Circuit training for tri/marathon training.

Stomach has gotten tighter. Legs are leaning out. Back/shoulders/arms are getting ridiculous.

oh ohhhhhh the boys can almost see the :boobs: they are going to be drooling like a lot of school boys :grin:

you are lookin goooodddd girl :jumpjoy: back looks awesome!!!

[Tweak]

My back is SHOCKING to me. When I brush my hair, everything's all poppin out and holy crap. I love it. My stomach and thighs look so much better now than they ever have. I'm melting.

Also, I'm afraid I'm gonna lose the :boobs:. For real, I love them. I don't wanna get so lean that they disappear on me.

[methyl mike]

Sup girl! You look GREAT never change a thing.

[Fit Mum]

Considering how well your leaning out, I wouldn't worry to much about the boobage if I were you. You would have lost them already if they were gonna go. :)
I have leaned out a far bit myself but for some reason I can never wear pants like that.
ANY TIPS???? lol. :)

[Bluebird]

Wow! Looking great, Tweak. Yessum, your back-yowsa.

[Big Sky Guy]

Your back looks fantastic and you got abs coming in already! I bet that feels wonderful!

[IliekFude]

yr back looks great, dont worry about it. honestly!
tum def looks tight too, hip cuts commin in.
nice work.

Honestly, I think the combination of all the running I've been doing, plus the Bulgarian Split squats/good mornings are what is making all the different. I could never wear undies like that and have them look ok before.:wiggle:

Thank you, guys. Can't really see the hip lines... I should have waited til this morning when I got up and peed to take the pics of my stomach, it's much more defined. I'm VERY excited that my abs are starting to cut. :elephant:

Also, I'm glad to hear that I'm not going to lose my chest too much!

[JayC]

oh ohhhhhh the boys can almost see the :boobs: they are going to be drooling like a lot of school boys :grin:

MORE PICS!!!:D

:bmj:

[Florencia]

Tell me about your training!
Do you do Olympic Distance tri's and/or Sprints?
Well maybe even Long distance Triathlon.

Do you train twice a day? I think Cycling helps hips lean out or so I feel it, when I ride.

[Mackman]

Wow for sure, more pics and move your arm:drool:
Your single cause you want to be with that body girl.:biggthumpup:

I'm new to triathlons. I'm VERY excited about it. I'm starting out with short course ones.

my first tri is in July. It should be pretty simple-- about .5 a mile swim, 15 miles bike, 3 miles running.

I was a distance swimmer in college (66 lengths of the pool) so the swimming is the least of my worries. I'm not worried about biking either. I mainly am focusing on my running for now since I am also new to that.

Right now T Cake has me doing circuit training TRSu, running MWSa with Fridays off. I'm trying to build up my pain tolerance and endurance while shedding bodyfat and gaining some muscle in my legs (Which have never REALLY been in shape prior to this)

So... that's about it so far. I have a half marathon in June and the tri in July. I'm going to be a busy girl!

[T-Cake]

I'm going to call you WonderWoman II here pretty soon! :super:

[Tweak]

I'm called Tstrong (get it-- strong, not weak) on another board. that works for me.

I don't wanna step on WW's toes!! :)

BF is a triathlete, I did a sprint in 2002 and won 2nd place.
We were four LOL...any how I do think the run is the worst part.
Do practice alot of transitions!! You can gain alot of time.
And place a small towel with your tennis shoes with elastic laces, your cap and gu, rieady for when you get off the bike.
Remember you have to take your helmet off once you "park" your bike, not before or you may get penalized...

:D

GREAT advice! Yeah I've never even had Gu. lol I feel like a fake athlete. Wah waaaaaaaaaaah. :lol:

I don't even OWN a helmet yet. I'm a little bit behind!!

I had the day off and went in my parent's hot tub this afternoon.

Just a few shots.

[MR. BMJ]

Are you using YohimburnES (YES) at all?

It will help with that lower stubborn bodyfat area. If you are already using it, just keep applying it:)

Looking good, nice progress!

BMJ
:bmj:

[dubdubs]

oh I miss my hot tub... !

Looking good girl. You look leaner than in your last pics... Great job!

[Tweak]

Yah, I'm using Yohimburn. I've always had "soggy" thighs. This is a huge improvement over where they've been, trust me.

[MR. BMJ]

They are not bad at all, you just need to consistently stay at it until you reach your goal. Which is basically just giving yourself time to reach that level. You already know that though;)

BMJ
:bmj:

[Florencia]

Flor has been MIA!
But I am here now.
More advice for your race, place the gu on the bike frame where it is easy for you to grab it
If you use scotch tape on the dotted line, you can just yank it off and it will be open when it reaches your lips.
Water bottle is a must for gu to go down.
I am sure you will have fun!!!

I'm excited cuz the snow is starting to melt around here a little bit. I really wanna get out on the bike!

I joined the Minnesota Triathlon Club a few days ago. They have group workouts and help you learn how to transition and stuff. I've never done any of this. I'm actually thinking of scrapping my half marathon for now and just focusing on my triathlon.

Looking good. I know what you mean about your back, You dont see if straight on all the time in good light. You take a picture and you're thinking Holy sh!t.

Nice work

[bigsix]

Keep up the great work!:tongue2:

[Tweak]

Thanks guys. :flowers:

[Sarge]

GREAT Back

How long have you been weight training? Or is that from swimming or genetics perhaps? ;)

Worked mildly with weights in college from 2000-2004. Hit em harder in 2005 on my own, on and off in 2006 and 2007. Hitting them hard now.

My back is due to 10 years of swimming and pretty much not kicking my legs. lol :)

Working widdling down the lower half. Oof!

[Mackman]

Very nice progression, you should be proud=definitely hawt.

BF has a friend who trains there...He is from Mexico as well...He lives in St.Paul...
Did you do that "frozen" race about a month ago?

[Tweak]

I did the frozen 5k for the Saint Paul Winter Carnival, but nothing big. There was a half marathon that day but I didn't do that. Is that what you're talking about??

[GTLifter]

looking good.

[dumbaznboy]

wow...hot!

some before shots perhaps?

man, i need to get on getting some of my pics up.

[Tweak]

These are the only progress pics I have over the last 6 weeks for now. I'll get one of my back and legs later this week.

shush it... you look great.

plus you got nice tatas :coolred: - You are working hard, that is what counts :grin:

[Tweak]

lol @ tatas.

I took the flexing one last night and you can clearly tell I was pissed off/frustrated from my eyes in that one. lol

[bigsix]

Def noticeable difference in the biceps. Awesome work!

[Tweak]

Thanks, bixsix. :)

I guess these pics aren't really doing me much justice. You can see a difference in my shoulders, bis, and stomach from these shots. My back and shoulders are much leaner than they used to be. Legs/hips have made progress but still aren't quite there yet.

Yes you are correct. You can tell a diff in all those. I especially see a dif with the bi's, lats, and your tri's look harder as well. As a side note, another big difference between the two are your hair and the clothing. :)

Florencia, I'm not giving up. I just hit a psychological wall with that trainer last week. I'm okay now. There's a huge difference. I see it! :)

[GTLifter]

Congrats on the progress, you're looking better and better every time.

[bigsix]

There is a big difference in everything. Keep it up!

Btw, you're hot. And you're tough as hell. So yup, you can totally be adopted into our family. :)

don't be shot.. we have those days. At night my stomach has no definition, lol.

Oh btw I got my haircut and got bangs too, ugh... have to get used to them and they are all frizzy right now from not straightening them.

girl you have made lots of gains.. looking great :roses:

[Tweak]

Don't be "shot"? :)

Pics of the haircut! When you say "bangs" does that mean they go straight across or they swoop or ???

Thank you! I'm feelin' pretty good with my progress.

[Ulter]

You should be feeling great. You're smokin hot and getting tighter. Nice work.

[kweenkandykorn]

T-Cake knows her shit I see- you have made some serious progress in a short time !!! ( she wrote you a program right?? I thought I read that earlier in your journal. ) Way to go!! :Rawk:

[sassy69]

Bodyfat loss is a subtle thing - photos, like the scale, are just data points. If you're noticing your clothes fitting diffferently, unless you actually get pinched for bodyfat measure, that's usually the most dramatic indicator.

Keep killing it! Are you feeling other differences? Stronger? More endurance? Sleep better? Greater sense of well-being? More relaxed in daily life (i.e. you've got an aggressive physical outlet for stress!)

Thanks Sassy!!! :kiss:

Yes, my clothes are falling off. I've had to buy smaller sizes of stuff in the last few weeks (when I have the money), but I won't buy NICE expensive ones til later.

I'm feeling big differences. MUCH stronger for one, my endurance is great, I sleep like a rock (but I do find it hard to wake up). I feel a lot better about myself overall and I LOVE that I have very defined shadows on my shoulders/arms at the gym now when I am just walking by the mirror. It feels great. :)

Butt is lifting, thighs are shrinking, legs are getting more defined. Even when I was putting lotion on my legs a few days ago, I was smiling because my legs feel hard. I love it. :)

This is allllll that matters!

And you are taking pics in fairly bright direct light which washes out all the shadows that would be created by the shape of a muscle...hence the muscles tend to look more flat and shapeless than they really are. Solution is to find some indirect lighting...more like from 45 degrees to the side that casts nice shadows and then set the camera on time delay and have fun!

You look gorgeous anyway...so have fun with it!

[get456]

more naked(ish) march pictures!! :fishing:





oh and nice progress... sorry distracted by boobies :evil[1]:

[Ivanko]

You look great :biggthumpup: and I hope it doesn't snow another 8" in minny again like last week it almost got me to move....

Thank you for the links! I'm totally going to look at those later tonight! (Too busy at work today to do much of anything non-work related!)

[*Bunny*]

Im going to say this 1st and foremost since I am pretty sure you already KNOW what I think but for the others, lest they think Im being critical.

You are looking really good Abs.

You are quite stunning IMO.

Now, REMEMBER... patience, the bottom WILL catch up.

And your stomach getting tighter faster, that is the part of you that IMO is tightening the quickest. As far as any faster on one end you may end up with loose skin and the other, YOU KNOW what I am going to say about your diet and the lack of you COOKING your food, i.e. more real less convenience.

If you expect superior results to have to fill yourself with superior foods.


You get what you put in, and you are putting in ALOT of hard work, so be patient and enjoy this while you can still eat pretty freely and have your boobs.


You are gorgeous.

kisses.

I was a total slacker on food, water intake, and supplements the last week and a half due to the move... so I know that slowed me down.

Stunning?? Wow, really? Gosh, I don't even know what to say to that. Thank you. :) :rose:

I'm not too worried about the booty. It'll happen for me, it's just a matter of getting out there and discovering hills in the new town I moved to. I found some steps/hills yesterday for me to run, so I'll give those a whirl in the next few weeks. :)

I love my boobs, I don't want them to shrink much more! :boobs:

Thank you for the vote of confidence!!!

[*Bunny*]

I was looking at all the pics and yes think you a re striking.

I love the nose stud

http://www.afboard.com/forum/3987-post31.html

[Tweak]

I love the nose stud.

Thank you! My mom flipped out when I got it done at 23. She called me white trash and said I'd lose my job and end up in the gutter. :rofl:

[Raina]

Ahhh the nose piercing. It's so tiny you barely notice it in person.

I liked when she found out about my belly ring and gave me a snooty look and said "well that's trashy".

[Caligula]

Wow! You look fantastic!!!!

[dubdubs]

I am gonna take a stab at this and only because you are really busting your balls in the gym. I think its time to change your diet, My opinion. You are really looking great but your body may need more food and unfortunately for you to tighten it up you will have to eat food that you prepare yourself. Not that you have to give up those dulce leche puddings. I use to have those but chocolate of course when I first initiated the diet. I was burning fat so quickly that I could splurge on the sugarfree ones every now and then. And I treated myself to a weekly cheat meal. NO your goals are not mine, but I could see you tightening up much quicker if you gave your body a CHANGE.

Besides my opinion you look smashing and yes that beanpole of an ex couldn't handle you mama cause you are all woman.

You look FAB :drinkbuds: btw whenever I see those puddings I think of you mamasita and NOW I too want a little itsy bitsy nose piercing..

xoxoxoxoxoxo :hi5:

Get your nose done if you want it done! It doesn't hurt at all. I'm the biggest wuss on earth. It takes 15 seconds to do, probably less than that. It's awesome, I love it.

I don't eat the SF puddings anymore-- I kicked em the same time Holly kicked her rice puddings. I think I did that the day before she did. I had to stop having them in the house because otherwise that was all I'd eat. I've switched to SF jello.

I think a big thing is that I am a total slacker on water intake. As in, 2 liters a day on a good day in the last month.

Giving up certain foods and eating more of other things is really not an issue for me. I generally go for whatever is fastest/easiest, but I understand that I have to sacrifice more time in order to do that. I already feel like this lifestyle consumes me 24 hours a day, so I'm just mildly irritated that I have to give up additional free time to do something I detest-- cooking/cleaning up afterwards. Hate hate hate.

[LanT]

Great delts on you girl! Not to mention everything else:)

good job. love that back :)

[jagerbombme]

LMFAO!!!

[Ulter]

Has the sun come out for the Spring up there yet?
Your body is looking great Tweak. A little color may be good.

[Tweak]

lol @ my next bf being a jerk. Hopefully I'll break the streak o jerks I've encountered next time around. ;)

Everything's tighter. I'm completely in love with the ripples in my back. Sorry, I'm gonna show it off.

Something weird with this camera and my bathroom-- the lighting seems to change A LOT. I don't get it. Maybe the camera is on a weird setting. I have no idea.

I'm going to cook all my foods and stay away from processed stuff from now on. I think I'll have much better results.

Leg pics will be more frequent now that it doesn't suck outside here in Minnesota and I got a bike.

[T-Cake]

Great photos!!! :kiss:

And WOOHOO for less processed. I've done NO-processed and made it like, a day. :rofl: The SBD cookbook is going to be your new BFF for this, certainly. Even just kicking out the frozen foods would be a big help. I thought I was going to panic and die when I gave up frozen meals 2 years ago... but now I don't miss them a bit! Leftovers from last night's dinner are always WAY more tasty -- and I open my lunchbox EXCITED to eat. :coolred: ;)

Proud of you. Kickass progress in just a few short months :D

[Sue Me]

Keep the the good work - I just did a 6mi run on Sat. to help prep for my August Tri. 9:45 min miles....not good, but my first race ever, so not too disappointed.

Yours is in July, right? How's the training?

[Mike Miller]

You look great!!

Thanks, girly! The processed food thing will be a battle. I'm not including cheese or tuna fish in this-- I just mean no more SB products. Yay.

Training's going well sans being terrified of the bike. lol. I took my bike out for the first time yesterday and I felt like my life was in jeopardy for the most of the ride.

My mile times are right around yours-- I don't think that's bad at all!! Are you doing long or short course? I'm only doing a short in July.


You look great!!

:kiss: Thank you!

[*Bunny*]

(1) You look awesome Tweak. Great work. :)
(2) Never apologize for showing off your hard work. It motivates and inspires people.
(3) You better be taking those lower body shots even if you're not posting them, trust me, you will need them.


:rose:

[warmpain]

Fantastic! You look so good. :)

Thank you! I'm pretty proud of myself. I hope I continue seeing noticeable results every 2 weeks!

[Tweak]

My lower body is starting to catch up with my upper body. All I can say is, trust me on that. The lighting in my apartment is dreadful. My bedroom has worse lighting than my bathroom, but my bathroom mirror is too short to get leg pics.

Bargh.

I'm going to redo my stomach picture cuz it was distorted. I wasn't standing as tall in the updated pic as the one from a few weeks ago so it isn't a good comparison.

My traps have been frickin' killing me since Saturday. lol @ the lines from my sports bra straps on them in that pic.

I was 158 when I got on the scale this morning. I'm thinking T Cake and everyone is right. I'm gaining mass now so I stopped dropping on the scale. That's fine-- my clothes are still getting looser. ;)

[MR. BMJ]

I cxan see some middle back thickness improvement from April to May....which is more than likely from fat loss and bringing them out more.

Good job!!!

me thinks you don't have to worry about that number on the scale!!! you look friggin fantastic! and if the cloths are getting looser there is your proof.

Your upper body is nicely all around porportioned... if that makes any sense, if you know what I mean!.

[Raina]

Your clothes are hanging on you. You're clearly smaller and you look great!

Good girl. :) Keep saying that enough and you'll start to actually believe it. Trust me. :rose: Sassy told me, like, a year ago to stop weighing myself -- and I still did it every morning from Aug to Nov. Finally I just stopped caring altogether -- and WHAM I was able to focus on my physical success and not a stupid number.

I'm actually proud when I get on the Stairmill now and type in "170" for my weight. :rofl: I'm sure the people behind me are laughing like, "YEAH RIGHT!!!" ;)

[Tweak]

Thank you, guys. :)


Stomach picture-- retaken as promised yesterday.

I'm hitting a point where I have to lift up my bra because my boobs are distorting the progress on my stomach from the gravity. I know it looks stupid but seriously, you can't really tell a difference in my stomach if I don't. I didn't USED to have to do that but with how my body is losing fat, at this point it's the only way I can make it noticeable.

[Ulter]

Which one is closer to your period?

[Tweak]

Which one is closer to your period?

Probably the April 20th one.

[Tweak]

Which one is closer to your period?

They're actually about equal distances. April 20 was a week away from getting it, this morning's was a week after it was done.

[Ulter]

Okay thanks, just trying to predict your mood when you get here.



:jk:

I have to go back and check your log. What did you eat the day before each pic and are they both the same time of day?

[trivial]

Lol.....give that man a good kick in the ass for that.....lol.

LOL! Shut up.

I don't know what the hell I ate the day before my pictures? Pic on the left was at night, pic on the right was this morning.

[Ulter]

You look smaller but softer in the later one. I would guess you had more carbs the day before the later one because it looks like carb or menstrual puffiness. You did get smaller though.

I'm going to start photoshopping my face on WonderWoman's body then. lol

You and me both, hun. Lol.

WW won't mind.

Ulter, I did heavier carbs yesterday because it was my heavy day. So that could be why.

[Big Sky's Bride]

Look great!

What is your goal?

[Tweak]

Hey guys, I have some color to my flesh!

Looks like the Florida Sun did you some good. ;)

[JayC]

Great job Tweak, great job!!!!

[Drag]

Good job Tweak. Looking EXCELLENT. You can even tell from your posts that your attitude towards all of this is changing.

You're looking lean and ultra, ultra sexy. If I wasn't married - I'd ask ya out! haha.

On the real - good luck in the Lifetime Tri. I competed in two tri's last year - one in White Bear Lake and one in Stillwater in the River (that one sucked - HELLA current). I'm not a swimmer, so that was the challenge for me. I also trained a few times with the Lifetime team - they are a good (and ultra dedicated) group of people.. I also got hooked up with a couple of other smaller groups in Edina and Plymouth and trained on occassion. I haven't done a THING in the past 6 months as my wife and I have been remodeling our new (to us) house in Richfield, but if you ever want to get out and have a training partner, I could join you on your shorter runs until I get back into it. I'm in Richfield so I'm pretty central to everything.

Congrats on ALL of your progress and hard work.. You looking fucking great!

[Tweak]

Oh geez, I feel awesome that you met me once and now you're seeing these pics. lol. HI DUSTIN! :wavey3:

Hi dude! :)

Thank you so much for the support and for offering to help me! :bear: Truthfully, I'm okay on the run and the swim... it's the BIKE that gives me a psychological breakdown. I'm getting better but I'm terrified about wiping out while clipped in. My tri is less than a month away and I'm still afraid of my bike. SIGgggggggggh. :lame:

I'm in Saint Louis Park, so I'm not far from you. I'll let you know if I need help though, I really appreciate it! :cheer:

[Drag]

Oh man - if you haven't ate shit while clipped in - it's just a matter of time. I've ate it while clipped a hundred times. Heck, I fall over at stop lights STILL to this day while clipped in. I'm not a biker - so my mental state can't get past the feeling of not just pulling my feet out. Maybe my clips are too tight.

You'll do great! I'm close - hit me up if you ever want to run or bike.

Great work lady. Doing awesome! The Lifetime Tri is an awesome accomplishment!

You're gonna fall at some point sweety! I promise. And I also promise it won't hurt NEAR as bad as you think it will. You'll be fine.

Go out and ride and enjoy it.


Practice transition and blocks. Both. Transitions, transitions, transitions. People always seem to think "how hard can it be?" until you do one.

Do it up!
