baskington's Journal, 29 August 2018

Well I tried to load a picture of me in my workout clothes today and I guess my images even resized are just too large as the small box it allows cuts me down so you can only see my torso. Weird.

I got up tired and sore and yes light headed. Ate a big steak with some extra fat and stretched and stretched. It took a couple hours until I felt decent. I did a couple of my big tanks while I was resting to at least get some work done this morning. Fortunately those are pretty mindless to do.

I got dressed up in the closest things I had to work out clothes and dragged myself to the gym. Forgot to bring water I will not do that again. The water fountain water was horrible when I finally found it.

Did my glutes both inside and outside machine, 10 each in groups of 3 twice then went back to do them when I was done with the other machines I tried. I did the leg press with no weight only 5 times each in the same 3 series. my knee was a little tweeked this morning so I did not push. I have a bad knee that acts up so I have to be careful on that one. and I used the weight bar for balance and did 5 squats in a series of 3 times. I would have liked to try for more but I was still sore from 2 days ago. This one is very difficult for me to do, so it will take time. At least holding on to the bar when I squat I have more control and don't lose my balance.

Then I tried some standing pedal thing. Depending on how I stood on it, it would work my front muscles more or my rear ones. I set it at endurance level and worked the rear more. that one kicked me in the butt well.

I went and played with the little weights again to do the side lifts I don't know what it is called maybe the butterfly and definitely 12.5 is my max and I can not manage to get my arms straight. This is something I work on the total gym at and that one is hard! so while I am clueless to my calorie burn I am counting it at 160 because the one exercise was cardio. My body feels like it was 400! LOL

Even though I have been around 500 to 600 calories under my maintenance level that water weight is sticking around. 128.6 for two days. 1 1/2 pound gain from my 127 and today or tomarrow by my tracking I should hit 126. I know I ate food that I should not have for my food sensitivities, but it was so minor. Cucumbers in mayo and vinegar and coffee with heavy cream. Well I did splurge and have eggs too. They did not seem to bother me.

Have to see how this week goes. I am still so bloated I did not want to show off my tummy anyways. It was nice for a few days to see how much better that area was looking before the bloat. I will just keep working on things and it will eventually come together and surprise me!

only 3 pounds to go, my goodness

yes I was down to 127 before the water gain. But I still have a lot of fat to go. Probably a good 6 to 8 pounds in my stomach area and some extra in my thighs. Rebuilding my muscle tone is the main focus right now. 125 is my high school weight and I am sure I will get there, but without the muscles back it will not look good.

Great job exercising! Too bad about the pic - would have loved to have seen one.

I am going to try again, it will not be my work out clothes, done with that for the day.

I take a pic. Rotate my phone then crop to a square (you’ll have some white or black at the sides). I then post it in the app under a meal :).Then it doesn’t cut off everything lol. The website won’t let me post a pic from my phone no matter what.

the knee cover is like what Bret Farr sells with those copper things?? Yes Chris I am very careful with it all. Between my back, my knee and the shortened muscles in my calf's I have a few lower body challenges. One of the reasons I was doing baby steps on the total gym. I can do some of the lower exercises I need at a very low intensity and total back support. I appreciate the comments. The upper body took a lot of time but limiting my exercises to ones with back support I built up pretty well. some days I feel like the hulk walking around. LOL!

Inside glutes? Tough taking a picture of those.....haha! 
29 Aug 18 by member: srossca
oh I was not taking pictures of that exercise HA! I have been trying to get a body shot in. I have a lot of work to do but I am so much better than the flabby old lady of 25 pounds ago. I started my diet before I got here and had lost I think 5 pounds, then signed up and lost the balance. 3 more pounds to high school weight and probably at least 2 months more to get to high school muscle. The lower body is tough with the handicaps but I will get there

how do you post pictures and not use the journal?? I keep looking around and I see people post pictures that are not in their journals and can't figure it out. If I try to make 2 journal entries a day it deletes one. I still don't have a handle on this site.

Sounds like a great work out! What is the pedal thing that works your glutes? I also feel like I may develop an issue with my knees. No squats for me and I stopped using the leg press too. Side note: cucumbers with mayo is just wrong! Lol!

When you are talking about glutes inside and outside, are you talking about the “Good-girl:Bad-girl”? (Adduction-abduction) machine?

I use a laptop Draglist, just yesterday another member posted a journal entry with her new glasses and then when she posted again the first journal disappeared too. It seems to only allow one entry a day

I don't know what you call the pedal machine that I felt on the back of my legs and bum when I stood up straight, you have the option to lean over too, handles in two different positions. The actual glute machine was totally different that one really did a number on my bum. I did that at 70 pounds!

yes I think that is it Tom, the girl next to me was doing 90 pounds. my starting was 70 pushing out is a lot easier for me then pushing in.

my leg (calf) that has the shortened muscle is screaming at me today, so I think I will not do any cardio on my bike and give it a rest. The peddle thing definitely stretched that muscle. Which is a good thing, I just need to take it slowly. the rest of me is just mildly sore from the new activity

Those hip machines are killer! But if you do them twice a week you’ll go up in weight fairly quickly. I started at 30 & 50 and after about 8-9 weeks I’m at 50&70. I can actually do 70&80 but thats probably my max and right now it hurts my joints too much. I think I’ll probably have both at 70 for my normal sets in the next 2-3 weeks. Or that’s the goal. Is the pedal thing one of the bikes? My gym has 3 different styles of bikes. One you sit on like a bike and the other two have the peddles out in front of you. The spin class room has different bikes. You sound like you are making some good progress :).

The hip ab-adductor machine is great. 70 is a lot!! I can’t push that much weight yet. I’m at 50# 
30 Aug 18 by member: CrashtestDawnie
that is what I started at Crash, I could do 90 on the pushing out but I wanted to keep the inside and outside even. So I am doing the 70 this week until my pushing in catchs up to my pushing in. Go figure I struggle trying to do a series of 5 squats but can easily do the hip thing.
