GGGGgggggRRRRRRRrrrrrrr
I'm still doin my own head in
Bought in dairy free supplies last night. The health food store wasn’t open when I got back so I couldn’t get soya protein powder, so I’ve gone with a lot of soya mince as my protein. It’s fairly flavourless so you can add it to loads of things, plus it’s cheap n easy. Even had it in my musli this am! Breakii: 50g musli with 100g soya mince
Am: homemade houmous with soya mince + veggies to dip
Lunch: Soup with soya mince (will get chkn)
Avo: homemade houmous with soya mince + veggies to dip
PM: meat/ fish + veggies
So really I’ve just swapped the cottage cheese obsession with a soya mince obsession!??!
I just don’t get not obsessing with food and cals.
My tummy was quite sore a couple of times today, prob the pepper I was dipping in houmous, but I chose yellow rather than green as the least likely to cause gut probs?!?
Now I’m paranoid that I’m doomed cos aren’t all the foods that BBers need to/ are able to eat lots of wind inducing?!!?

Gonna google loads of food and see if I can find the veggies least likely to induce gas.
Cos doesn't fruit ferment in your gut, so that's gonna bloat me too?!!?

Oh no, you're not having much fun at the moment are you *hugs*

Is it worth seeing a nutritionist to get your food sorted ? That's one less thing to worry about then x

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 09 December 2009 21:51
Maybe.
James's HIPACC book could be a cheaper alternative?
I'll soldier on thru x-mas, cos that is not the time to try to implement new eating regimes, however saint-like I think I'm gonna be and then if I can't string a good month together in Jan, I'll have to have a serious re-think, maybe this isn't for me, not just yet.
But that's a defeatist attitude and not one that's gonna get me on stage next year.
Oooo ignore me it's just hormones, but I should prob see doc about them too!

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 09 December 2009 22:01
May well be worth getting the book first off and see how you get on.

I can only speak from my own experience but I had been really struggling with the diet until I went to see James.

I was ending up listening to snippets of advice, stringing them together and not actually getting anywhere or trying to do stuff which didn't fit in with my lifestyle

You CAN do this, you just need to turn a little corner and you'll be on your way.... you just need to find what works for you x

Everyone does this at first... Anyone can find a diet to suit them if they take this method!!! Only prob is, it won't work! So, overall, paying out for a nutritionist/guru whatever you want to call them, is probably a cheaper alternative to buying faddy foods/paying for online bits and pieces/books etc in the long run.

Lots of vegetarian bodybuilders live off soya, Ian Duckett is one who I know uses soya in his contest prep, you might wanna speak to him.

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 15 December 2009 22:57
Hey girls, sorry I haven't been around, well I have but... thnx for popping in.
Yeh, I must see doc soon.
But she won't put me back on microgynon (oestrogen)as BMI's too high, but progestrone pill's NOT suiting me. But she'll only give me another progestrone option; coil or implant. So dunno wot to do, besides losing weight to get BMI down, which does need to be done. Maybe the coil/ implant realease differently into blood stream which might suit better?
Thinking all the soya mince I'm replacing whey with should help increase oestrogen also? Maybe not significatly enough.
Been playing with diet see what dairy free options are tasty that I might stick to in new year. But, to not beat around the bush, do I ever?! My wind is still REALLY bad! But I just swapped diary for high fibre so body prob still doesn't know wot the F...'s going on!??!
But think a good months stab at it in new year could be worth a shot b4 I ask doc for dietricien, who am I trying to kid, me stick to a diet for a whole month?!!? We'll see eh.
Research into lactose intolerance seems to suggest that small amounts of higher fat diary products are tolerated more cos of fat 'protecting' gut from lactose?
Finished work on Thurs untill 4th Jan and off to Tenerife Tues for x-mas for a week, woohoo!

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 15 December 2009 23:15
I think you need to prioritise, if you really believe diet has to change to help with gynae issues, sort that first. Personally, I'd just see the doctor, or WellWoman Clinic (see Chrissie, I DO listen!)

I used to be on Microgynon, but as years passed and moods/PMT got worse, I don't get on with it now. Just been put on a Progesterone Pill which is helping (thus far). If you want the right pill and it's BMI dependent, work at getting the weight off, surely that's motivation enough?

Have a fab holiday! Tenerife is lovely! Are you skiing?

No, not enough snow in Tenerife. Maybe a little up mount Tiede but not a enough to ski. Sun tce, jacuzzi and chillin for us.

Mirena all the way ;-)

Really? I had discussed this posibility with Doc as I had a primitive IUD years ago and was soOo painful each month. But just googled this and it sounds like the holy grail! AND the hormone in it is similar to Microgynon? But a lower dose dispensed. Gonna call docs to check they do this one, although will have to wait till next month to get fitted. Have had couple of girlfriends say that of all the hormone contraceptives this was the one that affected their wieght the least. Not that that's what's causing me not to lose, we all know I'm crap at dieting!

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 16 December 2009 13:41
Thinking for New Year:
Mon - Quads + 30mins cardio
Tues - Chest + 30mins cardio
Wed  - Back + 30mins cardio
Thurs - Hams + Glutes + 30mins cardio
Fri - Arms + Shoulders + 30mins cardio
+ I do 20mins cardio each am
Then I could do cardio sat &/or sun
Splitting weights up means I can do a bit of cardio each evening rather than alternating weights/ cardio evenings. Which also means I do an extra 30mins in a week. Plus can then do cardio Sat &/or Sun as won't be needing to rest legs/ do legs of a w/e and will be able to help Mark with his Great North Run training.
Not sure what leg excercises to do tho:
Leg ext & leg curl are obvious
Where do squat and leg press fall?
Hypers = glute/ham
Lunges = glute/ham?
Malika's butt busters, may try to get up and do these each am with some abs.

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 16 December 2009 15:30
Lunges either quads or hams, I'd say prob best on Ham day tbh...

Squat generally = Quads
Leg press ditto but if feet are high and wide then glutes/hams...

1 piece of advice is that I do Heavy Legs Mon and lighter 'bits' on Fri, and my legs are often still aching on the Friday, so Thurs might not give enough rest time, depends how much you suffer with DOMS.

Fi......I highly rec. a trial at it......  GET IT DONE WOMAN!!!!

As for the butt busters.......I do them of an evening....I knock out sets each time I wait for the kettle to boil in the kitchen!! By the end of the evening...I've done LOADS!!! Of course, this helps if you have an addiction to Redbush tea...

Was just asking as I didn't know whether the plan on Day 1 was THE plan so to speak...
 
And YES cheese would be saturated!
 
EFA's are actually really important for weight loss, make sure you are getting them in :-)
 
Raring to go for Week 2? Go get 'em!

Meal 2 - 100g moroccan cous cous with 100g soya mince
Meal 3 - Covent Garden Tomato soup with 100g soya mince
Meal 4 - Rib eye steak with 4 roast potatoes, flat mushrooms + 2 pancakes with bluberries, blackberries and honey.

Meal 3 - Covent Garden Tomato soup with 75g soya mince
Meal 4 - 120g bakes salmon, 4 roast potatoes, stirfry veg + asparagus
Meal 5: Alpro Soya choc dessert with 100g soya mince
Quite chuffed that I've managed to stick to diet this w/e bar a couple of treats. But psycologically I feel in control. No alcohol, not going to have any untill a planned w/e away in Feb. Mark has really helped by taking charge of the potato products or else I would have had more than 4 roasties, and we didn't need them, perfectly sated with 4.
Really enjoyed the pancakes tho, just with a little EVOO in pan, no butter!
Feeling strong, bring on week 2!

Was absolutely buzzin at gym this am, put incline up to 5.5 at times and speed to 6.3, was GREAT!
Good day at work, had a very good presentation/ meeting on Venture Capital Tusts, which have really lit a fire in me, think I may look to specialising in these, but got quite a few exams to do b4 then!
Then it all went abit pete tong!
Loads of trains were cancelled so the ones that were running were packed worse than a tin of sardines :evil: had to wait an hour on a freezing cold platform for another train :x Was VERY cold, hungry and quite depressed (hormones MUCH unhelp also!).
BUT I stuck to the diet again despite the problems.

Day 10 (Wed):

Getting an early post in cos there are NO trains running from my station this morning due to weather conditions! Time to catch up on ironing and housework me thinks! Hve done my morning cardio on treadmill and, at least I'll get to do my back WO today as I live 200 yards accross road from gym! Will go late avo tho in case they shut early tonight.
Food plan will be the same 'cept mackerel salad with bakpot for T.
