Starting my "lean" routine

[Julie7Ulie]

0 per large olive in fitday.
But for 20 olives it says 10 g of fat.

Can we have olives with drinks? (alcoholic drinks, that is..) they arent carbs..

 

[Jodi]

Yeah just be sure to eat them as part of your meal and not alone.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Im a green olives FREAK. we'll see though. I may not even find 'em tonight..

I think I could hit 20lbs with help.. I still sway with 15 lbs and dont feel like IM doing these correctly. I figures to concentrate on 12's would be ok.

[Julie7Ulie]

I forgot to measure myself again.

But here are the updates..

Im at 149 lbs, which is higher than before, but I gained a lot of muscle - my back fat is all gone, my arms are slowly shrinking..

My main goal now is to be happy with my stomach and upper arms. I have annoying genes.

Ever since the weekend, Ive been feeling a bit bloated - Im blaming that on my night out.. And Im working hard to get back into the butt of the plan. Hope Im not doing too bad..

My plans: Maybe finish out this plan, go back to the one I was one, add more cardio and then maintain.. ? We'll see..

My BF test is rescheduled for July 8..

 

[Jodi]

As long as your still seeing progress. Once you've gone 6 weeks on this plan we'll come up with something new for you so your body doesn't acclimate

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Well I havent been seeing much progress since last week.

I dont know whats been so difficult lately, but Ive been missing meals, and all last week I didnt feel like working out (though I did) - I just feel lazy. When that happens I feel so bloated and tires and fat and .. .. .. blah.

Maybe its the heat.. , who knows. I just need to get with it.

Do you ever have this problem? The Lazy syndrome?

 

[Jodi]

Yes I do but I snap out of it quickly.

No more drinking binges and start EATING your meals. Skipping meals is almost as bad as cheating. Get with the program. How do you know you haven't made progress. Throw your fucking scale out the fucking window! Take your tape measurements

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Its been almost a month since I weighed myself. I was curious.

Which is better to keep track of progress? BF measurements, or tape measurements?

 

[Jodi]

Both. Tape Measurements weekly - you can get a tape for 99 cents at any craft store.

Bodyfat ever 4-6 weeks.

If your pants are looser and you look better in the mirror and you feel better, than you've made progress.
