Kim's Journal

Hi!

I dont know how everyone does these journals every day, but I will try my hardest to be as consistent as possible.

Are there on-line trainers or moderators that Im supposed to ask for advice as I go along?

My stats:
Female
5'1.5"
22 yrs old
117 lbs (weighed myself this morning)

Unaware of my measurements, but I fit into a comfortable 4, a snug 2.

Activities:
Run
w/o - moderate weight lifting
Surf
rollerblading
kickboxing

Goals:
To tone up. Nothing drastic - but I want to pay attention to what I do this time

I dont eat much, and as I read through the links and advice of the Body Builders, I definetely dont have the same goals as everyone else.

I dont enjoy meat as much as everyone - though Im not exactly a vegetarian. I try to eat healthy, and even though a lot of the foods I eat you probably think is bad, I dont think its TOO bad.

Foods yesterday 7-15-2003

Breakfast - Oatmeal and a banana with some granola

Snack - Fit Yogurt w/ 9 grams of sugars, and a red apple

Lunch - Turkey sandwich on wheat bread, tomato, lettuce and mustard, small bag of pretzels

Snack - Cliff bar

Dinner - grilled chicken breast with teriyaki sauce and broccoli

Snack - Tea w/honey and a graham cracker

I drank about 5 - 6 bottles of water yesterday (normal for me).

Workout:
Abs and legs with 5 lb. ankle weights
Ran 4 miles yesterday at different speeds and inclines.
10 minute stretch

Thanx Jodi. As a moderator, do you only look for a certain type of diet plan? Or are you all pretty much open to different styles?

Also, is everyone here cutting as you call it? Are there any journals you suggest?

Hi Sawheet, Not really with the before pictures, I am not planning on anything that drastic anyway.

I have a lot of pictures on my computer I can put up though. I'll find some and paste them in my journal.

No I am open to many styles and suggestions. For myself, I do prefer some plans over others and alot of that is just through experimenting and trial and error.

Check out my journal, Julie, JBo, Shortstuff...........those are some good ones to follow because we are all pretty consistant about updating them everyday.

You eat alot of carbs, but you seem real active. I have to up my carbs when I am doing heavy activity as well, I use the cliff bars when I am climbing and stuff. You may want to up the fat with flax seed oil to help with the sugar cravings (if any). Listen to Jodi and JBO and the others, they know there stuff

If your goals are endurance and the long distance activities I don't see a huge problem, but with lifting I might see eating a little more protein, but it isn't a huge amount of food but what do i know LOL

Thanx Shortstuff. Those are old pictures anyway.

I mean, I dont have many problems with myself as in weight or activities - maybe everything is just working because of my metabolism?

I'm not in Vegas ... I'm just excited about our trip there. There are a handful from this forum meeting in Vegas in October. Swingers ... I don't think I've seen that movie - but it sounds interesting.

Kim,
I think you need more veggies in your diet and a bit more protein. Other than if you are just trying to stay healthy I think your fine.

My suggestions:

More Green Veggies
More Proteins
EFA's

Jodi, thank you for the advice - do you suggest any sources of protein besides meats?

Cottage Cheese
Eggs
Legumes
Protein Powder
Tofu
Tuna or any Fish (or do you consider this meat)
Veggies - a cup of broccoli alone has 9G Protein in it

You vegetarian? You should think about reducing a bit of your carbs and replacing them with more GREENS

Not really a vegetarian, I just hardly eat meat. I dont dislike it, I just dont like it. lol!

I HATE tofu. (i really like these smilies)

Legumes like beans? I think the only things I can actually manage to eat every day are the cottage cheese, maybe the powder and veggies. That wont be enough, will it?
