HEY - I have missed the you guys too!! I haven't been very good at keeping up with everyone's journal like I would like to.

I can see a little bit of change, very SLOWLY. I am starting to see more veins and I am feeling a little leaner in my legs and back. We shall see after a few more weeks!! Still trying to nail the cycle down :qt:

Thanks for checkin in on me!! :heart:

Things are working out very well with the carb cycling! I changed my fat burner and have had a ton of success with it. I am finally not starving all the time :dance2: It is still challenging to maintain a diet out here given my options, but I can say that it is working very well given my situation!! ;) Thanks so much for asking Treil. As far as the low cals...that was an exception...they were out of eggs at breakfast and then out of chicken, turkey and tuna at dinner and that through my cals and ALL OFF!! :worried:

Morning Girl - you best have those positives thoughts swimming through your head already this morning!! :kiss:
 
Wow, your sprint cycles are impressive!! 11mph for 1 min intervals...phew! ;)

I had a question for you about your carb cycling. Do you notice any bloating/water retention when you oscillate between your low or high carb days? I want to give carb cycling a shot, but I remember the last time I tried it, I had a real problem with my body getting so confused that it just held on to a lot of water and I felt so bloated.
 
Ahhh shi* better watch out body fat... b/c 9% is righttt around the corner :)
 
Hey girl just wanted to say hi :wavey:

You must be swamped at work again, that stinks.
 
OMG 11 mph wind sprints........If someone tried to mug IP she could chase them down, kick their a$$ and leave before anyone got a good look at her. :FRlol:
 
Hey girl!!! Just checking in. The new job is grueling - craaaazy. Not much time to stop in and check up on everyone/read logs. Hope you have a fab friday!! And a great weekend!

So, I had a FAT moment last night. I got really down about a lot of things. The biggest thing was that I am so frustrated, being out here and not being allowed to have the perfect fat loss diet or the perfect "two a day" workouts! I shared my frustration with my wonderful husband, which helped a little, butI am still having some issues with not being happy with the progress I HAVE made...I will get through it though and come out a better person on the other side. ;) :heart: ;)

Exactly! You are in unusual circumstances and have made heaps of progress regardless. Try to look at what you have achieved rather than what you haven't. And in less than 3 weeks you can get cracking on those areas that you feel are lacking (not like there's much, you know, really - but I understand how you feel).

Plus I am proud of you for sharing this in your journal :heart:

All will be good, you know that :rose:
 
IP don't get down about not being in the ideal situation. Just look at how much you have done out here and then once you get home it will be a breeze for you to reach whatever goals you have for yourself. It is not easy to stick with a strict diet and workout schedule out here (as you already know). You have already made such awesome progress and you are an inspiration for me to get my butt in gear.

Thanks so much mermaid for the words of encouragement. You are absolutely right, I need to be content with what I HAVE achieved out here and HOPEFULLY in a couple of weeks I can fine tune the rest (though traveling so much will be rough as well)!! Thank you so much for doppin in on my mermaid and giving me a reality check. I just have been a little down lately for some reason. Thanks so much for being such a wonderful friend!! :heart: :heart:

I think people will get frustrated no matter where they are. Each situation has it's own set of circumstances and constraints. When I've been deployed it has been much easier to get in a consistent double set of workouts. All I'd do is work, eat, sleep and exercise. That being said, there would be disruptions to the cycle. I just take that as a mini-rest period for the body and mind.

Situation is different when stateside. Wife, kids, house, dog, 2... no, now *3* cats, kids sports, lawn, job, flying, trips for a week or two at a time, etc. Seems like there are more things that are competing for the time. It's not always possible to get up at o-dark-thirty to get a run or lift in before everybody is up and about. Getting that lunch time workout doesn't always fit the work schedule.

BTW, I'd still rather be home that over in the sand box :)

So... for my two cents... things tend to balance out a bit. It might be easier to diet in CONUS, but that would be replaced by something else that is harder due to being stateside. :D
 
jnuts, good to see you drop in! :)

The good thing is that we are 99+% that we will be helping to run a fitness facility and have been promised that we can train clients as often as we would like. So...2-a-days can actually be built into our work schedule. :) :arty: :garza:

Words can't begin to describe how excited we are about our next phase in life. :google: Lord willing...
 
IP your doing AWESOME! I know things can get frustrated at times, because of time, especially in nelms and yours situation. But remember
YOU ROCK GIRL!
and your hot!

Keep that chin up, and the calories a wee little more, hee hee, but yesterday looked good.
 
Much going on in here. I don't even think I can add on to anything anyone else has said. This is why you have to love EF...so much support from people we've never even met. :heart:

I hope you're feeling great today, IP! :rose:
 
Definately keep your head up hun you are doing GREAT thats for sure especially with the limited time and food selection that you have at reach :)

So, I had a FAT moment last night. I got really down about a lot of things. The biggest thing was that I am so frustrated, being out here and not being allowed to have the perfect fat loss diet or the perfect "two a day" workouts! I shared my frustration with my wonderful husband, which helped a little, butI am still having some issues with not being happy with the progress I HAVE made...I will get through it though and come out a better person on the other side. ;) :heart: ;)

Well, with what you have to work with, you're doing the best you possibly can! You'll be home before you know it and then you'll have ALL the resources you need to feel fulfilled in what you're trying to accomplish. You're doing great, IP! Keep your chin up, Sweetie! :heart:
