Tiki – Progress Update 2/28/09
posted on February 28th, 2009 by tiki in Health / Fitness
I must admit, I haven’t been perfect – there have been a few times along the way that I’ve screwed up my diet or didn’t complete all of my cardio. But rather than beating myself up about it, I take responsibility for my actions and quickly get right back on track! I’ve learned that the more time I spend on the right path, the faster and more efficient the journey.
When I began dieting my waist was 31 in.- today it’s 28 in.

Well it’s THAT TIME again and, all I have to say is….Blaaahhhh 
And I must admit, I missed a session of cardio on Thursday and, I didn’t get all of my meals in on Friday. I know *shame on me*. But in spite of falling short and Girlie Time toying with my hormones, I managed to eek out some progress for the week. My weight is down 1lb and, I’m finally starting to get some of my definition back – especially in my Back and Quads. And my shoulders are taking shape nicely.

Just a Mini Update
posted on February 4th, 2009 by tiki in Health / Fitness
Well, for the past 2 days I’ve been rather short tempered (and a little emotional) – with the smallest of things just pissing me off! I’m 100% confident that my diet is not the cause (just yet anyway) so, I dropped Danny (my trainer) a text and asked if working out can cause such Moodiness. He immediately called and talked to me about my training and diet. He did mention that heavier lifting has been known to boost testosterone, even in women (which may or may not be the case with me). So with that said, he wants to play it safe and insure that I don’t cause myself any overtraining. So, we’re going to do a 2 day on/2 day off rotation for a few weeks and see how that goes.
As for overtraining…. Been there, done that, and I ain’t ever going back there again – if I can help it! For those that don’t know — Overtraining is often caused by training too much, not resting enough, and poor nutrition. *basically being an idiot* For me, symptoms included – depression, moodiness, lethargy (no matter how much I slept), and constant muscle soreness. It took me nearly a month off to fully recover. *talk about a set back*
So for all of you newbies out there – MORE IS NOT BETTER! Believe me, hitting the gym everyday just because you think it’s Hardcore is just flat out stupidity. Keep this in mind: “Muscle growth is stimulated in the Gym – it Grows outside Of the Gym.” *period*
Well, I took yesterday off and, I’m taking today off too. Tonight after I do cardio, I’m just going to relax and maybe do some yoga.
Sending you all – Much Love!

Although I get occasional mouth watering cravings for simple things such as fruit and bread – I just don’t have it in me to veer off my diet during the week. So to satisfy my cravings, I’ve been experimenting with a larger variety of Keto friendly foods and flavors. With that said, if yall have any tips or tricks – please share! *pleeease*
Training Overview
Monday was a Heavy Upper Body Work and, on Tuesday I trained Lower Body; and rather than lifting heavy, I choose to keep my weight moderate. The workout was intense..

Training Overview
* Full Body Workouts – M/W/F
* Cardio Everyday
As for my training this week, my usual routine was flipped upside down. I think Danny just wants to prevent me from going through the motions with my workouts. And, I agree – change is good becuase, I do have a tendency to go into autopilot once I hit the gym. I must say, the flip was sort of weird at first and took a few sets to get used to it. But with that being said, it actually forced me to concentrate more on what I was doing. — Although Danny may change my routine back again (or to something else), the routine flip motivated me to Focus more on what I was doing and challenge myself harder than before….I don’t imagine myself going back into autopilot anytime soon. — I made quite a few Personal Bests this past week and….I’m hungry for more!

Brief Overview
My weight is up one pound from last week and, my measurements are up in a few areas too. BUT, my chest is down a quarter of an inch (0.25″) this week so, I’m pretty happy to see that number dropping! Based on everything combined (weight, stats, and visually) there’s a strong indication that my composition is changing and, I couldn’t be happier or more excited about that.

Diet Overview
My diet this week was pretty good; with the exception of Sunday’s dinner, when my girlfriend and I indulged on wine and, had creme brulee for dessert! *yummy* Btw, I did add a different element into my diet this week; Whey Protein. I am lactose intolerant and, yes, it is giving me tummy aches and bloating so, I may just stick solely to my egg protein from here on out; unless of course I get a bad craving for protein pancakes. ~ Only then would the pain be worth it!
Training Overview
* Full Body Workouts – M/W/F
* Cardio Everyday
As for my training, I hit the gym M/W/F and did Full Body Workouts. I did miss one session of cardio on Wednesday and, I missed one yesterday as well — basically, my left knee has been giving me problems all week. Believe me, I really wanted to do my cardio, I even got on different cardio equipment to see if that helped; no matter what I did my knee just wasn’t going to cooperate.

Well it’s THAT TIME again and, all I have to say is….Blaaahhhh
And I must admit, I missed a session of cardio on Thursday and, I didn’t get all of my meals in on Friday. I know *shame on me*. But in spite of falling short and Girlie Time toying with my hormones, I managed to eek out some progress for the week. My weight is down 1lb and, I’m finally starting to get some of my definition back – especially in my Back and Quads. And my shoulders are taking shape nicely.
I’m averaging about 1lb. per week.

Diet Overview
My progress was so substantial this week that even with the effects of PMS (overall water retention and some minor lower tummy bloating) some of my stats still dropped, my pics showed noticeable improvements, and I was down 1lb on the scale. I was rather surprised because, I was not expecting any of that!

Progress Update Video (not a full body update)
Just a Mini Update
posted on February 4th, 2009 by tiki in Health / Fitness
Well, for the past 2 days I’ve been rather short tempered (and a little emotional) – with the smallest of things just pissing me off! I’m 100% confident that my diet is not the cause (just yet anyway) so, I dropped Danny (my trainer) a text and asked if working out can cause such Moodiness. He immediately called and talked to me about my training and diet. He did mention that heavier lifting has been known to boost testosterone, even in women (which may or may not be the case with me). So with that said, he wants to play it safe and insure that I don’t cause myself any overtraining. So, we’re going to do a 2 day on/2 day off rotation for a few weeks and see how that goes.
As for overtraining…. Been there, done that, and I ain’t ever going back there again – if I can help it! For those that don’t know — Overtraining is often caused by training too much, not resting enough, and poor nutrition. *basically being an idiot* For me, symptoms included – depression, moodiness, lethargy (no matter how much I slept), and constant muscle soreness. It took me nearly a month off to fully recover. *talk about a set back*
So for all of you newbies out there – MORE IS NOT BETTER! Believe me, hitting the gym everyday just because you think it’s Hardcore is just flat out stupidity. Keep this in mind: “Muscle growth is stimulated in the Gym – it Grows outside Of the Gym.” *period*
Well, I took yesterday off and, I’m taking today off too. Tonight after I do cardio, I’m just going to relax and maybe do some yoga.
Sending you all – Much Love!

Diet Overview
Although I get occasional mouth watering cravings for simple things such as fruit and bread – I just don’t have it in me to veer off my diet during the week. So to satisfy my cravings, I’ve been experimenting with a larger variety of Keto friendly foods and flavors. With that said, if yall have any tips or tricks – please share! *pleeease*
Training Overview
Monday was a Heavy Upper Body Work and, on Tuesday I trained Lower Body; and rather than lifting heavy, I choose to keep my weight moderate. The workout was intense.. The funny thing is – I left the Gym thinking…ehhh, that was an “ok” leg workout. *HA* OK My Ass! I’m still feeling the aftermath of that workout!

Diet Overview
As for my diet, there’s nothin really out of the ordinary to report – my diet is pretty much the same’ol thang every single day; with the exception of saturday when I’m allowed a treat meal.
Well today is Saturday and….
what was supposed to be a “treat meal” – was more like a treat BINGE.
For dinner I ate: (from Popeye’s)
large box of fries
red beans and rice
chicken leg and a thigh
biscuit
fried apple pie
bag famous amos cookies
Please excuse me while I slip into a food coma.
Training Overview
* Full Body Workouts – M/W/F
* Cardio Everyday
As for my training this week, my usual routine was flipped upside down. I think Danny just wants to prevent me from going through the motions with my workouts. And, I agree – change is good becuase, I do have a tendency to go into autopilot once I hit the gym. I must say, the flip was sort of weird at first and took a few sets to get used to it. But with that being said, it actually forced me to concentrate more on what I was doing. — Although Danny may change my routine back again (or to something else), the routine flip motivated me to Focus more on what I was doing and challenge myself harder than before….I don’t imagine myself going back into autopilot anytime soon. — I made quite a few Personal Bests this past week and….I’m hungry for more!

Brief Overview
My weight is up one pound from last week and, my measurements are up in a few areas too. BUT, my chest is down a quarter of an inch (0.25″) this week so, I’m pretty happy to see that number dropping! Based on everything combined (weight, stats, and visually) there’s a strong indication that my composition is changing and, I couldn’t be happier or more excited about that.

Diet Overview
My diet this week was pretty good; with the exception of Sunday’s dinner, when my girlfriend and I indulged on wine and, had creme brulee for dessert! *yummy* Btw, I did add a different element into my diet this week; Whey Protein. I am lactose intolerant and, yes, it is giving me tummy aches and bloating so, I may just stick solely to my egg protein from here on out; unless of course I get a bad craving for protein pancakes. ~ Only then would the pain be worth it!
Training Overview
* Full Body Workouts – M/W/F
* Cardio Everyday
As for my training, I hit the gym M/W/F and did Full Body Workouts. I did miss one session of cardio on Wednesday and, I missed one yesterday as well — basically, my left knee has been giving me problems all week. Believe me, I really wanted to do my cardio, I even got on different cardio equipment to see if that helped; no matter what I did my knee just wasn’t going to cooperate.

So to satisfy my cravings, I’ve been experimenting with a larger variety of Keto friendly foods and flavors. With that said, if yall have any tips or tricks – please share! *pleeease*
Training Overview
Monday was a Heavy Upper Body Work and, on Tuesday I trained Lower Body; and rather than lifting heavy, I choose to keep my weight moderate. The workout was intense.. The funny thing is – I left the Gym thinking…ehhh, that was an “ok” leg workout. *HA* OK My Ass! I’m still feeling the aftermath of that workout!
My Waist is Down 2 inches since I started my diet! *happy*

posted on January 24th, 2009 by tiki in Uncategorized
Diet Overview
As for my diet, there’s nothin really out of the ordinary to report – my diet is pretty much the same’ol thang every single day; with the exception of saturday when I’m allowed a treat meal.
Well today is Saturday and….
what was supposed to be a “treat meal” – was more like a treat BINGE.
For dinner I ate: (from Popeye’s)
large box of fries
red beans and rice
chicken leg and a thigh
biscuit
fried apple pie
bag famous amos cookies
Please excuse me while I slip into a food coma.
Training Overview
* Full Body Workouts – M/W/F
* Cardio Everyday
As for my training this week, my usual routine was flipped upside down. I think Danny just wants to prevent me from going through the motions with my workouts. And, I agree – change is good becuase, I do have a tendency to go into autopilot once I hit the gym. I must say, the flip was sort of weird at first and took a few sets to get used to it. But with that being said, it actually forced me to concentrate more on what I was doing. — Although Danny may change my routine back again (or to something else), the routine flip motivated me to Focus more on what I was doing and challenge myself harder than before….I don’t imagine myself going back into autopilot anytime soon. — I made quite a few Personal Bests this past week and….I’m hungry for more!

Brief Overview
My weight is up one pound from last week and, my measurements are up in a few areas too. BUT, my chest is down a quarter of an inch (0.25″) this week so, I’m pretty happy to see that number dropping! Based on everything combined (weight, stats, and visually) there’s a strong indication that my composition is changing and, I couldn’t be happier or more excited about that.

Diet Overview
My diet this week was pretty good; with the exception of Sunday’s dinner, when my girlfriend and I indulged on wine and, had creme brulee for dessert! *yummy* Btw, I did add a different element into my diet this week; Whey Protein. I am lactose intolerant and, yes, it is giving me tummy aches and bloating so, I may just stick solely to my egg protein from here on out; unless of course I get a bad craving for protein pancakes. ~ Only then would the pain be worth it!
Training Overview
* Full Body Workouts – M/W/F
* Cardio Everyday
As for my training, I hit the gym M/W/F and did Full Body Workouts. I did miss one session of cardio on Wednesday and, I missed one yesterday as well — basically, my left knee has been giving me problems all week. Believe me, I really wanted to do my cardio, I even got on different cardio equipment to see if that helped; no matter what I did my knee just wasn’t going to cooperate.

Well, Danny gave me one extra day of rest and, that seemed to remedy my Bitchiness. *thank goodness* In addition to giving me more rest days, Danny also manipulate my diet (for the first time in 6 weeks). And I agree, it was time for a jolt!

Just a Mini Update
posted on February 4th, 2009 by tiki in Health / Fitness
Well, for the past 2 days I’ve been rather short tempered (and a little emotional) – with the smallest of things just pissing me off! I’m 100% confident that my diet is not the cause (just yet anyway) so, I dropped Danny (my trainer) a text and asked if working out can cause such Moodiness. He immediately called and talked to me about my training and diet. He did mention that heavier lifting has been known to boost testosterone, even in women (which may or may not be the case with me). So with that said, he wants to play it safe and insure that I don’t cause myself any overtraining. So, we’re going to do a 2 day on/2 day off rotation for a few weeks and see how that goes.
As for overtraining…. Been there, done that, and I ain’t ever going back there again – if I can help it! For those that don’t know — Overtraining is often caused by training too much, not resting enough, and poor nutrition. *basically being an idiot* For me, symptoms included – depression, moodiness, lethargy (no matter how much I slept), and constant muscle soreness. It took me nearly a month off to fully recover. *talk about a set back*
So for all of you newbies out there – MORE IS NOT BETTER! Believe me, hitting the gym everyday just because you think it’s Hardcore is just flat out stupidity. Keep this in mind: “Muscle growth is stimulated in the Gym – it Grows outside Of the Gym.” *period*
Well, I took yesterday off and, I’m taking today off too. Tonight after I do cardio, I’m just going to relax and maybe do some yoga.
Sending you all – Much Love!

But with that being said, it actually forced me to concentrate more on what I was doing. — Although Danny may change my routine back again (or to something else), the routine flip motivated me to Focus more on what I was doing and challenge myself harder than before….I don’t imagine myself going back into autopilot anytime soon. — I made quite a few Personal Bests this past week and….I’m hungry for more!

Brief Overview
My weight is up one pound from last week and, my measurements are up in a few areas too. BUT, my chest is down a quarter of an inch (0.25″) this week so, I’m pretty happy to see that number dropping! Based on everything combined (weight, stats, and visually) there’s a strong indication that my composition is changing and, I couldn’t be happier or more excited about that.

Diet Overview
My diet this week was pretty good; with the exception of Sunday’s dinner, when my girlfriend and I indulged on wine and, had creme brulee for dessert! *yummy* Btw, I did add a different element into my diet this week; Whey Protein. I am lactose intolerant and, yes, it is giving me tummy aches and bloating so, I may just stick solely to my egg protein from here on out; unless of course I get a bad craving for protein pancakes. ~ Only then would the pain be worth it!
Training Overview
* Full Body Workouts – M/W/F
* Cardio Everyday
As for my training, I hit the gym M/W/F and did Full Body Workouts. I did miss one session of cardio on Wednesday and, I missed one yesterday as well — basically, my left knee has been giving me problems all week. Believe me, I really wanted to do my cardio, I even got on different cardio equipment to see if that helped; no matter what I did my knee just wasn’t going to cooperate.

Diet Overview
Although I get occasional mouth watering cravings for simple things such as fruit and bread – I just don’t have it in me to veer off my diet during the week. So to satisfy my cravings, I’ve been experimenting with a larger variety of Keto friendly foods and flavors. With that said, if yall have any tips or tricks – please share! *pleeease*
Training Overview
Monday was a Heavy Upper Body Work and, on Tuesday I trained Lower Body; and rather than lifting heavy, I choose to keep my weight moderate. The workout was intense.. The funny thing is – I left the Gym thinking…ehhh, that was an “ok” leg workout. *HA* OK My Ass! I’m still feeling the aftermath of that workout!
My Waist is Down 2 inches since I started my diet! *happy*

Diet Overview
As for my diet, there’s nothin really out of the ordinary to report – my diet is pretty much the same’ol thang every single day; with the exception of saturday when I’m allowed a treat meal.
Well today is Saturday and….
what was supposed to be a “treat meal” – was more like a treat BINGE.
For dinner I ate: (from Popeye’s)
large box of fries
red beans and rice
chicken leg and a thigh
biscuit
fried apple pie
bag famous amos cookies
Please excuse me while I slip into a food coma.
