Exactly! and If you eating out.. you can have a cheat meal, and food will be limited

M.J.H. · 04-23-2004, 09:32 PM

See, that's exactly what I meant. Just don't eat out at a buffet.

sara · 04-23-2004, 09:38 PM

MontStar- I'll try not to eat out.. and if I did, it will be clean and limited..
for now, I'm keeping my weekly cheat meals (protein bars), or maybe a fruit and good amount of a new cereal

sara · 04-23-2004, 09:46 PM

MonStar- I was looking around you'r journal.. you started 1 day a head of me with you'r new plan

That's crazy sara, because protein bars are absolutely not even close to cheat meals for me, lol. I eat them on a daily basis almost like they're regular old food. Also fruit I eat on a daily basis, etc. Cheating for me is mixed drinks, or maybe cheesecake, etc.

Great, so we can both stick it out together. What are your stats/goals?

I eat fruits all the time! I love fruits..I'm saying eating some fruits with my mini cheat protein bar or cereal will fill me up!

Last time checked 4/12/04
Height= 5'3
Weight= 118 Lbs. (when I weight in the morning I'm always 3-4 lbs less) ~115 Lbs.
Body Fat= 17% (according to trainer)

Goals= 12% body fat or just lose lots of inches off my waist

M.J.H. · 04-23-2004, 10:00 PM

Goals sold pretty well planned sara, really impressive. Any pictures to track your progress? Also, how old are you if you don't mind, and how long have you been training?

Unfortunatly, no pics

sorry no scanner
I'm 21.. first time to join a gym July 2002.. took 3 months off last summer from foot injury, but I still did some upper body weights @ home

M.J.H. · 04-23-2004, 10:31 PM

Oh okay, I had no idea that you were my age. Nice to see so many people who take training/diet seriously at our age here at IM. Keep up the hard work sara, I'll continue checking your progress.

sara · 04-23-2004, 10:47 PM

Well if I cheat on junky yummy cereal, I know I won't be satisfied and want to eat more and more.. having a fruit will fill me up

Sara- you know how overeating on the cereal and such led to binges before? this is what the whole new plan was about- balanced nutrition... fit those things that you want occasionally into your plan. your still not eating quite enough as the plan had outlined. . . although I am impressed that your eating more carbs finally

Jill · 04-24-2004, 08:13 AM

1535, your getting up there!

AJ- I'm saying for a cheat meal I would like cereal and the fruits so I won't end up binging.. but I'll stick with the protein bars for now

Thanks hon

M.J.H. · 04-24-2004, 06:32 PM

It's amazing looking at what you eat on a daily basis compared to what I eat. I think that I would pass out because I was starving if I only took in 1,500 calories! Diet is definitely looking good though sara, keep it up.

sara · 04-24-2004, 08:02 PM

Thanks MonStar

sara · 04-24-2004, 08:07 PM

Remember I'm only 5'3 , I would explode if I consumed 3000 cals everyday!
