Badgergrl's Journal

[FONT=Arial Black]I want to get in on this journaling! [/FONT] I just started cutting at the beginning of the month. Here are my stats:

Height: 5'4.5"
Weight:135
BF: Unsure....I think about 20%....I'll get it tested

Goals: to lose fat while maintaining muscle

I weight train 5 days a week, each bodypart once per week. No cardio yet, but I'm starting next week with probably 30 min. 3x per week.

I'll post pics if I can figure it out.
My diet's pretty damn clean right now. I'm shooting for 1500 cals a day at 50/30/20...p/c/f.....
I'll start posting my diet tomorrow. Feedback appreciated.

Did I forget anything??
 
:wavey: Welcome badgergrl! Good luck with your luck!

I think that is a great place to start :) Other than what you plan to do for training & your diet ... I think you got it covered so far. :D

Cals are a good median to start with & should keep you full ...

:wavey: I have a question. What do you guys think about my last meal. I never know if I should include carbs here or not. Since I train late at night, I only have one meal before going to bed. I know that most people say have carbs after a workout, but should I do this even before bed?
Also...how many carbs does it take to replace your glycogen storages anyway?

I would put in a good fat source there. Like all natural peanut butter or almonds or something like that.

Really? I make sure I have a fat source with my m5 which is my pwo meal. I was under the assumption I should. Am I totally off base here???? :worried:

B/C I cannot specifically think of the correct terms ... here is an explanation I had saved ... everyone has his/her own opinion about PWO CARBS, but keep this in mind ... PWO Protein is a must & fat PWO should be avoided ...

"While your post-workout feeding should be rich protein and carbohydrate, this meal should be fat free. The consumption of essential fats is one of the most overlooked areas of daily nutritional intake but during the post workout period, eating fat can actually decrease the effectiveness of your post-workout beverage. Since fat slows down transit through the stomach, eating fat during the post workout period may slow the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and proteins.

As your post workout feeding should be designed to promote the most rapid delivery of carbohydrates and protein to your depleted muscles, fats should be avoided during this time. "

Came from this link for references.

I THINK the time frame PWO is when your body is most anabolic and not as resistant to insulin ... so during this time there is potential FOR optimal nutrient uptake in your muscles ... so why bombard it with fat? I need someone to clarify here ...

I added some more detail to the prior post.

If I was in that situation, I would have the shake immediately PWO, wait at least an hour then have some fat before bed.

Simply put ... I would tweak my diet so it was in accordance with my goals ...

Moving to my log so not to high jack her's.
 
Thanks you two. Bunny, you're explanation of no pwo fats makes sense to me, but I'm still a little confused....why should I worry about getting fat in before bed? I mean, would it be ok to just have a protein shake and call it quits? And.....I'm getting that the pwo carbs aren't all that important?

You really need the protein as pwo to feed those muscles you worked so hard. :)

I have carbs pre & post workout, some swear by it others do NOT ... I'm testing things out for me given my 5am training session ... things are going VERY well for me btw, ...

Re: fat before bed ... my thoughts is Protein + Fat ... or slow digesting Protein ... I know m24k & some others use Casein Protein... It's hard to say ... if what you are doing is working for you at this time, I really wouldn't mess with it until you stall out or need to tweak things. It's completely up to you.
 
HI. Im glad to see another logger..WeLcOmE!!!!.. I looked at your pics and I THINK you will cut up awesome!!!!!

Thanks! I got mine a couple years ago. I want to add something to it to make it look a bit more feminine, but I don't know......
It was certainly appropriate for me. I don't know about you, but I definitley fit the scorpio profile. ;)

I did 690 on leg press tonight for 6 reps!!! :dance2:


Here is me doing 600 for 10 reps. I needed my photographer to spot on the 690.
 
Hey BG -- agreed w/ the above - you got a smokin' body going there. Wish I had that base! Nice peaks goin' too!

Congrats on the leg press -- my only comment about leg press - I love leg press & love to rack it up -- it also does a number on your lower back as far as stress on the vertebrae. If I were to tell anyone to do the uber heavy lifting for legs I'd probably point them away from the leg press.

Otherwise - looking fantastic!

You're right about the lower back stress. I seem to have this problem when I go heavy a lot of mass leg exercises. Which ones do you think are better?

My chiro informed me that I have a worn down vertebrae now which he attributed directly to leg press after he caught me pushing 5 plates in the gym (his office is next door). Since I'm not so much doign the mass pushing anymore, you do evil burning things w/ all sorts of lunges. I do mostly super & giant sets now, better form squats + sissy squats. Startign to incorporate front squats as well.

You aren't quite at my age yet so I'm sure you are ok w/ the leg press right now but its something to keep in mind. I never paid attention to that at all because I always had more trouble w/ good form squats & deads. Now I have to go light on the deads and watch my squats and really watch the leg press because my current gym has one of these leg presses where the seat is more like a comfortable recliner when I really need a solid back support.

Interestingly, one of the best leg workouts I ever got came while trainign w/ the local rugby team during the off-season. They pushed their trainer's Chevy Suburban back & forth across the parking lot.

SOmeone in another thread posted that those things are gross....what do you think of them?

By the way... WHOS EXCITED that its almost SUMMER???LOL .. ahh hhh I cant wait for finals to be here and over with :)
 
Gross?! I can't believe how delicious they are! :p
It makes me second guess the nutrition label.
But then again, things I totally took for granted before are starting to taste really freakin good since my diet's so much more restricted. You know?

Oh, and I can't wait to just focus on training and dieting when the semester's over. This last month has been hell for me. I sometimes feel like doing all of this is impossible, so it's good to know that someone else is right there with me. ;)

Just thought I'd share....I'm starting to feel like I'm leaning out, and I can see that my shoulders are getting some definition, so that's really exciting and motivating. ;)

I LOVE training shoulders just so I can watch them work! It IS very motivating to see the striations coming out! Good job! :)
 
Man..I soooo slept in today. I was really exausted. I've kind of said F it to morning cardio this week...I've been way too busy with school and work and everything, but I'll try to make up for it this weekend.

Question.... do any of you ladies have trouble sleeping through the night when you're dieting? I'm usually an extremely sound sleeper, but the past few weeks I've been waking up at least three or four times during the night. I wake up either to pee or I'm really thirsty. Any thoughts??

Have you always worked out at 10pm/late evening? I find that the later I work out, the later I fall asleep. and tend to have a broken night. Plus your last food intake is at 12.30am???

Since I've been taking zinc/magnesium before bed, I find I sleep like a baby and only wake if I've consumed a lot of water later in the day.

Basically, I'm asking if this has been your usual food/training pattern in terms of timing.
 
I've always trained at night, and it's never been an issue with my sleep before. It's really the only time I can get to the gym because of my schedule.

I may try the zma, though. Thanks Mermaid!

I had the same problem when I started the diet and training a while back... like in the beginning of my thread. Everyone said to try ZMA and it worked for a few nights but then I still had a problem. I was almost ANXIOUS to get up or something.... like b.c i started getting up so early in the am for cardio. Then I got this bedtime tea (chammomile/hibiscus/lavender) and it worked wonders for a while... still after a while I would wake every 3 hours for weeks. Then, as if I got used to whatever was making me not sleep... it stopped. I think it was b/c I would eat a fat+protein before bed... before I just drank a protein shake or ate a protein. COuld be.. maybe your body is used to eating on a schedule so thats why you wake.

SO many things could be at fault here... but I hope you sleep like a good baby tonight :) and every night after that..
 
Thanks Aries! Yeah, that's exactly how I feel..anxious to get up. I actually don't mind it YET, because I've struggled with getting out of bed my whole life. I am normally a seriously deep sleeper. You're probably right about my body being on an eating schedule.
Not a big deal. Just thought I would mention it. Thanks a bunch! :heart:
