Awww NG, you're hard on yourself hey? Why so, strong girl? It sounds like you're sticking to plan, and training hard. You sure you're not just seeing something more in the mirror that's really there, as your own worst critic?

Thanks Novo. I think we're all our own worst critics

Something weird is going on with my body though. I've gained fat that's for sure...but it's "different" than how I usually gain it. My arms and shoulders look way better but I actually have a little roll in my middle and I've never ever had fat in my stomach. (it's always preferred my butt )

I definitely lack patience. I also hate not really knowing what "works" for me when it comes to diet. That part's my own fault 'cause I never stick with stuff long enough to really learn. Some people say they do better low carb higher fat. Some people say they're fine eating plenty of carbs but really have to watch their fat intake....me? I still don't really know.

I am training hard though. That much I'm happy about.

thanks for stopping by. I'm really liking the training program. Thanks for the encouragement on the diet.

[Novo]

I hear you there ...

Between ourselves? I think I need to start tracking cals, still carb cycling ... but with a little more control

[Jodi]

You know that when TP gives the finger your in trouble!

 

[Novo]

Ah, now ordinarily I know you would be right Jodi ... but I'm 9,935 miles away - he doesn't scare me! TP, you and too many oats ...

NG, you're closer. So you don't get to change plan or to count cals, 'k?

 

[Twin Peak]

Would you like your password revoked from my private forum? Eh?

There are many pains and penalties I can inflict.

 

[nikegurl]

nooooo!!!!! not the password. i'm being good.

i haven't missed a workout. i'm busting my ass every single time and i'm not even eating bread. (i have a long long history of bread calling my name)

 

[Novo]

Well, since I'm apparently unable to read and follow instructions in there anyway ... I guess I may in fact be better PM'ing Jodi for help in the first place hey, stoopid Novo


I'm just playing wit ya TP, you know I love the training AND the carb cycling (... note to self ... any calorie counting shall be done in secret, not in the journal)

Sorry NG, I'll get out of your journal now! Though ... why does this thing say I'm offline, when I am HERE?!

 

[nikegurl]

no need to apologize Novo. i like when you visit.

 

[Twin Peak]

LMAO at all of this.

Anyway, Nike, if the Basic Carb Cycle is not for you, why not try an altered cycle, like the one Jodi does?

 

[Jodi]

Too funny

Novo, you're in trouble.

 

[nikegurl]

...by the way, i've decided not to take my calories quite as low as i said yesterday. i figured if it works - what will i do? i won't be able to go any lower and i won't be able to live w/1350 calories long term so i'm going to go with 1540 (has worked in the past) and fiddle w/cardio and ratios if/when it stops working.

i'll go with 50%P, 30%C and 20%F to start. i have to really learn what works for me.

 

[PreMier]

Good luck, you will find the path

Yes, when were you going to start the HIIT?

 

[Jill]

I wouldnt be able to live off of 1350 cals either...Id be miserabe!!

I hope everything works out for you.

You squirmy?? I was the one that moving around. First we are talking by the front of the front desk, then I moved to the side of the desk and then across the way by the wall.... LOL you'd think I was nervous or something

She's a doll!!! First impressions always count and you definately are good person!!

Hey at least I called you by your real name. Would have been to weird yelling "nike gulr"... LOL

 

[nikegurl]

ignore him. i was squirmy

now....on to other business.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
I am no longer referring to myself as fat or talking about how fat I've gotten. It feels whiney and weak. Neither are traits I particularly admire. So I wasn't getting fat people. I was bulking. The next time I bulk I will be far more deliberate and chose only clean foods. But that's in the future. Now I'm cutting. I'm not fat. I'm just at the end of my bulking phase.

 

[Pitboss]

That a gurl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Novo]

You're funny NG, I likes your attitude!

Now, how's about I PM Johnny and ask him to come in here with some sage advice for you, diet and cardio wise? Oh, he says to keep away from those heavy weights you've been lifting btw, they put them in the gym for the BOYS (didn't you know that, silly old NG!)

 

[nikegurl]

Thank PB. I'm finally sick of complaining.

Hi Novo. I shouldn't let Johnny get to me but OMG the CRAP he's telling people! Wanna beat him up after school?

 

[nikegurl]

I'm really really crazy sore from the dropsets this week. (that doesn't count as complaining - it's just logging the facts)

ow.

 

[Saturday Fever]

You fat?

Not complaining at all. You are just stating that you have had great workouts and it shows!!

Hey do you always workout with your bf?? or mostly by yourself??

I LIKE this guy. Up until yesterday I would have said - hell yeah I'm fat. Even have a little belly going for the first time in life. But since I'm changing my tone...TODAY I'm going to say that I'm on my way to a better bodyfat percentage (instead of fat) .

 

[nikegurl]

PB...the training alone/with BF thing is hard to answer. when we were in Venice we trained together all the time. Lately he rarely comes with me. he usually says he is coming but when it's actually time to roll....he doesn't.
