(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)



Posted by: ltennis299

ok guys.. i made my own journal!!


Posted by: greekblondechic

Yayyy!!!!!!!!!! You will love it here


Posted by: ltennis299

Hey everyone.. for those that haven't met me yet! This journal is to keep me on track to get to my goal. My goal is to get lean and strive for the best body i can. I am currently 5'7'', about 149 lbs. I have a good muscle base... i need to get rid of the fat on top! My ultimate goal is 135lbs.. i've gotten and maintained about 142 lbs for a year.. until June of last year.. then my eating got out of control and now i'm back! A week going strong eating clean.
I appreciate all of everyone's support here! I know that I can reach my goal in no time if i just stick to it. Consistency is key. I will post my workouts and meals and I am open to suggestions. I'm on track with my eating now.. i just need a good kick in the ass for cardio and lifting!! I know this will help greatly! I just want to eat clean.. i'm not trying to be super strict of anything. One cheat meal a week.. i'm still deciding on the diet. I had a cutting diet last year from a trainer at the gym i worked at that coached figure girls. He tried to convince me to do figure.. but I don't think i would want to be that strict.. i just want to get lean and maintain!! anyways.. thanks to everyone here!! you all are great!

Posted by: ltennis299

hehe Jodie ... now you are scaring me..!! just kidding!! yeah.. i used to be a cardio queen.. now i have to force myself to do it.. but then i do it and feel great... ugghhh.. well i didn't do it today! Tomorrow i promise! thanks for everything!


Posted by: JLB001

I'm only doing it because I have too. Otherwise I wouldn't step foot on a piece of cardio equipement. 2x per day sucks in addtion to lifting!!!

well...on to a happier note...what part of Florida? Craig's parents live over in that state. More toward Orlando than the beach. We may end up there when he finishes up school and decides where he is gonna open his pratice.


Posted by: ltennis299

Hey girl-- glad you started a journal!!!

Do u play tennis?

OH I love Orlando!! Cocoa beach is awesome tooooo! Luckygirl!


Posted by: M.J.H.

Welcome to the journal forum! Really great move IMO you'll definitely realize how great it is has to have people supporting/helping you out, etc.

Nice to see that you're going to list your meals, I was hoping that you would do this. Are you going to list what kind of workouts you do as well? Also, I can't really tell from your pictures, how old are you? And how long have you been training?

you do..of course know that yo are also doing cardio for me too, right? hey..if I have to eat my long eared chocolate Easter buny for you, then you have to do my cardio for me. (does it work that way?)


Hey Monstar...
I saw your videos..you human freak of nature...I..uh..need a house moved..wana come over and take care of that!
(great job on the 600+ lb DL!)


Posted by: ltennis299

Hey i'm 21 yrs old, been training more seriously for about 2.5 years. Always did cardio before that and some lifting. Just getting back into lifting again.. i slacked big time for the past 8 or so months. I'm lucky to have a naturally muscular build.. so i'm excited to see how i'm going to look when i lean out and actually lift hard!! My legs are still very muscular even though i haven't really trained them consistently. would like to get them nice and lean though!


Posted by: greekblondechic

I'm 21 and 5'7 too!


Posted by: Burner02

good luck! There is a lot of learning that can happen here..in between idle ramblings of wit (which is my department)
so, stick around and enjoy!


Posted by: ltennis299

hey thanks! we are so alike Greeky..
I'm trying to figure out how exactly i should do my workouts.. i'm going to do cardio 5x's a week and lift 3x's. I need lots of cardio right now! Even though i try and tell myself i don't. so 40-45mins of it and then lift mon wed fri... i'm thinking..
mon- shoulders,chest,tris
wed-legs
fri-back,bis
and cardio everyday and take weekends off... that seemed to work best for me in the past
any suggestions? my eating is clean..i'm actually going back and forth whether to do a little carb cycling..hmmmmm


Posted by: greekblondechic

I say stick with what works for you!

As for the carb cycling, I tried that before and I really felt it wasn't right for me because it made my binging worse. I think Jill and Jen (atherjen) agree. Carb cycling is very hard both mentally and physically. I say stick w. clean eating and 1 cheat day or meal (meal would be better if u can handle it)


Posted by: JLB001

Lynnie...Craig's parents live I think in this place called Lady of the Lakes?


Posted by: ltennis299

thanks greeky! you are right... it will pay off in the long run.. i'm trying to get rid of my problems for good! yeah one cheat MEAL mentally is hard.. i LOVE FOOD!!! bad food too!! yeah when i lost 45 lbs i had a cheat DAY.. once a week.. but i wasn't as obssessed with food as i've become.. so ok that is what will work.. no restricting carbs or anything like that.. it all never works.. for me at least.. thanks girl!! just needed reinforcement


Posted by: atherjen

Im such a baby, Im only 19!!
Lynne I checked out your pics! sooooooo pretty!!

your split looks good girl! as for the carb cycling, as Viv mentioned for someone with binging history I dont think that its best to follow simply because of be high carb day..seems to be a problem. I say do what you find works best for you, we all seem to respond diff in a way.
your meals look great today!


Posted by: ltennis299

ahh thanks jen!! yeah i'm just gonna eat clean.. i did a little carb cycling (for 10 days..then some emotional stuff hit) and it worked great.. but then i got into bad habits..so gonna stick with clean eating from here on out!! i know it will work.. did once before!

I couldn't resist posting on this post! Oh, ltennis!

I used to live in Winter Park and also "lived" on the beach during the daytime at Surfside place at Cocoa Beach! I have a picture that will be going up in my website of when I was sitting with my ex-GF from Winter Park. It was sunrise at 6 am! So beautiful and peaceful!!

Say hello to Debbie Kruck for me (Daytona) ! Actually, she knows my friend moreso but I know her web site guy, John Stevens more after self promoting the DKFC for him two years ago! But I don't talk to John anymore.

Anyways! WELCOME and glad you started a journal!

A week and half now no cheats!!! Except my planned one last Saturday.. still not too bad!! Getting my into gear now too!
Thanks for everything guys!! I'll post pics when I see some progress!
Good job!


Posted by: ltennis299

Hey guys! been busy today... anyways.. yeah i had some icecream.. not getting mad.. i decided to buy that crap and eat it getting alot better though. other than that had a good day.. hope you all are doing good too!! from what i'm reading you are off to do some cardio really soon! burn off some icecream


Posted by: greekblondechic

In the past I found, cardio always helped keep me from getting fat even when I was binging on a regular basis, but of course it's much better to not binge at all!

Did u go to the supermarket hungry?


Posted by: ltennis299

no not hungry at all.. haven't really been hungry for a good week now.. just eating to eat.. and keep calories up where they need to be... like i said.. that is the food!!! i don't have to ever have a reason to have it.. that and cheesecake..hmm although i never get that ..... no way.. at least i can get "healthy" icecream.. there is not any healthy cheesecake!
oh yeah.. cardio i always did..when i was bingeing way bad.. that i attribute to my only 8lb gain.. but still 8 lbs TOO MUCH.. all went to hips and upper thighs.. well everywhere.. i gain everywhere EQUALLY..thats bad and good.. ok will not get into my rant about that right now

Posted by: ltennis299

hey guys was real busy yesterday.. meals went ok.. went out to dinner.. got a salad w/chicken and ate some bread .. like 1 piece w/ a little olive oil.. yumm.. was a little down yesterday.. my weight is as high as it was when i was eating horrible.. and i'm been eating pretty good.. but i got real with myslef.. my workouts haven't been all there.. and i ate icecream the other day .. and maybe i'll been eating too much for the little amount i've been doing lately.. so picked myself up still ate good and giving it my all now. No more little cheats here and there.. and i'm getting my butt to the gym for cardio and lifting hard.. no excuses! I will get there in time.. its not like there is something wrong with me.. although i thought so last night.. til the boyfriend gave me an encouraging and motivating talk..guess i haven't been as good as i've thought lately with working out and eating. Even if i'm eating clean.. it may be too much.. but its only like 1800 cals a day. Oh well i'll get there.. gotta keep my head up..
had a good leg workout yesterday and 30 mins cardio. Thanks for listening everyone
