ncgirl21 · 03-17-2004, 06:32 AM

Morning

. I was running soooo freaking late this morning

. I got up at 7:25 and have to leave at 7:45 so I was in a major rush!!

But I made it, with wet hair and all! LOL!!

Hope everyone wore green today- don't want to get pinched!!

Didn't have time to make breakfast or lunch so I grabbed some soy crisps when walking out the door

and I brought two protein shakes for later. I've got some egg whites in the fridge at work, but I don't know how to make them in the microwave let alone how they would taste??

Today is shoulder/chest/and tricep day

Meals so far are looking like this:

Meal 1: soy crisps

Meal 2: protein shake

Workout

Meal 3: protein shake, apple

Meal 4: 1 can chicken, veggies

Meal 5: 1 cup egg whites

Probably 30 minutes cardio tonight

atherjen · 03-17-2004, 06:45 AM

Morning Andrea!!

sorry to hear that your day stayed off rushed! I hate when that happens!
oppsss I forgot it was St Pattys day!

I dont think I have green clothes though!

microwaved egg whites arent bad! defintly have some, even with a lil pepper or anything they are tolerable!
not quite the same as in a pan but not bad! and I wont just eat anything!

try and get some more healthy fats in there today too girlie!!

Hope you have a great workout!!

ncgirl21 · 03-17-2004, 07:18 AM

Can I make a whole cup in the microwave at one time? How long do I microwave for?

I did the spray tan on my legs and I'm going tanning today. It doesn't look bad, but I don't like the way it looks on my toes!

BabsieGirl · 03-17-2004, 08:54 AM

Be careful how long you microwave/boil/cook any foods because you can take most of the nutrients out of them.

There isn't a lot of food today in your diet...How come? I do hope you're taking a multi-Vitamin

How are you feeling today?

Hey Babsie

I was running super duper late this morning so I didn't have anytime to make my normal lunch so I'm having to subside off of protein shakes. I'll be sure to pack ahead tonight because a shake and apple isn't much of a lunch!! My foods been pretty light here latley because of all of the problems I've been having with my ex, but I'm increasing it back up slowly.

I'm feeling pretty good today though- how about you?

I just had an awesome workout!! I used nothing but the barbell, dumbbells and cables but I'm feeling it, especially my shoulders right now. If I go back tonight, I'm going to do a couple of the chest machines and the tricep machine

atherjen · 03-17-2004, 04:49 PM

AWESOME!!

glad you had a great workout girl!!

your doing great increasing the food intake back up.. it wont take long!

Definatly!! But they are sooooo yummy!!

are you still taking your fishy caps??

Not like I should be, I really need to work on that, I'm still taking 1-2 a day but I'll work on upping it. Could I take 2 in the morning and 2 at night?

ncgirl21 · 03-18-2004, 02:27 PM

Does anyone ever add cottage cheese to their protein shakes along with ice to make them thicker? How's it taste with the added cottage cheese?

Jill · 03-18-2004, 03:27 PM

That actually sounds good-sometimes I just blend cottage cheese and protein in the blender, with a little water and 1T sf jam-it tastes like strawberry cheesecake! (not liquidy like a shake though)

atherjen · 03-18-2004, 04:22 PM

Ive added cottage cheese to my shakes A LOT. when I am out of a blend(casein/egg - slower digesting) Ill add the cc to my shake. tastes great and makes em real smooth!!

Jillybean that sounds good too!

Andrea- how about 2 in the morning and 3 at nite?

Okay- but only because I love you so!!!

Powersculpting class was good last night and afterwards I did 25 minutes of cardio and then went to tan. Meals went as planned except I added in about 1/3 cup of cottage cheese to my shake- yummy

!!

Todays workout: legs (quads and calves)

Meals today:

1: 2 scoops protein

workout

2: salad (lettuce, cabbage, carrots, zucchini) 1 can tuna, 1 medium green apple

tanning
workout

3: 1 cup egg whites, lots of broccoli, 25 soy crisps

4: 2 scoops protein, 1 tbs. peanut butter

I may add in another meal of cottage cheese and either pb or fiber one or protein powder???

Just depends on what I'm doing tonight and where I'm at

Tomorrow I'm going to hit the gym for a longer cardio session- maybe 45 minutes???

Jill- that cheesecake sounds yummy, I think I'll have to try that one? What kind of sf jam do you use?

atherjen · 03-19-2004, 02:16 PM

good girl! you listen so well! those fishy caps arent too hard to swallow!

hope you had some great workouts today! they were well planned chickie!

and defintly add in meal 5 if you can!

and if you could fit a 5th meal in too... that would be good!

hope you have a great day girlie!

ncgirl21 · 03-26-2004, 07:34 AM

Morning!

Went to the doctor yesterday for some blood work, haven't gotten any of my results back yet. I weighed on the scale and I'm at 143, still not where I want to be but I'm getting closer.

Meals however sucked yesterday. I made a protein shake with 1 scoop protein, 1 carb control yogurt, 1/2 cup lf cottage cheese. Had that for breakfast. Travis and I had our LAST world war yesterday afternoon so I had no appetitie so last night I ate 1 can of tuna and some spinach leaves. That's it- for the whole freaking day.

But I guess it's better than downing a shit load of cookies or candy like I use to would have done!!

Did 15 minutes on the exercise bike last night and then did a light shoulder/chest/tricep workout. Missed my class

, I was so bumming, I love that class

!! Oh well, there's always next Thursday.

Meals today are:

1: 1 carb control yogurt, 1/2 cup lf cc, 1/2 cup fiber one

2: veggie delight salad from subway, 1 can tuna

*Don't really know about later. Probably egg whites and veggies and a protein shake w/ peanut butter.

Workouts today: legs- quads and calves, cardio- 30 minutes

Tomorrow I'm going to do shoulder/chest/tricep and hit them good!! And I might do a pilates tape too w/ some cardio.

Stacey · 03-26-2004, 07:41 AM

Hey girl.. Sorrry about your spat with Travis

That stinks!! Your right, at least you didn't go on a binge on junk. Just eat better today.. I bet you were a little hungry this morning huh??

I did that last week and the next day I was STARVING.

have a good day!!

Jenny · 03-26-2004, 08:20 AM

Hey Nc!

Sorry I haven't checked in for so long

Things look good in here

What is happening with you and Travis, are you going to continue seeing him?

Have a great weekend

ncgirl21 · 03-26-2004, 09:42 AM

Hey girls- things are going okay today

I was pretty hungry this morning, but my nerves are still shaky so I still don't have my normal appetite yet.

!!

Travis and I are over. We were together for three years and it sucks and hurts like hell, but I guess life has to go on!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

atherjen · 03-26-2004, 10:02 AM
