I am starting a new journal. No "dieting", or any of that crap. Just eating healthy and smart and keeping up my weights and cardio. Everything in moderation.

Best of luck hunniebuns!

Hi Jill

Great diet and workouts girl! I like this journal - no diets just moderation


How is the weather today? We are supposed to hit the 60's today


Posted by: Stacey

Great Idea Jill!!!

Hope you have a great day & a great weekend!


Posted by: Jenny

Great new journal


Posted by: naturaltan

I think if you like what Donna has to say, it will fit in with the no diet theory.


Posted by: Jill

Thanks peeps. I havent felt so good as I have this last week in a while. Not restricting myself has done wonders. I feel great.

Ill check my email soon and let you know whats up with Donna NT.

Not yet Fitgirl-my plans are after work tonight-but i might have to work late.

NT-I just set up an appt with Brian and Donna, Im so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not for a few weeks though.


Posted by: naturaltan

Excellent. The missus says they're both very nice. I'll let you know my personal opinion next Friday.

I think you'll find their setup diet wise easy to deal with. They give you what I think are plenty of food options. I'm waiting to see exactly how big Donna really is. My daughter was pretty excited after she met her saying that she was a giant.


Posted by: Jill

Nt-do they weigh you or do measurements???

Do I ever feel like a wussy this leggie day Upped my rep range for 15-20, and I had to drop my weight around 1/2!!!! I felt a good burn with each exercise. I found lifting too heavy, I put on some "unwanted" leg mass. Felt it was time to switch things up. I used to lift light on my legs a year or so ago, and it did help keep my legs "not so bulky".


Posted by: greekblondechic

Same here girly. I feel like such a WIMP.. but I hate my muscular legs... so its wimpy workouts for me!


Posted by: Jill

Lets see how my booty feels tomorrow! Im going to have pb maraconie eggies in a while!! I also bought "coconut extract", good idea hey sis?


Posted by: greekblondechic

i LOVE my macaroon eggies, havent added coconut extract to them, but when you add extract u need extra sweetener!

I used to add it to diet pepsi to make coconut diet pepsi im sick!


Posted by: Jill

That is funny greeky!


Posted by: myCATpowerlifts

you 2 have opposite problem than me

my legs are sucky sucky

my dad has a large upper body and scrawny legs...so i know i get it from him

and they are so weak

Oh well im working on it


Posted by: jstar

at first I thought that said macaroni eggs

Jill - I tried one legged deadlifts yesterday and my booty is so sore today. That is definitely the best glute exercise I have ever done. (My friends showed it to me).


Posted by: jstar

Oh, I wanted to ask you: who is Donna? Are you getting a trainer?

I am so excited for you!


Posted by: Jill

Hey peeps! I came into work this am and one of my co-workers had some flowers for me, with a super sweet note attached. She is really a jem. It totally made my day!!!

Jstar, Donna is a personal trainer, she is probably the top in Alberta. Im just going for 1 consultation, for some advice on my diet / possibly my training. I dont know if I will be seeing her on a reg basis. She helped one of my girlfriends shed alot of bodyfat, and then compete! I really just want an opinion from a pro, who knows her stuff.

My legs are sore today!


Posted by: atherjen

diet and workout looked great yestarday Jillybean!
when in the consultation with Donna?

thats sooo sweet that you got flowers!!!
you deserve em!

that dancing Hippo was HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!


Posted by: Jill

any word on the possible trip to Mexico still?
I need some hot weather!! blahhhhhhhhhh its icky here!


Posted by: Jill

I am feeling better than I have in months AJ! (mentally mainly) Thats the most important thing. The weight will come off, as long as i continue to eat healthy-the occasionally cheat will not hurt me. Still no word on the mexico thing....


Posted by: greekblondechic

i think maybe for both of us, the problem stems mainly from the binging, not the minor diet details like we kept worrying about


Posted by: Jill

Ive banished the word "diet" Greeky. The word is just to stressful for me. How are ya feelin? Are you eating carbs?

Posted by: jstar

Hi Jill,

TY for your post in my journal today. It looks like you are really doing great girl! That is really cool that you are meeting with a top trainer. I think it's always helpful to have someone see you in person too. Are you bringing your diet and training journal to her as well?

Oh, I am going to give up caffeine and start drinking more water. Might be easier for me to do this now that I am working full time and can't have diet soda whenever I feel like it. Jeesh, I am going to be a bitch for a couple weeks


Posted by: JLB001

Jillie....I'm gonna have to try that cookie recipe in Stacey's journal. Is the macros on one cookie or two?


Posted by: Stacey

Hi Jilly! Your doing really great..I admire you!!

Thanks for the recipe!

Diet is a tough word to work with. Once you find a eating plan you can live with, think of it as a lifestyle change. Diet to me always meant a temporary solution. Once you reach your goal, you dump the diet and go back to eating like you did ... and that doesn't help you maintain your goal. In order to lose weight and keep it off, it's an ongoing process - thus a lifestyle change, not a fad diet or temporary solution. What I told the wife is that once she reaches her goal, she can then ease up a bit on the meal plan and have moderated cheats.

amen! except i think for me, i need cheats now.. or else my body will start hating me again


Posted by: Jill

Great post NT, thanks!!

I agree, but once again, I think everything in moderation is Ok-cheats just slow down your progress... I had a few mini eggs today and didnt binge! This whole food thing is slowly getting easier for me. THANK GOD. Of course it still is a daily stuggle. Not restricting has done wonders for me.

Thanks AJ, you are the best!!! Lets not forget about the protein in the cheese, (we'll minus the fat he he) and all the fiber in the bran, go for my digestive system!!!

???Question???? for the smart ones.... Should I be taking glutamine??? Can I have a 'simple' explanation what it does, why / when I and should take it and how much? Thanks


Posted by: naturaltan

When is your meeting with Donna?

Next wed! Did you meet them yet? Any opinions? Did I forget to mention I wanted to wear sandals today too? Off to do armies-my least fav workout....


Posted by: naturaltan

The missus and I go tomorrow to chat about doing a figure comp. I think I'm there for her just as reassurance. I have no desire to do any type of competing. That takes waaayy too much dedication and counting and monitoring. And needless to say, it would be very difficult not drinking beer while playing pool.

The missus has been wearing sandals for the last couple of weeks, regardless of the weather.


Posted by: jstar

Hi Jill

Way to go on not eating all the mini eggs! You have such restraint. I wouldve eaten them all!!!

ahh ha! that too! smart cookie! errr I mean girlie!

theres sooo much controversy over glutamine supplementation. it a nutshell it is supposed to help preserve muscle mass, hydrate cells and boost immune system. If you take it, take 5g(1tsp) in the morning, post workout and then before bed.


Posted by: greekblondechic

You had chocolate and didn't binge! THATS AWESOME!!!


Posted by: Jill

Well my day started out great-first 2 meals of protein pancakes....Great bi and tri workout, and I got my hair cut and highlighted!! I got some bangs cut, which I havent had since I was like 6!!! And my hairdresser straightened it, which takes me soooooooooooooo long to do myself! After my haircut things went down hilll..... Was starving, and I went to see my parents, my dinner was basically mini eggs, 1/2 blueberry muffin, and some of Baba's mini cinnamon buns !!! They are sooo yummy! She made a bag for me to take home, but I couldnt do it, I left them at my moms, or I would have ate the whole bag!!!! What a crappy ass meal!

Then I had a ff sf creamsicle, turkey peperonies-really good for you actually-no fat or carbs, and a diet yogurt. Tomorrow is a fresh start. It was gonna be my rest day but I think Im might go do cardio cause I ate bad today. oh well!


Posted by: atherjen

new hair cut!!! sounds sooo pretty!!

oh hunny dont be too down on yourself for eating that... think of it as a lil treat. it wasnt really a binge, so thats progress! and you were able to control it!

Have a great day beautiful!

Morning Jill !

Whats on the agenda today ?


Posted by: BabsieGirl

morning!!!!

pics pics pics pics...I wanna see your new look


Posted by: naturaltan

it must be spring as the wife had her haird done yesterday as well. She has two blonde streaks at the front (well, sorta pinkish because of the red dye) and a couple of blonde chunks layered under red ... it looks very cool.

Are you going to post pics of your hair Mrs. Jill?

Hey Jill

You new hairdo sounsd hot!! PICS!!!

Dont sweat the cheats... no big deal!!



Posted by: Jill

I hate my bags, they are annoying and keep getting in my eyes!!! When it goes back to curly tomorrow it wont be a problem.

I am so excited, Steve and I are going to look at show homes tonight!! We are thinking of building another house-we've only been in this new on for a year but there are things I would change-Were gonna see what prices are like and then go from there!


Posted by: naturaltan

Wow ... only a year and you're moving again. Where are you looking at? We went looking last weekend out in the Twinbrooks area. We figure we'll build a house we like as we don't plan on moving or upgrading it. When we pass on, our daughter can decide what she wants to do with the house.

What kind of house do you live in now? What kind do you think you might build?


Posted by: Stacey

yeah they do get in your eyes!!!

Oh Awesome~ I lOVE Looking at model/show homes..sooo much fun..especially when you know your getting a new home!!

Have fun!


Posted by: Jill

We live in a 2 story right now-I may consider a bungalow, or something with a bonus room (another 2 story) that faces "south" so we can get some sun!! Thats something we didnt consider b4, and we dont get a lot of sunshine in our house. NT-we are looking into either Hawkstone or the Hamptons, or Parkland-we currently live in Lewis Estates. We like the West end! This all will depend on the price.....


Posted by: naturaltan

a bungalow ... they are much more expensive aren't they (if you were considering the same sq footage)?

the bonus room ... it seems like most builders are using the bonus/great room idea. We liked it as well. It would server as the 'family/tv' room. Just another idea we saw that we liked ... one builder actually had a bathroom on the same level as the bonus room ... whcih meant you didn't have to travel to the main bathroom ... a little thing but I think we usual. Add a beer fridge and it instantly turns into a party room ... which we will have plenty of.


Posted by: Jill

Thats the thing-bungalows are more expensive, plus then you need a bigger/wider lot which means more $$$-we may just stick to another 2 story . The bonus rooms are usually upstairs, so a bathroom should always be upstairs??? We have 2 on the second level!!!


Posted by: jstar

Ohhh Jilly I bet you look real nice with straight hair and bangs. That is the "in" style now I guess.

Are you planning to move within the same town or a different area altogether? I am looking at condos now too. Very exciting!


Posted by: Jill

Jstar-We will probably just move 5 or so mins from where we are!!


Posted by: atherjen

can I come visit? and go the the WestEnd mall!

you are correct ... but with most bonus rooms we've seen, the closet bathroom was on the floor with the bedrooms, so that meant going up and down a couple of stairs ... this design had a bathroom on the same level as the bonus room ... just handy we thought.

Come on over AJ!!

I just bought these turkey/peperoni sticks-they have no fat, and if I eat 5 (they are little), thats 25P, 5C. Any thoughts? I love peperoni, but it is too high in fat!


Posted by: atherjen

I wish I could!!! someday though. you better hold that offer! haha

hmmmm those arent bad! but they are pretty high in sodium I think.. so beware of that!


Posted by: Jill

I wont even post my crappy diet today, yet again... I dont know how I have fallen off the wagon, but plan to get back on tomorrow! Leggies tomorrow at 6am, not fun.

Posted by: gwcaton

TGIF !!
Hi Jill !! Have a great day !


Posted by: naturaltan

well ... I went with the missus to see Brian and Donna. First thing I'll say about Donna is that I fear for her boxing opponent next month. This woman is put together. With men, a lot of skill can take away a power advantage ... but I think this kind of power advantage won't be easily overcome.

Next thing I'll say is that they love their vehicles. Outside they have a hummer ... Brian's Viper is coming out of storage next month along with Donna's NSX. If I had known that lifting a few weights might afford me such cool vehicles ... ... Brian said that when the Viper is out, he'll take me for a ride

And the last thing I'll say is they seem to know their stuff. I think the difference between them and the other trainer the wife has spoken to is that they are intent on succeeding. I've told the wife many times that part of the onus is on her ... if she doesn't see changes, talk to your trainer and they should tweak this or that. That is exactly what Donna said. The wife wants to get down to a managable weight prior to beginning training for competition next year. So Donna made note that if you don't see your weight coming down in 2/3 days, email her and she will her tweak the eating plan. This is what I would expect of a trainer and she seems quite dedicated on achieving success.

I think you'll like what she has to say. She's attractive, strong and very very personable.

Jstar ... I think Donna can get Jill on the right road. They together seem very good at getting body fat to drop through their diet. And I was worried when Jill said her friend went, dropped the weight and then regained it back ... but from what I've seen, I hope it was because she started eating junk again. I've told the wife and I believe Jill knows this, it's a lifestyle change. My personal belief is to go hard for 3 months then ease up once you've attained or almost attained your goal. I see no reason to count carbs/calories or anything if you don't intend on competing. You must watch when and how much junk you eat, but I believe in moderation - healthly living moderation.

I realize her job is to sell what their services, but they have a whole photo album of people they're downsized which really impressed me. They told us they now have those that are looking to go pro, or are pro asking their help to tweak their diets - that says a lot when fellow bbs are asking for their help. They no longer compete in bb'ing, so helping others is what they love to do and apparently do well.

Donna is boxing pro next month. When the wife first told me about it, I wasn't that interested, but in talking to her, I am pretty excited about seeing her box. Brian almost had me going on getting back into the ring myself. I said I was too old and he was quick to point out that Donna was turning 45 this year. Wow ... if I look half as good as that at 45, I'll be very happy.

I hope your meeting is as good as my first visit was.

Have a great weekend.

ps. I'll log on later on and see if maybe tomorrow or Sunday Steve and yourself would like to meet for coffee. The missus is taking our daughter for her last ski in the mountains.

Hey twin! I used to have bangs up until a few years ago.. Now I have a grown-up haircut.. I think

Now that NT hyped up this Donna lady you BETTER post EVERYTHING (or at least pm it to me ) since we're soooo similar, I can probably follow the same exact thing as you.


Posted by: Jill

Nt- I work all weekend my house is a messy, tonnes of laundry, and I lose a friggin hour sunday, so that means I'll be gettin up at 5am-ewwwwww! God Im stressin myself out. We'll meet real soon, promise!!!! Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.

GREAT NEWS! Im going for coffee with my friend who worked with Donna these last couple of years. Me and her havent talkd for a year and 1/2, I really miss her. The super weird thing about me and her is that even though we havent talked in so long-when we do its like we never even parted. Like we were hanging out just yesterday! We have this weird connection. Ill let ya ladies know any tips she might give me.


Posted by: Jill

BTW Greeky, I HATE MY STUPID BANGS!!!!!!!!!!!! They are too short cause my hair is so curly, the shrink up! I had to pin them to the side today....how annoying! It looks ok boby pinned though.


Posted by: atherjen

JIllybean Im sure that they lok great-just going to take some getting used to. I never liked bangs myself. maybe because I always had to pin em back too for sports! lol

thats soo cool that you are meeting up with your friend again!! Have a great time with her girl!
and no stressin missy! gosh I didnt know that the time went ahead... ughhh not cool its already flyin!

Thanks NT-I havent been posting cause Ive been friggin busy, and have been eating pretty shitty-training still on top as usual! Im hoping going to see Brian and Donna will give me that extra 'oomph' and step things up a notch, I think I need that push and inspiration. SHit, i dont know. I hope its all worth it!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by: gwcaton

Morning Pretty Lady !


Posted by: Jill

Hey Gary, how goes it??? Im sleepy today, lost an hour due to the time change!!


Posted by: naturaltan

I hope it works out for you as well. Did talking to your friend help motivate you at all?


Posted by: greekblondechic

I am starting to get a little skeptical of taking advice from BB's when I don't want to look like a BB. I want the figure/fitness look.

It was great seeing my old friend, so glad to be starting up our relationship again. She highly recommends the trainers-she was just fed up with measuring, loging, restricting. The 'weight' gain affected her a great deal, mainly MENTALLY. I can totally relate to her situation. She is still struggling with her weight, and is following a more balanced type of diet, weight watchers. She has accepted that she will never be 120 pounds, she actually is really inspiring to me.

I am still going to see the trainers wed-I need some advice from a pro. Im just going to stress that i dont want a DIET, i want some guidence and advice from a pro. I want their opinions of my macros, foods that i should really stay away from---skim milk and fruit? Some say they are a no, some say they are a go! Foods that are ideal for my sitautions, and my weight training of course.

I am really just confused mentally. I can not accept myself the way i am-my body type and the way i look. BUT, Im doing nothing major to change. I dont know If i have the will, or how bad i really want to be happy-er . I wish I could stop judging myself of my weight. Will I truly be happier with a smaller waist? Or a smaller # on the scale? Or will i always be struggling?


Posted by: Jill

There are pictures of the trainers im going to see on page 4 of my journal, thanks to NT!


Posted by: atherjen

Ohhh Jillybean keep your head up and think postive for me hun, even if that smile is hard to crack do it-because you are SO beautiful in and out, regardless of how you feel you look!

I truly hope that you are able to find the guidance that you seek with the trainers. let us know how it goes hun!

haha I woke up this morning and was like "damn I overslept" then I remembered the time change!


Posted by: greekblondechic

Jillian.. Like I mentioned in my journal.. I am so physically uncomfortable in my own body that I simply can not be happy or accept it. It is like saying you must accept something constantly bothering you like a mosquito that never goes away. Ok bad analogy, but I think you get what I mean.


Posted by: Jill

I totally get it greeky.


Posted by: Jill

People, I think I have a problem-I AM ADDICTED TO SUGAR AAAAAAAAAAAA! I find if i have some, i crave it and look for it the the rest of the day- the worst thing is that I EAT IT TOO!!!!!!!!!! Its an all or nothing approach. I cant have a tiny bit of chocolate-insted I binge. So the easiest way to stop the cravings, I believe, is to just get rid IT them completely.

My goal, starting tomorrow is the elimate REAL sugar. I plan to still have splenda and sf stuff, just get rid of the CRAP. My jeans hardly fit me-well they fit, but it is VERY uncomfortable to even sit down.

I have been slacking and not posting, so my other goal is to get back to posting to-and count my macros.


Posted by: JLB001

Jillie! Clean out the cabinets, don't let what is bad in there! If you can't get rid of it...hide it in the very back of the cabinet.

I have to throw everything away that I might eat (dang popcorn). Our frig looks like a single guy lives here. I need to clean the cabinets out soon as well..we have sugar, flour, brown sugar, shorting....I have been sitting here thinking I could make drop sugar cookies with just those basic things!!! I need to hide the cookbooks too.


Posted by: greekblondechic

My jeans are way too tight


Posted by: JLB001

Ok...both of ya'll get your rears to my house. We'll be safe from bad food here.


Posted by: Jill

The worst thing is we have NO shit in the house, nothing bad at all, except 1 bag of doritios that Steve bought for poker night that didnt get eaten, and they are of NO temptation to me what so ever. The cookies are going with Steve to work tomorrow, thank god. The worst thing is lately Ive been going out and BUYING the crap when I want it, knowing that I shouldn't, I still do fuck!! Then I eat it all. The next day it starts all over again...friggin cycle. I need to get some control over my cravings.


Posted by: JLB001

once you have sugar back in the diet, it is hard to get rid of it again. I have a habit of covering my nose with my shirt when we go to the food store and have to walk into the bakery section. It is my weakness...esp the hot french bread that they bake...Its addictive.


Posted by: gwcaton

Night Jill !


Posted by: Sapphire

Hi Jill!

How are you sweetie? Sounds like you were a bit down on yourself about the whole sugar thing... I CRAVE sugar too when I am PMSing. It's ridiculous.

How are your workouts going?
How was your weekend?


Posted by: gwcaton

Hi Jill !

TGIM ! LOL


Posted by: atherjen

Gooooooddddd Monday Jillybean!!

dont be so down on yourself hunny, it all takes time to overcome our obstacles.. you have been doing great. perhaps try and find yourself something that you REALLY like that isnt so bad for you and eat that when you are having cravings. I dont know what.. but something to help you feel satisfied.
hopefully those trainers that you go see wednesday can offer some one on one insight hun!
hang in there, and try not to be sooo upset! you shine when you smile beautiful!


Posted by: Jill

AJ and Saphy, you 2 are a sweetharts!!! (you too Gary he he)

4 hours and no sugar, yipeee!!! I went and did an hour of crazy cardio this am, it felt great-maybe it will offset all the cookies I had last night! The cookies were sitting on the counter this am, and i didnt have one!!

Im thinking of taking a week off of weight training, have never really done that before-with the exception of 5 days while I was in mexico. Was still planning on doing cardio. Any opinions?? Im planning to focus more on cardio, and a little less on the weights, my armies are just getting too big!


Posted by: atherjen

armies are geting too big?? you silly woman!
a week off training may be good for you body! its good to do every once and a while. then start off fresh and high drive again in a week!

an hour of cardio this am? Im sweatin just thinkin of it! haha


Posted by: Jill

My arms are serioulsy too big-I was looking at pics from a few years ago, they were much smaller


Posted by: jstar

Hi Jill

Hon - how are you? I wish I could take away your stress, I know how you feel. Ya know, you were doing really great on your diet the past couple months, it's just the past few weeks you got a little sidetracked. I think you CAN and WILL be able to get back into a solid routine again. Taking a week off is a great idea. Trust me you will be rearing to get back in the weight room after a whole week off!

PS - I LOVE your arms. Mine a friggin pipecleaners, I have to stay in flex mode for my muscles to be visible

For me, binge eating is due to emotional eating. I end up stuffing the feelings down with food, instead of feeling them because they are too painful. Especially now since the breakup, the feelings I have are so strong I am going to feel them whether I binge or not. Bingeing doesn't take away those feelings and that is why I think I have lost the temptation right now. My diet hasn't been perfect, but I am happy I have not binged or even wanted to.

Jen's idea was right on - find something YOU love to do to fill up those times when you are most tempted. Make a list of 100 other things to do til the urge passes - like paint your nails, go to the bookstore and read, drive around in your car with the radio on singing, take a long hot shower or bath. Those are just some ideas. At first you will have to "force" yourself to do these alternate activities because it won't seem natural, and sometimes you will still binge anyways, but over time it really does help you gain control.


Posted by: Jill

You are real sweet J-star. Yup, last night was a nightmare!!! I was doing good for about a month or 2, and you are right things went downhill from their. I just need to suck it up now, and start fresh, those are famous words of mine.... I think I am ready, today is going good so far. Thanks for the tips!


Posted by: naturaltan

I tmight help having to answer to someone like Donna ... having to tell her that you cheated would make me scared to .. Just joking about her scaring ya ... but I do think that having to answer to someone might help. As long as you're honest with what you've cheated on, she'll be able to say "Jill, that cheat was ok, but if you want to progress, you're going to have to .... "


Posted by: jstar

anytime

NT - Donna is HUGE, wow!!! I am sure she is as great as you say

Jill - I think talking to a bb will help you, plus give you a little extra motivation. IMO, from what I have seen, you did the best when you were following Jodi's advice. I am not suggesting you should revisit carb cycling, but I think some people like yourself do better with a mentor/advisor. (tell me if I am wrong I am just assuming).

For me, I have a hard time planning and sticking to things to a tee. Anytime I have tried to follow this diet plan or that diet plan I never last. I like to have total control over what I eat and when and how much, and just play with things to make it work for me. Some people would get anxiety over doing things this way, but I prefer less structure in my work and in my life~


Posted by: Jill

I think your are sorta right J-star & NT-having somebody to answer to may help me. I don not plan to carb cyle again Jstar-I think it totally brought on the binges. Lats year, Feb-Oct i was eating reg, mainitaing my weight, never binging. Then started cc in oct- or nov, and things have steadily went down hill from there. (weight up about several pounds) Im not blaming the diet, cause I know ultimately I am responsible for my actions, but I think it was sort of a trigger.

Ive never been "put on a diet", so I dont know how I will respond mentally. I am deff gonna go in to see the trainers with an open mind, thats for sure. I think this is my last resort, cause not being strict or on a plan has still left me in binge mode. I need to get everything under control mentally, for the most part.


Posted by: naturaltan

jstar ... she's a bit smaller now. She's weighing in at around 175lb.

Jill ... I hope you find the eating plan as simple as the missus has found it. You will have to battle with the sugar issue, but I think the plan is good.


Posted by: Jill

Does the misses eat very low fat??? I read that on the website. Milk and rice cakes are allowed? I read that too. How long was her inital meeting?


Posted by: naturaltan

I believe the idea is to stay away from the fats. I think it was 45 minutes or so. She did a bf test, weighed her and then talked about where the missus wanted to achieve and she gave her a plan.

Now, with the thought about competing, Donna listened to the missus about wanting to first get rid of the fat around her midsection first, because Donna had her put on some shorts and a top to access her body in regards to muscularity. When she's happy with her body, then Donna will change the eating plan to have her put on some lean body mass. Legs are the main muscle the wife will have to really work on.


Posted by: Jill

Thanks Nt!


Posted by: greekblondechic

Jillly! HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am totally taking a few weeks off weights cuz I didnt like how muscular I had become!! Its been like 2-3 weeks, and I'm finally starting to feel feminine again


Posted by: Jill

All Ive eaten toady is a p pancake with straws, chix and veggies with a a diet yogurt, and egg whites with veggies, and I have the WORST stomach pains ever. I did have 2 sweet n lows in my coffee this am-could that be it, or would you say its the aspertame in the yogurt?Or the 2 mixed together within an hour? Im in PAIN badly...


Posted by: atherjen

hmmm going back to how I used to feel on that sh*t(aspartame and art.sweetners) it drove my stomach icky feelings too.
drink lotsa water hun and try to flush that crap out! lol
heck you havent aten much! but wait is it 3 or 4 there?

Viv - your nuts!!


Posted by: greekblondechic

yogurt = dairy

artificial sweeteners = chemicals

veggies = fiber

straws = what r these?

all of these can cause problems, im guessin its not the ew cuz u always have those


Posted by: aggies1ut

straws=strawberries


Posted by: jstar

Hi Jilly,

How's your tummy? I hope u feel better

Hun I think you should take the opportunity to meet with Donna, explain to her your situation. It is very much a mental thing with me too and my food issues. I have been doing good though eating higher carbs and lower fat, I mostly ran into binge problems because I was limiting carbs too much. If I eat plenty of good carbs I don't crave the sugary ones at all....but if I cut my carbs too low I get wicked bad cravings! (Something I finally figured out about myself).


Posted by: Jill

04/05

~6 am cardio, 1 hour

MEAL 1: 1/2C oats, 1/2C cottage cheese, 1 ew, protein, 100g strawBERRIES

MEAL 2: 4.5oz chix, sprouties, peppers, diet yogurt, digion mustard

MEAL 5: Trail mix

MEAL 6: Bite of cheese, veggies, diet yogurt

No binge today . Minor amounts of sugar in the t mix, over all, quite happy with my meals. I dont know about counting macros, kinda stressfull and annoying, everyone here knows proper portion sizes.

nice meals and workout hon!


Posted by: Jill

Thanks Greeky-my last meal was a diet yogurt, veggies, and a bite-JUSTA BITE, of cheese. I just read in the new oxygen cheese is one of the most addicting foods, I STRONGLY agree!


Posted by: Jill

Hey Greeky-I was thinking today that fats MIGHT be making me fat....WHY? A year ago I was lean eating protein, carbs<----NOT COUNTING, and my fat was VERY low. I maintained a much lower weight than what Im at now.... Just a thought.


Posted by: gwcaton

Nite Jill,
Time for this old fart to go to sleep. Talk at ya tomorrow


Posted by: greekblondechic

I think binges make us fat darling


Posted by: sara

What's with the tummy ache?


Posted by: gwcaton

Morning Jill ! Hope you have a really good day.


Posted by: atherjen

cheese isnt addicting to me.. I think its icky! lol but im WEIRD!!!

hows the weather out west Jillybean? it snowed here all morning!!


Posted by: naturaltan

I agree with Jen ... I'm not a big cheese eater.

It's raining here today ... I'm speaking for Jill and I ...


Posted by: Jill

I like the rain, good thing I didnt wash my car yesterday!


Posted by: Sapphire

I agree with NT and Jen, I can honestly say I never eat cheese and dont crave it at all. Now CHOCOLATE that's a different story!! and peanut butter....

How are you today Jill????


Posted by: Jill

I havent eaten PB in a long time-it just doesnt appeal to me anymore. Steve buys this marble cheese-it is MY tempation in the fridge, YUM! Chocolate is my all time BIGGEST weakness 4 sure!

Im ok today, how Saphy??

OMG Jill this is exactly what I have found to be true about my body. Low carbs really make me cranky, hungry, tired, depressed...and for me low carbs is like under 200g! I have been eating a lot more carbs lately and low fat and I am losing fat and even better - I feel great! Now don't get me wrong I am not a fat-phobe but this way of eating just makes me feel more energetic as opposed to lowering my carbs and eating more EFAs. I will have some PB every few days but the rest of my fat is from the lean proteins and good carbs.

I will be carb depleting though in a couple weeks for the contest though.

Hey Jill~ Hope your tummy is feeling better sweetie!!! I have noticed that I am much leaner without eating all my peanuts. I use to eat a LOT of them everyday..and Now I do not buy them..I am starting to see a difference!!

Good Luck sweetie!

What's on you'r list for questions?

Posted by: Jill

They are very 'peaceful' Sara. Im not afraid of carbs anymore, just trying to watch fat intake mostly.

Questions:
1. Post/pre workout meals
2. Cardio on an empty stomach
3. Protein an every meal?
4. Amounts of cardio, reps & sets & # of exercises<---weights

Still thinking, I wanna get my $$$'s worth, seeing the top trainers in Alberta is exciting!


Posted by: sara

Great questions! you going to share the answers with us, Right?

5. The best diet plan to reach you'r goal... building muscles and losing Body fat
