Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 20 November 2009 12:17

Stayed the same.
S'only 4 full days of being spot on, but should've seen at least a pound for that.
I have my monthlies so maybe that, don't think so but will track losses at this time from now on so I now better pre comp next year.
And I was a little contipated!?
BUT I do feel slimmer. A couple of skirts I've worn this week fit better, even with monthlies.
Muscle tone can't offset that much in a week, so...
... must try harder.
Have plan for the w/e so no cheats and I can be a fortnightly loss kinda person, so lets see what happens next week and then make changes if nessesary.

You can do it ! .. Can you fit anymore cardio in at all ? Maybe increase the PM to 45 mins ? I know you're getting up super early as it is.

commitment to purpose......

Do it.

It's not easy, no one said it would be.......THAT is exactly why you are doing this angel.  Anything that is easy to accomplish isn't ever worth it, in my experience.

DONT make me come and inflict my bonkerosity and general looniness on you in person..................you REALLY don't want that to happen.

You really don't... The worse thing about Chrissie is that traning-wise, she'll try anything... It's really quite scary sometimes. She'd never Barbell-benched until we went to visit her last year, and she ended up benching 40 or 50kgs on her first attempt! Unless you want her to inflict that kind of madness upon you Fi, I'd play nicely!!! :-D

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 28 November 2009 15:53
So last week I was feeling I’d made progress:
·         I’d only had 2 small slices of pizza and 1 large glass of wine on my ‘no cheat, cheat’ night, as usually I could’ve demolished a whole 12” myself +garlic bread+couple of beers and a pudding.
·         I’d made every planned WO, for the first time since I can remember.
But this wasn’t good enough.
Your tough love comments combined with my ‘female, irrational, hormonal, ex-eating disorder’ brain then sent me on a downer:
·         I mayaswell give up now, I’m crap
Vs
·         don’t be so f*****g stupid, you’ve done two weeks of your plan, that’s just stupid to think like that
Welshy’s doing SoOo well, and don’t get me wrong I’m not a complete bitch, I am REALLY happy for you huni, but then I beat myself up doubly bad.
BUT I didn’t binge or back off the schedule, I plodded on, but as I had nothing positive to post, I didn’t bother.
I hate feeling like this. Welshy , you were worrying your weight loss was precious muscle, I worry that my downers increase my cortisol levels and negate any efforts on my part to lose weight (fat).
Again this week weight remained the same. Only a mad man does the same thing over and again and expects to get different results. So something has to change.
I had a very productive WO week. Yes welshy I can increase my cardio and did on Wed, Thurs and Fri’s PM session to 40mins; 20 psyco interval minutes on stairmaster (Chrissie, no hands) followed by 20 steady on recumbent bike. I can only get 20mins in of an AM at mo with it being dark, cold, wet and needing to commute. I want this but not at the expense of my complete sanity. When the clocks go forward and it gets warmer and lighter I may well think about getting up a little earlier to power walk outside for longer, as I did really enjoy that earlier this year, and would be able to that of an evening also.  
Did chest n Tris Tues but cardio thurs instead of back n bis as neck was a bit sore? Thinking I could maybe do alternate weeks of chest n tris n back n bis to get an extra PM cardio session in whilst trying to get weight off? I think alternate week upper body WO’s be enough to maintain muscle mass I’ve built up? For my first efforts to get on stage?
I had been logging food intake on DailyBurn.com and my average daily intake mon-Fri  is 1800 cals. There have been a few healthy extras that I’ve been adding to salads, like seed sprinkle which, obviously given last 2 weeks results, I can’t get away with. BUT, I have to keep evening meals varied and interesting or else I end up going totally off the rails after a 2 week good period and undo all my efforts, as this has been my pattern. Mon-Fri  thru the day I am perfect. So a bit more effort needed in an evening, and Mark is being NO help. So I’ll pay all that more attention.
Diet+ WO Mon-Fri:
5.45: Espresso
6am: 20mins Cardio
7am: 25g oats made as porridge with water + shake (25g)
10am: 150 lowfat cottage cheese+150g honeydew melon
12pm: 50g tinned tuna+50g tinned salmon+raw corgette+2 de-seeded toms+tbsp balsamic.
2pm: 150 lowfat cottage cheese+150g honeydew melon
4pm: Apple+50g lowfat cheese
6pm: Shake (25g)+banana
7pm: espresso
7.15pm: Either weights (tues) or 40mins cardio (mon,wed,thurs,fri)
9pm: Salad/veg with 150g chicken breast or fish (+baked potato tues after weights)
 
The weekends I hate. My meal timings go out and meals are less frequent. I don’t think I have so many too many cals but prob half the days cals are had in 1 meal rather than 3, not so late, we have dinner at 6pm. So this may need more attention.
I don’t class Fri pm as a cheat meal, we have fish n chips BUT:
·         I weigh 130g of oven chips (only 5% fat)
·         have 2 breaded fish fingers with a peice of white fish steamed
·         a small brown bread bun, no spread
·         mushy/processed peas with fresh mint
is that really so bad? No really tell me, cos I know 16 weeks out I won’t be having it but at the mo, it falls within my 1800 cals a day, on which I should be losing. I’ll tighten up on the sprinkles the other nights to be able keep this.
Sat: Breakki is oat+eggwhite omelette with toms, corgette,50g each lowfat cheese.
Again, so bad? Bla bla, as above.  Lunch as thru the week. Dinner a ‘not too excessive cheat’. No take aways, credit cruch, maybe a ‘finest’ meal from tesco or the ‘two dine for £10’ from M&S and I try to stay with under 5% fat. If I have beer it is just a pint. I’m not a pudding person really so I’ll be happy with a ¼ of a choccie protein bar just for a taste of something choccie, and not a flapjack one as I know they’re a LOT higher carb, one with 20g carb p/bar.
Sun: Breakki as thru the week, then leg n shoulder WO. We then have a roast dinner BUT only boiled/steamed veg and no meat juice gravy or anything silly like that.
 
I know I’m trying to ‘have my cake and eat it’ so to speak, but I’m still learning and as I say going too hard core doesn’t work as I just go off the rails. I’m trying to get consistent, so that when 16/20 weeks come I may stand a chance of going ‘hard core’.
Or I’ll just give up, but I don’t want to, not just yet anyhoo.
So, plan for this week: Tighten evening meals  up and continue with 40mins PM cardio.
Thanks for getting to the end of this self wallowing, I plan to have a much more positive post next week, I wouldn’t hold your breath! But I’ll try my damndest!

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 28 November 2009 16:13
That's a really tough thing to post hun, not many people would be so candid ;-)

Notes (not mean ones, they clearly don't help so I'll leave alone from now on):
What day is your cheat meal? I got a little confused with mentions of roast dinners, M & S Dinners, Fish and Chip night and the 2 small slices of pizza night. Do you have a set cheat? Because if you don't have one then you'll carry on justifying this here and there when it'd prob better to have one designated meal and that's it.

In all seriousness, if you think you're sticking to 1800 cals, AND doing 60 mins(?) cardio a day, and training, and not losing weight, don't you think it's time you saw a doctor? That's a lot to be doing and not making any progress - perhaps there's something more underlying there, such as a health issue?

Sorry to hear Mark's poorly, I hope he gets better soon :-) And I hope you start to get that chin up soon and not hide away when things get tough - come talk to us! ;-)

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 28 November 2009 17:11
hi,

bored tonight so im reading peoples journals that i have never been in before!

Sounds like your having a bit of a rough time getting your head round the diet and what needs to be done.  I can identify with alot of what your feeling, many years ago i did some silly things with me eating.  For alot of the cutting diet for my first competition this year i was struggling like mad to get my head round the weight loss, and feeling sooo small if i said i never thought about quitting i would be lying.

BUT stick with it, and you will start to enjoy it, results will come, and you will start to feel much more positive.  I dont really want to critisise, as from your post its obvious that rather than motivate, it demoralises you.  The only piece of advice i can give is that as said already consistency is the key, and a few little things really do add up and have an effect, i will leave it at that!

Hope you can get the head to a more positive place, if you can do that, then you will really start to see the results.  we all go through it, so dont beat yourself up about it too much.

Oh Fi... *massive snuggles*

I'm so so sorry you're feeling like this

It's horrible when you're putting in so much effort, which you are, and you feel like you're getting nowhere.

I think you may be trying something and not giving it enough time ? I could be totally wrong however. Things do take time to kick in and work and then when you see the progress it keeps you on track.

I tend to have 1 scheduled cheat meal a week and that keeps me on the straight and narrow, I hear you with the weekends though, I tend to get up late and then manage to miss a few meals sometimes.

I don't know what advice to give, I'm still so new to all this but if there is ANYTHING I can do to help I'm here x

Thank you all soOo much, that's picked me up no end
I hate being so needy and was just thinking earlier that I remember this time last year posting and flick you were telling me off for pigging out on maximuscle bars! And here we are again
I'm gonna aim to post every evening, exactly what I've eaten and exercise done and then we can see what I am and am not doing.

Thanks huni. I'm glad everyone's taken it in the manner it was intended.
You and Welshy are right, I need to designate my cheat meal and be done with it, but enjoy it!
As I say, I aim to post every evening, exactly what I've eaten and exercise done, then if by x-mas it looks like I'm being a star pupil and no results I'll investigate. But I think we all know I'm just being too lax for 2.25 days a week that's undoing my fantastic 4.75.

a few little things really do add up and have an effect

 
Thanx for posting, your comments were very helpful and spot on. I'm so tansparent that after a breif reading you've got me dotted!

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 29 November 2009 21:49
Well you sound perfectly normal to me chuck!! I can't think of any of us who haven't been through all the thinking that you posted about at one point. The thing is to let it out and you've done right posting this. The first time round is scary and when you've got through it the once you know you can do it again but believe me it still happens. 2 weeks out from me going to the States I was in tears for a whole morning having dwelt on negatives for over a day and no matter what hubbie said it didn't matter. If you work through it you know the games for you. This is what sorts out the weak from the strong so show us what strength you really have.

Regarding the 1800 cals and not losing weight in spite of the cardio you're doing then is it time you came off the SW diet? This is what made me stop as I wasn't progressing. It's good for general weight loss but for this game it doesn't really allow the right form of eating. The other question to ask....and I'm being completely blunt......but are you really being strict and sticking to 1800 cals OR is the odd little thing creeping in that you "conveniently" forget about?? Only you know the answer to this.

again, awe/ahh.
Thanx kitty.
I knew I'd only get the support I needed if I was honest.
My goal for the next two weeks is to do just that, tighten diet up. Little things have crept in, that even SW don't allow, so not sure why they have!?

*poke poke*

How did your week start lovely ?

Alright, alright, I had it ready just not time to post...
 
5.45am: Espresso
6am: 1hr recumbent bike
7.30am: 25g oats made as porridge with water (+dash; cinamen, mixed spice, sweetner & salt) with shake 25g with espresso in it.
10am: 105g honeydew melon+150g lowfat cottage cheese
1pm: 50g tinned tuna+50g tinned salmon+corgette+2 toms+balsamic+chives+rice
4pm: ½ MyProtein choc chip flapjack bar
7pm: 150g Chicken breast with salad with left over calves liver from yesterday + balsamic
9pm: ½ MyProtein choc chip flapjack bar
 
Took day off work, I pinched something in my shoulder blade yesterday and wanted to get it sorted asap. As I was going to see chiro and have a massage I knew I wouldn’t be able to go back to gym tonight, so hence the hours recumbent this am.
I have a constant back niggle and the recumbent’s non-aggravating, I can manage psyco stairmaster 2/3 nights a week without too much aggrevation, and do fell the recumbant’s working well for me.
Had unplanned rice with lunch today, as home and felt I needed comfort food with injury and miserable weather, so this has resulted in calories over the 1800.  But dinner was as normal so I’m confident that tomorrow’ll be a lot better.
Dailyburn says:

1856 Calories
goal is 1650 to 1850 cals


29.03g of Fat
goal is 40 to 69 g


132.06g of Protein
goal is 160 to 170 g


266.56g of Carbs
goal is 150 to 250 g


I haven’t particularly set the goal figures, just the cals and the protein, feel free to chip in if you think I could keep an eye on/split the fat+carbs better, otherwise I’m just gonna concentrate on the cals and protein and use low fat common sense. The carbs are hig (if they are?) Cos of unplanned rice and flapjack, and it’s the last one I promise not to buy anymore!

hey,

good to see things are much more on track now! 

preparation is the key to sticking to a diet, and you seem to be getting better with this!

i will put money on it, that if you stick to the plan well for a couple of weeks, then you will see results!  and that will give motivation a huge boost!

keep us updated, and ill be popping in again regularly  :-)

If you're still not progressing may I suggest switching cardio. Recumbant bike is probably the least effective to help burn calories. Try something more weight baring even if it's just good old walking at pace

Have a nice night out with g/f  meal plan sounds lovely

you may indeed!
Pretty sure I am progressing, can feel clothes are looser this week.
 
But I'm not weighing myself! Not untill 21st. We go to Tenerife for a week on 22nd. I don't want to be distracted by the scales, they haven't helped lately, nothing to do with the excess calories
I'm gonna just stick with programe HARD untill 21st and hopefully have a lovely surprise for holiday.
Although an hour on the bike can get quite boring, so may mix it up, was just whilst pinched nerve in back/shoulder calmed down, which is now a lot better, back to weights at w/e too.

Fri Another good day.
Loch Fyne for T, had the mixed grill; salmon, bream, king prawn and scallops with a few chips and veg. I drove so no alcohol calories and had ¼ promax bar when we got back as pud with coffee, as planned. Didn’t do Dailyburn but even if calories were over, which they prob were, it was healthier fish, clean protein and I stuck to plan so psychologically felt fine.
 
Sat good day too. Official cheat meal tonight, but did do cals, so felt quite good that only as high as it was given it was cheat meal.
10am: Egg white(5)+oat (25g) omelette with tomatoe+spring onion+42g low fat cathedral city
2pm: 150g honeydew melon+150g lowfat cottage cheese
4pm: Shake (25g)+espresso+2 oat cakes
