Kaiba's Fitness Journal

[Seto Kaiba]

This is the begining of my fitness journal. I had been incorporating my fitness information in my regular journal, but for a faster reference, I've decided to start a "gym log".

[Seto Kaiba]

Lower body lifting: 10 lb ankle weights
Upper body lifting: 11 lb free weights

[Seto Kaiba]

Upper body lifting:
15lb free weights
(only did half a work out (chest and back) because my left hand is killing me.)

[Seto Kaiba]

No workout today. Despite the fact that I was going to use today as my rest day, I was incredibly sick. So I guess that I killed two birds with that one.....

[Seto Kaiba]

7 am: 1/2 Run/ 1/2 walk 1 1/4 miles (~12 minutes) 80 degrees/53% humidity

[Seto Kaiba]

Tomorrow and all cardio days hereafter:

Choose your outfit CAREFULLY!!!!! Do not wear size large spandex shorts. You'll be able to run more and walk less because you won't have to keep hiking the waist up from the hips and pulling the legs down to where they should be. :o

[Seto Kaiba]

Full Lower Body Lifting: 10 lb ankle weights.

[Seto Kaiba]

9 am- 1/4 run - 3/4 walk (a little more than a mile) I wanted to run more, but I've got a migraine from hell today. I wasn't going to go out, but I did.......

[Seto Kaiba]

4:45 pm: Upper Body Lifting

I'm doing it 45 minutes early, but I've got things that I want to get done. Otherwise, still on schedual.......

[Seto Kaiba]

Forgot to add this above:
10 lb free weights for the first set of 20, then 15 lb free weights until exhaustion.
My arms now feel like jello...... :)

[Seto Kaiba]

8:30am: Yoga and stretching.
I've started to get so tight I decided to just stretch. I needed it, and now that I'm getting un-bloated I'm feeling better.

[Seto Kaiba]

Lower body lifting - 10lb ankle weights
I need to get some heavier weights

[Seto Kaiba]

Upper Body Lifting: 15 lbs weights, to muscle exhaustion (approx. 2 sets of 20 reps.)

My arms feel like jello, yet the muscles are really tight. I need to stretch them out some more.

[Seto Kaiba]

Due to an unexpected family illness, I'm going to have to modify my workouts for approximately 4 days. I really don't want to pack up my free weights and drag them 300 miles and there is no where for me to lift. I'm thinking of increasing my cardio and incorporating some isometrics to tide me over.

[Seto Kaiba]

5:30pm - 30 minutes full body motion stationary bike.

I feel good.......:)

[Seto Kaiba]

5 pm: Upper and lower body lifting

I'm so sore. I did 2 sets of 15 reps or 3 sets of 10 using 11 lb weights. I am so sore..........

[Seto Kaiba]

I am debating with myself at the present time. My workout schedule is as follows:
Monday:
Cardio and Lower Body Lifting

Tuesday:
Cardio and Upper body lifting

Wednesday:
Cardio and Lower body lifting

Thursday:
Cardio and Upper body lifting

Friday:
Upper and Lower body lifting

Saturday:
Optional

Sunday:
Rest

I have stuck to my schedule since last Friday (when I made it......) and did upper body (Partial) on Saturday.

I'm not sure if I want to give myself an extra day (today) to recover or not............

[MstyDragon]

Okay, I know this is not a democracy, but I'd vote rest considering how sore you have been. You have been doing great!!!!:cheer:

[Seto Kaiba]

I have taken the advice of my friend :D and my body and decided to rest yesterday and today. Still feeling pretty good!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

My measurements for the week:

Part/Last week/today/ total change this week
Fore arm/8.25/8/-.25/

Calf/13/12.5/-.5

Lower thigh/16.75/16.5/-.25

Upper thigh/27/26.75/-.25

Waist/32.75/32.5/-.25

Hips/ couldn't get the same reading twice

Lower stomach/41.75/41.5/-.25

Total inches down since last week: 1.75
Total inches lost since 3/01: 30.5

My lifting in the past week has really paid off.....

[Seto Kaiba]

12:30 pm: Lower body lifting 10 lb ankle weights

I switched up the rotation that I have been doing my lifting and BOY what a difference that made!!!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

5:30 pm: Full body motion stationary bike

I was thinking about skipping out on cardio today, but I didn't.....

[MstyDragon]

Seto,
you are amazing!!! Look how all your hard work has paid off!!!!! :cheer: I want to be like you when I grow up :D

[Seto Kaiba]

You want to grow up? :lol: I don't!!!!!!!

Thank you for the complement. I need to just stick with this. I feel 150% better when I workout. My energy is up, which is worth it in general!!!!!! (ok, that and I want to look 18 for the rest of my life. :D I'll admit it, I like high school boys hitting on me.)

[Seto Kaiba]

1pm: upper body lifting
Yoga

I took an ECA stacker this morning. I'm trying to get a little more cut before this weekend (It might all be mental, but I believe that it helps. :) ) Now I've got too much energy!!!!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

No cardio:
this has been a shitty day. One of those days that tests a person........ :(

[MstyDragon]

Seto,
I know this has been a Heck of a day for you :( Hang in there. At least you have been on track with working out, so you will be able to handle the stress better than if you didn't workout. Not much help I know :there: Hang in there.


Msty

[Seto Kaiba]

Msty,
You know, I never thought about that.......... Could my constant working out be responsible for making it so much easier to stay on LC?

[MstyDragon]

Seto,
it wouldn't suprise me if the exercise was at least part of your success. I think it helps with emotional eating,as does LC. It's like hitting it from two directions at the same time :D


Msty

[Seto Kaiba]

2 pm: Lower body lifting 10 lb weights

I've been continuing to have a crappy day, so I really didn't want to work out, but I did and I'm feeling better for it. :D

[Seto Kaiba]

5:25 pm: 35 minutes on the Full body motion stationary bike.

I know that the extra 5 minutes won't make up for the 30 minutes I lost yesterday, but it's a start........

[MstyDragon]

Kudos to you for working out when you didn't feel like. I think that the exercise I've been doing lately has been lifting my mood and helping me stay on LC. I bet you are going to be ripped :D

Msty

[Seto Kaiba]

In all honesty, I think that's why I keep pushing myself to exercise is that I really DO want to get thin and in shape this time. I've basically come to the conclusion that I don't care what anyone else thinks. :D (I'm doing a rant on this in my main journal. :lol: )

[MstyDragon]

I like your rant :D You brought up some good points that we all have to face(especially women) when we get thin and beautiful :D

[Seto Kaiba]

My rants can occationally contain substance :D

[Seto Kaiba]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that I'm going to cry!!!!!!!!!!! I just finished my upper body lifting.
I had just finished up my curls (11lbs 2 sets of 25 reps) and I leaned back to start my chest work and cracked the left side, back of my head on the corner of one of my 15 lb weights (the grey metal ones) OMG!!!!!!!!!!! It hurts soooooo bad and I've got a huge bump on my head.
I took 3 ibuprophen and am carrying on (it's not bleeding at least). Needless to say, the rest of my workout has been reduced to 6 lb weights 2 sets of 20. (I'm resting for a few minutes before I finish) I don't feel so well right now..........

[Seto Kaiba]

Finished upper body lifting from Part I
40 lunges (each leg)
40 squats
30 minutes on the Full body motion stationary bike

Still feeling kind of crappy, but that's excepted because that REALLY hurt!!!!!!!

(I keep forgetting my little sig file thing......)

[MstyDragon]

Seto,
that has got to hurt! :( Dang, and you kept working out. I don't know how you do it! :lol:

[Seto Kaiba]

That's how I do it. :D I was pissed for bashing my head, pissed for things that were said to me yesterday and that motivated me. I thought about those things and probably worked out a little harder than I should have..... :o
Other than still feeling a bit spacey, I feel ok. I'm not planning on doing anything strenuous or otherwise mind-wracking today. I can't even seem to spell or type at this point. LOL I need a nap.........

[Seto Kaiba]

5:30 pm: 30 minutes full body stationary bike

Ok, I lied..........so much for nothing strenuous. This now completes my make up for missing cardio on Tuesday.

I forgot to add that I ran up and down 3 flights of stairs yesterday (for whatever that's worth.........)

[Seto Kaiba]

It seems that the more cardio I add, the more bloated I get. I think that I need to just keep my cardio to maybe 15 minutes and add in more yoga and or walking. I seem to do better with those than with the bike at this point. :(

[MstyDragon]

Seto,

You did a lot yesterday! Did someone say something mean to you? I have been motivated by negative comments before, and it makes me push really hard in my workouts. Not sure if that is a good thing or not :confused: Hope your head is feeling better!


Msty

[Seto Kaiba]

For some reason, everyone has to take pot-shots at my intellegence. Don't they realise that all that does is make me go that extra length to show them up? :rolleyes:

As far as working out today: Nothing. Too much packing a running around. I might so some yoga later though, just to stretch.....

[Seto Kaiba]

I found out that my in laws have a weight bench and weighs, so I will be able to lift. :D I'm hoping to be able to find a VCR to do my belly dancing tape. (If I can find the tape...........)
I don't want to go too long without some heavy lifting......
I'm hoping to use today and Saturday as my "rest" days and start working out on Sunday....

[MstyDragon]

Seto,

that is great that you will have access to weights. I hope you find the BD tape...let me know who it goes. :D

[Seto Kaiba]

11 am: walked 3 miles

[Seto Kaiba]

I have been kind of falling down on the exercise thing. I miss lifting, but I've been doing walking instead. I'm going to definately get back into it full force after "vacation's" over.

[MstyDragon]

Hi Seto,
I bet you miss your regular weight lifting. But, at least you are walking! Way better than nothing :daze:


Msty

[Seto Kaiba]

I do miss it. :( I can't wait to get back to it. If not tomorrow when I get back home, but Friday. I would like to try to do some yoga tonight.

[MstyDragon]

Hang in there Seto,

You'll be home soon won't you? Did you ever get a chance to do the BD tape? :cool:

[Seto Kaiba]

Yep, we're heading home tomorrow. No luck on the BD tape, but we have inherited a VCR so I can do the tape in the living room now! :D

[MstyDragon]

A new VCR is great! Now you can do the BD tape! :thup:

[Seto Kaiba]

I don't know if it's the cause, but it seems that around the time I get it into my system my temper starts to flare up. So starting today, no more ECA stuff. :(

[MstyDragon]

sounds like Hydroxycut is a problem...let me know if it helps. :)

[Seto Kaiba]

Tomorrow I'm getting back on track tomorrow. Here's my "new" plan:

Back to heavy lifting (higher weights)
Killing my cardio
No weight loss supplements

[MstyDragon]

Seto,

here's three cheers for you(okay, so I can't count....LOL).



:cheer::cheer::cheer: :wave: :cheer::cheer::cheer:


I know you cn do it!!! WOO HOO!!!! :sunny: days ahead!

[Seto Kaiba]

30 minutes Belly Dancing

I finally did it!!!! The whole thing!!!!! It's a lot easier than I remember it......... LOL Last time I did it (When I was on a LF diet :o ) I got about 11 minutes into it and thoguht I was going to die!!!!!!! Now my only problem is feeling like a clutz doing it. :o

Msty,
Thanks for the cheers and being the encouragement and motivation for me starting belly dancing again. :bhug:

[Seto Kaiba]

5:15 pm: Lower body lifting

[MstyDragon]

I think it is a great mood lifter! I'm glad that you have a place to do it now :D

[Seto Kaiba]

I just couldn't believe that my in-laws wanted to throw away a perfectly good VCR just because it didn't record, but that's ok. :)

[Seto Kaiba]

Why in the hell won't it let me post this pic?!!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

Ok, I'm happy now.

[Seto Kaiba]

30 minutes Belly Dancing
Upper body lifting

My calves are killing me...... It was so hard to get through the tape, but I did! I'm off to soak in a hot bath..........

[Seto Kaiba]

Forgot to add, I used 15 lb weight to exhaustion. (2 sets of 20 reps) It was soooooo hard. The BD tape wore my arms out (Not to the point of my calves though. I so need to stretch them some more........

[MstyDragon]

Sounds like we has about the same workout :lol: Isn't BD amazing? It works everything!

[Seto Kaiba]

I want to do my tape today!!!!!!!! :mad: My calves are so sore I can't move them :mad:
<sigh> no workout today.........

[MstyDragon]

Are your claves hurting just from the BD tape or something else too? Hope your calves are feeling better soon...just think how strong and lean they are getting :sunny:

[Seto Kaiba]

My calves from the BD tape and my upper body from the lifting. :lol: I'm just falling apart..... But my inches and weight is down! WOO HOO!!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

15 minutes upper body lifting.....15 lb weights, 10 reps, 2 sets

Still not feeling too perky. :(

[MstyDragon]

That is great! WTG!!!:cheer: Hope you are felling better soon! :sunny:

[Seto Kaiba]

Well, I kind of worked out. Yesterday I trimmed crap that's pouring over from my neighbors yard, and today I mowed the lawn and did more of the same as yesterday.

[MstyDragon]

Yard work is hereby declared a "workout" from this day forward :D

[Seto Kaiba]

Yard work!

[MstyDragon]

Seto,
it is a great video!!! :D I would get the basic moves tape first however.


:wave:

[Seto Kaiba]

I would just like to find 1 of the videos. :( That's going to be my "quest", if you will, tonight after I go to the hospital. Wish me luck!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

<sigh> Apparently they're really "cool" here now, because now NO ONE has them............... :mad:

[Seto Kaiba]

I've inherited an exercise ball. My mom bought one, but it will only hold up to 300 lbs, so she can't use it, so I bought it from her. I figure since my whooshie this morning that I should be ok on it. :D It's got a list of exercises for different body parts. I definately need the upper inner thigh one (It's the only place that's not moving :mad: )

[MstyDragon]

I think that my Mom got the last one here. There were no BD tapes left at all! I got my lst one at suncoast and it was the last of that kind they had. My sister wants one now, and I can't find one to send to her! I love BD!!!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

My mom told me that they're running commercials like crazy for them on TV now. :(

[MstyDragon]

No wonder they are all sold out. Have you seen that commercial? I have't seen one.....

[Seto Kaiba]

Msty,
Nope, I haven't see it either. :( Weird...........

[Seto Kaiba]

I'm back to exercising. I was enjoying watching the scale move in a downward direction, but now I'm wanting the inches lost more...........

[Seto Kaiba]

Arm, abs, legs, chest on the exercise ball.

UG!!!!! I am so shakey from that thing! It didn't even seem like I was getting that much of a workout until I stopped!!!!!!!! (reminds me a lot of yoga.........) I'm going to just try working with this before I jump back into the heavy weights (Might tone and define without the muscle bulking)

[MstyDragon]

Seto,
how do you know what to do with the ball? Did it come with a video or instructions? It sounds like a great workout!

[Seto Kaiba]

It came with this huge poster thing that has images and instructions on how to do the exercises. (I also had my personal trainer show me how to use it years ago......... She was a lousy trainer........ :rolleyes: )

[MstyDragon]

Are you still using the exercise ball? I know you've been working your normal killer hours, but are you going to use it on your days off? I need someone the get behind me and chase me to make me workout :lol:

[Seto Kaiba]

I used it on Thursday and that was about it...... :( I need to start lifting again. I just don't want to have my loss stall or gain because of muscle (I know, that sounds so lame.......)
If you chase me, I'll chase you... :D

[MstyDragon]

Maybe we can get a Doberman to chace us? I know one with Mole Breath that probably would love to have things to chase. We'd have to be on the otherside of the fence though..... :lol:

[Seto Kaiba]

LMAO!

[MstyDragon]

Mole Breath is good motivation not to be caught ;)

[Seto Kaiba]

Upper body lifting....... UG!!!!!!!!!!! :(

I've decided to get back to working out. I know that the scale will go up and all that. :( But I'm feeling so flabby and ichy without it. I can't believe how HARD it is to start lifting again!!!! OMDOYC!!!!!!! Sooooo hard!!!!

[Seto Kaiba]

60 crunches on the ball
50 push ups
leg work (20 leg lifts.)

[Seto Kaiba]

I've come to the conclusion that it's better to workout and have the scale go up, but have my butt get smaller. :( No one is going to see my scale number (Unless I tell them) But everyone can see my big, fat ass..........

[MstyDragon]

Sounds like you are back to the killer workouts!

[Seto Kaiba]

My back and arms are KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!! :(

[MstyDragon]

I hope you didn't hurt yourself!!! Good hurt or bad hurt?

[Seto Kaiba]

The shoulder was a bad hurt. :( I think that I twisted something...... but it's feeling better now. :) Hopefully it still feels that way in the morning..........

[MstyDragon]

Dang, be carefull there! That sounds painfull. Hope you are all better!

[Seto Kaiba]

This is my usual "I haven't done this in awhile, so I'm paying" pain.

Hoping to find the BD tapes today and do those!!!!!!

[MstyDragon]

It is hard to get started again, but just think, soon you will not be sore anymore! And you'll be buff :D

[Seto Kaiba]

Well, I finally broke down and ordered the bellydancing tapes and they were out for delivery ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: And since today is a holiday I won't get them until TUESDAY!!!!!! :mad:

That really frosts me............... UG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So TOMORROW!!!!!!! TOMORROW I WILL get my BELLY DANCING TAPES!!!!!! (OR ELSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :devil: )

[Seto Kaiba]

My tapes are here!!!!!!! I'm so happy! :D

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[Seto Kaiba]

[Seto Kaiba]

Basic Moves BD Tape: 10 minutes

[MstyDragon]

WOO HOO!!!! You finally got the tapes!!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: Don't you just love the way it helps your neck and upper back? I don't know about you, but I was somewhat sore from starting the tapes, but nothing too bad. It was a weird sore, like things were moving that didn't move before(like shoulders) and a soreness in the "core" of the body. I hope you are having fun with them!

:wave:



Msty

[Seto Kaiba]

Yep!!!! :D I'm definately going to be doing them again today!!!!!! :thup:

[Seto Kaiba]

:lol: Yep!!! :lol:

I would have done both of them, but my butt's too sore. LOL

[MstyDragon]

Seto,

Have you had time to do your BD? I'm guessing not becasue of your horrible hours. I've been thinking about doing BD. Okay, that is pathetic :rolleyes:

[Seto Kaiba]

Yep Msty,
Same here...... I've been "thinking" about doing the tapes, but not doing them :lol: I'm hoping tonight or definately tomorrow...... :D

[MstyDragon]

apparently I need someone to talk me into it or threaten me into working out! :D

[Seto Kaiba]

LOL Same here and feeling like crap today isn't making it any easier..... :(

[MstyDragon]

Seto,

Have you been using your exercise ball at all? I just saw a bunch of exercises with an ecercise ball in the latest issue of Self magazine.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

:wave:


Msty

[Seto Kaiba]

Msty,
It started to deflate and I haven't fixed the pump yet. :thdown: (BAD BAD BAD KITTY-BOY!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes: )

I'm hoping to do that and the BD tape at least 5 days a week (Starting tomorrow...........If I feel better........) I'm definately going to check that magazine out, thanks!!!!! :thup:

:wave:

[MstyDragon]

I see the Royal One has revoked your Ball privlidges ;)

[Seto Kaiba]

Yep, and I angered his greatness by sleeping on HIS couch this afternoon :lol:

[MstyDragon]

The audacity(sp?) of some servants. I'm suprised His Greatness lets you in HIS house :D

Did you workout today? I did some gardening, but I AM going to do a real workout if it kills me!

How are you? I just started a gym log and I've been looking at everyone else's. You really know how to work it! I think I'll work out as much as you and maybe I'll be in a bikini this summer! ;)
So what is "Game of Darkness"? Is that what it was called?? hmm...I only saw like two seconds ago, but you know memory is getting old and all!

[Kaela]

Ok, maybe I didn't start a gym log...why is there no GYM thing at the bottom of my post?? Hey, my b'day is three days after yours!

[Seto Kaiba]

Hey Kaela!
Sometimes the system is a little slow on getting the icons up. (I think that it took mine 2 days to show up :( )
So what is "Game of Darkness"? Is that what it was called??

A Game of Darkness is a duel that takes place in the "Shadow Realm" (It's from an anime that I watch :lol: )

I think I'll work out as much as you and maybe I'll be in a bikini this summer!

Seto,

you have really been working out a ton! How do you like the gym now? Have they got the tanning thing straitened out?

[Seto Kaiba]

It's ok. (As long as I go early....the pregnant women in half shirts and short bike shorts are NASTY!!!! ) Most of the people there don't know what they doing and are going to hurt themselves, but that's not my problem. LOL

Tanning thing is straightened out, and of course, the months almost over. I've pretty much lost my tan, so I've come to the concultion that tanning's not for me LOL
