[Gymgurl]

Hi welcome! we love to see more journals around here. i think we all learn more from eachother everyday so welcome!

 

[ilovedance]

6:30 1 cup oatmeal with skim milk, 1 egg and 1 eggwhite, 1/2 tomato and 1/2 banana

Since I'm always busy working with the computer and have no time to excercise before 18:00, I have no choice but to do some simply stretch of Yoga in my office.

 

[que_66]

WooHoo for journaling!!

Yoga stretching in your office is ok. It's the little things that add up. I park in the parking lot that is close to work but is not the closest one. That way I get a bit of walking in to and from work. It's less than 1/4 mile but it's something.

Good idea!
climbing the stairs instead of using an elevator!

 

[ilovedance]

I need to make some changes and try this diet tomorrow.

Good idea!
climbing the stairs instead of using an elevator!

Absolutely. I work in the basement so when I have to go to the other floors (3 of them) I try to always take the stairs. When I have computer equipment that I'm moving or something like that of course I take the elevator. My glutes love it and so do my calves because I will sometimes do calf raises on each stair on my way up.

Whenever I go shopping I park closer to the end of the parking lot so that I have to walk a bit farther. Only time I don't do that is in really bad weather or if I have the grandbaby with me. Then I try to get closer.

[Tomer]

good on you! I think I need to do something like this.. whenever I keep a personal diary I feel more motivated.

I hope you reach your goals!

 

[ilovedance]

I think I don't need to harp on the detail of what I eat everyday, because I follow my diet plan strictly.

http://www.fitday.com/
It's very helpful. I don't have to eat the same food everyday, it can help me to make my diet fit and colorful.

Reading stickies more than once may spend a lot of time, but it's really worthwhile before your FIRST journal.

Ok, pick a crayon (hold up text colors to choose from) Just kidding about the crayons

I have several bellydance videos/dvd's that I used last year and I enjoyed them. (Some from the twins Neena/Veena.) I have a coin skirt, zills, etc.

When I started getting down about my weight I just put one of those in and somehow I managed to feel better about "me" and even managed to feel a little sexy.

Hey ilovedance!

Just have a quick question for ya...Just out of curiousity why only 1 tsp of protein powder?

 

[ilovedance]

only to keep the balance of 40/30/30

Ja, I face some problems now.
#1 the meal5 is just after exercises in the gym, I have no idea what to eat in the meal5 is good for fat lossing.
#2 I don't have weight exercise, does it mean that a perfect physicque(low BF) is impossible for me?
#3 I have the trouble with dining out.I may eat more than I know because I don't know the cooking method. How could I balance my input?

BTW, your avatar is so beautiful and sexy !

 

[ilovedance]

I don't like the egg whites without any flavour. But I like "tea egg".

How to cook it?
#1 Put some green tea and salt into the water
#2 Boil the eggs
#2 Break the eggshell and pickle for a whole night

The next day, wahaha, enjoy yummy "tea egg" !

Eating too much these two days! I think I have a poor willpower, this is a big obstacle on bodybuilding. My mom have a habit of eating garbage food and sock, she always buy a lot of sock every week. I just like a baby,when I see her eating them, I just lose control. Eating garbage food will make me eating more and destroy my diet plan. OMG, What should I do?

Everything takes some time to adjust too and make habits. Decide on one thing to change rather then everything and become overwhelmed. If you are having a problem with diet... Maybe take one or two meals at a time and stick to what you have layed out. Week by week take over another one of your meals until you have the whole day in control. It becomes will power. You have to have the power to say No, you have to put yourself in the right frame of mind when the situation comes up. Visualize yourself saying no to particular foods, people, situations. Then it will be a 'habit' to say no and won't require you to think.

treilin, thank you so much for such a good reply!

Now, I'll tell myself:
#1 Try to say "NO"
#2 Log success/failure on will power and analyse them.
#3 I will have a strong will power one day!

IMO,dancing courses is more interesting but not as effective as treadmill on losing fat. Now I will restart morning cardio on treadmill and cut down evening exercise a little relevant.

I will start this workout next week and just see what will happened.

I will have an outing with my friends, looking forward to that wonderful day!

I'm sorry maybe I missed this somewhere... What's your long-term goal? Do you plan on keeping your calories at 1200 with this much cardio over a long period of time??? To me it seems like you are putting yourself into starvation mode...

I felt tired today because of my sore heel. I think the chief criminal is that damn high-heel shoe. I can’t bear them for the whole day. Aye, wearing them makes me sexier but sore foot followed. OMG, my poor foot.

April 22, 2006
Today is the outing day with my friends and I prepared the lunch last night.
Meal 1 (7:00)
½ cup oatmeal
½ cup whole milk
4 egg whites
½ medium banana

Meal 2 lunch time
1 cup yoghurt
Sandwich: 2 slices whole wheat bread, 2 lettuce leaves, 5 slices chicken breast
2 egg whites
1 apple
1 banana

Meal 3 supper time
1 cup rice conjee
1 whole egg
¼ cup spinach
½ cup cauliflower
1 medium tomato
1 tsp olive oil

I like the outing in Spring, flowers and green grass makes me happy and relax. We climbed a hill called” two dragon hill”. On the top of the hill, we saw a beautiful view that a huge waterfall which is fantastic glaciated. As I kept climbing up and down for almost 5 hours, my legs jerked from fatigue. No workout and go to sleep earlier is better for me to recover.

Thanks for ur reply! I am just confusing of it.
I know I should eat more than that but I don't know why keeping my calories at 1200 doesn't make me into that starvation. Do u think I should take a test on BMR medically or etc.?

This forum has such a lot of great long threads, such as Bunny's log, Treils's log.... I love reading them, they give me inspiration, motivation and energy! Since I have no problem to get up early in the morning. Today I have AM cardio and that was great. I feel that I am full of the energy the whole day.
I have a big problem on doing yoga. After doing yoga for about 5 min, I feel sleepy and begin to yawn. I almost do the yoga in half sleep! That's really funny! Are there anyone who have the same problem like me?

I would get a RMR test done and then add on your activity levels. I think holding your calories at 1200 for long periods of time you are dropping your metabolism, and putting your body into a catabolic state. Maybe try the carb cycling like the other ladies are doing to help keep your fire burning.... Check out IcePrincess's Log.

pm workout: spinning 40min, BodyBalance 40min

After workout, I have a small talk with BodyBalance trainer, she told me that her major was aerobics.She is such a generalist, she gives many workout such as BB, hip-hop dance, latin and aerobics. She also told me a bad news that one of our aerobics trainer went sick, he had a terrible nodule on his vocal cords. Pray for him!

So what are you doing as far as diet???
How do you have your calories split up over the day, and your macronutrients? Weight days?

One of my colleague did her workout guided by a trainer for at least 4-5 month. BUT, there is almost no transformation in her physique(only a little fatter than before). Why?

She belongs to a high-grade gym and goes to the gym 1-2 days every 2-3 weeks.
I belongs to a medium-grade gym and goes to the gym 4-5 days per week.

She is guided by a trainer who is so irresponsible.
I am guided by myself and u all here who are awesome.

She own a lot of small bodybuilding equipment in her house.
I only have a rope skipping...

She likes eating junk food without control almost everyday.
I likes eating junk food within control rarely.

She become fatter...
I become leaner...

Yesterday she looked at me and said,"Oh, you are leaner! "
Yesterday I looked at her and couldn't say anything.

A new week has come...
Now, what should I do?
1. Try to drop my weekly cheat meal
That's really a obstacle on losing fat. If I have the cheat meal, I always get a little water bloating the next day. Do I really need that cheat meal? I know It's not easy but I will try my best.
2. Make a little change on diet
Change P/C/F: from 40/30/30 to 40/40/20
just see what will happen?
3. I will post some pics by the end of this month
So...I have to work hard and eating clean.

GO GO GO!

O.k. you have the diet... No weights? What's the cardio plan?
Also I would try a 5th meal at least with some fat source and protein to help sustain your metabolism through the night while you are sleeping. You typically want to shoot to eat every 3-4 hours. What's your end goal? You want to drop fat, what's your BF, and weight at the moment? Your calories are pretty low already what's your goal for calorie consumption?
Sorry questions, questions, and more... Just things to make you think about before you start in on something with only it being partially thought out.

Thank u Treilin! Thank u for all of the very inspirational questions.I have no trainer, so I will ask my adviser in the gym if I could have a body test this week.
END goal? Really a VERY good question. I have to think about it. Lose weight?Lose fat? or something else? ... They are too abstract. Maybe end goal need to be someting like this, BF? weight? calaries intake/day? workout/day?
Now, I know what I have to do first!

So what have you figured out??? Anything yet??

 

[ilovedance]

Ladies here, I want to say thank u deeply from my heart!

Here is one of my story, I haven't talked about it before...

Last year, I suffered from allergic prurigo. I did a allergen test and the result is I was allergic on milk, egg, soy, seafood and even rice! As I hadn't been allergic before, the doctor couldn't give me any reason of that and only gave me some medicine and told me not to eat those food anymore. And that made the allergic even more serious day after day... This is the damn cycle: eating without those food, still allergic, eating medicine, no allergic, eating, allergic,medicine,no allergic......SO, what happened? not only allergic but also malnourished...

Seems that doctor couldn't help me, so what should I do???

About 3 month ago, I began to do workout and eating clean (I began to eat milk, egg, soymilk,seafood....whatever I want to eat! Why? My heart told me that I need them.)At first, still allergic, but I didn't take the damn medine anymore.

Now, it's miraculous that no allergic anymore. I couldn't even rememeber when I really recovered. Now, I don't need to know how I recovered, I just know that doing workout and eating clean is what I will keep doing.

Diet is looking MUCH better!!!! What's the calorie, macro nutrient break-down?? What are you doing for PM work-out??
Glad to hear you figured out your allergy issue!!!

 

[Roonytunes]

I'm glad to hear that clean eating solved your health problems. It must have been so frustrating to struggle with allergies and medication that wasn't working. Well, now you have the best motivation you need to continue eating well, just so you will never have to experience that again.

As Tre says, the diet is looking good now with lean protein, good fats and a lot of veggie choices.

I was thinking if you really feel intimidated by weight training, maybe you can start with some strength training DVD/Tapes. It may work out well since you also like dance. You can look at Cathe Friedriche's stuff at www.cathe.com. I've heard very good reviews about her pyramid series.

Good luck!!
