Im sick .. Im sad
I ate like crap today high cals... high carbs lots of OJ :(
Ive been working so hard I am so afraid to backtrack in progress..
WHY does this always happen when Im on a roll?
Im so frustrated right now and feeling guilty. I cant stomach ground turkey and vegis when I feel like this.

Here is my day sort of ..in no particular order.

about 4 glasses of juice
saltines about 8
2 prtn pancakes
prtn bar
chicken and vegis
chicken ,corn , salsa, and baked tortilla chips for dinner - very spicy helped my throat.

Yes Im a pig today . Hopefully these antibiotics kick in and I feel better tomorrow. I should have known yesterday I felt soooo weak at the gym but I thought I was being lazy and kept pushing myself as hard as I could.

[Emma-Leigh]

Hey Girl,

Just checking in to see if everything is ok.... You have been a little silent lately!?

Hope all is well...

[gallerygurl]

Ive been ok Emma just a little overtrained and overdieted I think because I got real sick with a lung infection..
My weight is at 121. I finally worked out again today and I feel so much better. I needed a big refeed I think and I kept ignoring it and this is what I got!!
Oh well , the last time that I took 2 weeks off I dropped weight again when I started . Maybe thats what will happen with me this time *fingers crossed* .
Either way at least I healed up within a week . Thats record time for me!!
Im about 4 pounds from my old weight . But I definitely eat a ton more now.

Hi yall !
Ive been missin you guys!
Well, Ive been getting a little confused again about things probably because I am getting impatient!
My weight is 120. Id like it to be 115.
I remember a time where I would be sooooooo happy if my weight was 120. But now I complain and whine again hehe:)
Ive cut my cardio back to 3 days . Not to gain muscle but because my trainer suggested it for my tiredness factor! I still have at leats 3 hours of dance practice so maybe I was overdoin it! We will have to see how everything ends up going. If I gain Ill start a huffin and puffin again! I feel really fat though. Maybe Im bloated .
The good news is if I cut back and maintain I can always add back and it will be a big shock!

MY GOALS FOR TODAY:
1. water - drink lots of it 160z per meal at least!
2. vitamins - take em 2x
3. back shoulders and abs - no cardio!
4. clean eating with lots of vegis!

Hey Girl! Good to see you back! :D

You have done so well girl! Congratulations!

Just be careful ok - you do NOT need to be back where you were before - too skinny and sickly..! Don't let yourself get sucked back into a cycle of dissatisfaction with your body. Your weight is very healthy at the moment - Keep it that way!!

Good to see! As you say - if you stop seeing results you can always add it back in again.

Anyway- Welcome back!! Hope to see you around a little more this time :)

GG,

I was having the same problem a couple of years ago about low blood sugar. A trainer/nurse suggested I have a Protein Shake when I first wake up in the morning and a small glass of orange juice about 30 mins before workout in the morning. This helped big time. Just a suggestion, check your diet. I haven't seen what your 7 day plan is but I believe it can be improved, also the scheduled times you eat (every 2 1/2 to 3 hrs?). I'm sure one of the ladies here would be willing to help you set up something that may work a little better for you. I think this could help with the weight loss you want and also give you that extra endurance for dancing. Keep up the good work, seems as tho you have it pretty much together.

[gallerygurl]

thanx GR!
I know I should have eaten (is that a word:) ? ) again before I went to the gym but I didnt listen to my body.
That has been an ongoing struggle for me : BUT Im getting better at it!
Im still working out the tweeks with my seven day plan too, it all gets pretty confusing sometimes for me when to keep pushing myself and when I need a break.

[gallerygurl]

1 . Drink a gallon of water each day.

2. Clean eating - no cheats until high day!!!

3. LOTS of vegis at least two meals a day must contain vegis.

Your diet is looking pretty good. You should have a carb refeed midweek and on the weekend. Gives you a little more energy for the workouts.

Feel better soon. :)

Hi there gallerygurl! You have a nice figure, quads are starting to come through quite nicely! I would estimate you at about 22% body fat at the moment, but that is just a rough guess!

Keep up the good work, you are doing great with the diet and training!
