My primary goal at the moment - regain my strength and "relose" my fat

Yesterday's Meals

MEAL 1
1.5 scoops whey
1 Tbs pb
1/3 c oats

MEAL 2
4 oz chicken
1/2 cup (cooked measure) rice
broccoli
2 fish oil caps

MEAL 3
can tuna
Tbs Just 2 Good Mayo
Western Alternative bagel

MEAL 4
4 oz 96% lean ground sirloin
4 oz yam
mixed greens salad w/vinegar
2 fish oil caps

MEAL 5
1.5 scoops whey
1/3 cup oats

MEAL 6
1 whole egg
5 egg whites

TOTALS
1620 calories
31 g fat 18%
123 g carbs 29%
206 g protein 53%

I should probably add in 2 more fish oil caps a day.

Other than that - I think I'll stick with a plan close to this for at least a few weeks and adjust as needed from there. I've thought about nudging carbs up just a bit but I figure I'll see how things go first.

I'd say roughly 12 lbs. I'll know better as I get closer but that's about right.

Thanks for the well wishes Kerry and Sara.

Oh, I'll be here so much you'll be asking for the opposite

But seriously, Im glad your back.

**nikegurl** · 02-22-2005, 07:18 PM

thanks. it's going to suck at first - i've lost so much strength

BUT this time around i'm going to listen to a wise friend and try to "enjoy the process"

i'll have to keep reminding myself as i struggle with dbs 15 lbs lighter than before on chest day...but i'll get there and past "there" if i keep going.

g'night - will log my workout and today's meals tomorrow.

**aggies1ut** · 02-22-2005, 07:41 PM

G'luck Hillary.

Btw, aren't those bagels tiny? I've gotten them at Ralph's before.

**tucker01** · 02-23-2005, 06:39 AM

GL NG!

Nice to see you back around

**Jodi** · 02-23-2005, 09:54 AM

**nikegurl** · 02-23-2005, 10:48 AM

thanks for the support.

the bagels are pretty tiny but they taste good and hold the tuna nicely

they only put 5 in a bag too which seems like a stupid number

**nikegurl** · 02-23-2005, 10:49 AM

When I stopped working out I was about ready to use the 50s for flat DB presses. (I was getting decent reps with the 45s) Now I'm down to the 35s on my "heavy" (as if

) set.

I don't like being weak but I'll get through it if I keep at it.

Dont be so hard on yourself.. I just got back from a 2 month layoff, and I feel your pain. It will come back though(I hope LOL).

**nikegurl** · 02-24-2005, 04:41 PM

oh...it WILL come back. i insist on it.

it just feels goofy logging my whopping 9 set workouts.

so far so good though.
i've gone to the gym as planned, i haven't skipped any meals, i haven't eaten any crap. that'll have to do for this week.

I've been here and feel for ya, it can be as frustrating as hell but you'll probably get that strength back with gains before ya know it.
Journal is looking great!

It's even more frustrating than I knew it would be...but "this too shall pass" as long as I keep going. I don't know how long it will take but eventually I'll feel like I'm getting strong again. Until then - I'm just going to keep at it.
Thanks for the support.

Last night was shoulders.

DB PRESSES

i can practically guarantee that my loathing of cardio won't ever change.

**sara** · 03-01-2005, 05:42 PM

Hey girl

**Cold Iron** · 03-01-2005, 06:04 PM

Looking good. Everything good takes time.

Nike you used to have pics up, correct?

thanks. yep, I used to have pictures up. they're still in an old journal somewhere.

Confession time....
diet has been really good.
cardio actually happened this morning.
i haven't lifted since friday.

It's a long story but basically I was in the emergency room with a friend (i'm fine) 2 nights in a row. very little sleep....and trying to help him out while he recovers so things are really hectic and i'm stretched pretty thin.

It's not the end of the world but I know I have to get back in the gym soon or I'll wind up slacking again for ages.

I really do have to catch up on some sleep and then the plan is to get back to the gym on Saturday. I'm going to go with a push/pull split for awhile and see how that treats me.

**PreMier** · 03-09-2005, 03:52 PM

Is your friend doing ok now? Where are the workouts

**nikegurl** · 03-10-2005, 11:47 AM

no workouts. (i should learn to lie) i've been working 7am - 8pm all week and it's kicking my ass. deadline is this weekend so at least there's an end in sight. i've been eating well and training...not at all

famous last words - "monday"
