Progress Not Perfection....

Posted by: katie64

Starting a new journal, I’ll be posting meals and daily training.

My major goal, (which hopefully will be met by my 40th birthday 4/10/04)is to be at a decent w8(130), reasonably low BF(12-15%), and to maintain a low carb, moderate fat, high protein diet, after I get my cals up to a consistent level (2150 cals), I still may try the keto or carb cycling diet, this is subject to change as I learn more about both diets………

My training will remain as I did in my haywire journal, but I will add the 6 days of split cardio, this seems to be a controversial subject but I have read more about the benefits of it and w8 loss.

As some of you know, my w8 loss is imperative because of my medical issues thus meaning it is a priority for me……

As before if you have any feedback or suggestions, feel free, I would appreciate it………….Katherine

Posting Meals and Workout...........(Copy & Paste unless I alter my day)my meals are 3 hours apart........
EAS CC Shake
1c. Java
1tbls. Cream
1 LTR. H20

Omelet, 1 & 5wht
1 sl. Cheese

2c. let/tom/cuke
1 can Tuna
1tlbs. Mayo
1 LTR. H20

EAS CC Shake
1c. Java
1tbls. Cream
1LTR. H20

6oz. Chicken (will be having)
2c. Gr. Beans
1tbls. PB

Cals. 1280 F58 C13 P150


Only 3 LTR of H2O so far, start my 4th at dinner, try for 5 tomorrow...........

Workout.........

20 min... Elliptical
Flat Swiss Ball DB Press 3 12/10 (2)12/20
Machine Chest Press 3 12/50 10/50 8/72
Incline Swiss Ball DB Fly 3 12/10 (2)12/20
DB Pullover on Swiss Ball 3 12/10 (2)12/20
Push Ups over Swiss Ball 3 20 10 on the last set (ugh)

I'll try and bump up my proteins until I reach 2150 cals, hopefully by the end of the week, then I'll stay at that level, I would think at least 4 weeks, then I will drop the cals or start one of the 2 diets I mentioned..........more than likely the carb cycling, I'm not sure if the Keto is feasible for me at this point, it would drop my energy level too much and I can't be that way during the summer months..........

That's it..............

sorry it took me a bit, didn't realize the breakdown on your shakes til ya posted it this time.

Add a second scoop of protein in the shakes, and another tbls of the cream.

Do that to each of your shakes, that should get your pretty close without even a big change.

oh yeah, and sara had the best idea for the water. Just carry around a 1.5 litre bottle with you everywere. That's what I do and have done ever since I started drinking enough water.

not to much protein, the body can absorb they say around 65-70g per meal. And with her trying to up her cals without increasing her carbs very much. The only way to do that is by adding more protein and fats.

56 would be high if it was every meal, but every once in a while it won't kill her or her diet.

However I noticed she didn't add in the Oreo in there anywere? eheeehhh j/k At least it was good. heheh

Jen



Posted by: sara

It would be better if she had 30-37 grams of protein in every meal but once in a while with 50 grams is fine (once in a while)

I know it's hard figuring out whether to up the fat(which I don't want to do) or the protein, either way I'm losing, not moving the scale anymore but my pants are not tight, good sign, prolly from the training, which is fine with me..............did someone say OREO's..............
Double stuffed..........

3LTR.water

Totals 1297 66 15 147


I had too much fat....the extra coffee.......

No workout......still ache like hell..............I need a massage


JMT (Just my thoughts).............I'm a little wishy washy with my diet..........but the more I read about Keto, the more I want to do it, the problem is still upping my cals, for those of you that read this, I'm working my cals up from about 600cals a day, "undereater" thus slow to dead metabolism.........but I've adjusted to 5 meals a day because I get hungry now which is a big plus for me..........also with my research of sorts, I have found out even on Keto (Atkins Induction/SKD) there are some things I can't or shouldn't have because I have no gall bladder, which limits my foods as well.........

I will 86 the 1/2 & 1/2 coffee I drink and go to straight decaf........no sugar, so I need to go through everything I eat and check of the sugar content, as well as natural sugars......I'm sure there's more I need to alter, but should have that figured out by the first of next week, if all goes well I hope to start then, I'll do the induction for 2 weeks, see how it goes, if it's working I'll stay on it, if I find it too difficult to maintain, I'll switch it to CKD, or dvlmn and (TP's)carb cycling or back to W8's plan........but I've am definitely doing the Keto first.

I have changed my mind on this often but I have been eating good in the mean time, so if worse comes to worse and I don't start this, I'm still eating good.........

I've also noticed my butt's getting smaller LOL, I'm slimming down which I mentioned earlier today, so I'm psyched about this, which also means what I'm doing is working so far..........I'm thankful to W8 and DP for this plan I've been on, and now for my next research I will checking into vitamins, minerals and herbal type (alternative medicines)

Meal 4 coulda added a second scoop of protein.

How did the flax and cream mix in that taste, I can't stand the taste of flax seed oil.

Good luck on the SKD, can't wait to see how you like it.



Posted by: sara

Kaite, you need to add some veggies to you'r meals.. more veggies would add up few calories that you need

I was thinking of the carbs, there is 3g carbs in my protein powder, have you done an SKD b4, it is the same as Atkins right???

Flax, cream and protein powder but the EAS helped a little, I need to rethink this shake thing, maybe a meal instead.....

Unless your using a zero carb protein like the Zero Carb Isopure, there will be some carbs. But until you start the SKD and know how many if any carbs are allowed per day. Don't worry about it, and get your calories in line with what your going for and add the extra scoop.

Nope I haven't done a SKD or TKD I like the Carb Cycling, it's been working for me. TP did a TDK not to long ago. Have you read up on the SKD? I'll do some research if ya want.

yes another meal would be better, any time you can have real food instead of shakes it's better. lol, oh sure listen to me, and I almost always have at least 3 shake. **hanging head**

I gotta take my own advice one of these days. lol

I'm going to try for as close to zero carb as I can, I still need to find the SKD........the Atkins allows 20g of carbs.........the restaurant opens today, so it will be easier for me to have another small meal, instead of the protein shake, I went to 1Fast 400 and the Isopure there has 25 g of carbs, maybe I was reading the wrong one.........I'll check Butterfly's link she gave me, what is TKD...........is it in his present journal??? Or at Avant???

Yea Eat some food, D........... Going into your journal now.......



Posted by: dvlmn666

OOps it's CKD that TP does.

Here's a link to his journal but yes he keeps a more detailed one over at avant:
http://www.cuttingedgemuscle.com/For...&threadid=3735

Isopure has a few different kinds of protein, but they have a Zero Carb version, that's what I use.

here is a good thread that describes some of the different diets. You were right the SKD is a modified atkins. Personally I'd rather see ya do the CKD diet. That way you wouldn't lose so much muscle along with fat.

secret club ???? j/K



Posted by: Twin Peak

SKD (standard)
TKD (targeted)
CKD (cyclical)

Ketogenic Diet.

Atkins is a type of SKD, no carb ups.

TKD is no carb ups per se, but you eat a specific amount of carbs around your w/o.

shhhhh dude your in it, you were a silent partner.

Gawd dang.............I'm going to be reading all weekend..........Thanks TP

WOW, I really just wanted to try something different to see what works for me and what doesn't.........hmmmmmmmm



Posted by: katie64

I have read that thread here..........do I have to become a member of cuttingedgemuscle?????



Posted by: dvlmn666

you shouldn't have to. Guests have access to the journals I think.

try going to www.cuttingedgemuscle.com and then click on the forums and then check out the journals sections. TP's is around the top 5 or so.



Posted by: katie64

I joined anyway, there's alot of Im members over there..........so I've been reading for the past 5 hours, have tons of info yet none of it is computing..grrrrrrrrrr ...........and I forgot to post my meals and workout, will do it tomorrow.....still reading



Posted by: katie64

I find more info on the CKD than anything else............and I have yet to find an outline of the SKD or Ketogenic, simple but complete....hmmmmmmmmm I don't want to read a 100 pages to get a simple outline........



Posted by: katie64

OK so I'm thinking, if I do the SKD, which I will assume is the same as Ketogenic...........it will be fat & protein, no carbs and no carb ups............which will mean no energy, so I will pobably need more supps, maybe change my training schedule and keep a consistent amount of cardio............any suggestions from anyone.......



Posted by: katie64

I'm done reading for tonight, my brain isn't working anymore, I have 2 days to plan my diet, which obviously is going to be fairly easy, because I can't eat much.........same thing continuously I guess, which is OK, I'm fairly boring when it comes to food, my problem is just eating the damn stuff..........so that will be my hard part.....making sure I eat............anybody have suggestions on supps to take while doing this........I'm going to probably do my same workout, less sets, I'm not worried so much about losing muscle at this point, I'm very strong and quite muscular, and my main objective is dropping some w8, for those of you that are curious of my stats, I can PM them to you, otherwise I will state my progress with only w8 loss and decrease in inches, I'll redo pics and measurements on Sunday, but again will not post them, personal choice..............Ok that's it........ I need to figure out my LBM too, anyone know where I can read on this.........I'm getting lazy, D's doing all my searches for me..........

Posted by: sara

are you balancing all the meals?



Posted by: katie64

This is the base for my Keto(SKD) diet, more than likely the steak and ground beef will be very limited, it doesn't set with me right, I would have added seafood, but I need to eat a ton of it to get any cals, point being, I'm trying to keep my cals up, while keeping fats fairly low and minimal carbs(almost none), my coffee will be decaf, I will drink H2o and Crystal Lite Lemonade (0 everything)when I want something different, also green tea...........vitamins will be woman's multi(I'm switching mine it has 1 carb in it), green tea supps, coral calcium.........I'll add more as needed or suggested..........the only spices used will be lemon/pepper, garlic(of course) and pepper..........

My workout, as stated last night in my ramblings, will remain "W8's plan" she gave me, I'll lower sets if I feel I can't do them properly, cardio splits 6 days a week(w/HIIT), abs 2on 1off (maybe 2 off), we'll see.........

I'm doing this for 4 weeks starting 5/19, I will rethink everything at that point

sheesh.... was the erotic sig line always there??? that is the first time I have read that one! LOL

so... bad day eh, Katie?

I didnt get any prep for next week done today cuz i spent the *entire* day on the freakin yard... it was a jungle out there! I think thats the first yard ive ever mowed (yup... even had to buy a mower at walmart this morning!) in my life and it took forever!

Seems like i ended up snacking out of the fridge all day.... all clean foods that were on plan... but whether I ate enough, or too much... no idea!

Here's to tomorrow!

I haven't eaten enough today, just busy all day, I forgot my shakes and my green tea.........I'm not drinking enough water either, I need to focus better on this.......

I feel better even though I was low carb b4, I don't feel that heaviness that you get from carbs.......

I'm not balancing my meals very well, I'll change this too, my days have been off, waking up late........I'm been doing alot of yard work at home and at the business, so I didn't do my workout today, but I feel like I did.........plus my ankle is as big as a grapefruit, really sucks, probably time to have surgery again, it's been 10 years and they go in and scrape the arthritic point, I only have 40% mobility in that one ankle, at it's best I might have 80%, squats kill me, hurts like hell..........if I have to have this done again, I'll do it this winter and time it with my boob job, HEHE , if I need one........

Food choices look good. For fat, I'd rather see more yolks then bacon, but that's me.

You might also consider supplementing with fish oil.

Thanks TP...I'll add a yolk and 86 the bacon.......

I read that bacon, sausage, beef, cheese and creamy salad dressings are not good for someone without their gallbladder, so yes I do need to cut that out, bad choice... out of laziness.

But the filet was goooooood, I'll pay for it later, and last night I was so hungry b4 I went to bed, I thought it might fill me up but I get to have the shake tonight b/c I screwed up the timing of my meals, really need to get the isopure, it's expensive though...........

I spoke with Valerie and she gave me the amounts to take but I can't find the damn paper I wrote it on, I have so many notes all over my desk, and I deleted the message but I was thinking of trying cod liver oil, someone told me it's good for the brain also, any idea how much I need to take and when I should take them???? And if that is a good choice of fish oil?????

JMT............I'm sure not many members here support this type of diet, but then again not many members need to lose alot of w8 here..............I'm still going to finish this, I've heard both negative and positive about it, so I'll assume it's different for everyone..



Posted by: dvlmn666

what's JMT? How many calories are you trying to get up to/day?

Also looks good, how are your enegy levels so far? As well as how long do you go before a carb up, or is this the one were there is none?

OH yeah one more thing: DON'T GET FRUSTRATED OR PISSED IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE AS SIMPLE AS FORGETTING TO ADD CREAM TO YOUR COFFEE. (unless it's for taste of course)

mistakes happen to everyone, all we can really do is try to eliminate as many as possible. Your doing great so far, just try to relax a little more, still be strict but try not to get so frustrated from little things.

oh yeah sorry to hear about the stuff that happened this weekend. **hugs**

"Just My Thoughts"... Calories between 2000 and 2200, I need a place to cut from.........not sure if you are aware but I have worked up from around 600 cals a day, I was an undereater, thus stopping my metabolism...........

I feel great, energy seems better than b4, no carb ups, I'm doing this for 4 weeks then will change things up if needed, if it's working then I'll need to decide if I can maintain it or if it's going to stall, then I will go back to the low carb or the carb cycling, probably carb cycling first b/c I haven't done it yet.....

No No.....I forgot to add it to my totals.........cals, f, c, p......

Not that it would have brought it up much more, hell yes I use it for taste, coffee is yuck without it, hehe , I use equal too(just 1), I used to put 4 sugars in my coffee, b4 I came here........HAHAHA

Well if your going to stick with it, I'd reccomend a weekend of carbing up, and then do another 4 weeks.

As well as if your going to switch, to one of the others. Eat at maintence calories for 2-4 weeks first so your metabolism settles down. And then start on your next experiment. That way you can guage the effectivness completely and truthfully.

wow you weren't eating at all. Congrats on all the good work you've done so far.

yeah it was fun, but went by to fast and was to busy.

What did I just tell you!!!

You didn't blow the day, you blew a meal, get over it and move on, like I've told a few of my clients, just because you make a mistake in one meal, don't feel like you messed up the whole day. Just stick to the plan and keep going.

Glad you had fun at least , she'll be with you soon though, right???

Yea, I had to practically force myself to eat when I first started, now at least I have a little appetite, I actually get hungry.......that's a good idea for when this ends, after today I'm going to be more strict, can't wait to get the Isopure..........I really need to get my ass outta bed in the am, so I can stay on a time schedule, starting Saturday, I'll have to, I run my breakfast shift @ the restaurant so I'm up by 5:30 and out the door by 6:30........ ....so that will help.........

Posted by: katie64

OK< going to workout then eat.............which makes me think of another question, does it matter what and when you eat according to your workouts????



Posted by: katie64

What I mean is, how long should I w8 after I eat to workout, and how long after and what is best to eat????



Posted by: dvlmn666

Ok, I'd say eat about 15-30 minutes before you work out. And then you should have a shake right after your workout, and then a regular meal about 1-1.5 hrs after that.

Hey we might have just figured out how to get your calories the rest of the way up there.

egg protein has no carbs

Aaahh I see! Yes, I guess I missed this earlier! Well, my friend in Orlando is doing something like this and claims after 2.5 weeks has lost 25 lbs. However, he states his body is not dropping as fast anymore. But I re-explained that with all his sugars, excess carbs and water weight is what came off fast and now his body is attacking the fats very hard and that weight is going to take some time.

Well, this looks a lot better than the other day! No skipped meals and more protein selection! I see you like seafood! Just don't tell me your not eating whole belly clams and I'll be fine on this side! (My favorite food I can NOT get here SFLA!!!)

Looks great, Katie considering I know what path of diet your taking!

Want me to send you some clams, they look great this time of year, I love steamers..........we go down to the beach here and dig for them, well the kids do, but their big, I don't like them that way..........Shaun dug 1 up last week and insisted on having it w/dinner, I cooked it and served it and he thought it looked disgusting....it was too funny..............BTW, he's 5, my boys don't like seafood, but my daughter loves it, think she'll end up being a vegetarian, she hates meat.....

I'm doing Keto/SKD..........very low to no carbs, doesn't that include greens...........I'm pretty sure it does...........this next week, since I don't think I have done so well this week, I will try to go lower on the carbs, but even eggs have carbs and I eat 3c. of romaine a day, which I will still do, I think the lowest I could get is 5 carbs per day, does it have to be ZERO carbs to get into Ketosis............I didn't think so but I could be wrong???????
NO it doesn;t have to be zero carbs to get to ketosis. It looks like you ahave zero carbs anyway. I wouldn;t worry about the carbs in eggs or in whey protein. It is not a big deal. It is like counting the protein in oatmel. Yeah, there is protein in there but where???? It is basically a carb source so that is how I look at it. Eggs=protein and some fat, don;t worry about the 1g of carbohydrate. Also make sure you keep the greens in there, you don;t have to count theses either, the fiber is really going to help in gastric emptying with all the protein you are eating to fill out your diet were carbs are missing.

Hey, thanks for visiting my journal, and thanks for the answers, yea, I need my romaine lettuce...........



Posted by: P-funk

Romaine lettuce is a life saver on a low carb diet. How often do you carb up on your CKD? And if you are thinking about a TKD what type of carbs are you going to use around your w/o?



Posted by: katie64

I'm not carbing up at all right now, although I did today, I'll be starting a leg challenge and HST workout in a week, so I will do TKD at that time, carb up will be creatine in the protein shake after my workout, I think that's what D told me to do..I'll have to check my PM's,



Posted by: katie64

Nope it's Dextrose



Posted by: P-funk

creatine is an amino acid not a carb??

what about pre w/o?

no carb ups at all right now? Aren't you scared of catabolic.....or passing out in the weight room. lol



Posted by: katie64

I always thought that was just sugar, hhhmmmmmmmm

It hasn't bothered me so far, I am more tired but that could be due to working alot more now, and my workout room is in my basement, I should be careful..........I didn't really think about that



Posted by: dvlmn666

She was doing SKD, which is basically Atkins.

And I'd said dextrose with her post workout shake. Pre workout I don't think it would really make that big of a difference right before her workout. but post workout it would help with her recovery and get that energy level back up. Whatcha think P-funk?



Posted by: katie64

Pre w/o, protein shake, Post w/o, protein shake and 25g dextrose

I thought that dextrose was sugar is what I meant to say, what kind of carb do I need to have after my w/o, can you buy dextrose????? Is that a stupid question........hehe

It is but is prefect for post workout. you can get it at: www.1fast400.com or www.proteincustomizer.com

those are the two places TP told me that were good to get it from.

That sounds good. Pre w/o though, I would grab some protein and fat just to be sure no to go catabolic. Whey shake with flax is a good choice. Post w/o the dextrose sounds good and then makle sure about 1-1.5hrs after that youy have a normal meal.

The only reason I said maybe carbs before w/o is becuase she is not doing any carb ups so she is really depleted and the carbs pre w/o would help to give her some energy to get through it. Then the carbs after would help to jump start recovery before she goes back to zero carbs and what we hope would be back into ketosis.

Katie, do you have lypolisis sticks to know if/when you are in ketosis? That would be a big help, although they are kind of expensive.

My other question, just because I am curious, is why a ketogenic diet? Ketosis is not nesecary for fat loss. Why not just a normal low carb diet? It would be a lot easier, especially when workouts come into play.

Hey Katie...first time here in your journal...I am wondering the same thing as P-Funk...why is ketosis your goal...IMO this kind od nutritional plan doesn't work well with intense weight training.

I think you could get gr8 results with just a lower carb diet.

YEAH KATIE!! That sounds awesome honey!!! CONGRATS!~!!

oh and I'm about to pm' ya back... I'm not ignoring ya..just busy



Posted by: Stacey

love your new avi!!! YOU LOOK GREAT!!! You are really pretty!!



Posted by: Fit Freak

Hey Katie...might I suggest a new style of training that I think would better fit in with your goals??

ANSWER - alternating upper and lower body workouts utilizing circuit training.

Example:

M - Upper
T - Lower
W - REST
Th - Upper
F - Lower
Sa - REST
Su - REST

Do cardio though in addition to this.

If you're interested say "I" and I can get more specific in terms of exercises, etc.

Also...I think your calories are quite low...how long have you been dieting now...at 1000-1200 cal/day it doesn't leave you much room to make changes...I just don't want to see you slow down your metabolism too much...k

Katie...I'm going to reply to your pm here...I think it'll be better so others can see it and learn from it!

Circuit training is designed to keep your heart rate up throughout the entire workout. It's not a style of training that typically leads to muscle growth...it's more for firming/toning. What I like about it is that you accomplish two things....resistance training as well as a modified cardio workout all in one! Not to mention it's time efficient!

IMO...your current training style seems to be geared more towards muscle growth...similar to a workout split a BBer would implement. Fot fat loss training I almost always implement circuit training for my clients and it helps a lot.

There are many different ways to put together a circuit....your imagination will be your limit!

As I mentioned I would do an upper body circuit, lower body circuit...take a day off...and REPEAT!

Perform 3 circuit per workout and ...well this is just my opinion and some may disagree (which is fine by me)...but I would keep the reps in the 12-15 range. Reps of 8-12 are for muscular hypertrophy which is not your goal. I also prefer to perform circuits with free weights...you will use more muscles (involves stabilization muscles), you don't have to worry about moving from machine to machine and someone using the machine you need, and free weights are quick and easy to change exercises.

Upper Body Circuit (example):

Flat Bench DB Press
Single Arm DB Row
Seated Lateral Raise
Seated Alternating Biceps Curl
Kickbacks
Ball Crunch
Back Extensions

This is just an example...take no rest between exercises. Rest for 2-3 minutes after the circuit and complete it 3 times in total.

Lower Body Circuit (example):

Forward Lunge
Wide Stance Squats (holding a DB between your legs)
SLDL
Step-ups (holding weights if too easy...make sure to take a complete step as well as chose a steep step to involve the glutes/hams)
Standing Calf Raise (one leg at a time...holding a DB)
Lying Leg Curl

Now as you can see the possibilities are endless. Change your circuits every 4 weeks or so to add variety and keep things fun!

Now...Katie...it's important for you to remember that many people in the fitness field have our own ideas and opinions on what works best. It's very often a matter of opinion...not right or wrong. The trick is to try different things and see what works best for you.

Hope this is of help to ya....sorry for the long post...FF



Posted by: katie64

Thanks FF.............hmmmmmmm I am moving into a total state of confusion now...........



Posted by: katie64

I really need to re-evaluate what I'm doing here, I am totally confused as to what would be best now.............



Posted by: katie64

I set up time w/ a trainer to learn the proper form for the leg challenge, so I'll start next Thrusday, doing a form of HST for upper body training, and will change my diet to TKD for the next 4 months............Then, probably will do carb-cycling diet and maybe back to W8's training plan or the circuit training, obviously that's down the road, so we'll see where I'm at.............psyched for the challenge, hope I can do it, my squats will have to be elevated because of my ankle, that's actually a plus for me b/c it's already incorporated into the program.............



Posted by: katie64

I ate well until this evening then I had a sub(meatball) I had been doing so good, now I feel like shit, yucky ...........last time for that, I really like the way I eat now..............

I'm not starting the challenge til Thursday so I will do split cadios 30 min each am/pm until then, starting the TKD Monday, I need the next 2 days of very low carbs, I feel so much better without carbs, I will post my meals here of course and my HST workout which will also start on Monday but will post my leg workout in the Leg challenge sub forum..........I'm doing the challenge every 5 days, (not the Phase I, 4 week), I will adjust my HST accordiningly.

My schedule will look like this: HST, OFF, HST, LC, OFF, (repeat)

JMT: I'm already fearing failure on this leg challenge because of my knees and ankle but also because I've only been working out for 2 months, and mostly because it's a 100 REPS



Posted by: Burner02

100 reps in a row, or as in as few sets as possible?
I get BORED when I try and get 20 reps on anything....

Yep, I was reading over my routine last night, and a 100 reps isn't so bad broken down, sounds like alot, but I do 1/2 that amount of reps now........



Posted by: david

I think that scheme is perfect for what your trying to achieve Katie! 100 reps in variation or straight through for legs can do anyones body good. Just stick on the headphones burner or if your training at home.... blast the stereo!!!

I have my client up to 50 reps but I think Sunday, I'm going to cut his plates in half to do the 100 rep scheme! :thum:

Keep up the great work, Katie!

Nope, how are you, I blew my diet big time this weekend, I didn't eat enough and I ate some carbs, not too many but enough the last 2 days to make me feel really uncomfortable............

I'm actually kinda glad I did, because it showed me exactly why I have felt the way I have for the last 5 years, carbs make me very tired and irritable, almost like PMS...........hehe

I've neglected my fitday journal too, will get back on track now......
