O.k. brain is working over here... I would think if you have a hard time gaining or losing weight... and it doesn't matter how many cals you eat you still don't gain.. then why not up them? What's to lose? At least you will have more tricks up your sleeve for when cutting time comes and you know you'll already have to go the extra mile to lose weight, maybe it'll make it easier... Starting off at a higher calorie balance and then dropping. Body composition wise... will still change. Probably add on a tad more muscle and more muscle = more calories burned= higher RMR. I realize you are not going for a bodybuilding show, but I'm going to say the dreaded word, better toned* *cough* more shapely, etc..

I am staying tuned for November

Ooooh, you said the dreaded word! Yes, I hope to up calories but slowly, so it doesn't backfire. I also want to be able to eat off program when I travel - right now I can get away with this, but I'm not sure if this will still be the same if I eat more on a constant basis. So it's a delicate balance here. One thing to note is I went from cardio from 5-6x a week now to 4x a week, so I'm changing my routine one step at a time.

Keep an eye on me, Tre! I definitely respect and appreciate your feedback!

Are you still getting really hungry?

Hey there, chica.

 

[Roonytunes]

Are you still getting really hungry?

Nope, I've been good the last two days. I am also noticing a slight correlation factor to feeling hungry and knowing I have junk like a protein bar stashed away in a cabinet. So the house has been thoroughly cleaned out (only totally clean food now!) and so far, hmmm, no hunger pangs either

Also, I think I need to load up a little more on my free foods (mushrooms, peppers, cucumbers) in salads and stir-frys and also find what foods are more filling to me. Again, I'm only told how many grams to eat of carbs/proteins/fat and then have a full list of clean foods to pick from....so it's up to me if I want to have half an apple or 10 tiny unsweetened raisins for 10g of carbs. Guess which one tides me over longer??? I think Nov will be a better month.

Going over my notes (per Tre's comments yesterday), I notice this is a program that starts you at bottom and ups your food as needed rather than the other way around where food is taken away. I initially fell under the "cardio-head" category and they wanted to ease me out of so much cardio without causing me to gain any weight, so food intake was kept low until that variable came out of the equation.

Hey there, chica.

HEY girl!!! So good to "see" you around these parts again...you've been missed. Do post up and let us know what you've been up to. This forum has been fairly clean without you and Tre talking smut lately

I missed you, too! You and Treil are the reason I decided to post again. I've been lurking far too long.

Have a good weekend. Good luck w/the costume!

Thanks, WW!! I tried on the costume again and I have to say I do really like it! I found a belt for the skirt and it looks pretty darn good now...so I'm gonna DO it! I have a big party next Friday to attend at a swanky bar with a guest list of 150. May as well flaunt what I got

I took the costume to show my trainer at the gym and he told that I should write his phone number on my midriff for new clients His eyes also widened as he said "whoa, you're wearing that out??!!" when he initially saw it

Well, I'm definitely glad you decided to post again. Can't wait for the smut to start all over again
