B. Become a fit wom-an people notice as:
(1) fit, muscular, and powerful
(2) like I could take them :mix:



Log Saturday 2/4/05
8:20 One cup Raisin Bran, skim milk
8:50-9:30 swim practice (late and left early)
10:00 3 unsalted pretzels, one serving sun chips
12-4 Family birthday party- sunchips, fruit, few veggies, one square of lasagna, sandwich on enriched bread- (turkey, roast beef, tomatoe) a few small gillettes, piece of vanilla cake

5:30 Home- tredmill for exactly 2 miles, half of which was really slow warm up and cool down

7:30 Cereal

out to movie...

9:30-Perkin's chicken salad. It was like, breaded chicken tho!? Was kind of upset about that.

later that night I realized I didnt have too much protein this day did I? Should have ordered fish at Perkin's. Although I don't really regret the cake. It was yummy and the sugar got me through the long boring hours.


Sunday 2/5
Do you weigh more during your period?

weight: 139
9:45 Honey bunches of oats cereal (the sugaryish type...not sure why I choose this)
skim milk

1:25: nothing since.....skinless chicken in the oven

Purposely not working out, but I will do meditation

4:30 PM

2 pieces whole wheat bread, each with Promise spread and one with raisins
1/2 can blackeyed peas
potatoe salad
1.5 cups skim milk
water


It'd only been two hours since I last ate, but that's acceptible, right?
 
Sunday 2/5
Do you weigh more during your period?

Yes, generally you will hold on to more water and bloat right before/during your period. I generally will add on 3-5 pounds the week or so (up to the day of) the start of mine.

Also, definitely try the salmon at Perkins next time you go. It is excellent!! :p

Good luck with your goals!

One suggestion I would add, although I've been VERY guilty of this the last several days. Try to get rid of as much processed food as you can (i.e. raisin bran, pretzels, sunchips, etc)... You can try replacing the raisin bran with oatmeal, chips with nuts, etc...
 
Update

I'm strong, but I can be so weak.

6:30 PM Like.... 3 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
and 2 pretzels
and 4-5 servings of Sunchips <ouch!

Even though this is terrible, I consider today progress.
I learned how to cook some things and I feel that is important
Right now I'm trying to tred/maintain my weight.
I need to stop these bad habits like binge eating sunchips
Which isn't a typical bad habit of mine
Usually it's peanut butter
Which I guess I did have a lot of

This post is embarrassing, but if I don't track everything I eat, then their is no point to a log.

Thanks for your support
I sure need it.
Goodnight.

PS. I set aside money for my own bathroom scale (currently my family only has this really old digital one that only shows your weight). I'm going tomorrow night to GNC to pick up the Tanita Scale plus Body Fat Monitor with Body Water. Excitement!!!! :)
 
PS. I figure 6:30 binge cost maximum 1,100 calories (I ALWAYS overestimate what I eat and ALWAYS underestimate how much I exercised, to be on the safe side) That's a lot for 6:30, and I realize it will probobly all go to fat. Shucks. The week (and my life)moves on......
 
So, I read in Body-For-Life-For-Woman that even whole grain bread should be eaten only in moderation. That really sucks.

I'm being random tonight. But i'm really going to bed now. at 9:10. Good for me.
At least I can do something good for my body today.
 
Bread in general is a crappy form of complex carb. Better choices are baked potato, sweet potato, brown rice, oatmeal. It takes a bit of a switch in your tastes to get to the optimal diet. I guess I can't even speak to what "normal" people eat anymore. For example, when my best friend from my home town & her husband and son were flying back to Baton Rouge from a trip, they had a layover in Atlanta that ended up being an overnight situation. So they called me up at 7 pm, I picked them up by 8 pm and brought them back to my house. So for breakfast, I'm looking in my fridge for stuff for them to eat -- I'm almost out of eggs, the only other choices I have are spinach & romain lettuce, scallions, grilled chicken, a can of green beans, oatmeal and a couple sweet potatos. Yea. We went to IHOP. Basically I can accommodate adults for say a dinner of grilled steak & salad w/ wine or grilled chicken or fish and a salad. Otherwise, forget it. There's nothing exciting in my house. At all. But that's how I eat and its reliable. When I go out to eat, I still end up eating somethign that consists of chicken, fish or steak, grilled w/ minimal season (no salt), no sauce, steamed veggies (no butter, sauce or salt) or a green salad w/ vinegar & oil, possibly a plain baked potato. This is it. Always. I haven't had pizza in literally years. The only time I do eat it is when I"m visiting family and that's what is on the table. If I'm traveling for myself or for work, I will always get a hotel room w/ a microwave & mini fridge, take my per diem and hit the nearest grocery store & stock up on pouch tuna, pre-made salad, pre-cooked chicken and oatmeal, and bring protein mix. If I have to make the oatmeal in the coffee maker, I will. How exciting is that? It ain't, but its on my diet :)

If you are reading the body for life book, it does give a really good list of choices that are not totally boring but help you set the boundaries of what becomes a good diet. I didn't actually learn how to cook anything until I was literally 30. I had never actually cooked a sweet potato until i was 35. And I also don't really do anything besides broil and grill on my gas grill. That was probably a big limitation on my ability to do a good diet.

My only comment: you may want to pick up the Body for Life book, rather than Body for Life for Women. I have read them both - BFL I find much more action oriented, not as 'fluffy' in the writing and has more detailed information.

Good luck!

I think Ezeikal bread (made by food for life) which is flourless is also an exception. It uses all sprouted grains.

Any idea what the GI is for that product? I'm Type II diabetic so I'm always looking for great GI's to add more variety to my diet. :)

You would be better off just getting a new digital scale. Don't waste the extra money on the bf monitor and all that. It's not accurate anyway. If you want to know your bodyfat, get some callipers or go to a gym and have them do the callipers for you.

 
:wavey: Just wanted to say 'ello and good luck RR :)

Navy Seal eh? What kinda test is this? Very curious ? RR = GI Jane :D

By logging, SEEING what you're eating helps tremendously, tracking with fitday (or similar) does it even better ... I haven't been around here THAT long but I was once one of those women who "eat clean" and workout ... and when I posted my diet or cardio cardio cardio (no real weight training), I got the reality check I needed :)

Not saying you need one at all :) But congrats on the first step to conquer those binges and achieve your goals. You have come to the RIGHT place.
:rose:

That's hillarious... This was the one thing I picked out of the post myself. I wasn't even looking at the food I saw the scale and was like *warning*

I did a google search for you and the GI is 38 - it's a type of bread highly recommended for diabetics so it should hopefully work for you.

Ingredients:
Organic Sprouted Wheat, Filtered Water, Malted Barley, Organic Sprouted Rye, Organic Sprouted Barley, Organic Sprouted Oats, Organic Sprouted Millet, Organic Sprouted Corn, Organic Sprouted Brown Rice, Fresh Yeast, Lecithin (from soybean), Sea Salt. Certified Organic by QAI.

Per slice= 80 Cals, 15g carbs, 4g protein, 0.5g fat & 3g fiber
 
2 hour delays work wonders on my state of mind
I freaking <333 them

6:45-7:00 High pace yoga stretching on tv
7:00-8:00 Denise Austin show... bits and pieces of it. Not too much of a work out but it gets my blood flowing

8:10 -small piece of egg beaters, rolled oats cooked in water w/ cinnamon and raisins (I put wayyy too much cinnamon on-yuck. but i was in a good mood, and ate most of it)

10:30 -few carrots, celery sticks w/ 2 or less tablespoons NPB

1:00 -veggie salad (with chedder cheese and ranch dressing...preety sure my school's ranch is low-fat but not fat-free)
1 orange
skim milk

3:30-4:30 Swim practice

7:00- Weight on new scale: 138.2

7:20 ((how do you go 6 hours w/o eating? Is that even right?))
-leftover brown rice, skinless chicken, and green pepper from Sunday's
lunch
-2 pieces of breaded chicken and about 8 fries in salad w/ lo-fat ranch

7:45 -50 calorie fruit cocktail

Done eating for the day. I'd say I did preety well today! After the cinnamony rolled oats I had the temptation to eat the leftover chicken and another serving of the leftover rice, but instead I got it ready on a plate for part of tonight's dinner. Yay! I could have also had that peanut butter right in the morning as I was preparing it for the snack, but I didn't cause the rolled oats did fill me up, so I thought, why should I? :-)


The Navy Seals test is a fitness test that people at my school try just for the heck of it. A bunch of guys from my school have passed it the past few years and got their names written on a plaque in our gym. I'd be the first female! I need to work on my pull-ups, right now I can only do one or less.


That bread sounds yummy, lol. :p I think they sell it in my Kroger's organic department. Gonna check that out.
 
Whenever you can, try to go with the light (low-fat) ranch as opposed to the fat free. You need some fat in your diet. Believe me when I say the low/fat-free diet just doesn't work. I've tried it.

That, plus the fat-free products tend to have a high amount of carbs.
 
Morning Weight: 137.0

Breakfast: Quaker Instant strawberry oatmeal Half The Sugar-still not a great choice-cooked in water, bit of milk

Snack: One piece of toast w/ NPB (Bread= Private Selection Whole Grain Fiber Plus)

Lunch: Chicken Salad, skim milk, tiny school vegetable soup, few grapes, red apple

Workout: One hour of swim practice

Small meal at work: turkey sandwich on 2 pieces of same bread as above, lettuce, tomatoe, honey mustard, milk (for now on, milk equals one cup of skim, unless otherwise noted), clementine

work= 3/4th liter water

dinner- Healthy Choice 280 Cal TV dinner in Country Herb Chicken, milk

My trademark "things I passed up today":
*Papa john pizza sale @ lunch
*cake and candy, chips, all that junk for teammate's birthday. I don't need any of that crap period, and I especially don't feel like eating it right after I swim!
*more food (i would have reached for Rold Gold Honey twist pretzels) after the healthy choice dinner filled me up- I used to eat after dinner for no apparent reason.

Good job on passing up on all of that as tempting as it may have been!! I lurve Papa Johns :p

Good to see you're finding little "habbits" that you can eliminate to reach your goal! Good job, girl!!! :)
 
Papa John's is definitely the best! :chomp: I've put away a whole pizza by myself in one sitting before. Course, that could explain why I ballooned up to near 200 pounds at one point... :worried:
 
Thanks for the support guys!

I was reading about whey protein because i'm trying to look for the best types to buy next...

And I noticed that you should drink it 15 minutes before bed, so I just had some.

but it made me hungry so i also had 2 unsalted pretzels and 4 honey twist pretzels. It was almost second nature to eat those pretzels, so by the time I realized pretzels ARE NOT particular good for you, I already had the first one in my hand and was excited about it.


bedtime~~goodnight!

After getting use to the ANPB, and you have the regular, you can taste the sugar/sweetness to it, and IMO it's kinda gross. But I can easily pound down some spoonfuls when I ate all the ANPB & I'm having a food fit & all that's left is the regular Skippy :chomp: :)

Still haven't DARED buy a jar and try to test the will power. :)

When you DO start eating clean, you tend to lose the taste for the junk, it gets easier.

yeah it is kind of nasty. I don't want to get used to it again, so i'm not eating it again.

I agree about losing the taste for junk. I've noticed that with so far: ice cream and pop. I gave up pop a LOOONG time ago, because it always made my stomach hurt or feel funny, so ever since I was like 12 I only drink it maybe 3 times a year. With ice cream, i've just stopped eating it within the past few months and I don't crave it nearly as often as I did before. In fact, I can't remember the last time I ate ice cream.

I eat too much peanut butter, but I don't want to just give it up lol. Eating it makes it harder to resist.

:worried:
 
Hey y'all

I haven't been posting lately, but i'm getting back to it.

SWIMMING ENDED YESTERDAY!! I'm so excited to start lifting every day at the gym. I think i'll concentrate on one body part per day..does this sound good? Or could I do two body parts/dayly? A friend of mine said that too many body parts worked at once will take up too much protein?
I dunno.

Scale weight: 135.8

8:00- very light tredmill work out (8 minutes including 5 minute warm up)
9:00- 2 7-inch homemade pancakes with blueberries and chocolate whey. ~500 cal?, milk

I dunno.

I dunno either about taking up too much protein. That's the first I've heard that!

It just depends on what your goals are. A lot of the women here do either or. I personally prefer to do one bodypart a day because my body responds to that. Two body parts keeps me in the gym longer and I can't focus as intently.

The upside is, working two a day would only put you in the gym ~3x per week, whereas I'm in there 5 times. Just really depends on your preference. Enjoy the lifting RR! And keep logging... :velvett:
 
11:30~ Sandwich with whole grain double-the-fiber bread, chicken, lettuce, tomatoe; milk; apple; honey twists cal: 100 cal apple, 110 pretzels, 210 bread, 100 milk, 100 extra .. 610?

~~Took the new 4-hour long SAT test at Sat class.....sucks!!~~

5:30- chilli with rice, milk, green beans cooked plain (my parents add butter and salt after mine is cooked :-)...tastes the same to me) ~ 500 cal

6:10 to 7:30- 2 pieces Domino's pizza (500 cal or less), tootie rools (150 cal), 2 chicken wings w/o skin, 1 w/ skin, smmallll bit of cake, macarona salad (250 cal), water~~~~~ 1100 cal



Added to the morning calories one would say I ate about 2800 calories today. True, or am i overestimating these amounts?
 
MONDAY

Wow.. I LOVE not having swim practice after school! Working out at the gym is simply more fun, and I feel like i'm getting a better workout. I have a new work-out schedule almost together, it's like this...

Sunday: off
Monday: Legs heavy with cardio
Tuesday: Arms Heavy
Wednesday: Cardio and abs
Thursday: off
Friday: Cardio, pylometrics (push-ups, sit-ups, pull ups)--needed for Navy Seals test
Saturday: Cardio plus not sure what to do.....full body lifting? Would that be dumb because each body part should only be worked once a week? Perhaps I should just lift my arms, because they are much weaker than my legs, and my legs will get worked through cardio.... Yeah, that one sounds much better.

Just incase you're wondering, i'm time-restricted on Thursdays and Sundays for about the next month, so these off days work perfectly for my schedule.

Breakfast: Weight control cinnamon oatmeal made with water, sandwich of 1 piece whole grain high-fiber, egg beaters, few tiny slices of carrots, green peppers, water

Lunch: two long eggrolls, teaspoon sweet/sour sauce, apple, milk, raw veggies with ranch, homestyle (the thicker, seemingly less greasy) french fries, ketchup

3 hours later: milk with chocolate whey protein

Gym: Leg day! In chronological order..... leg machines, walking lunges (30 w/ 15 lb weights), Squats, incline leg presses; 25 minutes bicycle-type machine... 70 mph, resistance ranging from 4.5 to 5.5 out of 20 (that thang is hard!)

Dinner: salmon, raw veggies, milk, red potatoes with parsely (and olive oil).....

Smart choices I made today: Assisted mom cooking to make sure my red potatoes were not cooked in butter... ; I didn't have corn that was already cooked in butter (corn isnt that good for you anyway it seems....only thing it has good is like 2 measely grams of fiber) ; my workout was awesome! Butt hurt lol

When I choose the less healthy option: At lunch, I could have gotten a chicken salad or vegetable salad. This would have been more healthy, and I had planned on getting a salad. I didn't because when I smelled the eggrolls they smelled so good!
 
<3 TUESDAY <3

I messed up, so I had to really watch my dinner tonight :-/

breakfast- cereal with milk, one pancake with whey and blueberries, water
250 + 100 + 180 = 530 cal

snack- carrots, celery, chocolate cherry cake in class, beef jerky and one pretzel
50 + 400 + 100 = 550

lunch- chicken salad, wedding soup, milk, pear, grapes, medium-large cookie with icing
150 + 80 + 90 + 200 pear/grapes + 200

creme savor, 4 pieces of gum 40 cal

Up until dinner about 2000 calories! HOly *$#0!

WORK OUT: "arms", but i was having such an off day, nothing I did felt right. I don't feel the burn. Well, I did get some good stuff in, but not much. Didn't work every arm muscle. Hm.

Dinner 7:10 (a long time since lunch...crap.) Milk, piece of tilapia, fresh mushrooms, little bit of left over chinese vegetables/shrimp

dinner: 130 + 100 + 200 = 430

2,430 calories. Maybe more, probobly less.

I really am trying!

I know my carbs were mostly sugar, but I don't think i exceeded my calories too much today. (loosing weight is definetely in my plans I don't mind to just cut even with what I eat and what I burn for most days) I couldn't eat my parens dinner tonight, it was hamburgers. I was too worried about the cake and stuff I ate lol.

Today's eating was definetely messed up, I was starving at the gym, but I chalk it up to V-day. Tomorrow is another day.
 
PS. Is it just me.....or is it that when you indulge in something, its easier to restrict your diet for the entire rest of the day? Its like I have to mess up in order to ensure myself that I WONT make a bad choice for sure later on. It's really weird. What sucks is that when I have a perfect diet all day, that conscience does not speak to me the same way, and half the time I end up endulging in something later, even if I was not tempted by anything all day.
 
Honey it sounds like you are already setting yourself up for failure ... all you gotta do is get past 2-3 days, then 5-6, then day 7, endulge ... make it your reward for being good, something to look forward to ya know?

I actually understand & can see why it's so difficult ... think positive, prove to yourself you can get through a day of eating clean.
 
Morning -> Tredmill 15 minutes

Breakfast-> Weight Control oatmeal (160 cal) cooked in mostly water; little milk and few grapes (40 cal) = 200 cal

Snack-> Piece of whole weat bread- 90 cal; honey mustard (negligible); turkey breast (half of a chicken breast..anyone know the calories in this?..guessing 150), part of clementine (30)
=270 cal

Lunch-> Chicken salad (200 cal), milk (80 cal), orange (80), cracker (15), bit of spoonful of chocolate pudding (40) = 415

Snack--> Cereal/milk, 3 tab. peanut butter (200 plus 300) = 500

Equals 1,300.... Accuracy: plus or minus 200, maybe.

5:00 Hitting the treadmill.
 
I'm starting to use fit day. I'll be back with my own, new log once I get things more in control!

It will take a while for me to plug in all the labels I need and to get used to the system.

Thanks for your help!

What are you not working back, shoulders and chest? Instead of doing a full body day of pliometrics why not add a ply movement to corsponding muscle group days.

IE on back day I do chins and pull ups
On chest I do push ups
etc.
