Helloooooo Ladies,
I wanted to introduce myself, sorry this is a repeat post from the one I put in the welcome thread. Seemed to have gotten lost amongst the 3 pages already there
First off I want to say THANK YOU, just reading the massive amounts of information you provide has been of great use since I found this site last month.
So in answer to the intro questions…
Stats...
120 lbs, 5’5, body fat??
Goals…
Loose the 10 lbs I have gained since the end of August, get back into a routine with diet and training. Build strength and muscle definition….loose body fat, want to be somewhere around 13%ish.
Lowdown on current situation…
I have always been athletic and have been weight training since I was around 16 for various sports I’ve played. Over the years have done everything from figure skating, to Ice hockey, Yoga to kick boxing, and a host of team sports. I’ve had the luxury life of a student for the past 4 years which afforded me the time to workout and train on a regular basis. Trained for a half marathon this summer… started a new job this fall. A demanding work schedule and the bf leaving for Europe for 4 months put my fitness life on hold …and gave me the 10 lbs of extra cochin.
I decided that my career is going to be busy and hectic for the next 10 years at least and that there is no way I’m not staying fit that whole time….and am now trying to squeeze in workout/diet regardless of what is on my plate. (sorry for the long windedness here)
THE PLAN: Been doing this for about 2 weeks now, seeing minor results, but need to keep at it...don't even ask what my diet was like between Sept-Nov
Diet: Though its been hard with a lot of business travel lately..
Some version of ..
Meal 1:
1 cup Eggwhites, 2 slice veggie bacon, 3 cherry tomatoes, flaxseed oil.
Meal 2:
Home made protein bar (oatmeal, protein powder, egg whites, skim milk, ff-jello)
Meal 3:
Tuna/Chicken/Veggie Dogs and Greens/Raw Veggies
Meal 4:
PB on Celery or apple and cottage cheese
Meal 5:
Tuna/Chicken/Veggie Dogs and Greens/Raw Veggies and ½ cup brown rice and some sunflower seeds or olive oil based gressing.
Meal 6:
Light Jello make with Protein shake
Training:
I usually have to do all my training later at night because I start work at 7:30am and finish around 6ish . Cardio is on the high side because I’m starting training for a half marathon that’s in the spring.
Mon: Boot Camp (circuit training), Cardio 30-45 min run
Tues: Legs, Cardio: Step/elliptical 60 mins
Wed: Shoulders, Cardio: Spin class 60 min
Thurs: Bi’s: Cardio:Run 60 min
Friday: Tri’s : Cardio: Row/step 60 min
Saturday: Bikram’s Yoga Class 90 min
Sunday: Chest/Back: Cardio: 30-45 min run.
I look forward to getting to know you girls better, your stories and dedication are truly an inspiration!
