Right now I feel a bit stressed. At work it's tax season and I'm trying to avoid coming in on the weekends. I'm adding an addition to my home for a workout room, also buying workout equipment to go in it & trying to stick to my workouts. Madness!!!!! I really, really want to log my food journal but need some more time to access things. Please be patient with me, I want to continue to be part of this strong team!
Thanks Toots13

I understand you're busy with work, I'm accountant, so I'm crazy busy too.
I'm asking you what you're eating because you were saying in another thread that you're tired, it's possible that it's something in your diet.

I'm not saying for you to change anything, I'm just asking you what are you eating...it doesn't take any more energy to write what you ate for the day than it does to write what you did at the gym.

 

[The Shadow]

nope...she tired b/c shes doing 75 minuts of cardio per session...PLUS combining 2 bodyparts for the weights

 

[toots13]

Alright, girl, I know you're right. First off I just want to get this off my chest. The past few years I was into competitive sports, marathons & cycling, so one of my goals is to have shorter cardio sessions because coming from that background you had countless hours of cycling & running. Also, those damn magazines with the figure competitors, talking about their cardio session & twice a day cardio sessions, UGGHHH! I'm working on changing things. They used to be at least an hour & half. You girls & Shadow too have made me see the light. Just in what I'm doing now I see muscle addition and a much better look. I hope to improve more physically & mentally.
As far as food:
March 1
1/3 c Multigrain oatmeal, 1 scoop protien, SF syrup, 1 tbsp bran flakes
1 low carb tortilla, 2 1/2 oz. Healthy Choice Roast Beef, 5 strawberries, 1 cup steamed veggies
1/2 blue bunny yogurt, 1/2 scoop protien, 1/2 pkg sf pudding
2 oz tuna, 1/2 c green beans, 1/4 cup black beans, 1/2 broccoli slaw, 1 serving baked tostidos, salsa
2 protien cookies, homemade 1 blue bunny yogurt
March 2
Multigrain oatmeal (above)
Lunch same as above
4 egg whites, 1/2 tbsp soynut butter, 2 tbsp cinnamon apples No sugar added

remember what I said a few posts back girl....BABY STEPS....

Just be honest with yourself and us...and what I mean by that is write what you're eating along with your activity...not what you SHOULD be eating or doing, but what you ARE eating and doing...GOT IT!!!!!!

Give it some time, you'll get the hang of it, and I promise it gets easier


The 75 minute cardio sessions whoa that's alot, and again you aren't eating enough. I know it takes time but you'll start to feel better when you cut down on the cardio and fuel you body better.

We're here for you hun, just keep POSTING!!!!! ok??

^^^ It took me forever to do this... and my results speak for themselves

I am guilty of overtraining too.. And even though 1.5 of cardio feels good and you think you are doing something good for your body you are probably just eating away at your muscle. I know the feeling though but really your body will thank you if you listen to shadow

 

[toots13]

Whew! I feel alot better, now that you know my whole story. Thank you, I wish I could give you a big bear hug! You have been such a sweetie! I will log in daily, even if I have to stay up a bit later at night to do it. You are so right, in that, I know you can't help if I don't log in & am not giving you the whole picture. I will be honest even if it's something I've done that I'm not proud of. I know that things will improve because of what I already see. Love your & everyone else's support and understanding. LOL
