From what your typing it appears it's not working for you.. Why in the f**k do u ask for advice if your going to fight it every time..

Seriously

I've been doing this for a long time as well. I know my body, I know what works for me, and I will continue doing what I've found works best.

I'm doing what HAS (if you read a few posts back) worked for me, how many times do I have to explain that? But for some reason this Shadow guy feels the need to insist that I'm not doing what I "should" be...I don't see how I'm really doing ANYTHING different than most people (other than a little more cardio). Not everyone's body works EXACTLY the same.

January 12:

8am: 5 egg whites, spinach (omelet), 1/2 cup oatmeal

10am: 1 oz almonds

11:15: 4 oz grilled chicken, handfull red grapes, sugar free Jell-O pudding

Back from vacation...ate clean about 75% of the time, didn't write anything down, and pretty much ate what I wanted since I was so active the whole time...I spent several hours a day skiing Friday-Tuesday (some downhill, some cross country), little bit of snowshoeing and a couple hours of skating throughout. So plenty of exercise Back to work today...

1pm: 6 oz grilled chix, 1/2 cup brown rice, broccoli

9-10:45pm: floor practice for synchronized skating team

11pm: protein shake w/1 tbsp pb

1 gallon water (about 32 oz of that was hot tea)

I have a fucking killer headache...haven't had any caffiene today (tea was caff free). I'm not trying to cut it out, just didn't feel like drinking pop at all today (don't have any here at the moment anyhow) and now I'm paying the price

 

[FigureSkater]

Have to put cutting on hold until March...I'm on my university's synchronized skating team, and since this year we have a much larger budget to work with, our competition season schedule is far more intense. We practice 2-3 hrs/night Sunday-Thursday, are out of town competing most weekends starting this weekend, and weekends we are in town we either have exhibitions and/or additional ice on Friday and Saturday. On top of that are my individual skating practices a few hours a week.

So I'm pretty much eating clean, but a lot more calories (around 2000) to keep my strength/energy up. I've cut out all cardio other than skating and walking to/from campus when it's not too cold. The 10 pounds I wanted to lose will probably go away anyway given our schedule.

I'm still lifting upper body twice a week. My biggest question is WHEN the heck am I supposed to lift legs, IF at all??? Skating is such a lower body sport (and it builds muscle--look at figure skaters' thighs and glutes!), and my legs are just constantly exhausted. I also can't afford to have them sore for practice.

This is my schedule on a "normal" day: work 8:30am-3:45, class 4-7pm, skating anywhere from 8pm-midnight....really leaves no time to lift. (Early AM is out of the question, the gym doesn't open until 7:30 and I NEED my sleep.)
