RJMasters Master Fitness

Damn, it's already after six.

I'm going nuts today and have it all written down. Doing a set then a couple of dishes, some surfing, some laundry, some cooking...etc...I'm mixing it all up today.
 
On my way out door

Just finished up all my exercises headed out the door for walk.

need the cool night air...

And got my 200 extra bonus calorie burn, more like 300 today.

Later
 
I'm done for the day. I did start to get that unstable lower back pain thing so I switched to the pilates type deep breathing lower ab crunches. I think I'll do those to build up some stabilizer muscle strength. My dumbbells are just 25 pounders but it's enough for me for now. When it gets too easy I'll increase the weight.

I'll add in some daily stretching routines too. I need to keep that lower back and the legs loose, I can feel them tightening up.

Nice B way to hang in there.

I did finish my walk and even did some 50 yard jog walk throughout. I know next week is coming and just getting ready for it.

I like the crunches way better. The burn they leave behind is way more intense than the situps, yet I don't feel the pain in my back as much.
 
Okay. It's Monday. It is time for week two.

I guess that it's time for anyone else who wants in to start also.

Just insert your exercise program and let us know what it is you want to accomplish.

It's time for me to get started or I will be lagging behind by the time I have to get ready for work.



So here is what is happening. I have managed to quit smoking, I'm holding onto my new vegetarian diet and it's not that tough since I made all the changes slowly. Me and RJM are keeping each other motivated with help from willing Dom/mes on this exercise program.

Now, once my digestive system gets used to the diet I will be quite happy.
 
1 week down

I must say its good to have one full week of my commitment under my belt.

I am looking forward to this week. Today I'm gonna work out in the buff. (except for the walk/run around the block). Just don't think my neighbors are ready to accept that part about me yet....heehee

I treated myself to two movies for completing week 1..."9 1/2 Weeks" and "the Secretary".

Now I am all out of ideas for rewards. If you have any sugestions which do not include adding fat to my body, please suggest away.

Anyways, as Betticus said, since this is the start of the week, now's your chance to jump in and start. Just post an exercise routine, a length of commitment, and designate a punisher.

I feel better, stronger, more alert. My body weight is beginning to shift. This week I am going to pay more attention to what I am eating. I hope I can see 3 pnds off by end of this week.

i'm fighting this urge to smack you, in a nice way, because your enthusiasm makes me smile at the same time.

Instead, click me. Click the link at the bottom of the page "So, Click Here to get started" for one person's sensible schedule. Get off the "lose this much weight in X amount of time." Relish the "i'm going to sleep well tonight" feeling. Laugh with the "oh shit, these clothes don't fit" surprise putting on clothes you haven't worn as the season changes.

The last two make your endeavor worth while, and in the long run, all the reward you need until you're ready to strip down and jog in the neighborhood to accompanying whistles.

Message received :cool:

"It is a skill that you learn over time. Forget about losing "X" number of pounds in two weeks. Instead, think about how can I achieve a healthy lifestyle which includes sustainable weight loss. "

...ever feel like you just been biffed upside the back of your head. :)

Thanks AA.

At least i didn't put the Gap Band on as background music, and it could have been a lot worse ... http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/363868/gen007.gif

Here's another link, click me.

One more sobering thought ... if you drop weight too fast, your skin doesn't get a chance to work along with you.

Does the word "droopy" mean anything to you?

Rolls in agony at the mental image burned into my brain!

Heehee

Ok so then realisticly for an 8 week commitment I will have done well for a 4 pnd weight loss safely.

Takes a step back....not that I am focusing on weight loss mind you...lol! Just re-adjusting my thinking.

The whole exercise thing is to get some activity to burn some calories, but also to prevent the droopies. I am not looking for Mr. Universe, but I want firmness, trim and endurance/energy. Because I work behind a computer, its easy to never get any activity. Over the last 7 years, I have aquired about 30 pounds that need to go by by. I am hoping then in about a year or so, the change in my lifestyle will produce the results.

I guess this 8 week commitment for me is my way of putting a stop to laziness, and get me use to...what I want to be a normal part of my life to stay fit and in shape. I know for me the 8 week is an obtainable goal, and my hope is at the end of it, I will be used to the lifestyle change and continue it.
 
I think you can do up to two pounds a week in fat loss but anything over that is asking for trouble. Not to mention that weight isn't the best thing to focus on. This for me is about changing lifestyles and becoming healthy. The fit part, fun and looking better are all bonuses.

I got my Monday stuff done last night before bed. It's a good feeling but I need to reconcile this along with my rotating shift work.

I'd also like to say that I'm a sick, sick man. I have been doing cardio today and it's my day off.

On a bright note, my lower back is not so sensitive and I did switch over to crunches instead of the situps. Looking forward to tomorrow.

We need to recruit some more people.

We should probably lay out a total beginners routine for everyone. Something along with that idea of a minimum. Something that accomplishing will make you feel better. Like a stretching routine, flexibility is important.
 
Today I hurt all over

Well tuesday evening, I had a binge of self destructive behavior and decided to try working out my fustration, anger and stress with weights.

yes it fucking hurts to even type right now. So I guess I guess today's workout will be interesting to say the least as I find it hard to scratch my nose, let alone thinking of the push up and curl sets ahead of me.

Looks at AA for some leanancy....:rolleyes:

Ok, Like I knew that was out before I even typed it. Well I will do my best to complete my exercises today.

I will be doing stretching all day...

On a good note...my little tirade seemed to help alot. I feel a bit more on an even keel today. I am starting to see some results as well in my arms, shoulders, and chest. My stomach seems to be also taking on better definition. The crunches have been kicking my ass in a good way.

I also noticed on my last walk that my pace was quickened and I seem to glide with ease instead of taking weighted step after weighted step. I guess there was what you call a noticable spring in my step.

Wish me luck today.....I think I am gonna need it.
 
Hey, that is fucking great. Keep it up.

I have noticed something cool. With the vegetarian diet I feel better and have a whole lot more energy, probably can't count out the exercising also. The workouts are just more fun though. So that is a good thing.
 
lol

Oh the pain...lol

ok...all excersices completed except walk. I will do that later this evening.

wondering if my arms will ever straighten out again...lol

off to the showers.

Spring has sprung,
Fall has fell,
You asked for my help ...

Welcome to hell.

Better to rule than serve?
 
See, that's what happens when you let a sadist be your motivator.. I might have let you off. (Then again, maybe not:p )

I picked AA for one reason and one reason alone, although I have been surprised that how much additional help which has been offered.

I picked AA because I knew what ever pain I might be going through to get in the last 3 pushup or last set of curls to 15....if I failed, AA would find a punishment 10 times equal to that momentary pain, and that he wouldn't fuck around or play at it. I know he knows why I picked him...and he is waiting with a wicked grin for the first slip.

I intend never to give him that chance or satisfaction, and it is amazing how much your willing to endure when you think of AA standing there with a wicked evil twisted grin on his face. Today I even thought I heard him whisper..."hey stud, don't worry about them last 5 push ups...take a break"

I think I did 6 just to make sure....lol

If I ever make a shoe shopping commitment, then I will go with you ciara, as then maybe I will go, or maybe I won't :p

Don't give me that look....be nice :rose:

I like the av for a number of reasons, one of which you sort of hint at. Good perception.

It's a very nice AV, one of my favorites. It's very inspiring ;)

:)

My lust, a violating fire of force,
Can burn from silent calm in dark forlorn
To whims of torment striking out. A course
To deepest guilt, perhaps, but I was born
this way and love this way, I must. That rare
Courageous one, I seek a phoenix from
The gulls, who gains her smaller death in fear
And suffered flames: we’ll share our burning wrong.
But here with catching eyes, I fear my lust
Unchecked could cause a grievous hurt; a bird
Of fire is rare indeed. Alight, I must
Infer her beaten path. I’ll risk her spurred
To disappointed euphemistic hate;
It’s worse to curse a gull the phoenix fate.
