Tweak's training log

[REWRITE March 5th, 2008]

This thread started out with whining and I needed to change it. I had a hair mishap when I first started this thread-- put it that way.

I'm a 25 year old from Minnesota. I started out here at about 158-160 pounds at 5'6.5" with measurements around 39/29/41. I was a swimmer all through high school and college, so that pretty much put me at being active for 10 years straight. I have a ton of lean mass.

I'm training for a triathlon in July. I was going to do a half marathon in June but now I think I'm going to scrap that and do a 10K in September instead.

I met T cake on another message board around 2001 or 2002 and introduced her to our beloved Ulter (who I met through my sister Raina, if you're from EF). I've been working with them since.

I'm a relatively healthy person. Only issue I really have that is detrimental to me is a fluke hand injury I sustained last winter, resulting in permanent damage to the tendons and ligaments in my right hand. As I've gotten stronger, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to grip heavier weights with my bad hand. So that is pretty annoying. Other than that, I'm fine.

T Cake has me on circuit training to burn up fat and gain LBM-- they are 6 week rotations. I'm just about to complete my 6th week.

Tweak- eat your wheaties!

Liquify....And another good reason to stay away from sugar glazed over sugar, cooked with sugar

I am laughing WITH you

Everthing else pales when compared to a major hair crisis.

Hang in there. Better times on the way!

Tweak · 02-11-2008, 11:12 AM

Aww, thank you guys. I'm okay. I just LOVED my blonde hair and was so emotionally attached to it and now I'm not used to seeing my hair colored... let alone a wretched color. lol

Correction: These would look lovely on someone else. Just not me. Can't pull it off with my fair skin.

Yes, it could be much worse. I'm just being a total baby.

Also YEAH. NO MORE REFINED SUGAR. Holy hell, I had no idea that was going to happen. I felt queasy after I ate it but then it just was awful after that.

I've been all about sugar free pudding and stuff again. I just figured I'd cheat on Saturday but I wasn't expecting THAT!!!!!!

I would cry too, I once had to shave my head because of a bad perm and I literally went out and bought a wig.

I would go somewhere else? I wouldn't except that color from the place you got it from, they didn't give you what you wanted. I have had yellow hair and green and.... everytime they have fixed it, even if it meant them trying twice because they are paid to know what will work.

Hope it works out xoxoxo

ILIEKFUDE · 02-11-2008, 12:04 PM

props for gettin in some workouts even tho its tough!

Oh, I would cry from having that too! Perms are terrible.

A friend of mine who went to cosmetology school is going to look at my hair tonight.

takniteasy · 02-11-2008, 02:12 PM

Sorry to read about the hair.

Glad to see you back, though. Have you done anymore circuits? I did 1st day this morning. I am officially a member of The Sgt. Caker Circuit Club.

Mrs Croft · 02-11-2008, 02:24 PM

Had to change it because my hair is just too damaged from bleaching it. Tired of my hair breaking off.

Yes I've done circuits but I might have to miss working out tonight cuz I'm getting my hair fixed. Craaaaaap.

Dragon Wolf · 02-11-2008, 03:50 PM

I am sure the hair looks nice! Don't sweat it!

T-Cake · 02-11-2008, 04:30 PM

Looks first, gym second

Get yo' hair fixed! And I was going to ask the same thing about "WTH didn't you just keep it plat?"

You're FINEEEEEE

I still

you. Do the workout tomorrow. A relaxing trip to the stylist will be nice(r)

I laughed so hard when I read your cake story. Gurrrrrrrrrllll...there's a reason my cheat meals have EVOLVED over time! The body just can't handle that stuff in those quantities anymore.

Sad... sorta... but true!

Pics of hair when you're "fixed up"!

I was gonna say the same thing, LOL.
There's a girl at work in her early 30s, going bald. So she shaves & has about 4, high quality wigs. Changes her hair whenever she wants.

Tweak · 02-12-2008, 06:20 AM

Annnnnnnnnd fixed. It looks prettier in real life but it's bathroom light-- what do you expect?

I like me blonde better. But I'm also not used to it. Gimme some time.

Yeah I know that I missed a run, but I would have been PISSED if I missed a circuit day. So, give me some credit. I missed the "easier" day.

If I wouldn't have gone to cosmetology school, I don't think I'd care about my hair as much. But for me, walking around like that was humiliating. Sounds stupid but I was so embarrassed being out of my house. Lame.
