Greeky's Big Steps

[Jill]

Down 2 nice job sunshine!!!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!

Hmmmm you dont usually eat salmon do you???? Wonder why you lost your appetite

 

[greekblondechic]

Thanks Jillian.

I don't eat salmon often but I do like it. The same thing happened the other day when I was eating chicken and spinach tho. All of a sudden I just didn't want to eat. I think it's probably cuz I'm sick and trying to eat and breathe at the same time is impossible, so eating actually gets me out of breath lol. Who knew it could be hard work!

 

[Jill]

[Velvet]

Do you have Loblaw's near you Greeky? Cuase it would be really worth it to pick up a digital scale..those cheapies are very inaccurate and the cool digi one at loblaws is only $30!

Oh and good morning!!!!

Hey Viv!

 

[greekblondechic]

Jilly, Today I have the line between my boobs but it is crooked No hipbones yet. Waist measurement corresponds to when I was about 5lbs lighter, does that mean I gained 5lbs of muscle?

Velvet I have never heard of a Loblaw's but when I get a full-time job I'll see where I can pick up a cheap digital one!

Good morning GG!

Ladies, how do you measure out meat that is attached to a bone. Do you only use boneless meats? I don't want to take it all off the bone, and then measure it and eat it, by then it will be cold!

I only get boneless cuts. But I'd venture a guess that you measure what you're gonna eat, so the bone would have to be removed. Sorry!

todays meals

m1: 1/2c oats, 7 ew
m2 tuna, tsp sun tomato drs, 1/2c oats
m3 sirloin steak, broccoli
m4 chicken salad coffee w milk
m5 coffee/lc milk, lc yogurt

 

[greekblondechic]

That is the problem GG, I don't want to remove it before eating it. Besides, the meat on the bone is my favorite part lol, I wonder how accurate the fitday macro's for meat with bone included are, I guess I could give that a try, otherwise I'll have to keep estimating.

or you can remove it once, weigh it, just to have a number to go by, and from then on just eyeball it every time you eat meat with a bone.

 

[greekblondechic]

Good call, I will probably do that. Thanks GG.

 

[Jill]

I only buy boneless meat

I dont *think* you gained 5lbs of muscle-most women dont make those gains in a year. Its hard to say-maybe 1 or 2 pounds. JMHO

 

[greekblondechic]

I feel I have higher hormone levels and put on muscle quicker than the average woman

 

[greekblondechic]

I am very upset about my back hurting again

 

[Jill]

I feel I have higher hormone levels and put on muscle quicker than the average woman

Probably....But are you training that intesely, with heavy weight?

 

[greekblondechic]

I was training heavier before I hurt my back. 8-10reps.

Hello again

Greeky, try it this way to ensure accurate macros:
- weigh the meat (with bone) before eating it
- eat
- then weigh the bone that's left; the difference is excatly what you ate, and hence the weight you put into fitday to get your totals

Tha way you avoid the errors in an estimate, AND don't have to mess around cuttingout the bone/dinner going cold before you eat

[easton]

i agree

 

[dalila]

greeky, didn't I tell you back was a tricky pet to keep? No seriously, please be careful, cuz it always does the same, tricks you into thinking you are better, and then bham! the pain is back.

Seen a doc yet? I really hope it's not a disk! Does the pain travel or is it localised?

 

[greekblondechic]

Hehehe! At least this time I was invited! I am still mad about missing eat chocolate day

Dalila, it is pretty localized to my lower back spinal area. Sometimes I've been having upper back pain and neck pain, but I think that is either due to too much sitting around, or just a side effect but not caused by the injury itself. Mostly it troubles me when I need to bend or sit down or get up, but it bothers me when I am just sitting too. I don't know what it is, but I wish it would just go away. I cannot even stand up as straight as I used to.

 

[Jill]

I was just thinking something...since you are usually hungry in the am why not add a few yolks with your whites?

 

[dalila]

greeky, pls pls see a good doctor, it might be just a weird muslce pull but it could be a disk too. pls find out which one it is before you continue with ur regular back and legs workouts.
