Jill, I didn't have carbs only veggies in the 5 o'clock meal. I still have one meal to have.. I might have some cottage cheese with fish capsules or can sardines and some veggies..

I didn't train today.. I only train Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays... I'll have some good carbs in my PWO meal tomorrow: maybe 2/3 cooked brown rice and 5 oz. lean tenderloin pork

I actually had a six'th meal!!



Posted by: Jill

I tried the 5 meal thing before-but felt like I was starving before every meal. My beau would get upset cause before every meal, Id be like "Im sooooooooo hungry". He thought I wasnt eating enough to be hungy all the time. So I added a 6th meal. (I made each meal a little smaller though) I am so much more staisfied now. Very rarely hungry to! + It keeps my metabolisim going!



Posted by: atherjen

I couldnt eat 5 meals. Im starving even with 6

if your hungry Sara, eat



Posted by: ncgirl21

Eat away girl!! Food is your friend (okay, that sounded kinda corny!!) Journal looks good though. Good lifts. Glad you got that sixth meal in!



Posted by: sara

I used to eat six meals everyday.. but after the horrible binges.. I kinda got scared to eat 6'th meal.. I'll try to have 6 meals almost everyday!



Posted by: sara

The Mints I had were Velamints!
www.velamints.com



Posted by: Jill

I think 6 meals would help control the binges. You wouldnt be hungry-which I think usually can lead to a binge. 6 meals would keep you more satisfied all day long. It has deff helped me.

I went and bought some unsweetend soy milk, bocca burgers, veggies cheese (soy cheese) for lent..

You're supposed to cheat at weddings!!!

BTW thats NOTHING compared to how bad I cheated at the last wedding I went to..and afterwards I binged on chocolates @ my friends house, then I ate badly for two days afterwards.

As long as you keep diet clean, the cheat was just a metabolism boost

Since last Tuesday I started to eat clean again and my cals were low..so I guess this cheat meal was ok for only today.. but on the other hand, I was cheating like everyday a week ago..so I'm still not sure if this cheat meal today was good or bad for my metabolism... any idea?



Posted by: greekblondechic

It cant be bad for your metabolism to eat. and whats done is done anyway so dont worry about it

I was dieting w/o cheats for 4 weeks and It didnt do me ANY good

What you mean it didn't do you any good?



Posted by: greekblondechic

I didnt get leaner, I was always tired and cold..felt like my body was slowing down



Posted by: sara

did you eat carbs?



Posted by: greekblondechic

too low, only 1/2c oats per day plus whatevers in veggies



Posted by: sara

When I was injured over the summer and couldn't walk for 8 weeks.. I did
20 P 20C 10F
20P 15C 10F
20P 20 C 10F
20P 15C 10F
20P 5C 10F
25P 0 C 15 F

and I lost 10 lbs.



Posted by: sara

I'm so full! I don't think I can fit in my last 4'th meal today



Posted by: greekblondechic

oh no, thats another mistake I always made, a lot of times I only ate 3 or 4 meals instead of 5..big no no

its ok once in a while if ur tummy hurts, but try not to make it a regular habit honey!



Posted by: sara

I won't actually I won't cheat for the next 50 days!!!



Posted by: sara

I'm just going to have hard time planing meals without using animal product food..



Posted by: sara

Here is the plan for the next 50 days, No Nuts at all!



Posted by: sara

I'm starving and thirsty.. I'm fasting till 12:00 pm today (only today because it's first day of lent)



Posted by: greekblondechic

tuna is ok for lent?



Posted by: sara

yes, fish is ok



Posted by: greekblondechic

i think for me only shellfish are allowed not sure



Posted by: sara

I've been noticing everytime I eat (sweets, icecream, cake) the next day my face would look like a balloon

Why is that?



Posted by: greekblondechic

hm, like i mentionned somewhere else i think it has to do w/ shellfish not having brains i will check

ok nvm my mom says its cuz shellfish dont have blood
but if u have nothing else to eat, tuna still better than meat



Posted by: sara

exactly!



Posted by: sara

I'm really dissapointed with my weight, shape and size



Posted by: greekblondechic

same here girlie, but dont go doing anything counterproductive like not eating enough



Posted by: atherjen

cheer up Sara! dont get down on yourself. remember that progress takes time! stick to thing and it'll all pay off. patience and hard work is the key!



Posted by: sara

I know patience is the key.. I'm so stressed about my meals. not sure what to follow (meal plans) so I can have a good shape



Posted by: atherjen

what happened with the plan that J'Bo gave you? are you sticking to that?



Posted by: sara

It didn't have a P/F/C ratio



Posted by: sara

I was thinking of going back to the plan that I got from DP and w8 when I was injured (just for a while till I see some changes in my body)



Posted by: Jodi

I knew that wasn't gonna last



Posted by: sara

Jodi, I'm still looking for a good plan for the next 50 days of lent. and J'Bo's plan was great, it just didn't have a P/F/C ratio for my limited "lent food"
After lent, I would go back to J'Bo's plan.. it sounds fair



Posted by: nikegurl

Hey Sara, Why would the DPw8 plan help you with Lent? Just looks like they had you on lower carbs (75g/day)

Isn't your protein choices the Lent issue? Not sure how lower carbs helps with Lent?



Posted by: sara

It worked for me before, I want to try it again for a week or so, and then get ready for a change to a good new plan



Posted by: greekblondechic

but if you lower your carbs what will you eat sweetie? you have barely any protein choices! veggies aint enough to hold you over
you should reconsider

i dunno if anybody recommended rice and beans, that is a complete protein, non animal, and you can use brown rice



Posted by: Jill

Sara, are you going down that path again? I think you should have high-higher protein, moderate carbs and fat. (too low of fats/carbs cause you to binge, right) Isnt that what youve been doing? Whats the problem now?????

P A T I T I E N C E Darling. Thats when you will see results.



Posted by: Jodi

It doesn't seem like anyone on this board has any fucking patience lateley.

I'm going to try to eat something before bed.. maybe some soy milk if I'm hungry



Posted by: greekblondechic

bedtime meal should include a little fat so it digests slower



Posted by: sara

I know I know the soy has 3 grams of fat .. I didn't drink it anyways

Posted by: atherjen

workouts look great Sara! keep it up!

and yah those tri extensions will be hard on a ball because you have to stabilize yourself at the same time!



Posted by: sara

Thanx AJ
Actually today I didn't do the high weight that I usually do on my second set of seated dip machine.. I usually go up to 67.5 not today though



Posted by: sara

Hopefuly tomorrow I might go to the gym and do some cardio or any workout!



Posted by: sara

What you guys recommend to eat before an early morning cardio and ABS workout?



Posted by: Jill

I always have whey and water! And fishies!



Posted by: sara

How much protein and fat in that meal?
I was thinking of having a cup coffee, 1/2 grapefruit and 1 Bocca burger that has 18P, 1.5 and 3 net carbs...



Posted by: Jill

I usually aim for 25-30g per meal. Thats just me though. If I have a carb day, I usually have 40g of carbs before my workout.



Posted by: JLB001

I never eat before my am cardio. I wake up, put my full body armour of sweat my ass off clothes on, take my thermos, throw a hat on my head after brushing teethies and going tinkle, then out the door.



Posted by: Jill

I used to too. I rarely 'just do cardio'. My cardio is usually done after weight training anywase. I got in shit from the boss a while ago for not eating before I go workout. Now I always do. You always here do it on an empty stomach, then people are like you should have something in your tummy. I guess its just what works for that person!



Posted by: greekblondechic

Personally, when I did empty stomach cardio I loved it cuz I had nothing in there to make me nauseous, so I may go back to it



Posted by: sara

I want to eat something before my morning cardio so I won't lose the mini muscles I have now and at the same time I want to lose the BF.. or I can just do the old plan that I started with last year, is no cardio and do no carb diet and carb up twice a week



Posted by: sara

When I had the Sugar-free jello today.. I didn't enjoy it, I'm not craving for junk food anymore I can feel the change of my cravings!!!



Posted by: greekblondechic

yay! ice cream today made me sick



Posted by: sara

Just looking at junk food makes me sick now, jus like the old days!



Posted by: myCATpowerlifts

i can relate
one time in 5th grade, they gave us some shit-nasty candy
i hated it, in fact i can still remember the horrible taste, it detered me from eating candy very often for a while

but i dont like candy anyway

i hate chocolate too



Posted by: sara

Now I can carb cycle or do carb-up plan twice a week with no worries!

How come you only count fat and protein, not carbs? Its not bad or anything, Im just wondering!



Posted by: sara

I used to count the carbs, counting the carbs in the egg whites, cheese, any simple thing... now I know I'm watching my carbs, but not a carb freak like I used to.. if I count the carbs I know I'm going to be very paranoid about everything I eat



Posted by: Jill

Good girl. Do what works for you. I was a today, carbs at 4 meals!!!! All oaties!

Sara...take how many hours you are up in the day and divide the number of meals by that, that way you can use the number you get as to how far to space meals apart. We keep ours about 3 hours apart eatting 5 meals a day.

I think chicken liver sounds yucky hehe sorry



Posted by: sara

Alot of people here don't like liver.. I love cooking liver with onions, garlic and some black pepper! Yummy



Posted by: Jill

I agree with greeky!



Posted by: sara

Thats fine



Posted by: heeholler

Liver is not yucky! Just try chicken livers, or beef livers. They are good! Well, at least I like liver!



Posted by: sara

Someone else likes liver here? wow



Posted by: atherjen

hmmmm I think you should ditch the low carb bread and get in some oats or something of that sort. and move those lentils somewheres else rather than post workout. get some brown rice or oatmeal in there after training.
and liver??? I tried it once, yucky. but hey if you like by all means eat, I eat weird combos too according to Jill. lol

workouts are looking good too girl!

The low carb bread I'm using now it has flaxseed in it, I'll post the ingrid later on.. but when I'm done with the bag, I won't buy any.. or should I just stop using it now?
What's wrong with lentils? they low in GI lower than brown-rice (but I was planing on having brownrice as pwo, my mom didn't cook it last night, so I was stuck with lentils

and liver??? I tried it once, yucky. but hey if you like by all means eat, I eat weird combos too according to Jill. lol

These rock! I always get the craziest burns doing lat raises on a flat / incline bench!!!



Posted by: sara

opps! I meant the second set was 12.5 lbs not 17.5



Posted by: atherjen

well you could finsih the bag now. no need in letting it go to waste! but then after try for something more complex, rather than low carb.
as for the lentils, they are full of fiber, post workout it would be best to keep it on the low a lil. as most of the carbs in lentils are fiber.



Posted by: sara

I got it
trust me I'm not trying to avoid oats and brown rice.. you don't know how much I love oats, eggs w. cinnamon
after I'm done with the low carb bread, I will replace it with whole-wheat bread..



Posted by: atherjen

hmmmm I would honestly say ditch the bread altogether. if you love oats and eggs so much, eat those



Posted by: sara

ok

Posted by: sara

I'm going to look for the carb count down milk... buy it to replace the cottage cheese somtimes



Posted by: greekblondechic

good idea hehe

actually maybe you can also use a little bit of it in place of that non dairy powdered stuff, i bet thats not that healthy...trans fats, etc (even the fat free stuff has trans fats! )



Posted by: sara

I know the non dairy is not good for you.. if you look at it this way, everything is not good for you.. I only use little amt. of the non dairy powder



Posted by: greekblondechic

I know silly, I'm not uptight like that, but I was just sayin you can possibly use it as a substitute and u'll get a tiny bit more protein in too



Posted by: sara

You right! it's fat free, and I can drink the tea/cocoa/coffee anytime doesn't have to be the time of my meals and I'm only getting little protein and no fat..



Posted by: greekblondechic

try it



Posted by: sara

I gotta do my english report now.. its really tough



Posted by: JLB001

Sara...I was reading in Greeky's journal about the dr saying you have protein in your urine. I have had chronic hemtoria for years. Women who are pyshically active as in lifting weights, running etc are more apt to have it present there. Be sure to have the proper tests done to be sure that it is nothing serious. They have the one where they do the dye into a vein, then Xray you to make sure things are doing what they are suppose to be doing. They also have what is called a cystopicy (my spelling sucks tonight) and then finally an ultra sound. I've been through every one of them, couldn't find anything wrong. Just something that some ladies just have.



Posted by: sara

Thanx hun I did check with my doctor for the protein problem, I did a 24 hr. uraine test and he found little amt of protein, I did ultra sound for my kidney like 5 years ago and everything was normal.. now I just check my uraine every six months.. they did some blood test and nothing was there



Posted by: JLB001

They'll probably never find anything. Mine never did. I use to have to go once a yr to have it checked, then went to a urologist that said I was fine and not to worry about. Can you believe that when I had to do a dru test for work, I had to get written authorization from my dr saying I wasn't gonna kick the bucket on them. I about died laughing.
