Could I get some critiques?

[mountain_drew]

It seems like good food choices but timing could be better. The bulk of your carbs should go PWO, a little bit PRE and some in the morning.
Not sure what the macro breakdown is though.

[h@rdc0re]

Thank You Mountain Drew

[twinnett]

How does 2 eggs and 2 slices of bread = 700 calories? I just want to make sure you're not overestimating what you're eating Ashley.

[spirit3530]

true indeed. Btw Ashley you already have 50 pages of us telling you what to do. How much to eat, how much cardio you need, what time to workout pretty much every question you can ask related to training and diet at this stage/expereince level. Now its up to you to do it.

All I am in for now is consistentcy (no less than 4 months of solid diet and training posts), untill then I pretty much don't have anything else to add.

[h@rdc0re]

Okay, thank you And Tara, I had cheese, olive oil and ham in my omlette, thats why heeh

[twinnett]

[big_gary]

[Miranda]

why do you say you ate 2,300 if a child can see it's only 1,770?

[h@rdc0re]

It must have copy and pasted by accident when I didnt get to eat the 5th meal cause I wasnt hungry

[h@rdc0re]

I did my weigh in today =)

5"6 and 122 lbs !!

Progress!!

[twinnett]

Very good to hear Ashley. I'm proud of you and even happier that YOU'RE proud of it!

[ubermumma]

I did my weigh in today =)

5"6 and 122 lbs !!

Progress!!

FANTASTIC Ash, keep at it. Now go treat yourself to some yummy easter eggs !

[h@rdc0re]

Thanks Ladies I was VERY nervous stepping on the scale but my boxing coach told me that that is the only way (besides testing body fat) To really know where your at and if your adding muscle and he told me the best looking, healthy fitness women weigh a good 135-160 lbs depending on their height and for me, 130-135 lbs is ideal. So I wasnt so upset and considering that I still weighed the 2nd least in the group of girls in the class, And none were fat. Its much better to look and feel healthy than to be depriving yourself all the time and looking and feeling crappy!

I have gotten so many positive responses from people at my gym, And its feeling so great! Thanks girls, I will write my diet out for tomorrow, tonight =)

I ate a lot more than usual today because I was on my feet all day and I mean ALL DAY!

I did 1 hour and a half of boxing. I did about 90 min of walking because I had so many errands to run I did 30 minutes weightlifting burning over 1,000 calories in activity alone.

So how do my calories look ???

Tomorrow is my off day, Might do cardio, might not. Should I still eat 2,500 calories

[twinnett]

You did TONS of cardio yesterday, so I say rest today and still keep calories around 2500!

[h@rdc0re]

I know lol, I was soo tired too !! Boxing makes me so tired. Okay thanks Tara, =)

[fish153]

Don't overdo the cardio. Remember, that is detrimental to achieving your goals.
