Loving your idea of batch cooking, I try to do that myself but usually end up eating the leftovers the day after for lunch!!

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 11 January 2009 19:40
Week 1

Couldn’t really have wished for a better first week. Been to gym 6am every morning & diet’s been good.
Had planned to have a Propeptide shake before bed, but have wanted a cup of T sat in bed surfing forum, so had ½ a maxi muscle bar. Progress is that at least I only had half.
Fri/ Sat/ Sun have had dark choc covered coffee beans after dinner but stayed in control & showed progress by counting out 10 & only having those.
Have had a headache most nights this week. Have changed my contraceptive pill so could be that, but I think it’s caffeine withdrawal from having an espresso in my pre WO shake with the yellow haze fat burner. Gonna ditch the fat burner for now, prefer the espresso!
Saw PT David this morning, f*~>k me, he nearly killed me! Was GREAT, lol!!!
Did a total Bridget Jones getting off the Power Plate!
New Leg WO is:
Squat with just the Olympic bar: 7, 7, 7, 25
Stationary Lunges with kettle bells (1 each hand: 12kg each!): 7, 7, 7
    Then final set 25 with 6kg DB’s
Deadlift with Kettlebells: 7, 7, 7, 25
Polymetric squats: 7, 7, 7, 25
Leg Press 50kg: 7, 7, 7
    Then final set 25 with 20kg
    These are super-set-ted  with static squat wall holds for 10sec
Kettlebell swings: 7, 7, 7, 25
    Super-set-ted with power plate deadlift - 30sec
Power plate squat: 30sec action + 30sec deep static hold.

Look forward to being able to get down stairs tomorrow, but even more so Tues, eh!?!
Chest + Tris in the morning & booked into spin pm, but will have to see how I’m holding up (4 the spin). Had a good session in the steam room after today & am about to have hot bath.

Seeing David in 2 weeks for new chest + Tris WO & 2 weeks after that for Back & Bi’s. He’ll check my cardio sessions one morning this week when we’re both in, legs'll be reviwed in 6 weeks. He's keen to give me some extra free session also as I'll be good for business if he can show a BB're in his portfolio, kule!

Scales said a 5lb weight loss this morning, but I was ‘due’ last weekend & with the excess carbs & alcohol, it’s prob mostly fluid, but psychologically s’good non-the-less! Have measured & done photos, so certainly will do measurements next week, prob photos after a month.

Did another batch cook today, Spanish chicken. Have had for T tonight + there’s 4 portions to go in freezer.

Spanish Chicken

12 chicken thighs
2 red/ yellow/ orange & green peppers
2 corgettes
2 onions
pack of celery
2 Tblsp marigold stock
2 tins toms
Tblsp paprika/ garlic paste/ tom-chilli-garlic sauce/ tom puree
3 Tbsp sweetener

Did half in the slow cooker with chicken & half in pan.
I know thigh's fatty but's tasty & I drained all the liquid off before serving, so nearly all fat should be in that.
Portioned out into 150g servings of chkn with lots of the veg.

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 12 January 2009 17:10
Fi - WOW!!!!! Talk about putting a plan into action!!!! Now do one thing...as painful and disheartening as it will be. Take some pictures. You don't have to post them but keep them. This is your starting point. Their will come a time when the hill will get steeper and the destination will seem sooooooooo far away but these will show you how far you have travelled so far. Photos is probably the best piece of advice I had given to me. Measurements are another...you can spreadsheet them LOL

Also make sure you know how much pro, carbs and fats you are having per day so that when you need to adjust your diet you know what you have been having and it makes it easier to tweak.

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 12 January 2009 18:08
Have photos from last July when I was around same weight & stats so will just use that, can't face taking another fat photos, next ones WILL show progress!
My eight week ones last year were great so just need to do that again & then keep momentum going.

Have all food spreadsheeted out as you say, lol! so know pro/ carb/ fat p/day. Carbs seems quite high at mo, but want them to be so if I can lose weight on this split then great! No point in getting emotionally low carb just yet if I don't need to.

Ooo, 4got to mention...
On my journal foraging over x-mas noticed Flick having egg white & oat omellettes each morning, so tried them also this w/e.
RESULT! Even hubby liked them, so that's kule, used 6 whites & 2 whole eggs & 30g-ish oats (pre-soaked in hot water) btween us & added spring onion, sweet pointed peppers, seasoning & a Laughing cow light triangle each.
Thanx Flick! xx

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 13 January 2009 18:28
Legs feeling better today, about to have another bath. Missed cardio this morning but that’s ok, having done legs Sun I can have today off. Will do cardio tomorrow & Fri & back & bi’s Thurs.
Scottish Equitable rep took the admin girls out to lunch today. I again showed control & only had 1 piece of garlic bread & 1 calamari ring to start & then had a (carb free) poached salmon salad, that refreshingly didn’t have a lot of dressing on it. There was about 200g of salmon! Tho if that’s the badest I am at the mo then I’m ok with that. & I felt good this afternoon whilst the others felt really sleepy with all the carbs.
Rest of the diet to plan pork salad with chilli mango dressing for T.

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 14 January 2009 22:31
40 mins cardio this morning: 15 treadmill incline walking, 10 stepper & 10 rower & 5 xtrainer. Pretty sure rower’s aggravated my back, so will omit that for a week or two & see. Good WO tho. Did spinning tonight too, that was great fun with my new shoes.  And then treated myself to a long session in the steam room.
Was thinking I felt bad as had 100g of rice on dinner last night, unplanned, don’t know why I did it!? But then realised I didn’t have ½ maximuscle bar later, so that evened out.
100g mackerel & salad tonight with 6 largish baby plum toms & balsamic, mmmmmmm.
½ maxmuscle bar with T with skim milk.
Back & Bis in the am.

I am now officially sick of eggs though having eaten them everyday for the past 2.5 years, literally only having about 10days in all that time where I didn't eat them...

I've made them into splenda and lemon juice omelettes; added veggies to make a big spanish omelette; had them hard-boiled for a phase; had a yolk in the middle to make my own version of a super large fried egg; had them in my oats - now I'm out of options and I'm REALLY REALLY hating them and need to go back to the Strawberry pro-pep and banana breakfast I used to be soooo in love with! :-D

Thanks for checking in on me Elsa.
Everytime I contemplate deviating at all, I just think about you girls in contest prep diet & think myself lucky that with so much weight still to lose I can afford my diet to be so varied.

Bollox!!!
Really p-ee-d off, loaded with cold & I was doing so well.
Sore throat started Fri night & wasn't helped out with girls talking over load music. Felt good tho as I drove had 4 lime & soda's & when I got in hungry had 2 slices soda bread with cottage cheese & chicken on!

Had flicks omellette for breakii sat & as was feeling down decided to have cheat meal sat night. Was just scallops & salad from M&S with 150g potatoes...............& a slice of the best god damn cheesecake I ever tasted! Bloody wanted to be at 350kal a slice !!!

Omelette again sun am, soup for lunch, baxters but under 5% fat p/100g & low carb with 150g added chkn. Roast dinner in evening, not tooo bad, but was starting to feel quite rough.

Bad night & now feel like crap.
But have been looking at my macros as that seems to be the hot topic of the moment.

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 19 January 2009 15:21
Meal Protein Carbs     Fat     Kals
1     23          16.5      3.8     190
       22.5        3          1.5     115
2     25          20.2      3.9     220 *seeds
3     19.3     37.75      2.25   240
4     20.6     23           6.3     224.5
5     19.3     37.75      2.25   240
6     33          0          11       300
7     22.5     3            1.5      115
Totals
       185.2  141.2      32.5   1644.5

So I'm not too far off/ out, I don't think? 30/35/35? But the banana seems to be spiking the carbs of meals 3 & 5 quite dramatically. I could lower this by having 100g large plum toms with a tsp EVOO & go more pro fat than pro carb?
But the carb gram total's only 140g & Elsa you mentioned that your carbs won't go below 100g in your contest prep so with the bananas am I too low given that I've got 3st to go, don't want my body to get used to low carbs & make contest prep even more difficult?!
Am I right with my macros......I don't count the carb 'value' of my rice as it's 100g cooked weight, do I?! It is 20g-ish'value'?
Or should it just be that rather than the banana which is simple, the carbs should be more complex? Sweet potatoe's tasty but a hassle to organise for 2x a day, wolemeal pasta or bread even?

I think I've lost a couple of lbs but I was due when I first weighed & now with this cold.......... s'not the most motivating to step on the scales to check & to then be dissapointed!

Been reading your journal, sounds like you've got a plan underway.
 
Where can I get the famous omlette recipe?Have tried a forum search to no avail!
 
Keep it up.
I am not sponsored by anyone but I have now found a protein powder I really, really like!

Hehe, there wasn't really a recipe, just the mention of combingin oats & egg whites.
I soaked my oats 30g-ish in hot water, dry fried whatever I wanted in omlette, lightly fork whisked egg whites with seasoning & whatever herbs(3 + 1 whole & i love cumin!), then at last moment (as hot oats will start to cook egg whites) mixed oats into egg & poured into pan to cook.

Bit of trial & error really!

Thanks for posting tho, nice to know people are following me, keeps my but in check!

Finding the macros is a pain. 
I love food and want to keep the intake as high as I possible can. I'd rather opt the cardio before cutting down on food intake hehe..
I like numbers and prefer to calculate my intake. As I drop in weight my body will need less kcal so I will alter this every 4 weeks. Maximizing protein intake, cut out a bit on fats(1 gram=9kcal) as it requires less change, then on carbs (1 gram=4kcal)

How much to you weigh now in KG? (I dont do pounds well)

This is how I do it:
To maintain your weight you should eat approx 33kcal per kg.
So to loose weight take off 5kcal to begin with. This is you max intake per day. 
Then calculate 2.5-3 gram protein per kg bodyweight.

Fats should be +/- 30% (the more fats you got the fuller you'll feel)
Carbs is whatever is left.

Example:
I was 67kg when I started off: (67x28kcal)= 1876kcal
(67x3) 200gr = protein
(1876x0.2 or 0.3) 41.8 - 62.5gr = Fats
1876-P-F) 128.5 gr - 175gr = Carbs 

Less fat=more carbs and opposite. You just have to find what suits you best. We're all different. Looking at your diet containing only 32grams of fats, this could be the place to add on abit. It can simply be done by swopping fat free CC to reduced fat CC or full fat CC.
1 tbs seeds is not alot... weigh up 20 grams, that should give you about 10grams of fats I think.
Udos choice is good supplement for fats :-)

2tbs Udo's, 2 tbs balsamic vinegar and juice of 1 lemon gives you a yummy dressing :-)

Re:Figure Contestant Wanabe - 21 January 2009 12:23
Those macros look ok to me...

HUGGGGE TIP: Never have a cheat when you're down. Unless it's planned sometime in advance that's not a cheat, it's comfot eating... Whenever you normally have you're cheat meal, you'll feel gutted because it won't feel like you had it on down day...

Also, you won't be able to do it when you contest diet so may as well break the habit now ;-)

Wow thank you ladies, that's excellent!

Elsa I'm gonna play with my figures again after my bath. But don't know why I hadn't though of having not fat free cottage cheese, genius, lol!

Eyes still quite sore, achey, not helped by looking at at VDU all day........ so whado-I-do wen I get in lol?!!?

Flick, you're right, I must break this habitual eating. I didn't need the cheesecake on Sat.
Sun PM as agreed with Tan is my cheat meal, I should've kept it for then & followed the PLAN. Then I could've decided not to have it when I was more in control.

Dinner last night was supposed to be ratatouille with the breast of the roast chkn from Sun, But my fogginess took spanish ckn outov feezer!
So ratatouille tonight, I think!??!

So last week was a bit of a write off, although was totalli right thing to do, cos now I’m back firing on all cylinders & I did get some maths done (thank you Elsa & Flick) & now feel happy about diet plan & that I know the macros of what I’m going to eat……….so now I just need to stick to eating just that.  
Doing high protein (180g) + moderate carbs (150g) & fat (50g) on weights days & high protein + lower carb (100g) & moderate fat cardio days.
Doing fasted cardio instantly loses me carbs (pre WO), breakii is high tho (50g oats) & other meals adequate. Figure doing higher n low days shud keep my metabolism guessing? Well there’s only one way to find out eh?!!?

Did new leg WO on own 4 1st time this morning, went well, not quite as bad as 1st time with PT David but still pushed myself hard, was pleased. Did 30min steady walking on treadmill after post WO shake. 15 min 1.5% + 6km/p/hr & 15 2.5% +6.2.
Seeing PT David 6am 2morrow for chest + Tris. Will try to have dinna 6/6.30pm when I get in from work & do xtra cardio after that. Maybe just something on the Wii if not at the gym, but aim will be to at least not have butt sat on sofa watching TV!

Looks good t me fifi! the best thing to do now is to go for this for 2-3 weeks- strict. You have to stick to it to see if it is working. No cheats/treats for those 3 weeks, you need to break the habit. If you need a pudding fix then I suggest you invest in a box of CNP protein puddings, they are my saviour at the moment :0).
 
How about having some oatcakes instead on bananas! I divide and packet of microwave rice mixed with my chicken and veg into 3 meals to give me 20g carbs, 30g pro & ca 8g fats so one big mixed up meal actually makes 3 meals.

Yum That sounds good :-) I`ve discovered Tecos ready to eat chicken chunks. Really tasty, but I`m not sure how the level of salt might be in them though...

Hi Tan,
I have CNP protein pud! shud bloody use em eh!??!
I'm better when i make my jellies, which i have done & plan to do each sun pm, 5 little pots, 1 for each evening, could even go with PPud?

Yep, had revised bananas to scan bran? scandinavian bran thngs like an oat cakee, good for em, you know what!?!! Gonna have with blended cottage cheese to make more like soft cheese & pickled beetroot.

No cheats untill our meal out on the 4th. Have told hubby, but as he's trying to get control of a minor IBS issue, no red meat or xcess fat won't hurt him either.
