I'm finding that FitDay really seems to have a high fat percentage read out for my daily cals. I could be wrong, but I really don't think I'm eating an average of over 30% fat cals/day.

Total Cals: 2400

Fats: 74gm 26%
Carbs: 312gm 39%
Protein: 225 35%

[dvlmn666]

you had time to cook at midnight? cool. only thing I'm motivated to cook taht late is to throw a protein shake in the blender.

 

[nikegurl]

hi clp. wow - that's quite a leg workout! when you do lunges on a smith machine is it sort of like a half squat half lunge? like you just go up and down in the lunge position right? no step forward except to get in postition to start the set. i'm not explaining that too well. i mean you have the one leg out and one behind and then just up and down 'til you finish your reps and switch legs?

is there anything special about the apple cider vinegar or are all vinegars created equal? i usually use balsalmic but if there's a reason to go with apple cider - i'll switch!

thanks. have a great day!

 

[CLPgold]

You are correct ng! about the lunges.

I am not sure about all the benefits of balsamic vinegar. The benefits of all vinegars in general is they slow down insulin response, lowering GI.

Apple cider in particular is a good digestive aid and cleanser.

My legs are getting sorer as the day wears on. LMAO> To think it took 1hr and 45min. to do 4leg exercises!!! Well worth it!!!

LOL dv. It was already premade in the fridge. But I've definitely cooked that late before.

 

[nikegurl]

thanks CLP! better start adding the vinegar in to the diet. i have balsalmic but haven't used it lately. good stuff but pretty strong flavor. i'll go with apple cider instead i think.

wow - you really don't play around when you train legs! awesome.

[CLPgold]

Did 40min. moderate to high intensity on the Stepmill.

OK here is my total breakdown for the day. OH!!!

Total Cals: 3262
Fats: 98gm 26%
Carbs: 384gm 38%
Protein: 308gm 36%

That protein might take awhile to digest

Poop. That means I'm gonna probably sneak back in tomorrow night to do maybe another hour of cardio on top of the 45min. planned tomorrow morning. Then I'll do 1hr. on Sat. and 1hr. on Sun. Cuz I'm gonna be eating all weekend too. Then I must do a minimum 30min. every morning on an empty stomach to get me back on track. And probably throw in a few more sessions throughout the days if I don't behave. I can't fit into any of my clothes right now. At first it was kinda funny, that's worn off now. I'm laughing about it no longer.

I feel like this is one of those moments for a 'Deep Thought' by Jack Handy. LMFAO!!! Remember those from Saturday Night Live. FUQin hilarious.

[CLPgold]

I know w8, it's my own damn fault. I think it's the excessive consumption of all those protein bars loaded with sugar, corn syrup solids, partially and fully hydrogenated fats, and excessive sodium content. I ate so many of those damn things after the comp. Everyday I'm dropping about a 1lb again now though. I won't tell you what I went up too. OK, yes I will LMAO. I was a whopping 138lb on Monday. I'm back down to 131lb as of today. I was retaining so much fluid (I know better) it was quite uncomfortable. Especially during a workout I'd get a huge pump going on and the pressure would hurt I'd be so pumped.


I'll be back down to 120-124lb by next Friday. Then maintain that til Musclemania. Just need some self control around those protein bars. I can avoid all junk foods now, it's just those. Oh yeah, and my parents are officially here as of 10:00am tomorrow. We're going shopping, then taking the kids bowling - there's a DQ in the bowling alley, then were headed out to the Chinese buffet.....

[CLPgold]

Oh boy kids. My yesterday was ugly. To top it all off my parents came back this morning with a box full of Timbits and cinammon twists. I was soooooo good. Had to do a huge calorie deficit today, plus the beer I've been drinking. Hehe. And I did not go to the gym. Kinda bummed about it, but the gym is getting seasonaly dead right now and it's just not the same caliber of hotties to eyeball.

Today was pretty good:

Sleep: Almost 7hr. Had a nasty panic attack last night from 12:00am-2:30am. I'm attributing it to the caffeine, but usually caffeine affects me the day after. Could also be all the refined sugars, dyes and preservatives. Anyways, it was my own little living hell as a reminder not to eat crap!!!

1/4cp.fresh tomatoes

Drank lots of beer today. I did eat really well all day. . Got lots of cardio to do over the next week though.

LMFAO my absolutely adorable beautiful baby boy is rockin himself to the Offspring's "Bad Habit". I know not the best song for my baby boy, LOL, but it is an awesome song. You want to get a killer w/o in? Listen to some of the old Offspring and Chili Peppers. Honorable mentions: Offspring; Bad Habit, Genocide, Why Don't You Get a Job, Self Esteem...
Chili Peppers: Anything off the 'Mother's Milk' album.

I drank lots of water today. But I'd rather I had more beers. Unfortunately I have to go to bed soon.

Got my week of w/o's planned with Wil now. Wil is going to get the biggest accolades when I win the Musclemania LMAO>

 

[Eggs]

Hey CLP, I wrote up a little skit about this... but didnt want to mess your journal up with it so just posted it on mine.

Seriously though, hope that you dont get any more panic attacks and its cute bout the your boy. A little Offspring now and then wont hurt the lad! Today he's rocking, tomorrow he'll be tossing back the guiness with the guys, ahhh, they grow up so fast.

Just a thought, but what're you going to do if he doesnt like Labatt?



Eggs

 

[CLPgold]

Huggie Bear doesn't have to like Labatt, but I hope he sticks with beer and doesn't drink all the hard stuff. YUK!

Gotta check out that skit too eggs.
