I'm Still Here!
Yeah I'm still here checking the posts everyday, just still not feeling better, fever came back today so it will still be a couple of more days. Sorry Your Royal Heinie Garrett. (Yes, I said Heinie as in buttocks)!
Keep up the good work
Im glad that everone is starting to post. Garrin your daughter is beautiful and she looks very healthy. We are doing great Kari need some modivation and Kristen I think that you are only one to give it to her. She is feeling very discouraged I hope we can get her up and going
Eric Where the heck are you. I saw that you are sick hopfully you get better fast. We need to get you going quick.
Kristen It sounds like you are really moving. I forgot about the nursing thing so ya keep it up nursing is more important and from what I have read you will loose more weight as you nurse anyway. See if John want so join the blog. he is probably just as bussy as I am with school but I know that 30 minutes a day is doable
Misty try to do somthing every day even if it is only 20 minutes. You are doing great. We need to give Chris and Brett a call and get them back on.
Here is my work out for the last couple of days.
Monday
Run 3.33 miles in 30.50 minutes
Tuesday
Bike 6.894 miles in 30 minutes
Pusups 60
situps 36
Wed
Run 2.988 miles in 30 minutes with interval trianing
I noticed that my weight drop had stoped for about 2 weeks so I changed up my workout by starting to do interval trianing to do this I would raise the incline 1 point every minute untill I reach an incline of 8 then I would start over at a speed of about5.7mph.
Now the weight is starting to come off again.
Lession you must change up your workout every once in a while to keep you body guessing whats coming. So your body does not become adapt to the same workout and your progress stops.
By the way I weighed in at 195 this morning that is 25 pound lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yo!
Thanks Garrett, I'm glad to know you're proud of me! I lost 3 lbs last week. The workouts are going really well. I think I'm going to need to start pushing my self harder, but I'm afraid of over-kill. I don't want to get hurt or anything (and I'm so out of shape it wouldn't take much!). I didn't work out Friday or Saturday as Friday night we had commitments that started too early in the evening to allow a workout, and Saturday's I have Evelynne all day (at least 16 hours) alone while John is at work. It gets crazy. And have I mentioned that she won't take naps when I"m home with her?
But I'm back on the wagon. Today I will do the arm workout I was supposed to do on Saturday, and I will walk for half an hour (around 4000 steps - the cardio from Friday). The pilates will have to wait.
I haven't hugely reduced my caloric intake since I am still nursing Evelynne at least twice a day...I'm having to find a balance so I can still lose weight AND nurse her...I'm shooting for about 1800 calories a day and I'm following the guidelines for the Body for Life - a lean protein, 1 serving carbohydrate and an ADDITIONAL serving of veggies...lots of fruits and vegetables. It's basically the same thing - just well balanced nutrition. It's going really well.
John and I got your email about going to the Grand Canyon. I'm totally down! We have mountain bikes but its too cold here to bike yet. And John works on Saturdays so we can't go anywhere for the weekends. But I'm sure we could think of something cause we would LOVE to meet you guys at the Grand Canyon for a few days. That would be really fun! Go team!

No Post
Sorry that I haven't posted in couple of days, I have been sick with a temp of 102.5 and have strep. So I won't be working out for a couple more days. This getting sick crap is getting old, going on 3 weeks!
Friday, February 20, 2009
Its that time of the week again.
Kristen it is good to hear from you just when I think that you arent here any more you pop up and give us all a suprise. great job by the way you should be droping weight like crazy, How is your eating are you sticking to a lower calorie diet. Kari has one that she has been following and it has been working great for her. It is not some fad diet eaither it is just a well ballanced diet based on a 1500 calorie diet per day. Call her if interested.
So here is the great once a week killer workout and boy today im paying for it, but I am seeing results and that is paying off. I am noticing the biggest changes in my upper body and my bench is slowley getting back up to the highest ive ever benched in highschool of 255# so hopfully in a couple of months I will be there again. The biggest thing that is bringing up the numbers though is the "Negative Lifts" after a set of those you are trashed the next day but according to "Men's Health" that is what jump starts you matoblisim or however you spell it. Kristen you should get John a copy at Wallmart He would probaly love it. Also Kristen did you get the message about meetingup sometime at the Grandcanyon this summer. You and John should get some Mountain bikes and start training so we can get some serious riding in.
Ok enough talk her is the workout.

suggestions
Hey everone I had a great day for a workout. Misty here are some suggestions. You must strengen your core as you go. Along with working on the big mucle groups you must train your core mucles to hold the weight you are lifting. This is often a vital part of a workout that everone misses. find the back extention machine and do 3 sets of 10 reps each time you work out and then on your days you are home make sure that you do 3 sets of 12 reps on a swiss ball. This must be done every day and as you do this you will notice that your posture is also being corrected and that you will slowly start to loose the back pain that often comes from heavy lifting. Also as you lift make small goals and keep track of you lifts on a piece of paper and make sure to take that same paper to the gym with you each time to track you progress. each time that I go to the gym i take a orange piece of paper that has the last workouts on it and I do one of two things I will look at the work out for last week and either try to do the same weight with more reps or try to do more weight with the same reps. Try to push yourself. I want to write more but my wife is nagging me to go to bed so I will post the workouts that I did today, Tomorrow.

Hello!
Wednesday i did cardio for 30 min and thurs cardio for 45 min. My plan is to add weights next week. any suggestions from all of you that are doing great with them. I was told once to start with biggest muscle groups because it gave me the biggest results meaning that by building large muscle groups i can burn more fat.. sounds right? Thanks Misty

Sorry, guys, I don't have internet at home right now, so I have to post at work and I forget...Oh, yeah, and I didn't work out AT ALL last week. Yuck.
Saturday I shoveled snow for 30 minutes. That counts, right?
Last night (monday) I walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill and then did chest fly's and chest press, 8 lbs for 1 set of 18, 1 set of 12 and 1 set of 8.
Today I walked for 30 minutes and did 3 sets of 18, 12, and 8 for the following exercises:
tricep kickback, tricept extensions, bicep curls, hammer curls, shoulder flys and extensions, and two back exercises I can't remember the name of. I also did one set of 15 each for regular abs and obliques (each side).
Kari, I like Coyote Ugly for great music...it's got some really upbeat songs. That's what I walked to last night.

Hello All
This is Misty. I'm Garrett's Sister. I needed some more motivation and support in my life so I decided to join this business! I had lost 65 pounds last year and then fell off the wagon and gained some back. My goal is to keep going and not gain back this time! Everytime I find a support buddy they back out on me so i'm joining this rehab program. "HI My name is Misty and I want to lose weight.... " and now everyone in unison ("welcome Misty")
well here's my week so far.
Monday 30 min cardio
Tuesday 30 min cardio
Wednesday 45 min cardio
Thursday 35 min cardio
I wanted to spend a few weeks just working on cardio and then start with weights so that should be an adventure. I need accountability so feel free to harrass me! See Ya! Misty

Just wait for the workout tomorrow it will be a killer. I expect to hit all the majior mucle groups and then get some cardio on top of that. I bet none of you will even touch my worout for tomorrow.
Their is some crap talk for you.
By the way I think it would be a good Idea for everone on here to get the magizene called "Mens health" this will give you lots of good tip and lots of good dicussion for the blog. Check out the article or workout called "The body Weight 200" Good stuff I did it the other day and I was sweating preaty good only into the second set. The other thing is that you can do all of this from home.

Garrett Post
Hey im sorry that I did not post for Friday and I will do better. I did workout and I think that im regressing. I need to change up my workout. Im currently looking for an upright excercise bike to change up the workout a little. I any of you see some good deal on some excercise bike let me know.
so here is some of what I did Friday
Run
30.25 minutes and for a distance of 3.248mi
and all the other norms such as pushup and situps
Today
I ran 30 minutes for a distance of 2.993 miles
60 pushups
36 situps
90 curls at 25#
I worked out with a guy who had me change up my workout at the gym and he had me do some lifts called negatives this is where you control the lift on the way down for a count of 3 then you have someone else lift it back up for you . He said that this stretches the mucle and boy was I sore Try it and see what it does for you. All of your lift including pushups do this negative control the decent of the lift.

CAUTION
I hope I didn't mislead any one in the Gallon of water daily. That is an optimum quantity. If you only get half a gallon that is great, but like I said if you are drinking other liquids you need to make sure you drink that much "more" water to flush out the toxins/salt you get from the "Sports Drinks". You should only drink a sports drink during or right after a work out as a recovery drink, not in the middle of the day and even then only if it is an extreme workout of high intensity movement and still only maybe 8 oz. Like Garrett said it is a shame to loose 400 cal. only to get 150-200 of them back chugging down a gatorade, if you don't need the carbs back just drink some water. But water alone doesn't give you the fuel needed to perform at your highest degree. Moderation goes a long way with the "Sports Drinks". But if water isn't what you're feeling at the moment, get a "Sports drink" over the soda. (Oh yeah get a straw too, it will save your teeth and your breath)! Here is another great link to a Water over Sports Drink article. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/hydrationandfluid/a/ProperHydration.htm
And hey why is it only Garrett and I talking about this? Do some research and let us know what you find. As much as Garrett and I like to think we know it all (which we do know a hell of a lot shiz, even we can learn something)! (I heard that Kari)! So jump in the conversation let us know what you find and think.
If I can offer any last bit of advice for today it would be to do your cardio and weight lifting workouts on different days. Cardio takes a lot of energy out of you, I would say more than lifting and you don't want to get hurt. And remember quality over quantity!

My workout for the past few days...
So I have been trying to really stick with doing cardio 3 days a week. And of course trying to stay on target with eating right!! It has been going good! Of course I have a great partner who is working his butt off, so that helps that we are doing this together!!
Monday- 20 minutes of cardio
Abs/push-ups
Wednesday- 20 minutes of cardio
Thursday- 20 minutes of cardio
I know that the 20 minutes isn't much, but I am working my way into a lifestyle change and a gradual time increase as I go!! I am already feeling better-crazy how out of shape I really was!! I am really proud of everyone making a commitment to making their lives healthier!! So, keep up the good work!!

I did not fall off the wagon
Hey guys and gals
Welcome Kristen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how can we get John on this?
Things are going great. I have finally broken the 200lb benchmark for my weight. This is the lowest that I have been in 3 years, it is great.
On the Fluid issue i would caution everyone to advance very slowly, it is important to drink alot but too much water is deadly. Also the drinks that are out to Aid you be carful of the calories becuse you dont want to run for half and hour burn 400 calories only to drink 120 of them back by drinking poweraid or gatroade. The other problem with these two drinks is the salt content. Water is the best overall.

Fluids
Garrin I hope you are feeling better, and welcome Kristin to a healthier better life!
I do know that you need to drink just over a gallon of water (4L) a day. Which is a ton of water, when you think you generally only drink between 2-3 cups of water a day, not even a quart! Also think of the salt intake you have each day. Salt sucks the water away from your vital organs very quickly especially your brain. Perhaps you should start by drinking a quart of water a day, and every other day add a pint to that quart until you are up to the optimal 4L daily.
Where we are working out (especially if followed with a moisture sucking suana sit) it is extremely important to get as much water as possible. Remember that juices, gatorade, and other drinks (my new personal favorite CHOCOLATE MILK) all contain water in them so add that to your 4L of liquid a day, NOT SODA! Soda is good tasting but won't do anything to help you, in small quantities it won't hurt, but won't do any good. Just make sure that more than half of your liquid intake is water, as it will flush toxins and other not so good things quicker. Hope this helps, I got the 4L factoid from a survival book I have by Les Stroud! Yeah he pretty much kicks butt!

GME,
FYI I thought I had lost 5 lbs in body mass and the guy I work out with said that was just water weight. You can slim down with going to a sauna. Or get sick and lose fluids. Has any heard how much fluids you need to retain to be healthy? I had just thought of this and need to ask my friend if there is a healthy level of fluids to have or not.
Bar Curls 60# 30
Triceps 60# 1 set of 10, 70# 20
Arm curls 30# 30
dips own weight 220lbs 5
Machine triceps 130# 30
Machine curls 40# 30
Preacher curls 50# 30

Recovery Drink +
If you're like me you can't afford to be drinking Gatorade or the like after each workout. And where water doesn't provide the much needed nutrients after a workout, try Chocolate Milk....YES I SAID Chocolate Milk! Check out this web site.
http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/news/20060224/chocolate-milk-new-sports-drink
So be a kid! Drink it up! ROCK ON! And remember that happy cows come from California!
