    Hi pali er I mean Lina

    Nope haven't checked my PM's yet. Just getting myself started here!

    I have a couple comps to pick from -- most likely early fall. I will update when I decide. I do not look like my last summer pics -- ugh the body fat is awful. I went from endurance sport training to a bulk with no transition. The body fat went up literally overnight. Despite my attempts to drop the bodyfat I was still high for me. So off to an naturopathic docotor I went. Had my thyroid checked and am now on meds.

    I am no longer working with "that trainer" but am engaged to be married to a different trainer. I also got my certification -- but decided I liked being a SAHM much better.

    Off to check my PM's.

    I don't plan to really deviate from the meal plan that I have from Beverly. So it will be the same day after day. Today is 4 meals or my low cal. low carb day......

    Meal #1
    1 whole egg + 3 whites (deviated -- a yolk broke and fell into the pan with the already cooked ground turkey -- it was beyond rescue!)
    3 oz. 99% FF Ground Turkey Breast
    1/2 Grapefruit w/pkt. of Splenda
    Lots of Hot & Spicy Mrs. Dash

    Meal #2
    2 scoops Muscle Provider
    3 strawberries
    1 tsp. Udo's Choice Oil

    Meal #3
    5 oz. Chicken
    Big Bowl full of Raw Spinach
    2 tsp. Udo's Choice Oil (mixed with spicy mustard and SF Peach Davinic Syrup)

    Meal #4
    2 scoops Muscle Provider
    3 strawberries
    1 tsp. Udo's Choice Oil

    1+ gallon of water
    Crystal Lite

    Shooting for no added caffeine today -- (it is in the MuscLean). That means no diet pepsi (my favorite -- 2nd of course is Diet Dr. Pepper Kristi ) and no coffee. I can do without the coffee most of the time!

    Today is supposed to be my rest day but -- am re-thinking since I carbed last night -- shouldn't I use the glycogen for lifting? Feedback anyone???

    Hi craig777!
    Why not use your carb-ups the night before your Legs and the night before your Chest/Back so your glycogen stores are filled and you have a better w/o? Otherwise those fills are going to waste on a rest day and Bi's/Tris JMHO

    Gave in to the Diet Lemon Coke -- so much for no added caffeine today! And I didn't utilize my glycogen stores either -- unless repairing my sore ass and legs counts. They are SO SORE!!! I am tired, tired, tired --------- UGH! I get to have my last meal (#4) shortly and I am hungry for it. I am going to switch up my workouts as advised and get better use of my carb-ups. I am working on this tonight! Will repost later.

    Meals look perfect Tess!

    tip for ya: You should 'edit' your original post so that all your meals for that day are together and it's easier for people looking at your journal.

    How does the Peach Syrup taste? I like their syrups!

    I forgot to ask you, what kind of thyroid meds you taking? I'm taking Levoxyl and am pretty happy with it.

    Hi Lina!
    I am taking Nature-Throid or NT-1. My doc is still playing with the dose -- at first I took 1 in the morn and 1 in the eve. Did that for 4 weeks and no change in body temp. Symtoms appeared to get better but not optimal. I was off the meds. for 4 days -- before going back for my follow-up -- I felt like complete shit. Extremely lethargic! Now I am taking 2 in am and 1 in pm -- and other than still feeling lethargic all my other symptoms have gotten better. And my body temp is back on the rise.

    Thursday -- Carb-Up Day

    Not going to list supps -- just taking them. I am leaving out the MuscLean today to see if that is affecting my energy levels. I read on the Beverly site of others who complained of it making them tired?????

    Workout: 30 min HIIT -- I rearranged my workout to take advantage of my muscle glycogen after the carb-load. So tomorrow will be chest & back.

    DF said I look like I have dropped bodyfat -- he could tell when he hugged me!

    I will let him "caliper" me tomorrow!

    Meal #1
    3 oz. 99% Lean Ground Turkey
    4 egg whites
    1/2 grapefruit w/pkt. Splenda

    Meal #2
    2 scoops Muscle Provider
    3 strawberries
    1 tsp. Udo's Choice Oil
    SF Davinci Syrup

    Meal #3
    5 oz. (before cooking) chicken
    Big Bowl of Romaine
    2 tsp. Udo's Choice Oil (+ mustard and SF Davinci Syrup)

    Meal #4
    Same as Meal #2

    Meal #5
    1c. (pre-cooked) oatmeal
    6 oz. sweet potatoes
    1 can green beans
    1 small banana
    1 tbsp. Natural PB

    Have a great day!
