School is over, finally!! I have no idea what this summer is going to bring contest wise. I'll just have to see how things go and figure it out as I go.
Summer Goals:
Lifting - 3x upper body
Cardio - 9x per week/1 hr each time
Diet - less carbs, more protein

9x per week? Are you serious? That's way too much cardio.

vdk_au - definitely not going to start out doing that much. Probably start this week out at 3 hours but I do want to drop some body fat and then be able to mantain what I did oer the summer when classes start. 9 hours in a maximum, it'll probably end up being 6 hours.
First time back in the gym in about a month. It went pretty well. I don't want to push it this week, so I am just feeling things out to figure out weight and reps for next week. It felt GREAT to be back though.
50 minutes
Bench Press 45-6-8-7 (my and bench do NOT get along. . . . grrrrrr)
DB Flyes - 15-8-8
Assisted Chin Up - 34-5-5-5
Seated Rows - 50-5-5
DB Rear Lateral Raise - 10-8-8-8

Friend's car is in the shop so I haven't been to the gym since Tuesday. I'm still aiming to get some workout in today.
I'm not sure how much I'll be working out for a while. The anorexia urges are coming back really strong so I have to be really careful.

Felt a little better working out. I didn't even wear my usually shorts and sports bra. I wore pants and a tank top, which I've never done before in Baltimore. I am just ashamed with how I look, espeically my lower body.

I won't be doing that much cardio. My blood pressure has been really low lately so I haven't been doing any cardio, just that one day for 30 minutes.
I know all about what restricting does. Anorexia is not fun and as much as I don't want to go back there, I'd love to lose some weight. The thoughts/urges are just really strong right now.
As for losing body fat, since I have to be careful with eating because of the past anorexia, I planned to do more cardio in order to compensate for a less than perfect diet. I don't know when I'll be doing cardio again. I need to get my blood pressure up first.

As for the cardio Sophie, I still don't think you need to be doing that much in a week. Pardon me if I say anything offensive, but I personally believe you're still have that fear of being too fat, and thus you are doing heaps of cardio. If I were you, I'd probably lower the amount of exercises that are done, and do a higher intensity training, lifting slightly heavier weights, and add 3 days of medium intensity cardio.

I haven't really been doing any cardio yet. My blood pressure had been really low and I was taking is super easy. I think it's back up in the normal range now though.
The reason I want to do so much, when I do get to it, is because I am scared to limit myself in what I cn and cannot eat so my diet will not be the greatest and I figure I can make up some of the difference with cardio.

Why don't you sit down w/ a nutritionist and come up with a diet so you know what you can eat everyday? Then you won't have to worry about making up for over eating with tons of cardio.

I don't eat too much. I don't want to limit myself on what kinds of foods I can eat. It's taken almost 20 years to be able to eat almost whatever I want and I don't wnat to starting limiting intake of any certain food now.
So instead of limiting carbs, which I would do had I not had anorexia and been hospitalized, I'll just do more cardio.

You don't eat too much, thus the more reason you shouldn't be doing too much cardio. I'm telling you that you shouldn't be doing that much. Like I said before, personally I believe you still have that impression that you're "too fat" and thus need to do heaps of cardio to counter that, but you don't. Try like I said before go more towards a higher intensity training, instead of training smaller weights, and doing heaps of exercises in the same workout, and just include cardio training 3x max a week, and I'm sure you'll be on your way to a more leaner body! :D
