Good Luck on Wednesday Roony - you will do GREAT!!

I'm back from visiting my trainer who does my measurements and helps me put my diet together. As suspected, I have not lost body fat.

Current Stats compared to Last Stats on 12/8/05:

BF% - 16% (up 0.1%)
Chest - 30.5 inches (up 0.5 inch)
Bi - 11 inches (same)
Waist - 23.75 inches (up 1 inch)
Abd - 28.75 inches (down 2 inches)
Thigh - 20 inches (up 1/3 inch)
Hips - 38 inches (down 1/4 inch)
Shoulder - 36 3/4 inches (up 3/4 inch)

Anyway, we went through my diet and she decided to revamp it. My macros are to be 40p/20f/40c. Out of the 40% carbs, 20% should be from complex carb sources and the other 20% fruit & veggies where the fruit is to be eaten early in the day.

I'm supposed to throw out my brown rice cakes (still processed even if the ingredient says only brown rice), my Gatorade (too bad Nelms!), cottage cheese and all other dairy (except for whey). Complex carbs can be oats, brown rice, Ezeikal bread and starchy veggies like yam. I can use the same protein and fat sources as I've been doing.

Training/cardio stays the same.

We're going to try this out for the next 4 weeks and see what happens.

As of now, I'm just going to finish out this week as is since I already went grocey shopping and have a ton of food that I need to eat up. I should be ready to start up this program as of next Monday...wish me luck!

BG, Lemon-lime is probably the best option among the flavors. I use Vanilla whey too....delish combo but make sure you use a lot of water (~ 20oz) or it will be too sweet otherwise! Let me know how you like it.

This brings up a great point I forgot to mention. This should be heavily diluted after a workout, for even faster absorption. Put it in at least 32 oz. of water and feel free to start drinking during the workout. Down the rest of it after.

BEST OF LUCK on your test! You have IP's and my most sincerest well-wishes.

I took the day off today to get more last minute studying done, but gave up because I’ve reached the point where I’m second guessing myself at this point on everything.

Hey, RT! No problem.

Do me a favor, though. Have your trainer read everything she can get her hands on by John Berardi and Lonnie Lowery. Check out the research they've done, along with the research they cite. I'm not wanting to cause trouble. I just want to see what she would have to say about it.

Again....GOOD LUCK!!! YOU CAN DO IT!

I PASSED!!!!

I can’t thank you all enough for your support and encouragement along the way. It was a truly nerve wracking experience sitting in a high security exam room for 4 hours. They wouldn’t even let me bring water in. Of course, food was a no-no too, so I had to leave my oatmeal and liquid egg whites in the lockers provided outside. I took a break after the second hour to eat my meal in the stairwell. I swear, the carbs made my brain work a little faster after
