Jenny is improving

Jenny · 10-06-2003, 09:58 AM

Thanks honey, that was sweet

I do see improvements too, I just want it all to happen faster

Jenny · 10-06-2003, 09:40 PM

I'm debating myself wether I should do morning cardio today or not. Am doing a spin class tonight. I guess I shouldn't. This "to do or not to do" is kinda a contant debate inside of me

I've always been a cardio girl! Tried cutting without it once and it didn't work.. But I don't want to lose my muscle mass either

Okay, skipping AM cardio today and eating instead

i would suggest 2 cardio sessions of 20 min a week and no more....but thats just me

right now i am not doing ANY cardio and i am on a 1400, 2200, 2800 cal diet and i am still quite lean.
JMHO.
i would slowly cut the cardio down though.

P.S. i am back. pssst pm

Jenny · 10-08-2003, 07:44 AM

twice a week?? Um, I'm not sure I can handle that..

I LOVE my cardio, I really do! And my spin classes are 45 mins-60 mins. I might start teaching twice a week soon..

Twice a week is too little, at least 4!! Even that would be hard

**Jodi** · 10-08-2003, 08:00 AM

You can't even get me in the gym to do cardio twice a week. Nevermind 4, NEVER, the only time I ever did that was the last 2 weeks before my comp. I haven't done cardio since.

Jenny · 10-08-2003, 08:04 AM

Hey, I thought you liked spinning too

I really enjoy it, it is such a peaceful, euphoric feeling sitting there on that bike (or running) pushing yourself to the limit.. I love it!

Damn, you guys are mean

**Jodi** · 10-08-2003, 08:17 AM

I do but I'd prefer not to do any cardio if I can and I appear to be able to get away with it just fine. Lifting is enough and with the muscle I burn plenty and don't need to do cardio.

Jenny · 10-09-2003, 02:06 AM

Jenny · 10-09-2003, 12:23 PM

Jenny · 10-11-2003, 01:50 AM

Today I'm going to give my mealplan a rest and have a cheat day. I've been sticking to this carb cycling plan for three weeks, and had two clean weeks of low carb before that, which to me is really good. I usually don't last a single week without a cheat

Am going to post everything I've had tonight. Will teach a spin class at 3:00 PM today as well.
I won't stuff myself, I just want a day without rules and meal timing to keep my sanity. I'm going to see Justin in 6 weeks, that is my goal date for now. So, in three weeks I'll have another cheat day. Tomorrow and Monday will both be no carb days.

J'Bo · 10-11-2003, 07:24 AM

its good to have a break hun and you deserve it

just make sure that you eat it before you go to bed so that you dont end up eating poorly all day cause your craving everything under the sun.

Jenny · 10-11-2003, 09:47 AM

Thank's Jen

I have been doing pretty good, my normal meals with some not allowed fruits like banana, some yoghurt and stuff.. This was a little test too to see if I could loosen up without binging, and I can

Taught a kick ass spinning class. 60 min, I thought I was going to die during the last song. Pushed myself so friggin hard

Need to make the most of the cardio sessions I'm allowed you know

Jenny · 10-11-2003, 02:47 PM

Confession time

Wrote it all down as I ate, so I won't forget anything.. At least I'm an honest cheater

CHEAT day :

Meal one:
Protein pancakes (7 whites, 2 yolks, 1/2 c oatmeal, sweetner)
almonds
apple, Banana
sugarfree chocolate (w. maltitol & aspartame

)
Milk

Meal 2:
Protein pancakes
Sugar free yam
Orange juice
1 piece swedish hardbread w. butter
Clementine

After spin snack:
1/2 cup yoghurt
bran flakes
almonds

Meal 3:
5 oz chicken
brown rice
veggies
apple, clementine
2 glasses of wine

Meal 4:
Protein pancakes (haha, I REALLY like my pancakes

)
almonds
apple, clementine
sugarfree jam

Workouts:
*Cardio: 60 min kick ass spinning (I was sooo tired during the last songs but couldn't show it since I was teaching it, so pushed myself harder instead

)

So that wasn't a super terrible cheat day. At least not anything super sugary and stuff

This is what I felt like eating and it was nice not really thinking and measuring. Now I have 2 no carb days to look forward to

J'Bo · 10-12-2003, 02:13 AM

that is the slackest cheat day i have ever seen...but great to see love

your doing so great

Jenny · 10-12-2003, 02:37 AM

Thanks hon!

I have been good with my diet and workouts, but still I don't see all that much change in my body. I'm thinkning of switching it up a little. Maybe No,high, no, low. What do you think J?
And Jodi and Leslie?

Jenny · 10-12-2003, 05:05 AM

Sunday 12th (special day

)

Meal 1:

Nice clean cheat.

I could have never done that.

I would not change your plan around yet. It hasn't been long enough. I'm sure there are changes and you cant see. I never did either until I did measurements and pics. I did weekly pics and looking at them I from one week to the next, I saw changes, lots of changes. You just don't notice it on yourself.

Eggs · 10-12-2003, 09:58 AM

I totally agree with that Jodi... because we look at ourselves in the mirror every day we dont notice differences because our minds picture of us changes daily without noticing the larger differences. However, looking at pics a month or two later its like - "Wow, I'm lookin hot!"

Jenny, stick to it for a little bit longer honey... probably should give it a few more week at least before tweaking it much. Looking at the pics that you've sent me I do see changes

We're our own worst critics

Its a gift and a curse

Mmm, the 12th

J'Bo · 10-12-2003, 10:55 AM

Yes babe i agree with eggy and jodi...stick with it for a while longer and then maybe just try to switch some fruits around, perhaps different types of fruits and healthy carbs are better for your body. We are all here to support your sexy ass and we will help you get to where you want to go, just trust Jodi in that she will help you get there

Jenny · 10-12-2003, 11:15 AM

okay..
My ass is not sexy right now, it's FAT

What kind of fruits should I get rid of? Clementines and pears? Cause that is all I've had except for apples.

My pants are still tight a and I hate it, I'm allergic to tight pants that aren't supposed to be tight!!

**Jodi** · 10-12-2003, 01:08 PM

You could have apples & peaches if you want instead. They are a healthier choice for fruit.

It doesn't really matter though because the fruit is to fill liver glycogen and anything small takes care of that.
