Necia Back In Effect Log

[necia]

Hi Ladies & Shadow,

What's been doing? I've been slacking lately, hardly no exercise, the heat has gotten the best of me, along with my asshole bosses. Anyway, I'm determined to get back to it, and I have some new goals to to focus on along the way.

My b-day is Sept 30th, and it would be so important to me if I could get my drivers license (yep I said it), and if I could get into a size 14. I'm currently a size 16/18 depending on what it is I'm wearing.

I want to cut fat, and continue working out with weights. I don't expect to see any results as far as weight training, but I can feel the difference. If not for nothing, it'll make me stronger, and every lil bit helps too.

So I'm going to be focusing on cardio, with weight training prolly no more than 3x's a week. I'm also going to be logging my food, just so that I can see what I"m eating. I've just reintroduced myself to fitday.

Tonight I'm going to take my measurements, and Wed mornings is going to be my weigh in day. Seems like a kewl day for hump day, lol.

Feel free to take a looksie, and of course leave your comments.

Fellow Libra, welcome back ...

 

[necia]

Thanks Ladies. For the record, I never left. Just didn't post much. I love this board. This is the forum where you may stray, but you always return. At least this is how it is for me.

Hey Bunny, Whooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooh Libra's in the house.

Hi E1,

I finally finished entering the foods I ate yesterday. My end of the day totals were:

Calories: 1462
Fat: 20%
Carbs: 36%
Protein: 44%

The split is kind of decent imho, but I'm pretty sure I need to be intaking more calories. I'm a big girl. My weigh in weight this morning was 220, and my goal weight is 160. If I multiply that by 13, I get 2080, which is the amount of calories I should be consuming daily. What can I do to increase my calorie consumption? Should I be increasing my calorie consumption?

I was hungry when I got home yesterday, and I had already planned on eating a bit more today.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks Jens for your suggestion. I keep forgetting to bring in my dang veggies. I'm gonna bring the whole frozen pack tomorrow and keep in the freezer during the day. I'll lose the chips, and do the apple with the anpb.

Don't cha just love us Libras. I gotta tell you, Libra men are something else! I'm sure your hubby likes the fact that you work out, even if he shows it or not. Libra men LOVE having nice thangs on their arm piece. Lol.

None of you can make a decision to save your life!!

That's supposed to be a Libra trait -- indecision......

And that's what I used to do with veggies at work -- keep a bag of it in the freezer just in case......

I can't make a decision to save my life. You are so right. Imagine all the questions I would have for you people here, if I didn't take it easy. Sometimes I just toss a coin and decide that way. Terrible, isn't it.

Necia,
If you're training hard you need some carbs for energy so that you don't waste your time on the gym. Remember that the body if not given enough nutrients will start eating your muscle and making more reserve fat.

I was looking at your posts and couldn't find your weight and height.

However, my initial suggestions are the following:

Meal 1 - 7:40 am
4 egg whites
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup NF cottage cheese.

Meal 2 - 11:00 am
8 oz water
1.5 scoops Syntrax Nectar Apple Ectasy
1/4 melon
1 green veggies salad
1 cup of green tea

Meal 3 - 1:45 pm (Post workout)
1 cup cooked Brown Rice
6 ozs skinless chicken breast w/bone, pan seared with cooking spray.
>>add some veggies to this, like spinach, broccoli, peppers, etc....

Meal 4: - 3:00 pm
1-2 scoops of your protein
1 grapefruit

One question... is meal 5 the last meal of the day?? or do you eat something else afterwards??

Usually I get up to Meal 7. I haven't entered today's meals or even finished entering yesterdays, but if you can see what I ate on Wed. I finished posting on Thursday. Thanks so much for your input.

Oh btw, I weigh 220 down from 253, and my height is 5 ft 51/2". I still have a ways to go but I'm confident I will reach my goals in due time.

[nikkita]

I would usually let between 2.5 and 3 hours between meals... so considering that, you can make adjustments to your meal times, therefore meal 4 would be around 4:00 pm then...

Meal 5 - 6:30 pm
1 scoop of your protein
1 oz Almonds

Meal 6 - 8:30 pm
1 can of tuna in water
1 big salad of green veggies

I'm guessing that you were having less interval of time between meals because you were hungry. Don't forget to take at least 3 liters of water, multivitamins and antioxidants.

Hope this helps

Comments: OMG, these Lipo-6 are definitly suppressing my appetite. I didn't eat enough today. I didn't realize it until it was 4 in the morning (next day) and I was starving. It was way too late to eat anything, so I went back to bed. Normally the muscle feeder lasts me through the night, and I actually wake up full. Will do a much better job of eating today. Time for me to set the alarm on my cell phone, cause this is ridiculous.

Hey Buns,

I was doing GREAT that day. I was full, not stuffed, but satisfied. Now, I didn't do any exercise that day so I"m not sure that would've been enough to get me through the day had I went to the gym. I'm still a little concerned with my calorie intake. Does it look too low to you? Remember, I'm a big girl. I don't want my body to go into starvation mode, as it is the scale isn't budging.

Thur July 14th

Goals: Go to the gym and do something. Still deciding between a class and HIIT. Probably will settle for HIIT, as it allows me to go at my pace, and have a little more control.

Supps: 2 Lipo-6

I made my usual breakfast pancake this morning, minus the oats, cause I ran out, and I'll be damned, I forgot it. I left it sitting on my stove still in the pain. I'm not looking forward to smelling cooked cottage cheese when I get in tonight. Anyway, I picked up some grub on the go:

Meal 1:
3 egg whites
1 egg yolk
2 slices toasted whole wheat (dry - no butter)
Hazlenut Coffee w/3 splendas (next time I'll use 2 as it was a lil sweet), with a splash of skim milk.

Supps: 2 Lipo-6

Meal 2:
Mixed baby green salad, with cukes, red onions, dark turkey meat, boiled egg, and 4T Newman's Own Low Fat Sesame Ginger Dressing.

Meal 3:
1 oz Almonds

Supps: 2 Lipo-6

Meal 4:

Comment: Should've ate an hr earlier but forgot and my alarm never went off.

IMO, I think the 10-12 x your bodyweight for weight LOSS will be fine, and your pretty darn close to a 40/30/30 as you can get, so I think you should stick to that, b/c it seems to be working. If you aim to stay within that ratio (10-12 x Bodyweight) you should be fine... if you find yourself hungry you may need to adjust your meals a little but everything needs to be tweaked to your own personal goals and how YOU feel, which ya already know

Not sure what ya mean by 'big' but I'll let you do the calculations and you can PM me anything you do NOT want to post, either way

I've known some ladies who weighed 200 lbs and were able to lose weight, feel full and have enough energy for a good workout at around 1600-1800 cals @ 40/30/30. Then again, I've also known a few to eat 2000-2200 cal and still be hungry, but it was mostly mental and the LOVE of junk food and NOT being able to eat the foods they were once accustomed...

Use the scale for reference & data points - I see ladies 'weigh in' every 3 days and have "being up one pound" ruin their day, it's very sad (and not saying YOU do this...) Make sure to measure with a tape measure and if you CAN have your BF tested then try it, for tracking though... that number can also start to 'define' you and some become obsessed with their calipers and start pinching daily etc. I feel a good 'ole tape measure & your own clothes feeling looser is good enough to 'feel' whether something is working or not, esp. when your goals are to be healthy and incorp a healthier lifestyle, not competition/fitness model avenues ... .

Sorry for the long post, I hope I helped a little

 

[necia]

You helped lots Bunny. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what I mean about my caloric intake. I'm weighing between 218 and 220, so my daily calorie intake should be between 2180 and 2200. However I'm consuming much less. Perhaps I should base my caloric intake on my goal weight? Is that a way of doing it. My first goal weight is 180, and even with that I should be taking it like 1800 calories.

I dunno girlie. I've started limiting my classes, and I'm going to incorporate more HIIT into my training schedule (3x weekly, and see if there's a change). I'm pretty sure my body needs a change.

Hey Necia,

Your dieting and exercising is telling me a whole lot, if you could answer some of my questions on my in my thread I would appreciate it. I'm new at doing this so there's a lot here that I undetstood that you were saying but some of it I'm very lost. Instead of holding a conversation back and forth on here I'm gonna PM you.

I hope you reach your goal! I'm a size 14 and my goal is to be a 10 by Christmas, my fiancee is coming back to America then and I want to be a new woman by then with a new figure.

 

[necia]

Hey Girlie,

Thanks for visiting my log. Girl, if you only knew where I came from. Lol. Anyway I'm going to try to respond to your log, if not today then tomorrow. My son is all over the place right now. Feel free to instant messenger me. Aol is best in the days, I'm always on. Shoot it's actually how I get through my days.

Another word of advice is listen to what some of the others have said in your log. There are some of the brightest women on this forum, and how can I forget the shadow. If it wasn't for them, I'm sure I wouldn't have lost as much weight as I have already. I look and feel soooooooooooooooooo much better. My dr. had to do a triple check when he saw me, and immediately ordered several tests for me, lol. All of them came back Great!!!!!!!!
Stick around, and ask questions. You'll see results!

Ok I'm really slacking right now.

Thur Jul 28th

Good morning. Time for a pant and panty burning ceremony. I went down sizes in both garments!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo Hooooooooooo! Scale has finally budged too. Lost 5lbs, just when I thought I was destined to stay 220 forever. Yay for me! It will only get better, and I can't wait!

Supps: 2 Lipo-6

Meal 1: 3 egg whites, 1 egg yolk, toasted whole wheat (dry)

 

[Roonytunes]

Yayyyy! Congrats on the loss, Necia....what a great feeling to know you can burn clothes once and for all

 

[*Bunny*]

NECIA!!! This is GREAT news!!! BRAVO darlin... only downhill from here... keep up the hard work!

 

[necia]

Thanks Roony and Bunny. So today I go to the store and I decide to buy my size 13/14 jeans to hang on the wall for further inspiration. I took them back to work and my co-worker convinced me to try them on to see how hard I would have to work. I was shy at first but I did it. Can ya'll tell me why they fit? 4% spandex, yet they are a size 13/14. I was able to get them over everything button and zippen. I'm kind of sad though, cause I remember being a 13/14 in jeans when I was 13/14 and I thought I looked pretty damn hot then(prolly didn't though). So now what should I do, take them back for a 12. I don't remember being a size 12, and I'm not sure if I want to be a size 12. I never felt like this in my life.

Good morning. Start of a new month, and I plan to get my hustle and bustle on. Let's see how far I can take this.

Supps

Meal 1:
3 egg whites, 1 whole egg yolk. whole wheat toast (2 slices) no butter
Hazelnut coffee, splash of skim, 1 sweet n low packet

12:30 pm - 1:15 pm (workout)
Lat Pull Down machine - 3 sets 12 reps 15lbs, 27.5 lbs, 35.5 lbs (did this standing as the send is unadjustable, and my gym is too cheap to buy a new machine). I only used this machine because I feel I never get to work my lats with anything else I have at home.

Dead Lifts alternated with Squats (should've done the other way around but was winging it) 3 sets reps of 12, 12, 10
Weight: 30 lbs, 40 lbs, 50 lbs

HIIT on Elliptical
Level 5 Weight Loss Program 10 minute warm up
Level 8 - 30 secs alternated with Level 5 - 1 minute (10 cycles)
Level 5 (6 minute cool down)

Ab Work with 10 lb plate - various crunches, for a total of 5 minutes

Meal 2:
1:15pm - 8 oz water, 1.5 scoops of ON Vanilla Ice Cream

1:45pm - 2 Lipo-6

Meal 3:
2:15pm - Baby Green Mixed Salad, with a lil red onions, cucumbers, 1 boiled egg, dark turkey meat, and about 3T Ranch Dressing

Meal 4:
1 oz almonds

Meal 5: 10:30 pm
As you can see dinner is running way late. So late I didn't even cook it yet. Decided to get a head start and make my protein pancake tonight, for tomorrow, and just doubled recipe and had 1 for dinner.

3 egg whites
1 whole egg
1/2 cup 1% pineapple cottage cheese
1/2 cup of oats

10 oz water
1.5 scoop of MHP Protein Powder

Totals:
Calories: 1671
Fat: 41% (wtf), Carbs 21%, Protein 42%

Definitly gonna work on that fat consumption. I prolly will have to switch back to the NF cottage cheese, cause I sure don't intend on working out all hard, to be intaking all this fat. That defeats the purpose.

New instructor. She kicked our asses. Cardio Kickboxing. Worked Shoulders, delts, Biceps, Triceps, and so many squat variations with and without body bar. I'm thoroughly whupped. I realize I really don't like weight lifting mixed with cardio. There is a lack of concentration, and I feel funny moving so damn fast to club music, trying to keep count. That's prolly why when I lift at home, I lift so damn fast. Any suggestions? Let me guess, TUT right?

10 minute walk back to work from gym.

Necia

Just looking over your meals ... is the cause of Fat %'s increase due to the choice of Cottage Cheese? I don't eat the stuff so I honestly don't know ...

Ever think about cutting back on the Ranch Dressing? or using a different type? I can finally stomach a Fat Free Balsamic which is lower in cals & Sodium than all the others I've seen out there... even 5 cals for 2 TBSP on the last one I picked up, 160 mg Sodium... sorry for the ramble

Your energy & attitude seem happy, healthy and positive ... keep it up Necia !

 

[necia]

Actually Bunny, it could very well be the salad dressing. I get my salads from the store, and lately I've been getting the salad plain and adding my own dressing, which is Newman's Own's Light. However, I'm all out, and I refuse to eat dry salad lol, so I opted with the ranch as I've done previously. On Fitday, I just chose the highest calorie ranch that they had there, being I don't know the true nutrient content and values. This shit pisses me off, so I"m going to the market tonight to buy my Newman's Own Light, because I can't stand not having control. I mean if you could see how hard I worked yesterday. I plugged my foods into Fitday as a second thought, never imagineing it would spit #'s back to me like that.

1) Add any salad dressing you buy to fiday as a custom food so you don't have to use their figures which aren't always correct.

2) If you're "stuck" using a full-fat ranch -- get it in a cup on the side & add some water to it to thin it down -- you won't be using as much "actual" dressing & it'll still taste the same.....or thin it with some Apple Cider Vinegar. I do that with my Newman's Own Sesame Ginger Dressing -- I pour 1/2 the bottle out into another container & fill each up with Apple Cider Vinegar (which isn't as tangy as regular vinegar IMO).

I love the new gym. The in house trainer is so helpful and told me I could sign up for him every day if I want. hahahhahahaha. He was really impressed when I came back today, and came to check my form in the weight room. He wants me to come in tomorrow and work chest. We'll see. My schedule may only allow me to get to the gym in NYC. Gonna check with my husband to see what his evening schedule looks like, maybe I can get in a weight workout then, even though that gym seems to be most crowded then.


Re: Syntrax Nectar - Caribbean cooler rocks. It's like a pina colada. I currently have the apple ectasy, and I really don't care for it. It's not quite apple juice, but more a bootleg apple tini. When I finish this tub I won't rebuy this one. The caribbean cooler I had no problem drinking everyday, but the apple, I gotta take breaks from it. Lol.

The plan is to work legs tomorrow evening at the NJ gym right after work. My time is crunched so I'm trying to make the best of it. Wish me luck everyone.

It sounds like u know what u want and how to get there. That's most of the battle.Just hang in there.Good luck!

 

[fmorrow6]

Hey necia, I just wanted to say you have a great attitude and good luck!! I started at 220 pounds myself (size 18/20 long sleeves and granny panties, lol), and it sucked. That was in january, now I'm down to 172, size 10/12! (still have about 20 lbs to go). But I just thought I'd spout it out for a little incouragement. All the ladies on here seem so buff and perfect, that it gets a little overwhelming, at least for me. Anyway, your doin' great!!

 

[necia]

Fmorrow6,

You just made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much. Everyone here really is encouraging, but it does help immensely to hear it from someone who started off really hefty like myself. Congratulations on your success, and I wish you continuity with it.

Hey girl... Quick question, How much time before and/or after your workouts are you spending stretching?

 

[necia]

Don't know how much time, but I AM stretching. During and after, never before, which is why I usually warm up on Tread or Elliptical depending on what body part I'm working. I'm gonna start using the row to as a warmup. Stretching is important. Thanks for checking on me Buns.

Necia

No problem darlin...

I was just wanted to see if you were in actual PAIN or just sore/achy like you got your legs/a$$ worked... I noticed anywhere from 8-12 reps on your last leg day, which sounded like a pretty good workout, but I'm not there with you to see your form, critique you or see you walk like something very unfriendly hopped on your back *Giddity Up* ... been there, and everyone at work was whispering...

Anyway, if this routine is still new, there could be a chance your body is trying to adjust to the new machines/workout/exercises, hitting certain muscles you didn't even know existed type-of-thang

Glad to hear you're warming up and stretching! Necia, I am so proud of you, keep it up!

 

[necia]

Bunny,

You such a sweetie. I get compliments on my form all the time. The trainer is very impressed with me. The owner told him to show me everything, he told the owner, I'm showing him some ish. Hahahhahahahahaha. It's not pain I'm in, it's soreness. I walk out fine, the next day is when the strange walk comes, hahahahhahahaha. I really like walking the treadmill then.

A co-worker of mine told me the same thing, work it out again. Lighter weights. I gotta show my legs, whose boss. We'll see! Stay tuned.

I am hoping to do this tonight with a huge mexican feast...& rita's...
wonder if I'll go through with it because I'm NOT going to eat around the things I like...and I may even have cake

WOO HOO!!!
