Why hello stranger! You aren't eating enough....nor are you eating enough carbies! You have to eat at least 200 calories over your mantainance to bulk.... Your fats should be 30% at the highest....I really like a 50/30/20 for bulking and in general. My calorie intake is approx. 2000 and I'm a small fry. I think you should be somewhere near 2100 calories a day...just a guess not knowing your weight, height or bf! haha ;) Kris is right, carbies and milk are the miracle workers when bulking. Your carbs should be in the general area of 200-190 a day. I eat a lot of fruits, almonds, ff cottage cheese, ff yogurt, ff milk, oats, whey, go lean cereal, ground turkey, chicken, turkey lunch meat, and even wheat bread girl! :D Don't be scared....eat those d@mn carbs!!!! I even got my bench up to my body weight.....come on, join in on the fun!

[WannaBeModel]

landed Sire back on punishment BOYS! LOL

Alright...post a days nutrition for us. Then we can see where you need to go from there. From the looks of the accidental food, your body is craving carbs. Give in! :D

SV TO THE RESUCE. Actual mood modification when putting on my gym clothing. Less paranoia. I realize that being on display is a part of the program.

Me to the rescue....naw! There's many days where I thought I couldn't or can't and you ladies have brought me up. You rescued yourself...you just don't know it yet. ;) Hey right now wear what you are comfortable in at the gym. If you put on a tank and you feel gross, grap a tee shirt. Makes you focus on your lifting instead of what other people are thinking or you feeling uncomfortbale in any way. I've been wearing tee shirts and it helps me feel comfortable right now.

[arose70]

Welcome back :)

[angeleye]

ah man, I Love this place!

[WannaBeModel]

Woohoo! :D Good to have you back! I hope that you can stick around this time. :p

Diet looks good, but where are the carbs? ;)

[StlBarbie]

Woohoo! :D Good to have you back! I hope that you can stick around this time. :p

Diet looks good, but where are the carbs? ;)

And with THAT question ~~~~~~~~~ it's back to business as usual!!! LOL :D

You really didn't think things had changed THAT much did YOU??? :p

[angeleye]

Ha! you know my diet has always sucked! Carbs are like bad kissers to me. They make me run! Im always up for advice.......... Contest diet doesnt start for another 2 weeks, and Im litterally all over the place diet wise. Not to mention me girlfriends come over tomorrow and she has requested a chocolate surplus this week that Im trying to compensate with awful power bars!

[WannaBeModel]

Not to mention me girlfriends come over tomorrow and she has requested a chocolate surplus this week
:p Girlfriends are always good for that! Indulge in it, girl!

Carbs are good for energy and to get big. Take those post workout fats out and put in some carbs. Add some carbs in preworkout, too. And where is your post workout protein, missy?

[angeleye]

whats some of your favorites pre and post I mean?

[WannaBeModel]

I use oats, oat bran, sweet potato, fruit...lots of things. :) Usually a combo of oats, whey, and fruit. Sometimes oat bran, egg whites, and fruit. A little healthy fat is good preworkout, so you could have some fish oils or some natural PB there.

[angeleye]

help please!
my partner and I are at odds on romanian, and stiff leg deads, he thinks they both do the same thing but according to all documentation they are different. (its really because he hates to do them :>) some one with physical evidence help me PLEASE!!!!!

[angeleye]

Consider it revised - Ill do follow up on the results after a week!

[WannaBeModel]

help please!
my partner and I are at odds on romanian, and stiff leg deads, he thinks they both do the same thing but according to all documentation they are different. (its really because he hates to do them :>) some one with physical evidence help me PLEASE!!!!!
I think the only difference is the bend in the knee. They both hit the back and hamstrings. Tell your partner to suck it up and do the deadlifts! :D

Oh yea...carbs first thing in the AM, also. ;)

[angeleye]

Bad,Bad girl on tracking this weekend!!!! I think the idea of the intensity of record keeping the next 16 weeks encouraged either laziness or rebellion.
Didnt keep one single number. I treated it like I never lifted before. Ive got some aprehension about whats to come, maybe because this time flew by so fast. Its hard to believe I was doing this a year ago. Ive been searching for a detox. I do remember it playing a significant difference in my diet prep. However, I dont remember WHAT I DID!

I have been buying size 9 in womens(first time in my life) seems to work but waist is a little big. My quads have grown by leaps and bounds so I cant fit into half of my clothes. Hubby said wear skirts and you wont have that problem. I told him I like my jeans(I work in a very casual place to and mostly men so I get very self concisous with the gauking. I work in an office for a landscaping company so you know whjat I mean.

then couldnt sleep, went to sleep after S.I.T.C. 1AM is unheard of for me! I will probably have to rotate chest/bi's down a day. Got something to do!

Excited about this month and being "on point" as we say around here. Nothing like starting a second season with women around the world supporting and cheering you on.

Looking foward to all of the Super Bowl Events, it should be pretty exciting around here this weekend, not to mention its my favorite little girls birthday. She doesnt know it, but she is having the Worlds largest party at someone elses expense!

[WannaBeModel]

She doesnt know it, but she is having the Worlds largest party at someone elses expense!
Happy birthday to your little honey! :D

What are you guys doing for Superbowl. And you, miss, rest up! The flu stinks...we don't need you being sick. :)

[StlBarbie]

Hey ANGELEYE!! EW... the flu??? That is certainly not a great way to start your week ... how are you feeling today??

I LOVE the Victoria Secret jeans .... they fit my quads and my waist ... for me, finding quad room is always the most difficult ... and of course, who wants baggy a$$ pants??? Check out their website .. you may find something to your liking!!!

So do tell ... what are your plans for Superbowl Sunday??

BTW... we LOVE having you back!!! :)

[angeleye]

I have been in awe of "BIGDOG SUNSHINESLYN" incredible journal since May. She is insane in all the right ways. Needless to say, Ive got to step my game up. It makes me look like Ive been playing w/Barbie's since I left (Powells - YOUR STILL MY GIRL! :>)

[sillyvent]

[angeleye]

SV- what are you saying! I see right now, Im in big trouble coming down there! But thats OKAY I LOVE TROUBLE!!!!!! Lets just say In considering taking some extra days off to re-coup from this trip!

Kris and Powells - are you sure you guys cant knock off a couple of banks to get to us. Im gonna need back up.
I wasnt really feeling this SB thing at first. But then I realized its the perfect Milestone for Ty's 10th B-day. Although we arent actually getting in the game. There are millions of activies(most free or cheap for kids to do) Its pretty sad, well all be missing the $500 and up P-Diddy, Usher parties not to mention Em's party will probably have lines out the door because the tix were cheaper. But I'll live. Trust me when its all said in done, Ill probably have just as much fun for free.

Powells - which Vicky jeans, do you know, there are a couple of styles in this catalog? Kris, help me, I know your closet is probably on overflow, and I seen your hips????

[WannaBeModel]

Kris, help me, I know your closet is probably on overflow, and I seen your hips

Hahahahahahahahha I know, I know. I buy my jeans from Gap and Urban Outfitters. Gap has these new curvy jeans that are kinda low slung, wider in the hips and thighs, but still fit nice. These are my FAVORITE jeans...and you can catch them at a decent price.

[angeleye]

PERFECT - my sister in law works at the Gap!

[angeleye]

[lisa1021]

Thanks for stopping in my journal yesterday....I see you're from down there in the D.....gosh it looks crazy around there these days....what side of the city are you in?

When is your next show? I read your entire journal and I don't know if I missed it but I didn't see a date.....

[WannaBeModel]

LOL @ Cardio

No comment on that one, missy. These are the smilies. Just don't put any spaces between anything when you type them

:) : )
:D : D
:o : o

:rolleyes: : rolleyes :
;) ; )

That's all I'm allowed for now. hehe

[StlBarbie]

LMAO at that cardio comment!!! :D

We have not seen pics of your in forever .... hint,hint,hint ~~~~~~~~ :cool:

[Sunshineslynn]

oh and dont forget :eek: : eek : dont put the spaces though

Yeah pics please.......

[angeleye]

:) - ha! think I got it now.
Your guys are so sweet. Got a really spooky email Id like to send out. Please pm your emails. Your going to flip your wigs if you havent gotten it already.

Lisa - I probably was to chix to openly commit! The weekend of June Ill be at FAME WORLDS in toronto, and June 24th in Flint. Come down and scream for me :)

[angeleye]

Mood:silly as ever, so I guess all is normal-

sidebar: this mood thing is probably strange for some to read, but Im telling you, if you have any history of pms, you will grow to appreciate your body more when you keep track of your chem levels. I do much better in training and diet being aware of possible swings in attitude(not to mention it helps those in my environment as well!)

Meals:
m1: oats, 3 whites, 1 egg
m2: tuna, lettuce, onion
m3: mr bar
M4: chix, lettuce
m5:
Maneuvers: walking, walking,walking!
Maintaining: so here's the explanation........Me and my man child went to something called the "NFL EXPERIENCE" I cant put into words the type of fun we had, just know, I NOW LOVE FOOTBALL. It was held at our major convention center, and just to sum it up in 3 hours me and me son only did 1/4 of the events, activites, drills, picture taking, pro-athlete guaking, face painting that was available!!!!!!!!! Not to mention he participated in a clinic that litterally had him sitting on the floor, exhausted but totally overwhelmed with a new found love!!!

So today Ill pay the price, Gotta make up legs and its safe to say, sat am will be upper since I missed the other sets tuesday.......Love/Hate - Love the work, Hate the pain!

[StlBarbie]

HEY WILD THANG!!!! :p

We had the NFL Experience when we were in the Superbowl ... I had more fun than the kids!!!!!!!!!! LOL

HEY ... did you get any new jeans yet??

WHOA BABY .. do I ever hear you on the MOOD SWINGS ~~~~~~~ I just blame it on PMS ... everyday of the month!!! :p

HOPE YOU HAVE A KICK A$$ Weekend!!!

pics??? pics??? pics??? come on ~~~~ we won't SHOW anyone!! ;) :D

[WannaBeModel]

Page 3? I think not...

BUMP!

:D

[angeleye]

you must be talking about the email! who ever took the time "WRONG, JUST WRONG"

I, dont think I ever told this but those pix are the reason for this next entry....

...when I competed last year, my parents, both sets, started acting really funny, turned out that NONE OF THEM, wanted to see me in competition physical state! My dad admitted to my mom, he didnt want to see my reveal so much, my stepmom, had "spiritual reasons", and my mommie told me "I looked like a crack addict". Why am I admitting this now, I got some ULTRA(my favorite word!) DEEP pictures, that are without a doubt, the reason, most women run from any form of lifting. Although I have no idea if the pix had been altered, Im still uncomfortable with the fact that Ive seen in person, body altering(the nice way of putting it) in this state with my own 2 eyes.

Body Building to me is one of the most beautiful ways to display one's own physical knowledge of the human body and the human mystery. It also glorifies God's greatness in creating such an awesome entity: human physiology. I hope more people grow to respect what and why we do this. Its an awesome lifestyle to live!!!!

[terracotta]

WBM missed a smilie
:eek: : eek :

funny that you ask your q. in barb's journal because we all read it.. good idea..

I responded in there - basically that you should go to a doctor - and get sent to a physio.

don't wait around for possibly serious shoulder injuries to heal.

[angeleye]

OHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I HATE GOING TO THE DOCTOR..............IT SUCKS. I know, I just wanted you ladies to say Keep Pushing, the exact opposite of what they are probably going to say :(

[terracotta]

too bad! As someone who has permanant shoulder problems, I am recommending you get yourself to a doctor and get a physio appt. right away.. they will check for inflexibility and perhaps take x-rays.. I highly recommend not waiting on a shoulder injury.

[angeleye]

I know...................:(

Oh my gosh, that is so true.
I am sorry that your parents werent supportive...I would your step mom besides her "spiritual reasons" why else dosent she want you to compete?
~I dont understand the problem with Ultra Deep, what does that mean? And why would women shy away from it.

You did not look like a crack addict....sheesh. Thats just rude. I mean right then you are so vulnerable, and those comments just cut right through! You must be strong of will.

Yes, I agree, its a show of your knowledge of yourself too. I mean not every one can do this...I havent yet, but its worth a shot. Its like chemestry sort of...lol. Well it is! Its so exciting to do this!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Sorry to ramble....I just like how you think!!!
Keep up with that awesome attitude!!! It rocks!!

[StlBarbie]

Love your spirituality Angeleye!!! KUDOS TO YOU!!! :)

Now you woman ... quit messing with that shoulder ... even if you don't want to see a physician ... try a chiropractor ... they have given me some great help with my shoulder after breaking it ... that and adding external rotations to build it up have made a world of difference! I so hear ya on the pain in removing shirts etc ... but it doesn't have to be that way ........ get it taken care of now before it really becomes an ongoing problem! I have also had some great success with theraputic massage to the shoulder .... hope you get some relief and SOON!!!!

[angeleye]

Megs - Hi beautiful! Thank you for checking in on me. Im on catch up and still havent had time to post but Im reading you daily!

powells - thank you so much for the advice, I never even thought of the chiropr., we actually have one in our step class and I hear the is really good. How long were you down with your shoulder? I am in awe of what it must have taken to just get out of the bed sometimes cuz Im learning the hard way and I know mine isnt broken. The strange part is now the pain has increased down the side latteral. I couldnt even hold a 25# plate with both hands last night during abs.

Definitely talk to the chiropractor from step class. We can't have you out of the game again! What a sweet daughter you have. :) You've got to be proud of her. Most kids don't have that sort of compassion for other people until they are MUCH older.

Meals are looking better. I see carbs! :D YAY!!!

[StlBarbie]

Wow ... Angeleye ... sounds like you have done an awesome job at raising a very caring and compassionate daughter!!!

Girl ... reading about that shoulder brings back all sorts of memories ... however you can't really compare recovery time because I was totally out of commission with it for 6 months ... yes, hit the chiro ... he'll take some films, get a fix on exactly what is going on, and hopefully then will be able to assist you with a treatment plan ... DON'T hesitate another day with getting a good diagnosis and treatment ~~~~~~~ we want you on the road to recovery ~~~~~ NOT going the other way! In the mean time, have you tried some ibuprofen to relieve some of the inflammation???

Have a good one brik chick!!

Kris and Powells - are you sure you guys cant knock off a couple of banks to get to us. Im gonna need back up.

My head hurts now- I'm going back to bed


Happy Weursday


:D

[angeleye]

ha! Im probably just as nutty!
actually I am all over the place, Im going to re-arrange it in the future so its not soooooooooo crazy!

[arose70]

I hope I am in a fog too----1000 cals :eek:!?!?!? Are we working on this?! :D

[angeleye]

I know Im going down for this, yesterday was insane for me, and it was either nothing or pasta by the time I got home. Trust me this crap is going to cease, Im going back to the crock pot at night, I did fish well seasoned last night, and it took away the hum-drum/bland things crock pots sometimes do!

[WannaBeModel]

:mad:

And that's all I am going to say about that!

Hmmm...you should make some protein muffins to pack on the go. Or some whey and oats in a baggie. PB and celery works well, too. A baked sweet potato, cooled and sliced and stored in a baggie.

How did you enjoy the fish?

[arose70]

Good! That's awesome-crockpots can be lifesavers!!

[serinebean]

*ahem*
Whats this 1000 cal I see?
Gotta feed the bod miss....it gets you where you are going in your hectic days! *you have some crazy days it seems*

[angeleye]

THE FISH ~ OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! Im out of control, I bet its hard watching such a feminine chik eating with her finger tips so she doesnt miss the pieces fall of the fork!

Cooked in: a olive oil laced pan with lemon juice, basil, dill, garlic, onion powder and two shakes of cracked pepper, yummmmmmmmie!

[StlBarbie]

GOOD MORNING BRIK CHICK!!! :)

Why the anxious mood with the dental appointment cancelled???
I'd be doing HAPPY DANCES on the table top!!! :p

Okay .. so fill me in ... committed to 'an ace date'? Are you taking the pt test??

Have a great one woman!! :)

[angeleye]

Actually all the anxiety went away when they cancelled. Not that Im scared for dear life like i used to be, but yestersday was not good for my schedule.

I need to be held accountable in taking this test. Ive wanted to do it for over a year now, but Ive always let other thing or another get in the way. My love for this environment has made me assess my current work ethic. Im a true believer that if you seek deep enough you be able to find a career that satisfies the physical as well as the spiritual! So as we speak Im looking at various programs in Nutrition as well as Physical Fitness that are available on local campuses.

[angeleye]

Happy Monday Everybody!
I had a really good weekend and all was accomplished that needed to be. It started off with a well balanced wko on Friday. Step warm up, light weight powerflex, and concentrated ab work. I ended the evening working on a portion of our couples routine. Fun, but didnt get a solid structure yet.
Sat took the kids to a medical workshop, where they learned about nutrition and where Babies come from amd that was extremely fun! Sundays wko improved drasticly, I actually was able to work at 95%. I did all 100 push ups which is a far cry from wednesday awesome 16. Although most (set/work) started with a little pinch, by the 3rd rep it disappered. I also incorporated more stretching in and that helped as well.
Today is chiropractor/doctor. I have two appts. and trying to figure out which will be more beneficial.

Oh BTW, got measurements, no pix, but Im waiting for my co-conspiritor!

[WannaBeModel]

You have to take care of you to take care of others, its not selfish. Once rested...the rest wont seem so hard. You are such a sweet hearted strong woman...remember that. You do have time to get it right, we only get this one spin around in life...so enjoy it! Do your best, what else can you do?

Nice workout! :eek: That's amazing considering you didn't eat preworkout. *holds tongue on that one*

Oooohh...cake. What kind of cake? With whipped cream and bananas? *drool* Do tell! :D

[angeleye]

okay, our secret though, promise ;) - for valentines day I bought the kids a strawberry/vanilla layed cake. (Kiddie size) I actually just took a small sliver(and Im being honest) and crumbled it on top of the banana. It was good, considering it was next to the triple choco cake, dunkin donuts, and the Whittman's samplers my dad bought for valentines day. Being at home has truly made a courageous woman out of me! Some days its sooooooooo hard to live amongst the bad habits. i.e., my father cooking late(after 11pm), sweets in every room in the house, my step moms potatoe chip addiction, my dads idea of a staple being sugar free vanilla ice cream, and of course the idea that bread and butter go with every meal. ITS KILLING MY KIDS, THEY ARE TOTALLY CONFUSED. They have fallen in love with toast!
I promise pix tonight - I promise!

Maybe calling 'her' SLACKER will bring her out of hiding!!! :D:D:D

[sillyvent]

You are so hot.... :D

[angeleye]

AHHHHHHHHHHH! Im done with the worlds most boring 2 day training. Im totally out of sync. Meals and rest. Im taking today to pull together my stats for the last couple of days.
By fluke I ended up at my NEW consultant on Saturday. I wasnt supposed to see him until THIS FRIDAY, but I have to train at a conference this weekend. I have my official CONTEST DIET - SO YOU KNOW MY EXCITEMENT IS OFF THE CHAINS!!!!! We worked over the training schedule and decreased the sets(as expected) and basicly set the new transformation goals. Concerns about the length of the diet, bf%, and LEGS were my key problem areas, and he addressed them all with great confidence that things are going to be much more success this time. Not to mention, my knowledge base of what MY BODY is capable of is far more the wiser!- Most importantly, $$$$$$ will be used in the appropriate areas at the APPROPRIATE TIMES. Lots of $$ went to waste last year on things I just didnt need at certain times. I so excited to be in the hands of someone I can trust. I got burnt on the last run, and I promised him I would SEEK, KILL OR DESTROY him if he left me out to dry. Considering my size in comparison to him: I think he thought that was cute :>

I got major new data to plug, be back in a minute......

btw, are any of your other ladies being girly like me looking for really CUTE sweats and gymies FOR THE ARNOLD................hey I dont get out often so Ive officially made this the venue "that I have to have SWEET GYM SHOES FOR!" IM SUCH A GIRLY GIRL!

This usually makes me face my progress "head on" if you know what I mean. Im closing the era of beating up on myself, and moving foward into praise for my works, which I know only from this great powere within!
Dont forget, push and press me, " I think Im like Olive Oil" :>

Last post - WEDNESDAY (no points on this one

MOOD:Wonderful, and although I would like to say it is some result of my effort - I must put in perspective that Ive committed to a praise and worship cd ("Throne Room" - CeCe Winans) and it has made a tremendous change in my life. My level of peace has intensified, my temperment has mellowed, and last but not least my consistency in these areas have improved by 100%. Im really excited to see some changes - almost more than in my body.

Now here's the skinny on the training: Ive only lost 2#'s after being on this diet for over 1 month. Very interesting to say the least. Some key factors Im trying to remember: although I wasnt cutting before, outside of the occasional loss of control, my diet was pretty decent, and the other factor, Im still busting out of my jeans at the thigh. Now here's to praying that all that heavy lifting will go to justice! :)
Soooooooooo all that being said, Im going to continue to roll with Animal Pakfor training and here we go................

[Sunshineslynn]

dont stress over numbers because it can make it worse. Now question for ya what is your diet exactly? That could clue you in. It did me I did not realize I was eating sooooo much even though it was clean. My trainer looked at it and said its hard to come out of bulking sometimes. And your cardio what are your doing?

I am so glad to see you back!!!

[angeleye]

Hi you! How have you been? My reading has been horrible, I actually have work to do now when I come :(

[Sunshineslynn]

Okay here is what I have learned recently...
Eat Bananas only after post workout due to insuline spikes. Keep fruit like apples, cataloupe, papaya (I will have to look up the others.) Your fats are pretty high too esp. sat. fat. Maybe sub those strawberries for a different carb like brown rice, or ligumes. Your protien intake is pretty high to but that could be from not substracting the foods that are not whole protiens. Like when you eat certain carbs they have protien but not whole protien and you can not count that towards your protien count. What weight are you wanting to get to? What is your heart rate during cardio?

Sorry so many questions just trying to help you out the best I know.

Smiles
s

[angeleye]

I dont have a weight goal, last time I went to 120 and It didnt even look healthy, Im thinking 125.
Heart rate Ill is somewhere around 185/190 according to the monitor, not my count.

[Sunshineslynn]

I dont have a weight goal, last time I went to 120 and It didnt even look healthy, Im thinking 125.
Heart rate Ill is somewhere around 185/190 according to the monitor, not my count.

Okay that is great. Now for the heart rate at 60 mins at that high you are building cardiovascular and endurance. So with that said try doing it moderate pace around 136-140 hrt (which is great for dipping into the fat stores to use it as fuel and not the muscle.) Try lowering the cardio to 45mins at a steady hrt. From what I have been learning that is a good way to insure your not burning muscles especially if your doing cardio for only 45min. I am also a true believer in HIIT but I am trying this for now and I am seeing pretty good results. Now when I get stumped on loosing I will add in a HIIT session.

Smiles

[angeleye]

I love it and Im listening and doing, got some stuff I want to run by you when I get home later if you dont mind??

K, No problem.

LOOK AT THOSE CALS!!!!!!!!! AND look at that WO!!!!!!!!!
Lifting for the Lord is serving you well woman!!!!!!!!:)
GREAT JOB!!!!!

Hope you have a tremendous weekend!!!!!!!!! :)

[Sunshineslynn]

Looks like you had a great workout. And everytime you think about cheating remind yourself you will never get to your goal. What are you craving? If its sweets then I would up the carbs and lower the fat some. I say that because that is my problem I crave sweets so I am on a 35pro/50carb/15fats. So far I am seeing that I dont crave the sweets.

Smiles
s

[angeleye]

Your so on point. I just have that stupid carb fear :( I did however eat a rice cake yesterday when I got to where I couldnt take it anymore. Any recommendations on what type of carb. I know that you give me a reference yesterday about the strawberries.....

[Sunshineslynn]

I have my list of carbs at the house so I will post that for you later.

Smiles
s

[angeleye]

Thank You Maam!

[angeleye]

Well as usual the weekend had its usual challenges. The freedom and access to the foods I wouldnt normally eat proved to intice me. I think the key is change. The repetition gets to me and I start to crave things out of the norm. I ended up working this weekend so hence the evidence to me not posting in a couple of days :)

Monday
MOOD:ready to work out!

MEALS:pretty much on point, supposed high carb day, but sundays fall to extra veggies made it hard to reconcile
fitday total: none

MANEUVERS:45 cardio, 60 circuit weight training

sunday - regular circuit weight training(no back training new routine starts this week.
saturday -15 min HIIT (my first time this season: *for me - 2min/lvl4, 1m/l9, 2m/l4, 2m/l9, 2m/l5, 3m/l9, 2m
shoulders(most work seated, much harder than what Im accustomed to), off to work, then family pictures

friday - 45 min cardio (off to girl scout banquet,
MAINTAINING:the weekend - the worlds hardest 2nd job when you have children :)

[Sunshineslynn]

Okay here ya go as promised a list of foods that you can eat so you dont have to worry

grains
Cereals: Other
All bran extra fiber Whole wheat pasta
Bran bud plus psylium Corn
Hi Low Yams
Kashi
Kashi Go Lean Breads
Whole wheat/whole rye
Hot Cereal Pita
Barley Pumpernickel
Bulgur Sourdough
Slow cooked oats Stone ground wheat
Buck Wheat Orowheat whole wheat lite

Rice: Legumes:
Long gran Basmati (ymmmmy) Lentils
Uncle Ben's converted brown Black/pinto beans
Kidney/navy/garbanzo beans

Vegetables
Broccoli, Collard/mustard greens, sprouts, lettuce, spinach, peppers, peas, cabbage, asparagus, onions, cucumber, muschrooms, soybeans, califlower

Fruits
Apples, Apricots, Peaches, Nectarines, Pears, Cantaloupe.

Avoid or minimize bananas, pineapple, raisins, grapes and watermelon.

Complete Protein Meat
Ground turkey extra lean, boneless skinless chicken breast, *beef eye of round *flank steak, *top round **with all visible fat removed, Bison/Venison steaks, Ostrich, Low fat lunchean meats the least processed the better, all fish especially cold water fish.(you can buy buffalo at most whole food stores which is ideal meat actually better than chicken.)
Other complete Protiens
egg whites or non-fat egg substitute, PP, nf milk, nf cottage cheese, nf cheese, dannon or yoplait lite yogurt, low fat tofu

Complete proteins contain all of the essential amino acids. These come from animal sources. Incomplete proteins are lacking one or mre of the essential amino acids. These come from plant sources. Incmomplete proteins will not be counted as part of your protein requirement. The body needs all of the essential amino acids present at one time to be able to synthesize them. Calories from incomplete proteins (except those from fat) should be considereed carbohydrate claories because they will most likely be converted to cab in the body. If you wish to minimize your animal proteins you must use complimentary proteins which are a combination of imcomplete proteins from different groups to form a complete protein. the groups you must combine are grains, legumes, seeds and nuts, vegetables.

Okay that is alot to take in but will give you some more choices to avoid the binging..

TUESDAY
MOOD:MELLOW

MEALS:AWESOME AND ON POINT until my last meal (oh boy) - got really thirsty on sunday on the way home from dance, sooooooooooo, i decided one slice of orange from the kids snack bag wouldnt hurt until I could get my hands on some water, WELL AHH, HOW FOOLISH WAS THAT! Alergy kicked in - NOW mouth sore from Hades! And did I mention I had to take a pain reliever to eat last night. Oh yeah probably didnt, because you would know I took the wrong kind :) Its official, VICODIN is not for punks! And now 12 hours later..............Im still WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!! Help me! :D


MANEUVERS:BIG FUN, BIG PAIN - NEW CHEST/DELTS
(because we hadnt looked at the schedule prior we didnt realize on Sat when we did shoulders that they would fall again today, not to mention you do this 2x a week on this routine. So chest only last night:

• DECL. Smith Presses: 2/12@40
• Flat Hammer Presses: 2/25@30 2/25@25
• Incline DB Flyes: 1/20@15 1/@15 1/15@15
next week would include:
Front/Side Delts
• Seated DB Presses: 1 Set x 25 Reps
• Reverse EZ Bar Presses: 1 Set To FAIL
• Seated DB Side Laterals: To FAIL


MAINTAINING: groovy scooby, things are coming together. Going to see consultant on Friday, Sups and thermo begin, diet changes :)

[WannaBeModel]

Looking good, girlie! :D

[Boots]

:)HAPPY EASTER!!!!:)

[angeleye]

SO IVE BEEN CHILLIN! Havent documented since thursday but Ive been a good girl. Unforunately I dont have my log on me, but It looked something like:
thurs: legs
fri: cardio, and abs
sat: ??? I give up, I think its the low carb thing!
Sunday- church

Monday - new diet :)
lost workout on sunday, REAL STRONG ATTEMPT TO DO IT AFTER CLASS - both of us just crashed and burned :(
back:
• Dead Lifts: 3 Sets x 10 Reps@135
• DB Rows: 3 Sets x 10 Reps@35
• Lat Pulldown: 3 Sets x 10 Reps@50
• Rear Delt lift: 2 Sets x 12 Reps@15
needless to say, heres what I was supposed to do in addition:
• Barbell Shrugs: 3 Sets x 12 Reps
• DB Shrugs: 3 Sets x 12 Reps
• Upright Rows: 3 Sets x 12 Reps

Went to see the consultant on sat. Diet changed a tad, not much however and Ive started 7 keto and L-Carnitine. Interestingly enough, I felt a huge difference in my activity level, my mood and my endurance during my workout.
Scale changed by three, but we all know that doesnt mean anything. Posing sucks for me, I dont have a solid grip on. However, Ive noticed that my confidence level plays a huge part in it. I know the more I practice the better Ill get, so here goes the NEWEST committment: 4:30-5:30a practice practice practice. Hopefully this will get my but in gear!

[Miranda]

Eat Bananas only after post workout due to insuline spikes.

i don't mean to confuse anyone but fructose (fruit) doesn't cause insulin spikes. it is a slow-digesting sugar.

*waves* hi angeleye :)

[StlBarbie]

Hey AMBER!!!!!!!:)
How was your Easter service???????????
MINE ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!! It was so............. inspirational!!

Keep up that great liftin' for the LORD BRICK CHICK!!!!!!!!!!!:)

pics?? pics?? pics??? :p

[angeleye]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! No pictures please - Im toooo shy :eek:
yesterday was so beautiful work was not my main focus needless to say, all I could wonder about was was I going to do afterwards!
I LOVE MY NEW SUPPLEMENTS - I am literally a breath of fresh air.(how cocky is that?) My mood and energy is so positive but even better than that, its girl time, and not a hint of the emotional tornado Im accustomed to becoming.
workout still a day off but as for my diet - IT WAS ON! but my ratios are pretty high, really need to talk to V.I.P. Fitness today, seems like my cals would be a little lower :(

Looking forward to chest today:
Chest
• DECL. Smith Presses: 2 Sets x 12 Reps
• Flat Hammer Presses: 4 Sets x 25 Reps
• Incline DB Flyes: 3 Sets To FAIL
Front/Side Delts
• Seated DB Presses: 1 Set x 25 Reps
• Reverse EZ Bar Presses: 1 Set To FAIL
• Seated DB Side Laterals: To FAIL

and my favorite - kickboxing!

Okay not to start a war here but here is some interesting facts about fruit fructose. It is by far not slow digesting sugar. Please see below

FINALLY!
Im out of training and back to work. Hate I havent had time to post because its been a really successful week for me. Everything has been on point(especially my diet) I actually go to 2 clubs and both scales show a 3 lb drop, however, I just look and feel a whole lot leaner. Ive been focused and have had quality workouts. My cardio days have been productive since Ive modified them per "Sunshine" I actually feel a difference post workout ;)
Last post on Friday so here's the short of it all.
everything flowed and was done for form!
Sat: clean up day for chest
Sunday: Back/cardio add in: lunges for balance of leg routine
Monday: Step/circuit
Tues: Chest/delts/posing(side chest sucks but in the making - still cramping
Wed: 15min each: efx(lvl7-10), elliptical(lvl 10), tread(grad up to lvl 4 incl 4.5,random) then wet area(for soreness prevention - it worked!)
My favorite tonight: Legs

[yourfaveandmine]

Hi Angeleye! I'm stalking you from Kris's journal!!! Haha. We are DETROIT buddies :D

I am Kristin, by the way ... as if anyone wouldn't figure that out from my signature :rolleyes:

[angeleye]

OKAY THATS TOO CUTE!
How ya doing today?

[yourfaveandmine]

I'm pretty good :) How are you?

[angeleye]

Ill go to your journal, but where do you work out at?

[WannaBeModel]

She's bbbaaaaaaaaaccccccckkkk! :D

It's so good to hear that things are going well! How is your body progressing? Layoffs...yuck. Are you safe? How is the morale at work?

[angeleye]

everything is looking good. I used to be obsessed about my thighs but those days are over, I know they come either geneticly or over extensive work. Everything else is smooth sailing, I must say I love obliques, there a motivation of their own.

Work is weird, its obvious change is on the horizion, some are dealing with it calmly, and others in denial. Im taking it as the next path God would have me to walk. This is going to sound flaky, but Im like your date, not really sure of the right steps to go with. Teaching is my passion and Ive always had the desire to do so on a college level, just how to I begin, where and when are the next batch of questions........

[yourfaveandmine]

I go to the YMCA in Southgate. I'm a student at Wayne State, though, and I'm planning on checking out their facilities sometime this month since I already am forced to pay for it with my tuition. I've heard it's very nice there.

What about you?

[angeleye]

Ive actually used them quite some time ago. Its a real cool feel over there. I just happen to be a big fan of the track!~

[yourfaveandmine]

I love their track too! I love spying down on the people playing basketball when you run by the downstairs gym.

I read you're interesting in teaching. That's what I'm back in school for right now. I have a BA in prelaw/poly-sci, so I'm getting a MAT (master's in the art of teaching) from WSU to teach high school English. After that, I'll also be qualified to teach at some community colleges because they'll usually take anyone with a master's. I want to do that too, maybe later on in life. If you have any questions or anything about how I got started going back to school or the profession/opportunities in MI, don't hesitate to ask me. :)

Have a great day!

[Sunshineslynn]

Very good Angeleye on the lose. Keep those spirits up and know you can do this.

Hi Angeleye!!!
Track work? Love it !

How are YOU doing? Wow, its great to see you updating this journal!
And to be honest - girl, you would make a hell of a teacher (or professor on the college level) I have learned a LOT from you, and you have the patience to teach.

If it would really make you happy, why not look into it?


Glad you are well


:)

THURS 4.27.06
Im am on fire after reading the comments in my journal. It usually takes anothers observation to help you listen closer to your heart! - big thanks MEGIN!!!!!
Hey sunny - hope all is well with you as well, as you can see in my spirit, my bible study has really been paying off!

yourfaveandmine - Ive got big questions for ya?????? Im so ready to teach Im busting out of my skin, I ran a daycare for almost 7 years and miss the learning environment.


THURSDAY
MOOD:
Moderate, feeling like working out(as usual)
MEALS:
on point, ate later, but was full most of the day.
MANEUVERS:gams
leg exten.: 1*40@65

[StlBarbie]

God is AWESOME and life itself is GREAT!! :)
So glad to see you are embracing it all!!!!
Have a great weekend Amber!!!!:)

[yourfaveandmine]

You should go for it!!! Like I said, I go to Wayne State. All of my classes are evening or weekend, and there's a wide age spread. I went very much part time the first 3 years (averaging one class/semester) ... next year, I'll take more, and it will be my last year (*knock on wood*)

Baker College in Allen Park is where my boyfriend goes for business, but he's told me they have an education program that offers a lot of online and evening courses.

If you already have a bachelor's degree, all you need to do is pursue teacher certification, but they recommend going into a master's program so the credits apply towards a degree. You can get financial aid that way, and once you get certified, you'll just have 2 more classes before you have a master's and thus a mandatory raise if you work for a public school.

I definitely say pursue your passion. The more classes I'e taken, the more excited I get to teach :)

[angeleye]

This advice is better than any advisor has every given :) thank you VERY MUCH!

BACK TO BASICS
The weekend was awesome for me, I got so much work done, that Im amazed I hadnt attempted some of those chores earlier.....lots of work around the house and seeing that Ive finally gave in to an agent, it will probably be to the benefit of all involved.

Ill spare the details of the weekend workout to say by Sunday, I had all the symptoms of someone who hadnt rested in 3 days. So I gave in and SAT STILL, no weights and no dance.

Monday at 4am my daughter had full blown flu symtoms, needless to say, a day of work at home. No training Monday either.........

Just in catching up. No workout yesterday, my dads surprise birthday party. All workouts will be shifted over one day. Seeing that Im off sat-mon, it makes for really boring entries over the weekends:< oh well Im going off to be nosey>

[angeleye]

Absolutely Hilarious! BB.com lets you keep your journal even if you fall off an unbelievable amount of time. Amazing! The word loser seems to fall short of what Im thinking. Thank God I have the spirtit of tenacity. I will never quit, I want a healthy life as bad as I want life itself. Not to mention I want to be super lean doing it! Okay Im here again! Game plan in creation, and totally lost to all the new things going on around here. But all things in "moderation" Ill be on point shortly!

[Megin]

Wow!!
