Cutting it Down

Leslie · 01-11-2004, 08:54 PM

Hey folks. Figured a new year and new plan plan called for a new journal
Though I havent been posting, I have been a very good gal when it comes to eatting and training-recently anyways. The holidays started of good and then a couple days during New Years in AC was harsh.

Free food and drinks sure can slip you out of good thinking

It was a fun time though. I have been back on track since 1/3.
Couple of changes so far.
Training
I am back to training one body part per week. Push/Pull was fun and I am certain I didnt le tmyself get the full benefit formit. However, I found myself slacking abit through the workouts

Mentally I feel better with higher volume training. My workouts have about 15-18 working sets fo reach part. This is very similar to Jodi's old workouts. I am having a good time with it for now and am once again getting
sore. Havent been sore PWO in a while. Running is no longer happening as I have some sort of ankle/shin pain so I ceased the runs. Its been about a week and my foot is feeling better. I am the precor about 2-3 times per week for 30 minutes for now.

Diet
I have dumped the refeeding diet, known as Akaimi's Diet. I was to start the carb cycle but right now I am in a chicken drizzled with salad oil mood more so than carbs.

I am not sure what "plan" I am doing but I am averaging about 1800 cals per day and meals go somewhat like this:
Meal One
3 eggs
4 whites or 1/2 c CC
1/2 c oats

Meal Two
4-5 oz Chicken
2 Tbsp Newmans Balsmic
4 fish caps
veggies

Meal Three
4-5 oz Cicken or 1 can Tuna
1 Tbsp Light dressing
5 fish or 1 tsp flax
1 apple
veggies

Meal Four
Same as meal 3 with 2-3 strawberrie sin place of apple

Meal Five
1 c CC
1 Tbsp PB

I think this will be for another week or so, until I can figure out what I want to eat

Plans
Another thing I am unsure of. I have a fire under my ass right now as I am very motivated. I have almost like a precontest bug

I would like to compete this Spring but there are many changes going on right now and will know more later.

Supplements
I have finished a lil more than bottle of ECA. I plan to stop for two weeks and resume again.
I will also be using LIPO starting tommorow.

Measurements
My BW shot up a few pounds after New Years

and finally seems to have settled back to normal.
I will take measurements within the next few days and will be happy if they are equal to my last ones posted.

Well I think thats enough for now, lol.

CONGRATS Leslie! Really happy for you.

Jill · 01-20-2004, 06:21 PM

Is newmans dressing alowed on cc? If so, that'd be nice, im so sick of italian dressing! Sometimes, I buy salad dressings, where about 1/2 the bottle is oil-then I pour almost all the oil out, and use the remaining left in the bottle. What do you think about that?

Leslie · 01-20-2004, 07:16 PM

I dont think TP allows it but I like my dressing(cant have tuna w/o it) and replaced my fish oils that meal with the dressing.

I wouldnt do this all the time, but one meal a day can't hurt too much

As for pouring th eoil out..I never thought about that. I would think it may help reduce some fats.

Leslie · 01-20-2004, 09:40 PM

Meals updated

I bought low carb bread at the store tonight

Jenny · 01-29-2004, 03:15 AM
