that is something to think about. Plus I don't want to get into the pattern of overeating then undereating ...getting hungry..overeating again, etc.
You are RIGHT!!!!

You know what else I realized? It is the 1/2-1 hr when I get in the door from work that kills me. I swear I have ROAD RAGE!!! I think I look for carbs after work to calm me down or to sedate me

As GI Joe says = "knowing is half the battle"

<---I am in rare form tonight. I better get to the gym before it gets too late. I will be back on later.

Someone has to look out for you.

I have a weird mindset too. It seems like as soon as I get home from anywhere, I have this need to eat. I working on changing my routines, etc...

TY Babe

O M G!!!! Me too!!! WTF is that all about? And my mom does it just as she is leaving the house to go anywhere...she grabs a granola bar or something. Like she is afraid she won't ever eat again.

Yeah, we all have some weird habits. But at least we can recognize them then try to change!

Success Log for the Past 2 Weeks:

Okay - I am being tongue n' cheek here but I had to post this:

Number of:
---Slices of cakes turned down: 2
---Office luncheons where I ate my own lunch: 2
---*Unaccepted invitations to Chili's: 1
---Times I passed the "goodie" bowl at work without digging in: ??? too many to remember.
---Cookies passed up:

After we went walking yesterday my friend had a bag of homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. Since they are "offseason" they dug right in but I was good

That was a tough one to pass up though. I am STILL thinking about them right now!!!

*my best friend lives off their Buffalo Chicken fingers and asks me to go at least once a week. Will she ever learn??

Yeah, I have only been at this job 2 weeks and it is UNREAL how much food I have to encounter. Damn I might as well work in a restaurant! This week I heard them gathering for a birthday party at my co-workers desk. No one bothered to get me to come over and by the time they started singing I figured why bother going over there now I will just turn down the cake again and they will all think I am anorexic again or something. So I was supposed to be in the training room like in 5 minutes anyways so I gathered my stuff and went in there. Another girl I was training with comes in and sits down. Then my boss comes in with 2 slices of cake for us and we both politely said no thank you. Then she is like no?

with a confused look on her face. Are you sure? Are you sure? ..Yeah - I AM SURE!!! So after my boss left my friend says you know I have a 1.5 hr commute each way, I don't have time to workout anymore, I can't eat cake every week! I couldn't agree more!

jstar · 09-18-2004, 08:53 AM

9/17

M1: 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup ew, 1 scoop protein
M2: 1 scoop protein
M3: 2 terriyaki chx breasts, salad
M4: 1.5 scoops protein
*walking*
M5: 6 slices ezkl bread, 1 TBL PB, BJ Bar

1537.5 204.5C 147.5P 33.25F

I went straight from work to my friend's house because we had plans to go walking before it got dark. Another friend of ours joined us. It was a blast. I hadn't seen these girls in a while so after our walk we were just gabbing away

I love being around these 2...they compete as well (in fitness!) and one is a personal trainer with a ton of experience (she does my bf% tests), the other is a Physical Therapist and teaches aerobic classes.
Anyways I know M5 was kinda big because I didn't get home for some time and was hungry. Good news is that my raisin ezekiel bread is all gone now. I don't think I will buy anymore for a while since I can't control myself with it

So my Physical Therapist friend just got back from Vegas after competing in the Ms. Fitness competition. She was sharing her photos and stories of her experience with us. For a first time national competitor she did pretty good! It is also her first year competing in fitness. Mind you she has no gymnastics background - just started maybe a year ago with it I think. Same thing with my other friend. She ended up taking 04 off but 03 was her first year. Sometimes I think I want to do fitness because it would be a challenge and it seems like fun but I know that I don't have the time or money to do it. It is a challenge enough for me just to diet for a show and keep up with my training for figure...nevermind the added component of a routine.

Anyways all my fitness friends always inspire me so much. Just being around them makes me want to work harder.

So I arranged to have my 2nd bodyfat test done in 2 weeks. They think I am 22% just by looking at me. Which is cool because I wanted to be at 21% by October 1st. We shall see!

Hey jstar!
You are cracking me up! It feels so much better to count the things you're turning down then to add up the junk you are eating doesn't it? You are doing great! The more times you do that, the easier it will get.

So, are you planning on competing soon? If so what competition? I will be looking forward to following along.

Keep up the good work babe, you are doing great.

Thanks Hiker!

It's funny how much "junk" we are offered all the time. I swear if I gave in everytime I would be a house. I just have an issue with people who offer you food and automatically expect you to accept it and indulge with them. I feel stronger every time for turning it down because it means I am not taking a step back from my goal. It is such a habit (to turn food down, to eat my own food rather than have what everyone else is having, etc. ) that I don't even crave what they are eating or want it. I guess the most upsetting part about it all to me is the reactions of others. But hey, it's my body and I will choose if and when I will cheat on my diet, thank you very much.

I am sure everyone here can relate to this...especially the evil co-workers

I am gearing up for the 2005 season Hiker

Last fall, after my first show, I went wild and gained 17lbs in 2 months. It took me forever to get it off. Heck I am still working at getting it off! I am determined not to let history repeat itself. I know some of my friends who compete are in their offseason and will overindulge, but that is okay because when it comes time for them to diet they are hardcore and rarely ever cheat. I, on the other hand, struggle with eating clean for weeks on end so I must take a different approach. I started dieting now with a longer, slower cut. I want to lose enough so that I am within 3-5 lbs of my contest condition by years' end(roughly). Then I will do a few gain/cut cycles where I increase my calories to maintenance or slightly higher for a few weeks so I can gain; then cut back down for a few weeks and lose the fat I gained; and then repeat the cycle (from Jan-Apr). My first show is a small local show on 4/16, and the second one will be the Fitness Atlantic in CT on 4/30. If you are in the area maybe you could come and watch

Or maybe you should compete with me

We have a ton of fun backstage!!!

What is a BJ bar?

Good job on resisting the temptations, screw those who are offended!

I skipped on on the gummie bears yesterday, and refused to eat the chocolate bar my co-worker bought me, trying to be nice or something. Geeze, they know I dont eat the shit. A couple days ago, i asked my co-worker to buy me a diet snapple, but she came back with just a reg one. They all think Im obsessed or weird or something, cause I wouldnt drink it. Hell, id rather eat my cals.

Good mental note about not buying anymore bread. I think thats a good idea for you.

Um, yeah, about that....I bought some more today. I will try to control myself though

I was just re-reading some of the "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle" e-book, in particular the chapter on how to evaluate your own progress. What I have discovered is that although my diet is not perfect and may even seem atrocious to some of you - that is doesn't matter so long as it works for me. I take my results every week (Wed is my weigh-in day) and whatever the outcome is I will adjust my diet and/or cardio level accordingly. If and when I do plateau then I can change things up for the following week. The whole point is that I slowly make changes to my diet and exercise program that I can live with (ie small, within reach changes rather than the drastic "all or nothing" approach I have taken and failed with time and time again). So, with out plagerizing (jeez my spelling is terrible today, sorry) Mr. Venuto too much I would like to copy a paragraph from BFFM that puts my comment into perspective:

Note - I paraphrased some of it because I couldn't copy and paste.

"Let your results dictate your approach." "In other words if you can eat bagels and pasta all day long and be ripped - great keep doing that! If you can eat 70% of your diet from carbs and 20% from protein and get leaner - great keep eating all those carbohydrates! If you can eat heavy meals late at night and still get leaner, don't change a thing! If you can get lean with diet and no cardio then go for it.

The results you produce each week are the only true measure of whether you have made the right choices or not. If your getting lean while breaking every rule in the book, then there is no reason to change. The ends justify the means, provided of course, that everything you are doing is good for your health.....Don't fix it if it ain't broken!"

Saw the macros for this and thought you should try the Mint Chocolate Chip Balance Bar Gold if you haven't already. They taste 100% identical to the icecream. I don't know all the macros but I know they have 210 calories, 15g protein and I think, but not sure, 20-24g carbs.

Hey Jenny!

Thanks babe!

Turning down junk food is a full-time job, huh? We should all get gold stars everytime we do it.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I need to get on here and catch up on your journal. I will soon, promise! Take care

mmmm I was reading about those Balance Bars in your journal. Is that a new flavor because I have not seen that kind before. I remember a few years back I had a thing for the Yogurt Peanut Crunch Balance Bar (not sure that is the exact name). Although, since I am cutting I probably couldn't - er I mean shouldn't - eat them for now. *Note to self* = next cheat meal get a Balance Bar.

Morning hun

Everything looks great, I may need to try this bread, how many calories per slice?

jstar · 09-20-2004, 07:16 AM

The weekend goes by too fast, doesn't it???

I have to leave for work in literally 10 minutes and I am still not dressed or anything

I am awful about this stuff.

Anyways I will update with my weekend meals/traininig on here later tonight if I had time. Tonight I go to the gym for Squats, DLs, and BB Bent Rows & 30 min cardio. Hopefully all the machines won't be taken again. My hip seems all better so I should be able to lift normally tonight.

Ah, I have so many things going on in my head - my life, what I want, where I am going

Over the weekend I visited my favorite little place where they do the mist-on tanning that I have used in the past as a base tan for my competitions. I love the girls in there. The one who owns it went to HS with me (she is a few yrs older though) and she opened it a couple yrs ago and since then the business has grown. I didn't go in to tan this time but to have my eyebrows done (for the 1st time - OUCH!). The pain was worth it though

Anyways I was talking to the girl who was doing my brows and asking here where she went to school and everything. So I found out the info and decided to go online and research it. I requested some info from the school by mail and I am considering enrolling in the program. After this temp job is over I don't want to waste my life in a career I hate just to make ends meet. I am taking more risks in life now - I want to enjoy myself. It is too much pressure otherwise. What I mean is that I always felt like I had to follow a certain path and know I realize that I don't.

My freaking ex is driving me nuts too but I can't go into that right now or I will be late for work. I will post more later about this!

Cya later!

The Ezekiel? It comes in many forms - tortillas, hamburger buns, hotdog buns, pitas, slices..etc.
The tortillas are 150 per slice, the buns are 150-170 (170 for sesame) and the bread is 80 calories per slice. I wish they had a web site so I could point you to it (I couldn't find one). It is made by "Food for Life" and it differs from regular bread because it is made from sprouts - not flour. It would be in the frozen section because it has to be refrigerated. I know there are a few other name brands that make flourless, sprouted bread and they would probably be in the frozen section as well. Lemme know if you find it and what you think.

I like the sesame, ww and of course the raisin bread!!!

Anyways I will update with my weekend meals/traininig on here later tonight if I had time. Tonight I go to the gym for Squats, DLs, and BB Bent Rows & 30 min cardio. Hopefully all the machines won't be taken again. My hip seems all better so I should be able to lift normally tonight. Ah, I have so many things going on in my head - my life, what I want, where I am going Over the weekend I visited my favorite little place where they do the mist-on tanning that I have used in the past as a base tan for my competitions. I love the girls in there. The one who owns it went to HS with me (she is a few yrs older though) and she opened it a couple yrs ago and since then the business has grown. I didn't go in to tan this time but to have my eyebrows done (for the 1st time - OUCH!). The pain was worth it though Anyways I was talking to the girl who was doing my brows and asking here where she went to school and everything. So I found out the info and decided to go online and research it. I requested some info from the school by mail and I am considering enrolling in the program. After this temp job is over I don't want to waste my life in a career I hate just to make ends meet. I am taking more risks in life now - I want to enjoy myself. It is too much pressure otherwise. What I mean is that I always felt like I had to follow a certain path and know I realize that I don't. My freaking ex is driving me nuts too but I can't go into that right now or I will be late for work. I will post more later about this! Cya later!
