Diary of a crazy WW

[WonderWoman]

Decided to start a journal up in here with my training rants….

For those of you that don’t know, I am training to become a bodybuilder. I have a show in May and June 08, that I am prepping towards. Bounce, I hope to see you there, lol.

I am currently 5’6”, not sure of the # from the scale since I haven’t weighed myself in about 6.5 weeks, but last I was @ 134. 8.7 BF.

I do that dreadful cardio 4xs a week and weight 3-4 times a week (legs 2xs a week).

The lean muscle will be coming on this winter and it can’t happen soon enough. Its funny I was telling my wo partner last night that somedays I miss my old voluptuous size 8 body… but I really love all my new muscle and am totally obsessed with my legs and abs. He swears I am an exhibitionist and I agree (he will literally call me from across the gym to go show off my Abs to someone.. who is the exhibitionist???? )

Ok, here is my training from last night:

Chest:
Incline press – smith:
50x12x3
90x8x1

DB flat – wide twisting wrists inwards @ the top:
25x10x2
30x10x1
35x8x1

lever dips:
100x10x2
125x10x1
150x6x1

21s on seated cable press – mid, lo, upper:
15x21x4

Biceps:
Standing curls:
15x20x1
20x16x2
25x10x1

Cable curls – curly bar:
15x10x2
20x10x2

Con curls:
10x20x2
15x12x2

30 minutes of cardio, 3.8 speed @ 10 – 15 incline. Burned 449 calories!

Tonight we are doing back, abs and some more dam cardio.

Thanks Fits.. oops forgot to add that. Currently I am taking some vitamins: every woman, omega 3, primrosa, BCAAs, but I get those in my powder. I eat roughly about 5-7 times a day. I swear I get up sometimes in the mid of night and could eat, I am hungry at the time too. My cals started @ 1900 when I cleaned up my diet, they are now @ 2300 or so because I was just burning through the 1900 that I was experiencing hunger at various times of the day. My meals are mostly FOOD, with a possible yogurt w whey or whey shake. I rather have clean food. I drink about 16oz of water ½ hour before each meal, except the last one in the evening. I am currently taking melatonin to help me sleep because I was having a hard time sleeping through the night. The mind is wandering mostly at night, lol.

I had stopped taking the tonin about 3-4 weeks ago and then just started it back up last week. I noticed though that I had developed some acne in my right shoulder??? Could this be from the tonin? Not sure, or maybe I had a few days last week, that I threw my diet out the window for a few meals.

But am back on track. About to have some chicken, yam, broccoli.

Good idea wonderwomen, keep it updated.

As far as the sleep issue, try Valerian root at about 1500mgs.

I would drop the melatonin. Has been shown to have some negative sides and not all that effective in helping sleep issues.

It helps me sleep but I've also been told its sorta addicting and has some negs to it. Valerian root? tea of sorts?

Tonin also gives me some wacky dreams.... They seem so real at times too... GRRRR!

Yes, I will TRY to update this daily..

Valerian Root. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp...entPage=search

The Tonin can have an effect on the body's ability to release natural Melatonin. Its not addicting in the sense that you crave it. It is addicting in the sense that once you use it, it can make sleep very hard once you come off it.

[THE BOUNCER]

i bet your legs are sore right about now.

mine are still pretty sore from training them 2 days ago.

[THE BOUNCER]

WW, you should also have a journal of your meals each day layed out just like you have your training.

It would make it easier for someone trying to follow your routine and diet.

[redback]

yeah post up ya diet

[WonderWoman]

Id be ashamed to post up all the crap that I have been eating the last few weeks. My diet has not been clean, but I will be cleaning that shit up come the 26th.

if you really want to be disappointed in me then here goes nothing:

rice, beans, chocolate, pizza, chips, ice cream, soda, you name it. I intoxicated my body with tons of crap and now its time for a detox. Take me a few days and I know the drill. Clean food starting tomorrow. To be honest, I needed it.. My body needed the shock and now its time to ride out the winter and clean up and shred up.

I forgot to mention the 3 vanilla vodkas with diet coke. BTW, I have been sticking to my meals, just adding all this other shit in. I had a bit of a mental setback, time to tear that shit back up!

its good for the mind to eat like that sometimes. don't view it as a negative. now get back in gear!

I do need to view it as a negative, so that I can use it to push out positive force. Thats what works for me, lol. I have a good friend ahem, that is a personal trainer more like a walking 6 Foot, 255 pounds of lean big ass knowledge. This guy is a beast, he knows his stuff to the nines and is ALWAYS knocking on me to make sure I use all my mental demons to work for me in this lifestyle. He has taught me how to really let my MIND work for my body, ahaha! although sometimes I think his mind is on my body .... He is sorta like my mental mentor and JOHN is my physical mentor. Funny thing about my friend B, he hasn't seen me in about 7 months. LOL, I posted pictures on his forum a few weeks back and he right away, was shocked that I made such big changes in such short time. He actually asked me what I was on??? I ripped him a new one for sure.. but he was proud of me, either way.

Anyhows, I use alot of negative in my life and in this sport and turn it into adrenaline, its what drives me. The possibilities are endless..

Aight off today to do some errands and then cardio around noon and weights @ 5pm. I am gonna do this for a few days till I go back to work on the 2nd and then back to normal schedule.

I am also gonna start jumping rope for cardio. I have a friend that boxes and has some NASTY moves in jump rope, he promised to get my ass moving that fast too - no pun intended, ahem.
