THANKS Jodi! I HATE taking antibiotics. (and never finish the damn things even though I know I "should" )

I will pick the Defense Plus up at lunch time.
I only ate twice yesterday and I have no appetite at all today. I hate eating when I don't want to way more than I hate not eating stuff I want to eat. Anyway - I'm determined to get at least 5 meals in today.

hi butterfly! good to "see" you! (psst - it's time to post new baby pics )

 

[nikegurl]

well - last week was a rough one. wasn't feeling good, problems at home and craziness at work. i ended up taking the week off from the gym but i'm back at it this week. i WAS going to try the 50s Monday on chest day but figured the week after a week off maybe wasn't the best time since my diet was pretty lame and i wasn't feeling my best.

next power week - i'm going for it - even if i only get a few reps i want to try.

I'm fiddling with a pw spike. I'll see what I learn from it. Yesterday's diet:

MEAL 1
1 whole egg
5 egg whites
1/2 grapefruit
1/3 c oats
2 fish oil caps


MEAL 2
4 oz chicken breast
5 oz sweet spud
green beans
sesathin


MEAL 3
2 scoops whey
2 fish oil caps


MEAL 4
can tuna
Tbs light mayo
4 olives
sesathin

MEAL 5 **postworkout meal**
2 scoops whey
3 Tbs dextrose
1/4 c oats

MEAL 6
1 cup 1 1/2% fat cottage cheese
Tbs pb
sesathin

TOTALS: 1674 calories
212 g protein (52%)
126 g carbs (29%)
35 g fat (19%)

 

[nikegurl]

the above meal plan is going to be the one i go with on training days for awhile.

i was thinking on the other 3 days that i don't lift i'd keep it basically the same except for meal 5 i wouldn't be having the carbs and i'd add in a couple of fish oil caps. on those days my totals would be 1511 calories 210 g protein, 84 g carb 35 g fat

is that reasonable for a little while or too low on calories/carbs for the 3 non lifting days?

 

[Jodi]

I think it's reasonable. I'm not fond of the spike but we won't get into that

 

[nikegurl]

i know i have a feeling i might not too fond of the spike either. but it occured to me the other day that i've never tried it myself to see. i think i'll give it 3 or 4 weeks and then cut it out and see what (if anything) changes.

i don't THINK i can get fat from it since my calories are pretty tight. when i eliminate it i'll keep my calories the same and just ditch the dextrose and use all oats instead.

i'm hoping i'll at least be able to tell a difference - good or bad. (fingers crossed)

 

[Jodi]

It's the only way to find out. I tried it this past winter for a few weeks. I didn't like it and went right back to oats. But we are all different and for some it works great while other it does not

 

[nikegurl]

do you think if i keep the diet totally consistent i'll be able to tell if it "works" for me?

i hate to feel like i'm guessing

 

[Jodi]

Oh you will be able to tell

 

[PreMier]

Welcome back Missed you again.

 

[nikegurl]

thanks cutie. at least i don't stray for long....

 

[PreMier]

It seems like a long time

So is everything doing better now?

 

[nikegurl]

work is better. the rest is...... the same but i'm coping.

i'm fighting the urge to get another kitten. whenever i'm in a funk i want more animals.

 

[PreMier]

How many kittens do you have now?

 

[nikegurl]

i'm the crazy cat lady but i SWEAR it was an accident. i got 2 when i really wanted a dog but couldn't have one in my apartment. then 1 more showed up a few years later and refused to leave my damn balcony. i wanted no part of him but he wouldn't leave. so i have 3 now. then i have 1 leopard gecko and 2 bearded dragons.

 

[nikegurl]

i know - no more cats.

 

[PreMier]

 

[Velvet]

i know - no more cats.

sweet, I have 3 cats too...and a frog..and a beta lol..If I had more money to cover vet bills I'd have a whole houseful of kitties

What kind are they? Colors?

 

[Pitboss]

I found your journal now you can never get rid of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I used to have dogs.. they passed on but now I have a Beta. His name is Beta he's two years old!! It was my exgf's fish and I got stuck with him. Oops sorry this is a journal.. no more chit chat!! See ya at the gym...

 

[nikegurl]

don't encourage me velvet....

they're "mutts" but cute as heck. i have 2 abysinnians now and 1 mutt kitty. i was always a "dogs only" person but i've been converted!

 

[nikegurl]

i like betas. i'd have one too but my cats would eat him/her. they're baaaaaddddd and there's nothing they can't reach. i have to use child locks on my kitchen cabinets.

see ya at the gym
