You are kicking ass in all areas girl, finding the time to log is an art lol...lord knows I let mine go at times for a couple of weeks. Anyway, for some interaction here, how do you feel strength and endurance wise? Energy levels from the N2 Burn & Keto Burn? How has it been adjusting to IF for you?? Just thought I would engage you into some discussion here ...kisses!!!

Re: "Be the change you want to see in the world" Mrs. MuscleAddictions Journey to Com

It's been awhile since I did IF and I remember that women can fast a bit less, if they need to. 14 and 10 I think. Sometimes just knowing that can help you through that last couple hours, if you're already doing the 16 and 8.

Are you training fasted?? (Not a loaded question either...I used to train fasted all the time. My schedule has changed so not so much anymore.)

Great job!!

Hey babe,
Thanks for putting me on the spot! I am feeling very strong and much more endurance. I feel like I can work out all day! Also I used to want to lie down and rest after workouts and now I am cleaning my house after!!! All seems to be good, I feel good, am seeing results already, and am more motivated than ever.
Thanks for all you do for me!

Hey girl,
Thanks for the input. I'm trying 16/8 but I am a little too hungry by the time noon rolls around so the hubby and i were discussing perhaps 12/12 or like you said 14/10 or whatever works best. I was feeling a little woozy first day but like I said the body has to adjust at first so before I change things up I'm gonna try it for a minute...
I am training in the morning early (4:30am) so yes I am training fasted, which I believe is beneficial for cardio as well. Once I got used to the early mornings I love the energy it gives me for the rest of the day.
Thanks for the support!

Re: "Be the change you want to see in the world" Mrs. MuscleAddictions Journey to Com

Hey girls... what up?
Just wanted to run a few things by ya'll.
First of all as I said before I am giving I.F. a try and my body seems to be adjusting well. I want to keep you all in the loop which is why I am making a HUGE effort to stay up on the log. Believe me I am the worst at keeping things going, I just seem to be on a roll and I want to keep going forward. You only live once & if I don't give it my all & try, I'll always wonder "what if?"... When I turned 40 I challenged myself to do a Triathlon. I just wanted to finish, but my friend who did it with me and I came in around 47 of 100 women. Pretty cool, I did again 2012 2 years later. Anyways getting way off track.

First of all: Psizzle, could I get your shoulder and leg workouts from you? I was reading cangirls' log and am intrigued! Let me know you can pm me if you want.

Second: I used a formula I got from Muscle & Fitness called "The Ultimate Clean Bulk" Quote: "...most important step in achieving any body composition goal..."
So I entered my numbers into the equation and came up with the following:

Calories:
16 per pound of body weight: 16 x 135 = 2160 calories
+
Protein:
1g per pound of body weight = 540 calories (135g protein)
+
Fat
25% of calories
2160 calories x 0.25 = 540 calories
+
Carbs:
Remaining calories
2160 + 540 + 540 = 1080 calories (270g carbs)

Quote: "Then test, assess, and adjust in the world to produce optimum results".
.
Just wanted you guys to weigh in as to your knowledge and if you think these numbers are good to start with and go from there.
Thanks again for your help.

OH, I also made a "vision board" and put pictures in a collage with motivational words too, so everyday I can look at the body that I want, ripped abs, nice ass, and bad ass arms...
Psizzle: OMG your avatar girl, can't remember her name right now, is one of them as she is one of the only chicks that doesn't have fake breasts. She is hot. Great physique. I hate that all the women have fake boobs, but at this point I will proudly accept that I will not look like that, I will look like ME, the beat I can be. We all have that power...let's use it.

Forgot to post my log for yesterday, it will be short as no workout yesterday. Haven't implemented the numbers for caloric intake, yet.
1/23/13 Wednesday

Food:
Meal 1: Noonish
2 boiled eggs
4 oz. chicken

Meal 2:
Banana
Greek yogurt w/ 1 scoop NTBM rocky road protein mixed in.

Meal 4:
Tilapia soaked in lemon juice rolled in bread crumbs (lightly)and then baked. (Turned out good)
Quinoa
Black beans
Broccoli

I had a little trouble with the Tilapia texture. I usually have fish with rice so this was new to me. I am a huge texture person, which makes it hard to find stuff to eat sometimes.
Thanks for listening again.
