The BEST That I Can Do

Yeah, that's what I mean. Try it for a week and see how you feel, then make an adjustment if you feel you need to.


Posted by: nikegurl

cool. i know i can ditch 40 grams of carbs next week and not increase anything. could be as my carbs get down to 80 g (from 200 g) that i might want to boost the fat a bit...but i know i won't need to for awhile.

thanks so much.


Posted by: Jodi

Ummmm...yeah, at 80G carbs you will def. need to increase the fat.

Hey Nike

Just thought i'd stop in and say stick with your diet.

I'm not sure what plan you're following, but i was having the same issue with excess carbs when i started TP's carb cycling diet. It felt like i was eating way too many to actually drop my bf... but after giving it a grudging try for a couple weeks, it worked just like everyone told me it would.


Posted by: nikegurl

thanks Monolith! i'm liking the carbs and pretty much over my insane fear of eating them...it's just the amount that had me a little worried. but i'm due to drop 'em a bit next week so i'm going to stick with things as planned.

guess i just wanted the extra reassurance yesterday.


Posted by: nikegurl

yesterday's leg workout was a rough one....and a bad one too.

i really don't know what the problem was. it just felt bad. i'm not injured and i'm not sick but everything was just way off. next week has to be better.

SQUATS
10 x 75
10 x 85
7 x 95
bailed early....thought leg press would be better. i was wrong

LEG PRESS
10 x 90
8 x 180
bailed again....decided to do tons of leg extensions to save the workout (sort of)

LEG EXTENSIONS - Flex Machine
10 x 50
9 x 60
6 x 70

LEG EXTENSIONS - Life Fitness Machine
10 x 75
8 x 75
8 x 75

SEATED CALF RAISES
26 x 45
22 x 45
19 x 45
18 x 45
18 x 45

Then I felt guilty....so I did a set of hack squats kind of trying out the machine for next leg day.

HACKS
10 x 50

Oddly enough - after this terrible workout my legs felt wobbly and wiped out (but they shouldn't have)


Posted by: nikegurl

legs again tonight. i have no good excuse for slacking in my journal. but i haven't missed any workouts, haven't cheated on my diet - but did miss a couple of meals this weekend.

i'm back to a 5 day split again. i gave the 4 day a good shot but i just prefer 5 so i'm back to that.

i'll post my workouts from this week to catch things up a bit.
i'm starting to feel a little stronger again so that's cool. not back to where i've been before but i will be...and then i'll pass that point.

What kind of diet plan are ya doing NG?


Posted by: nikegurl

Hi Jill.

I dropped a carb meal out this week and I wanted my protein a tad higher so I trimmed the fat a tiny bit from what i had planned in order to get extra calories to "use" on protein.

The numbers look like this now:

5 meals
protein: 145 grams
fat: 43 grams
carbs: 160 grams
calories: 1607

i'll go with these for 2 weeks. then i'll drop another carb meal so my protein stays the same and my carbs go down to 120 and do that for 2 weeks etc.

I feel the same way. So I keep it lighter too. If I go too heavy then the form slacks even though I can still manage the weight. Hope that makes sense


Posted by: nikegurl

Exactly! And the form slacking is sort of slight. I don't know if someone watching me could even tell....but I can tell that I'm not isolating my chest as much so I keep it light.

I didn't cut my calories this week Jodi...1610 feels good. Maybe in another week or two I will....but I wasn't ready to go any lower. (I'd said I would keep everything the same and just drop 40 grams carbs but I lied a little)

Looks great girl!! only make those changes when u feel u need too!

Posted by: atherjen

Great workouts girl!!

hows diet going along?


Posted by: nikegurl

it's good. i dropped 1 carb meal but my calories aren't really lower (i nudged the fat up a bit). i'm right around 1600/day and i don't want to go much lower...i think i can lose fat if i stick with it (that means not cheating) instead of lowering it more and then losing my mind and eating ice cream or something like that.

i'll post todays meals soon. thanks for checking on me!

Looking good NG

How the plan working for you? Fat loss?


Posted by: nikegurl

yesterday was leg day. i still hate it. but i've been doing pretty well. squats still scare me but i'm making sure i do them every week. i got 2 more reps on my last set than i got the week before so next week i'll go a bit heavier. i'm not super aggressive with these but i am using perfect ass to the ground form and at least i'm doing them....

i push myself a lot more w/leg presses because the don't scare me. i added weight to leg press and to stiff legged dead lifts last night. felt good.

Posted by: nikegurl

hi jodi...i'm feeling great in terms of strength/energy and not cheating so that's cool. there's been some fat loss but it's slow. i know that's the best way but sometimes i think it might be too slow....

i have to start using the tape measure so i can judge better.


Posted by: Jodi

Definately go to tape instead. Slow fat loss is very good and always best. As long as its going then don't fret


Posted by: nikegurl

things are looking better in the mirror but not drastically (yet)

i'll start measuring.

for the first time ever...i think i actually have hope for my legs. i doubt i can get 'em looking good 'til i'm squatting a LOT heavier than i am now but i'm making improvements and really pushing myself. so it's gonna be awhile...but i'm gonna get the legs i want.

ooooooohhhhhh cherry lemonade combo sounds REALLY good!

i've never tried the cherry.

i've had carribean cooler, apple, fuzzy navel and lemonade

i got very sick of the carribean cooler but i still like the other 3.

your cherry lemonade sounds really really delicious.


Posted by: Jenny

Sweetie, it makes me so happy to see you do this! Us Nike girls need to stick together ya know You are doing absolutely great, I knew you had it in you all along

Have a wonderful weekend!! I bet it's all sunny and wonderful there in LA The weather of Sweden is still cold


Posted by: aggies1ut

Mixing protein powders lol....I actually did that yesterday. Choc. and vanilla mix though. Wasn't too bad. Cherry lemonade sounds soooo much better though.


Posted by: draven

It is, I actually had it when I was eating a salad. lmao

Normally I just pound protein shakes, but the cherry/lemonade mix was a good one to just drink slow.

Caribean cooler is the only flavor I haven't tried. The Fuzzy Navel one tasted like orange peels to me though.


Posted by: aggies1ut

I've only tried Cherry, Apple, and Fuzzy Navel. Cherry was good. Apple was awesome, but for some reason, Fuzzy Navel wasn't that great to me.


Posted by: nikegurl

haven't logged since last week!

i've been having good workouts and no diet cheats to report 'cept for a little hunk of cheese i had sunday as my weekend treat.

next week was when i planned to drop another 40 g carbs from my daily intake (which will put me at about 120 g / day) i started sometimes dropping it this week. one day i'll have 120 grams, the next i'll have 160. so far so good...'cept i'm realizing no that i'm dropping some fat that i let myself get fatter than i realized.

Great workouts girl!!

ohh more diet changes! good luck with that! doesnt sound too bad!
a hunk of cheese was your "treat" soooooo dedicated!!


Posted by: nikegurl

i like cheese

the changes are so gradual that i don't mind...and even 120 g of carbs a day seems like a lot to me since i used to go below 30 g with only a carb up meal every 4th day. (so this is heaven)

thanks for visiting.


Posted by: PreMier

Im guessing that hunk of cheese was a 1Lb block?

When do we get new picts?


Posted by: nikegurl

nah - it wasn't more than 1/2 lb.

seriously - it was 2 oz. a definite treat but not insane.
i've been having 1 thing every sunday for sanity's sake. i may stop doing that soon though...i'm feeling like progress has slowed a bit. (entirely possible that i'm just being impatient though)

pics? not yet. but i'm getting there finally


Posted by: PreMier

What kind of cheese?

I like Brie(sp). Melted a bit and spread on some crackers


Posted by: nikegurl

monterey jack - nothing too fancy.

i decided no cheats/treats this sunday. bathing suit season's here (no time to waste on cheese)


Posted by: nikegurl

I hate squatting so much. And it's not 'cause I'm lazy or b/c they're hard.

When I first started training I got up to 185 for sets and reps. I have no memory of finding it scary. It was just hard work and I did it. (Obviously at my height/weight 185 isn't anything great but it's "respectable")

Then one day my training partner tore his quad and the muscle literally rolled up his leg like you had pulled up a window shade.

Squatting has never been the same for me since that day. Not even close.

I haven't skipped it in ages. I'm going really low and using great form. But my weights still suck (95 lbs)

It's b/c I'm scared. I admit it. No matter how much I psych myself up I don't take squats to failure or even close. I use the cage and set the safety bars but I just don't feel comfortable enough pushing like I do on everything else.

Last night I used 270lb on leg press and brought it all the way down. It was hard as hell and I KNOW they worked my legs more than squats b/c I push myself so much harder since I'm not afraid...

I've always believed squats are king. I think ya do need to do them to have great legs....

But I think me personally can build more muscle with leg presses, hacks, etc. only b/c I take those sets so much farther (and heavier)

I hate squats. More every week.


Posted by: atherjen

what works for one, may not the other. good to see that your able to find what does work for you, many dont!


Posted by: nikegurl

i still don't know.....i know how hard i'll push myself on leg presses and hacks etc. but i still don't know if it's 100% necessary to keep squatting and get the weight up in order to get my legs to grow.

i know i can kill my legs in the gym without squatting....but i don't know if i'm just looking for a way out of squatting.


Posted by: atherjen

well I will say that I certainly am a big advocate of squats...
however I wouldnt completly give them up. how about progressivly working up to a weight that you are comfortable but still feel that you are working hard with them?


Posted by: nikegurl

let me run this by you....i've told myself i MUST squat.

the good news is i haven't skipped it even once in a few months. also good is that i am squatting low and using great form.

now the bad. i'm STILL only going up to 95 lbs and i STILL feel like a bit of a wreck when i have to do it. (nervous...not lazy or tired, i swear)

i'm literally adding only 5 lbs total at a time and 95 scares me and feels heavy (which is ridiculous)

shouldn't i be able to squat more than i use for stiff legged deads?

i guess i just keep trying.


Posted by: myCATpowerlifts

do you have a spotter and if you do
do you have safety pins?
if both are correct, then theres no reason to be scared


Posted by: nikegurl

i have the safety pins and i use them. the spotter is another interesting point....i always used one in the past. i trust my current training partner completely.

BUT i cannot squat with anyone behind me now. wtf.

i really think i've gone insane as far as squats are concerned.

seriously though - i didn't even realize that it WAS fear i was feeling 'til recently. i just knew something was "off". now i know i'm chicken shit.

i still do 'em and i still try hard and i don't let me talk me out of them.

but i suck at 'em now. when i was squatting 185 no other lifts were any stronger than i am now. (many were lower) yet now i can only squat 95. makes no sense.

(and it makes me mad)


Posted by: PreMier

Its ok.. What you saw, would have been terrible for anyone to see. Its just subconciously imbeded in your mind, and it affects your performance. Just keep trying, and upping the weight little by little. I am sure you can overcome this.


Posted by: nikegurl

thanks PreMier. you're right - i'm gonna keep going. up until last night i was sure i'd beat it and thought i was doing ok.

not sure why....but i was off last night. i had planned to add weight from the previous week but it just wasn't going to happen.

one bad squat day really bugs me. but at least i killed myself on leg press after squats so it didn't turn into a bad leg day (just a bad squat day)

appreciate it.

Same here

I have been craving apples- go figure. I made Dave go to the store just for an apple last weekend


Posted by: nikegurl

cutting carbs back to 80 grams per day next week. keeping calories in low 1500s so i'll have the nudge the fat up a bit. (fishies!)

then maybe the following week i'll see if i can work out a carb cyle with jodi and/or TPs help to use during the new training program (TPs)




Posted by: sara

Hey girl, I'm so glad this diet is working good for you.. I tried it for 2 weeks, and high carbs w. low fat didn't work for me.. I'm never satisfied after I eat


Posted by: nikegurl

hi sara - my progress seems to be a little slower this way...but i feel good. actually i don't think anyone would really consider it a high carb plan. it's just high compared to the DPw8 plans we've used before.

i'll be honest though - i'm still not quite sure where my body stands with carbs. i feel better eating them. way better. BUT i think i dropped fat faster with lower carb higher fat plans of my past (i think?)

hopefully soon i'll know the answer. seems like 1 plan makes me feel better and is easier for me to live with (more carb, less fat) but the other types get me leaner (less carbs, more fat)

next week i'm starting a new training program (TP's) and i'd like to give his carb cycling a whirl at the same time.

i'll keep everyone posted.

Looking fwd to watching your progress....I understand what you mean about the mderate vs low carb approach in terms of how you feel...that's why you may get the best of both worlds out of cycling your carbs.

I have the same problem. I am still not sure what works best for my body that wont make me crazy!!!

hi greeky - i think the carb cycling is gonna be good. i tried it for a minute after coming off a VERY low carb plan and i just wouldn't eat enough carbs on high carb day and i'd try to throw in extra no carb days...

now that i don't fear carbs to the extent i used to i think i'll be ready to do the plan the way TP intented.

the hardest part's gonna be NOT counting carbs on high carb day. i love counting.

I think that you
ll do well on the CC girl. just NO counting on HIGH day!! eat eat eat and dont be afraid. think of it as helping the fat loss!
coupled with TP's new training plan you should do awesome!


Posted by: nikegurl

thanks atherjen. i think i'll do well with it now too. it was a rough transition for me after following extremely low carb plans but i'm ready now. i will remember how important the high carb days are and eat up the carbs. for some reason it seemed scary before. now i have faith and i'm ready.

and since i like to plan....i'm working out various meals to eat on no carb, high carb and low carb days 'cause i like it organized.
