Alright, so I over trained myself, wasn't eating enough (trying too hard to lean down after my cycle) mind you, I wan't being stupid, just coming up a bit short I guess.

So I think my Anemia is almost under control, who thought it could take so long?!?!? I'm no longer on a cyle (for the moment) and I'm only taking Calcium and Iron, I'm trying to get myself back to basics...thank god I still have my foundation, so I'm not starting from scratch or anything...

I've now taken roughly a couple weeks off from the gym, and am going in with a whole new game plan.

Can anyone give me any ideas on natural supps, diet, etc, to get my game back quicker than normal?

I train one set to failure, and I try to stay away from isolation, as I believe that my core and such can definitely benefit from any excercise.

I feel like I've got a good plan, however any insight is appreciated

thanks!

Thanks for the input! It's really appreciated

I will look into that.

Can you post up your diet?

I'm glad to hear everything's almost under control!

[any1uno]

I'd like to see your diet as well as your workout schedule. Curious to see what you have going on.

Happy to see you getting control of your anemia though..congrats on this.

Oh..and I agree with Kane...a ladies multi vit is a great start. Aminos and protein as well.

Thanks for the response!

My diet really does always vary, but some staples are chicken salad, chicken soup, sometimes tuna, eggs in the morning (often an egg/chicken wrap) cereal, soy milk, veggies, etc...

I eat Breakfast, fruit snack half way to lunch, lunch + a snack halfway to dinner, then dinner...right now I'm trying to keep my cals at about 1300 durin the weekdays, weekends usually about 2500 each day.

Any diet suggestions?

My training hasn't started yet, but I don't train my legs anymore (yet at least) as I burned them off practically, by doing cardio every morning for about an hour before work...so it's upper body once a week for now.

Sorry, that's really vague, but I'm at a weird spot, lol....

What are your goals?

[supercrunch]

yes we need to know your goals. I would say training one set to failure...given the different clues i have read in your posts, may be a no go right now. Once we get your goals we can set up a routine, then switch it up after about 4-6 weeks to keep you going without setbacks.

The basic supps mentioned are a good start. Remember the Creatine will cap out in your body within a month, so you will have to cycle off and on.

I will be doing another cycle, not sure quite when, but there will definitely be one.

As for my goals, right now I weigh 122lbs and my pics can be found in a different "member's pics" thread with the subject "muscleicious" Id post them here, but they're not on this computer.

I'd like to stay cut, as lean as possible (which I know is very hard while building muscle mass) but I'd like to have more muscle also, want to be a little bulkier.

Really want to work on my pecs, back and biceps the most, not to the point of being an upside down triangle, lol, but I feel these areas could always use a little improvement.

Core is huge for me right now, it's the weakest part of my body, so I definitely want to up my regime in that department.

Ass and legs will come next, gota keep those in tip top!

Thank you for writing that! It was incredibly well put and really made me think. You're right, it is definitely a long term thing, and can sometimes be easy to lose sight of. Have to keep the mind on the bigger picture.

I know I will never quit, a break is a break, just got really down the last time at the gym when I worked so hard to achieve what I did, and then lifting was so hard because of my health dip, very discouraging. However, that being said, I am definitely not a complainer, winer or a "woe is me, poor me" person, I will always get back up and keep fighting! But I think this little break helped as it pumped me up to get back in there and give it what I've got

Thanks again dw, great post!
