LG's *first* Journal

[localgirl]

I can't really see how a carb/ fat blocker would work too well, but Ive read a lot of reviews saying that the bsn one works phenomenally ( cheater's relief). I ordered some, just to give it a whirl on cheat days-
I am going to maintain my macro's @ what you recmommended, but just so that I dont go absoulutely crazy, Im allowing a 4 hour window a week to cheat- mostly on just pasta or some starbucks. Nothing over board.
I'll keep the board posted.

Effies do work really well, but like any other thermo. if you take em for too long, they will lose there effectivness, like you said.

So.. I have been sticking to those macro's & my weight shot up again...
I am at a total loss here. I am doing everything right.. besides the am cardio..
even with diet alone, I should be losing 1.51 lbs a week with my 755 cal. deficient. and I am below that with my macro's at what they are at..

Hi, LG!
You mentioned last weekend you didn't do so well. I suspect that's the reason your weight went up. Remember, you were losing 1.5lbs per week. My guess is that the calories you had on the weekend added to the gain. Unfortunatly, when we want to be lean and fit, every little thing makes a difference. I'm not saying that's how you have to leave your life, but untill you get to where you want to be, you're better off being tight on your diet for a while.
Does that make sense?
However, if you're consistent for three weeks, you'll be fine. Just go back on the horse..

I know! I shouldnt have fallen off the horse to begin with!! lol

Im down with living a clean lifestyle- it does take a lot of dedication.
Im going to allow that 4 hour window of cheating, but not until Ive stayed on the horse straight for 3 weeks.

I keep ya updated!! Thanks again Than, for all the support

Things are going great.
I switched up my diet- eating every 3 hours. Finally got my macro's right on the money- the protien is a bit higher( 120-150) but I feel good with this.

Meal 1- 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1 cup berries
Meal 2- Protien shake ( 20 grams)
Meal 3- Chicken Salad w/ 2 tbsp's dressing
Meal 4- Tuna & Veg.
Meal 5- 3 Egg Whites & Veg
Meal 6- 1 cup cottage cheese & 3 strawberries

Also I have a pwo shake.

I has a cheat meal this weekend ( homemade nachos! yum!!) and took BSN's cheaters relief with it- that sh*t def. works.. I wouldnt use it as a crutch, but here & there for sure.

My weight is still @ 135lbs. Havent measured bf % in a while.
Jacking the cardio to 30 min. ED this week. Maybe that will help.

It def. does take a while to get back into the swing of things, to get a diet tweaked to get the right macro's.

Going for my BA consult this month too- super excited about that.
New goal- Bf% down to 16% before BA ( gunna schedule in Feb.).

What ya'll think? Do able?

Ill measure mine tonight & you measure yours! We'll exchange the good/ or bad news tomorrow!

I dont like posting pic's up on boards, but I was thinking it would be cool to take a before pic now & take one weekly.. Suppose to help w/ the motivation hey?>!
