Here we go... it´s really time to get back on track. I´ve been such a lazy ass after having Hugo (he´s almost 10 months now), been working out only every now and then. And my diet sucks. Yay me.
Current stats
weight: 63 kg/139 lbs
length: 160 cm/5´2´´
bf: no idea, too much anyway

Goals
1. Drop 8kg/17 lbs (short term goal is to drop 4kg/8 lbs before April 23rd, my friend is getting married and I have to fit in my dress)
2. Bf 18-20% (at first)
3. Follow the diet (hardest part for me, I love eating)
4. At least maintain muscles I have, growing them too

I`m going to do cardio 5-6 times a week, mostly walking outside with baby carriage, 40 minutes-1 hour.
Weight training 3 times a week at home, 1 time at the gym.
I´m going to post my routine asap I´ll find it, it´s somewhere on my computer. Also I´ll post my diet later.
Advices, comments and suggestions are welcome.

My routine (at home)

1. Legs
- walking lunge
- one-leg squat
- dumbbell straight-back Straight-leg deadlift


2. Chest and biceps
- push-ups
- flies
- dumbbell pullover
- hammer curl
- concentration curl

3. Back and calves
- Single Leg Calf Raise
- Dumbbell Bent-over Row

4. Shoulders and triceps
- dips
- dumbbell shoulder press
- dumbbell Kickback
- dumbbell one arm triceps extension
- front raise
- upright rows
- lateral aise
- reverse flies

Back day looks quite empty, is there anything else I can do for it? I got dumbbels, step bench and stretching band. Or should it be better that I´d do back at the gym when I get there? Probably.
 
NICE


back things

one arm rows
chins
bent over laterals
pullovers

COngrats with the :baby2:!!! And best of luck with your goals! :rose:
 
Yay Lady V!! Welcome to the wonderful world of daily logging!! (And not the tree kind either! LOL)
 
I just signed up for Fitday.com. It´s a great place, if you´re American ;) I mean I´m not familiar with ozs amd cups etc. I´m gonna check it out again when I have more time to concentrate on it. Now I just write what I have eaten and will satart to add calories etc later.
And btw, I have never kept a food log before :worried:

If you click on the "Home" tab you can select kgs & meters as user preferences..... now whether or not that will switch over to the servings or not....

Know what you mean tho, I am clueless when it comes to the metric system.....

I tried that but it doesn´t switch over to the servings :(
 
Ah, found something, hope this helps:

Conversions:

Grams to Ounces: multiply gram figure by .0353 to get # of ounces
Ounces to grams: multiply ounce figure by 28.3 to get # of grams
Pounds to grams: Multiply pound figure by 453.59 to get # of grams
Pounds to kilograms: Multiply pound figure by .45 to get # of kg
Cups to liters: Multiply cup figure by .24 to get number of liters

8 ounces = 1 cup = 1/2 pound
16 ounces = 2 cups = 1 pound
1 cup = 8 ounces (liquid) = 1/2 pint
2 tablespoons = 1 ounce (liquid & dry)

Hope this helps....

Just scrolling through the thread :) Best of luck to you. I was wondering, however, you wrote you had 2 cups of coffee w/ff milk and sugar. Coffee has been linked to insulin excretion especially combined with a meal. You put FF milk in it already, why add sugar? Since you have your oatmeal with blueberries, I know it may taste like crap but it should do. No? =o/ Just an observation :)
Without sugar coffee tastes like crap, so I´m adding a very little spoon sugar. I´m working on to finish that :)
And I like blueberries, but I´m not sure are we talking about same berry though ;)
 
5. 10 pm tuna salad (same as yesterday)

I planned to do weight training for legs tonight but I got fever. Lil´one has a cold too :worried: Hope I feel better tomorrow.
 
StellarTiggy said:
Yes, please feel much better. I'm sure we're talking about the same berry and if I happen to be wrong then it does not make much of a difference, considering berries are about the healthiest fruit you can eat. They are rich in antioxidants and loaded with fiber. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE MISERABLY! :) there are alternatives to sugar. You can be desperate and just use the usual artificial sweetener splenda. You can take a different approach and buy Stevia at your local healthfood store or order it online at stevia.com or any other stevia supported site. It is a plant grown in Paraguay used by many different nations for years to sweeten food. No chemicals, no glycemic index, nothing. Just sweetness. CONSUME BERRIES! Berries are wonderful. If you absolutely need it even throw a SMALL handful of raisins into your oatmeal.

Protein/oatmeal combos: Oats with:

egg whites/with one whole egg
cottage cheese
Fatfree farmer cheese
protein powder
meat, if you can handle that in the morning
fish
carb countdown milk contains 70 cals and 12g of protein in each cup, I believe. Oats form a complete protein when combined with milk. you can try that, and an egg white or two.

You can literally mix cottage and farmer cheese into your oatmeal when it's done. You can also cook with the egg whites and water, forms a chewy texture.
Try adding cinnamon into your oatmeal, it helps.
Make protein pancakes with your oats/egg whites and maybe some vanilla extract. Throw in cottage cheese for more texture/protein/taste. Top with cozy cottage sugarfree maple flavored syrup, it is sweetened with splenda...again..if you prefer :) I top mine with cottage/farmer cheese or a high protein cheese spread and sprinkle some cinnamon/stevia on top of that. I also put blueberries on top, it is wonderful.

Hope this helps! :heart: Comment for more ideas on anything.
Thanks :)

1. 9 am oatmeal, 2 slices rye bread, 3 egg whites --> I would eliminate the bread here & just have the oatmeal & eggs

2. 12 am grilled chicken, rice and green sallad (cucumber, tomatoes) --> Good!! Could use a fat, like Olive oil for dressing + vinegar

3. 3 pm 2 (little :rolleyes: ) slices pizza -->not the best, but if you must, add some veggies & some type of protein

4. 6 pm green salad (cucumber, tomatoes, egg whites) --> Add some fats, like the Olive oil or flax oil or almonds on the salad

+ 4 cups coffee, fat free milk and sugar during the day

cardio 4 pm walking 30 minutes 3 km

Just some suggestions..... I hate waking up with a headache.... :rolleyes:
 
8 pm I was going to do legs, but I found aerobics lessons from vcr tapes and did one of them. I don´t know what it´s called but it was damn nice. I used dumbbels and stepbench, it took 30 minutes and it was for whole body.

5. 8.45 pm protein shake

yep, pizza is not the best but damn I love it :rolleyes: And this was first time ever when i showed some self discipline and I ate two slices instead of whole pizza....
And I have to do list what to buy from food store (vinegar, flax oil etc)
 
21st Feb

8 am 2 cups coffee, fat free milk and sugar

Cardio 11 am walking 40 minutes 4 km

e-l-i-m-i-n-a-t-e t-h-e b-r-e-a-d. If you MUST have bread then go to a healthfood store, or gnc sells it here in NY. Buy Bran of Flax bread. Bread is NO good for you. You will seriously slaughter your own results by eating that extra piece of carbs in the morning. Not only that, but your 1pm meal shouldn't contain more than 1 piece if at all (since you're a beginner). Honestly, just think about yourself for a second. I'm sure you would hate to be disappointed in the end. An open-faced tuna melt with 1 tsp of lite mayo and fatfree cheese would do JUST fine. Substitute the tuna for elk meat if you desire to do so.
I can´t eliminate rye bread, I love it. But I can limit it to 2 slices a day. So it does matter what time I eat it, am I correct? What is best time then to eat it? Noon? Evening?
 
I´m not sure are we talking about same kind of bread. I just read women´s diet thread on a Finnish Fitness Board and everybody there eat bread, even the girls who compete in Fitness. Hard to explain but rye bread is a Finnish thing.

Well, it's not the greatest, but depending on what you buy, it can be surprisingly not awful for you..... As you phase it out slowly, do so little by little & eventually you won't miss it...

In the meantime, just pick healthy types like veggie or add your own veggies & meat at home like chicken, broccoli, etc....

With smoked salmon?? Do the Finns eat it that way?? And the Finns went wilddddd...... (it's from a song ;) )

Anyway, is it actually rye bread or is it that dark, pumpernickel-looking-country bread?? Cuz I think I know what you're talking about..... Just check the label & make sure there isn't a bunch of caramel color added or hydrogenated oils, etc....

Bread can be very subjective -- some people can cut on it, some can't, etc..... Oh, and check the fiber content too....

lol
the bread with smoked salmon is sooooooo good :p I don´t about others but I do it like that sometimes.
 
StellarTiggy said:
Yep. Check the ingredient label too...high fructose corn syrup..bleached/unbleached flour...dextose...2.8g per 26g carbs is absolutely despicable :) 23.2grams of insulin-raising carbs in one slice. You know, 1/2 (expands into one full cup) of oatmeal contains 27grams of carbs and 4grams of fiber. That's already less than that one puny piece of rye bread (23 grams vs. 23.2 :P ) Basically, if you've been eating 1/2 cup of oatmeal + an extra piece of bread and coffee with sugar in the morning, you did a GREAT job of carb loading on simple carbs :heart: I bet you had loads of energy after that meal. ;)

Really, girl, you might wanna lose that stuff. I am just trying to help you out. Not getting results thinking your diet is clean is a killer, I've been through it. Damn Finnish girls. err..

This bread she is talking about is NOT like the rye bread we buy here in the USA..... if it's what I'm thinking it is, then she should be OK with eating it.... it's not the "processed" rye bread we are used to seeing....

Hey, sorry if I have sounded rude or something, you´ve been great help, thank you :) I just don´t have to type very much when the lil´one is awake, he´s crawling everywhere he shouldn´t...
And yeah, I know my diet isn´t looking very good yet, but there are some improvements what I ate before. Baby steps ;)
 
StellarTiggy said:
It should have an ingredient label, though. Right? All she has to notice is any one of the types of sugar. :) If it doesn't contain any then I suppose it's an alright carb source. However, she would still have to cut it out of her breakfast. That is way too many carbs mixed in with oatmeal and sugar + coffee. She can always substitute it, but that wouldn't even make sense due to the tiny volume of the bread. Unless they make that kind of rye bread in the giant sizes, lol ;)
Yep, just checked it. There´s no sugar in that bread :)
And it looks like this:

^^ Yep, that's the stuff I thought it was....... ship me some?? I've got some Nova Salmon looking for a home.... LOL
 
StellarTiggy said:
I've never seen that type of bread. That looks sooo good toasted with smoked salmon. Or perhaps even a little pizza type of thing. It would make a great tuna melt. mmmmmmmm. I just finished my last piece of bran bread yesterday...looked as if it was going to go bad :( Oh well. I'll stick with salad and yams for a day or two.

You could make it..... look up a recipe for Finnish Bread on the internet....

Wish we could get it too -- it's nothing like the processed bread we have here..... I don't think we have any Finnish stores around here either.... I think LV should ship us both some!! ;)
 
Hi sweetie im glad to see you in here. I think you are off to a great start. Baby steps and you will make it - i hope to see you on messenger later sweetie.

Ive missed you

Kinda late for the bread. You could move it up to meal 3, move meal 3 to meal 4 and meal 5 can be cottage cheese with natural peanut butter, almond butter, or any healthy nutter butter :heart: if the nut butter isn't available, just buy 1% cottage cheese and eat a full cup.

Isn't sleeping well a great feeling??

For your 8am meal, I'd drop the bread & add 3 egg whites to the whole egg...... use the bread at another meal....

As for the chicken salad -- what is it?? Chicken on top of salad?? Or chicken mixed with mayo??

For a change have salmon or tuna on salad greens instead, but as long as you are OK eating the same thing, that's fine.....

I agree :)

As long as you can stomach eating the same things then it's fine, if you can't then change up the sources.

I know I should drop the bread from 8 am meal, it´s been my habit years... Trying to improve that :)

And chicken salad is chicken, lettuce or icebergs sallad, tomatoes, cucumber and then I add what I have in the fridge (broccoli, spinach etc)
 
6 pm rye pasta, tomato sauce with lean cow meat... ( I know there´s another word for that but I don´t remenber what it is...)
Ate too much, don´t feel very good right now. I let myself go too hungry and then I eat too much. :velvett:

Well, as 24K said, then keep the bread & drop the oatmeal or vice-versa -- or just change it up day to day....

Was wondering about the chicken salad -- cuz here in the US "chicken salad" a lot of the time is chicken mixed with mayo....What you have sounds good....

As for the "cow's meat" here in the US it's beef -- and the form terms vary: ground beef, steak, etc
