Senimoni Slimdown :-0
BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com Just wanted to start a journal while I still have the nerve to do it. I'll be journaling my diet and w/o here for atleast 12 weeks. Tomorrow I start AGAIN
![]() I have a really bad habit of having an all or none attitude so if I cheat I quit, if I don't w/o, I cheat, really bad cycle, so I'm going to try to be more lenient on myself in that sense. Ideally I would be doing TP's Carb Cycling but I won't label my diet as such b/c I'm sure my version won't exactly follow it as prescribed. Suffice it to say that I plan to cycle carbs and cals and leave it at that. As far as weight training I have lifted before but its been in spurts off and on for last 8 years (jeez I'm old) So I plan on lifting in the BFL style 12/10/8/6/12/12 at least for now. I have shoulder and lower back issues so I will have to be very careful of that. Beginning Stats: Height 5'2" (hopefully this will increase a few inches )Weight 159.7 lbs Last edited by senimoni : 06-05-2004 at 06:55 PM. |

Questions:
I want to take a fiber supplement/ colon cleanse product but you need to take it morning and night and I'm not sure if that will conflict with the sesathin and leptigen timing. I know I should have 5-6 meals a day but I tend to sleep alot (depression) so should I eat all the meals regarding how many hours I'm awake or just eat every 3 or so waking hours? I would assume if I sleep more than normal than my BMR is probably less than calculated. Or am I overthinking it? *I wonder if I'm doing the Tricep Press correctly should I keep my elbows back, if so it sorta hikes up my shoulders on the up portion, or sometimes I let my elbows flare out to the sides on the up portion?? *On the upright row, same sorta thing do the elbows stay straight up or do you bend you wrists a little at the top of the movement and let the elbows go up and to the side....if that makes sense...I need to do some research.

Monday June 7 - Diet
Meal 1 12:30 PM - Leptigen, Protein Shake, Sesathin Meal 2 4:00 PM - Chicken, Sesathin Meal 3 9:00 PM - Leptigen, Tuna Meal 4 1:45 AM - Chicken, Sesathin, Lentils No workout today - the plan was sprints, but I can't really walk right now so I thought it better to save myself for tennis tomorrow. Does that sound like an excuse .....yeah it is. :-) And in the spirit of honesty I found some starburst in my pocket and I ate 4 of them :-( |

Well Day 4 and still no pop!! Yay me, I'm such a coca cola fein (sp?). I'm even avoiding diet pop b/c I really want to get rid of the cravings. I even had a moment of weekness after the starburst where I wanted to go and get some pop or more sweets but I didn't.

No I didn't, I was a little worried ie...do I look that bad, and you haven't even seen the trouble areas yet :-) Hopefully today, I need someone to take them for me, or if I can figure out the timer on my camera.

Worried? I sent you an email yesterday shortly after you sent it to me.
You have nothing to be worried about!! You are doing great and you don't look bad AT ALL!!!! You look good! Nice legs Once you get those other pics send them along. No worries, you will get to your goal. The first step is resisting the temptations. Once you've mastered that is gets easier as you go. |

Jodi, I checked my bulk email it was sent there, not sure why though, thats strange.
Thanks for the compliment but like I said, you haven't seen the worse yet. 85% of my extra fat is smack dead in my stomach, the rest is neck, back. I always joke that I have a fat back........(sorta like the pork fat back) guess its an inside joke b/c it doesn't really seem that funny as I type it now :-) |

You shouldn't be ashamed of your body. You will reach your goal 1 step at a time.
Just don't give in or give up. |

It was probably the lentils. Sometimes carbs can produce a thermogenic effect when you are dieting. Do you always eat carbs at bedtime?

If its working for so that you don't raid the fridge then by all means continue.

Wednesday June 9th
*Ok I'm officially addicted to Lentils. I wasn't well prepared today so I didn't get any of my supplements in. On a good note, I found a check I had not cashed (and I'm broke with a Capital B) so I can get some real food this week. Meal 1 - P.Shake + udo Meal 2 - Tuna + Lentil Meal 3 - Tuna + Lentil Meal 4 - Zone Perfect Bar (not ideal) + Coke - I fell off the wagon. - And to top off the horrible diet I forgot my meticulously packed bag at home so I will have to do Tennis and Lift tomorrow to catch up. |
