ChrissieB's ''Physique sans Gymnase'' SUC 2012 - Finishing Photos Page 6

To be honest, the thought of cheesecake COVERED legs are taking my mind off my granite like frozen glutes right now....

Cheesecake is (was) HYPNOTIC, Mr Rack... as was Liz's teeny kilt....
 
Better Half made foresighted purchase of surgical strapping and medic supplies with an eye on weeks 9 - 10 which contain moves that can only be described as 'WHY, FFS?!'...

This made me giggle  I LOVE your journal!
xx

I'm glad it makes you smile, Fi!

Monday is rest day from TRX.... Child free and off work, I tried to persuade Better Half to accompany me on 'fun' cycle ride... Feminine wiles obbos thawted by fact I'm still sporting a cracker of a black eye from a crash I had on bike TEN DAYS AGO... I'm hardly bike buddy material *sigh* I blame new "attack shorts"... Bib attachment meaning I fool myself into thinking I'm Fabian Cancellara, hitting the climbs without fear of shorts falling down.

It would appear shorts falling down an early warning defence against hitting corner at top speed and misjudging pothole...

Last two days of fairly innocuous TRX phase afore hitting 'add a pllyometric leap to every sodding concentric phase of every rep' fandango.

I am not happy about this.

Not happy at all......

Plyo - I heart plyo... (only because I don't ever do them and annoy my clients by plyo-ing them til they drop)

That is because you are are cruel, Flick... :-/

The thought of plyo... added to the existing, slightly TRYING TRX Routine... Frankly, makes me ****ing WEEP...

Week 8 of TRX Milspec routine completed. Week 9, with it's POWAH element looms large for Saturday. The two rest days finally make perfect sense to me now.

Clothes feeling looser on me, god awful scales, although not moving fast weight wise, lay testament to a lowering body fat ... so I feel no need to diet right now. Three meals a day, a fraction of the number of 'meals' I'd have when in prep. 

To be honest with you... I like the bloody normality of this. 

Normal is good, means more likely to get lasting results without too many tears. Also when/if you do go back into extreme mode, then it'll work even better. Plyo, is that sort of jumps and bounds?If so I have some of those occasionally in my leggy routine, so feel your pain if that's the stuff.

:-) Yah, adding leaps to concentric phase of TRX. moves...most of which are either on one leg with other suspended.. or one handed with unstable base and a tendency to crumple onto floor! It's harsh... But it's FAB for legs, isn't it? 

Normal is GREAT. :-) I would only diet for minimal amount of time for that one-day-only  look when I'm hitting the stage. I love my food and drink too much!

I have one thing to say about Plyo - TENA LADY!!!!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Liz. I have yet to introduce Andy to the mop and bucket end of leaping around...  he thinks he is being 'on the ball' by purchasing medical strapping and industrial quantities of tiger balm.. I am betting on my ankles giving way before my pelvic floor does, to be fair!
 
:-)

*Wonders what Chrissie's pelvic floor secret is that the rest of us don't know about*
 
I say, great guns missy, and if 'normal' works for you then so be it!
Funny, I only read an article last night by Layne Norton saying some testing had been done on eating 3x larger meals a day chocked with protein and how actually it does you no harm in terms of muscle wastage...

Yup, the intermittent fasting method also dispells this myth too. I think it depends upon the individual, I know less meals can make me tend to over eat at the next, then again too many meals means I am used to constantly eating which also becomes a hassle/problem.

Flick.. I have levator ani and coccygeus that could crack a walnut..
GN... It is knowing yourself that is the key, I agree!
 
I don’t use the term ‘normal’ lightly, when it comes to food.  Clinical Psychologists in conjunction with state registered dieticians currently use the following as a base guideline when ‘treating’ sub clinical or clinical eating disorders…
 

• Normal eating is going to the table hungry and eating until you are satisfied.
• Normal eating is being able to give some thought to your food selection so you get nutritious food, but not being so wary and restrictive that you miss out on enjoyable food.
• It is leaving something like biscuits on the plate because you know you can have some again tomorrow, or it is eating more now because they taste so wonderful.
• Normal eating is trusting your body to make up for your mistakes in eating.
• Normal eating takes up some of your time and attention, but keeps its place as only one important area of your life

 
Right, that’s the big thinky thoughts on eating out of the way.
 
 
TRX continuing at the plyo level… some days it seems harder than others.  Final weeks 11 and 12 loom on the horizon like a circling bird of prey, although I am assured that by then I will have the body of a MACHINE and have ‘earned my progression’, therefore it will be a total breeze :-/

Interesting but doesn't the human body mostly want to build up fat reserves, so we aren't really meant to stop at hunger sated - but always go a bit over that if left to our own instincts?

Left pretty much to itself, a healthy body (and mind) is pretty self regulating... and of course, female fat distribution does have a basis in the region and climate from which an individual's ancestors have come.. 

When the body consumes fewer calories than it needs fat reserves increase.... when one does not eat enough calories to maintain proper body function (which includes, breathing and digestion along with physical activity) it begins to store whatever calories are ingested in the adipocytes so there will be energy available.... so eating enough is the main driver... I'm not so certain about the exceeding the 'hunger sated' marker... :-)

Right.... I'm about to gird loins for first TRX sesh after five days self imposed lay off!

This will go just FINE... :-/

i'm a big fan of normal eating......normality rocks!
 

It does, Liz..... And what could be more normal than a McFlurry WHILST we train, eh?!! Hee!
