Taking Control

Most definately Leslie, thanks

You should be having carbs pre and post workout on your carb days.

You will have more energy for your workout.

180G is good

Send me your measurement please. Email is fine if you like.

**Jill** · 11-24-2003, 12:35 PM

I'll email you measurement later today!

Do you think It will effect my results If I dont eat my carb meal before my workout? My energy levels are fine. As you can see I just really dont want to waste my carb meal some days at 5 am!

**Jill** · 11-24-2003, 12:36 PM

Im sorry I am so difficult.

Its not just about the energy level. Your body can handle the insulin better first thing in the morning because you are more depleated and on the edge of being catabolic upon wakeup. That is why you see soo many bodybuilder drinking a shake with simple sugars first thing in the morning. The carbs will be used beter first thing in the morning and after your workout.

Your not difficult

How about a compromise.

I eat a carb meal B4 my workout on a HIGH day. Then the other 2 carb meals later on. And on my LOW carb day, I eat my carb meal post workout, and then later in the day.

**Jodi** · 11-24-2003, 01:02 PM

DEAL!!

Except on High carb day a carb meal before and AFTER your workout.

**Jill** · 11-24-2003, 01:17 PM

Yes, this is great!!!!!!!!!!!

**naturaltan** · 11-24-2003, 01:47 PM

Keep listening to all the advice given and you'll soon see some great changes. These ladies know what they're doing.

**Jill** · 11-24-2003, 05:38 PM

I know

**Jill** · 11-24-2003, 10:05 PM

Hey Jodi, I know my protein was a little wacky at a few meals today. Im gonna aim for 30g per meal, hows that sound? I was shopping tonight and saw the tonnes of xmas candy and chocolate. I wish I could have bought some.

Check your email soon with my measurements!

**Jodi** · 11-24-2003, 10:18 PM

I just got it. I think your measurement are skewed because I don't think you have 31" arms and if you do there will be alot of jealous guys out here. Check it out and send again please

**Jill** · 11-24-2003, 10:23 PM

Oops

, just re-sent them. Instead of 1/2 an apple, could I have a xmas orange? They are real small, smaller than a tennis ball. What do you think of the 180g of protein per day?

**Jill** · 11-24-2003, 10:24 PM

Oops again, I mean 30g of P per meal?

**Randy** · 11-24-2003, 10:44 PM

Hey Jill,

That's a nice Santa you have there

**Jodi** · 11-24-2003, 10:45 PM

30G Protein per meal is perfect. You mean clementines, yes you can have a whole clementine instead of 1/2 apple

For anyone who reads this, I read in another journal about BCAA helping with vis fat. Im trying to burn fat, especially in the stomach and hip/butt/thighs. Gee, thats almost everywhere!

The post was by hardasnails1973, and he 'swears' by taking them. Will taking BCAA benefit me, in helping to get rid of stubborn bodyfat? Help, please!

**naturaltan** · 11-26-2003, 03:26 PM

I'm no expert, but I have seen how the eating routine you're doing now along with lifting weights regularly will make the changes you want in time. Unfortunately, some people expect changes right away when in fact it takes a while to make dramatic changes.

**Jill** · 11-26-2003, 05:25 PM

Thanks NT

Workout are going wicked!!

Doing shoulders and cardio today. I luv doing shoulders

**tucker01** · 11-27-2003, 10:27 AM

Not to be shit disturber Jill, but whats up with all the cardio

Mind you, I guess I just can't stand doing it.

I have seen excellent results in the past with just weight training.

**Jill** · 11-27-2003, 10:46 AM

I used to be a cardio junkie-5X a week, 1 Hour!

I've really cut it down. 3X a week, 30 mins. P.S. Your not a shit disturber, I like all the input I can get! I have my weight training down pat, I just dont post it cause 1. It would be way too much typing. 2. I think its kinda boring to read

IMO

**tucker01** · 11-27-2003, 11:37 AM

That is good about the Cardio

, I am sure you have heard all the news about Cardio from Jodi. Mind you it does have its place It does have its place, just in moderation.

I like to keep my Weight training in here just as a journal, to compare where I am at from previous sessions. It is alot of typing, but I just try to short form it as much as possible

**jstar** · 11-27-2003, 01:27 PM

Hey Jill,

about the bcaa's I think you read that in my journal. I am going to start taking them probably in a couple days so I will let you know if I see any diff. I am just going to get some cheapo ones and let them dissolve in my water and drink it throughout my w/o. Good job on the diet. I am having a hard time with mine but I love to read how others are sticking with it and seeing changes. Helps me stay motivated
