Posted by: Miss LeDix

Morning peeps! I'm starting a new journal (kuso, will you please close the other one). Even though I don't have lots of time to 'cackle', 'squak', or be pornal with all my buddies here, I do have time to log my food and general information regarding my workouts.

I have gained about five pounds in the last six weeks or so, and it's not muscle. It's cookies at work, it's walnuts and almonds at home, it's all that catching up to me. So, I need to start a new page, start a new journal, and start a new way of thinking. I'm extremely disappointed in my lack of will power recently, and I'm going to work hard at improving it.

Today will be a good challenge, as there are still two types of cookies and iced raisin bread at work. This is leftover from someone bringing breakfast in on Friday. We'll see how it goes.

Workout for today is back and biceps. Meals will be posted below.

I welcome all feedback on diet and training. I guess I also welcome any non-fitness related banter as well.

Weight: 125.4 lbs
Started workout at 5:36, ended (lifting) at 6:17

Workout:

Sitting Row 40*15,50*12,60*10
Pull Down 50*15,60*12,70*8
Bent Over Row (with bar) 30*15,40*15,50*10
Supinating DB Curl 15*12,15*12,20*10
Hammer Curl 15*12,15*12,20*10
Concentration Curl 10*12,15*8
Assisted Pull Up 50*10,60*10,50*6

Finished off with 10 minutes of moderate interval work on stairmaster,

Meal 1: EAS Results for Her shake, 1/2 cup Fiber One cereal (dry)
Meal 2: Post workout, Balance Bar (Chocolate Banana)
Meal 3: Six eggs (five white, one yolk) scrambled...and since Lina posts the pills she takes, I thought I would post mine. 5 Pentasa, 1 Imuran, 1 multi-vitamin, 1 Viactiv
Meal 4: 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, one Gala apple, sprinkled with cinammon
Meal 5: Two small cans of albacore tuna (in water), one Golden Delicous apple, 5 Pentasa
Meal 6: One slice of this all natural 'fitness bread' I got at the International Farmers Market...it's from Germany, whole grain, 7 grams of fiber per slice, slice is about 75% as big as a normal slice of bread, with some all natural peanut butter and blueberry fruit preserves
Meal 7: Grilled chicken breast, peas, five Pentasa, one Viactiv
Damn....did I eat too much today???

Good News is that I did not eat any of the lemon cookies, any of the pink cookies, or any of the iced raisin bread. Also I went to a meeting off-site and there was a tray of food that I did not touch.
Bad News is that I did have three or four small cinammon hard candies and one mini-mini Peppermint Pattie

Hi Miss L!

Your workout looks awesome! 5 lbs is not a whole lot and your weight does vary with water intake, pms, etc. don't fret a lot K? It is not unusual for me to fluctuate that much in 1 week!

Keep strong at work today!



Posted by: craig777

I can help you take it back off Miss LeDix, just let me chase you around the room.

Had to be the first to be pornal.

Just get back into your routine. You took a little break. We will be here to spank your butt if you do it again.



Posted by: J'Bo

Finding a new workout routine and diet adjustments always helps me get back on track.



Posted by: kuso

Whats this???? A new thread to pornalise, and I wasn`t invited

Your old one is closed.....for now

Some advice.....IMPO you`re doing a a feww too many sets, particularly for bi`s. All of your back exercises incorporate your bi`s so they will already be somewhat fatigued......9 sets on top of that could be overkill.



Posted by: Princess

Hey Miss Ledix! Great idea to start a new journal..I was thinking of doing the same thing!
Great food this morning..keep it up babe! Like Lina said, don't stress out TOO much on the 5lb. gain..but I do know how ya feel. I freak out to when the numbers go up! You cought it in time though and you have a 'fit' mind, so I know you will get back on track just fine! Have a great day girlie!!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Lina, thank you for the support. It is now 10:52 and I have not had a cookie or any of the iced raisin bread.

Craig, you should feel special to be the first to pornalize my journal. I think kuso was quite jealous.

J'Bo, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your help!

kuso, don't be mad for not having an official invite! Thanks for the information on biceps...I'm trying to really work them, they never get sore!!

Princess, you're sweet! That would be cool if you started a new journal like me!

Back to work for now peeps! Thanks for all the love and support!



Posted by: Princess

Hey Miss Ledix~ hey hon.. I wish I had time to start a new journal.. I could do fast replys and all while at work.. but starting a journal will have to take place at my moms.... I think I will just keep mine for now..but I will soon!



Posted by: nikegurl

you go girl! fresh start in a fresh journal with a new routine coming. don't forget for even a minute how much great progress you've made! you'll surely make more but don't be down on yourself. (listen to Lina!)

hmmm.....maybe i need a new journal too. i changed the diet starting today. it might just be time!



Posted by: J'Bo

NG good idea, i wanted to read your current journal but boy is it full.

I am going to start a new one too.
Check out Lina's she has a nice structured template one, maybe she could email us the template



Posted by: nikegurl

what a GREAT idea J'Bo! I started keeping mine a bit easier to read after seeing her example but it's not as clear as it could be - that's for sure.

See Miss LeDix? You lit a fire under all our collective butts!
(thanks, Lady!)



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Princess, I am confused why a new journal would require you to start it at work??

J'Bo and Nikegurl, thanks! I'm glad I've motivated all parties involved!

I'm leaving the office now and will be gone all day! Have a great Monday!



Posted by: Princess

Hey Miss ledix.. well lucky you off for the day???
Remember girl.. I don't have my computer set up at home.. saving for an awesome one! Sooo I use my moms when at her house!! I can do it when I slow down here at work sometime! laters babe..have a great afternoon!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Actually, I went from one office to another for a meeting. But I still got home about 1/2 an hour earlier than usual so that's good!



Posted by: Princess

oh ~ Thats still cool!! Hey~ So your still working out in the mornings huh? Every Morning? Just curious!!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

I work out in the morning, before work. I get up around 4:40 to be at the gym by about 5:30. I do this M-F. Saturday I usually work out at home, jogging or walking. I remember you talking about switching to morning workouts...



Posted by: butterfly

I am SOOOO NOT a morning person



Posted by: Mudge

It goes on easy, and hard to get off isn't it

I try to allow myself to have something maybe once a week (in moderation) so that I can put up with the rest of the week diet wise. Otherwise, to be quite honest, I have had weekends where 1/2 gallon of ice cream is 2 for 1, and I will finish both of them before the weekend is over! So, before I snap and goof up that badly, I'm trying to minimize the damage because once its on, it doesn't want to come off without a fight...



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Mudge, I totally understand what you are saying! I don't have junk at the house (except for almonds, but that's no more)...my main issue is going out with friends or to friends houses... No self control. However, I did not havy any cookies at work today!

Butterfly, you don't like to get up at the butt crack of dawn like me?



Posted by: Princess

I am not a morning person either!!! I have tried it a bunch.. its great ONCE I get to the gym.. but getting up that early is another story!! Miss Ledix I give you a TON Of credit, anD Bow-downs to that!! (and to Fitgirl also..shes a morning riser)
I get up..after the sun!



Posted by: Twin Peak

Hey Miss L -- good luck! After you get to where you want to be Lifeservices makes some low carb cookie mix that you might want to try if you need that cookie fix. I bought some but haven't made them yet, I'll report back to you. There muffins aren't half bad.

Tuesday, June 18

The news today is buzzing over the fence Israel is building around the borders of the West Bank. 1 million dollars per mile (per foot? per something) is what they said. I wonder if it will help? As the news said, it's a desperate attempt to keep suicice bombers out. Oh, what an awful situation.

Today is shoulders, cardio, and abs. Cardio will be 20-30 minutes on the treadmill...intervals of running, walking, and jogging. I usually change my speed every minute or so. I am taking the pull-out section from MF Hers all about abs to give me some ideas for new ab excercises. Shoulders will consist of lateral raises, shoulder press, and I'm not sure what else...may ask some of my friendly gym peeps for some ideas.

Now that yesterday is through, will some of you please take a look at my food from yesterday and give me some feedback? Honest, gritty, doesn't have to be sugar coated, feedback, kay?

Meals For Today
Good News: There is still leftover cookies and such in the break room. I did not have any!
Bad News: I did have a couple of cinammon candies, one small chocolate candy from the candy jar



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Twin Peak, I don't think I need any type of cookie! But please tell butterfly the details before she freaks! She's had one too many Isopure shakes...can you tell???



Posted by: craig777

OK, here is my take on the food.

For post workout I would get rid of the bar and get some protein like Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex, or Whey protein and then eat some fruit with it.

For the other meals with a protein and a fruit I would try to get a complex carb in there like veggies. The fruit has fructose and is going to raise your insulin more than you want it to.

Meals 4 and 5 eat the protein and veggies, or sweet potato, or brown rice. Eat the fruits but sparingly.

The meal with the bread, peanut butter, and preserves is also going to put your insulin higher than you want and there isn't a lot of protein in peanut butter.

I would switch meal 6 and 1 around if you really have to have the peanut butter, and preserves.

The candies during the day are going to raise your insulin also.

The bottom line is you can't lose fat if your insulin is up. So the key is to eat foods low on the Glycemic Index chart.

So now that business is out of the way, have you decided about me chasing you around the room yet.

Good morning Miss LeDix



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Craig, I really appreciate all that feedback! Thank you so much!

And no, I still haven't decided about the chasing yet. I realy need to give it more thought.

Back to work for now!

B -- at lifeservices.com you can order all sorts of low carb stuff. I have tried the bread, breadcrumbs and pancakes/muffins. They aren't bad -- but I have a high tolerance for that stuff. They have three types of cookie mix and some premade ones too, which I haven't tried yet.

Miss L -- Craig, as usual, has provided some excellent advise. His comments are for the truly hardcore however (i.e. contest prep type diet). If you are looking to be unbelievably strict for a given period than take all his advice. I'd also add to that however that any type of dairy inhibits fat loss on MOST people (i.e. the cottage cheese). Also, bars in general are NOT good for cutting -- balance bars in particular are bad. If you must have a bar stick to the designer whey/pureprotein/ or other low carb bars. Also peas have a lot of calories from carbs and should be eliminated especially at the end of the day. And let me reinforce that the sugar preserves and the candy will kill you.

However, if you are just looking to tighten up a bit and eat healthy and not get down to a below 10% BF than I think this is a very good diet. The type of bread you ate and the natural PB are acceptable; the candy and jam isn't. Fruit in this quantity is okay. I'd up the veggies a bit. The rest of the food is acceptable for this type of diet -- it depends on your goals.

I would make a FEW changes however. You aren't eating enough AFTER your workout. The meal following your workout and the next one are the 2 most critical of the day. I assume you workout b/t meals 1 and 2? I'd have that shake first and the shake ONLY. Post workout have the fibre one and a PROTEIN bar, or a shake or more food w/ protein. Meal 2 doesn't have enough carbs so have one of your apples then. Or have some oatmeal (even better) w/ protein powder and a little PB mixed in. This will allow you to TAKE OUT some carbs in the later meals when your metabolism is a bit slower.

I hope this helps -- but it really does depend on your goals!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Twin Peak, I truely appreciate and value your input. I will look at al this (and hopefully more feedback from others) tonight in more detail. Thanks again!

Oh, my goal is to lose about five pounds and tone up...not to be 10% body fat....

Anytime. Assuming you are comfortable with doing that over an extended time and not in less that a month, you know my opinion.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Oh, let me mention this...

Meal 1 is at about 4:45 in the morning, at home.
Meal 2 is at about 7:30, in the car, on the way to work from the gym.

So I can't really 'make' anything for Meal 2, you know?

Thanks again!



Posted by: Princess

Good Morning Miss ledix! I totally agree with Twin Peak! For your goals I think this diet will be good..but watch your sugar!
Your like me, just wanna tone up/ lose 5lbs..(well I just wanna Keep Tone).. sooo I think you will be okay if ya listen to what TP has told ya.. I AM GOING to listen to him too!
Have a great day



Posted by: Leslie2196

I USED to run in the morns before work.Once you start you kinda get into the habit. But lately if I try now- I just keep hitting the snooze button until I would normally get up! I give u mucho credit!! What time do you go to bed??



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hey Princess....Twin Peak does give good advice, for sure! But he still gets on my nerves...in a brotherly sort of way! JUST KIDDING, TWINNIE!!

Leslie, you look like a model in your avatar! I don't have the time to investigate your journal, but I'm sure the salivation has begun. Anyway....I go to bed between 10:00 and 11;00, so I don't really get a lot of sleep...it's not the best situation, but it works for now. Thanks for stopping by!

Sure you can! I do the same thing. I usually have my shake after. I have a shaker bottle that I fill up the night before with whey, soy, creatine, glutamine, BCAAs, and lecithin. I mix with water on my way out of the gym. Add an apple and you are good to go! Or you could have one of the protein bars I suggested. Or you could make some protein muffins before hand (I posted my recipe somewhere) and eat that, or, ...well you get the idea!

If you stubbornly insist on the balance bar than PLEASE beef up the meal you have when you get to the office. This IS NOT (I REPEAT IS NOT) a short term diet fix but a WAY of life -- it is critical for muscle maintainence, muscle growth, cellular recovery and your immune system generally. Did I get my point across?



Posted by: Miss LeDix

You are getting your point across...especially wnen you have to mention my immune system! I take Imuran, which is an immunosuppresant, so I'm always trying to do what I can to stay generally healthy.

Thanks again...will look at all information in more detail later.



Posted by: craig777

Sure TP just drag me through the mud why don't you. Just kidding TP, I think you know your stuff, and I'm glad you put your opinion in.

Miss LeDix, I am surprised at you. We would never ever salivate over Leslie. I just had to put my eyes back in their sockets, but nothing major.

Gee thanks sis! Actually I already KNEW I got on your nerves generally .... but my last post shouldn't have done that!?!? I've been trying so hard to be nice too...

And thanks P!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Your last post did not get on my nerves at all! But I couldn't just compliment you in one post...and not mention our sibling bond! Which is actually very cool since I am the youngest of four girls, and don't have a brother! I do have three brothers-in-law though!

Thanks craig, but again your advice was dead on -- for someone looking to be perfect -- which is impossible except for the VERY few (read that professionals). I think that sometimes the advice here gets to general and forgets real world. Few of these journals are competition-type journals lest we forget! Though not competing -- my current journal IS such a program (and attempt at being perfect -- for 10 weeks). And its obvious from your pics as well as your posts that you know your stuff. Especially how to train back!

Excellent -- as long as you don't hate me, than I can keep giving you a hard time, sis!

Here are a few lines from Pantera's song "Next Level"
Most of the lines didn't pertain to your journal except these. I like the last one the best.

Now a new look in my eyes my spirit rise
Forget the past
Present tense works and lasts

New life in place of old life
Unscarred by trials

A new level of confidence and power

dvlmn...I like those lyrics! I hope I can live up to those words. It's hard though, I am truely a weak being when it comes to sugar and carbs.

Hi lina! I'm okay, you can look at my original journal for details of today's food.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Craig and Twin Peak, thanks so much for the advice...

I've been doing some research on the types of bars that you suggested..and just wanted to make sure I was on the right track.

Designer Bars, is this the right one?
http://www10.netrition.com/designer_...bars_page.html

Pure Protien?
http://www10.netrition.com/pure_protein_bars_page.html

You are saying that my meal plan should look something like this (when I say t/c/t that means tuna or chicken or turkey):

Meal 1, around 4:40 AM, pre gym... protien shake
Meal 2, around 7:30 AM, post gym, in the car...protien bar, 1/2 cup Fiber One (I've got to eat that stuff, for my Chrone's, and for all around health)
Meal 3, at work...eggs and an apple or peach
Meal 4, at work...t/c/t and oatmeal(not so sure about this?)
Meal 5, at work or perhaps at home...eggs again??? cottage cheese? (I'm so confused about the cottage cheese!)
Meal 6, at home...t/c/t with some sort of veggie (broccoli, sweet potato?)

I don't like to eat meals consisting of three things...like having chicken, sweet potato, and broccoli. It's too much food for me to eat at once.

Also, if I eat a bigger meal post-workout in the car, I will have to go ahead and take all my morning pills in the car as well. That's seven pills! I've done that before, but it's not easy while driving.

And for meal 1, pre-workout...I think I may consider making a shake at home for this. The EAS Results for Her (http://www10.netrition.com/eas_weigh..._rtd_page.html) is only 8 ounces or so..not a lot to go on for a workout. Any suggestions for an at home protien shake?

Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Might just have to add them to my signature to keep ya reminded. You can do it, just set your mind to it.



Posted by: Twin Peak

Yup those are the bars. Not all flavors are palatable. For designer I liek the espresso but don't see it on there. For pureprotein I like the PB. I know W8 is on a crusade against bars for there sugar and glycerine contain, but I think they are fine if used wisely AND you are not in a precontest routine.

I think EAS Lite or low carb are decent as well, though not as filling.

You first shake looks fine. Personally I am not a fan of morning, preworkout eating. For me its just coffee. But if you have no enegry when lifting or run out of gas too early than you should get a bigger shake. There are lots of good MRPs (starting but not ending with Metrx) that will provide you with some more protein and carbs. Or you can make your own. My wife gave me a Frontgate Smoothie machine for my first fathers day. I love it. So far I have made great smoothies w/ isopure vanilla whey, vanilla soy, glutamine, creatine, cocoa powder and S/L....mmmmm!

Take your pills AT the gym, right before you leave.

These are my general comments.

Okay. This is better. But here are some thoughts. Meals 3 and 4 switch the oatmeal and the fruit. Mix a scoop of whey into the oatmeal (anything but vanilla is nasty!)

Meal 5 looks fine. Eat your Cottage cheese but keep it low fat. You only NEED to eliminate this and ALL dairy if you are trying to really lean out and get super dry (i.e. contest ready, preparing for that vacation, etc....) Mix a bit of fibre one in and yum! BTW, I am a big fan of fibre one!

Meal 6 -- keep it to veggies for the short term and add that potatoe back in after you reach your goal weight. Doing great Miss L!

I thought you already assumed I spent the time there going from strip club to strip club.

In 97 we spent two months; I had an internship and we were considering moving there. We loved it. What a great, fun city. We did almost everything including the required visit to stone mountain. Hit almost every restaurant -- I love restaurants/bars with outdoor dining!

These are my general comments.
I do not think I can eat a protien shake by itself pre-workout. On one hand, I need some food to give me energy for the gym. On the other hand, drinking a shake alone will give me belly problems. What if I flip flop the bar with the shake? As in, having a bar pre workout...and then a shake with the Fiber One post workout?

I would rather eat six eggs (five white, one yolk) then 3 or 4 eggs AND oatmeal with it...that's alot of food to eat at once! And now you talk about mixing protien powder with it? I know I said I've gained wieght...but I still don't think I need to eat in the same quantities of a man.

Well...in 1997 I started dating my husband and was working an admin job at a pharmaceutical company...so I guess our paths did not cross! Were you here in the summer...did you get to see the Laser Show at Stone Mountain?

I'm glad you liked it...I am ready to get the hell out though! We were both born and raised here...I am ready to go but he is not...

That's odd that you just heard that. That happened at 8:00 am today Isreal time...which is 1:00 am my time...so that was almost 24 hours ago...and you just heard about it?

Yes, it's truely awful. And I just got an email from CNN that said this:

"-- Israel says it will retake parts of the West Bank "as long as terror attacks continue."

Not sure what that means.

Personally, I average only around 5 years in one place before I start getting itchy feet ( and yes, I do shower ) and need to move somewhere...........longest place EVER sinse I was born was 7 years.

Well, I always tell him that since I have three sisters he has three choices... Israel, Baltimore, or Boca Raton. He chooses none, for now. And since we are preparing to buy a home soon (hopefully!) we'll probably be here for a while. He wants to be where the jobs are.

Where all have you lived?

Well, it said just happened on FOX, but it may well have been a replay of last nights program. The tv is on, but obviously I`m online, so it`s just background noise and I can`t see if it has the little "live" caption on screen from here.

That would be fine.

(sigh) Sorry sis, but I HAD to.

Let me repeat, the first TWO meals after a workout are ultra-critical. First, your body absorbs nutrients, protein, and carbs more effeciently then any other times. Second, your metabolism is revved up and can burn the calories than any other time. Third, well isn't that enough? So, what does that mean? It means you need plenty of good clean protein and carbs in those two meals. So you need the eggs AND the oatmeal. I am NOT saying you should stuff yourself to the gil but 1 scoop of whey (25g) mixed in should NOT stuff you beyond comprehension. These ARE not the quantities of a man. I have dropped almost 20 pounds over the last 9 weeks and have been eating MUCH more.

Oh well. I know you know what you are doing and I know that you have your own views, but sis, you HAVE been asking my opinion!



Posted by: kuso

Where is Boca Raton??

Country wise, only Japan and Australia, but in OZ I`ve lived pretty much everywhere other than WA and NT. With my fathers job everytime you got a promotion you had to change states So I had to change schools SOOOOOO many times. Then once we are out of school, he goes and makes his own company

In Japan I`ve moved three times, but all within the same Prefecture.



Posted by: Twin Peak

Yeah, I was there June and July and yes, saw the show. Go to Boca, Boca's great!

Are paths I guess didn't cross -- or maybe they did and you just don't know it!

Kuso-mon, don't you ever sit still? Why don't you all try NYC next -- not your typical city!

I enjoy hearing your point of view. I really do.

But I am not going to mix a scoop of protien in with oatmeal, and then eat that whole thing with eggs! So there, BRO!

I will eat maybe four egg whites with 1/3 cup oatmeal instead of the usual 1/2 that I use.

How's that for a compromise?

No prob sis. Your call.

No wonder you're so friendly and outgoing around here...you had to make lots of new friends growing up!

I am not going to pretend that I know what 'prefecture' means.

Oh, and Boca Raton is in Florida.

I have to go for now...hubbie is home and we need to chat and hug and kiss!

Sit still???? Don`t think I could even if I wanted.

You know, a year or so ago, I would have NEVER even entertained the idea of visiting the states. I`ll probably either offend, or get my ass flamed for admitting this but because of the Americans I meet and work with over here I had such a terrible image of Americans in general This wasn`t based on one or two people.......I lived in a Gaijin house with about 20 of them, plus they are at all the bars, there are about 60 of them at my company...yada yada yada......and only one or two of them are the kind of people you`d go out and have a drink with, the rest just seem to bitch about how Japanese life sux ( so go the fuck home ) or go on and on about how America won the war and the everyday Japanese on the street should be more respectful towards them .

Then I start on these boards and got a kind of culture shock, meeting a bunch of real nice people ( present company INcluded ) and my image has totally changed. I mean, I still don`t like the one`s over here but you guy`s are NO different to my friends back home. And visiting Hawaii was just like visiting the Gold Coast in Oz, the people are just the same.....though you do talk funny

Anyway....not sure where I am going with this post, BUT, if the opportunity came up, I`d love to live in the States for awhile


Oh, and Miss P....a prefecture is the Japanese version of a state

kuso, can you imagine your whirwind tour of the US?

NY to see Twin Peak
GA to see me (and Adidas!)
TX to see Fitgirl, Princess, Butterfly, and Fade
CA to see Pitboss, Sosunni and ALBOB

I can't remember where everyone else lives....! Let's not forget about all the Canadians!

You know it`s funny you say that. I met an Aussie babe over here a few years ago that was married to an American, and she said he`s the nicest guy in the world back home ( they lived in LA ) but becomes an asshole every time they travel

I`m glad I met you guy`s on here too, definitly gave me a different view

And Miss P, that sure would be some tour wouldn`t it??

Wednesday 06/19

It is 4:46 and I have already eaten Meal 1.

Today is leg day which will conist of the usual suspects...leg extension, lying leg curl, stationary lunges, dead lift, calf raises and so on.

I'm trying a slightly different variaion with the food play today (thanks Craig and Twin Peak) so we'll see how that goes.

Meals
The good news is that I did not have any cookies today (yes, they are still in the break room)
The bad news is that I did have a couple of hard candies.

But all in all I'd say this was much better than usual!

TP, Craig...would you say that I should either give up the cottage cheese or the PB...in order to lose some pounds. TP, I know you are a big believer in low-fat diets...you would probably say lose the PB before losing the cottage cheese. Craig, you'd probably say lose them both!

Good morning Miss L!

You are up early today! How do you like the taste of the EAS Results shakes? I used to drink Myoplex and they tasted great! Never had the chance to try the Results since they are fairly new to the market. Thought they had lots of sugar but I checked out your link but the carbs are very low. But very little protein 15g.

What does t/c/t mean in your menu?

You've got some great advice from TP! TP really knows his stuff and I like reading his advice too!!!

Hi kuso!

Have a good day!



Posted by: kuso

Hi lina

What happening?



Posted by: lina

Not much! Rest day for me today.... time to catch up on all these posts! Hey, I see you plan to visit this side the "Dark Side" of the Atlantic!!! When are you thinking about doing this trip? Summer?



Posted by: kuso

LOL....I actually said I`d like to, not I will

Actually, I`ve tried to get there twice now, both times I haven`t been able to get a ticket and have had to change destinations ( Hawaii, and Cairns ) Hopefully third time lucky

With my job, holidays kinda just cum up uninvited, so I really don`t know until the last minute.

I just sat at one of the tables and ate my bar and Fiber One...was looking at the Sports Illustrated for Women...maybe I was looking 'unapproachable'??

That magazine is good...I just might subscribe to it!

Hi Lina. I am up early every day! I really like the EAS shakes...it must be because of the sugar! I'm okay with 15 grams of protien first thing in the day. I may change brands of shakes at some point.

t/c/t means tuna, chicken, or turkey... a little abbreviation!

Isn't that the truth!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

A friend just invited me to a party, she is hosting a 'The Pampered Chef' get together...http://www.pamperedchef.com/index.jsp

Anyone ever been to one of these?



Posted by: Chalcedony

Pampered chef is a dream come true for people who love to cook. ALOT of the utensils and baking pans I have are pampered chef. The parties are fun, becuz the food is normally really good.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hi Chalcedony! I'm not really much of a chef, and I don't have the money to buy any of the products...I don't think I'm going to go.



Posted by: dvlmn666

hey you should go. they have some really cool basic stuff. My cousins wife swears by that stuff.



Posted by: Princess

Hi Miss Ledix!!
Ya, I agree..you should go. You don't have to buy anything..but you might find some cool cheap (maybe) stuff!!

How are u doing tonight doll?



Posted by: kuso

Now this is a strange time to see Miss P and P online

Oh and dvlmn........once I arrive I`ll be there to collect on that JD we talked about previously



Posted by: Miss LeDix

I'm not online, I about to go to bed!

I really don't know if I want to go to the Pampered Chef party. I will feel pressured to buy something, and I all extra monies right now are going towards a down payment. Plus the fact that food will be there...and I doubt it will be healthy!



Posted by: Princess

HI KUSO~! I know, I'm not on much at night.. I'm at my moms house!! Just got done rollerblading!



Posted by: Princess

Hey Honey.. I do understand! We are saving EVERY dime to for our down payment. Well don't go then.. u can always catch it the next time girl!!
sweet dreams and thanks for helping me again today! Your a great friend..even though we have never talked on the phone(I know..my fault) or met!!
bye! have a great workout in the morning...while I am in my NICE soft bed!!



Posted by: kuso

Um....Miss P...it does say online under you terrible avatar

Hiya Princess, how`s things?



Posted by: Princess

I was thinking the SAME thing Kuso!!
I'm great!! how are U??



Posted by: kuso

Wet Just got rained on cuming home from work............oh well, time for some lunch, pack some food for a snack, and back off to work in a couple of hours. Then back on here to porn...post with you guy`s tonight

I`ve got a three day weekend



Posted by: Princess

Hey Kuso! Sorry about getting rained on! yucko!! Well have fun on hear tonight while some of us are sleeping...
AWESOME about about your 3 day weekend.. ENJOY!!!



Posted by: kuso

I most certainly will

And don`t worry, I`m pretty sure lina will keep me company while the rest of you ladies sleep



Posted by: Chalcedony

some of the items aren't pricy at all, in fact one of my favorite items, for slicing veggies is a tiny paring knife, i think it is only 1.99... also they have these microwave bowls, that come in very handy that are pretty cheap too... if nothing else maybe you could think about throwing your own party, and by people buying products at your party , you will recieve items free...

kuso, I was online while I posted that specific message. I was not online by the time you and Princess were having your little chat in here.

Princess, you are welcome! One of the many hats I wear at work is one of 'tech support' so I had a feeling I could help you post those pics. I have a feeling we'll talk on the phone one day though!

Chalcedony, with the way you are talking you are making me want to go to the Pampered Chef thing even less. I am not into sales pitches or sales pressure or anything like that. I am probably not going to go. And I said, one of the main reasons for me to not go is the probability of junky food being served. I really have no will power for that type of thing.

Thursday, 06/20/02

RANT OF THE MORNING! As I've mentioned, we live in apartments, on the third floor. For some reason, our downstairs neighbor does not feel the need to keep his dogs inside the house...so right now there are either one or two dogs on his patio. That are crying and wailing and howling like you would not believe! It really sounds like a person crying. Besides the fact that it's annoying to hear, it's upsetting to me! I mean, my poochie is sleeping under sheets and a blanket with my husband. After all, she is the spoiled and loved Miss LeDix! But even if she wasn't in the bed, she'd at least be INSIDE! Anyway..

What's everyone's thoughts on the Elizabeth Smart case (Salt Lake City)? Sounds like an 'inside job' to me. Sad story.

Another bomb yesterday in Jerusalem. From what I understand, the police were actually chasing this man down the street, but could not get to him in time (before he blew himself up).

We are having dinner tonight with my parents. And if I am the Queen of Non-Pornality..my mom is Queen of all Carbohydrates! I know she is making salmon, but who knows what will be served with it. I think I'll make the rest of the day very low or no carb in anticipation of dinner tonigh. How does that sound TP and Craig?

Today is cardio and abs. Cardio will be on the treadmill and abs will be varios different exercises. I may do some hanging leg raises, I haven't done those in a while.

Meals



Posted by: craig777

Good morning Miss LeDix,

My opinion on your mothers and her carbs, is don't change a thing during the rest of the day. You can't make up for eating bad at a meal, just understand that the one meal will be bad, and oh well. Make your mom happy and eat, you always have to make mom happy.

The only thing I would recommend is try your very best to eat smaller portions, and then stop eating when you know you should.

oh, and I still would be more than happy to chase you round the room for your cardio afterwards. Just had to get that in.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Interesting theory Craig. I'll see what I can do. You assume that I have self control when it comes to carbs.

Sorry babe, I've already done my cardio for the day. Maybe one of the other ladies around here will let you chase them...



Posted by: craig777

Oh well, my type of cardio is a lot more fun.

Have a great day Miss LeDix.

this place is seriously jumpin now days.

how a doin today?



Posted by: Miss LeDix

dvlmn, you're so right! This place is hopping!

Things are fine...very busy at work..LeDix sitting on my lap, she really wants to go out!



Posted by: dvlmn666

wow, seems alot of people's work has gotten busy.

is it nice out over there? And then take her for a walk silly.

I miss my dog. but have to wait til I get a place that has a year until I can get another one.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

It's so hot outside! I am trying to wait until Lance gets home..then we can meet in the parking lot and walk her together.

You mean a yard? I'm sure you're a good pet owner..it'll be worth it when you get a doggie!



Posted by: Twin Peak

Looking good today. If I know I have a high carb meal coming up, I'd stay lower carbs than normal throughout the day. Also, for dinner, fill up on the Salmon and good carbs and then maybe have some stuff you can't resist. This way you don't go overboard.

Which new bars are you gonna try sis?

lol yeah yard, so I can't spell sometimes lmao.

I hope I was and will be, I had to give my last dog up when I had to take 2 jobs. But they have this really cool service up here that is like an adoption agency were they actually interview the people and made sure it's a good home. They even go to there houses. So Lizzy went to a family that had to little boys and lived by a park so I'm sure it was for the best. I'll have to post a pic one of these days.

can't wait for next time though.

and you have a very good reason to wait then. Some good time to spend together



Posted by: Miss LeDix

You did the right thing dvlmn!


We adopted Dixie from a family that already had a dog...and the first dog did not like Dixie, couldn't stand her actually. So she went from a house with three little girls to a house with two adults. But she gets all sorts of attention here..I think she's happy! We are paying $177.00 for the bitch to get her teeth cleaned tomorrow!

I didn't have time to go to the Vitamin Shoppe, so I had to get one bar while at The Farmers Market. It's called Zone Perfect...here's the link http://store.zoneperfect.com/site/content/bars_cpb.asp

I'm going to get some Designer bars tomorrow...and what was the other brand you recommended?

And do you like my new avatar?

Posted by: Twin Peak

Pureprotein. You should buy one of each flavor and see what you like then order them by the box.

BTW, those ZoneCrap bars are aweful! Never tasted them but MORE carbs than protein? Almost as much sugar as protein? As many fat calories as protein? Perfect? Perfectly terrible! Might as well have a damn snickers!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

TP, did I say that I excited about these bars? NO!!! I only bought one, it was an emergency situation type thing. And I still say it's better than eating a snickers! Tough love!



Posted by: Princess

awwwww I am still at work girl! (and its after 5pm~ yucko)
Hope you have a great night!
I Love your new avatar picture..thats a Really great picture of you!



Posted by: Twin Peak

You really do make me laugh sis!

Well, it might be better than a snickers but not a milky way!

And what do you mean "emergency"? You mean that's the only crappy bar they sold?



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Thanks P! I know it sucks that you're still at work...but you'll be sleeping while I'm up and at the gym tomorrow!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

TP....are you still laughing (after reading my PM)?

They sold all sorts of bars...Luna bars, Clif bars, Balance bars...I just chose that one becuase it was RELATIVELY low in sugar and RELATIVELY high in protien. Kay? KAY?

She actually not only has bad breath, but gingivitis as well. Her gums bleed when she chews on her bones...so it's good to get her teeth thoroughly cleaned about once a year.

that makes sense, poor pup. I used to give lizzy milkbones at least one/day to try to keep her teeth clean. it worked as far as I could tell, but she was only 2 when I had to give her up.

I'm starting with a puppy next time again. I can't help it, I had lizzy from 4weeks til she was 2 yrs old. and puppies are sooo cute.

I am about to go home.. have fun at your moms tonight girl!!
Yep...now one dog is inside and one dog is on the patio..and the dog on the patio started crying as soon as he saw Dixie going outside...whatever! My boss think I should report him to the animal cruelty people.

We are leaving shortly to go dinner! So far she said it's salmon and spaghetti!



Posted by: Princess

Thats just too sad!! Don't report them yet.. I would wait a few days!! YOU NEVER KNOW.. ONE may be PUKING sick or something!

OH YUM Spaghetti..be careful!!

TGIF, peeps!

Today I am doing chest and triceps. I just recently discovered that we have an assisted pull up/dip machine so I will finish up my tricep workout with some dips on that. I did them last week and was so sore afterward!

So..this week my split has been this:

Monday: Back, biceps
Tuesday: Shoulders, cardio, abs
Wednesday: Legs
Thursday: Cardio, abs
Friday: Chest, triceps
Saturday: Cardio, abs
Sunday: Off

How does that look to everyone? Any suggestions?

I am always so tired by Friday...five days in a row of getting less than six hours of sleep catches up to me!

I think I just heard that dog whine....

Meal 1: EAS Results for Her Shake (I have to finish up the ones I have), 1 small wheat all natural cracker thingie
Meal 2: Bar (that was mentioned in previous posts), 1/2 cup Fiber One (dry)



Posted by: Twin Peak

Too ashamed to state the name of the bar?

The split looks okay, but I think you need a day off in there! Especially since you sleep as little as I do.

Take Wednesday off and do legs and light cardio on Thursday. The body needs to rest if the muscles are to grow! You need to NOT be in the gym at least 2 days per week.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

I am not in the gym Saturday or Sunday. On Saturday my cardio is done outside walking/jogging/running intervals and abs at home. Does that count as two days away from the gym? Besides, I can't do legs and light cardio in one day....legs me a whole day, you know?

I will take what you say under consideration though.

Besides...I like going to the gym...it's fun...right Adidas?



Posted by: Adidas

I agree with you. The gym is fun. When I look at my schedule I am there 6 days a week but that 6th day is a short yet hard run



Posted by: Twin Peak

I love the gym too but the body needs the rest. Your muscles ONLY grow when they rest. I'd move legs and then eliminate the cardio on thursday. Just my opinion.

Good morning Miss LeDix, I hope you didn't go too overboard at moms last night.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Hi Craig...if you go back a page or two you will see my food entries for yesterday. It was so-so. Could have been better, could have been worse. Thanks for asking!

Posted by: Miss LeDix

Getting 'really' drunk tonight? What's up with that? That's cool...have a good time! I really don't like to drink all that often...what are you going to drink? White zin with sprite? Malibu and pinapple?



Posted by: Miss LeDix

As ya'll can tell...I'm really not good at keeping a journal. I would ask kuso to close this one for me...but he may just refuse my request. I will let this journal lie in a state of dormancy.



Posted by: kuso

Miss P, not too many members do update thier journals on the weekends

I did get really drunk lol. Bacardi Silver was the poison and then Vodka shots finished it off.

I needed some way to forget about the week of hell. But I'm going to stop doin that. It's not good for me, I just need to find a better way of dealing with stuff. I don't drink that often but when stuff is bugging me I have a tendency to drink more, and more often.



Posted by: Princess

Ya, Miss ledix..please don't tell him to close your journal..I love reading it! I hardly ever post on the weekends either..fitgirl doesn't, Fade doesn't, Butterfly doesn't..we all do on occasion though..ya know! stay w/ us chickie!



Posted by: craig777

I agree Miss LeDix, you don't have to update your journal with meals or workouts ever, it is just a place that is yours where we can all go to wish you good morning, or give you a hard time.

Not than anyone on this site ever gives you a hard time.

Good morning Miss LeDix.



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Craig, you are too sweet! Thanks!



Posted by: craig777

You are most welcome.



Posted by: Twin Peak

Did I miss something? You going somewhere sis?



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Nope..just not really good at updating my food and workouts in here, that's all.



Posted by: craig777

NO, TP she wants to close her journal because she never updates with meals or workouts.

I think she needs her cute little bottom spanked.



Posted by: Twin Peak

So what, nether do I!!!



Posted by: Fade99

Is it because you've been eat like crap and don't want us to know??



Posted by: Princess

Good Morning Miss Ledix!! Have a great day today!



Posted by: kuso

Good morning to all in this thread

And Miss P you only get to close one journal every 6 months or so



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Quick entry...feedback please!

Meal 1: Pre gym. EAS Low Carb shake, one small whole wheat natural cracker
Meal 2: Post gym: Designer Protien bar, 1/2 cup Fiber One
Meal 3: Four eggs scrambled (one yolk, three white), 1/2 oatmeal
Meal 4: Turkey meatloaf (made from scratch last night), about 1/2 bag microwave popcorn (it was light!) and about 1/3 cinammon bun.

Someone please kick my ass here! Someone please tell why I can't say no to the salty (popcorn) and the sweet (cinammon roll).



Posted by: dvlmn666

How'd the turkey meatloaf turn out?

Because they were calling your name silly, but you have to start tuning them out.

ok so it didn't work but ya needed it.

The rest of the day looks good though.



Posted by: craig777

Oh, oh oh oh can I kick it, oh please let me kick it.

Miss LeDix, I don't know why you can't say no, it won't help you to reach your goal. In fact it does just the opposite. My wife wants to lose weight so bad, and I try to tell her how to do it, but the other morning she had toast with butter slathered all over it and covered in honey. Then she gets so mad at herself for eating it. I don't understand.



Posted by: Princess

"popcorn" & a "1/3 cinammon bun)



Posted by: Miss LeDix

I know, I know...



Posted by: Twin Peak

Other than the problem meal it looked good!



Posted by: Princess

ya, hes right Miss Ledix.. I just had to give ya a hard time!
Don't stress over it!



Posted by: Miss LeDix

Just had to write in here and tell everyone I was just on the radio for about one minute! OMG...my heart was totally racing!

I didn't win anything, I was just talking about Chrone's Disease...defending it actually.

Oh well..I thought it was cool!
