I may try to find some almond butter when I run outta pb.

Thanks about the workout, I went in without a plan, and it just felt good. Feels great to be lifting again, but I feel like a pansy lifting light weights.

tigress

Ugh. What's up with my dreams? I dreamt that i was eating nacho chips with shredded chicken, jalepenos, cheese, and it was good. Since I haven't been suffering from cravings while awake, I am not sure where that came from.

Food looks the same as yesterday, with tuna replacing lobster. Training, well, I am waiting to see if my bis or tris will allow me to do either chest or back today. If not, then I will go anyway and do abs and calves and some stretching.

Thanks NG, we were both thinking of food in the middle of the night, but I was only dreaming BTW, I like your avatar, and your sig.

nikegurl

thanks - maybe my cookie raid starts as a dream and i sleepwalk lol. it is sort of weird though - i don't really think about should i eat them. i just do it. i'd never do that in the middle of the day. (excuses excuses.)

my signature is making me more mad at myself. no wonder i'm always "wanting" to get my body a certain way and never quite doing it. cookies. i've done it before and not cheated or slipped even the slightest for months but now i can't even go a week. really mad at myself....but i won't rant on in your journal.

(oops)

DP, I am taking a multi with my last meal, and that's it. Should I add anything else? I have a fully stocked cupboard at home, glutamine, creatine, herbal and vitamin pills.

My tsh was low, so the doc put me on synthroid, that means that I will not be able to use any thermos during this cut. My last blood test put my tsh smack in the middle of the normal zone so that shouldn't hinder my progress. I take it in the am, and can't take anything else at that time.

tigress

Get rid of those cookies. If they aren't there, you can't eat them.

Training schedule for the next few days-
thurs- abs, decided to take it off, rest sore muscles
friday- chest
sat- back
su-legs
mon-abs, off
tues-delts
wed- tris and bis

My water consumption and sleep have been dead on since Friday.

Dr. Pain

When you run out of that vitamin.......you want to move taking it to the morning...the catch is that iron can impede the synthroid, so you may want to go "iron free"...and then if you drink 5-6 L a day.......a multi-mineral complex at meal 5 or 6 would be good, possibly with iron.

You and everyone else here don't need thermos, we can do it all w/nutrition!

DP

tigress

Thanks DP!

I looked for a multimineral complex, and can't find any around here. I will check with W8 to see where she gets hers. I knew that about the iron and synthroid, which is why I just take it alone to be sure. I will see about finding something iron free when I am out. Then I will need something with iron for sure, because I don't eat mammals, which means no red meat.

Mon-fri I hit 6+ liters easily. Unfortunatley, sat and sun I usually fall short because I am running about and don't have access to a bathroom and water. I will work on that.

tigress

DP, is there a rate at which I am supposed to be losing? I think I am just losing the bloat that I had from my Maui trip, because when I left for it in Dec I was 174, and that's what I am at right now. It's been 1 week, but I know that first bw I posted was off by at least 2-3 lbs.

Please, please, please, please don't make me eat more right now. It's all I can do to get this much food into me.

Dr. Pain

IS'T NOT ABOUT BW!

You could lose a pound of BF and gain a pound of LBM......and the scale would say "NO CHANGE"....but that is a 2 POUND CHANGE!


Only measurements, skinfolds, your clothes and the mirror...can tell you how you are progressing

We use the scale to make sure we aren't dropping too fast, and scarificing LBM.

DP

tigress

Well, those things are telling me to work HARDER!!!

Just kidding, I wasn't expecting a big change after week 1.

tigress

DP, can I please have a cheat meal tomorrow?

tigress

I haven't slipped up all week.

the worst i had was 2 diet cokes on different days, and 1 bowl of sf jello w/cream.

please?

Dr. Pain

Well the way I see it you have 2 choices

1) Define cheat, and what you will or might be eating? Pledge that you will stop and stay in control in no less than 250 words...be convincing

2) Convince w8 to go W/O today...and that it had better be Kick ASS!

DP

tigress

OMG! This is such a good idea! Making me write out how I will stay in control will help me do exactly that! Good idea! (will flattery help me get this cheat?)

define cheat: 1 meal where I eat what I want

what I will eat(probably): pizza, vegetarian with cheese, 1 glass wine, 1 martini, a dessert or whatever you think I can safely have without screwing up my cut.

how I will stay in control: eating my normal meals (maybe a bit smaller) the rest of the day will have my hunger under control, and I will tell my husband that he can use my journal to tattle if I get unruly.

You didn't seriously think that I would take the second option? There is no way I could convince that starving, 34% gay chick to workout hard simply so that someone other than her would end up getting a cheat meal?!?!?

tigress

Today is the first day I have had when I was tempted to cheat. The chocolates and other crap around the office was looking attractive today.

w8lifter

Damn...I gotta start reading this journal before I read my own

tigress

HEY! You KNOW that I mean that in the nicest possible way! I was reading your journal, and you are starving right?

w8lifter

Yeah I know...but I said yes to my kickass W/O w/o knowing that I was getting you pizza and sugah! That's not right

tigress

i think it worked out well for me!

Dr. Pain

ROTFLMFAO!

I don't approve.....BUTT....I will look sideways to just to hear your husband's report,
and avoid a Group mutiny binge!

Stick to your plan above ...and know........it won't help the way you think it will.....the pizza dough and dessert
will haunt you for a long time :guilt:


DP

tigress

Thank you! I will see how i feel after the pizza, dessert may NOT be necessary, but then again, who knows when you will agree to another cheat?

Didya notice? I accomplished both 1 AND 2 on your list

Update on today-
replaced meal 5 (eggs and pb) with 6oz lobster and 1 tb mayo. It was YUMMY!

I just got home from working late/driving in snowstorm/groceries, so chest is not going to get done tonight. Which means tomorrow will have to be chest and back both. I have done them together before, but not at the intensity i am planning for tomorrow. Hope I have lots of energy after my sat am fun time and snowshoeing.

Also, tomorrow I am going snowshoeing for at least an hour.

w8lifter

Sorry to disappoint, but I forgot an exercise, lol.

Does that mean she doesn't get her cheat? .....can I have her cheat?

Dr. Pain

Depends on what you did with the exercises you remember....I'd say your done for a week with 25 almonds...LOL....I noticed you didn't drop any this time

DP

Jodi

LOL! Enjoy it while you can!
