Getting Back On Track

Darn guys they can eat pizza once a week with no worries (well not all men I guess).

Try not to get down on yourself hun...you've lost 13 lbs since April and that is wonderful!!! Your getting closer and closer to your goals and I KNOW you can reach them! You have been so consistent with your cardio and training, I can see over the past yr/months from your journals that you are.

If I may suggest a couple things (since you asked :lol ):

*Create a long term goal for your fat loss and then figure out short term goals along the way. It is great that you are getting your bf% tested (I hope you are using calipers and the same person each time), but you need to have a clear goal in mind. For example right now I am 24% bf and my goal is 12% (before I start a gaining phase) so based on my weight and bf% I know exactly how much fat I need to lose to reach my destination. I can also pinpoint how much per week I need to lose, how much per month, etc. This also helps give you a definitive deadline so that you know when you will reach your goal. Since you have a few trips coming up I assume you could make one of your goals "reach (blank) bodyfat% by the day before you leave. Then when you reach that goal, and you will, set another one!

*I noticed that when you are "on track" you do a lot of cardio (I have NO problem with that at all) and you are eating 1400-1500/day with a reduced # of carbs. (130-150g I guess you average?) Well any normal person IMO would be hungry after a few days on this regimen. With the amount of cardio and the #carbs you eat I think your glycogen stores are near depleted and need a refilling from time to time. I don't necessarily think it would be a bad thing, in fact I think it would be a good thing, to increase your calories and carbs on the weekends. I mean, keep them clean, but refill those glycogen stores. Then go back to your usual regimen M-F (or however you do it

I am currently reading a lot on postworkout nutrition and I am starting to realize that the PWO meal is VITAL to seeing results. I always thought "yeah it is important I guess" but now I see it is crucial to our success. I am not just talking about post-weight training workouts...it applies to post-cardio workouts too. Do you have a standard post-workout meal? What is it?

*And most importantly : GOOD LUCK (but you are a champ in my book already)

Thanks for th post, it really means alot that I am already a champ in your book.

Steve could eat pizza 1-2X a week, so could I if it didnt go straight to my ass!

The thing about pizza is that it tastes so good, but the next day i always end up feeling sick with a tummy ache.

I know my cardio is crazy. I appreciate the advice but i like to be careful increasing cals on certain days, cause it then turns into a binge.

I really should think about setting some specific goals, great idea, thanks.

Jill · 09-12-2004, 06:49 AM

Off to do chest.. gonna go super heavy today-only usually do that 1 in every 4 workouts.

Feel way better after eating real clean for the last few days. Body even looks better with the extra fluff gone. Its amazing what eating clean can do to the mind also.

Steve made a reference to his last comment, it was the pants he said

, cause i was wearing different sweats yesterday and he was like 'you look sooooooo skinny'. Men. I should send him to Tonys men 101 course

Well, atleast it was a good comment yesterday.

M.J.H. · 09-12-2004, 09:18 AM

Have a great chest workout Jill, diet is looking solid as usual. Keep it up!

BTW, sorry about that I thought you said 57 minutes of sprints. I was like damn, I can barely last 20-25 minutes, lol.

Jill · 09-12-2004, 09:23 AM

Monstar-I did 30 mins of tm sprints, today, on an incline!

I really really REALLY thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest.

BTW, I had a great workout, thanks.

dalila · 09-12-2004, 09:29 AM

Hi Jilly

, your cardio stamina is really impressive! Do you know by any chance whats your resting heart rate?Oh and good luck with the new journal, though I think you really didn't need it, an occasional pig out or two doesn't mean you need "a new start".

Great attitude. It is so true, after a few days of clean eating and hard workouts your really look and feel different!!!

I am starting a new heavy routine tomorrow. You should post your workout, I am curious

since I have been using the same ol' boring routine for some time now.

greekblondechic · 09-12-2004, 03:03 PM

men are retarded... tio excluded

Jill · 09-12-2004, 03:44 PM

Dalila-I dont know my resting heart rate BUT my chiro took it the other day and said it was excellent, that my resting heart rate was that of an athlete.

J-star....I would post my workouts but I am too lazy. I do keep them in a note book but I leave it in my car. My weight workouts are never the same. I always change them. I usually incoperate atleast 2-3 drop sets per bodypart, and usually 1 compound set. Sometimes I superset bis and tris, other than that I do 1 bodypart per workout. Oh, I pick 3-4 (sometimes 5) different exercises and do 3-4 sets. I keep my reps at 12-15. 15-20 for legs.

Every 3-4 workouts I throw in a heavy day, to shock my muscles. I like to always keep em guessing.

Hope this helps. Anymore detail and I can post em just for you.

Hi Sweet Jill !

Looking good in here ! Keep up the good work !

carbchick · 09-12-2004, 11:01 PM

hey Jill, looks like you're back on track. eating right can gain a momentum of its own - if we let it

Hey did you get my PM?

Jenny · 09-13-2004, 04:31 AM

Great meals Jill!!

gwcaton · 09-13-2004, 05:47 AM

Hi Sweetheart !

What's on the agenda today ? Power shopping ?

dianas05 · 09-13-2004, 06:27 AM

Hey Jill,
You're meals and training are both looking great! I wanted to ask you, where do you get your ff cheese and what brand is it? It might sound like a strange question, but I haven't seen any around here (Calgary).

Sapphire · 09-13-2004, 06:35 AM

Hi Jilly

Your diet is awesome... I may try to copy it.

I have been slacking a bit in that area.

Jill · 09-13-2004, 07:25 AM

Hello peeps!

G-Hey sexy man, how goes it!!! No shopping till TOMORROW, my day off!

Just work today. Thanks for all your encouragement, I love it!

BP, I like that you visit..Are you m or fm?

Diana, the cheese if just kraft cheese slices. Mozz, swiss flavored or the cheddar. They are probably not the best thing for me, but they are like 30 cals, 2C and 5P per slice-they taste pretty good in eggies.

I only have usually 1 sometimes 2 a day.

Sapphy you dont need to diet, you have the hottest ass on IM already!

Hows my sexy greek sis?

greekblondechic · 09-13-2004, 09:31 AM

I am doin good princess! Now that you said that I am going to look for that cheese in the supermarket.. love cheese in eggies!

How YOU doin??

Jill · 09-13-2004, 10:41 AM

Im great Greeky! My weight this am is at its lowest in almost a year!

This am I went to get gas (and coffee

) at 7-11. O M G!

They had those inside out reeses pb cups, white chocolate areo, and vanilla flavored smarties. I didnt get any... They did look yummy though.. maybe on a cheat day in a few.

Back AWAY from the White Aero - it is TOOOOOOO good! Don't go there honey, trust me - if you never taste one, you'll never know what you're missing

Although (and no offence and all), I've tried Canadian chocolate (used to work for Nestle, I've tried MANY chocolates!), and it's weird and not like the good English stuff I was used to. Having only tried UK Aero, maybe we can assume the Canadian version at your 7-11 is nasssty and not worth trying. 'k?

Congratulations, it's great to hear about your weight. You must be so excited...

You must stay away from that devil food...Devil food, good......Healthy food bad...er, no wait...Healthy food good, good. Reeses (Devil food) bad...phew, almost

Jill · 09-13-2004, 01:52 PM

Thanks for the tips Novo and Tony. I really want to try the pb cups.

But 250cals for 2 is lots....when i want to eat 8!

Hey Novo, ya chocolate tastes real bad, lets pretend.

it's all coming together ... consistency at the gym and with your diet is paying off! Congrats!

hikerchick · 09-13-2004, 02:04 PM

Hey Jilly,
Congrats on your scale weight - although please don't get on that durned scale anymore!!

New journal looks great. I have seen those new Reese's, the white chocolate ones too. NOt going to do it though. When I have a craving I go to my grocery store and get sugar free chocolate. It's not quite as good but I wouldn't want to eat that much anyway - it gives ya serious "toot-toots" as my daughter calls them.

Gets the craving out of my system though.

dianas05 · 09-13-2004, 07:09 PM

Oh, I see....now I know!

Thanks for telling me.

jstar · 09-13-2004, 07:21 PM

Awesome meals and workouts - AGAIN!!!

You are making me want Fiber One. I used to eat it all the time with blueberries and liquid egg whites drizzled over it. I am nuts I know

I haven't seen those Reeses everyone is talking about but that is good - keep em in Canada

Oh...this time of year is tough with all the bags of candy displayed as soon as you walk in the store for Halloween. Great job making a quick getaway from 7-11. You are "Iron Jill." hehehe (iron will, iron jill, get it???)
