Definitely. Working on diet is an ever-evolving process. You will always be makin tweaks and changes. Focus on clean, whole foods and the rest will work itself out as you work on it.

Bad days happen to everyone. Don't let it get you down. You can always make better choices tomorrow.

Sick around - the women here have a lot of knowledge. We also are honest and willing to help. You'll learn a lot an make some great gains!
 
Thanks for all the support - friendly forum :)

Diets & I are old friends! I've never been big, but I've always wanted to change a bit here and there... Typical woman!

Goals sounds like a great idea!

1. Hit 3xweights & 2xHIIT per week
2. Allow 1 treat meal, and clean the rest of the time
3. Hit target macros (40/30/30)

So! Trying again today.

B1 - Scrambled eggs (2) and beans
Workout - HIIT (no weights due to climbing tomorrow) & Day 1 of NROL4W
B2 - Protein shake
L. Salad & Protein powder, berries and milk smoothie
S. Macadamia nuts
D. Chicken salad with avocado, cucumber, tomatoes and oil

I *hope* this looks a little bit better! Off to the gym.

Have a good day all!

Today does look much better nice work. If I was going to be very picky I would say for your lunch it might be better to have chicken salad vs the protein powder smoothie because protein powder although good for you is processed and overall I like to try to stick to whole foods a much as possible. Shakes are best left to post workout and sometimes preworkout.

I can def see the point to this. Protein powder is great for PWO and can be a meal in a pinch. But prob not best to always use it as a meal.

THAT SAID, I am a hypocrit. I have a protein powder smoothie for breakfast every morning. I love it and it fits my schedule best. With 2 kids, one being 11 months, and working full time I just don't have time in the morning to prep eggs, etc. A smoothie jut works for me there.

So really, try to eat whole real foods for meals as much as possible. That really IS best But if a shake fits as a meal for you and it WORKS for you, don't stress.
 
Morning all.

Thanks for the pointers. I don't know how you do it Daisy! You must be so motivated to fit being a mum in with an active lifestyle.

It's climbing night tonight, and with that a bit of a challenge... We head straight into town after work and tend to eat in a noodle and sushi bar. I was thinking sushi with no dressing may be a good choice? Some sort of meat/fish and rice combo?
It's a bit difficult to plan today, as I'm also eating lunch at work - poor planning for today! Here is a rough skeleton,

B1 - protein shake
B2 - fat free Greek yoghurt
L - lean beef and salad
S. macadamias
D. Something from the noodle place! Edit - I'm thinking maybe salmon ramen and chicken yakitori?
Workout - climbing for 2hrs

If you could get them to go light on the sauce chicken yakitori is a so so option.

Best option would be sashimi and edamame. The sticky rice they use at sushi places has sugar in it that's how it's made sticky so no rice unless they had plain brown rice.
 
I went for chicken, with the sauce on the side!
I find out if I'll be doing the NYC marathon soon. I entered it a while back, nice excuse for a trip to America as I've never been.

Today! Just the outline to begin with,
B1 - protein shake
B2 - eggs and tomato
L - plaice, carrots and green beans
D - chicken breasts , veg, small bit of houmus
S - I just wasn't hungry today! Very busy at work.
Workout - NROL day 2 workout B, 10mins of HIIT

Todays macros - Protein 41%, carbs 18%, fat 40%

This has been my typical values the last few days, sometimes slightly higher in carbs (30% max) and lower in fat (34%min).

Planning ahead for tomorrow,

B1 - protein shake
B2 - scrambled eggs and tomato
L - chicken curry (homemade)
D - *my weekly treat meal* eating out, and I'm thinking it'll be venison, followed by a creme brulee and some red wine :)

No workout tomorrow.

If you end up doing the NYC marathon, your macros may change quite a bit. Your carbs will need to go up. Food choices can still be clean though.
