Fortuantely, my bosses don't really care what time I come in as long as I get 40hrs in each week. I'd be a walking zombie if I had to get up at 6:30 every morning!!!

WOW Lucky you! I bet with your kids it is nice to be able to "pick" your hours! I would work 1030 to 630 if it were up to me! But I don't have a family to feed.

I did better yesterday though, I got to the gym at 830 (1/2 later than I wanted, but better than 930!) I trained til 10:45 (my chest/calves/cardio took longer than I thought) So I got to be an hour earlier at 1230! I feel refreshed today!!

AND tonight will be even better, home by 10 eatting my CARB UP and watching the first 4 episodes of sex in the city I taped!

 

[Stacey]

oh oh oh.. Those first 4 episodes of Sex and The city are GREAT!!! I watched #4 last night!!
I am glad u feel refreashed today! Keep up your new schudule!!

Well good luck w8 or should I said DP.

The decaff for me at least settles the coffee urges in the morning. Doesn't wake me up though but I still need it.

 

[Leslie]

POOR DP No wonder I haven't heard from him lately! LOL

Hi Leslie - You're doing great! I have a question for you.

I see you frequently eat lean ground beef. What does the one you buy say on it? When I look on fitday.com they have "lean ground beef" and "extra lean". I'm not sure what corresponds to what. (does that make sense?)

I've been avoiding it since I don't know what is lean and what is extra lean. Some say things like ground round and others say 85% lean etc.....

Also when you measure 4 oz is that the cooked weight or raw?
Thanks for the help. It's be cool to add another protein source to my diet.

Hey Nikegurl, thanks for stopping in!

I buy the package that says 93% lean ground beef. (21g P, 8g F, 0g C per 4oz serving) You will know its leaner too by the color. The 85% and 80% are more pinkish from all the fat.

Back in NJ i was able to buy 96% lean beef at 6g F per serving, but I have not found that here in MD. Adding beef is a good thing, as you can see I eat it every morning because chicken and tuna can be blah!

Also, all beef is weigh BEFORE cooking.
Hope this helps!

 

[nikegurl]

helps a lot! thanks! i'll buy a pound and split it into 4 servings. just checking my math - would it be 156 calories for 4 oz of 93% lean?

for some crazy reason i'm still enjoying tuna but chicken and turkey start to get on my nerves after too many days in a row. i eat them anyway but i don't like it too much lately. the beef is cool b/c it's easy to prepare and not expensive. thanks again!

 

[Leslie]

No prob NG!
Yes it is about 156 cals. I hear you on the chicken, tuna and fish are stil enjoyed by myself too! I think i despise chicken because I cook so damn much of it for my BF and I! LOL

 

[nikegurl]

hey - me again..... sorry to be a pest.

fitday.com lists "extra lean" ground beef as 244 calories, 16 g fat and 24 g protein for 4 oz uncooked weight.

do you think they're calling the 85% extra lean? i'm such a worrier but i don't want to be eating 16 g fat when i'm calculating it as 8....you know how the numbers go. we always want to get them right! i hate the not knowing. help? are you pretty sure the 93% lean has 8 g fat in 4 oz? i wish it said on the packages - but it doesn't here. thanks again!

LOL you are not pest! In fact you remind me of myself! LOL

Fitday is general sometimes. TRUST ME.....Every package of 93% lean I have ever bought has ALWAYS been 8g Fat. I am posting something in NUTRITION for you

Morning Craig! Bed? er, um 130am....BUT I was home from the gym at 1030PM. (one hour earlier!) but I ended up watching the first 4 episodes of Sex in the City I had taped and eatting my carb up. My poor boyfriend, what I put him through! LOL He couldn't take it anymore so he ended up playing playstation in the bedroom (yes he is 28 year ols successfull sales mgr, I don't get it? LOL)because I tied up the big TV!!! HA!
So needless to say I am a little sleepy today! and its only 945am.....

 

[naturaltan]

he he ... I'm 35'ish and I still play PS2 for sometimes a whole night ...

 

[Stacey]

Morning Leslie! So what did u think about the new sex and the city episodes? All of them are changing so much!
Have a great day sleepy head!

Morning NT--35ish? LOL

Morning P! Sex in the CIty was good the first three episodes were ok, but the 4th was FUNNY. It was when Carrie walked in on Samantha blowing the Worldwide express guy....
I think Carries is getting ugly actually. The hair and makeup are yucky and her clothers are even worst! Charlotte is coming along nicely fromt he divorce, but why do they dress her up in outfits from the fifties? Samantha is fuqing cool! She rocks! And the redhead- um I forgot her name, she gained some weight I think becasue she was pregnant in real life. the fat ass incident in the casino was pretty funny! I don't know how much longer this show will be on, how many things can they go thruugh? LOL

 

[Stacey]

Heya Leslie!! Ya the 4th episode was really funny! Did you see the one from this past sunday..Carrie's party? that one was good to! I think They dress Carrie goofy too..but thats just her style, plus she is pregnant in real life and they are covering that up! Charolottes clothes are really bad huh!! I don't know why they dress her like that.. she had a HOT guy on this past episode though! Samantha is always hilarious on the show! Shes WILD! Miranda did just have a baby in real life! She actually has on a body pad thing under her clothes, because they wanted her to be fatter than what she really was..go figure! I LOVE The show though!! Its my FAVORITE!! I hope it stays on for a long time, but your right..how much more can they go through?? I read that its suppose to be on for another 2-3 yrs though!! YEAH!!! Carrie is my favorite!! But I do like her old hair much better!

ANYWay~~ have a good day sweetie!

NT- I can't do 135lbS!!! LOL I included the bar weight in my stats, so 6/90 would be 45lb of added plates!

and the pull ups are done lyning on the floor using the Smith machine,so I am not lifting all my BW. I wish I was that strong though! I am getting there!

I would too..ha!
Sounds like that was a Pisser!
YOUR MEALS ARE SOOOO AWESOME~ One day I will be like you..one day!

HOLY COW~ I just say this!! 17 OZ. OF CHICKEN!!! DAMN GIRL!

 

[w8lifter]

that has to be a typo, lol

 

[nikegurl]

too funny - there's a theme here. i had 48 steps up to my office building this morning. i've never counted them before but after the leg challenge (the workout w8 has on her website) my legs are wrecked!

i don't think i would have made 68......i love mustard but i would have skipped it.

have a great day Leslie! (by the way after all my ground beef stress i got to the store and guess what - it WAS labelled. 8 grams of fat in 4 oz. too funny.)

 

[Leslie]

P~ Yes I counted them! LOL, my meals are boring but I have gotten used to it. I look fwd to Oatmeal! There is a prob with that!

and W8 was right- 17 oz chicken IS a typo! LOL That would be ALOT of chicken!! LOL

NG~ Hey girl! The leg chlange does look painful! It wasn't just the mustard it was my safflower mayo(the rest of my fat for that meal) See how godamn anal I am !!LOL

As for the beef.......ha! I told ya so , Glad you picked some up , now you can get out of chicken hell sometimes!

 

[nikegurl]

ahh....i would have had to gone back for the mayo too. can't mess the numbers up!

 

[Jodi]

I know off subject but I thought I would throw this in. I had safflower mayo yesterday for the first time with grilled chicken and it was wicked good. Try it.

I have used it in my tuna, and did not care for it. Used it on my eggs..YUM, and used it on my beef and flounder, another YUM

Never thought to use it on my chicken though, good idea

 

[Leslie]

Last night I got stuck in gridlock and almost peed in my pants from all that damn water! LOL

I did 25min HIIT (288 cals burned) on the treadmill w/ intervals of 4.0,6.0,7.0,8.0 and 4.0,6.5,7.5,8.0 ect.

Meal three was eaten at 345PM, and I didn't eat meal 4 til almost 1hr45min later AFTER cardio, so basically at 915PM. I was STARVING and lightheaded! BUT the BF made me rush around to get ready for the movies-BLOODWORK- So I ate my chicken and peppers in da movie

Had lots of energy last night probably due to the dyametradrine pill I took, didn't get to bed til 145am and now I am tired as shit! (what else is new?!)

Thank god tommorow is FRIDAY!
