Starting my "lean" routine

[Jodi]

You want to cheat then hey, I can't stop you but its your body not mine

Hows that for guilt

w/o is good but if you can front raise 12lbs then I think all your other weights could have increased as well

I'll always want to cheat. But my willpower is really good. Im waiting for the day when I wont even care about the forbidden foods anymore. Maybe by then I wont even want any

I have pretty weak shoulders (I want to tone them down).. Is this a decent weight/reps to lift to get stronger and leaner? Or lower intensity at higher reps?

 

[Jodi]

10-12 Rep range is what I stay in and I ALWAYS go to failure.

[Julie7Ulie]

Lost two more pounds today..

Jodi, am I supposed to be sore the day after every workout? Its not as if I just started working out.. Ive been working out for a while. But whatever Ive been working has been really sore. Will the food plan and new w/o schedule do that to my muscles? Just curious..

 

[Jodi]

I'm sore all the time. At least 1 bodypart on me hurts everyday. I love it

Stop being concerned with the scale. It about body composition, not bodyweight. Once you tell me your jeans are loose then thats an accomplishment.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

My jeans are loose actually :bounce:

Im wearing these size 6 capri pants today that were snug all around in the beginning of the month. Now there loose enough to hang on my hips the way there supposed to fit. Feels good! (Could possibly fit in a 4..) Give me a week or two..

I love being sore. Just making sure thats the way its supposed to be

 

[Jodi]

Nice Job!!

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Thanks I LOVE it

Here's a random question. Not really important but curiousity struck I guess.
I take a multi vitamin every morning, and we've already established that my pee is green due to B-Vits.
How come it is some days and other days not at all?
.. Just a thought.. Told ya it was random.

 

[Jodi]

Maybe one day your less B deficient than others.

Theres my random answer -

 

[Julie7Ulie]

My new discovery: (maybe this should go under recipes)

Xlean g. turkey (only 8 g. fat per 4 oz, 20 g protein).

sautee mushrooms, onions and peppers in oil, then throw in xlean g. beef with chipotle spice and pepper to taste..

throw a chili pepper or two in there as it cooks for forty five minutes

Eat heated on a bed of spinach or greens.

Dear God thats good stuff.

[Julie7Ulie]

Jodi, am I allowed everything on the food list? Including hard cheese and brown rice? Whats considered hard cheese, by the way? Parmesan hard, or cheddar hard?

 

[Jodi]

Youv'e gone this long w/o the cheese so my suggestion would be to stay away from it.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Is that on the list mainly to bulk? Ive gone over the list again to see what else I can use in meals, and cottage cheese looked iffy, as well as hard cheese and bananas.

I'll stay away from it. Is the brown rice suggested as well, or better left untouched?

 

[Jodi]

Oh, most definately have Brown Rice.

NO Bananas!

Cottage cheese is fine in moderation.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Cooooool Thanks. More ops for good carbs is a good thing

If Im awake three hours after my fifth meal do I have to eat a sixth? Or is it ok to not eat at all since its bedtime? Whats best?

 

[Jodi]

There is nothing wrong with eating before bed. Your about to go to sleep for 6-8 hours and you won't be getting up in the middle of the night to eat (although I have before cuz I was too freaking hungry to sleep) so your body needs food still.

I always eat within the last hour of being awake. If you start adding in another meal then when need to re-adjust your plan because its not designed for 6 meals a day. How far are you spacing your meals?

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Im spacing my meals about 2-3 hours apart. Normally 3 hours. I should leave it at that then because yesterday, I was spacing at 2 hours apart (starving all day), and i was hungry two hours after my fifth meal and had to eat.

I shouldnt have a problem spacing at 3 hours apart, except on weekends (fridays and Sats) when Im up late, maybe I should re-adjust my plan for those days only..?

 

[Jodi]

Good idea, I do that on the weekends too and go 2.5 hours apart.

On the weekdays I usually go 3.5 hours apart sometimes 4 if I have to but never anymore than 4 hours.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Is it Friday yet ? Im dying at work here.

 

[Jodi]

One more day. Unfortunately I have to cover 3rd shift for Memorial Day so no long weekend for me.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

That sucks Jodi, Im so sorry... Maybe it will rain or SNOW since its freakin freezing outside. That way it wont be so bad working on a holiday.
