Okay! Back in full form, finally! Started new daily routine July 1. Quit my desk job! Woohoo! No more sitting on my ass all day.
Just added supplements in about a week ago, feeling more tired this week, may cut back a little on the Sesapure.

Typical day:
meal 1: (if I'm hungry) oatmeal with flaxseed, or cup of Kashi cereal, 2 Sesapure
45 min or so light cardio (dog scootering)
45 min or so light to med cardio (biking second dog)
2 Levorex
half hour to 45 minutes alternating hard cardio workout or strength training
on cardio days have added this week a half hour of 200 meter sprints (about 2 miles) - could do more but the heat here is terrible by then. Don't have access to gym right now, follwing strength video which is hand weights and lots of push-up, squats, etc.
meal 2: 2-4 egg beater omlette with salsa, sometimes add cup of Kashi cereal, 8 oz juice w/ Udo's oil & Volume DNA
meal 3: maybe half chicken breast, cup of green beans
or turkey burger, or breast meat with hummus, etc. Glucorell if carbs are more than beans.
meal 4: typically the same type as meal 3
meal 5: typically have a bit more here, usually 2 glucorell and 4 oz steak with raspberries or sweet potato, or chicken and green beans or red potatoes. Pretty simple.
My cheat meals happen maybe 2- 3 times a week, but that might mean having a glass of wine with dinner, or something like Thai curry for dinner (watching portions) - I don't have "pig-out" days. No caffeine, barely any sugar, lots of Mrs. Dash.

Am pretty busy all day too- bike a lot of places, and am in the middle of moving so I'm carrying and lifting a lot.

I'm 37 yrs, 5'7", 150 lbs on the nose, and get varying bf readings with Tanita scale and calipers, somewhere between 24 & 30%. Goal is around 15%.
Have been very active my whole life except for the last 18 months. Long story.

Since July 1 however I haven't dropped a single OUNCE. Not one. Not one bitty one, dammit.
I do feel better though, it's nice to be back in shape, I just wished I looked it!
 
:wavey: Glad to have you logging!!

And Yay! for 37 yos.....I'll be 37 in a couple of weeks myself.....
 
Yeah, I've been reading all this time until I could get away from that desk! lol
Yay for 37! I feel about 24...
 
Skipped sprints right after cardio today - found a running group which meets at the track twice a week for sprint work, so I think I'll try that this week and see if I'm a bit less fatigued.
 
Last couple of days not so bad, eased off a bit on cardio so I'm not totally exhausted during the day. Still getting 9 a night though, with naps when I have time.

Last night due to moving I got stuck without a proper dinner, but still didn't turn out too bad:
6:15 dog scootering, (no biking due to rain), good half hour + strength workout
7:45 2 Levorex, 1 Sesapure, multi, Udo's, Volume DNA in 5 oz juice
8:00 4 egg beaters, salsa
10:00 3 oz tuna, 4 oz unsweetened applesauce, 1/2 can green beans, 1 Sesapure
12:30 4 oz 8% fat beef burger, ww bun, mustard, couple of pickles
moving work - boxes of books today, ugh.
6:00 2 cups berry Cheerios w/ 1.5 c soy milk, 2 Glucorell
8:00 1 oz almonds

macros for day, 1221 calories, 38.5%P, 40%C, 20.5%F
Scale says 148, 21.6% BF today, calipers say 28%. At least something is starting to move.
 
Stopping the Levorex and Sesapure for a couple of days, then I'll add just the Levorex back in. Something is making me ungodly sleepy! Like I'm drugged! So we'll see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for stopping in, Gymgurl!

Could be your calories are too low.....with a weight of 148, the lowest you should be cal-wise now is 1480 (10x your BW).....

I agree with Jens on the cals.



How are you able to quit your desk job?
Did you get a job that requires more movement? Like a factory or a bike messenger......

Good point!!! If you are in a new job that requires a lot of movement - you need to keep your calories up to support all that moving about....
 
No - better than that :) We're moving to Norway due to DH's job - We expect me to get one there after I finish my current degree, as well, but for now hubby is making more in a month than I was making in a year so it's party time! Well, not really. It's moving and organizing time for me, but it also gives me time to work on myself.

I feel much better this morning after no more fat-burners yesterday and skipping morning training, but I have taken one Levorex just now - I'm just about to set out with the dogs. I'll try to up my calories a bit today- went shopping last night after going through the recipe thread! I have experimented with calories in the past though and found I don't really lose anything until i get down to around 1100. I think that's too low so I try to stay about 1300. I've gone up as high as 2500, but anything over about 1500 and I just gain. I think th pill has screwed me up some.

Did 6 200m fartleks last night, far to humid to do any more. ugh.

If you are not eating enough AND taking Sesapure, your body could be 'wasting' way too many cals for your activity level and it's a sign you need to eat more... thus the lethargy & grogginess ... How are you dosing the sesapure?

If you are below 10-11 X your bodyweight chances may be you are not eating enough ... $.02 speaking from experience
 
Well, regardless, I have found the Sesapure & Levorex make me incredibly groggy. Without them I feel very energetic. So, I have stopped both of them for now, and and trying to eat a bit more. Energy through the roof after two days with no fat burners, so maybe they just aren't for everyone. They don't seemed to have helped in any way. Stimulants really affect me too, that's why I nixed those.

However, still discouraged. On day 30 and have no changes whatsoever - not measurements, weight, bf... nothing. But, I feel a lot better so I'll just wait it out!
 
yesterday: 1/2 hour run, 45 min cardio

8:30
1 cup Kashi cereal
1 c soy milk
2 egg whites
multi-v

11:30
6 oz turkey breast
6 oz green beans
4 oz applesauce

3:00
handful almonds

7:00
thai chicken stir fry
1/2 c rice

and water water water! - in bed by 9.
So hot this morning that all I did was a 1/2 hour run. It's about 90 in my garage-cum-gym and I got dizzy yesterday am, so skipping training out there for today. Hopefully a bit cooler tomorrow. I'll be lifting boxes indoors again, so I don't feel too bad. Wish it were 10 degrees cooler, though.

Bit of a pain in the right knee/outer lower leg/ankle.

Next week I am out of town Tue - Sun, so I am thinking after that I may try the Levorex again, and leave the Sesapure. I don't think I took enough of a break last time I tried that.

Off to find a chicken marinade.

Have you been stretching after you run? Have good running shoes for your foot type? Just wondering if you were getting shin splints. The other possibility have you been doing any lateral movements? Like rollerblading, or moving your foot or ankle to the side? If so.. could be the peroneal group (side of lower leg). Same thing... work on stretching. I bet the area is just overly tight. Could also add in more calf strengthening work which will in turn stretch out the anterior muscles and balance out the front and back of the lower leg region. I would still invert (turn in) the foot and stretch the muscles on the side of the lower leg at least a few minutes.
Hope that helps?
 
Yeah, at least - oh, probably 20 minutes of stretching a day, all told. Some days I do an extra half hour of just stretching. Poor woman's yoga. :)
It's not shin splints, completely different area. But - AHA, I have new running shoes, I think it's a combination of the new shoes and Scootering - I usually push off with that leg (when the dog slows down and isn't pulling - think dog sledding). May have twisted my ankle or something. It isn't too bad right now - I don't notice it much when I'm not doing anything so I'm not concerned. I've had much worse injuries just from running.

And I do calf raises 20x each side at least 3x a week, and my cardio routine includes a lot of calf work.
Thumbs up.

And I did buy myself a new "date blouse" yesterday, even though my shape isn't changing! (argh) Haven't bought myself anything in AGES, and I'll see hubby for the first time in six weeks next week. Woohoo!

Good for you on the blouse, I'm sure he'll think you look awesome in it :heart:
lower leg... Could be the peroneals then (side leg muscles)
