Are there on-line trainers or moderators that Im supposed to ask for advice as I go along?

Female
5'1.5"
22 yrs old
117 lbs (weighed myself this morning)

Unaware of my measurements, but I fit into a comfortable 4, a snug 2.

Activities:
Run
w/o - moderate weight lifting
Surf
rollerblading
kickboxing

Goals:
To tone up. Nothing drastic - but I want to pay attention to what I do this time

Posted by: Jodi

Welcome!

Give us a daily breakdown of food and exercises and if you want help we all, mods and members, will provide assistance as you go or as much as you ask for.

I dont eat much, and as I read through the links and advice of the Body Builders, I definetely dont have the same goals as everyone else.

I dont enjoy meat as much as everyone - though Im not exactly a vegetarian. I try to eat healthy, and even though a lot of the foods I eat you probably think is bad, I dont think its TOO bad.

Foods yesterday 7-15-2003

Breakfast - Oatmeal and a banana with some granola

Snack - Fit Yogurt w/ 9 grams of sugars, and a red apple

Lunch - Turkey sandwich on wheat bread, tomato, lettuce and mustard, small bag of pretzels

Snack - Cliff bar

Dinner - grilled chicken breast with teriyaki sauce and broccoli

Snack - Tea w/honey and a graham cracker

I drank about 5 - 6 bottles of water yesterday (normal for me).

Workout:
Abs and legs with 5 lb. ankle weights
Ran 4 miles yesterday at different speeds and inclines.
10 minute stretch

Thanx Jodi. As a moderator, do you only look for a certain type of diet plan? Or are you all pretty much open to different styles?

Also, is everyone here cutting as you call it? Are there any journals you suggest?

Hi Sawheet, Not really with the before pictures, I am not planning on anything that drastic anyway.

I have a lot of pictures on my computer I can put up though. I'll find some and paste them in my journal.

No I am open to many styles and suggestions. For myself, I do prefer some plans over others and alot of that is just through experimenting and trial and error.

Check out my journal, Julie, JBo, Shortstuff...........those are some good ones to follow because we are all pretty consistant about updating them everyday.

You eat alot of carbs, but you seem real active. I have to up my carbs when I am doing heavy activity as well, I use the cliff bars when I am climbing and stuff. You may want to up the fat with flax seed oil to help with the sugar cravings (if any). Listen to Jodi and JBO and the others, they know there stuff

Posted by: Kimbro11

Thanx!

Posted by: sawheet

No prob welcome to IM

Posted by: Kimbro11

I have a lot of old pictures from before the summer. I'll spare you and only put up two.

Posted by: Kimbro11

It only lets me put up one per page?

Posted by: shortstuff

So since Im active, my foods are ok?

Posted by: shortstuff

If your goals are endurance and the long distance activities I don't see a huge problem, but with lifting I might see eating a little more protein, but it isn't a huge amount of food

but what do i know LOL

Thanx Shortstuff. Those are old pictures anyway.

I mean, I dont have many problems with myself as in weight or activities - maybe everything is just working because of my metabolism?

Posted by: naturaltan

welcome Kim!!

I'm like you in regards to the metabolism still kicking strong.

I do eat healthy, but I can sneak a bit here and there and not notice it.

Posted by: Kimbro11

Hi and thanx Naturaltan.
I like your location. Swingers is one of the best movies I think

Posted by: Kimbro11

lol

Oh oops- am I supposed to put these in the pictures section?

I'm not in Vegas ... I'm just excited about our trip there.

There are a handful from this forum meeting in Vegas in October. Swingers ... I don't think I've seen that movie - but it sounds interesting.

Posted by: Kimbro11

Wow, you havent seen Swingers?

(haha the smilies on here are cool)

Thats the greatest movie. Are you guys all going to Vegas to party?

Posted by: Jodi

Kim,
I think you need more veggies in your diet and a bit more protein. Other than if you are just trying to stay healthy I think your fine.

My suggestions:

More Green Veggies
More Proteins
EFA's

Posted by: Kimbro11

Jodi, thank you for the advice - do you suggest any sources of protein besides meats?

Posted by: Jodi

Cottage Cheese
Eggs
Legumes
Protein Powder
Tofu

Tuna or any Fish (or do you consider this meat)
Veggies - a cup of broccoli alone has 9G Protein in it

You vegetarian? You should think about reducing a bit of your carbs and replacing them with more GREENS

Not really a vegetarian, I just hardly eat meat. I dont dislike it, I just dont like it.

lol!

I HATE tofu.

(i really like these smilies)

Legumes like beans? I think the only things I can actually manage to eat every day are the cottage cheese, maybe the powder and veggies. That wont be enough, will it?

Yes, there are several legumes, beans, many different kinds and they are a good source of protein. What about poultry?

This is our first time meeting but we've all been chatting here for more than a year or so and have come to know each other pretty well.

Posted by: Kimbro11

I eat chicken and turkey. I guess I dont really eat much fish - or red meats like beef and pork. Sometimes I will eat a steak, but thats rare.

Why vegas of all places? The city of being flat broke in one night?

Posted by: naturaltan

Originally it was to go see the Mr. Olympia contest, but quickly turned into a major party plan. I don't know that those how are going are big gamblers .. I do know that all those going are gearing up for the night life and daytime thrill seeking tour (rollercoasters, indoor skydiving, bungee jumping, etc)

For me approx. 3 years. By Fall I plan on going on maintenance and my diet will look alot different than it does now. Julie just started a few months ago. I don't know about Shortstuff. J'Bo has been doing this for a few years as well.

No ... no one here is entered. Like I said the Mr. Olympia turned into a reason to party. But I know that some of us will attend some of the events. For instance, my wife and I will probably go see the prejudging for the men and women. Then there are several free events happening to that we'd like to see.

3 hours away ... well come on down! The more the merrier.

Posted by: Kimbro11

Hey, I just might

.. And I found out Aggies is my neighbor - so Im going to try and recruit her to come out too (if I ever meet her)

No, but it will incorporate more fun foods

I will still stay high protein and slow burning carbs and EFA's but allow myself more freedom

Posted by: naturaltan

There are a few threads floating around about Vegas ... most of us will be there for the Oct. 19 week.

Posted by: Kimbro11

Hi Kim! Welcome to IM!!!

If I were you, I'd made the adjustments to my diet now while you are still young and the metabolism is still going strong. It'll be easier for you to adjust you way of eating now then 10 years from now when you might have been wishing you had... yes I know this from personal experience :-(

Jodi knows her stuff so do listen and J'Bo has this fedish for getting on stage in a bikini and being judged for it

so she's good to listen to, as well

My journal is always open so pop in sometime!

I think I decided Im confused as to what my diet should look like. Some people are telling me that Im all good because im so active, others are telling me to cut out the carbohydrates in my diet, and Im also confused about my cardio and excercise. I have a posting in everyday cardio that got my confused, so i guess for now Im just going to lurk and see if any light opens up for me. So far it seems like everyone on here is to body build, and I guess, Im trying to look like a marathon runner. So far Im not sure how I can do that here if no on else shares my goals. There is still a lot of great information on here anyway, so Ill stick around and learn what I can.

Posted by: Jodi

Kim, your so cute but you do realize this IS a BodyBuilding Website right?

Hey girl!!

Don't even worry ~ DO What works for you~ thats what I do!! I eat a LOT of Luna bars.. and I also Like The Zone bars..they are awesome.. and nobody else really approves of that.. but Most days..they are my breakfast along with an apple!!

I am so jealous of how much cardio you get to do!! I Love to go jogging outside.. usually do 4-5 miles a few times a week.. but I wish I had time to Rollerblade more, and everything else you do~

Have a great weekend!

Posted by: Kimbro11

Thanx Stacey - I just realized that I love to rollerblade in the rain!

LOL

Jodi~ I know that this is a bodybuilders website, but I thought that maybe people on here would know about ALL types of variations of nutrition. If I ever wanted to lose weight, I dont want people to necessaruly assume I want to become big and buff and become a bodybuilder. I just want different ideas that suit my lifestyle and my needs to lose weight (or tone up, in my case).. maybe it would be alittle bit more cario, or a different level of intensity on training, or something else.

When I was younger I was a gymnast. I was really really gung-ho about gymnastics. My trainer when she want us to perform at our best and get rid of excess water or anything that could be weighing us down, she fed us carrot sticks and raisins 2 hours before we competed. That wouldnt be a lifestyle change, but it gave us undertsnading of what helped us perfoem better.

And that was only seasonal. I guess I was hoping for more insight on how to get to my goals rather than people trying to convince me to change my ways a bit. (im not angry, just hoping someone will say hey, I have the same goals as you too) LOL.. Besides a body builders website I think would have more information about foods rather than a runners website.

Posted by: Jodi

I can help you but you didn't want me to.

There is a ton of information about proper nutrition for losing fat, maintaining or bulking.

Besides I'm not big and bulky, I only wear a size 2

Posted by: Stacey

Kim~ Jodi can definatley help you out!!
I lift weights also -- I have for 7 or more years now.. and I'm very serious about it.. and I'm a size 1 and 2 ..depends on what it is.. by far I'm not bulky~ just like Jodi!! And a lot of other girls here!

awwww Rollerblading in the rain! FuN! don't slip!!!

Posted by: heavyweight1987

whats something i could do too bulk up fast!!!
