Andrea's Journal

[ncgirl21]

Thanks Jstar!! The scale sucks! I threw mine out. Now I only weigh once a week at the Y usually. The protein powder I've got now is Pro Proformance GNC Chocolate Carmel, it's really not bad, but it only has 21 grams of protein for 120 calories and 3 g. carbs. I bought a bag (14 day supply) for 10 bucks, so not really pricey either!

atherjen- Yup, I packed my meals (2 and 3) . So I have the apple with my salad, protein shake by itself and what............ about 1/4 cup cooked brown rice with meal 4???

Today I'm training chest/shoulders/tricpes.

 

[atherjen]

I knew it! haha thats ok. have the apple with that meal 2, and if you want to move the peanuts to meal 3 with your shake. but if its already on your salad then chow down!
make it 1/2 - 3/4c brown rice at meal 4.

ahhh the fun workout!! :bounce: Let me know how it goes!

 

[ncgirl21]

hey girlie! sore from the workout already?? how did you make out?

Saturdays diet looks great although you need one more fat source in there. meal 2 or 3 would be great. and add 1 more serving of fiberous veggies!

Sunday, in meal 1 you need a lil more protein in there. more cottage cheese or egg whites or whey protein. doesnt matter. chicken even. hehe
other then that looks great!! and enjoy that cheat meal too! dont pick at the food, eat to your desire!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend girl!

 

[ncgirl21]

Yeah, I'm already a little sore when I raise my arms, but nothing like I will be in the morning, or Sunday morning for that matter!!

How's this, I'll add either some peanuts or 1 T. olive oil to meal 3 and I'll add some green beans and lettuce & tomatoe to meal 5.

For Sunday I'll add 2 hard boiled egg whites to meal 1.

How's this sound??

Oh, I'll eat , I'll just *try* to make the best choices (even though I think everything is fried), but hey- it's still got protein

Have a good weekend Sweetie, I hope you don't get anymore snow!!

 

[Stacey]

Hey girlie!!

your meals look great!! !

What taebo tape do you do?? Your making me want to find mine--hmm? Wonder where they are.? LOL

 

[ncgirl21]

Hey Stacey !! I've got Billy Blanks first tapes. I did the beginner's tae bo this morning (about 30 min.) and I'm going to to the advanced version tomorrow. . I'd like to get the pilates tape and do them some, I heard they really get your abs!!

 

[Stacey]

I have those same tapes!!!

OH I LOVE My Pilates tapes!!!! I have a karen Voight one-and a Denise Austin one!

 

[ncgirl21]

Which one do you like better, workout wise (Pilate tapes?)

 

[Stacey]

ummmm?? I am actually looking for a new one--a more intense one. The Denise Austin one is good if you have never done pilates...its a good stretch if you are use to pilates though.

 

[ncgirl21]

Have you ever tried Windsor Pilates?

 

[Stacey]

I worked out with it on TV when they were on--If I had the money I would get that...

If you do--you should!
Go to Windsorpilates.com
and you can order off the website

Or Target has it!

I hope you dont get too sick from the fried food. I know it bothers my tummy some. are you ok digesting it?

no more snow for me! I pray! you have a great weekend too!

hmm I have never tried any tapes before. although I do have Denise Austins Pilates book, was doing that a few times a week.. talk about awesome stretching! owww

 

[Jenny]

Hey Andrea

Wow, you're really doing great Things are really improving!

Hey, you should bring your boyfriend when you come to visit in Virginia We could all go work out and then have a nice cheat meal together Well, I should probably be accepted to the University first before we start making plans

Have a great weekend girl! Enjoy your cheat! I wish I could have some too Need to wait til Justin gets here

 

[ncgirl21]

Morning everyone!! Cheat meal was good, ate too much BUT I think I'm allergic to something because I'm bloated, which is normal I guess after a cheat, but my fingers are sooooo swolen.

Today:

Tae Bo Advanced- about 50 minutes

Meals 1: 1 cup egg beaters, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoe
1 fish oil

Workout: back/biceps

Meal 2: salad with 5 oz. canned chicken

Meal 3: protein shake

Meal 4: protein shake (in between class)

Meal 5: lots of veggies, 4 oz. chicken

I feel so bloated I don't want to eat!!!

 

[atherjen]

eat missy!
hope that bloat goes away!! it might have been the clams since it happened so fast after u ate it. allergic reaction. yikes.

I hit you back with an email and made some suggestions for diet today!
more healthy fats

Have a great workout girl!

 

[greekblondechic]

yeah seafood is a problem for a lot of people, plus all that extra sodium will make u hold on to water, just drink more and itll go away

hope you are feeling better soon!

 

[ncgirl21]

Thanks girls. I drank two cups of black coffee and now I'm peeing like crazy!! My fingers are almost back to normal!! No more seafood for me though!!

Has anyone ever tried the new Tae Bo tapes? I've got the old ones, but I'd like to get the new ones too??

 

[atherjen]

another email coming your way girlie! :bounce:

glad to hear the bloat is dissipating. I hate being bloaty sooo bad.!

hmmm Ive never even tried TaeBo. let me tell you though, I am a RAGDOLL when I do kickboxing classes n stuff.

 

[ncgirl21]

Workout was great!! I just can't wait until I can lift some heavier weights!! The way the machines are at the gym, you have to increase by 20 lbs and I can't do that, but I do feel like I can do heavier, oh well!!

atherjen- you should see me try to do aerobics- it's scary!! I am sooo uncoordinated!! :bounce: I end up just bounching around!!

 

[ncgirl21]

A.M. Workout: 8 min. abs and 8 min. buns
(Was going to do Pilates, but I turned my alarm off on accident- it really was!!)

Meal 1: 1 cup egg whites, spinach, mushrooms
1 fish oil

** Cardio **

Meal 2: salad w/ 5 oz. canned chicken
Will sprinkle on 1/2 cup fiber one cereal depending on what atherjen says

Meal 3: protein shake

Meal 4: 4-5 oz. chicken, lots of veggies, salsa
Maybe 1/4 cup brown rice and La Tortilla Factory Low Carb Tortilla
1 fish oil

** Pilates **

Maybe I should add 1/2 cup LF cottage cheese and 1 tbs. peanut butter??
1 fish oil

Is there a difference (calorie/fat wise) between 5 oz. canned chicken and 5 oz. boneless skinless cooked chicken?

 

[Jill]

Check fitday-1oz chicken breast is about 8.5grams of protein, min fat. Check your can for the canned chicken!

 

[ncgirl21]

Will do Jill- Thanks!

No fiber one with my salad, I've not talked to AJ yet and don't want to eat it without her say so, so I'll wait until tomorrow for carbs !!

Did 39 minutes on the eliptical

 

[ncgirl21]

Okay, I think I'm going to have the 1/2 cup of fiber one with my protein shake.

Dinner will be the same as I posted with the brown rice and I'll add in another meal of PB and Lf cottage cheese!!

 

[atherjen]

gosh I was slow with the reply today wasnt I. darn work. Ok have the fiber 1 with the shake! that works too! add the rice to the meal 4 and then defintly have meal 5 of cc and pb and swallow that darn fishy cap! haha

oh yes and u have mail!

 

[ncgirl21]

LOL!! I'm going to take the fishies. They're just so darn long!!

They remind me of those OTC birth control that you can put in you . before you have sex. Okay, maybe that was too much info.!!

 

[atherjen]

omg! haha

If I can swallow FIVE at once, you can do 1

 

[ncgirl21]

I feel like shit today!!

Last night, a car ran the stop sign right in front of our house and hit Travis truck and drove right on through the back yard and out around front and took off. We had to call the cops and all that and ended up down at the magistrate's office. Thankfully, they got the asshole. He didn't even have the decency to say that he was sorry. He was drunk anyhow though. It messed his car up a lot worse than Travis' but he's still got to pay for the damages. So, I was up from 1 this morning until about 3:30. I got up at 5:30 to do Tae Bo, but I just couldn't. I was soooo sleepy I just had to go back to bed for a little bit. It's the second wreck we've had there in the past three weeks. I think if we ever decide to have kids, we'll have to definatly sell the house.

A.M.: Attempted Tae Bo- was way to sleepy

Meal 1: I made 1 cup egg whites w/ mushrooms and spinach but I felt so sick that I didn't even eat half of it

1/2 cup LF cottage cheese, 1/4 cup fiber one

Workout: Leg Day

Meal 2: salad w/ 5 oz. chicken; 1/4 cup fiber one

Meal 3: 2 hard boiled egg whites, 1 green apple

Meal 4: protein shake

Meal 5: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 tbs. peanut butter (when I get a tbs.- I get a full one, is it suppose to be level?
2 fishies (left bottle at home)
