Hi! from what I understand you are trying to loose fat, is this right?

If this is so, my opinion would be to change some of the main sources of carbs. For example, you're basing more on fruits and starches (like oats)... maybe you can add some rice or slow digesting carb, so that you don't slim your muscles up.

Please let me know your goals for this menu.

 

[Jacqueline747]

That is the goal....lol I'm a bit scared of this plan.. .I came off of low carb.
Do you have any advice Nikkita?

Whoops.. somehow I missed your 2nd post above...

WEDNESDAY

I forgot to take my morning temperature again!! That could be because I didn't wake up at home this morning. It is Waaaaayyyyy to convenient having a HOTTIE live across the street....muhahahahahah

I am starting to add in morning cardio to my routine. So I did 15 mins on the eliptical before breakfast. I will add 5 mins or so a day until I get upt to 30 mins then start on HIIT. I do cardio at the gym as well so hopefully adding this morning cardio will help.

M1 7:30am

1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
0.5 scoop whey protein
1Tbsp Cinnamon
2Tbsp Splenda
1 cup 0% fat free milk

You're fast! I was just editing my last response hehehe

If you like fruits, there are different fruits with low levels of sugar that can aid to your dieting... ie., papaya, watermelon, strawberries and melon.
If you like banana, you can add it in the morning. You can also add green banana, this one can be eaten boiled.

For proteins, my opinion is to add a whole source for meals 2 & 3 since you will be working out after that. As it's important to consume protein post workout, it is also important pre-workout.

another question... at what time do you go to sleep?

I thought oats were slow digesting? Should I change my post work out shake fruit to berries? Isn't rice a starch?

Hmmm.... I have never heard of green banana... oh wait do you mean an unripe banana?...lol
I think my cottage cheese combo will be my last meal of the day and add almonds instead of the blueberries. The chicken or fish I will change to meal #3 and maybe add in some b. rice or sweet potato.
Does that sound better?

I normally wake up at 3am and go to bed around 10 or 11pm.
My work out is at 2:30pm.
I've been on holidays this week.... BUT I GO BACK TO WORK TOMORROW!! AHHHHHHH!!!!

Hi Jacquie, I remember you

Quick question, why are you on golden seal root?

I was editing hehehe I pressed some key in the computer and sent the post before I even finished...

From your measurements at the beginning I can tell that you are carrying most of your fat on the upper body. Don't know what your previous wkout for this was, but try to focus more on the upper half... meaning... try that the exercises for all this part are either free weight or own weight.

On the other hand, you can add hanging leg raises to your ab routine... this will help to gradually strenghten your mid section. If you find this hard, try at first with those similar to ab-originals.
