Andrea's 10 Week Journal


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



Posted by: ncgirl21

Hi!! Remember me . I decided to start keeping my journal again, summer is almost here and I want to try to get in better shape!!

So, most of you know who I am, but just in case your memory has gotten bad and you forgot me, I'll fill ya in!!

I'm 22 years old, I live in North Carolina and I don't compete and I don't intend to, I just want to look like I could . I've been laying low the past few months, nothing has really changed, just same old same old. I'm going to the beach (Myrtle Beach, SC) on May 18th so I'm officially 10 weeks away.

So, my current stat's are in black and my goals are in red:
Height: 5'8
Weight: 145
Goal: 130
Thigh: 22
Goal: 20
Bellybutton: 29
Goal: 27
Waist: 27.5
Goal: 25
Bodyfat %: Hell if I know, your welcome to guess
Goal: as low as I can go!
Hips: 35
Goal:33
Around biggest part of hips and ass: 39 (I have a ghetto booty )
Goal: 37
Bicep (flexed): 11
Goal: 11.5
Chest: 37.75 (I measure around my boobs too, not sure if I'm suppose too )
Goal: I won't go there, I'd like my boobs to grow but I know better
Chest: 33 (underneath boobs, around ribs)


I've attached some pictures from a few weeks ago, I think I've lost a little body fat since then. I'm not 100% positive about my weight, I need to get a scale that works, mine's a piece of shit. Any reccomendations? Does the tanita tell your weight and your bodyfat? I'll post some better pics in the next week or so and as I get closer to my trip .

Well, you look dang good to me. Good luck though, and welcome back to IM.


Posted by: soxmuscle

Damn, you look good. I'll definitly be following along here.


Posted by: M.J.H.

Hey you! Long time no see. Welcome back, it's so exciting that you're starting a journal. I am definitely going to keep up with it.


Posted by: PreMier

Welcome back Andrea

Edit: and dont waste your money on a scale that tells you your bf%. They are garbage.


Posted by: LW83

Andrea! YOu look amazing!


Posted by: ncgirl21

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it I've really missed this place !!

PreMier- What digital scale would you recommend, or does it really matter?


Posted by: PreMier

I dont own a scale.. so I really couldnt recommend anything for you. Just dont spend money on one that tells you your bf%. They are no where near correct. Maybe just look at Bed Bath and Beyond for a nice one, or a Kohls. Just be sure to set it up on a hard surface(tile/hardwood/etc).


Posted by: ncgirl21

LOL!! Gotcha!

Agreed. Those scales are so damn inaccurate. Pics look good Andrea, good luck achieving your goals.


Posted by: BritChick

Hi Andrea,
Good luck with your goals... and there is nothing wrong with a ghetto booty... I am sporting one too! lol
Totally agree on the above opinions about body composition scales, I purchased Tanita scales and they are a piece of crud, they currently read me at 38% bf... um, yeah right! They are pretty accurate with weight but that's about it.


Posted by: thatguy

Brit Chick, I've seen your pics and you do NOT have a ghetto booty.


Posted by: thatguy

Either that or you hide it well.

Same with you, Andrea.


Posted by: sara

Posted by: CowPimp

What's wrong with a ghetto booty? Mmmm... Booty...


Posted by: soxmuscle

I couldnt agree more. I love the ghetto booty.


Posted by: M.J.H.

Seriously though, I'll probably do some........ it just depends on whether or not I'm able to walk after my leg workout. I plan on kicking my own ass tonight!

Not much. Going to the gym ... trying not to stay home during the evening on weekends ... house upkeep. Other than the flu bug they both have, both wife and daughter are doing great.

How is your fine self doing?

Hi there! I didn't even realize you'd started up a new journal! Girl you're looking pretty good there, so you should be able to reach those goals in NO time. 10 weeks is plenty of time, imho. Just stick with it!

GOOD LUCK!


Posted by: BritChick

Good morning.

I had it last week and it kicked my ass. I hope you don't get it. It's not fun!


Posted by: M.J.H.

Diet looks great Andrea, keep up the hard work! Have you considered taking any kind of supplements to aid in fat-loss? Such as thermogenics?


Posted by: ncgirl21

Hey Mike!! I really don't know what to take to be honest with you, ever since they pulled ephedra I've heard that everything is pretty shitty. What would you recommend?


Posted by: naturaltan

I would suggest a night on the town with Mrs and Mr.NT


Posted by: ncgirl21

I hear you NT, sounds like a plan to me



Held out on the cardio tonight, my legs are beat and I've got a super circuit class in the morning and they've been known to last a while so I better save up!! But, I had a good upper body workout, my arms feel like jell-o!

Hi Sara, my weekend went good, just super busy, how was yours?

Mike- SuperCircuit is a cardio combination class of different cardio classes that they have once a month at the Y. It combines kickboxing, sculpting, BLT and step aerobics into about a 75 minute class.

5- salad w/ lots of veggies, turkey, cottage cheese
6- protein pancakes
**snacked on broccoli, cauliflower and carrots throughout the day**

Carido- 20 minutes

Monday:

Diet:
Meal 1- oatmeal, egg whites
Meal 2- talipia, brown rice, asparagus
Meal 3- apple, cottage cheese
Meal 4- stuffed shells, shrimp
Meal 5- protein pancakes, 1/4 cup EW

Meal 4: chicken lasagna
Meal 5: talipia, rice, asparagus, carrots
Meal 6: egg whites, cantaloupe, baby carrots

Weights- legs
Cardio- Defiantly!!! *will edit amount*



NT- Hey hun!! Thanks for the compliment, your always so sweet!! I'm not exactly sure on the amount of weight I want to lose, I want my measurements to decrease though and for my abs to show. I can feel them and see my top ones a little but I want them all popping out!! I really just want to see exactly how lean I can get.

Good morning.


Posted by: Velvet

Morning Andy


Posted by: klmclean

Hi Andrea, just noticed your new journal, I've been away here and there myself. Your diet looks good. How are things going?


Posted by: PreMier

Why dont you post your workouts? Did you find a nice scale?


Posted by: ncgirl21

Morning Everyone !!

Change of plans, I'm going to start posting my meals the day after, I change my mind to much and want different things so that's the plan. Yesterday's meals changed too, but I won't bother with them, they were clean .


Hi Vel, Kim and Brit Chik I hope ya'll have a great day

Hey Premier!! How are you? Still haven't bought a scale, I'll pick one up sometime before the weekend because I like to weigh on Saturdays. I don't generally post what exercises I do because I don't write them down. Maybe I'll start??

Today's a rest day from weights, but I've got to do cardio anyhow. Did 45 minutes yesterday, 20 on treadmill, 25 on bike.

Posted by: PreMier

Im curious, do you still talk to Jen? I wonder what she is up to


Posted by: LW83

I hope you have a great weekend Andrea


Posted by: klmclean

Hi Andrea

Have a great weekend! Got any exciting plans?


Posted by: ncgirl21

Hey!! I haven't updated in about a week, but I've been super busy, diet and training are still going great though!

Here's today:
Wednesday:
M1: BB muffin, quiche
M2: quiche
M3: Atkins yogurt, oats
M4: Quiche, Choc. Pumpkin Brownie
M5: Gardenburger meal
M6: Tofu Pancakes (never made these before, will let you know how they come out!), 1 tbs. almond butter

*I made 3 different quiche's last night so I'm trying all of them today. The BB muffin is actually a black bean cake recipe, I just made muffins with them. They're suprisingly good, and only 50 calories. The pumpkin chocolate brownie is a BB brownie recipe, I just swaped the pumpkin in place of the beans. Came out good to, 50 cals. *

Workout: upper
Cardio: will update

I'm starting a new weight workout which will be a four day split, it will begin on Saturday, I don't like the upper lower thing.


Posted by: LW83

"quiche",.... funny word

Have a good one! I missed ya


Posted by: ncgirl21

Luke- My little brother sounds like he's saying queff when he says it I hope you've been doing good, I haven't talked to you in forever- I'll have to fix that! Your number still the same?

PreMier- I talk to her once in a while through e-mail. Last time we talked though she was doing great. I wish she'd come back on here though, I miss her!



FYI- One of my friends started a message board, so far it's only got a few members but I thought I'd post a link in case anyone wanted to check it out. She's super sweet and she's getting ready for her first fitness comp. It's probably more for women, but take a look guys too and feel free to join!
