10:30am 1/2 protein bar
12:30pm 2 peanut butter rice cakes

Sweetie! Don't think of this as a bad day, think of it as a new start! Cutting down on the protien is a good thing, I promise. Maybe one less bar per day, Myoplex Lite instead of regular Myoplex, a little Fiber One here, one apple there...you'll be fine and you'll do great!! :):)
 
Thanks for the pep talk! You are right today is a new start!
 
Hello Adidas!

I just read your journal and I wish you good luck and the best!

I noticed your from Atlanta! I'll be there in 8 days to start destroying things! LOL! Just kidding!
 
Hey Adidas, sorry I don't come in too often, but could I offer some advice.

You are doing all kinds of cardio and weights, but your food intake doesn't look that high. Have you ever determined the amount of calories you are taking in. Also calculate your BMR to see how many calories your body needs just to exist. You may be in a mode that your body will not shed fat stores for nothing. Can you cut out the protein bars.

I think you need to do what Leslie2196 needed to do eat more. Get your caloric intake at 2000 calories per day. It won't happen overnight, but you need to jump start your metabolism into burning fat again. It just isn't right.

Just my 2 cents, hope you don't mind.

Hope your day gets better. :D
 
Craig777....thanks for the advice! If I cut out the protein bars what would be a good substitution?

One point was that I was taking in too much protein. I guess my next question is how much protein should I be intaking? I am weighing in at 154-160...BF% is unknown. I promise Miss LeDix I would get it done ASAP :) I have been taking about 100 grams of protein a day.

Looks like my average for the last three days is about 1080 cal (43% protein, 19%fat, 39%carbs).
 
My BMR is 1781.57...that was using my current weight. Obviously I am not eating enough
 
I would say 100 grams of protein and lifting weights is not enough protein, and 1080 calories is way way not enough calories. I am trying to get in 1.5 - 2 grams protein per pound of body weight. You are getting about 0.75 grams per pound of body weight. The percentages look good to me, but you need to get at least 2000 calories a day. That is really not many calories, it really isn't you have to reprogram your mind to not think you have to eat 1000 calories a day.

Solid real food is always best over protein shakes and protein bars. I make all my meals the night before, or sometimes on the weekend, and I go to work with a bag full of tupperware with meals in them.

If you can't do that, then I guess it would have to be a bar. I am not up on bars, but research them.

Ask Leslie what she is doing, she is working with w8 and DP and has it down. She is always willing to help out someone else.

Start with that, you should be getting at least 1800 calories a day.
 
Thanks! I'll see if Leslie can advise as well. I'll be sure to post my progress and what changes I will be making
 
Thursday, August 1...START of MY NEW WAYS. I am feeling a lot better than yesterday and I owe that to many of you for your encouraging words and advice (thanks Leslie and Craig777 )

I am going to use the pics that were taken last Friday as my before. Once I get them I will be posting them....Miss LeDix you can hold me to that one..

Oh come on, how about a little fat with that meal. Like yolk or pB? You need your fat!!!


Ok I won't bother you anymore, but I had to get that out!:p
 
Leslie,

Thanks for the feedback... I need it! What if I added wheat toast and peanut butter to that meal?
 
No wheat toast of you are having the oats- way too many carbs.

I have found a tbsp of PB on top of my oats is very yummy. Or you can throw in two yolks with your eggwhites. You really should try and stray away from bread as it is highly glycemic and will easily turn to sugar.
 
Leslie, at the gym Adidas told me she was having four whites and one yolk. She switched her story!! :)
 
LOL..She is like I was : A cardio freak/Fat phobic! LOL
She will come around eventually;)
 
I am laughing b/c Leslie nailed it right on the head. That is me..cardio freak and fat phobic. It doesn't help that I am a picky eater as well. I need to go do some serious grocery shopping at Miss LeDix's favorite store and get organized.
