Thread: Taking Control

I won't drink either, it doesn't appeal to me. Besides if I want to cheat, I will cheat with FOOD!!! He he any plans for tonight? I am probably staying in too! My inner thighs are still killing me!!! Everytime I go to sit down, ouch! Nice back workout When you're sore you know you're working hard. Have fun tonight, be safe!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

The first thing you need to do is stop eating carbs on no carb days

We'll deal with this when you get back from vacation

I know- I havent been carb cycling for a while now-been eating alright. Gonna get back to cycling after holidays! And I plan to start a new journal!

Thursday, Jan 1 2004!

Meal 1 - PRE- 1/2 cup oats, 1 scoop protein
Meal 2 - POST-Protein pancake, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1 TBS sf suryp
Meal 3 - Detour bar Atleast it wasnt popcorn or resses pieces-I brought this in with me to the movies, and a diet iced tea!
Meal 4 - 3 oz lean ground beef mixed with cottage cheese and tiny bit of oats. 1 apple

Too many carbs today-ok though, I had such an intense workout my body needs it, I hope!

WORKOUT:

Chest n Tris. 30 mins cardio

Getting ready to leave-in just a few hours I will be on a plane to mexico, yipeeee! Havent been posting too much lately, I've just been too busy. I'll see ya all in a few weeks! I'll post some pics when I get back. Everyone keep training hard and keep you diets in check-probably cause mine wont be ! Bye bye for now.

Have fun I wish I was going somewhere warm

Its -38 with the windchill-im glad to be getting outa here!

Im back, and I had a wonderful time! Great weather, killer tan. Bad side, got fat-real fat. Just got in and I gained 10 pounds, hopefully some of it is just water weight. Did weights for about a week, but ate like a little piggy-not a heck of a lot of control when it comes to buffets and sweets! Here are just a few things I ate- bacon, omlets, bread with butter, TONNES of margaretas and pina colidas, icecream almost daily, lotsa desserts/pasterys, rice, meat and veggies. What did I expect? Im starting carb cycling tomorrow (mon) and a new journal. Gonna do measurements and pics too! I am determined to lose the fat for summer. See ya all!

Hey Jill!

I'm glad you had a good time on your vacation! Don't worry too much about what's been done, you can't change it anyways. Just treasure it as a nice food memory and get back on the plan

And no more cheating The first days will be hard cause your body will be craving all that it got used to, but keep that chin up and go back to work

Hey Jill! glad your back and enjoyed your vaction! as Jenny said try not to worry too much over the small damage in your diet done, just means that nows time to get back on track and serious!

Welcome Back Jill! Sounds like you had a blast, I am very jealous.

Thanks all. Feeling fat makes it easier to get back on track. Im glad to be home, Im so excited to go to the gym and do cardio! And real weights-the gym at my resort was crap!

awwww Mexico~ Glad you had a great time!!!!! Where did you go in Mexico?? I love going there!

Sounds like a great time. Wow, a 10lb gain ... Mexico was good to you. Now it's time to get serious and lose the weight you want to. No more cheats ... no more missed workouts ... no more excuses. You seem to have the drive, now to put it to work.

Good luck

Nt-8 pounds as of this am, still hoping that some of it is water! Stacey, I went to the Mayan Riveria, loved it! Ill post some of my fat beach pics soon! You're right though NT, no more excuses, no more cheats. I'm really determined this time around. Im even taking before fat pic right away, no holding in the stomach!

You're right ... no more excuses or cheats. I told the missus that if she puts in a very strict 12 weeks, she'll be amazed at the changes she can make. I know you can do the same!!

good advise NT

12 weeks isn't much ... it goes by so so quickly.

MY GOD- Just took fat pics, good they are sick. Its REALITY! Hope fully in weeks to come I can do some before and after shots for ya all. NT good luck to the misses! Is she goin to Jen's camp this weekend in Calgary? I would have loved to go but I just took 3 weeks off of work, I cant take anymore time.

Yep ... in fact, she is going to meet two other ladies from Edmonton and maybe split a room. If it's any good and you're interested in going, I could have her talk to you about it. She is pretty excited about the trip.

She's on week #2 of proper eating and going to the gym and she's lost 3lbs. I guessing that with the intense weekend, she might even loose a couple more pounds. Then she'll be into the fine tuning area ... loosing that last 5 pounds tends to be a little more work.

What does the misses want to be at? Whats her weight etc.. right now?
