16 Yr. Old, Miss Corys Training Journal!

[cocopuffs]

Okay! Hi everyone..i'm Cory, i'm 16.. 17 in a few months(haha if it makes a difference), and I am 5'6!
I always feel better when I can write out how i felt on certain days where i had a good workout or not. Or if i was stressed and if that affected my cravings, weight and so on..

So I have a trainer and i've had her for the past 4 months, she is amazing. I knew a lot before I started working with her but its like a re-assurance thing I like to have by my side. She's taught me so much more and once i'm 18 I plan on getting certified and working with her and her clients!

I weighed 127 back in June when I started with her.. I was able to get down to 119 and I was looking great, rounded shoulders, biceps and triceps developing perfectly, my core was outlining and my legs had definition. I was planning on competeing in Figure on Dec 1. But then I hit rock bottom with stress and just family problems and dropped down to 113 and lost a lot of lean muscle and I was looking frail.. my trainer is my mentor, I love her to death. We share everything and i'm so lucky to have her in my life because she helped me kick my self in the face and realize that I was developing a eating disorder.. I took my stresses out by not eating enough as a way to control. It was something I didnt even realize I was really doing until she talked to me about it..
She has been trying to get my weight to be at 120..
but i'm still kinda stubborn and love my cardio and i'm back at 118.
I hope to compete in March and that gives me lots of time to really form my self into something.


Meal 1-
1 cup of uncooked oats
4 egg whites

Meal 2-
Apple
Pouch of Tune in water(those snack ones)

Meal 3-
130 grams of a yam
or 1/2 cup brown rice
4 oz. chicken breast

Meal 4-
Protein Shake..(called a Ripped and Wired)
2 Scoops of Chocolate Protein
1 Scoop of Mocha Powder
1 Tbsp of Peanut Butter
Shot of Espresso =]
and iiiicee baby.. soo good(the juice bar at Golds Gym makes it for me.. trust me i've disected it and read the labels of the products they use, so I know what i'm drinking. It comes out to 20 grams of carbs, around 320 cals, 8-9 grams of fat, and not over 10 grams of sugar.)

Meal 5-
6 oz Chicken Breast
and then VEGGIES!!(I usually chop up a full head of lettuce and make a chicken salad with vinigar, and then have some broccoli or zuchinni.. I feel so full and satisfied, I love it)

Thats my diet.. questions, opinions?

Im eating around 1400 calories..
I take my multi-vitamin, calcium, potassium and fish-oil pills everyday.
I cant live without my crystal lite!! or splenda!!

I work out with weights 6 days a week..
Cardio I try to do at least 5 days a week..usually 6 though, I know too much huh? I always just do 30 min.

Please be careful w/ competing if you have a history of disordered eating! It can really mess with your head! I will tell you that you will need to gain some serious muscle to be able to compete! Just think, if you're 118 and diet down for a comp, you'll be skin and bones! I've gone through the same thing, if you want to check out my journal. A little over a year ago, I was around 110# and I now realize how much muscle I'm going to need in order to compete!

Cory-- Hey girl! I agree with what Tara is saying. You are pretty tiny, 5'6 and 118; I am 6 inches shorter than you and only a few pounds lighter--and I think I am pretty small myself! I would definitely suggest to put on some mass before you try to cut down for a competition. You'll be healthier in the long run, and happier with the way you look.

That being said, eat clean foods, just eat more of them. 1400 calories is probably fat loss mode for your body and you're going to have a tough time sustaining weight at that.

I don't want to discourage you from being healthy. Many of us have had a history of eating disoders on here. Myself included. I know that no matter how healthy I am, those those processes can come back to haunt you because we are used to having that control. Just be honest with yourself and visit us often

Welcome and we're here for ya!

Thanks everyone..
yes I know how the control thing goes when you have a past with using the control way from what you eat when you are stressed..if that made sense.. i know its easy for people with a history of this to relapse back into it. I'm doing my best and still trying to gain..

Thursday I worked with my trainer we did back and biceps..
I already forgot exactly what we did.. I should have posted it yesterday or thursday night but I couldn't find the time!
I just did 20 min. of cardio that day by walking on a incline.

Yesterday, Friday..

Upright rows 2x12-15, weight up each time.
Dumbell Seated Rear Lateral Raise 2x12-15, weight up each time.
