LAdies a little help

[flexygrl]

Hi,

First off, let me say that I know that I should not be looking for a quick fix but:

July 11th I'm going away. I would really love to drop 15 more pounds by then. Can someone help me with a diet and workout routine? Thanks in advance!

That's 8 weeks...totally doable. IF YOU STICK TO A DIET.

When do you train and what do you do?

Hi Spatts,

I feel so important talking to you!! Thanks so much for replying.

Okay here goes:

I usually work out with my hubby. For Example

Mon:
Bi's, tri's 3 sets per 3 excercises for each
Cardio:3o min
Tues:
Back
Maybe cardio
Weds:
Chest
Maybe Cardio
Thursday:
Shoulders
Cardio
Friday:
Big leg workout
Cardio
2 rest days

It always looks something like that. I have been feeling really discouraged and tired lately and have been slacking on the cardio. Anything you could recommend would be great!

Thanks again!

I'm kind of in the same boat , want to lose 12 more by July8th. Spatts will hook you up with good info. The only thing I have to add is set small goals, like weekly... this has helped me more than anything. Good luck to you!

OK, what are you eating and where does that fall into your training...what are your pre and post workout meals?

Absolutely. I've said it many times: Your diet is 75% of your success. (Training 15%, and rest the other 10%) Training alone will not get the job done. As long as your diet is clean, and you are consistent, you WILL GET there.

Your training looks ok, just be careful not to overtrain with the "maybes" of 5 days of cardio.

Hi Guys,

The problem is definetly my diet. Today for instance:

Breakfast: 8:45
1TB PB
2 slices of lite whole wheat toast
small amount of I can't believe it's not butter-spread
3Egg whites

Lunch: 11:45
Salad
Dressing(whole fat blue cheese, about 2 tb on the side)
Sunflower seeds
Cheddar cheese-very little
Hummus, about 1 big tablespoon

Around 3:00
1 4oz chicken breast

Around 6:00-I guess this would be considered pre-workout
Chicken breast-4 oz
3 oz yam


Workout, around 8-8:30 ish.

Then bed.

Am I eating too much?

not to discourage you-- but if you lose more than a lb/wk-- your gonna lose alot of muscle w/that weight. Whats your bodyfat??? Id focus on reducing that more than than pounds.

I routinely lose 2-3 pounds per week, and it's not muscle. When you drop carbs and lose fat you lose fat AND water. And alot of it. Especially at first.

I recently went from 192-175 in 6 weeks (no anabolics or thermos). That's about 2.8 pounds per week with no muscle or strength loss.

Flxy, I would say drop the carbs down. I like to carb rotate. That means that on the days I train I eat more carbs than on the days I don't. It looks a little like this:

You would have to alter the times by when you train, and cycle the carbs 3 days low (.5g/kg body weight) and 2 days high (2.0g/kg body weight), or high on training days and low on non training days. The diet in the link represents the 100g CHO median.

1Kg = 2.2046 lbs


*THE CALORIES ARE BASED ON MY BMR. YOU WOULD NEED TO ADJUST THAT FOR YOURSELF*
