was harder for me possibly because of the 2 straight days of biking. But... doing weights I sometimes get so frustrated I defeat myself and allow myself to get upset. Like if I can't lift as much as last week, or I take more breaks then usual. It just gets to me and effects the rest of my workout. Something I need to work on...
Today was suppose to be my rest day, but I went to Baseball practice. Pretty much felt like a good workout. Threw the ball around, worked on some plays... until I took a line drive off of my lower shin/ankle. From then on it was all pain and me hobbling/standing around. So I don't really count yesterday as much of a workout.
Meal 4: Cheat! finger foods and Cherishs (fruit, chinese apps i think, cupcake)
Meal 5: Cheat! wings and loaded fries while watching the UFC fight
The Workout Outdoor Biking - 20km Took us about 1hr40min to do this route with breaks. Overall, kept a good pace. The only prob was the wind, which seemed to play a big factor in my ability to tire.
Honestly, did NOT mean to cheat tonight. Once I got to the party, all that yummy food was starring me in the face, and my growling stomach gave into temptation lol. It was good to get the junk in my system, cause I don't think I'll crave it again. The wings were not good to begin with and I felt gross afterwards. Oh well, lets make up for it tommorow!!!
Ohh the sunburn :S Awesome workout day. I didn't want to miss Bootcamp so i fit it in before practice. Practice was quite draining but great at the same time.
Still having some problems with the hurt shin. Hurts to run on it but I do it anyways, prob not a good idea right?
Hurray for using 3 steps! Hurray for doing rollups w. no risers or step Hurray for using the 18lbs bar No Hurray for having to ice my shin/ankle again. I think the step totally killed it today. Had to ice it for awhile. Lisa told me it looked fat :S
BFL Lower Body minus one excercise on the Jamble machine? Just cause with the bruise on my lower shin, I couldn't lift the weight. Plus, we were going to be late for practice.
swinging the bat is an ab workout? could that be why my chest/ribs hurt every time I cough? I did some more batting practice after you left. I was so tired I couldn't hold the bat up anymore...too much thinking and reteaching myself to hit.
Meal 1: ham and onion omlette, 2 slices brown toast with butter, home fries *large breakfast kept me full for 6 hours :S
Meal 2: @ Charleys Steakery - Steak sandwich
Meal 3: bm mac and cheese with salsa and lean ground beef *I didn't eat a lof it this. My sister made it and it looked sort of funky. It tasted interesing.
Meal 4: @ Mucho Burrito - Grilled Chicken Quesidilla
Cheat: 1 piece of dairy queen ice cream cake, and a few hershey kisses
Workout: None
I think I needed a cheat. I passed up 2 cakes, pizza, wings and other snacks at work all week. Then on Fri, I starting craving everything.
I really enjoyed the spinning class. It was so challenging, I was dripping onto the floor. I'd love to do it again, esp if it helps with preparing for the 50km ride.
So much cheating this weekend. I vow from Sunday on to be clean until this photoshoot. But it was nice to cheat. I really wanted to snack!
Meal 1: protein shake w. soy, 1/2 WW bagel, butter, boiled egg
Meal 2: lean cusine, apple
Meal 3: protein bar, cheese string, FF yogurt
Meal 4: (postworkout) and a Cheat (boo) manb curry, basmati, chick peas
The Workout 1hr Hot Yoga
Drip drip dripping onto the floor until the point where I almost slipped on my mat. Overall Hot Yoga was awesome. It was a hard workout for me, considering I'm not very flexible. It was challenging trying to hold the positons for long periods of time. Id go again. I don't think I'm EVER sweat this much in my life.
Sorry for the Indian Cheat. I went to Katrinas house and her mom fed me. I couldn't say no!
Conrad biking!!! What does that mean? I'm assuming it means laziness? I was sitting for 1min east and standing 1 min hard for 20min. Did you not see the sweat/effort! I'm offended now. I take back all the nice things I said about u *pouts*
Meal 1: protein shake w. soy, 1/2 WW bagel, boiled egg, butter

Workout
1hr TMC on the ball 10Min spinning bike (sitting/standing)
Slowly getting the diet back on track. I need to look good for the beach party! But as I told Jay, I grew a mini tire from vacation :(
First day back at the gym was HARD! Tracy and I were done after 10 min. I think during the 5min warmup my arms were already sore LOL. Needless to say, I feel totally out of shape and it's only been 2 weeks!
Excited to get back on track in full next week as I have bootcamp! and Mondays class, and I will need to start training for the ride on June 1st.
I guess this is a "there and back again" type blog. I once was fat, then I was skinn(ier), and now once again I am fat.
I've made the decision (once again) that I need to make some changes, but this time, make them for good. I am married now. I have a house, a wife who loves me, a great family, an amazing support network of friends, and a dream of starting my own family. I have reasons... more then ever before, to take my life back...

The Workout
*40 min TurboJam Weights using 7lbs weights
*20 min TurboJam Cardio

I decided to add the shoveling cause I did this right after my workout and was totally exhausted from it all. Damn snow drifts *fist* And for all I know it could have taken more then 1 hour. Totally feel all this in my back right now. Possibly interested in investing in a snow blower.... stupid driveway is too long.
The Diet (so far as its only 9pm)

I'm glad to say that since rob FINALLY gave me my protein (he held it hostage in his car), I finally have increased my protein intake.
Protein Goals:
* I want to have 1 shake before bed everynight even if i feel full
* shake in the morning unless I eat eggs
* some sort of protein snack during the day at work (ie. pudding, if not make a shake)
* eat protein to keep fit and have fun!
hahah great job joanne mcloud lol! upper your protein to what ur goals are will help bring out your tone like crazy!

Everyone should be getting at least a day dedicated to abs.
As rob and i have began talking about having a day seperate from circuits to focus on abs, because like any other muscle abs need focusing as much as your legs or arms.
30 mins before circuits should suffice considering we're just waiting around most of the time.
well said duk! ya me and bas can do our abs in like 15 minutes and we usually ahve that time before circuit so im sure we can all do it as well!
Does you back kill from Monday's class? I'm dead! Thanks for the sale updates! Very much appreciated. I need some sales on groceries.

Meal 3: fried rice, chicken breast, apple
Meal 4: protein shake with soy
The Workout
1hr15min of Bootcamp!
Lisa changed the rountine and it was SO HARD. Quite a challenge! I also used 3 risers for the last few cycles of our routine. Lisa also gave me the 18 lb bar, but I was struggling like crazy. I like that she pushes me to work out harder. I acutally felt the PUKE start to rise :S
My Goals
I don't really have a problem with cheating. I normally don't cheat during the week unless there is some sort of function where I am required to go out. I work out hard usually for 5-6 days straight and when the weekend comes, I don't have a problem letting go.
I would LIKE however, to cheat less. ie. only have ONE cheat at a restaurant on the weekends, as opposed to 3 (like last weekend). I'm sure that setting this goal will help me and Rob stay on task. I would also like to eliminate FAST FOOD in general if possible.
Also, if I do cheat on the weekend, make sure it is a cheat MEAL not a CHEAT DAY! As I sometimes tend to do lol. And lastly for food goals, I want the last meal of the day to be just a protein shake. I would like the cut down the number of carbs I eat before bed, UNLESS I work out at night play VBall etc.
I've pretty much reached my goal weight. I've pretty much stayed the same weight over the past year and I ain't going to get any smaller! I would still like to tone up, incorporate more protein in my diet, stay active and eat as well as I can.
I've notice that I am getting a lot stronger. The fact that I can do normal pushups really impresses me! I'd like to start doing normal tricep pushups (and not the girly kind) as well as one day, do ONE PULL UP! I'm not even close but hopefully I can improve my upper body strength.
When the weather gets nicer, I would like to take up running again, our Valleys route or Riverwood is fine, as I am sure I am out of running shape. I WOULD like to do some biking, but that would require me to buy a bike.. well we will see lol
Yes Jay my meals are tasty! You won't find any ELGB on my diet list!!
lol
ELGB can taste good execpt if your robert. haha
i think i might do some biking too. runnin is too hard on my ankle

Not too sure if circuit will happen tonight. I want to go to the gym late anyways (weather permitting) and possibly try Rob's body for life rountine on the tredmill, something about running for 20min on different levels of difficulty.
hey i just wanna say that you are a big inspiration to me! you always seem to stay on track no matter what happens, and you always push me to do better!
the push up thing is amazing! to think that you couldnt do a girls push up, less then a year ago. i guarantee that you will reach all of your goals, b/c you dont really know how to fail once you put your mind to it!
thanks again for our fast food pact! lol. i know i am better because of you!

Thus, we did not have the option of eating out like we usually do. Thoough tempted with unhealty snacks all around, we made healty meals all weekend AND managed to get in our workouts! *pats self on back* Other then the muffin picking and cereal before bed, I am really proud that I didnt cheat this weekend.
As the the rest of the week, i'm going to be strict, working out everyday and eating well till Blue. Minus Thurs night since I have a yearend work dinner function and of course, I'll be baking cookies for blue that night, Which means that I'll be eating cookie dough :S

2hr+ of vball
intense 4 of 5, woke up today sore ALL OVER :S
New Goals before The CRUISE!
(1) limit cheat meals - I don't cheat that often to begin with but I'd like to STOP going out to eat with Rob since we tend to go all out and overeat. I would like to plan my cheats in advance so I don't get down on myself. Elinating fast food no question. If I go to restaurants (ie someones bday, work functions, ill try to eat has healthy as I can).
(2) do more weights. I'm going to try weights with Rob (Body 4 Life style) this week. Currently, I get some weights in my rountine (ie turbojam, my classes), but nothing that focuses on core body parts. I'd like to start to see if I at least like it. And if I do, i'll tweak my program. Aiming to start upperbody on Thurs or Fri during the day (gym open till 4pm).
(3) I'm not looking to lose any weight. I'm ok with my size I'd just like to tone up. I havn't acutately weighted myself as of late but I usually hover between 120 - 124ish lbs. Not concerned with numbers, I just want to look good! I'd like to build my upperbody strength and of course, I'd like to see more definition in my Abs. Its getting there. I see a 1 pack lol.
(4) I need to mention this, I would really really like to do ONE FULL unassisted PULL UP! And since I can do normal pushups (woohoo!) I'd like to also do normal tripcept pushups (10 straight, non girly).
Currently, my workouts are as followed:
Sunday: 1hr 15min bootcamp
Monday: 1 hr Cardio Pump and Crunch (weights and cardio)
Tuesday: B4L Cardio or Circuit!
Wednesdays: Weights on the Ball 1hr
Thurs: ususally up in the air. Sometimes this is my rest day, sometimes I do TurboJam or do a class (low and tone)
Fri: TurboJam weights 40min
Sat: Rest day usually
The above will change if I enjoy B4L weights enought to tweak my workout routine.
i tell you this all the time but i will put it out here too. if you start doing a set weight routine, you will get amazing results and have a kick ass bod easily before the cruise! you are doing really well as it is, but if you add training like BFL weights, all your goals that you mentioned will come 10 times faster! i guarantee you will be impressed if you give it a solid chance!
Yea do some weights! I'm kidding! You may actually see me back in classes, depending on how next weeks workout routines go.
PS. Like I told Shei. If you do the pictures, I will! lol
Do the pictures for Peter!
Peter in the HOUSE!

* did TurboJam Weights @ home (40min with 7lbs weights
* added some of Wendy's move from TMC Ball Class and the end of routine
* 20min TurboJam Cardio
* I was feeling good so i added in some pushups:
10 regular pushups
10 tricept pushups (on knees)
10 downward dog pushups
By this time, I could hardly finish the downward dog pushups I was in so much pain. Glad that I pushed myself hard enough that I was feeling fatigued in the end!
proud of you! keep up the good work!
So here is my plan.
* YES I AM IN FOR PICS WITH PAM SPRAY!
* introducing more WEIGHTS into my program. This Friday I will be trying the B4L weights (legs) with Rob. Next week (day to be decided) I will try the upperbody weights. After that, I will work these 2 days (and maybe 3?) into my workout regime.
This means that I may have to drop some classes. Ie. Wendy's TMC on the ball and Thus Low & Tone (which i don't do all the time anyways). But this is yet to be determined. For sure, Sunday bootcamp and monday Cardio Pump and Crunch I will attend.
* After next week I aim to have a set rountine schedule. Woohoo countdown too beach bodies people!
* and finally, PETER get the FUK out of town!!
HAHAH FUCK OFF PETER!
omg, our boxing workouts are intense! it's not a class, though eddie used to do the class at the gym; instead, its just combinations of a lot of boxing moves! i love it!

Looking forward to doing B4L weights at the gym today with Rob!
Hey Mary,
I've decided to do the pam pictures too (if i'm not too late in letting Rob know as I wasn't on the comp yesterday).
Anyhow, you're so funny you noticed the lechon that I ate one day. I thought i'd try to see if anyone read my page. clearly you do. And I know Rob read's my page and doesn't hesitate to make a fob comment (which I don't mind), but I wanted to see if he noticed the lechon i ate. Needless to say, you were the only one, my friend.
So you're changing your routine? me too. I won't be going to the thursday class anymore either...
Friday March 22nd
Meal 1: protein shake with milk, 1 flax toast with butter, boiled egg yum!
Meal 2: (postworkout) had a little bit of rice and tillipa @ Rob's but I didn't like it so I had to eat yogurt and a protein bar!
Meal 3: asparagus, salmon, wild rice
Meal 4: protein shake with milk, FF yogurt
The Workout
BFL Leg Workout with Rob.
Not too sure how to describe the different excercises. Rob can you do this please! Also did some skipping, pushups, and the spinning bike.
Basically it was my first time using some of those machines at the gym. I had a lot of fun doing it too! I surprised myself with how much weight I could push. Rob said I even outperformed him on one part. And my calf raises were impressive he said! I liked how I got to at least try the routine to see what weight I could do. Overall I found it challenging, but for some excercises, I know I can push myself even more.
I woke up today with really really sore legs so I know I worked out hard. Next, I'll try the BFL upper body!
Good Job Mary!
Sat March 23rd
Meal 1: protein shake with soymilk, 1 flaxseed toast with butter
Meal 2: brown rice, 1 piece multigrain tillipa
Meal 3: (postworkout) @ Swiss - chicken and rice, shared chicken noodle soup with Rob, took a bite or two from his chicken wrap!
Meal 4: @ Caseys - rice, mahi mahi with mango salsa, peppers and zuccini (Rob and I went to a bday party and I'm proud to say we ordered well, avoided all apps and did NOT have any cake!)
Meal 5: protein shake with soymilk
The Workout
BFL Upperbody Weights - shoulders, triceps, biceps, back, chest
15min cardio on tredmill
Again, I can't really describe the routine in general as I just learned it. Did all excersies with some supersets of stuff..that i can't explain properly lol. Basically, I really pushed myself hard today. I found a lot of the excersies challenging, esp when the weight got increased and I had to do lower sets. Totally sucked at shoulders -- major struggle for me. And biceps at the end were so difficult i was making my girly noise (Jay knows lol). Overall I really liked this routine. I like my classes, but I'm ready for a change. I've decided to start with 2 days of weights a week (one upper one lower) because I would still like to do my classes. Here is my new workout schedule:
Sunday: Bootcamp
Monday: Cardio Pump and Crunch
Tuesday: BFL Upperbody, cardio
Wednesday: TMC on the Ball
Thursday: Rest Day
Friday: BfL Lowerbody, Cardio
Sat: Rest day or TurboJam Cardio
The above can change depending on what I have to do that week (ie. work late, Vball, planned functions), but I'd like to keep the above schedule pretty consistent.
first off, i wanna say that you are doing a great job mary! realizing the potential of change is paramount to success! secondly, i wanna say that if any of you girls, or even boys for that matter, wanna see what pushing hard is, watch mary workout. this is something totally new to her and unlike me or jay or bas, she is totally unfamiliar with the exercise and the weights she has to do. however, i have told her again and she is a testament to this, IT IS NOT THE WEIGHT THAT YOU PUSH, BUT THE EFFORT YOU PUT INTO PUSHING THE WEIGHT. she did alot of weight (alot more then i expected), but more importantly, she never gave up or stopped. when she was failing at rep 6 of a 12 rep set, she toughened up and forced out 6 more with PERFECT FORM! crazy shit! i was totally impressed with you today mary, and i guarantee that if you take this work ethic and drive for the next 6 weeks, you will hit all your goals! great stuff!
Hey Mary! My weight days don't fall on the same days as yours. Boo!
Sunday March 23rd
Meal 1: protein shake with soymilk, 1/2 WW bagel with butter
Meal 2: Small portions of fried rice, roast beef, lasagne, potato chops
Snack: Cheat! I had a scoop of vanilla ice cream, 1 cookie, and 2 mini lindor chocolate eggs
Meal 4: shrimp and rice, pork roast
Meal 5: FF yogurt, protein shake with milk, 1 boiled egg
The Workout
20min BFL Cardio
Intensity 5.0 to 9.0
I'm a little disappointed with my diet today. Only cause I said that I wouldn't cheat at my family party. Lunch was ok. Yes, I had some fried rice but I didn't eat a lot and wasn't stuffed (like I usually am). Props to Rob for not getting seconds. I told myself I wouldn't eat dessert but its hard when you are around the fam and everyone is piggin out lol. SO i had bit of ice cream and some of the kids chocolate so sue me!! I was weak but I enjoyed myself and didn't go over the top.
Overall, I was SUPER LAZY today. Didn't end up doing cardio till 9:30pm. Big thanks to Rob for making me do it. I think a big part of it was the fact that i'm sore all over. BfL WEIGHTS IS AMAZING. It totally took me by surprise. After 2 days, I still can't walk properly from the leg workout. I'm sore from upperbody yesterday but its not as bad. When done properly this weight program is wicked! Its such a challenge and I love it! I hope I'll be ready for the PAM pics :)
My workout this week will be a little different. No bootcamp today since it was Easter. Wed, I will be going to teh Raptors game with Rob so it wil be my rest day. TO make up for it, I'll do some sort of cardio on Thursday.
great job with the workouts and especially the weights! you really are killing it!
and bout hte cheats, its all good. we are all supposed to indulge every once inawhile and you dont do it often, so enjoy!

Meal 5: (postworkout) protein shake with soymilk and starwberries, 1/2 WW bagel with cheddar
The Workout
BFL Weights - Lower Body
20min B4L Cardio - Tredmill
Rob upped some weights for me and added more supersets, I loved it! I was struggling like mad with the thigh machine or whatever its called. Burned out early and felt bad. So I went back on it again and Rob pushed me to do another set of 20!
Overall my legs weren't feeling as Jello-ish as last time, maybe its cause it was my second time doing the routine? Anyways, it made me feel like I didn't work out as hard. I take that back cause the longer I sit on my bed, the tighter my legs are feeling (aka they feel dead).
Running on the tredmill was a challenge. Legs weight like weight and knee felt weird. Ran the B4L but lower intensity then normal. Still pushed for 9.0 in the last minute.
Also, I forgot to mention... I have this weird phobia of eating carbs right before I crawl into bed. For example tonight! I know that it is postworkout and I should eat a lot of carbs.. but it makes me feel weird to do it if I go the bed right away. I had a shake and 1/2 a bagel (even though Rob told me to eat the whole bagel), I couldn't make myself do it lol. I threw in a few strawberries into my shake but I know it isn't enough. Any thoughts anyone?
thoughts? yes, listen to rob and eat the friggin carbs!
you kicked ass with the workout! dont get so down on yourself! i think you did better then most of the guys did when they first tried BFL in terms of effort, and this is only your 3rd workout!

The Workout
BFL Upper Body
Pushup Cycle (took turns with Rob)
- started at 10, the 9,8,7 and so on (mixture of girly and regular)
20min BFL Cardio - Tredmill
Overall, I had an awesome weight workout and I think I really challenged myself. Added some new machines and some different supersets. *Dirty looks to Con and Jay for calling me Simba*
Anyways, Rob and I played around with the rountine again. I think we are finally figuring what works for me and what doesn't. Did an extra set of the back workout cause I wasn't feeling it. I'll start using the pullup machine instead, and I'm finding it quite the challege. Also that back thing we did (near the cheating light) really started killing the lower back. Chest was good as well, once again started burning out by the end but thats my goal!
Upped the weights on biceps from last week, woohoo! And I was trembling so I know I worked hard. Triceps were ok, I think I can still push myself more. Shoulders were the biggest challege. Burned out quick and Rob had to spot me and lower the weight (thanks!!)
Overall, I think I did really well. Have to work on confidence a bit more and not getting upset when I don't do an excersise properly. Feeling the soreness this morning which is good. STILL feeling the leg pain from Tues workout.
Workout schedule changed this week. Cardio today (FRI), and B4L weights possibly on Sat.
good job simba....err mary lol. once you get the confidence up, you will kill it even more! honestly, im very impressed with how you have been doing!
i agree!! good job!!

The Workout
1 hr Mind Body and Core Yoga
BFL Lower Body
10min on Spinning Bike (intervals) - 1 min standing (increased intensity), 1 min sitting (lower intensity)
Awesome workout today. It started with the YOGA. I decided to do it since I was feeling really stiff. It was a good stretch for me. I suck at yoga though, I cannot even touch my toes. But i'm working on it lol.
BFL weights today was awesome! Trained with Tracy and Tina (with Robs assistance and Lou supervising lol) and we worked SO HARD! I'm proud of you ladies :) Out of all the lower body workouts I've done, this one was the most intense. I think it was becuase Rob was a ninja and increased the weights on several machines. Apparently, I was lifting 15lbs more on the squat machine thing then I normally do, on each side! I was wondering why I was dying out so early.
Once again, thighs were the big challenege. Felt the burn early and had to take several breaks. Enjoyed the calf raises (its always funner with a little WHOOP WHOOP!). Hams weren't too bad, I think I could have upped the intensity - the last set of 12 didn't tire me out as much as the other excerises. All supersets were quite the challeges. Least challenging would have been the Hams superset. I think next time, I would like to hold a weight in the other hand. I also would have paid money to see Tina drop the bar and fall on her face. I can't believe I missed that!!
Pushed the girls to ride the spinning bike with me. I thought what the heck, we might as well. A great way to end the night with a little intense cardio.
Great job yesterday Mary! Honestly. I would never have thought that I could ever do that. Especially after seeing you do it! I was so scared! My legs are killing me! I can't even bend! lol! I can't wait for tomorrow! Once we get all our sets down we can start doing them regularly! Great work!

Today was suppose to be my day 6 of working out, and I was suppose to do cardio. However, I got sick and spent the entire day in bed. I woke up only to get food and eat, and then I would pass out. I think it was from the medicine I was taking.
Also, decided not to work out b/c I think I hurt my outside ankle a bit. It has been bothering me since Monday and it doesn't hurt, it just feels off. I was able to workout ok for the entire week until vball. I think all that running around made me put too much pressure on it and after we played, I was walking up the stairs and it was giving me a lot of trouble. So Rob made me ice it. Gave me some trouble at Bootcamp today as well :S

Quite proud that I dragged myself to class even though I felt so sick. Blew my nose between cycles and was feeling really hot (even though the room was cold). Ankle continued to give me problems...
keep it up CEO...
make sure the ankle doest get aggravated while your doing these exercises as that can set you back (hopefully it won't). Go light on it, but if its comfortable enough to do bootcamp then pump it up!!!

Planned rest day. Went to the hills aftershow.
This week I will probably only work out 5 out of 7 days. I would like to rest my ankle. I find it usually gives me trouble AFTER the workout, not during (except for bootcamp). I find that its tight when I walk up and down the stairs.
And now, i'm officially on antibiotics, cough syrup, AND I have an awesome nasal spary :S -- so I hope this does not effect my workouts this week in terms of my energy levels.

BFL Weights - Lower Body
Called in sick today, but still made it out to the gym. SO DIFFICULT finding energy to complete my sets. Was going through hot/cold flashes, and possibly was working out with a fever. Used lower weights, esp on squats but I still pushed it out and worked hard. I was sweating SO MUCH today at the gym, even before we started... and I never sweat easily.
Overall, I know I'm sick, but I'm glad I went. Thanks Rob for making me work out hard. Tradeoff was that he made me go to the doctor. I'm now the proud owner of a nasal spray now (woohoo twins tina!) and other meds :S
Also, no matter WHAT I ate, my stomach growled constantly.. ALL DAY! I wonder why.
Will assess the workout situation, depending on how I feel tommorow. I don't know if I can pull another today tommorow!
good job, Mary. you're hard core! Hope you feel better. btw, sorry for the emails & facebook msgs. I left my cell phone @ home yesterday and didn't know you texted me until I came home from work.
aaww mary! i hope you're feeling better today.. it was good you were sweating a lot at the gym - hopefully you can sweat out that sick feeling! keep it up! :)
i'm not sure completely but i don't think it's even benificial for you to work out during an illness as your body needs the time and rest to recover and let your immune system fight off the infections. Andmedication only reduces the symptoms associated with the illness, you need rest so you can be 100% at the gym.
But all the more to you for working out sick CEO, sure fire way to get double trouble vein.

Overall I had a quite horrible cheating/lazyass weekend. First cheat since March 21st :S
On Fri, I had a girls night and my friend cooked for us. I knew I would prob have to cheat as its is rude to pass up food when your friend spent so much time cooking dinner. This I can live with. The plan was to do cardio either Fri night or Sat morning. Since it took me awhile to get home from work, I opted to work out on Sat and make Fri night my rest day.
On Sat, I dont' know WHAT happened but I woke up at 12pm!! So I did not get my cardio in at all as the Cruise meeting started at 12 and I was still in bed. I rushed to Rob's house after a quick breakfast. I was hungry and ended up eating the yummy apps even though I prob shouldn't have. Then Dinner came around and it was Rob's mom's bday, no healthy options. I ate the chinese food and should have passed on the cake.. but I didn't.. boooo. Oh well, whats done is done.
I vowed to get back on track on Sunday, with no planned cheats till the cruise. I bought a bike which is awesome and took it out for 1/2 an hour or so. I was so much fun, but very tiring. My thighs were burning and yes the seat is very hard. I look forward to making biking a part of my daily cardio.
my butt hurts more than my legs. I think i'm going to sit on a pillow the next time we go biking this weekend.
all you ppl with bikes now
i better see some lance armstrong shit going on in 3 months!!
hey a cheat meal is good now and then, especially since we havent cheated since march 21! great job mary!

Meal 2: Meatloaf (ELGB), sweet potatoe, pineapple
Meal 3: protein shake w. soy, apple

Meal 5: lean turkey burger, white bun, ketchup, grapes

The Workout
45+min of outdoor biking
25min jog on the tredmill
The outdoor biking was awesome. Went longer then yesterday, but still was struggling a bit. I'm just not as fast as the others and when I try to keep up, I just tire out. Oh well, baby steps. 2 days in and i'm feeling good. Gotta work up to that 50k!
As for jogging, I threw in the extra cardio while Rob was doing his weights. Kept it low since legs felt like lead anyways (5.0). Watched the Penguins vs. Ottawa playoff game and time flew.
You are doing great with the biking. Don't worry about not going as fast as Rob or I. Believe me when I say that I tire faster than you do to keep that pace up. Also, you should play around with the different gears more. By using different gears in appropriate situations, you can use your energy and effort more efficiently, which will help you keep your speed up while tiring less quickly. Keep practicing! I enjoyed the ride as well!

BFL Weights - Upper Body
Elliptical Machine - 20min
Weights were hard as usual. I think it was harder for me possibly because of the 2 straight days of biking. But... doing weights I sometimes get so frustrated I defeat myself and allow myself to get upset. Like if I can't lift as much as last week, or I take more breaks then usual. It just gets to me and effects the rest of my workout. Something I need to work on...

Today was suppose to be my rest day, but I went to Baseball practice. Pretty much felt like a good workout. Threw the ball around, worked on some plays... until I took a line drive off of my lower shin/ankle. From then on it was all pain and me hobbling/standing around. So I don't really count yesterday as much of a workout.

Outdoor Biking - 20km
Took us about 1hr40min to do this route with breaks. Overall, kept a good pace. The only prob was the wind, which seemed to play a big factor in my ability to tire.
Honestly, did NOT mean to cheat tonight. Once I got to the party, all that yummy food was starring me in the face, and my growling stomach gave into temptation lol. It was good to get the junk in my system, cause I don't think I'll crave it again. The wings were not good to begin with and I felt gross afterwards. Oh well, lets make up for it tommorow!!!

Excited to get back on track in full next week as I have bootcamp! and Mondays class, and I will need to start training for the ride on June 1st.
keep it up!! or else we'll have to revaluate your CEO position!! haha
