Hey Y'all!

[Jen10]

I'm new to the site and wanted to say hi and introduce myself.

My name is Jen. Im 25, 143 lbs.(most days) 5'6.5", BMI 22, Body fat 18% i have played softball competitively for 15 years until I had to have 3 major shoulder surgeries. needless to stay I feel like I'm in the best shape I've been in awhile but have reached a plateau and kinda of need a push. I can fluxuate weight by 10 lbs in a week no problem when I have an emotional issue. Mainly caused by not seeing my very overworked boyfriend. Im an admitted sugaraholoic! when I'm good I eat 6-7 times and workout for a few hours before work m-f. and usually sat morning as well. I do only about 20 min of cardio a few times a week. I apparently lose muscle extremely quick. My diet consists mostly of turkey burgers, chicken w/ 1 cup mixed veggies, roasted sweet potatoes. apples, almonds, 24g protein shakes post workout and before bed. I dont seem to vary my workout too much but, i have started looking through the site and saw some great suggestions yall have given other ppl that i cant wait to try.

Welcome Jen,

Emotional issues are tough...especially for us ladies. Some quick advice. Make sure to "control" your cheating. If you have to eat ice cream don't eat the whole gallon. Also, find somebody to workout with. Having someone to keep you accountable and motivated really helps when those emotional swings kick in. (You could also lose the boyfriend...JK)

Thx Rebecca...keep trying to get rid of the bf, cant seem to do it. He just took on 11 more clients so I literally never see him.....Yeah when I cheat I CHEAT! Ate the whole thing of ice cream on tuesday! but doing better today other than feeling like I want to eat my arm off Im so hungry! I'll look into a training partner. I have never had one. Definitely seems like that would help me right now.

 

[dmk777]

Well this is a first for me lol I'm lost for words relationships aren't my strong point!

Good work out tho jen!

Welcome Jen!
I used to work crazy hours like your boyfriend. It almost killed me. Granted my job was extremely stressful. It got to the point where I wasn't sleeping anymore and I started having panic attacks. I also stopped going to the gym.
Sugar addict... I understand that too. I try not to eat sweets but when I do I go crazy. Its one thing I have to keep an eye one.
Have you thought about starting a journal on here? It will help keep you on the straight and narrow with your diet and routine. It will also allow the ladies to keep an eye on what you are doing and give you some insight where needed.
Best of luck on your goals.

Hey Slatl! I think Im going to start a journal tomorrow to keep myself accountable. Im getting way off track these last couple of weeks. I even stopped going to the gym for almost 2 weeks recently cuz of stress. My bf is basically killing himself with work right now. Hes a personal trainer, a director for 20 local gym locations, doing a 'biggest loser' like competition and an mma coach....so i dont really fit in anywhere.

Sorry to hear. Take it from me working those hours and the stress that comes with it can kill his sex drive. Hope that is not happening. If it is tell him when the competition is over you want a weekend alone with him!!!

 

[zedhed]

DANG Slat!
Thought you were long gone bro! GR8 to see you on here!

 

[Jen10]

Hasnt killed his sex drive! but.....havent been in the same room with him (other than sat mornings at the gym) in over a month. major bummer! the competition is over the first week in december so I'm planning a trip away for that weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed nothing else appears! i want to use that date as my "get sexy" by date. lol
