Necia Back In Effect Log

Monday Aug 1st

Good morning. Start of a new month, and I plan to get my hustle and bustle on. Let's see how far I can take this.

Supps

2 Lipo-6

Meal 1:
3 egg whites, 1 whole egg yolk. whole wheat toast (2 slices) no butter
Hazelnut coffee, splash of skim, 1 sweet n low packet

12:30 pm - 1:15 pm (workout)
Lat Pull Down machine - 3 sets 12 reps 15lbs, 27.5 lbs, 35.5 lbs (did this standing as the send is unadjustable, and my gym is too cheap to buy a new machine). I only used this machine because I feel I never get to work my lats with anything else I have at home.

Dead Lifts alternated with Squats (should've done the other way around but was winging it) 3 sets reps of 12, 12, 10
Weight: 30 lbs, 40 lbs, 50 lbs

HIIT on Elliptical
Level 5 Weight Loss Program 10 minute warm up
Level 8 - 30 secs alternated with Level 5 - 1 minute (10 cycles)
Level 5 (6 minute cool down)

Ab Work with 10 lb plate - various crunches, for a total of 5 minutes

Meal 2:
1:15pm - 8 oz water, 1.5 scoops of ON Vanilla Ice Cream

1:45pm - 2 Lipo-6

Meal 3:
2:15pm - Baby Green Mixed Salad, with a lil red onions, cucumbers, 1 boiled egg, dark turkey meat, and about 3T Ranch Dressing

Meal 4:
1 oz almonds

Meal 5: 10:30 pm
As you can see dinner is running way late. So late I didn't even cook it yet. Decided to get a head start and make my protein pancake tonight, for tomorrow, and just doubled recipe and had 1 for dinner.

3 egg whites
1 whole egg
1/2 cup 1% pineapple cottage cheese
1/2 cup of oats

Meal 6: 1:30 am (had no business being up, but was, and was hungry)
10 oz water
1.5 scoop of MHP Protein Powder

Totals:
Calories: 1671
Fat: 41% (wtf), Carbs 21%, Protein 42%

Definitly gonna work on that fat consumption. I prolly will have to switch back to the NF cottage cheese, cause I sure don't intend on working out all hard, to be intaking all this fat. That defeats the purpose.

Tuesday August 2nd

Supps - 2 Lipo-6

Meal 1: (8:30 am)
3 egg whites
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup Pineapple 1% Cottage Cheese (note to self: enter into Fitday)
1/2 cup Oats

Supps - 2 Lipo-6

Workout - 12:30 - 1:05 pm (not including 10 minute walk to gym)
New instructor. She kicked our asses. Cardio Kickboxing. Worked Shoulders, delts, Biceps, Triceps, and so many squat variations with and without body bar. I'm thoroughly whupped. I realize I really don't like weight lifting mixed with cardio. There is a lack of concentration, and I feel funny moving so damn fast to club music, trying to keep count. That's prolly why when I lift at home, I lift so damn fast. Any suggestions? Let me guess, TUT right?

10 minute walk back to work from gym.

Meal 2: 1:15 pm
8 oz water
1.5 scoops of ON Vanilla Ice Cream

Ok Starving like no other. Gotta go get some food.

Meal 3: 2:30 pm
Medium Orange
Baby Green Salad, with little onions, cukes, boiled egg, dark turkey meat, light cesar dressing

Just looking over your meals ... is the cause of Fat %'s increase due to the choice of Cottage Cheese? I don't eat the stuff so I honestly don't know ...

Ever think about cutting back on the Ranch Dressing? or using a different type? I can finally stomach a Fat Free Balsamic which is lower in cals & Sodium than all the others I've seen out there... even 5 cals for 2 TBSP on the last one I picked up, 160 mg Sodium... sorry for the ramble

Your energy & attitude seem happy, healthy and positive ... keep it up Necia !

Actually Bunny, it could very well be the salad dressing. I get my salads from the store, and lately I've been getting the salad plain and adding my own dressing, which is Newman's Own's Light. However, I'm all out, and I refuse to eat dry salad lol, so I opted with the ranch as I've done previously. On Fitday, I just chose the highest calorie ranch that they had there, being I don't know the true nutrient content and values. This shit pisses me off, so I"m going to the market tonight to buy my Newman's Own Light, because I can't stand not having control. I mean if you could see how hard I worked yesterday. I plugged my foods into Fitday as a second thought, never imagineing it would spit #'s back to me like that.

1) Add any salad dressing you buy to fiday as a custom food so you don't have to use their figures which aren't always correct.

2) If you're "stuck" using a full-fat ranch -- get it in a cup on the side & add some water to it to thin it down -- you won't be using as much "actual" dressing & it'll still taste the same.....or thin it with some Apple Cider Vinegar. I do that with my Newman's Own Sesame Ginger Dressing -- I pour 1/2 the bottle out into another container & fill each up with Apple Cider Vinegar (which isn't as tangy as regular vinegar IMO).
