I hope your feeling better tody!
I am….I took a diuretic because I felt like my stomach was going to burst and that really helped! I need to remember this for next time I go crazy at a cheat meal.

Sorry to hear you got sick! But mmmmmmmmmm @ naan....

:rose:
No kidding, Jens….they put a basket of cut up naan right in front of me and I just couldn’t stop eating it. Breads are definitely my weakness!!

Didn't take it easy on the bread unfortunately...I finally met a cheat meal that didn't agree with me yesterday. Ate far too much & found out that alcohol doesn't sit well with Indian food. My stomach hurt so much afterward and I actually ended up getting sick :(

Damages:
2 mojitos & 1 1/2 empanadas at cuban place
1 lychee martini, ~ 1 1/2 vodka/soda, lamb skewer, 1 corn patty, 2 to 3 large naans + 1 bowl of chicken tikka masala, 1/2 cup white rice, 1 bowl dal & 2 rasamalai as dessert
Had a Lara bar when I came home at 1am

Went to bed wondering why I do this to myself :rolleyes:
Yes... at least I wasn't alone in the festivities :lmao:
Sorry about the tummy.. mine was kinda pissy too...

why you laughing. :worried:
 
Well at least you can stay on track with only 1 cheat meal a week! Geesh I made mine an almost 2 whole day cheat. Ending last night with Tim Hortons coffee and tim bits. Ahh then went into a huge depression!!
What diuretic do you take?
 
'Morning Roony.. replied to ya in my log... Have you figured out your approach to the goal of doing a competition yet??
 
Hey, Roony! I need a few good tofu recipes. Are there any dishes that you particularly enjoy? I have a box of extra firm and a box of the softer one for smoothies and sauces. Waddaya think? :)

I totally understand, 747! It’s very hard to stop once you start. I have it embedded in my head that I can have one cheat meal max per week now. But I still have to master some kind of control over that meal which is what I’m working on. I have a prescription diuretic, but I only use it when I really have to. I felt like my stomach was going to burst in this case.

ck2006 said:
Good morning, how is the tummy today, feeling any better?
Thanks for asking, CK! :rose: I’m all better…got back on track and the tummy has settled down. Hmm, lesson to be learned there :rolleyes: Hope all is well on your end with the kids :)

Hi Tre! :wavey: I am actually going to use Cathy Savage’s online SOS program for the rest of this year. I met a lot of girls at the weekend camp who have had a lot of success with it. I picked the look I'm going for (“Focus on symmetry and overall condition with an emphasis on femininity with visible muscle”) and they are going to help me with both training and nutrition for it. I get my program tomorrow, so stay tuned!

I’m also going to a Fitness America show this Sunday in NYC since that’s one of the federations I’m interested in. I think I’ll get a better idea after seeing that show on how else I have to prepare. But basically, I’m looking at early to mid 2007 right now if I decide to do it at all.

Hey SG!! I would use the extra firm tofu for stir-fry type dishes. Just slice it up and treat it like you would chicken...throw in some veggies, spices & use light soy sauce or some other clean stir-fry paste/sauce that you can find. Generally, asian flavoring like teriyaki or ginger etc. work well with tofu. You can also use it in pasta with tomato-based sauce

As for the softer tofu, think of it like cottage cheese or yogurt...whatever you'd do with that in terms of shakes or puddings should work with the tofu too. Mix it in with fruit, nuts, pumpkin etc. Mermaid also has a good protein bar recipe using tofu, but I don't have it handy. It may be in the receipe thread. Let me know how it goes! :Chef:

I'm definitely eager to try Cathy's online program, Jens. I got in my bikini bottoms for her staff while at camp, so I feel good that they've seen me in person and know what I need to work on. I'll be getting a nutrition plan monthly based on my progress and obviously, I'll post all the details & my thoughts in my log as always.

And I'm glad you like the Jerk seasoning :FRlol: If we get a chance to meet up soon, I'll make sure I bring more!

:wavey: Hiya, Rooney! How's life?

What is your goal right now? How was camp?
Heya Nelms!! Camp was an awesome experience. I have a post on it on pg 44 in this log. Totally recommend it for IP - very eye opening and I learned SO much.

I signed up for Cathy's nutrition and training online program, so my goal is to build some quality muscle all over, focus on symmetry and possibly think about a Fitness America/Ms Fitness/WNSO type competition (I was told that I don't have very far to go for those federations) if I ever want to get up on stage.

I hope you guys are having a great time setting up your new life!!

Fri, Aug 4th

I’m starting my new diet today. I can’t post all the details (proprietary information, personalized for me, blah blah) but it’s not all that different in terms of calorie range or macros. If my calories seem a little higher, it’s only because I’m now tracking vegetables closely whereas before I did not (cucumbers, green peppers, onions & mushrooms are free on this plan though). I will be doing a slight zigzag in terms of low, high and medium with calories and the carbs, protein, fat ranges correspond accordingly.

My goal is to minimize weight loss but change body composition. I’m going to keep to my three days of lifting and doing plyo circuits. Cardio will be 5 days of 45 minutes.

Unfortunately, while I’m excited to start a new program, August is going to be a big challenge for me. I have three weekend trips – DC, San Fran and Chicago and they are all holidays so I doubt I will be able to behave. I do want to enjoy my time with friends, but I don’t want to lose all my hard work either. Again, it’s all about balance…..sigh! :rolleyes: :worried:

Thanks, Jens! :bigkiss: You are too darn sweet :rose:

Hmm, pictures? Didn't y'all just meet me in person? ;) I'll see what I can do.

Now as for the Fitness America show report, it was VERY poorly organized. They changed the venue just two days ago because of airconditioning problems in the original auditorium and didn't inform everyone. The show started an hour late. The MC sucked and didn't properly or completely announce the competitors many times. The sound system also sucked so we could barely hear anything. Quite a few times, girls came out incorrectly. In fact, the sound was so bad that the girls couldn't even hear when they were supposed to do their quarter turns a couple of times.

This was my second show. I've only been to Tre's NPC show, so it was very interesting seeing all the different categories - clubwear, sportswear, swimsuit, bikini, model new york etc. The look for this federation certainly isn't as tight as NPC although some girls did have excellent muscular physiques. The emphasis though was definitely more on feminity, stage presence and strutting your stuff up there. In some categories, posing was godawful - everyone was standing every which way. And some girls definitely were not ready to be on stage, but kudos to them for getting up there anyway.

I'm definitely glad I went to get a feel for this federation. Cathy told me not to base all their shows on the disorganization of this one....but yes, I can't help thinking it would be fun to get up there although I think I would just crumble from being nervous. We'll see how it goes - stay tuned! :D

Sat, Aug 12th

Scale weight: 114lbs

It’s going to be a challenging night. I’m going to DC and paid $100 for a party on a cruise ship tonight with an open bar – I had originally thought I would just call this a cheat night, but as I approach the event, I really feel like I want to see if I can get through it without drinking. I have two 4 day holidays coming up this month and frankly I’d rather indulge in some good eating then. Wish me luck!! :worried:

Rest Day

8:30am:
½ cup whipped 1% cottage cheese mixed with 1 peach
1 slice Cinnamon & Raisin Ezekiel bread

11am:
Shrimp pasta
- 6 oz shrimp sautéed with garlic and ¼ cup broccoli rabe
- 1/3 cup brown rice pasta
- ½ cup diced tomatoes
- oregano and basil to season

2pm: (en route)
Small container Fage 0 Greek Yogurt
1 banana

5pm: (upon arrival at hotel)
Grilled chicken salad
- 3 oz grilled chicken with Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy
- 2 tbsp kidney beans
- 3 cups lettuce, 1 cup cabbage, 5 grape tomatoes, cucumbers, onions
- 2 tablespoons Annie’s Naturals Papaya and Poppy Seed dressing

25 almonds

10pm: (on cruise ship)
Stallone vanilla protein pudding

Totals: 1335 cals (154g carbs, 136g protein, 29g fat)

Have a great Saturday, everyone!! :)
 
Slight change in menu du jour because the stupid Stallone puding won't fit into the purse that I planned to carry on the cruise. &@#%$&*@#$!!! Friggin' problems of a fashionista :D So right now, I can either fit a tuna cup (but not so cool to put out smelly tuna during a party) or possibly take some frozen pre-cooked baby shrimp in a snack bag and pop 'em in my mouth discretely.

I also had a hazelnut coffee (with 1/4 cup skim milk & 2 packets of splenda) at 9:15am while waiting for the tailor to take in a little of my dress. So I have to add that to my totals. All my clothes are getting a lil' loose which would normally be good except I really like my current wardrobe. Sigh!

Ok, off to shower and get the hair clean and shiny now. Once upon a time, I only had to worry about packing clothes, makeup and shoes to go away for a weekend but now I have to cook and pre-package all my food before I leave too.

Nice job on the dbl stepping and bleachers, Roony!

Imma hafta try that "whipped" cottage cheese w/fruit. Sounds really good right now.....refreshing :p

Have a good time on the cruise and stick to your drinking (or lack thereof) for the evening! :)
 
I'm back and I'm darn proud of myself. I was out from 6pm to 2am last night on a drinking cruise and an after party at a dance club and didn't have one sip of alcohol. Nor was I am tempted ONCE. That is MAJOR progress for me! When a few guys asked me more than once why I wasn't drinking, I felt obnoxious enough to look them straight in the eye and say "I'm a fitness model". HAHAHA!!! It seemed to work because they then looked at my arms, told me I was in great shape and backed the f*ck off. Whatever works I guess, ...also wore comfortable shoes because I have noticed a strange correlation between pain in my feet and needing alcohol.

Here's a pic of the Citizens (of Humanity) skirt - you can view the larger image to see the close-up. Citizens cuts well in the butt with more leg room in general for those of us with muskles:

G'night to you too, Bunns. I'm off to stare at the wall for a few hours too. Seem to have a bad 'bout of insomnia for the last two weeks for some reason :(

Hmmm... now that seems like a deal to me... :roadster: On my way ;)
 
You really crack me up - heels = martinis

I know what you mean, to a point. But unfortunately, I could drink martinis barefoot, hell, naked. Mmm, then I guess I would need MANY martinis to get over drinking naked (and so would everyone else ;) )

Kudos on the alcohol free party though :heart:

Scale weight: 113lbs

My sleep deprivation is really getting to me! I haven’t been able to sleep more than 4-5 hours for the last two weeks :( I suspect it’s the change in diet that may be shocking my body. I took a break from cardio for that reason for the last three days to get that out of the equation. And I’ve been totally off all supplements for the last 2 weeks but feel way more jacked up than normal.

I’ve been getting very tired and sluggish at work in the afternoon which is not good since I just started with new clients . And today, I fell asleep on the couch when I came home and missed my session with my trainer at 6:30pm which I never do. I rushed over at 7pm to the gym very upset and just did some supersets with him. I’m almost ready to pop in some Lunesta tonight since I just want to feel normal again.

8:15am:
4 oz grilled Jenny O lean turkey kielbasa
4 oz baked sweet potato with cinnamon & 1 packet splenda

10:30am:
1 cup 1% whipped cottage cheese
1 cup blueberries

Your calories have increased slightly with the new diet - I guess you have extra energy per se, but you're sluggish too. From lack of sleep? But then you have introduced dairy back into your diet and dairy is the devil - the body just can not process it. Whenever, I have dairy (especially after abstinence) I feel very sluggish.

Just my 0.02 for what it's worth.

Love the Goddess dressing. I miss that.

You know if ever you can't sleep, drop me a line - we're on different schedules - you know where I am :) :heart:
 
:wavey: Hey Roony!

I hope you are able to sleep tonight!! Not being able to sleep can be frustrating! What made you decide up the cals on the diet? ;)
