Scorpio's Journal

[scorpiogirl]

Ok, I started this on the 12th. My problem cravings are white wine and crunchy, salty things (popcorn & potato chips) as you will see. But I'm really trying to cut them out.

I'm trying to keep my carbs low and protein high. Not training for a show, but my goal is to have a "fitness" build.

Good Luck !!! I know what you mean when you crave something crunchy. I incorporated WASA Crispbread into my diet and tended to curb those cravings or at least give me the idea I was eating healthy Crackers

In M24K's Log I noticed she was eating RYVITA, so I picked some up.

Everyone round here thinks it bland and tastes like cardboard... but I just grin and nod my head while they chomp on their Triple Whoppers from BK... Here is a link

RYVITA

Here is the fitday breakdown for the ones I eat (one piece is approx 2.5 x 4 inches)

Happy Logging Scorpio

Welcome to logging, Scorpio. Your stats are very similar to mine when I first started my log too plus we have the same goals too. I too try to keep my carbs on the low end. I'll be looking forward to peeking into your journal for new meal ideas!

 

[scorpiogirl]

roony- just read your logs - er, most of them lol - yes, we seem to be very similar. You've made awesome progress!!!!!!! Are you just taking your flax alone, or mixing it? I've been mixing mine in my shakes, and it totally ruins them, so I'm thinking about just taking a chug instead.

Hey SG! I either take a chug of the flax or lately have been throwing it on salads as dressing. You should try either and see what works for you.

Logging will definitely help you with reaching your goals. It has made me keep honest to myself. You're on your way to success!

I started the Yohimburn today. I'm anxious to see what it will do for me! Also, I ran out of my Isopure, so I was using my fiance's Universal Protein Powder for the last few days. I ordered my Isopure a couple of days ago and received it last night. I think my shake this morning was THE BEST protein shake I've EVER had after drinking that Universal crap!!!! I'm so happy to have my stuff again! I can actually have my shakes in the morning again without getting an upset stomach.

Hey girl! Nice to see you started a log/journal! I've found it educational & helpful!

A suggestion: You may want to drop the deli meats - they have a lot of added junk that won't help your body. It'd be healthier to roast up a small roast beef on a Sunday & store some in the freezer & fridge for later & the week.

 

[scorpiogirl]

Thanks, Jen! Goin' to the grocery tomorrow. Getting lots of meat to cook - I'll probably be in the kitchen all day!!! lol

I'm trying to work in the Flax Seed Oil, but I just can't choke it down sometimes. I think because I was mixing it in those nasty Universal shakes that were making my stomach turn. It kind of ruined it for me. I keep thinking about it, but I'd rather do my CLA caps.

[Sweet_Bitch]

Could you post up your recipie for egg salad? I hate eggs but I like egg salad. Also, are you hungry during the day? It seems like you don't eat much?

 

[mermaid]

Hi Scorpio Girl, you said in another post that sometimes you can have up to 125-150g of fat in a day. Is it OK to have these many fat grams, even though they're the good fats? I still don't understand the low carb / carb cycling thing. Since I've been logging, my fat grams have been over 50 and I've been worrying about it - I thought it was getting too high.

 

[scorpiogirl]

Ok, SB here's my Egg Salad recipe:

15 Eggs (only 7 yolks)
2 Cups Mayo (Real Mayo - not the best fat, but I low carb)
1 TBSP Honey Mustard
*optional* 1 TBSP sweet relish (I usually don't)
1-2 Packets Splenda

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[scorpiogirl]

Mermaid....regarding the fats....here is a thread you might be interested in reading - and - I generally try to get 30-50% fats per day.

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-7709.html

Here is some more info. for you:

FATS - Some dietary fats are good for your fitness goals and other dietary fats are very bad for your fitness and your health. Fats, like carbohydrates can either be burnt as energy or stored as bodyfat. Fats generally burn faster than carbs, therefore they are more readily stored as bodyfat. Dietary fats have roughly 9 calories per gram, as opposed to 4 calories per gram for protein and carbs. Along with being used as energy, healthy fats provide a host of other benefits, including maintaining overall health and even making your skin and hair look better. Unhealthy fats (saturated fats) can do just the opposite, especially to your skin.

Sources of "good" or "healthy" fats include but are not limited to:
• Fish Oil (basically fats found in fish)
• Nuts (good source of protein and healthy fats)
• Olive Oil
• Flaxseed Oil - can be found in most nutrition stores
• Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) - also can be found nutrition stores

Sources of "bad fats" include, but are not limited to:
• Anything that it deep fried (french fries, fried chicken)
• Fat from animal sources, such as the saturated fats found in beef and pork and the saturated fat found in milk.

Low carb - The basic idea here is to reduce calories by restricting carbohydrates considerably, while allowing more dietary fats. After you have used up the small amount of calories that comes from carbs, the body will be using mostly dietary fats (healthy fats only) as it's primary source of fuel. Sugars are basically eliminated on this diet.

I've tried low fat diets, and they just don't work for me - but that's just me.

Yummmm, wine. The Amber Ale's I had last weekend just whet my appetite for some more. Luckily - I don't drink when I'm home alone with the kids and hubby works nights and has been working so much OT lately that when he's off we are too busy running around for me to remember that there is a six pack of Shiner Bock in the back of the fridge.

Changing diets is always fun. I don't know how long I'll be doing the HI/LO/NO thing. No carb days are a bitch. LOL

PLEASE do not follow Jens diet because she looks fab. This was her competition diet. Please ask questions.

Good luck hun & take care

 

[scorpiogirl]

Well, I've been training for 13 years now. Just need to change it up a bit. I pretty much know what will and will not work for me, and her diet has some things that will NOT work for me, but there are a few things that will.

I'm not going to go down to 1000 calories a day either. I think I'd probably shoot myself!!!! I'm planning on incorporating more fish and a couple of other foods and supplements, and dropping the caloric intake to no higher than 1300.

I'm going to take a look at her diet from about 8 - 12 weeks back from today. I definitely WON'T follow the immediate pre-contest diet.

Sorry if my earlier statement sounded rude, I really didn't mean it to be that way. You would be surprised at how many people just decide to start following someone elses diet. I just wanted you to know that it was ment for comp & not just everyday. Jen had 2 different trainers & two different diets, so I'm not sure which trainer/what diet she had 8-12 weeks ago. I'm sure she will let you know if she was happy with it or not.

Anyway, it sounds like you have things well planned out. Good job

 

[scorpiogirl]

I didn't think you were being rude at all! We're all here to help eachother and I understand - that's what you were doing. Your good intentions were taken!!

It's hard to know emphasis in postings too - so if I came off defensive - I really wasn't meaning to. Just explaining my position in training and diet.

I'm wanting to incorporate some low GI carbs in my diet. But I have a mental block on carbs. It's going to be a REALLY difficult transformation for me. I'm trying to keep in my head that although I'm adding a few carbs, I'm also lowering my caloric intake - hopefully it will balance out. I'm a little aprehensive!

 

[jenscats5]

Well, I've been training for 13 years now. Just need to change it up a bit. I pretty much know what will and will not work for me, and her diet has some things that will NOT work for me, but there are a few things that will.

Yeah that was killer!! Very very tough!! And I was very tired all the time!!

The last 4 weeks in my Competition log are with my NEW trainer. From about Sept 1st & on.......... BEFORE that was with the old trainer who had me seriously carb cycling, High then Low calories, high fat then no fat. The mood swings were HORRIBLE and I was miserable. The last 4 weeks I did were much better!! But again - you might want to go with higher calories.

 

[scorpiogirl]

OK, what I'll probably do is go with the foods the NEW trainer had you on, and up the calories a bit to fit my needs - have I mentioned YOU ARE SO FREAKIN' TINY!!!! Unbelievable the transformation from August to now. UNFRICKIN' BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do great out there today!!! How you feeling about everything so far?

Saturday morning I had my bf tested.

09-10-05 - 23%
09-24-05 - 21.5%

I stated in one of my posts that my clothes aren't fitting any differently and my weight hovers around 125. This morning, I put on a pair of Khaki's that I haven't worn for 2 weeks. The legs were VERY tight, but the butt and waist are comfortable. They use to be a little looser in the quads. I guess the legs are growing. I feel more solid and I actually feel "smaller", but I'm not.

Even though the low carb was working, I'm going to try the diet change-up anyway to see which way works best for me. I've always blown up with the carbs so I'm not going to let them get too high. But I am going to add a few to each meal and see what the results are. Yeay - I'm gettin' there!

In going over your log........ 1) Creatine could be making you hold water and 2) up until yesterday - you had some sort of cheat food in your day - like wine, pizza, etc - on most days. That could slow your results down. And you could be adding muscle in your thighs, causing your pants to feel tighter in the legs.

Great news on th BF loss. Like you, I struggle with keeping out the alcohol. I've managed to cut down significantly but the odd glass or two still creeps in.

 

[nikkita]

by reviewing your log, my opinion is that you still don't have a steady diet...sometimes you eat more... sometimes less, so in general you have a surpluss of calories which together with your training are making you grow. It would be helpful that you stick to a diet for at least a couple of weeks, without adding anything extra or reducing it...
I would definitively take off would be the swiss cheese.
How long have you been taking the creatine?
Are you doing cardio? if so how many times per week and how long?
On the other hand, you say that you don't want your legs to grow any more... so adjust your diet (if you have any questions feel free to tell me) and if after a couple of weeks you still feel that you're growing from your legs, then the leg routine has to change.

 

[scorpiogirl]

2) up until yesterday - you had some sort of cheat food in your day - like wine, pizza, etc - on most days. That could slow your results down.

The wine is a problem for me, as I stated on my very first post. I've done well this week, haven't touched it - YET! Sunday's are my cheat day and also a carb up day (previous low carb diet), so the pizza was my cheat meal. The day before that was just a screw up. I obviously had no self control that day! The weight gain is definitely muscle - since my bf is going down and I'm really not holding water right now. I am, however, going to stop the creatine for a week and see if there is difference. But I'm not feeling bloated or puffy at the moment.

Like you, I struggle with keeping out the alcohol. I've managed to cut down significantly but the odd glass or two still creeps in.

I'm glad I'm not alone on that! I feel guilty on the first glass, the 2nd glass and after is totally enjoyed - that can be a problem! lol

would definitively take off would be the swiss cheese. How long have you been taking the creatine?
Are you doing cardio? if so how many times per week and how long?

I was on a low carb diet for quite a while, that's where the cheese came in. I really try not to eat much of it unless I'm starving and it's my only option. I've been taking creatine for 3 weeks now. Haven't seen much bloating at all. I do cardio 5-6 times a week on an empty stomach. 20 min. elliptical HIIT 3-4 days, 20 min. elliptical steady pace 2-3 days.


Thanks for your critique, ladies! Much appreciated!!!!!

 

[skittles]

Instead of the cheese, have nuts

 

[*Bunny*]

I was able to cut significantly with Creatine as a staple in my Project. I know this isn't the case with many... However I am willing to bet your Diet is the culprit, I would focus on that and leave the creatine in.

I do have the power to make my legs BLOW UP from doing certain leg work, which is why I often avoid certain exercises and do not lift heavy when it comes to legs. This is def. person specific and something I didn't learn overnight.

Personally I strongly feel your diet needs to be your main focus, then leg routine, then maybe creatine.

I do have the power to make my legs BLOW UP from doing certain leg work, which is why I often avoid certain exercises and do not lift heavy when it comes to legs.

I think I'm going to need to back down on the legs a little. I just really didn't think I was training them all that hard. I need to change my mental mind set from bulking to cutting. It's hard to do! I feel like a sissy! I feel like I'm doing the big plates or pink weights - as Sassy would say. Right now, I'm definitely in the pink!

However I am willing to bet your Diet is the culprit, I would focus on that and leave the creatine in.

Well, I guess since I haven't seen bloating with it, I probably could. Hmmmm, just not sure what I'm going to do yet about this one. I have until morning to figure it out.

Instead of the cheese, have nuts

I eat lots of Almonds. I never realized just how much I liked them until recently.

Personally I strongly feel your diet needs to be your main focus

.....focusing.......transitioning from low carb (20-50) to moderate carb (50-80).

 

[nikkita]

What is a flaked Cod?

 

[scorpiogirl]

It's just a Cod Filet sauteed in Olive Oil. They don't stay in one piece. Basically they flake apart. Very good stuff!

Hip - 37.5
Thigh (upper) 22
Thigh (lower) 19.5

09-30-05
Bi 11.5
Chest 37
Waist 26
Hip 37.5
Thigh (upper) 22
Thigh (lower) 19.5
Calve 13

Now that my top half is melting, my bottom half should follow.

I thought my quads were growing, but I must have been looking at the wrong number (lower instead of upper). So I think I can leave my leg training the way it is - for the time being.

I'm currently doing a 3 point calliper bf test, but I think I'm going to add a mid-thigh fold to that test because my pants are much tighter on my legs, but the measurements say they haven't grown. I'm thinking maybe my fat% has decreased there and muscle has increased, so the absence of fat has made a difference. Does that make any sense?

 

[*MissFit*]

Just remember u can learn from someone elses log.. but not everything works for everyone

Hi Scorpio Girl, you said in another post that sometimes you can have up to 125-150g of fat in a day. Is it OK to have these many fat grams, even though they're the good fats? I still don't understand the low carb / carb cycling thing. Since I've been logging, my fat grams have been over 50 and I've been worrying about it - I thought it was getting too high.

Oh, so much like me. Alcohol was a staple of my diet. Trying to break the habit has not been easy - in fact apart from making sure I eat regularly, it's been the hardest part. Makes me sound like a lush!

Ouuuuuuuuuuu great job girl I was contemplating this for dinn dinn but not sure. From 2 glasses a day to 2 glasses one night a week... that is still good.

...and I have a question....last week my fiance tested my bf (he's my tester every week). We do the 3 point test. He got 15 in all all three areas. This morning he had to work, so I got the callipers out and did my own test. I got 13, 12, 12! I'm going to have him test me in the morning to see what he gets, but I'd love to actually be the numbers I got. Is it possible to go from 21.5 to 17-18 in a week?

[scorpiogirl]

Well, I made it back alive!!! .....and I did very well.

I took a cooler with me, my protein powder and gym clothes. Didn't have a shake or go to the gym ONCE!!! OH NO!!!

I did, however, manage to stay on the right track with my diet when I was there. I dug into my cooler for tomatoes, ANPB, almonds etc. while we were in our room at the hotel. The rest of the time, we were on the showroom floor talking to bed and lotion manufacturers. Not a lot of time to eat and I was REALLY hungry a few times. Didn't have any "junk" until our last night there and yesterday was still my cheat. The scale says I gained 2 1bs - but it HAD to be water. Couldn't have been anything else.

I'm not going to log from the weekend - but I'm back on for today.

While doing my Reverse Crunches I felt a small pain in my lower back on the right side. I stopped to feel around for what it might be and found a lump. It's not on top of the skin, it's deep. It wasn't there last week, so I guess I'll just keep an eye on it and see what it does.

Sun. 10-23-05 CHEAT DAY
Didn't weigh in today

8:30 AM
1 Ephedrine
1/2 Caffiene

Was ready to to cardio and got sidetracked with a family emergency. It's not a good day at my house today. My 17 year old daughter got in some major trouble and will end up in juvi by the time the day is over. We've tried and tried with her. She just keeps making really bad decisions....and it doesn't help that she has a LOSER boyfriend. No job, no car, no money and he's 18. She on the other hand risked her jobs (she HAD two), car (which she wrecked in the process last night) and her freedom just so she could see him. Just not a good day.

1:30 PM
Marco's Italian Sub
1 Fish Oil
1 Green Tea
