so ready!

[nikegurl]

i think i may resort to smelling olives and peanut butter since i can't eat them.

i'm just glad i like tuna still. and the safflower mayo is plenty tasty. i'd have to say that now the apple i'm allowed is a big event in my day. lol.

 

[dvlmn666]

wohoooo **tossing you an apple**

yeah your cutting back pretty hard, your diet is going to be about as bland as mine.

But hey the results will be worth it.

 

[nikegurl]

...sorry to laugh when you're going through hell but that was funny

So your water intake is at 6 litres right?


5 meals roughly 1650 calories a day.

Meals 1 and 3
35 grams protein
25 grams carb (will choose from oatmeal, brown rice and maybe yam)
15 grams fat

Meals 2,4 and 5
35 grams protein
5 grams carb
15 grams fat


....just a refresher on what you're supposed to be eating Stop worrying about your carbs and eat 'em

 

[nikegurl]

you can laugh. it really isn't hellish. i figure every meal takes me closer to my Body By Pain!

water intake is good. that suffers a bit on weekends too so i have to watch it closely. i always get at least 5 liters in. i'll bump it to 6.

slacking a bit on the veggies too.....(meals 2 4 and 5)
are they really needed or just help you feel full?

friday the fat drops to 10-12 grams. (that will be 10 days)

MONDAY's MEALS

I don't know what has gotten into me. I'm so loving my tuna meals. Tuna with safflower mayo and a few olives. Has to be super cold. I could eat this all day every day. I sort of do....typically is 2 out of 5 meals! I'll still like it without those 6 olives starting Friday.

1.5 whey
1 Tbs flax
1/2 tsp instant coffee (in shake - tastes better this way)
1 medium apple

MEAL 2
1 can tuna
1 Tbs safflower mayo
6 olives

MEAL 3
turkey burger
2 egg whites
1/2 yolk
oatmeal - 1/2 cup before cooking

MEAL 4
1 can tuna
1 Tbs safflower mayo
6 olives

MEAL 5
1.5 servings whey
1 Tbs flax

TOTALS
1690 calories
176 grams protein
79 grams fat
58 grams carbs (54 if you subtract fiber)

Tuna with safflower mayo...hmmm...gotta try that one!

Looks like you're on a roll! Journal is also looking good!

 

[butterfly]

Hey nikegurl

Haven't stopped bye... things look like they're going good for you! Keep up the great work!

 

[w8lifter]

Excellent NG!

 

[tgkfour1]

NG-
Congrats on making the best of that truly tough meal plan.
Give a yell if your going to climb the walls- keep it up and it's gonna be worth it!!!!

All the best- TGK

 

[nikegurl]

thanks everyone! you guys are the best. i'd say most of the time i really don't mind the meal plan. there are things i can eat that i enjoy so i look forward to them. i just wish i could make a rule and ban bread in my house. every so often i open the cabinet in the kitchen and the loaf will haunt me. last night i had a tough time getting to sleep because there was a loaf of hawaiin bread in the house. every try that stuff? it's like dessert!

but seriously - most of the time it's not that hard.

SUNDAY - off

MONDAY's WORKOUT
back to the usualy schedule this week

BICEPS

BB Curls
12 x 35
12 x 45
6 x 55

didn't love these. i used the "pre loaded" barbells. you know where the weights are fixed. 45 lbs was pretty light and 55 was a bit too heavy. i'll stick to the ez curl bar next time (if not using dbs)

DB Curls
2 x 6 x 25

1 Arm Cable Curls
12 x 20
10 x 25

CALVES

Seated Calf Raises
2 x 25 x 45
2 x 10 x 70

I planned to do 2 calf exercises instead of 4 sets on 1 machine. But I missed last calf workout and they were KILLING me after 2 sets so I did 4 and called it a night.

 

[nikegurl]

big news - ran out of olives last night and decided not to get more. may as well transition now before i also lower my fat intake on friday. so today i'm adding a hard boiled egg to my tuna instead of olives.

don't worry peeps - i'll be ok (lol!)

 

[Jodi]

Hye Nikegurl!
I see you've been doing good other than the old PB addiction and Olive addicition. I am still looking for the PB Overeaters Anonymous group. Not having much luck finding one though. How you feeling on the diet tweek? Getting any good gains from it?

 

[nikegurl]

Hi Mochy - The PB is under control. I'm ready to battle the olive thing too. lol. I feel great on the tweak! It's a week today. I'm not really seeing a difference in a week but I'm not very good at that. I think when people are crazy lean and in shape the slightest change in diet will be more obvious to them. I'm not quite that far along yet. I seriously need to get better at seeing myself. I know I feel good and I know I've made a lot of progress since I started. I wish I could tell if the tweak made a change in my body - but I kinda can't.....

 

[Jodi]

I have a hard time telling too. Some days I think I really see a difference and then the next day I feel chunky and bloated again. I don't actually know if this carb deplete and carb up is working for me. I haven't budged in BF or weight. Don't know if I will ever find the right diet for me.

 

[nikegurl]

Hi Mochy - I haven't really lost weight on the scale but i'm actually glad. i know that means i've managed to gain muscle b/c i'm definitely leaner.

I HATE having my picture taken but i'm going to keep doing it every 2 months or so b/c i think it's the best way to see progress. I just did mine last week and i was able to see things (both good and bad) that I didn't realize about my physique. I definitely think it will help to have photos in same attire standing same way like 6-8 weeks apart in time. Not sure why I could see better in photos than in the mirror - but I could. Try it!

 

[dvlmn666]

i think it's because every day you see yourself in the mirror. While pictures you can look at easier and say "wow that's me" but in mirror you try to move so you can see this or that. Instead of just lookin and saying cool I'm improving. Well that's me at least.

Looks like you had some killer workouts, good job.

 

[nikegurl]

i'm gonna have to pop an xenadrine. i haven't been taking these 'cept maybe 1 or 2 times a week to "wake up" before training if i was dragging.

but ohmyheavens i'm hungry today! not sure why. just ate my 2nd meal as planned. (it's been all of 10 minutes) and i'm really hungry! doesn't happen often but i hate it. the xenadrine should take the edge off.

 

[dvlmn666]

sometimes that little kick is nice

I've had that hungry right after eating feeling quite a bit lately lol. Maybe that's why I've kinda been cheating every day. lmao

Good job for sticking strong resisting the urge to eat.

 

[nikegurl]

crazy stupid hungry right now. lol. getting closer to meal #3 though.

kinda cool though....other "diets" left me not wanting to eat when i had to. this is a first. hungry before meal time and actually eating more calories. used to drop to 1,100 to 1,200 and not want to eat at meal time. now i'm 1,600 to 1,700 calories and counting the minutes.

41 minutes by the way ('til meal #3) lol. sorta kidding. (sorta)

 

[dvlmn666]

Well I won't tell you what I just ate then. lol Boss took me to lunch. This place gets weirder every day.

Oh well at least I have a job.

 

[nikegurl]

you ate olives didn't you!!!!! don't lie...i know you did
