ViRTuouS: Mind, Body, & Soul (spring 08)

ViRTuouS · 03-11-2008, 07:30 PM

For those that don't know me...

I'm a 30 year old wife/mother/student. The name "ViRTuouS" comes from Proverbs 31. How it applies to this board ---> v. 17, "She girds herself with strength and makes her arms strong". (Right on!)

Current stats:
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 190
BF%: 33% (YIKES!)

<--refuses to post pics until I've lost fat enough to feel comfortable enough. Then I'll do some before/after.

Measurements:
Ribs-36"
Waist-38.5"
Hips-43"
Butt-43.5"
Thighs-28"

For those that do know me...

What have I been up to? What I do best ---> being lazy! (yup) School and the kiddos are keeping me busy, but I need to incorporate a healthy diet & exercise regimen.

Goals for this log: sharpen my mind, strengthen my body, and cultivate my soul.
The gist of this log will be about strengthening my body, but you will probably hear about by progress with my mind & soul from time to time.

So here goes...

AM WORKOUT (still trying to figure out my working weight)

10 min elliptical (interval)
Leg Press-230x8x3
Leg Extensions-90x8x1, 170x8x2 (I don't know if this # is correct, the #'s are scratched off...will double check it next week)
DB Single Leg Split Squat-15x8x3
SLDL-65x8x1, 85x8x2
Leg Curls-72x8x3
10 min elliptical (interval)

EATS (need to add in another meal...or two)
Chicken & Broccoli
Chicken & Sweet Potato
Chicken & Sweet Potato
ANPB

Totals: Cals 1603 P 178g 47%, F 43g 25%, C 122g 27%

I'm still trying to iron out the details and make this into a "routine".

As far as the mind goes, here are the current classes I'm enrolled in. BTW, I'm a junior now!
Financial Auditing, Management Science, Accounting Information Systems, & Advanced Tax Accounting (I dread this class!)
This is, BY FAR, the toughest semester I've had!
And finally, as far as the soul goes: I'm reading through the book of James (one chapter a day, with a focus on just a few verses at a time).

Just got back from seeing College Road Trip. Cute movie. Makes me sad to think about my kiddos growing up and leaving the nest. *sigh*

THE GOOD NEWS IS...(drumroll) I REFRAINED FROM EATING ANY JUNK FOOD! Yup! Took my grapefruit, tuna pouch, and bottle of water instead. Oh, it was torture to pass the popcorn back and forth. Good thing I can't gain weight from sniffing it!

WORKOUT
DL-105x8x3
Lat Pulldown-72x8x3
Seated Row-72x8x1, 84x7x1, 72x8x1
DB Incline Curls-15x8x3
Twisting Crunches-20x3

FOOD
Protein Shake & skim milk
tuna pouch & almonds
tuna pouch & grapefruit
tilapia & basmati rice
protein shake, milk, & ANPB

Totals: Cals 1596, P 162g 41%, F 52g 30%, C 123g 29%

And this is just because I like this smiley!
