HEELLPP!

Julie7Ulie · 05-13-2003, 02:31 PM

So its time for me to eat now. Meal #4. I screwed up and had grapefruit with Meal #3. I totally forgot grapefruit was an appetite suppresant. Blah.

Dont feel like eating.

I will though.. *sigh*

No more moaning.

I feel better. Going to go eat now.

Nice meal planning

Are you substracting the fiber? How you feeling? You still enjoying it?

Julie7Ulie · 05-14-2003, 06:52 AM

Thx!

Im subtracting the fiber.. I feel funny though. I feel like since Im not counting it, I can get away with eating lots of green veggies. These calories dont count?

**Jodi** · 05-14-2003, 06:57 AM

No fiber calories don't count because our body can't process it. Are you subtracting the fiber from your carbs too?

Just stick to 1 - 1.5 C. Veggies unless its Salad Greens then 3 C. or so is good, I never really measure salad greens.

Yes, Im subtracting the greens out of my carb count, thats why my numbers are kind of off.

Julie7Ulie · 05-14-2003, 08:52 AM

Tomorrow is Pilates, and Friday is legs.
Im starting a new workout routine next week. Let me know if this sounds ok.

Mondays - Chest/Biceps, Cardio
Tuesdays - Shoulders, Cardio
Wednesdays - Back/Triceps, Cardio
Thursdays - Pilates
Friday - Legs, Cardio
Saturday and Sunday - sit on my butt.

Oh, and I dropped two more pounds this week.

(just for my journals sake, I had to record) - I wont be obsessed with the scale, Jodi.

My body is already responding.

Well take it a step further now. Subtract the fiber from your oats and grapefruit etc......

Subtract the fiber from oats and grapefruit?
So since one medium grapefruit has 20 carbs and 2 grams protein, I mark it down as 18 carbs, right?

If so, got it. However, string beans I didnt count at all yesterday and it has 4 grams carbs w/o the fiber. Does this matter?

Yes but of course

Starting Monday, let me know if Im benefitting the most out of my workouts. What Ive been doing is working, I guess.. But Im ready to do more.

I'll add abs Tuesday and Fridays.

Mondays - Chest/Biceps, Cardio
Tuesdays - Shoulders, Abs, Cardio
Wednesdays - Back/Triceps, Cardio
Thursdays - Pilates
Fridays - Legs, Abs, Cardio
Saturdays and Sundays - Sit on my butt

Don't even bother counting veggies. Don't add them in fitday don't even add them at all. They don't count at all. When doing your planning pretend they don't exist.

Your other carbs, oats, grapefruit, sweet potatoes, brown rice, berries, apples etc. To find the effective carb count subtract the fiber from them. For instance my Oats have 30 G Carbs per 1/2 Cup. There are 5 Grams of Fiber so when I minus the fiber I'm actually only eating 25G of Carbs from my Oats. Does this make sense? I want to see the effective carbs that your eating because I don't think its enough carbs. I may need to get more advice on this but first but I'd like to see the actual totals.

Wouldn't you want to move legs in between some of that upper body work. Thats alot of upper body right after another. JMHO!

So are you going to increase your exercises and your intensity? Whats your plan?

Julie7Ulie · 05-14-2003, 09:44 AM

You're right, maybe I'll swap Fridays and Tuesdays..

I want to increase my exercises to be sure Im working all areas of the muscle targeted for that day. However, I want to stick to high repetitions with a heavy enough weight to pull it off.

I tried heavier weights with lower repetitions once before and I felt too bulky. Maybe things will be different now that my diet is different. At this point, I like to think my body is being trained to respond the way I want it to, so I'll try anything different and see what happens.

**Jodi** · 05-14-2003, 09:58 AM

Do you need help or do you just want me to provide feedback once you list your w/o's.

Julie7Ulie · 05-14-2003, 10:04 AM

**Jodi** · 05-14-2003, 10:10 AM

What are you doing now for w/o? List what you do

Julie7Ulie · 05-14-2003, 10:11 AM

Hey Jodi, Ive been reading through the threads and wondered if Im allowed tofu.

I guess I have a couple questions about why some foods arent on the list..

**Jodi** · 05-14-2003, 10:14 AM

I don't see why you would want to eat Tofu but yeah you can have it every now and then.
