Time for a new journal! Getting great guidance from TwinPeak on a new diet and workout plans. So here we go...

NUTRITION

Woke up about 11am, it's leg day!

Meal 1: 2 scrambled eggs, 3 slices turkey bacon, 1 slice ww toast, 2% milk
Meal 2: 5oz chicken breast, 1/2 apple
Meal 3: Isopure RTD
Meal 4: 6oz lean beef, corn-on-cob, 1/2 cup green peas, 2 % milk

After that leg workout I was so cranky and tired it was all I could do to cook dinner. But I felt much better after eating.

I was trying to go to sleep early but my brother called. He's made it out of the jungle and back to Iquito. He'll be back in the states next Saturday! Can't wait to hear all his stories!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hiya B! Good luck meeting your goals. With a guy like TP helping you out and with some good determination and will power, I know you'll do awesome!!

You sure do love your milk, don't you? Question, what do you do with the other half apple at Meal 2?

I'm sure you're excited to see your brother next week! Is he back to stay?

Posted by: Leslie

Good luck Butterfly! Your meals are looking much better

Posted by: Twin Peak

And a way we go! Can't wait to see the (rear) end results!

Good luck!

Yes, I have to have at least a glass of milk a day or I just don't feel right

and I would have eaten the entire apple but we were running out the door to get to the gym and didn't have time to finish it

Nutrition

Woke-up about noon.

B: waffles, a little dab of syrup on each piece (I was so weak after that leg workout, I caved

)
S: 5oz tuna, 3 slices bread (cal: 60, Fat: .5, Carbs: 13, Sug: 2, Prot: 2)
L: Isopure RTD, 1 cup white beans
S: none
D: 3oz pork loin chop, 1/2 cup green peas, 1/2 cup white beans

Posted by: Twin Peak

WAFFLES???? You caved on DAY 2???? And where is the syrup? Did you have any syrup (no lying....)

Butterfly, 3 slices of bread is too many. 1 if its a regular slice, 2 if its light and they need to be WHOLE WHEAT.

Posted by: butterfly

Hey it's Iron Kids bread Light!!! Tuna on WW... yuk

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Iron Kids light....it still not good for you. Have you ever tried Nature's Own whole wheat? Or you could always go to Whole Foods, they have great whole wheat bread. All natural, no preservatives.

Posted by: Twin Peak

B-- processed refined flour/breads is a no-no.

You know this.

Posted by: butterfly

I already eat Nature's Own whole wheat bread but I don't like it with tuna. If I can't have white bread with my tuna I guess I won't be eating tuna for awhile.

Hey honey. your meals look great! What are white beans?? Are they yummy..or just healthy??? where can I get them?

Posted by: butterfly

I had to wear a suit today for that video teleconference... whoever came up with the video part oughta be shot

cause I'm so uncomfortable now!

I used to wear suits everyday but since I got this job which was a major big step up, I just wear casual work clothes.

Posted by: naturaltan

I wear jeans and a golf shirt ... I've seen some of the Unix grou0p wearing ball caps and sweats. I'd love to go that far, but even I think there should be some sort of dress code when coming to work. If they gave me the choice of wearing sweats, you can bet I'd jump all over that idea.

Posted by: butterfly

My favorite is to work from home... then I can stay in my nightie all day!!!

Posted by: naturaltan

exactly ... I have asked and I might get that option if I keep bugging - that would be the very best! Although I'd change out of my nightie ... he he ... into something a little more casual ... sweats!

Posted by: Stacey

Heya Butterfly..thanks I will look for those beans!

awww the dreaded suit.. I bet you are uncomfortable! We have to wear one like once a month for meetings/ or if a big cliet is coming in. But our dress code is like yours.. casual work clothes! We can wear jeans ever day if we want- but I usually save that for thurs. and friday! Man if I worked at home.. it would be bad!! I would stay in my sweats and tank top..get up whenever.. and eat all day! I can't stay at home, because I am a person who eats when she is bored....!
2 more hours of that suit sweetie!!

Posted by: butterfly

Yeah, when I get bored with my work at home I come here!

At JSC, unless you're a nerdy engineer or rocket scientist we only wear jeans on Friday.

I took my jacket off and my shoes too but I have to put them back on to go to the printer or bathroom... damn high heels!!!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hiya B! Just want to say that the food is looking better...no white bread!

But maybe you should go to WF and check out what they have. They have all sorts of beans, some fresh and most with much lower sodium. I can't help it...I love that place!

Posted by: Stacey

ya, and there is one on Westheimer butterflY!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

P, did you ever go to the WF close to you? Did you love it?

Posted by: butterfly

That's a good idea but WF is like 30-45 mins away... and I hate going back up into town for anything b/c of all the traffic!!!

Posted by: Stacey

oH MY GOSH! YA You are right Butterfly! Traffic is horrible over here!! Maybe try it on a sunday..take the tollroad! Its right off of it!

I wonder if there is one by you!

MISS L~ Yes I LOVE IT!! I went on my lunchbreak b/c its right down the road..but I didn't have enough time! I am going back though REAL soon!! Its a great store!!

Posted by: butterfly

I think there's one in West U which would be closer for me... I know there's a Rice Epicurrean Market...

Posted by: butterfly

Wow... there are 4 in Houston...

http://www.wholefoods.com/company/texas.html

Posted by: Stacey

wow there are 4!! I definatly need to go back when I have more time!

I had an 2/3 of an EAS protein bar before the gym... I was sooo hungry!

Well, we ended up going to Chili's after the gym but I was really good. I had two grilled chicken breasts, about 8oz, and corn-on-the-cob... lots of water!

Fade was really bad! He wanted a beer and I told him no. Then he ate ribs and french fries!!! Cory and I both gave him a hard time about that. I don't know what I'm going to do... he's sure not helping me stay on my diet with all his cheats

Posted by: Leslie

I know what you mean Butterfly. My BF and I are supposed to be on a strict diet together. I am doing well, but somehow he ends up eatting pasta, big burritos or even cookies in the mall.
I like to think I have more willpower and therefore will get more results....but deep down I know it doesn't matter cause these Buff guys can eat anything and get away with it! LOl
and the minute we hav e1 french fry our pants get tight!

LOL Hang in there Butterfly! Be strong!

Posted by: butterfly

Thanks Leslie! Glad to know I'm not alone

Posted by: Miss LeDix

butterfly! You were sure up late last night, ey? You are totally not alone. I am pretty lucky in that my husband eats 'the good stuff' while we are at home. But when we go out he eats pretty much whatever he wants. However, we don't go out too much because we are trying to save $$ and because it's literally difficult for me to pick a place to eat, I am way picky about what I eat. Maybe you can have a heart to heart with him, let him know this is really important to you? I wish you only luck!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Sorry Leslie, you ladies don't corner the market on this issue. My wife doesn't eat "whatever she wants" but she just eats to stay trim (i.e. not for bodybuilding). So she gets her cheats in. At home, out, whereever. You have to have the independent, individual willpower. So Butterfly, my suggestion is, let him eat whatever he wants and focus on YOUR goals.

Going out is easy b/c, obviously, we order our separate dishes. Just make sure he orders and individual appetizer, one that you won't want to pick on. I am sure Fade will accomodate you there.

At home, my wife will make whatever protein source and a veggie for the both of us and maybe add a rice pilaf just for her.

It can be done. And on the occassion when she wants some desert, I make a smothie! You just need to focus on YOUR OWN short term goals.

Posted by: naturaltan

excellent advice TP!

Posted by: naturaltan

Morning butterfly! How are ya this morning?

So... how much did he pay you to say that???

Posted by: butterfly

Hi NT

I'm ok. Woke up with my sinuses bugging me and everytime I hit snooze and tried to go back to sleep fade would roll over and shake the whole bed... so I'm kind of tired, too.

I so don't want to be here today!!!

Posted by: Stacey

Hey Butterfly!
Oh girl I am with u on the hubby eating whatever he wants! You know.. Matt can demolish anything and not gain a pound!! He eats mexican food every day! Drinks chocolate milk, eats brownies, cheetos, etc... he loses weight instead of gains.. its extremly sick! And not fair!! But it is a disease in his case, since he has the thryroid problem where u lose weight! It sucks!

Posted by: craig777

My wife has the same problem, she wants to lose weight and I am trying to gain weight. I also weigh 215 with a great deal more muscle so my metabolism is higher, thus making me have to eat even more. My wife wants to eat what I eat and I say she shouldn't do that. She tells me why not that I am eating it. She needs to focus on her goals like TP said, not my goals.

Of course I would never ever eat ribs and french fries in front of her. I don't eat french fries anyways.

You are doing good butterfly keep it up.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

You are doing good butterfly. I am proud of you.

Keep it up.....I like your meals!

Posted by: butterfly

I know TP is telling me not to go by the scale so I'm really not BUT... I was encouraged because Sat. I weighed myself and then again yesterday morning and I lost 2lbs BUT... being the cautious person I am, I weighed again this morning and those 2lbs were still gone. Now my weight has fluctuated by a few lbs but it has not been that low since March!

I had a good workout last night, I'm eating good, and I've lost 2lbs... I'm feeling really good right now. (so nobody say anything to mess it up for me)

I'm trying to understand why you would even think that one of us would 'say anything to mess it up for you'?

I'm happy for you girl! Just stick with it and you'll see results!

Posted by: Twin Peak

nice job!

Posted by: Twin Peak

Well sis, there are lots of meanies out there!

Seriously, I think it was just an expression, ya know....

Posted by: Stacey

Way to Go ButterflY!! Thats awesome I feel really great for you honey!!

Posted by: naturaltan

Excellent! 2lbs ... 20lbs ... what's most important is that you're seeing a change and that will serve to motivate you to continue on the path you're on.

Yes... but also I didn't want a lesson in fluid retention and how the first 5-7lbs you loose are just that... or so they say.

I know my body and I've lost 2lbs.

Thanks to everyone for their support

Posted by: butterfly

Fade has been slacking so bad over the past month and I tease him all the time about how it's starting to show.

I told him I was going to get all hottiefied and he was going to be a slug so he'd better watch out... I might just have to find myself another hottie

Posted by: naturaltan

Must be the sinuses messing with my head

Posted by: Twin Peak

Still it doesn't look bad. Just make sure you get all your calories tomorrow!

Posted by: butterfly

Am I supposed to be counting calories

Lost another lb... you have no idea how motivating that is!!!

Posted by: Stacey

Damn!! Another lb.!!!! Thats AWESOME!!

Posted by: naturaltan

Losing weight should be motivating I'd think if that was your goal.

Unless you're Mrs.NT where you expect pounds to drop after only 6 weeks at the gym and needs to be motivated because she's not seeing the change ...

Check out the rainfall here...

I love that part!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

This is from CNN.com, you can read the article here

Boo-hoo, R.J. is going home. I'm sure there are a few prayer-loving teens who are weeping their eyes out, but the rest of us know what Simon knew all along: This guy was barely good enough to be a boy-band understudy.

That said, he's friggin' Stevie Wonder compared to the train wreck of Nikki McKibbin.

Of course, in order to fully appreciate the aural disaster that is Nikki, let's go back to Tuesday night's show. Hello, were there any producers on hand to make the hour less than excruciatingly painful? Why is no one telling Randy not to repeat his insidious refrain of ''Kelly, Kelly, Kelly'' and ''What's up man?'' and ''You made it your own''? Does the guy actually think he's being clever?

How about when he told R.J. ''I still love those initials, man.'' Let it go, Randy! (Bonus points to Ryan Seacrest for calling Randy on his redundancy on the Wednesday half-hour. It's about time the hosts busted on someone other than Simon. And double bonus points to Ryan for calling Simon ''prick-ly.'')

On with the gripes

The product-placement promos are too horrible to be believed. Did we really have to watch the gang raid Sephora? And those Ford Focus spots are enough to make me never buy an American car again.

Also, it was nice to see past ''Idol'' rejects sitting in the front row but couldn't anyone stop Ryan ''I so desperately want to be a'' Starr from making bizarre, ''put the camera on me!'' faces while pulling up her skanky low-cut top? (Now we know she actually dresses like that in real life and not just when she's performing).

And finally, what's up with choosing Burt Bacharach songs? I was all excited when Ryan and the dorky Dunk told us the theme was love songs, but could Burt be any further from this show's demographic? You know 95 percent of viewers had no idea who the white haired cheesemeister even was. How about getting someone good like Carole King aboard? Or what about Elton John? Or -- and I know this is major wishful thinking -- Madonna? The idea was a good one, but execution, people!

Nikki's next
But however horrible the show was for the first 50 minutes Tuesday night, nothing could have prepared us for the unbelievably off-key ''Always Something There to Remind Me'' sung by the deal-with-the-devil contestant Nikki. I felt so sorry for her Living Doll-lookalike son, Tristen, who had to watch his mother butcher an already mediocre song. Even Burt knew she was hideous when he said she'd do ''fine'' with the song. Even he couldn't muster up excitement about Ms. Tongue Pierce singing his lyrics.

At least we know, for certain, that Nikki will be going home next week. There is no way on earth she's going to outlast Justin, Tamyra, or Kelly. The only question is how brutally Nikki will butcher a song next week and if Randy will manage to tell Nikki, Nikki, Nikki that, man, she made it her own.

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Nikki really needs to go home!

Posted by: butterfly

I thought she did well in the first few shows but the last 2 or 3 songs have not been her thing!

I'm still placing my money on Kelly to win it overall!!!

Thanks for the article!

I just eat what TP says.

higher-carbs on workout days

I was supposed to have a carb at lunch but since I ate that biscuit at breakfast I only had my protein and NO SUGAR ketchup.

I was craving their Margarita Pizza (it's a big mental battle for me, logically I know better but I tend to obsess about food) so I got one... wasn't that good

So now I've finally learned my lesson... no more cheats. Well, except for that small piece of chocolate cake for dessert, after all it was a special occasion! But no more cheats!!!

No time for working out today... will do it Sunday!

Well, I tried some of that KETO Butta but it is nasty so I'll have to get TP to approve some kind od spread.

What do you eat on it?

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hi B! Just had to pipe in and say that I highly doubt that Leslie eats toast at all.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Awww B -- I'm sorry your Margarita Pizza wasn't good.
Sounds good. Is it usually good?

You know, it not being good, was a way of saying "Ha ha...na na na na boo boo...you shouldn't be eating this anyway!"

Posted by: butterfly

I see. I'm only allowed it on my workout days which I thought was going to be Satuday...

Posted by: Fitgirl70

huh??

you're only supposed to eat the pizza on the days you workout???

Damn TP, why didn't you give me a nutritional plan like that?

Posted by: butterfly

I'm LMAO, FG...

That would be the ww bread on the days I workout.

Posted by: Fitgirl70

Oh....LOL

Posted by: Fitgirl70

That would be the ideal plan though huh???

Miss LeDix is right. I haven't had bread at all. If I was at Macroni grill I would have died. I am so craving bread and butta!

But Pre' Team DPW8 I would have my FAVORITE toast form Costco...the Healthy 7 grain (purple package-it is YUMMY) with some PB....Heaven!

I take it you don't like oatmeal....

Posted by: Stacey

yuuuuummmmmmy I LOVE toast w/ Butter!!

But I only have mine on sundays

Heya B~ How long is your brother here for?? I bet that was great seeing him!!!!

oh man that was a quick visit.. but at least you got to see him!!

WOW 20-25 lbs!! Thats awesome!!

I bet he was happy to show that off!

Posted by: butterfly

Well, I can't say that he wasn't glad to get rid of the extra fat but the way he lost it wasn't completely healthy. He's eaten basically white rice and lentils and some fish since mid-June. Hiked all over the jungle, got a fungus rash from swimming in the Amazon and got some weird virus which caused flu like symptoms.

When I asked him if he'd go back he said he would answer that until the Spring when it was time to write grant proposals.

I was SOOO happy to him. He's such a great guy!

Posted by: Stacey

Oh my gosh!! Poor guy! He had to go through a lot of S$$T to lose that weight!! Man!! I don't know if I would go back either!! Sounds like hes on that tv show Survivor or something!!

Posted by: butterfly

Yeah I told him he should go on Survivor or Fear Factor... he's already got experience eating grub worms!!!

Um...1 oz of chicken is like two bites, right? Does that keep you full for longer than five minutes?

Gasp! Tamyra is voted off 'American Idol'
'American' tragedy

By Jessica Shaw
Entertainment Weekly

(Entertainment Weekly) --I spent much of last night packing, and I'm ready to renounce my American citizenship and move to Canada where the citizens would never have voted off Tamyra Gray, the most talented of the entire ''American Idol'' bunch.

After Tuesday's show, I knew Tamyra didn't do her usual stellar performances (Patti LaBelle's severely lame song, ''New Attitude,'' can now be blamed for Tamyra's downfall) but I figured there was no way Nikki would outlast her. I mean, Nikki only hits maybe one out of every six notes. Short of her last name being Verizon and her family fixing the vote, there was no way she could continue her over-long stay on America's TV screens.

But since the injustice is final, let's look on the bright side. First of all, Kelly is now a done deal -- which is sweet. She doesn't have the brilliance of Tamyra but her voice is certainly exceptional and she's become America's sweetheart. So why not America's Idol? Even though Nikki's made it this far, she's not going to be in the final two. And Justin is too hit or miss to become the ultimate winner. It's all about Kelly and if it wasn't going to be all about Tamyra, we can all be satisfied in Ducka Ducka Ducka's dominance.

As for Tamyra, there are many reasons for this week's loser to consider herself the winner. As Paula said ''tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your career.'' No doubt by the time you're reading this, record executives have already tried to woo Ms. Gray. She won't need Simon's wink or Randy's offer of help -- even though he's worked with Mariah and Whitney. (What? You didn't here the 2,000th time he reminded us?) Tamyra will be sifting through offers and won't have to endure the eternal link to this increasingly annoying show. She probably won't ever have to hear ''Tamyra Tamyra Tamyra'' uttered again, and for that, she should be extremely grateful.

Of course, now that we know who's going to win, why bother watching? So we can see Paula's sartorial disasters? (What was up with that sideways leopard hat? Did she raid her ''Straight Up'' video wardrobe?) So we can hear Randy repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly strangle the spoken word? So we can see Simon increasingly regret his decision to bring this show to the States? So we can see the ridiculously forced ''fighting'' between the judges? (As Simon said, Paula should sue her comedy writer. Her lines, such as ''Simon would critique a suicide note,'' are embarrassing.) So we can watch Ryan Seacrest looking so sure that he's got a TV career when this is all done? So we can witness Brian Dunkelman wishing he were Ryan Seacrest? The answer is a tepid yes. We've come so far watching this series that we may as well see it to the end. The sooner it's over, the sooner we can wait on line for Tamyra's first CD.

Posted by: butterfly

Thanks for sharing that article, MissL!

I don't agree that Tamyra is the better performer or singer of her and Kelly. In fact, it wasn't even until Christina got booted off that I even noticed her!!!

I am appalled that Nikki out lasted Tamyra, though. I think you could see it all over Nikki's face... she KNEW she was the least talented of the four left and she should have been the one leaving for home (Texas, you know

)

But based on the votes last night, I have to wonder who will be going up against Kelly in the final battle???

I was really hungry so I actually managed to get in a mid-morning snack. I went to the snack bar to get an apple and walked right past those DAMNED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES that were calling my name

Posted by: butterfly

An apple...

Wasn't near as filling as I'd hoped

I sure wish the snack bar would close up early today... I have to pass right by it when I go to the ladies room and with as much water as I drink, that's fairly often.

We were so busy all weekend I didn't get to do my leg workout. I'll have to get it done Tues. But our front yard looks so pretty now!!!

I felt pretty drained emotionally this weekend. Guess it was the hormone thing

and I'm still upset that I didn't get to workout

all b/c fade had to have some silly little bird. Will he ever grow up

Another week... the 4th in my new little program TP is so generously helping me with. I'm sure I've disappointed him with some of the cheats I had this weekend... but the only one I regret is the fish sandwich... that cookie was to die for and well worth it!!!

Not disappointed....they are your goals and as long as you understand that our discussions and goals didn't count on such cheats, you will realize that the end goals simply need to be pushed out. So long as you keep your cheats minimal so that you do not HALT progress.....THEN I will be disappointed! My interest is in helping you reach your goals, to me time frame is irrelevant....as long as it takes! Just stick with it.

BTW, you deserve what you got for eating the sandwich!

Posted by: Stacey

Hi Butterfly!
Ewwie I have been getting sick of that Grilled chicken sandwhich they have at McDonalds ... I am not eating there again either! Sorry you didn't get to workout! Did Fade buy a bird? lordy!

That cookie sounds YUMMY! I haven't had one from starbucks before!
Why are you emotionally drained?
SMILE~ have a good tuesday!

HI TP!

Posted by: butterfly

P ~ Yeah we were at Barnes-n-Noble and walked passed the Starbuck and got a wif of those cookies baking...yummy! I can still smell them

I think my hormones were messing with me after that long visit from Aunt Flo and that's why I felt drained.

Posted by: butterfly

I hear ya, TP... and I have kept me cheats in mind when watching my progress. It's interesting to me to see how I felt after each one. I felt fine after Friday's lunch and still ok after the cookie... but that greasy fish sandwich made my body feel ichy.

Is it possible to eat TOO much protein??? I tummy sure was bothering me last week and over the long weekend too. I was so sick of eating lean beef and pork loins I'd thought I'd

Guess that's why I strayed from the meal plan.

Heya girl! Aunt Flo really can mess up a girls emotions!!!

Hi Butterfly!

Wanted to ask you if you have ever thought about competing? You sure have the face and bod for it!

Glad your tummy is better.. I agree with TP, too much protein wouldn't do that, grease and food poisoning more likely..

Edit: I don't know where you get your strength but you sure eat like a mouse!!! I think I once told fade that too... Your lifts are awesome!
