How are all things in sunny Florida today?

So I read you are boycotting Halloween ... this is not good.

So what is your weekend plan?

klmclean · 10-29-2004, 03:12 PM

Hey, Ivy, have a great weekend. Happy Halloween

BulkMeUp · 10-29-2004, 03:37 PM

Hey GG

Long time lurker, first time poster. Your journal grows by leaps and bounds. By the time i think of posting something, the conversation has changed and i am lost

Methinks your journal deserves a forum status of its own!

We got most of that in the office + chips + pizza! I decided to use it as a day/cheat meal

Happy Halloween!

Hey NT! SOrry I never replied to this yesterday! Barely got online the rest of the day yesterday!

It's gorgeous here today, great weather. The tourists are happy, as they've lucked out, definitely.

I'm not boycotting halloween! Just don't have any costume ideas i like enough, and don't want to eat candy! I'm going to go see my friend's band tonight MAYBE. That's the only halloween plan i have. Other than that, stay home, do some work. Exciting stuff. I know.

You?

Wish I'd had more than one! hahaha!

your journal -- going right over...

GoalGetter · 10-30-2004, 05:47 PM

So I've been reading through Jodi's Guide to Cutting, Bulking & Maintenance, and going over the diets in there, as well as reading some other resources online and in some books I have. I'm not looking ot do anything revolutionary, but I need to get out of this "fear of getting fat again" mode in which I'm operating.

I already know what i have to do if I want to drop fat, cut, etc. I just did it and it turned out just great. So if I change my diet a bit and see that I start plumping up (which "experts" say totally wont happen!), I know I can reverse that in a week or two at most.

So here I go. I'm gonna go 40/40/20 at first, and see how my body reacts. The 40% carbs freaks me out a bit as right now I'm at most on a 60/20/20. So that's like doubling my carbs over night.

I'm also keeping the cals at 1200. I had them at 1000-1100 for the last two weeks of the Body For Life Challenge, well last THREE weeks.

In the past week and a half I've slowly started adding carbs (and consequently, calories) back in, mostly at breakfast and post workout, but not in the rest of my meals... Not sure if to keep doing that. I definitely am trying to keep carbs out of my evening meals. Adding EFAs to those instead -- evoo, fish oil caps, etc.

Gonna continue to keep the diet as free from sugar and added sodium as possible. By added sodium I mean that it isn't naturally occurring in the food already, like by way of a seasoning or salad dressing. That means a lot of my favorite seasonings are on their way out. I'll have to replace them with some that don't contain salt. The mcCormick's and Ms. Dash stay. As do some of the herb blends. But my cajun and blackened seasonings...argh. gotta make those from scratch or find one that's salt-free. And buh-bye Taco seasoning! LOADED with sodium!

And still I won't be drinking alcoholic beverages or fruit juices.

And i'm going to have a half-cheat day every week. Meaning I'll eat clean most of that day, but will have one or two cheat meals or treats. Pizza, a burrito, ice cream, some cookies or a chocolate bar, even a trioplex bar

. But only one day a week and only for one or two of my six meals. Not a full day of cheating.

If this starts to become a problem, then they're gone. I've done it before, I can do it again (go without cheats, that is).

So there you have it. Starting Monday. Tomorrow I will cheat. It's Halloween anyway, dammit.

Jeanie · 10-30-2004, 05:54 PM

Sounds like a good plan!

No can do! Got a baby naming ceremony to attend an hour away.

Problem: all my dresses that are appropriate for this type of thing are big on me. Forgot to buy a dress when I was out shopping. I got sweaters, a jacket, shoes. No dress. Damn. This will be interesting.

Can we say safety pins?

OMFG it was the most boring event of the year so far for me. Left as soon as i ate dessert.

YES. I ATE DESSERT.

Well, a mini-dessert.

Three teeny pieces... 1"w x 1"L x .5"H squares of cheesecake, chocolate brownie and ruggelach (sp?). Damn. I don't even think that amounts to one actual slice of cake in the real world. In the alternate reality that I live in, that was a huge dessert, considering I hadn't had any of those things for well over three months.

I also just got back from Wild Oats. Got some eggplant and I'm gonna grill a few slices as part of my dinner tonight. Never eaten eggplant before. This shoudl be interesting.
