The Never Ending Journal to Perfection

[M.J.H.]

Hey there! I absolutely love walking lunges, I used to do them all the time. Good luck Jeanie!

 

[Jeanie]

Walking Lunges...ahhh, I am learning to like them. Hey, do you guys know how many fish oil capsules I should be taking a day and at what times?

 

[klmclean]

Hi Jeanie

You're diet and workouts look great! I'll be following along and cheering you on!

 

[Jeanie]

A strange thing.....I had my bf measured and I am still at 11% but i feel like I have gained weight over the last month. I do weight a few pounds more but it can't all be fat cause I havent' eaten that many calories to excess..I am praying it is just water from the Candy corn

Walking Lunges...ahhh, I am learning to like them. Hey, do you guys know how many fish oil capsules I should be taking a day and at what times?

start with 10 a day
you can spread them throughout your meals for the day except for post workout (no fat needed)

 

[Jeanie]

10 a day? What if I add cheese to a meal. That just seems like a lot...100 calories of fish oil?

Yes! 10 a day fish oil is the best fat you can ever find and especially it helps with the fat burning process when you workout

Hi Jeanie , you've got an awsome body girl!! Way to go! I'll be peeking in on you too.

Sara - don't fishies come in different dosages? That should affect the number of caplets as well?

I take 4-6 a day, each caplet has 1000mg of wild salmon oil, standard ratio of EPA DHA.

 

[Emma-Leigh]

Walking Lunges...ahhh, I am learning to like them. Hey, do you guys know how many fish oil capsules I should be taking a day and at what times?

I think 6, spread through the day (2 in 3 meals... or 3 in 2 meal), is fine for fish oils. This is especially if you are getting enough healthy fats in your diet (salmon, nuts, linseeds).


Anyway - How are things going? I hope it is all settling down a little...


Workout looked great! Ohhh... I LOVE walking lunges!!

 

[Jeanie]

Yea, in that case

dalila, thank you!
Emma - I will try six to start....I have been adding soe cheese to my diet as well...is that okay? And what do you think about a protein bar or 2 during the week? Odessy in particular.

Hey girly! Nice back workout!

As for fish oils (was reading some of the older posts), for me it depends on what I eat throughout the day, as Emma-Leigh said, because I also include some other oils in the food I cook, like sesame, or EVOO, or peanut butter, somewhere, plus the days I have salmon, that's 14g of fat in one 3 oz. serving, so it evens out...

Walking lunges - It's by far one of my favorite glute/quad/ham exercises. I usually do 3-4 sets of 14 steps down the hall, and 14 steps back. I'd do 15 and 15 but i'm so anal about being "even" on both sides hahahaha!

Out of curiosity, since I am new to lunges, how much weight do you use?

 

[GoalGetter]

If I'm only going to do 3 sets, I use 20lb dumbells. if i'm gonna do 4 sets, i use 15lb dumbells.

Once or twice I've used the 50lb ez bar on my shoulders, but i hate having all that weight on my shoulders.

 

[ncgirl21]

Morning Sweetie Just peepin in on ya!! Everything is looking great!!

 

[sara]

Do I need to add my spices and Equal to this list or are they non mentionable And what about the tea and diet soda that I dirnk?

I don't count my spices, vinegar, mustard,etc.. into the list of my meals in my journal
you can list your tea, coffee, etc.. but diet soda

[Paynne]

I've been taking about 6 fish per day and not including it in my fat intake. Is that wrong? Does everyone else include it?

 

[klmclean]

Good morning Jeanie

what is wrong with diet soda?

 

[easton]

Easton, I just started doing this special attention to diet thing. I used to do the same as you. I just decided that I want to see just how lean and healthy I can be. BTW, thank you for standing up to me against you know who. I never meant to insult him but I felt that I was being attacked...this is not the first time that he has done that to me and I just got tired of it.

ehh dont mention it. he's had a little go at me also at the end of that thread, but doesnt bother me as he's obviously a keyboard warrior

Holy ****. I don't think I do that much abs in a month!

Emma - I will try six to start....I have been adding soe cheese to my diet as well...is that okay? And what do you think about a protein bar or 2 during the week? Odessy in particular.

Good to see the fishies being added. They are the best source of fats you can eat and if you are not getting a lot of fatty fish in your diet these capsules are the next best thing.

As for cheese - well, there are better sources of fats (mono unsaturated and poly unsaturated fats like those in avocado, olive oil, seeds and nuts) but if you want it then a bit of cheese is not going to hurt if it is factored into your daily diet.

Just remember than unsaturated fats will help your body to burn fuel more efficiently and to run more efficiently - so you want to make sure that the majority of your daily fats are from these and too many saturated fats will actually block the action of these 'healthy fats' to a certain degree so you are better off limiting them.

And the bars... Well... If it were me I would save those for cheats only. If you want something easy to snack on then you could consider making your own bars insteat - they are far healthier and just as good.


ps: Your diet is looking good! Keep it up!

That is good to know. I will cut out the cheese cause I was only eating it to add fat. I may try to make some bars.
