Jake Di Vita Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 A big thing also to remember is to be eating complex carbs, preferably gluten free. Simple carbs are the sugars and other BS that is put into just about all processed foods now-a-days. Very empty calories that basically go straight to your belly, and also produce a nasty spike in insulin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 9/26/07 I dropped the speed of the treadmill down to 4.5mph and was able to complete my three miles without any issues. 1 hour X2 people (so really 30min) on lower body weights. My dogs are barking. Kind of slipped on the diet today. Was invited to lunch today and had a burger, fries and two beers. I should have ran another mile for that slip up.

BEDELLCUSTOM Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 not a big deal to cheat once in a while, you need a break from it sometimes but then get back to business! The hardwork will payoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I agree. Having a day a week to just pig out is great for your morale and doesn't hurt you too much if you were strong during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 9/28/07 3 more miles on the treadmill tonight for a total of 9 miles for the week. Upper body free weights, man do those free weights feel heavier than the machine weights. See some of you at the Michigan Sectional on Sunday. -goal to be below 200lbs by the end of the year and keep it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 Just got in from the Michigan Sectional... I can't say enough about the match staff, everyone did a excellent job which made the match run very smooth. Even Brian and Annette all the way from Arizona (congrats on the match win) gave the match staff cudos for doing a great job. I'm trying to pull out all the positives things I did at this match but lets face when you're trying to get your weight down without throwing a couple of practice sessions in there a week, even if it's dry fire, I can't expect to keep up at my current level. I received some encouraging words from a few people and they said my shooting is better than last year. Another friend of mine explained that this is a rebuilding year not only for my health but for my shooting as well. This match is now in the record books and congrats to all the winners. I'll see some of you at the Western PA match PS someone needs to bump up Chad Gunder, I don't think I ever seen an open shooter zero (0) a stage and still take first place in his class.

Thomas Moore Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Haven't been able to do much this week. Besides being on-call I also pulled a groin muscle, damn that hurts. Hopefully I'll be back at it tomorrow. -goal to be below 200lbs by the end of the year and keep it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 One more day of On Call and I'm back in the gym. Two weeks straight sucks ass. On a good note I've been watching what I'm eating and my weight is down to 210lbs which was 226lbs on that same scale one month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Moore Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share Posted October 14, 2007 Going to the gym and working out is paying off for me. I can really see the results, I'm not tired after a match nor do my legs hurt on the drive home. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I know in my heart with hard work and dedication I will reach my goals and beyond. This is my first ever division win other than a local matches. This just makes me want to get in the gym and work harder. I can't wait to see what awaits for me in the future. Thanks for all the kudos. And thanks goes out to all the staff, with out them we wouldn't have a match to shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Moore Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 This should probably go in the "What I Hate" forum. What I hate... I allowed myself to get lazy the last three weeks because I made the excuse I couldn't work out while being oncall. My oncall ended on Oct 12th and this morning is the first time I have ran since September 26th. There is no excuses and I take full responsibility. I have less than one month before the Area 2 match, oh and did I mention the wife and I are going to hike down the Grand Canyon after the match? So I'd better get my ass back on the treadmill which is why I'm starting twoadays, that's right I will run in the morning and after work with weight training in the evening. 10/17/07 2 miles on the mill this morning with a protein shake after the run.

Jake Di Vita Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Good job, make sure you refuel properly (within 30 minutes - this is critical) after both workouts so you properly replace your glycogen stores which will help you recover more quickly. The faster you recover, the sooner you can do another work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD Williamson Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Keep it up Thomas and you are starting to scare me into practice again before the Area 2. BTW we just got in the match last week. Congrats on the win in PA!! Lets get together for a salad and a beer at the RWB. Are we going to see you for Tues Steel this year?? Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Brian, we'll definately get together for dinner as for Tuesday steel I'm going to pass this year. The wife and I want to hike the Grand Canyon this year, we only made it a quarter of the way down last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 The twoadays aren't going so well. It's too much too fast. I need to learn to walk before I run so to speak. I went from running every other day to twice a day, so now I'll go back and try once a day for 45-60 minutes at a time. A friend of mine, Phil Carreira ran the Detroit Marathon yesterday. This gives me motivation because Phil used to be bigger than me and now he's trim and in great shape other than round. I had a match this weekend (six stage classifier) and I was able to pull out one GM score and the rest were crap. Halloween is around the corner and it's killing me to see the wife bring in 10lbs of candy for the kids when I'm trying to watch what I eat. I may sneak a couple of pieces but I won't go crazy like I did last year and eat an entire bag of baby kitkats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Stay strong Tom. Instead of doing 2 a days with running. Why don't you run once a day and workout once a day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 run once a day and workout once a day jake are you saying run m-w-f and work out t-th-s? or run in the morning and workout in the evening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Whatever you can do right now. Personally I run a few times a week (3 or 4) and workout at night. I just started working for a tree service business so I am doing manual labor throughout the day and will adjust my training plan accordingly. Try either one for a week or see. If you are feeling lethargic, tired, irritable, or sick, you are probably overreaching and should back down a bit. Overreaching for a long time leads to overtraining which can stymie your advancement for weeks or even months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Moore Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks Jake. 10/22/07 60 minutes on the treadmill tonight. I got as far as 4.5 miles. I was able to incorporate some sprints and steep hill climbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overreaching for a long time leads to overtraining which can stymie your advancement for weeks or even months. Jake, you are 100% saying that. Your body will tell you what is right and wrong. "Machine mode" (never getting tired doing anything) took almost 2 years of training while I was in the Army. I got to the point that it was almost scarey. Don't push is too hard just give it some time. I'm trying to get there but I don't think that the goals of yesteryear are attainable. I can at least get close. While I was young 2 mile run, best time was 9:48. Goal now is 11:00. I'll get there. Machine mode.... Man wouldn't that be nice again. Chris C.
