Killyourfeet Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 So I have been MIA for a few weeks. Life is better in some ways, worse in others. I have completely fallen off the fitness wagon Since I've been home, I have eaten 4 pepperoni pizzas, probably 4 litres of soda, 2 bags of cheetos, 2 boxes of cookies, 10 pieces of KFC chicken (on the positive side, probably the third time I've had KFC. On the negative side, probably the third time I've had KFC.), and many many pretzels. Also I have not exercised since December. Needless to say, I fee l like poo.Interestingly, I'm only back up to 220lbs. So I got that going for me. But, from here it is full speed ahead, guns blazing, rooty tooty fresh 'n' fruity. 1 Quote The Log The Music | The Food | The Silliness | The Vanity The Past Log | The More Recent Past Log The Man The Myth The Legend Link to comment
PaulG Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Glad to see you back. I was following your last log and I wondered where you went. I'll be waiting for your next post. Also, KFC's not as bad as it's made out to be if you eat it in moderation... I was checking out their nutrition facts on a lark today and some of their stuff has higher protein/lower calories than any fast food I've seen, even with the breading. Much better for you in moderation than pizza. Quote Cowardly Assassin Training Log | Challenges: Current, 8th, 7th, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st Link to comment

I suppose since the chicken itself remains basically intact with just a coat of bread on the outside, it would be better than ground up I-don't-want-to-know in a pan 1 Quote The Log The Music | The Food | The Silliness | The Vanity The Past Log | The More Recent Past Log The Man The Myth The Legend Link to comment
samanmoran Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Welcome back! Don't beat yourself up.I got blind stinking drunk on New Year's Eve, was seen in embarrassing photos and puked the next day, and I'm 41 years old.Psh. What's a few liters of Pepsi to that? KFCs not terrible. And just think, you've met your whole pizza quota for the first quarter if 2014, relieving you of the overwhelming burden of eating anymore! That must come as a relief.So, dust yourself off and get back in there.:-p Quote 42 ----Don't Chew what you should Eschew! Link to comment

Killyourfeet Posted January 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Thank you, guys! You're all so wonderful It is good to be back with you fine folks. Alrighty, let's take an inventory here. Weight: 220lbsFat %: Unknown (I am assuming the excess puddle I've gained in the last month isn't completely fat, just water. After a week on track, I'll measure.) Stats: Con: 4 Str: 3 Cha: 1 Dex: 0 Int: 1 Wis: 0 Goal: I'm still sticking with my space cats leggings goal (because yes); however, to this I am adding the following: Weigh 200 lbs by my birthday (which incidentally is also the same day as national Star Wars day. I was destined to be a nerd.) Which means I have 124 days to lose 20 lbs. Or 1.12 lbs per week. I think that's reasonable. Challenges: So my boyfriend (well, fiancé now ) has moved in with me after 2 years, and I couldn't be happier. However, he eats way way more than I do; and, like me, he tends to follow his stomach in what it wants. Which is fine, I like cooking anyway. But that being the case, it offers a very difficult-to-ignore temptation. I don't want to make him cut out things he likes (like potatoes; he's Irish, it would be almost sacrelige) but I like those things as well, so I eat them because they're there...So. I will be doing a risky dance with self-control these next few months. Because I have very little. That being said, let's give this another whirligig, shall we? 1 Quote The Log The Music | The Food | The Silliness | The Vanity The Past Log | The More Recent Past Log The Man The Myth The Legend Link to comment
Killyourfeet Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 So. As it turns out I am horrendously busy. I started making a post yesterday and wasn't able to finish because time is not my very best good friend it would seem.But I shall start over today, since I don't have class until 12:30 and I'm in the library Stats and such! Weight: 217.6 lbsBody fat: 26.5% Hooray, off to a good start! I'm still not all the way back into the healthy ways, my mom and I went to a restaurant yesterday and I had a bison burger and like 3 glasses of rootbeer (I don't care, rootbeer is yay) and we had pizza again earlier in the week. But, silver lining: I only ate half a pizza and am actively adding salads before these dinners so at least the grease has some greens to break its fall. New high scores!Squat: 100 lbsDeadlift: 100 lbsBench press: 70 lbs (I hate this kid but he's expressing my sentiments.) I'm a bit unsure of going to the gym again. I went once last week and, since I haven't been in a month, I was sore afterwards. Mostly in my legs and lower back. Also went yesterday and I'm still a bit sore. So I'm thinking I'll stall out for a week or two at my current weights to get back into it.Achievement unlocked! Glutton for punishment - Make it through the holidays and come out the other side without completely ruining all the work you've done to improve yourself. +20 pointsAchievement unlocked! Never skip leg day - Squat and deadlift 100 lbs. +10 points That being said, new stats! +1 to STRStats: Con: 4 Str: 4 Cha: 1 Dex: 0 Int: 1 Wis: 0 Also, personal success: I have not yet purchased food at the cafeteria at school this semester. I cannot express how difficult it is to walk by Panda Express all the time and not look over my shoulder and see that panda, its doleful eyes full of hurt and questioning of my betrayal, and all I can do is whisper, "I'm so sorry" as I turn and walk away as Boys II Men starts to play... Ok, not really. But it does smell oh-so-good. 2 Quote The Log The Music | The Food | The Silliness | The Vanity The Past Log | The More Recent Past Log The Man The Myth The Legend Link to comment
Basement Cat Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Good job, Anneh! A stumble is better than an outright fall! And don't worry, the soreness will go away in good time.

Killyourfeet Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yowza. Is it Friday yet? It feels like Friday. Sooo long week. I miss checking up on everybody. My schedule is the suck I feel like I don't sleep. Anywhoozies. Couple good things about this week. Weight: 220.1 lbs I assume this is due to...woman stuffs that may be in my immediate future. Body fat: 26.3% It's lower than last week, I'll take it! An improvement is an improvement, dadgumit! Soooo funny story. I was at the gym yesterday, and the dude next to me is deadlifting probably 200 lbs. "Deadlifting". I may still be at the they-really-shouldn't-let-you-touch-the-equipment stage of weightlifting expertise, but even I can spot horrendous form. In comes the weight room hero. You know how some people just tend to be really really loud? Like, they're not doing it on purpose, but they somehow manage to make people in Tennessee go "the hell was that noise?" just by talking as they normally do. Yes. This guy rolls up, and says, "Hey man, you got really terrible form. I just mean bad. You're gonna hurt yourself." Only 50 times louder. Me: "Pretends to play with ipod and stretch..." Poor kid. I woulda died. But! I have a few new records. That whole "I'm gonna ease back into" idea? Yeah, that didn't happen.Squat: 110 lbsBench press: 80 lbsBarbell Row: 75 lbs (all I can say about this one is ow ow ow ow) Food-wise, doing better. My schedule makes eating more of a luxury than anything else, so I'm worried my protein intake is low, especially with pushing the weights. I got this nasty pre-made protein shake thing from the drugstore on Monday after lifting, tasted like a melted milkshake. Er, yesterday. Feels like ages ago. Hope y'all are doing well with your respective challenges! 1 Quote The Log The Music | The Food | The Silliness | The Vanity The Past Log | The More Recent Past Log The Man The Myth The Legend Link to comment
Basement Cat Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Aww, don't worry Anneh. You'll catch up on your sleep eventually. Good job on the new records! If the protein shake tastes bad, try making it with skim milk instead of water. It's going to add some protein without adding too many calories. Good luck and don't give up!

Killyourfeet Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Its Wednesday! I love Wednesdays. Because Odin. My goodness, yesterday was horriblay food-wise. I had a burger with an onion ring and bacon on it. And half a pizza for dinner. And a few cups of soda. And it scares me I don't feel as poo as I should. I'm getting used to mass amounts of junk again What I should do is make a bunch of food on...uh...a day when I have a few hours to spare. Which is...maybe...Fridays? Here's the thing, I'm a full-time student at 2 different schools. I'm taking 28 units I think. So cooking, as much as I love to cook, is difficult to squeeze in.But! Good things about today:1. I have not procrastinated2. Gym!Squat: 115 lbsDeadlift: 105 lbsBench press: 85 lbsI really want to start running again. I felt like more got accomplished. But I bet I'll be starting from ground 0 all over again 3. I'm making catfish for dinner!I've been watching a lot of Duck Dynasty lately. I wish I could live like they do. Go out in the woods everyday and make your own food.

Basement Cat Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Here's an idea: wear that beard of yours when you have to eat junk. That should help you fight the urge, considering how messy it would get. If you don't have much time for cooking, try making soups. I buy a frozen vegetable mix where they are all chopped up, toss that in some broth, add some tomato paste for flavour, maybe some chicken for protein, and boom! Easy quick meal. Or, you could get a pressure cooker, fill it in the morning and have food ready in the evening. Just make enough for both lunch and dinner. You're still doing good on the training. Don't give up! 2 Quote Current form: Chubby House Cat (lvl4) Weight objective: 20% S. 4 P. 6 E. 4 C. 7 I. 8 A. 4 L. 5 Battle log Current Challenge Handy linky. Link to comment

IronGlider Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi SillyAnneh! I didn't know you made a new thread, "and here I was sitting here waiting for your other one to get updated". So glad your back and ready for action! And gosh gal, you seem busy, and with that much going on, I totally get why you don't have the time to do things like cook sometimes. It's work experimenting with what @SilverRapier has said and seeing how that fits into your lifestyle. And with your fiance I can see how things are not necessarily easier for ya, but will definitely be that much more rewarding when you find the routine that works for you. It's a tough situation, but be sure to experiment and see what works for you, this is the journey to a great lifestyle. No one can just jump into it and expect sustainable without trial and error. We'll be there to help you with the high and lows, best of luck!

I'm aiming to make a trip to the grocery store (since we have basically just water and mustard in our fridge at the moment) and chicken with wild rice soup ingredients is on my list!Pressure cookers kind of freak me out. But crock pots! I like crock pots. I should invest in a crock pot. I have a little tiny one for onions, but I'd need a super serial one for soups. And beef. And such. I'm just rambling now, I'll stop. ^----This. Don't give up. You've got this.Thank you! I am plugging away Hi SillyAnneh!

I haven't played since the 15th and it hurts right down in my soul Thoughts?I feel good today Weighed myself this morning, back down to 217. So was just a water fluctuation. Which makes sense, my water consumption is by no means consistent lately. The whole make-a-buttload-of-food-at-a-time thing kinda fell through too.

Let the water chill for a few minutes. Dunk your face in the water. If that doesn't make you alert, nothing will! You're still doing great!
