Just doin' it

[Jenny]

Ok, so I've been journaling on MM.com since january.. The place have become pretty slow.. Many of the old MM-people have gone here instead.. and I feel like I could use some change..
So, I'm starting a journal here instead!

Perhaps I should tell you some things about myself.. I'm 18, living in Sweden.. Have been lifting since the end of year 2000 and am now trying to cut up for summer!
The plan to do this is to go pretty low carb.. around 60-100g a day.. protein around 200g and fat around 40-50g.. which basicly adds up to 1500-1700 calories.. And I usually have a cheat day once a week..

Would you like some pics??

Ok, coming right up..

 

[Jenny]

Ok.. first one..

[Jenny]

Princess- yeah, I know.. there's not as much action anymore.. We'll just have to make this our frequent hang-out now!

Tank- Thanks! You bet I'll keep it up.. and IMPROVE it..

...But the ultra-clean thing will have a lil' break tomorrow and saturday.. Tomorrow will be great food and workout-wise.. but I suspect there'll be some serious drinking.. I have a big party-night planned.. Lot's of fun.. And saturday is cheat day.. I know I should save drinking for cheat days, but it doesn't happen very often.. So this one will have to be overlooked!

 

[Stacey]

OKAY WE will overlook your drinking tomorrow night!! I do that too..sometimes I will drink on a saturday night..then Sundays are my cheat days...but I recover better that away!! ya, this will definalty be our new hangout..I can see it already!!

cheating every once in awhile is a good thing, you can go stir crazy after months of eating right and training hard.go enjoy yourself.. only wish i was there

Ok, so I've been a BAD girl this weekend (no pornal comments on that Kuso... ).. The saturday cheat-dat extended into sunday.. was not meant to happen.. I did good up until 3:00PM.. Then I went to my boyfriend's family for dinner... His mother had a birthday.. And since they're italian, with a packed food- culture, the whole table was stuffed.. I don't think I've ever seen so much food.. And since his mom takes it personally if you don't eat.. I ate.. Ok, that was a fairly good excuse.. But it doesn't justify me eating the cake and chocolate later.. Nope..
I screwed up.. But you must admit that it was a pretty tough situation..

Oh well, I'll dust myself off... start fresh and go down to the basement and get some cardio done!!

I'm changing my diet.. This high fat lower carbs isn't working for me.. I started cutting down in january.. back then I ate around 100-150g carbs, 170-200g protein and 30-45g fat..
Doing that I lost 8 pounds..
Well, then I started higher fat and lower carbs.. sometimes as low as 20g of carbs.. and since I started that, I've gained all of my 8 pounds back.. stepped on the scale today.. and I actually started crying.. it sucks so bad... now I have been switching the numbers up and tried carb-cycling and stuff.. But I'm gaining.. not loosing..

This really sucks.. So now, once and for all, I'm going BACK to moderate carbs, low-mod fat and high protein.. That has worked for me before and I think I should go for that.. this is making me very frustrated..

*giving myself a pep-talk*Ok NG.. come on.. get that spirit back now.. remember, you're a cheerleader.. should be full of spirit..

 

[Chalcedony]

I feel your pain... i tried the whole high fat low carb and gained weight.... so i went back to my old diet and now im losing it again... don't give up girl
