What a Clean Diet Does....A Progress Report!

[navywife23]

Can't believe I am posting these pics, but things B Fold said to me motivated me to do so. This is just a reminder of what a clean diet and smart training can do for a body. My diet was all clean foods, no drugs, and I trained my ass off (quite literally!).

I'm posting this (and killing my pride!) so nobody - new or old - underestimates the effect of a GOOD DIET. Diet is #1 in changing your body and reaching your goals. No ifs, ands or buts. Don't make excuses, just do it. Now.

Here are pics of me taken April/May of 2003 (6 months ago). I had just taken about 6 months off eating well. I was working out, but minimally and not very hard. My diet consisted mostly of, well, of crap. I am normally "in shape", but due to life's stresses, I "boycotted" being healthy for awhile and paid the price. I gained over 30 lbs (up to 166lbs from 135) and was 30% BF (up from 21%).

Now, these were taken about a week ago. I am over 30lbs lighter and approx 15% BF. I lost over 10 inches around my hips, almost 10 inches around my waist, around 3 inches off my thighs. If you need more pictures, I have a gazillion in my gallery.

I still am a "work in progress" in that I have a lot of goals left to reach. Currently re-evaluating my training and diet to prepare for an NPC Figure Comp in Spring 2004.

It is somewhere in the first couple pages of this thread.

Basically, when i eat clean, this is what it is.....

Meal 1 ~8am
5 Egg Whites, 1 Whole Egg
1/4-1/2 cup Cream of Wheat (made w/water, cinnamon, splenda)

Meal 2 ~11am
Protein Shake

Meal 3 ~2pm
4oz lean meat (usually chicken, turkey, eye of round)
3oz red potato/yam
Fat Source (usually 1oz Almonds)

Meal 4* ~5pm
4oz lean meat
Green Veggie (unlimited)

Meal 5* ~8pm
Protein Shake (usually post workout)

Meal 6 ~9:30pm-ish
Repeat Meal 4 OR Protein Shake
Fat Source (usually 1tbsp Olive Oil or 1tbsp PB)


*Sometimes, Meal 4,5,6 are slightly different, based on when my weight workout was, or my activity level of the day. I never drink more than 3 Protein Shakes a day, actually, I try to only take in 2.

Wow! you are totally unbelievable! you truly are an inspiration to everyone..i didn't eat the pizza that they ordered for the office today.. I ate my tuna on ww bread w/ my big bottle of h20..and it's sooo funny, i saw this right when the pizza got here..and i sat at my desk and thought..now do you really, really want that pizza..and after reading and seeing you..i said, naaah. it's not worth it! I will have my cheat day on Sunday. So why cheat now! FORGET IT!

I read this whole thread! I can not believe that you are 30! that is amazing! you rock!!!! When I go home, I'm gonna look at the rest ofyour pictures, after my leg workout. lol. here is an example of what im eatting and doing..pretty much, body for life..have you heard of it?

break- 1/2 baked s.potato w/ splenda, cinnamon and i can't believe it's not butter, 2 egg whites, 1 whole egg. water or tea

snack- protein shake w/ skim milk, sometimes w/ a piece of fruit.

lunch-salmon salad w/ w.w. noodles, on lettuce

snack-protein shake

dinner- grilled chicken w/ green beans..yesterday i had a chicken quesidia..on a w.w. toritia (sorry I CAN NOT SPELL!!)

if i continue to feel hungry, sometimes, i'll eat cottage cheese w/ half a scoop of protein powder and splenda...

as for weights, 3 days a week 2 days upper, 1 lower or vice versa..and i do 6 sets..like this
12 reps x 10 reps x 8 reps (increase weight here)x 6 reps (increase)x 12 x 12 and the last 2 sets are back to back. no rest..

cardio is about 30 min. 3 days a week, intervals. and somedays, i do hiit. for a few minutes, before a weight workout..just to get my heart rate up..you know..

so, if you could..just let me know what you think. if you have any pointers on how to tweek this, let me know-I AM ALL EARS! LOL

<--I WANNA BE ABLE TO DO THAT AND LOOK GOOD!

THANKS SO MUCH

Daisy_Girl you look great! For the past 6 months I've been training and as soon as I start seeing results I get sick. Can you please tell me how you went about your clean diet and trainning?

Great job, Daisy_Girl!

This is probably the thread for me that encourages me not to give up.
Thanks for giving us some much needed inspiration!

Daisy I can't tell you what an inspiration you are to me!!!!! I have always been an athlete and in great shape up until after the marathon I ran last summer, after which I broke up with my guy of 5 yrs. I definitely boycotted eating healthy and religiously working hard in the gym. I am back on track now, but the most difficult part for me is DIET!!! Reading this thread helps me get the motivation I need to take it day by day when it comes to eating clean. I am going to be taking before pictures Monday and I am going to post them so there is no looking back Thank you for all the inspiration and AWESOME advice!!!!

Okay Help, Mom 32, needs your thoughts.

Okay, now I need help, new to the post, but an old timer

Now 32 5 foot 8 and 152.... looking to go back to 132 of old size... Before I had Jes now 3, I was 130 around there and an aerobic director, weight lifter, etc.. don't have the time like I used to..

I can do the atkins diet and did it, because I gained 86 with my kid and lost almost all but 10 lbs.. but dont' want to have to be so restrictive.

Just want to jump on board again and forgot how to do it, because it has been a couple years.

I can't go to a gym right now, so I have to find a way to lose the 20lbs with the right diet and exercise at home and need help..

So help!!!
