Telly

check back in a week

Welp, I just finished Massage Therapy & Entero Lavage Therapy school and I'm all spent. Now I have to play "catch up" with my work load and get back into the groove of things as I prepare for the State Boards.

I worked out religiously most of my time in school with the exception of the last 3 weeks, where truthfully I have been in the gym, maybe 3 times. Tomorrow is back to the workout grind so that I can get my pump back.

Holy crapola! You have done a fantastic job! I saw your older pictures and your newer ones!

Amazing progress! Never Stop!

Tricia_K, Funnyduddies & Telly

Congrats on your promotion. Seems as though many doors have opened up. That's a great thing.

Awwww, I hope you feel better.

145lbs ish...

Weight ranges from 145 - 152lbs depending on how strong my workouts are and how hungry I get after a workout. I am completely unfilled and trying to fight this without the fill.

She's done a fantastic job. She looks great!

I used to mash them up in one of those Drug Medicine bowls. Now I just take them whole. I'd suggest you mash them up till your band loosens up a bit and put them in a blender, inside of your shake. It used to work for me.

Lipo6 is a medium sized liquid capsule. It goes down pretty easily, I think. Horse pills are hard to swallow so i have one of those pill crusher thingy's.

A friend asked me..on another forum, what supplements I am taking.. thought I'd post them here for anyone who would like to know.

Fish Oil, 1,000 - has Omega 3's fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Helps to maintain heart and vascular health.

Nitro Explosion - Has creatine, glucuronolactone, vincamine, caffeine and keyt amino acids, including L-arginine which is an essential precursor of nitric oxide which helps maintain blood vessel tone. The formula is equipped with electrolytes that the body can lose during intense workouts. Electrolytes help to regulate body fluids and important functions, such as muscle contraction. So yeah.....it boosts workouts (taken 30 min before) and also helps speed up the recovery of your muscles

Biotin - helps promote growth and health of the hair, skin and nails.

GNC's Women's Ultra Mega ACTIVE multi-vitamin - (This is an awesome new product) - It's premium performance multivitamin formula is for active women. Energy production, electrolyte replacement, bone health and antioxident support.

MRM BCAA+G - An Amino Acid - You probably know that amino acids are the building blocks of protein. When you eat a protein food, it gets digested in the stomach and intestine into individual amino acids and short chains of amino acids that are small enough to be absorbed into the bloodstream. These amino acids have far reaching effects in the body from building and repairing tissues, to producing chemicals that enable our brains to function optimally. Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. You must get them from complete protein foods or combinations of incomplete vegetable foods. There are 9 essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids.

EAS - Phosphagen (I dont take this anymore but will again in a few months)

Phosphagen from EAS uses carbohydrates for triggering insulin thereby transporting creatine more effectively. Apart from increased creatine delivery, Phosphagen increases cell volume and accelerates muscle gain. You should mix it well in water or juice and drink four servings for 5 days. Gradually decrease the intake to 1-2 servings in a day.

The phosphagens are energy storage compounds, also known as high energy phosphate compounds, are chiefly found in muscular tissue in animals. They allow a high energy phosphate pool to be maintained in a concentration range which, if it all were ATP, would create problems due to the ATP consuming reactions in these tissues. As muscle tissues can have sudden demands for lots of energy, these compounds can maintain a reserve of high energy phosphates that can kick in as needed, to provide the energy that could not be immediately supplied by glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation.

I drink:

Isopure - whey protein isolate (more pure and higher quality protein about 90-98% pure and less fat and lactose per serving)

Myoplex Lite - whey protein concentrate (concentrate - about 70-85% pure, the rest, fat and lactose)

Spiru-tein - soy protein - also known as a plant protein (phytoestrogens) which is a plant estrogen.

Lipo6 - Fat Loss excellerator - thermogenics

That's about it I think, lol...

Ladies, thank you. We got this! Right?

Made a new friend who happens to be a personal trainer as well as a recent former men's figure/fitness natural competition....checked out my program and also my food. I was doing some wrong things. He tweaked it a bit.

Here's my new regimine. I created a personal webpage for my transformation.

http://www.angelfire.com/crazy/tellytell/beginning/

They do the body fat % which calculates your current weight, waist size and age. Compared to my old bodyfat % number. So say I lose 10lbs and my waist is now a 24inches from 29 inches, my scale reads 125lbs..my height is 5ft 3... compared to before, it will show the difference and gain in muscle.

I am at 25.06% body fat from 38% and I am trying to get to 12 - 15% boyfat by Spring. It's time to kick some serious Telly ass.

Been lifting kinda heavy for me. I have been hitting some all time highs with 65 - 95lbs in the arms muscle groups.

Legs - 235lbs leg press

Squats - 100lbs (working on 155lbs)

As you can see by my pictures, I am not comfortable with anyone else taking my photos.

Short-term goal: Drop 15 - 20lbs by the first of the year

Long-term goal: Drop 10-15% in body fat

Long-term goal: Gain 5lbs of muscle

There is a shadow on my bicep, lol..in case you think it's muscle you see here. NOT!:speechles
