View Full Version : wanted to start
just thought since im always documented and recording on fitday, i might as well check my progress with training aswell.
this week i decided to take the week off gym as it was beautiful weather and wanted to exercise outdoors. so every secibd day have been mixing up my cardio 20-30mins interval training in the morning or 45mins walking.
I just needed a change.
diet has thus not been as good, as my appetite hasnt been as strong (due to lack of lifting). However this is good cos im excited to get into it next week.
todays diet: (poor effort)
m1: 2eggs, 4 egg whites, tomato, mushroom
m2; humous, mixed veg, avo
m3: seefood salad
m4; almonds, low carb biscuit
m5; fish and salad

Hey Rez :)
Boy - You are brave :D I think I scare most people off when they try to start journals and things (I tend to 'nag' a little when it comes diet ;))... I'll try to be kind!!
Good to see you starting a journal though - it really holds you accountable for your training and diet.
(ps: Eat more!!)
Thanx ;) i will try. next week should be great! (x fingers)

Nice picture rez, where is that taken?
I agree, you don't look overly underweight (you have a very similar body to mine actually) but more muscle is always good! :)
hmm...that photo was in figi 2002/3. absolutely amazing place.
as for the underweight thing - thats why i cant understand what happened with my hormones, cos i wasnt anorexic or anything and then everything went heywire. i would like to get back to where i was - but dont really see how less training and more carbs will get me there (but im doing it anyway).
today:
m1: sheep yoghurt, blueberries, p/powder
m2: 1 apple, 1/4 cup oats, whey
training: chest+tris, 12mins interval training
m3 postw/o: 1/3cup oats, whey
m4: 2 slices low fat cheddar, 12 almonds, 1/2 apple
m5: chicken+veg
i think emma should be happy with this day ;)
o and period is back again - very weird...but not complaining

Diet is looking great rez! :)
Re being underweight - sometimes, while we may not be underweight according to the charts, we can be "underweight" according to our body's set point and genetic base... which is why our body rebels!

started yoga yesterday and love it!
been eating really healthy and having big (for me) carbdays with weight training.
so its 3days med-hi carbs, 4 days low carbs: which is suiting me really well.
