Craders(Christine) cut up and get sexy again journal

**Crader** · 06-10-2007, 11:33 PM

Wow I never thought I would do the online journal as I'm terrible about it. But I wanted to get started so I keep myself accountable.

I'm 33yrs old with 3 young kids and I'm 5'3" at 122lbs right now. I'm looking to drop to 115 or so and get that complete cut stomach. I'm also looking to gain strength and add size to my arms and legs. I'm hoping to dial in a diet (I have a hard time cutting out sweets)

Today was an off day at the gym so all I accomplished was about and hour and forty min of walking

But I did sign up on fitday.com to help manage my calorie intake!

I will try to update this and add some pictures. But i just wanted to make sure I at least try to get some goals and get that sexy look back.

**Crader** · 06-10-2007, 11:43 PM

Oh I thought i might add my numerous supplements to the log..lol
Protein...a given
3 11-oxo
6 DCP
3 squirts of Sesamin
1 Green tea cap
10 mg of Havoc with a liver protectant
Reset AD

I'm going to try to add in This week
Xtend with waxy maize
get better about my fish oil....blech..makes me sick to my stomach
Get my multi in everyday...hides behind DH ..please dont make me take it!
Ahh yes and my favorite, get back to the beta-alanine, as I had a little overdose on it my first time out and paid for that encounter with skin on fire and 2 hours of throwing up!

If anyone has any suggestions I'm open, creatine and glutamine are also in there.

You know I'll be in here watching...and reaping the rewards. But you are already almost unbearably sexy.

This all looks good, but you may not need the waxy maize during a cut. I've been cutting for almost 15 weeks now and have had great results without using any pre/during/post workout carbs. I of course love Xtend. If you haven't already picked up any bulk beta alanine, try VasoXplode. It's got your creatine abd beta alanine as well as a good energy/focus. I was done with pre workout drinks, until I tried it and now I'm hooked. Tastes great with watermelon Xtend.

Thank you I'll look into the VasoXplode. I have both the powder and the capsules. But I'm always looking to consolidate some supps.

I'll be hitting the gym heavy Wednesday. I've had issues that took me out of the gym today so i walked the Mastiffs last night and mowed today to get some cardio..I must say the dogs give a nice strength workout as we are even in weight now..lol. Oh I also took the self propel off, does that count for mowing uneven terrain! I know get my butt in the gym, no excuses!

I'll put up pictures Friday. I have a tiny one in my avi..not good enough? You guys will regret the pic wanting soon enough. I still feel heavy and self conscious.

dnyc99 · 06-13-2007, 01:23 AM

Yay GF...You started up a journal.

Glad you decided to jump in and journal....people in this section are awesome.

I'm gonna be asking you lots of questions on supps.

Let me know which ones are working for you...I was looking into getting some of that sesamin drops.

Happy to see you here Christine.

me too...I have never been big on supps except L-glutamine and whey protein isolate. I look forward to being enlightened

Happy hump daY

**Crader** · 06-13-2007, 07:41 PM

Well I made it to the gym today. After 4 days off it felt good. However it was frustrating to see myself losing muscle but yet have the scale say I weighed a pound more! DH is on the same stuff and he lost 6 lbs. Same diet same supps...sigh Its very discouraging.

Anyway I came into the gym feeling weak and tired but I got my arm workout done. I did arms , abs and 10 min of cardio on the treadclimber. I'll post more later.

GameDayDog · 06-14-2007, 10:34 AM

I know some people are diehard - I must go to the gym today..

However, I thynk that sometymes, it's good to not go when u're not up to it...
Working out when the body is stressed can "supposedly" force it to release more cortisol which hinders muscle growth and development... making your workout worse...

Just my lil $.34 .. (I add tax to my $.02)

What's DCP ??? - in your supplement list...

Finally - Welcome to IronMASS..

Peace..~G

**Crader** · 06-14-2007, 05:42 PM

DCP is a great fat burner it also is one of the few that doesnt seem to compromise strength and muscle! Here is a link to the review on it on Nutraplanet.DCP (180 caps) By RPN

I also forgot to mention that I'm on GUT Health as well. It helps me to better digest and utilize my protein, as well as helps with IBS and other stomach sensitivites

Bill_Finkbiner · 06-15-2007, 06:42 AM

Christine, I re-read your first post and forgot to mention something that might help you. Don't be overly concerned with losing weight, concern yourself with shedding bodyfat and losing inches on your waist. I have had some weeks while doing the Cut Diet (I'm almost done with week 15) where i have gained 2 pounds, but still dropped BF, or had it stay the same. That means in those weeks I actually gained lean muscle mass while dieting.

I don't know what kind of nutrition plan you are on, but you should check out the Lifestyle Cut Diet. It's based on the diet I'm using for my contest, but not quite so harcore for people who aren't competing. I don't know the url, but you should be able to google it.
