Staying Consistent... feedback welcome!

[pateince123]

Hey girl! Welcome to Loggers Anonymous

Consistency is partly "will power" or just staying focused on your goal - at least for the first 2-3 weeks - it takes about that long to establish the habit of the particular eating schedule. Also I think many of the girls have found that keeping a journal helps both put the attention on the schedule & content of eating as opposed to the desire to eat itself. And of course, the amazing feedback & support you'll get as you go!

Watch your fat intake - even though they're good fats. Also, if you bloat easily, I would give up the soy sauce. It's LOADED with sodium. You're gettin' lots of veggies....that's a good thing (just make sure they're low GI). Looks like you're getting some good protein too. Get your calories & protein up.

If you're doing HIIT cardio, you don't need to do 30-40 minutes, so the amount of time you did was fine. Work your way up to 8 cycles - you're almost there already!

For bloating you can also introduce a decent fiber drink at night.

eh.. OK I really need to catch up here!

1st I decided to go with the push/pull/split just because I'm familiar with it.. I couldn't come up with anything else.

So it will be something like this...
M-cardio
T-chest/shoulders/triceps +HIIT or 30 min cardio
W-off or cardio (depending on if I work or not)
Th- back/biseps + HIIT or 30 min cardio
F- legs
S- cardio
Su- off or cardio

OK.. now catching up...

Tomorro I'm staying at my boyfriend's house who wakes up reaaaaaaaaally late, so I hope I won't be starving by the time he wakes up. I brought water with me, but I'd feel really stupid brining food with me. Plus his roomate is a great cook and always makes me eat, so I definitely don't want to be eating before that.
I'm also not sure if this food would be considered clean? It's usually just some type of meat or seafood, but he cooks it in oil.. not fried, just cooked with oil. And I skip the carb stuff (bread, fried poataoes..etc).
