Back from a 2 week mess-actually about a 1 month slack and am getting on track as of today! Doing TP's carb cycling, again, but am cutting out my cheats.... Somebody please remember that! I NEED to lose some fat or I wont be wearing any shorts or skirts for summer! I plan continue with my weights heavy, and am gonna try the following split.

Weight training 5X a week
Chest
Back
Bis & Tris
Legs
Shoulders

Cardio will be quite a bit to start, just for the first few weeks(cause i got a little fat!), then about 30 mins 3-4 times a week. Took measurements this am, and weighed in

and even took 4 before pics. Wow, what a shocker!

Will post that all eventually! Good luck to me!

Too much cardio sacrafices muscle. Its not worth it Jill. You know this. Additional cardio is NOT going to make you burn extra fat.

Posted by: atherjen

I agree with Jodi, you dont need excess cardio hun! diet is 90% of the game, let cardio be your aid when you hit plateaus.
Best of luck

I can see where a little hounding will benefit me as well ... shorts, skirts, summer. I'll be watching you as well.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks all!

K, I'll go easy on the cardio once again...Im not complaining either!!!

Posted by: Jill

Is squash ok to eat on no carb days? Summer=1 carb, 1oz. Spaghetti=10 carbs, 1 cup. Any suggestions?

Posted by: Jodi

Summer squash is fine. Spaghetti squash and butternut squash should be saved for carb days.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Jodi! I found a recipe for summer squash: Grate the squash, then mix in an egg white as a binder. Make into patties. Fry in a pam sprayed pan. Hashbrowns!

Posted by: tucker01

I just ate and the sound of that made me hungry. Dammit

Jill, the girl in the pink is going to this camp in Calgary. The missus is starting to feel a little outgunned. I told her it's the perfect opportunity to get to know these girls and pick their brains.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Stacey! Girls, Im planning to try them for dinner tonight, Im excited! Hey NT, the girls in the pic look great, its a real motivator let me tell you! Tell the misses to just be herself, its whats inside that counts! Oh, and pick their brains is right!!! Hey, anyone know any good salmon recipes? I ate TONNES of salmon on holidays, and I bought some filets, just wondering any tips on cooking it? Im planning to pan fry it with pam, spices and lime juice. ummmm

Posted by: Stacey

Posted by: naturaltan

I guess that lady is the cheerleading coach at GM. Funny how my daughter was discussing cheerleading and how she'll get to meet the coach of the GM squad tomorrow. She'll be excited to hear the news tonight.

My new fav foods: Grilled salmon and steamed broccoli! Just bought a steamer. Oh, tried the pancakes but with zucchini, gross!

Posted by: atherjen

I love salmon and broccoli!! try grilling the broccoli too! I LOVE it, ate a boatload of it lastnite. haha

and JAM?? :o tooooo much sugars hun!

Posted by: Jill

The jam I buy doesnt have any added sugar-its sweetened with sucralose. It has 5 carbs per TBS. You think that ok AJ? Thanks for stopping buy too!!! Its great motivation...Maybe someday I'll have abs like you!

Posted by: Jodi

I think its fine providing its used only once a day and you are counting the carbs. I actually just bought some myself today

BTW - your carbs don't look high enough for a low carb day. 1GxBW remember

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Jodi! What do you use sf jam with? Oh, I usually only eat it once MAYBE twice a day, and I do count the carbs! I read the other day about mixing whey (vanilla) with water, then using it like milk with fiber one. Anyone ever try it? Ive mixed fiber 1 with water, and its kinda icky!

Posted by: Jodi

Its smuckers preserves. Its lots of sugar alcohols so try to just stick with once a day

I put it on my ww toast

Posted by: Leslie

I just bought the low carb bread tonight

I already have the jam in the fridge

But I couldnt get the low carb milk. Seems we dont have it around here

Posted by: atherjen

Quote:

that was my suggestion

Its YUMMY

Posted by: Jill

Didnt really like it AJ

Atleast not at 5:30 am! I ate the fiber 1, then downed the water and protein! Where can I find low carb milk / bread? Needing some advice. Havent done legs in almost 3 weeks. Did them this am. Lost some strength, but I have decided that I dont want my legs to get any bigger, (they are big enough) so I kept my reps between 12-15, with a good amount of weight. Any tips?

Posted by: Jodi

Yes, lower your reps to 4-6 and increase your weight. This will build strength but not growth.

I agree.. heavier with those reps doesnt build muscle as most think.. and you get to feel mighty strong going heavier!

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Jodi and AJ! Will building strenght benefit me though? Also, Is it ok to add 2TBS lt cream (6F) with 1 or sometimes 2 P shakes a day? Way better mixed with water then skim milk-(the sugars.) I found a new protein flavored strawberry and banana and mixed it with 2 TBS lt cream and water and it was so yummy!

Posted by: atherjen

Of course building strength will benefit you!! Think you'll be able to do more things for yourself in everyday life, lifting heavier things, etc. and not to mention it feel great to pump heavy iron in the gym!

strawbery and banana.. sounds good! Id only go with the cream in one of those shakes if you can. hmm try adding some natural peanut butter to one!

Posted by: Jill

BTW, I made a mistake, the cream has 3G of fat for 2 TBS not 6! Ooops!

Posted by: Jill

Wednesday, January 21 - HIGH CARB DAY

Meal 1 - Preworkout: Fiber one, Protein, 1/2 apple
Meal 2 - Postworkout: Protein Pancake, 1/2 apple, 1TBS sf jam, 2 fishies
Meal 3 - Protein, 2TBS lt cream, 2 fishies
Meal 4 - 5 oz extra lean beef mixed with about 1-2 TBS cottage cheese, approx TBS oats, steamed zuk, brocolli,
Meal 5 - Protein Pancake, 1 asian pear, 1 TBS sf jam
Meal 6 - 4 oz chicken breast, 3 baby pickles, few radishes, sf jello!

WORKOUT:

20 min warm up cardio, legs, little weak though!

Posted by: atherjen

hmm if your leg workout was weak then cut back the warm up cardio to only 5 mins. 20 minutes would really take too much out of my leg workout.
diets not bad but still too much whey protein. try and get in more whole food choices

Posted by: Jill

I think I was weak also cause I havent done legs in almost 3 weeks, the cardio may have contributed too. I dont usually do cardio on leg days. I did eat alot of whey today hey? Thats not usual for me. OH, my p pancakes only have about 15g of whey, the rest is cottage cheese and an egg white! You should try them.

Posted by: Jill

Chocolate protein in water AJ?

Posted by: atherjen

Ahhh ok, I wasnt sure how much whey was in your pancakes. Ive made prot pancakes before., YUMM!

OHH YES choc prot in water!!! crushed ice and water in the blender. dammnn good. its like a treat to me!

hehe

Posted by: tucker01

Hey J,

20 min w/u cardio is a bit much. If you are going to do cardio when you lift weights save until after you are done weights.

Posted by: Jodi

Quote:

How bout the last 2 meals from yesterday?

Posted by: naturaltan

any cheats since you've gone guns ablazin' at the meals and weights?

Posted by: Jill

Stacey, you are a real doll! Jodi-Waiting for one more meal, then Ill update my post!-no carbs...uhhhhh

AJ, my hammies are so friggin sore Ive been walking like an idiot up/down the stairs in my house.

You should start a journal over here at IM! Oh, I tried cooking my chicken in a pan with pam and spices, it was supper yummy! And NT, Im proud cause I havent cheated, and dont plan to. I have been craving sweets and getting major headaches these last few days. Maybe its cause my body was used to sugar for 2-3 weeks straight. Who knows!

Posted by: naturaltan

Excellent to hear. That vacation has seemed to turn you around 180 degrees. Keep it up and sooner than you think, the cravings won't be as often or as strong - just keep in mind that it does a body and mind good to have a cheat every now and then.

I hear ya hun.. Im SOO sore today. did quads/calves 2 days ago and hams yestarday. wozzers.

glad you enjoy the chicken! see healthy food can be VERY enjoyable, just have to find the right ways to suit your tastebuds!

Im sure the headaches are just from the sugar withdrawl. they'lll surpass. but as NT said, if you slip up occasionally dont be hard on yourself, we are only human!

Posted by: Jill

K-Just bought the best tasting protein Ive EVER had, for real! (AND Ive tried many different flavors and brands!) PVL Gourmet Whey in strawberry banana flavor. Mixed it with water, ice, 2TBS lt cream and it was soooooooo yummy! I cant wait to have another shake!

sounds good!

take some fish oil caps or healthy fats with it, and try to only have 2/day!

Posted by: tucker01

I have heard PVL is good.

I like optimum, but I don't really taste too much, I just down it.

Posted by: Jill

Jodi, I need your help pretty pleeze! Here is my split. Not sure about how I wanna cycle my days.
24-REST-supposed to be high carb.?
25-Chest

30-Shoulders
31-REST
1-Chest
2-Back
3-Legs
4-Bis & Tris
5-Shoulders
6-REST
7-Chest

I did this so I could specifically pick my rest days, in relation to my work schedule-I work shift work. Any advice would be great. Even on a training split too. Thanks!

That wasn't easy. Why in the world do you want to workout 5 days in a row? That is too taxing on the body and would suggest otherwise

I did this so I could specifically pick my rest days, in relation to my work schedule-I work shift work. Any advice would be great. Even on a training split too. Thanks!

Posted by: Jill

Thanks so much Jodi! I MAY not workout 5 day is a row there, its just a temp plan. You are the greatest!!!!!!!!!

What do you mean?

Posted by: Jill

Training certain body parts together, etc... If you have any suggestions.

Posted by: atherjen

well you could put bis with back and tri's with chest so that your not having so many workout days in a row.

Posted by: Jill

I find my tris are way to sore after my chest workouts. I used to do bis and back together, I might go back to doing that. I hate doing bis and tris the most! BTW, I miss your abs AJ! Do you like to be called AJ or Jen? NORMALLY, I dont workout 5 days in a row, It just depends on my 'work' schedule!

Posted by: atherjen

well then you could move tris with shoulders. how would that work? just make sure that shoulder day is not after chest day. I dont really like doing bi's/tris together either.
you can call me what you want babes.

and my ol belly?

I was getting sick of looking at it!

Posted by: Jill

Jodi, can I have low carb bread on a high or low carb day? My mom says she saw it at the grocery store, Im gonna go buy some, if its allowed!

Posted by: Jill

Thanks boss AJ! Ever since holidays, I am in love with salmon. its more of a treat 1-2 times a week cause its so bloody expensive here! My cravings are slowly getting better. Im also reading Dr.Phils weight loss book-trying to get in touch with my emotions in realtion to food. Sound real corney, I know, but it has already helped. Have a super day all, Im off to pump some iron at the gym. Crap, another 2-3 feet of snow, I hate winter already!

Posted by: atherjen

I hear ya hun, I live in a harbour city and its a bit less expensive here then elsewhere but I still find it to be too much money for me if I wanted to eat it daily. its sooo good tho!
and hey that book doesnt sound corny at all!! Glad to hear that your getting something out of it.

Im off to the gym in a bit as well. chest/tri days for me. I am SOOO not looking forward to the walk there. its -30F here today!!!

NO SOY!!!

Posted by: Jill

Brown rice chips-they are baked, tast kind like chips / rice cake-made with brown rice and brown rice flour. Bought them at the health food store-kind a treat I guess for me! Only had a handful-saved for high carb days too. What do ya think?

Posted by: hikerchick

Your diet looks so good today! You are loving your protein pancakes huh?

I haven't had those in awhile, I think I'm going to have to make some tomorrow - yum!

awesome to hear that the sugar cravings are going away!!

Posted by: Jill

Hey, my protein count some days is higher than my 1g per pound of BW, do you think thats ok Jodi and AJ? I seem to recall TP saying thats ok-especially if you are not satisfied at a meal.

Yes! Be sure to count the fat. Could be used during one of your higher fat meals. Especially on No carb day.

Posted by: Jill

Oats and PP. Havent had it in months AJ. (hooked on p pancakes) Forgot how good it tasted! Yum! I suffered yesterday. I feel for ya. Thanks Jodi. I ate TONNES of gaucamole in mexico, i might make some for sat-and use it as my high fat meal. Yesterday my last meal had around 20g of fat-too much do you ladies think? And i always foget to count the protein in the peanut butter. Big prob? Thanks beauties, you 2 are the best!

Posted by: Jodi

Yes, that is WAY too much fat. You should only be taking in 30-40G a day and that includes the fish oil.

here you go Sapp! (I know Im not Jill or Jodi!

)

1 c small-curd cottage cheese
1 egg lightly beaten
1/4 c tomato paste
2 T. chopped onion
1 T Spicy Mustard
1/2 C Oats
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 lb lean ground beef or turkey or 1/2 beef 1/2 turkey
1/3 c grated Parmesan cheese

In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Add beef and mix well.
Press into an ungreased 8 inch square baking pan. Bake at 350 for 20
minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until
meat is no longer pink. Drain; let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Posted by: Jill

You can really adjust the recipe to your tastes Saph. I only put 1/4 cup of oats, no parmesan cheese, and other spices to taste. I actually bake mine for closer to an hour, and drain a few times while cooking. I like the top quite brown, maybe I just over cook it a bit! This stuff for really is sooooo yummy! Its hard to just eat 4-5 oz when i really would like to be eating 10! P.s thanks for the encouragement Saph and AJ!

Posted by: atherjen

MMm I think that I could eat the entire loaf of it EASy!

I was born with a huge appetite. Mom used to worry about it. haha
gosh, Jill you have got to bake me one of thsoe and send it express!

mmm all brown on the top, just the way I would like it!

How you doing today?

Posted by: Jill

Great, today is my high carb day! Except, i totally pigged out at meal 2, so Im gonna be more careful for the rest of the day. Its cause I tried that low carb bread-ya its low carb but 3 slices didnt come close to filling me up! (I should have stuck to my oats

)So I ate fiber one and pb! If i could mail you a meatloaf, I would for sure honey, you have been a huge help and a great inspiration to me! Low carb day for you?

Posted by: Sapphire

Yum!! Thanks Atherjen and Jill!! I am definitely gonna make that meatloaf, probably without the parmesan cheese though.

Thanks for the recipe!!

Hiker-Just tried the BB protein last night-not quite sure if i like it yet. (A little artifical tasting) Im gonna have a few more shakes then decide if i wanna keep it or exchange it for plain ol' vanilla. Try yours yet? Oh, and as for the sf jello, I luv it! The tropical flavor is my fav-its green when you make it.

AJ-Havent had pasta in months! I cooked a chicken breast, put that over the pasta, then a little tomato sauce.

It was real yummy! I ate a tonne of carbs at that meal-5 hours later I was still not hungry, I had to make myself eat!

Hiya Jill,
How do you make your protein pancakes? I may have asked you that before but...

I make mine with 5 whites, 1 T. ground flax, and a scoop of vanilla whey. They're a yummy no carb option that whey, but I would like to see some other options.
Thanks!

Posted by: atherjen

Looking good Jill!! Im so glad that you decided to post your workouts as well! defintly a good thing to be keeping track of I think!

do you do that cardio before or after training?

Posted by: Jill

Hiker-I use 1/2-3/4 cup oats,-blended till powdery, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 10g whey, 2 egg whites, water, splenda, and vanilla. (blend in blender)I love them! I used to use flax on no carb days but they tasted so gross compared to the oat ones!

AJ-I do cardio AFTER training, as Jodi had reccomended. I used to always do it before, now that Ive switched it up im getting used to it after. Sometimes I do it before weights, but vary rarely. Hey, any input of yours is greatly appreciated!

Mmm I kinda miss my protein pancakes now. been months.

ok good woman, I just wanted to be sure that you werent doing cardio prior to lifting!

Posted by: Jill

Thanks AJ!

BTW-quick question if you dont mind. I plan to do legs tomorrow, and Im not really sure of the rep range I SHOULD be going with. (lately ive been doing the 8-12)I dont think i want my legs to get any thicker, but I would like to develop more definition-if that means I must add some size, Ill be ok with that. Any suggestions?

if hypertrophy is not your goal (gaining more muscle) then stick to a lower rep range of 6-8 instead. so that means nice and heavy!

Posted by: Jill

6-8 nice and heavy tomorrow. Looking forward to the gym tomorrow....

Thanks again!

LoL--Girl I couln't have bought them that far in advance!!!!!

Stay away from those chocolate eggs!!!!

At first, yup, cause I was used to the routine of cardio THEN weights, about 5 or so years. Now I'm used to it, just took a few weeks though.

Posted by: Stacey

Hey~ Yeah I thought it would take me a few weeks of getting use to!!

I use to split mine up--cardio before And After.

Hi Jill!!
I'm with Stacey, I don't know how you could buy chocolates this far in advance and not eat them - that is some serious will power!

They are sitting on my coffee table right now, very tempting I might add. I also have these really yummy dutch cookies in my deep freezer. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I may have to get my beau to hide the friggin chocolates. What the hell was I thinking!

Im gonna go eat a protein pancake, maybe that'll curb my sugar cravings right now.

Posted by: atherjen

damn woman... are you insane?? buying goodies to tempt you more?! crazzzyyyy.

Thanks! I use miracle whip-not 'mayo' or the light/low fat suff, too much sugar. 2 TBS have 10g of fat, I use that as my fat source for that meal. Think its ok? Its only about 1-2 times a week.

Posted by: Jill

Legs a little sore from yesterday, MADE myself do 25 mins of the crosstrainer, ahhhhh the pain. No carb days are not fun. ALso did bis and tris, feeling cranky right about now after eating egg whites, when I would rather be eating a p pancake with sf jam.

Posted by: atherjen

you trained on a NO carb day? damnnn woman!! I just did cardio today(no carb) .. I could NEVER lift without carbs in me!

and trust me.. that cardio that day after legs is the BEST for recovery.. tomarrow you will be veryyy thankful!

Posted by: greekblondechic

i never thought cardio after legs to be a good thing

good to know

Posted by: Jenny

Hey Jill

Just wanted to peek in and say Hi! You are doing so well sweetie, I'm proud of you

Posted by: Jill

Hey Jenny! To all you readers, im gonna try to lower my carbs a bit on my low carb days, a little less than 1g per pound, in which TP recommends. Should I go from 3/4 cup of dry oats to 1/2 cup? Or 1/2 an apple instead of 1 apple? (or a 1/4 cup of berries) Just trying to speed things up a little. Any advice would be great! (oats are pretty much my fav carb!)

Posted by: Jodi

Cut your fruit down to 1/2 piece of small fruit. Don't touch the complex carbs.

Posted by: Jill

Thanks Jodi, I miss you imput here! You are sooooo welcome anytime! 1/2 a cup of blueberries or mixed berries be okay?

Posted by: M.J.H.

Damn, low-carb day looks tough Jill. I dont know how you do it! I could not have a low-carb day for any amount of money I dont think. I tried carb / calorie cycling, and I just love food too damn much to make sacrifices.

Keep up the hard work!
