Just wanted to pop in and say what a great day I was having!! I had a 3 day laps in my workout, but got up early and to the gym this morning. I have changed my meals and my workouts with some (really a lot of) help from Mochy (Happy Birthday!). For some reason (that time of the month maybe???) I gained 5 more pound (170 lbs) on top of the 2 I had alreadey gained the week before. I was really bummed. Anyway, this morning the scale told me good news! I was down to 165 lbs. again. Yes! I think I am settling into my new diet and workout schedule...now it is time to drop some bf!!

Thanks mochy!!

If you have been working out, it could be muscle. Or just extra water. Don't worry about the scale, just go on how you LOOK

 

[buff_tat2d_chic]

Oh yeah, I have been unusually hungry today. I am sticking to my planned meals really well. I only have 20 min to my next one and Mmmmm...I can't w8 (but I will). Eating every 3 hours makes it easier to not cheat because its not a long time to have to w8 until it is time to eat again. I hope it passes though.

 

[Leslie]

Being hungry is a GOOD thing!!! It means your meal plan is working, in other words, your metabolism is REVVED UP!! Good job

Hey NB! Doing great. The brussel sprouts are fine. Try excluding the veggies from your totals. They don't really count. Also the reason that your protein is lower today is cuz of meal 2.

Take care

Yum on the brussel sprouts! Do I not ad the veges to FitDay at all?

Do calories and protein from the veges not count??

And for meal #2...I should ad more egg whites, right?

I am still using FitDay totals with veges. I don't know if I am supposed to not add them to Fitday at all or what. Do I not add veges and try to reach my goals without the veges #'s? Do I need to to used protein # from veges just not carbs? I am confused again. Whats new? LOL

 

[Jodi]

Hi NB - I don't even add the veggies at all into fitday. As long as your eating the right amounts they don't even count in your daily totals.

Body fat test

I scheduled a body fat test with a trainer at my gym for tomorrow. I am soooo nervous. When I had it done 6 weeks ago she said we would check in again in 3 months...I was thinking DAMN that is forever away and didn't worry about it anymore. Now I want to see how I am progressing - if I am progressing at all. I am nervous that I will be the same 26% I was or even worse...more I have eaten right so I hope it is not more and I have worked out religously so maybe it is better Don't pay any attention to me...I just need to vent because I am nervous.

I will post my results, good or bad, tomorrow.

Woo Hoo!! I got 2 complements today. A pretty built guy from the fire dept here works out at the same gym I do. I see him quite often. Well today he came over and said "I just wanted to know how much weight you have lost?" So I told him. Then he went on to say that he has seen me workingout over the past few month and said to himself if I continued to workout as hard as I was then I was going to really lose weight and change my body. Then he told me he thought I looked great and I was doing a great job! I felt sooo good after that. I was walking on air when I left the gym and went to the grocery store. While I was in line a lady came up to me and said "WOW" you must workout a lot. I told her yes and chatted for a minute. I was really on cloud nine when I left the store. Just wanted to tell you about my great morning.

If you haven't seen my before and after pics...go to my web site at the bottom of my post.

Woo Hoo!!!

I went and had my bf tested today. Was I ever nervous. The trainer kept checking herself because the caliper #'s were different than what she expected. I weighed in at 163 lbs. (167 last time), so I am back to 85 lbs of weight lost.

That is only 4 pounds lighter than I weighed when she tested me 6 weeks ago...BUT I was at 23% body fat instead of 26%! I was so excited. That means I am definitely going in the right direction. The trainer was really surprised. I told her that I was hitting the weights pretty hard. I guess she didn't believe me.

Does anyone know how to figure out how much muscle I put on? I am just curious.

I am losing weight steadily. I have lost about 3% every 6 weeks since January. Isn't that cool?
