Carbs are back..

**Jenny** · 03-18-2003, 12:36 AM

.. in my diet..

Yep.. that's right.. I'm going to start eating those evi little bastards again.. Not too many, just more than 30g a day..
And will mainly stay within good carbs, but some other fruits as well (orange, kiwi..

)..

Will do more cardio, at least 5 times a week.. There are a lot of ways to reach your fitness goals, and I will try to find my own..
This just feels so right...
I will have some lower-carb days, and I will mix things up a lot.. And I will have occational cheat days.. But not too often..

Weighttraining will be kept the same.. My split is:

Mon: Shoulders, Abs
Tues: off
Wed: Legs
Thurs: off
Fri: Back, Biceps
Sat: Chest, Triceps
Sun: off

Cardio will vary.. But around 5-6 sessions per week. Will have one complete rest-day a week though..

Alright.. I'm so excited!

**Fit Freak** · 03-19-2003, 04:33 AM

I think this is a good move...IMHO....and if you're doing cardio....I can't see how it will prevent you from meeting your goals. What I can see is becoming a more 'sane' persona that will think about food quite a bit less

Just MO.

**Jenny** · 03-19-2003, 04:49 AM

Thank you Fit Freak!

I have felt like I've been on a constant eat/sleep and train watch.. Feeling like it has really lowered the quality of my life.. I'm in a place in my life where I need to and can have some fun, and this diet will make it easier for me to live it..

I've been obsessed with food and macros for several years, which I will probably continue being.. But now I'll at least be able to have some fruit with my friends..

Thank you, appreciate your input!

**tigress** · 03-19-2003, 04:50 AM

How very odd that I should check this journal, because I feel the same way. Looking back over old photos and videotapes a few weeks ago, I was thinking the exact same thing.

Good luck!

**Jenny** · 03-19-2003, 04:55 AM

Thank you Tigress!

Are you still on the DP/W8 diet?

I remember reading your old journal several years ago on Musclemag..

Superbitch, right?

I remember finding it very inspirational! Just wanted to tell ya!

**kuso** · 03-19-2003, 06:50 AM

Well damn...you sound happier already so thats always good

What the hell is kesella?

And I believe it was superb*tch, not bitch!

**lina** · 03-19-2003, 07:10 AM

Hi NG!

I also wanted to let you know I feel the same way too about carbs and cardio. The carbs keep me sane and feeling 'normal' and not always obscessing about foods. It can really backfire with all this strict dieting, weighing and counting calories, etc.

**Stacey** · 03-19-2003, 09:51 AM

Hey Jen! Seems we all agree withya huh! Pictures can do a lot to a girl!!

Your doing great, and I'm getting lots of ideas from you!
KEEP IT UP!

Yep, happier already! I love this!!

Kesella.. I already explained it..

It's a dairy thing, with almost no lactose.. 100g have 75cals, 13g prot, 3.5g carbs, 1g fat.. I sort of use it as cottage cheese..

Mix with berries and apple/cinnamon/sweetner.. running out of all the stevia Lina bought me.. lol

Ohhhh, sorry, Superb*tch it is!

Yep, that's me!

I haven't resigned from the DP/W8 plan, but have been taking a break while I get some health concerns ironed out.

What's the weather like there? It's the first day of spring and it's freezing here!

Thought it was you!

bartender, right?

Yeah, I read about your thyroid probs..

Not fun at all..

The weather is real sunny here! Have been for weeks.. About 2-10 degrees celsius!

Spring is here!!

**Fit Freak** · 03-20-2003, 04:33 AM

Great to hear things are on the rise for ya NG!

I've said it many times before...it is very difficult to live a 'normal' life and be a peace while enjoying yourself when doinga very low carb diet.

I think this type of diet is great for someone that has a date in mind to reach a goal such a competition or photo shoot but it is definately not...IMHO....a lifestyle diet that allows you to be 'yourself' and 'enjoy' life.

There is definately more to life than worrying if you can have an apple or thinking that if you have some extra rice or a banana you've given up on your diet.

Good choice...carbs in MODERATION....and things should only improve....sleep, attitude, personality, etc.

**Jenny** · 03-20-2003, 04:59 AM

I feel so much better already.. It's such a change.. And I'm still living healthy! Healthier I would actually say, since I don't fall into any binges on this diet.. :rolleys: I feel satisfied!

If you're preparing for something special, then yes, low-carbing is fab! Exactly how I feel about it too!

And if I'll ever do a comp I'll probabaly go low-carb!

I'm so enjoying all my fruit!

**Jenny** · 03-20-2003, 05:55 AM

I really need to rest today.. I don't feel like resting though..

I don't know where all of this energy is coming from!! can someone say carbs!!

No, rest it is.. apart from a lil dance practise.. we're dancing at Davis Cup on the 4-6th April.. If all goes well..

**Fit Freak** · 03-20-2003, 09:43 AM

Right on.....go have an apple...better yet....mmmmmmmmm..maybe even some grapes, papaya, or mango

**Fit Freak** · 03-20-2003, 12:27 PM
