This is my log! I'm actually going to go through this one. It is my first cut. For the first year i've been here i've basically just learned a whole bunch, now I'm putting that into a recorded program. Goals are to lose fat while improving upper body strength. Still trying to pass a certain test that requires 6 pull ups and 42 push-ups.

Stomach=My worst body part
Pictures= Stomach Pushed out/Relaxed/Tightened
...at about 7 PM and right after eating, yet it seems like the pictures make me look thinner than I really am. Who really knows. Our bodies change to much to really know, but pictures can't lie.

Pushout.gif

Relaxed.gif

Pullin.gif


Want to decrease my bodyfat (22% by one person's caliper) and weight to 135 lbs or less by April 1, with the appearance of my stomach as my main comparison tool. That's about 12 weeks to lose 8-9 lbs.

Starts Sunday, January 7th, 2007.
 
Welcome to log world! 12 weeks -- walk in the park! If you can, get your bodyfat measured - don't spend your whole time measuring success w/ the scale. I've had my weight drop 2 lbs but bodyfat drop by 9%.

Hey girl. Looks like a good start and your body has a great foundation to work with already, don't doubt it! :qt: 12 weeks is going to be simple, just like Sassy said.

Are you using FitDay to track what you eat? Do you have a food ratio in mind for protein/carbs/fat percentages?

I ask because while your breakfast looks good, the carbs in the steel oats might be a bit high... maybe you just need 1/2 of that as a serving size (thought I'm not sure... I don't eat carbs at breakfast... just PM part of the day); I'm glad you balanced it out with eggs though :)

Lunch needs a bit more. :) How much chicken is a "sliver"? Gotta fuel those workouts girl, even afterward.

Did you know that after you lift weights is the time when your body's muscles are opened up and waiting for you to fill it with protein, their building-blocks? That's why it's always important to eat (or drink) something with lots of protein just after a weightlifting workout (such as your push-up workout).

Keep us posted. You work hard and this progress will be QUICK. And YES get that body fat measured!
 
Welcome to logging, Rocky Road! Bunch of knowledgeable ladies (and gents) here, a gold mine of information, in fact. Don't be hesitant to ask them anything. :)
 
Thanks for your support, girls!
Edited all the wrong stuff. Have no idea why I thought I had eaten a cup of oats--that was just the amount in the whole batch.

To do today:
Clean out freezer to make my own shelf (Mom gave the okay..yay!)
Figure out meal plans for this week
Figure out if the bread Mom bought is healthy--it's that "Healthy Oat" brand and the main ingredient is Whole Wheat Flour, but the 2nd ingredient is some kind of Enriched flour; what do you think? When I shop I always buy the 100% whole wheat kind
 
2:30 Lunch
Rest of 6 oz Chicken (always Boneless, skinless)
1.2 cups broccoli
.4 Cup WW Pasta
2 Tablespoons Tomato Sauce
3/4 cup milk
 
I am sure the bread is "healthy" - unless one of the ingredients is rat poison or lard, it is "healthy".

My thoughts are this .....

1) If you are trying to lose a few lbs and become healthier - then just about everything can have a place in your diet. It is all about moderation and eating to maximize your goals.`

2) You are still very young and need a lot of nutrients. No need to start deeming foods "good" and "bad" at this point. Eat a wide variety of foods, all with high nutritional values.
 
Good point. I'm just curious as to if I should eat the bread or not, and if I should ever buy that kind again.

3:15 2 Tablespoons Naturally More Peanut butter with a little extra liquid egg white added in


ANOTHER QUESTION: I just noticed that Fit Day PC Version won't let you copy/paste any charts, so how do you guys transfer your total cal and macros onto EF every day? Do you simply type it out? Seems like it would take a lot of extra time compared to just copy/paste. What a bummer. Thanks....
 
Does the bread fit into your daily calorie count and macro count? Does it offer you any health/performance benefits? If it fits into your daily diet plan and/or it offers you some other benefit - then it is fine.

There is room for just about anything in a well-designed plan (except, of course, a pre-competition diet, lol). In my opinion.

I don't use the PC version (pay version). The free version lets you copy/paste easily.
 
5:00 Was watching movie at a guy's house. Saw Popcorn on the table. I was hungry, and it was Butter, but was also a fairly dependable Kroger brand, so I figured it was no big deal if I munched some. After eating two handfuls I look at the label and to my surprise it's TRANS FAT POPCORN! I can't believe Kroger still makes that shit. Anyway, I also had some raw veggies and ~ 2 tablespoons Spinach dip


6:00 Dinner
Spaghetti (WW Pasta but unknown meat and tomatoe sauce added)
Mushrooms (Filled up a cup when frozen, but they really shrink haha)
3/4 Cup Milk
2 More Tblsp. Naturally More PB

I think that's everything I ate today, lol. Damn that takes time. Anywho, here is the grand total....

Cal 2,027
Fat 59 Grams
Saturated 15 g (ouch! where did that come from? The whole rounding up thing on Fit Day is preety gay)
Poly 6 g
Mono 6 g
Carbs 251 g
Protein 138 g

Edit: forgot to add 1/2 cup lowfat yogurt, 2 peaches in white wine sauce and handful of walnuts..... too busy to add this to the total.
Calories from Fat/Carb/Protein 26/40/27 ouch.....
 
Last edited:
9:20 Artichoke Hearts, Calamari (sucks how much it SHRINKS when it's cooked), piece of Brownberry bread and one piece turkey

12:30 Boring Salad....mostly lettuce and then crap we don't need, didn't eat the cheese but did eat the deli sliced ham and turkey and hardboiled egg white. School salads aren't so exciting. 8 oz milk, one medium or large orange (need to start measuring them to get an idea of the sizes)

3:00 to 5:00 Cooked a nice little stir fry...1/2 cup canned tomatoe and chicken broth, 3 oz shrimp, stir fry frozen vegetables, .3 Cup WW pasta, 1/3 South Beach Diet Bar-the 140 Calorie size, 4 tbls. Naturally more PB, only about 2 tblsp Choc protein powder w/ water

6:00 35 Mins Spinning

7:00 PWO
1/2 scoop choc protein powder (Intake Lean Double Chocolate)
6 oz milk

7:45 Large Salad-mix from bagged, yellow peppers, red onion, cucumber, 2.6 oz chicken, 8 pieces turkey pepperoni, 2 WW sesame crackers
^Filled me up

I drink a ton of water every day.

Yayyy my ratios are so much better today than ever before!
Calories 1800 (... 24J-ENNY!)
22/36/37 Percent F/C/P
9/3/3 Sat/Mon/Pol; not as bad as yesterday, did have flax seed in their too but Fit day doesn't seem to CARE!
40 g Fiber



I have so many problems with Fit day. Ideas to make it better. Maybe I should study Entreupreneurship in college, and make my own website. That would merge my interest in diet and fitness, and my talent for business into one study. What do you girls think? Would you buy the software from me?
I'm not sharing my ideas on the interweb, but I'd make sure to change all the garbaaaage wrong with fitday. And when you type in "salad", you'd see the SALAD GREENS first instead of like freaking "egg salad", "potato salad", heh..

Does anyone read this?

Anyway, Jan 9. I thought i just screwed up big time by eating maybe 4.5 tablespoons ANPB just now but in actuality It probobly helped out my percentages a little. Yeah, nevermind, it was a slight screw up because it added too many calories at once.

Weight 142
Cal 2300
32%/30%/36%
(only bad is saturated fat--25g!!)

Don't think I want to bother plugging in food for the day as I haven't had enough sleep lately and so need to get enough tonight.

Training today was light cardio and push-ups. Alternated jogging a lap on the tredmill with sets of push ups. Push ups were preety good, I did about 70 in sets of 10 to 15. Jogging was hard for some reason, prolly cuz i'm sleepy, and I didn't do a lot of it. Did only like 2 miles total including a long walking cool down (jogging was @ about 5.8 mph)
 
Just now: totally binged.

I do this once or twice a week. Today I had so much crap, but i'm not worrying about it right now. I'll accept that I put myself back a week or two.

I just need to be patient, and to keep motivating myself. Buffalogal's quotes are very motivating....

Soory to disappoint today!
 
No reason to stress about it - it happens. Recognizing your "triggers" helps, as does learning how to handle the total pig out days ..... learning how to eat smaller portions of "BAD FOOD", etc.

One day of piggy-ness does not set you back weeks, not with your goals. It often is more of a mental/emotional setback than physical. We tend to beat ourselves up about our pig outs too much - causing bad feelings and stress.

Tomorrow is another day!

The downfall of a lot of serial dieters is a binge. They despair over their lack of self control & feel they've lost it. It's like everything else, ya gotta get back on the horse & ride it a little bit longer next time.

YEP!! :)

Don't worry about a minor set-back, everyone has them. Besides, you sound like you're highly motivated with your training program and school courses...your website idea sounds great, too.
 
Hey rocky_road! :wavey:

Have you got back on track after your binge? I'm pretty bad w/ binges myself... but it is getting a bit easier with time. ;)
 
:wavey:

I agree with DG on the binge thing - I;ve had them and it does help to recognize the trigger so you can replace the reaction with something more positive......
 
Hm well if people read this I should have at it. It's not really ideal to copy and paste all my foods at two places--fit day AND here--but what's a girl to do? I'll change all that in time, and become super rich, and support EF. :-)

So, for yesterdays' log (already posted the 2300 cal and macros), I had

6:30 3 egg whites, Cup hi/lo cereal, (woops, i had plugged in 1/2 cup, changes the cals and macros a little)....this stuff is awesome.... one cup has 2 grams fat, 26 g carbs, 24 grams protein-mostly from soy- and like 12 g fiber......reeeally awesome and tastes good too,,, plus 2.3 tbls ANPB (for now on, this stands for Naturally More PB unless otherwise noted) and cup skim milk

snack- full SBD protein bar, strawberry Activia yogurt + small amount strawberry protein power

Lunch- Salad (This always equals: salad greens, piece of turkey, hardboiled egg, and 8 fl oz milk, unless otherwise noted)

Aft snack- clementine, raw carrots, 1/2 serving Baked Lays, 4 oz chicken (the last three things taste really good together...I was craving crunchy so i filled up on the carrots and had a chip here and there in between, and shoved chicken up in the mouth sporadically....try it, yumm....i'm not being sarcastic, it really is good), sugarless gum (need to buy more! Definetely would have prevented my binge today), 2/3 serving dark chocolate

Dinner- One full can green beans, :chomp: roasted beef (tried to get excess fat off using my Lean Mean coooking machine, didn't work? guess that's only for hamburgers :Chef: ), milk, piece ww bread

nighttime- 2 egg whites, Veggie "Sausage" Pattie, 1/2 english muffin, and then the PB that I mentioned earlier...4 tblsp.

Looking back yes it was a lot of food. I need to take my time eating, like I really made a point to during my first day or two of my "diet"


Not even going to bother plugging anything in today as basically the whole day was junk food! Lol honestly, and after school i binged on ice cream and a cookie, and semisweet chocolate, and 2 south beach diet bars, i Mean who does that??
<------- No wonder I made my name Rocky Road LMAO, that's kinda sad.

But you know what's really sad? The heaviest, most obese girl in my school got voted "most well-rounded" I feel sooo bad for her. It's
the meanest thing I've heard of in a long time. Damn. :(

About bingeing---School ticks me off, so coming home to any empty house is my trigger. Plan is to start popping gum as soon as I walk in the door, turning on the radio and cooking. Just those first two things are enough to totally turn around what I decide to do with my meal.

Training for the day: Slightly over an hour of cardio. Saw a classmate and we talked and talked and talked the whole time we were on the machines; it went by soooooo fast. I need to do that more often. It was really fun and I didn't want to get off the machine. Started to feel that "runners high" type of thing. I should think of a clever name for that for gym rats-- You know how sometimes you get obsessed w/ working out and you spend forever in the gym, probobly overtraining? How about this... You're an Exercisamanian, and the "high" you feel is called Exercisamania. WOOO BOY, (girl), I like myself. :heart:

Love all.
 
1/11/07
Morning Weight 142.8, same as yesterday
6:30 3 Eggwhites with light cheese, fat free yogurt, 2 peaches from Trader Joe's canned (delicious), Go Lean Crunch cereal sprinkled on
9:30 1/2 red pepper, small amount WW pasta, ~2.5 oz chicken, ~2 tablespoons tomatoe sauce
12:30 cup skim milk, salad with greens, baby carrots, cucumber, green pepper with 3 tblp. French dressing, 1 egg white
3:00 cottage cheese, walnuts, 1/2 apple cut up, anywhere up to 1.5 cups Go Lean Crunch
 
Tonight was so bad....

I am considering it a second binge....

After tomorrow, everything should be awesome. I have 3 days of cooking for myself, every meal. 3 days of independence--to do what I want. I fucking love this. And the days after aren't bad, either, because I only have one day of real school. WOOOHOOOOO. This weekend will be awesome. Tomorrow I need groceries!
 
I just read through some of my old threads. Man, I have a pottymouth. Just wanted to take a few moments to apoligize for this. I've offended some people, like when I said something about logs being stupid because no one answered my question threads. That's selfish to the extreme. Sometimes you just get too caught up in your own life to realize what you're doing/saying. I'm glad I re-read all that. Never going to act so bratty and immature again.

Would also like to share a story. I know that impatient drivers are a given, but this lady I observed was really something else. I was driving to the gym today, when I noticed this car behind me. This fat, really really ugly lady.. her face had that cottage look for a good bit under her chin. I noticed her because she was doing the nuttiest stuff. She was like, pissed off, apparently because I let a car pull in front of me before I passed the local college (it looked really busy so I figured the right thing to do was the let one car go, you go take turns kinda deal... the car in front of me had let one go, so I just followed lead)---I hadn't done anything else that would have pissed her off, and she was obviously mad at me cause she stared at me and gave me the finger when I turned left and she went straight. Her actions were the strangest thing though. Really, truly, this was a messed-up women. She had a skinny, slouching teenage looking kid in the front seat, obviously so embarrased of his mother's horrific actions......and I felt terrible for him. He was plugging his ears with his hands while she bitched and bitched (her mouth never stopped moving), but yet he was just chillin--like he wasn't freaking out (what could he do? Tell his mother to shut up? Threaten to kill her? Lol he really had no choice but to just sit there, and the fact that he didn't freak out shows a lot about his character, and the type of person he will become---> not like his mother). While we were stopped at a light she kept honking her horn, not like a normal person would but like a crazy lady--she put both hands on the horn and made it look like a real effort to press down the horn--you know what I mean. I was getting confused so I pulled over to the side of the road just incase she was having a baby or something and needed to get through----No, she's just really impatient and unhappy. I turned around in the seat just to make sure my rear view mirror wasn't fooling me, and kind of just to look at her like "Are you serious?" She and her son had my intrigue. I wanted to know how he was doing despite her. I wanted her to understand that her reactions affect so many people (she has even affected anyone reading this, and is bound to affect so many more).....or like, if she wouldn't change, to use my athletic power to make her have a heart attack, so that her poor soon can live his teenage life without the negativity of that disgusting lady. Teenage years are so important, and every day I find myself thinking about how ones parents will dictate how happy a teenager's life is. I really do think thats the truth. Parents are the closest thing to God in the Making of a person. I just wish the world understood that a little better. This story has many morals to it, including but not limited to the following:
1.) Get control of yourself.
2.) Raise your kids as you would want to be raised
3.) You CAN judge a person if they make it blantant to you what kind of person they are. Lol. Normally, of course, their might be several reasons why someone would act some way. Actually, I am preety sure that this lady must have been abused or something as a child. I preety much attribute most character flaws to nurture. It's just my opinion. The point of this was not to bitch about the lady, but, I suppose, just to point out that weird wrong shit happens and everyone should be aware of it and its implications. Actually, I just had to tell someone.

Hey R_R!! Welcome back to logging! Wishing you the best with this journey! Stick with it :D
 
Thanks, Bunnie!

I just came home a few hours from out of town visiting relatives. Didn't eat completely unhealthy except for one night of ice cream and chocolate coffee bean candy. I ate at least 2 egg whites every day and brought my own HiLo cereal for breakfast. Lots and lots of fruit salad every day--kept me full and out of complete junk food (for the most part).

This evening I had a killer upper body workout. I started out with 3 sets of breathing squats to help increase my rib cage (read it in a bodybuilding encyclopedia), followed by 3 reps, about 2 exercises each of lots of stuff- bis, tris, chest, back. Just tried to get a good workout in. Probobly should have done more reps and more exercises for less body parts but you know what? I don't care. :-) Because I was feeling the burn.

Dude sure they can. Either in your favor or against. The tape measure cant though. :) If you're measuring your abdomen just make sure you measure it first thing every day, before you've eaten, to get consistent measures.

From how many points did they make measurements, and who performed the test? Both those factors can make a huge difference in the numbers you get. You might want to make sure you get a trained person to do it to ensure you get a reasonably reliable baseline. I've had skinfold results vary as much as 3% from one tester to another on the same day.

Bunny and HidNGod...Are you sure? I definetely see your point, but I'm not sure I will ever look as good as I want to by not dieting. I at least want to diet down before going to college...kind of as a learning experience into my own body before I go ruin it lol. I want to learn how exactly food can make my body work because I feel like I can really make changes to my body if I stop eating some truly very unhealthy things here and there and not considering it as much as I would If I was "dieting".

Okay, I just changed my mind. I see what you mean. I'm already at a healthy weight; there is no need for me to "diet". I just shall pay more attention to what I eat. :rainbow: Thank you!

Thank you, but you're mistaken! Level-headed and rational? You only think so because I change my mind so much that you just read through my decision making process. I switched so fast I hadn't even finished writing the first decision! Lol! But I guess that happens when you're a teenage girl!

Mood/Thoughts: I don't have school tomorrow, so I'm going to the gym again to burn off the carb calories from after dinner! My afternoon workout was hardly good enough, the gym is sooo crowded at 4:30! At least my afternoon workout took away my headache.

Soreness:
None-woohoo!

Today's Goals:


Meal Plan
M1: Hi Lo Cereal, 1/2 grapefruit, 2 Morningstar Veggie sausage links
M2: Low carb chicken wrap w/ hummus, chopped veggies; 10 calorie no sugar jello; bit of leftover salad and salmon
M3: chicken, pinto beans, I can't remember what else! some kind of whole grain starch, I know that much...
M4: grilled chicken, cherry ripe tomoato w/ cheese, zuccini and vegetables, wheat puffs with milk
M5: more cereal, protein cookie (PP + water), some other small thing that I can't remember or don't care to!?
wayy alot sugarless gum--probobly why i had a headache today

Cardio and/or Weights Plan
4:30- 40 minutes elliptical....didn't get my heartrate past 164 :-/
Gym again from 9-10 is under plan....
 
Things I'm noticing:

1. I understand you're wary of carbs and see that sometimes, if you keep them away for too long, you go off the deep end with it. I am very guilty of this myself and have conquered this in the past year. Soooo...

2. Instead of sporadically falling into a binge trap, why don't you and your mom plan one day a week and call that your "refurbish/cheat day". If you are using your Fitday (which you're doing great keeping up with, by the way) and seeing the 40/30/30 nearly daily, 6 days a week... day 7 you'll need to replenish your glycogen stores that you have been depleting all week with your workouts (that is, if you're getting 5+ workouts in a week). What you will find is by looking FORWARD to this one day a week, you will be more well-rounded in your eating choices during the week and should have an easier time turning away from the SBD bars, popcorn and protein cookies that may stand in the way.

Yogurt, veggies, salad, milk, Kashi, breads... it's all carbs in small and larger forms, so continue to be religious about the Fitday and keep an eye on how they all add up.

Great news that mom is in this with you now... and instead of "Can have" and "Cannot have" how about "Can wait until Saturday to eat these." If you pick a day of the week to ENJOY food... it's not the enemy anymore. You eat slower, you relish the meal, you love food again and it's guilt-free because Sunday to Friday, you do what you need to do (proper cals, proper macros).

Ciao.
 
Your advice confuses me. First you pointed out that I go a while without carbs, than kind of binge on them by eating too many, or flat out do binge on them. Then you say to keep it to one cheat meal a week. You were right the first time..I cant really deprive myself-at ALL-of carbs. I have never made it a whole week completely 100% 30/30/40 and quite frankly I'm scared to try!

I'm just trying to be healthy and make slow progress. BTW I don't know if you've noticed but I'm not really keeping up with Fitday. I do sometimes like on the weekends when I think i'd eat badly otherwise. But it's too much of a hassle right now in my life. I don't prepare all of my own foods anyway, and Fitday annoys me. One types in "egg" and gets 5 percent clean foods and 95 percent junk, so one has to basically plug in everything under custom except for like "apple" lol

It's as if I'm punishing myself and holding back myself from success. It starts out by wanting a bite of something--and then I end up overeating. I feel less conscious when I do eat it. I'm trying to fix this----for the rest of my life.
 
....Therefore, I am glad I'm going back to counceling soon. The councelor completely helped my sister with her ED (she was bulimic and anorexic when in 8th-9th grade), and I've heard a lot of good things about her.

Now, i'm off to the gym to do some swimming and spa'ing, and hopefully i'll have the energy to do other cardio too.

Chest.........34.75"..............34.75
Waist.........30"..................29.5............... -.5

Right Thigh..21.5"...............21.5
Left Arm.....11.75"..............11.75
Right Arm....11"..................11



Mood/Thoughts: Obviously i'm not where I want to be mentally. The past 4-5 days I've followed a routine of binging on ANPB and light breyers Rocky Road ice cream. I think going to a councelor may help some, but who knows. In the end it's up to me to be happy and to commit to what I really want. (I really do want this.) I want to tone down a lot in the next 10 weeks, so my plan is to log here every single day. It's all mental. I have the metabolism to make significant changes in my body. Given that I binged for 4 days in a row and didn't gain any weight (in fact my waste measurement went down, though the measurement change was likely erroneous)---I am confident that I can change, and I'm tired of feeling like I'm the one holding myself back. No more.

Soreness:
back and legs are sore from exercising every day this week

Today's Goals:
stretch and do homework

Meal Plan
M1: Irish style oats with milk, splenda, cinnamon; 3 egg whites; orange pepper and salsa
M2: 1.3 large WW low-carb tortillas, meet (chicken and microwaveable beef), green pepper, low fat string cheese, blueberry activia yogurt, 2 WW wheat thins dipped in chilli
M3: homemade very lean meat chilli (but with lots of sugar-carbs from tomatoe juice, etc) OR tuna w/ WW wheat thins-----
M4: Out to eat for sister's birthday (it's also exactly MY half-birthday.... I am 18.5) at Applebees or another steak house--ordering fish and vegetables.
M5: if anything, a very lean meet such as chicken...with celery and hummus

Cardio and/or Weights Plan
None-- rest & recover day
 
PS. I know why I fell into binge traps this week. It was simply because of a lack of both 1.) planning and 2.) willpower.

Soory to disppoint this week, however, I'm excited that I have started eating better TODAY and do look forward to next week's measurements. Keep faith in me, 'cause i'll succeed, lol :-)

WED FEB 21 HAPPY ASH WEDNESDAY

Lifted weights in the evening, and it felt gooooood :-). Improved in all my lifts, and I'm happy to say that within like 2 forearm workouts with just one exercise (rolls) I progressed from a 2.5 lb weight to a 5 lb weight. Hahaha. I feel like such a girl when I have to take off the 25 pound weight and put on my dinky pink one, lol.

I haven't been getting enough sleep lately, so I must go to bed within 10 minutes. I know it's not good for my progress to be getting 5...6! hours of sleep, so I need to up those numbers really fast.

Fight the good fight, everybody.!
