Broke the 15lb mark after 7 weeks!!!! :triumphant: :triumphant:Lying Tricep Extensions: 4 x 6 (15 lbs per arm), 1 x 15 (12.5 lbs each arm) All reps still had 1 in the tank except maybe bicep curls. Didn't muscle fail on last rep but don't know that I could have got another in. Didn't need to anyway as that was max rep range on all 3 sets! YAY!!!!!!!!

AshPS Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Man, you guys are beyond all that is awesome. This was a really nice thing to come home to today. I am tired and hurting and trying to get caught up now that they have started the new threads so please bear with me. I was going to explain everything here but I think I will just do it when I get my thread up. Hopefully no later than Monday. I am sad to say that my goals will have to change quite a bit for this challenge but I am going back into full recomp hopefully by the next one. Please bear with me while I find everyone and get back into things. LOVE EVERY ONE OF YOU..........SERIOUSLY. Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

AshPS Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Decided to go ahead and post updates here as far as what I'm doing. Ok, so here is how Day 1 of the challenge went for me. Here is what I managed to eat today:a protein shake (1 sc.) w/ 1 T. OJ conc.1 boiled egg1 boiled egg & about a c. of broccoli1 small banana & 2 T. PB This made the macros: 742 CAL / 53 PRO / 77 CHO/ 28 FAT On fluids I managed to get in 48 oz. And as for physical activity I got in a 15 minute walk before the burning pain in my inside upper thigh became too much and I had to sit. And, I can say this is definitely not a cardio activity, lol. Think more of a stroll......slowly. I might would have been able to walk farther but I find I am on it a lot more than I had anticipated. Just can't be avoided. I know the numbers on the macros and fluids are not great. But, since this is the most food I have had in 7 days I consider it progress. My hope is to spend this week getting these in line. Yeah, I need a better plan. Fat was too high in ratio to cals, protein too low. My stomach started to hurt and I couldn't get any more in. Gotta figure out how to get it more evened out. Can't eat more than 1 egg at a spell and the protein shake was tough at first but I did keep it down. And I do like PB but I also have to keep it limited as too much quickly nauseates me. Appetite really sucks. All in all I did eat (cleanly), I got fluids in and I moved. So at least it was progress. Have a fantastic Tuesday everyone!

AshPS Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Challenge Week 1 Day 2 Alrighty then! I am much happier with what I was able to do today. Macros: Still no appetite, but at least when I eat, hungry or not, it feels like it will stay down. Preferable. Protein Shake w/ 1 scoop & 1/2 a banana2 Egg Whites, 1 c. broccoli1 Whole Egg, 1 Egg White, 1 c. broccoliProtein Shake w/ 1 scoop & 1 T. OJ ConcentrateApple, 2 T PB Macro Totals: 1018 CAL / 89.5 PRO / 120.5 CHO / 26 FAT Cals & protein could come up a bit. Think CHO & Fats are about on cue. YAY!!!!! :triumphant: Pretty good I'd say for only my second day back at eating!Soon as I can do some shopping I'll add some chicken or something in. Fluids: I got 16 more oz. in than yesterday for a total of 64 oz. ! Halfway to my goal! Movement: Added 10 minutes to my walk today for a total of 25 minutes, again YAY! Felt pretty good. Didn't get the stitchy pain in my right side like yesterday. Only the uncomfortable pulling in the surgery area if I started walking too fast, but I was able to actually walk instead of hobble. lol And I started taking some HMB today which I am told can be helpful. Also water retention from the surgery and hospital stay must be coming off because my weight dropped 3 lbs this morning. Starting to feel like myself a bit again! That's both good and bad. Good because I like feeling better. Bad because it makes me unconsciously want to do more than my body is still ready for. It reminds me though! Wish everyone a fantastic Wednesday! Halfway through this week guys! Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

AshPS Posted November 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Challenge Week 1 Day 3 MACROS: Protein Shake (1sc.) w/ 1 T. OJ Concentrate3 Egg Whites, 1 c. broccoli1/2 c. ground turkey w/ taco seasoning, 1 small red potatoProtein Shake (1sc.) w/ 1 T. OJ Concentrate5 small dried prunes, 1 1/2 T PB Total Macros: 1185 CAL / 103.5 PRO / 122.5 CHO / 34 FAT (26%) Raised the CALS by 167 and the PRO by 14 g. and CHO & FAT are still in good ranges! not shabby. FLUIDS: Managed to get in 96 oz. today! That is 32 more oz than yesterday and only 32 oz from my goal amount! MOVEMENT: Increased my walk to a full 30 minutes today! And some of it was a bit uphill so got some extra exertion in. At this rate I should have my macros and fluids right on track by next week! Whoo Hooo! I am interested to see how I feel come Monday. If the discomfort is much better maybe I can put in some body weight or light stuff. Hopefully. Today's walk I didn't have any real pain, just an uncomfortable pulling sensation from the surgery site through my hip flexor area. Matter of fact, after googling a picture that is the area that bothers me most, the left hip flexor area. Must be where the work was done even though it is 3-4 inches below the actual incision. I get an intense burning sensation in that left hip flexor area when I change position while sitting or laying down. I mean SERIOUS owchie! I am very happy with my progress after only 3 days, but felt really.......bummed out today(?). Don't know if it's just an after effect of stress from all that's happened. Or my missing workouts. And tired. Not sleeping real great due to the discomfort. My appointment with the doc is December 2nd when I might get cleared to go back to the weights! Well, at least over 10 lbs.
