Diet and training looking good! Go girl! [:D]


ticteaser -> RE: ticteaser decides to do things properly! (Nov. 1 2007 16:21:42)

Cheers Flick, I'm trying my best to get back into it!! Especially as someone tagged me in a photo from a few weeks ago on Facebook today and I look like a flabby blob on it!! [:-]

Thursday 1/11:

0715: 40g oats, 200ml milk, 10g sunflower seeds.
1300: 250g butternut squash, 10ml olive oil, 100g chicken, 50g green beans, 50g broccoli.
1700: banana.
Training: Body Combat and abs.
1900: protein shake.
2015: 100g pasta, half a tin of tuna, 15g pesto.

I'm going to drop my calories and concentrate on my cardio a bit more I think, as I'm just not shifting this extra little bit of weight I put on with getting out of my routine. I'll be bloody starving though!!! More filling green veg rather than quite as much pasta - I reckon lowering my carbs for a bit is probably my best bet while I'm not doing as much as usual anyway.

And I'm swearing myself off the booze again except for 2 weekends this month when I've got friends visiting for nights out in London, and Christmas. Other than that not a drop will pass my lips, and come New Year even nights out won't be an excuse!


flick161 -> RE: ticteaser decides to do things properly! (Nov. 2 2007 10:47:49)

Ok, why don't you, reduce the carbs in that butternut squash you have, remove carbs from evening meal but eat more protein with veg, add in a bit more protein before exercise? It doesn't seem like you're eating that much as it is so I'd be wary of reducing calories...

And tell me about the facebook thing, it's the bane of my life! [:@]


ticteaser -> RE: ticteaser decides to do things properly! (Nov. 2 2007 11:39:36)

By removing carbs from my evening meal, do you mean pasta, rice etc? Not veg like broccoli and cabbage and stuff? If I just tried to have a protein-based evening meal I'd be starving!! I know the butternut squash is a bit bad, but it's just a change every now and again from green stuff and tomatoes!!

I'm coming in at around 1650-1700 calories a day, which I feel is way too much for the amount of exercise I'm doing at the moment, hence not losing any weight. I have 1600 ish when I'm really training hard and that's about maintenance level.

And I know I need a protein shake or something mid-morning, or some protein before I train, I'm just finding it hard to eat everything I should be doing but keep my calories slightly lower at the moment!! Gaaah!!!!

And as for Facebook, bleeurggh!!! [:D]


flick161 -> RE: ticteaser decides to do things properly! (Nov. 2 2007 14:58:54)

I didn't mean to cut the butternut squash out -god no!! Just have slightly less in quantity and then move the remaining carbs you took out from that meal elsewhere...

When I'm cutting I always take carbs out of my evening meal. By carbs I mean complex ones from rice, pasta, bread potatoes etc... So my evening meal would just be salmon and salad or broccolli for example... Or my current fave, steak and eggs with some broccolli on the side...


ticteaser -> RE: ticteaser decides to do things properly! (Nov. 2 2007 15:12:15)

Right, no complex carbs at night from now on then - I shall become the broccoli queen!! Cheers Flick. [:)]

AAAAAARRRGHHHHH!!!!!! I am soooo rubbish!!!

I'm going to go today, but that will be the only time I go this week as I have friends visiting this weekend so Thursday I've got loads of shopping and tidying to do and Friday I'm picking them up from the airport straight from work. Bum bum bum!!!!

Thursday 8/11:

0715: 40g oats, 200ml milk, 10g sunflower seeds.
1300: 100g beef mince, 70g tomato, 10ml olive oil, 50g broccoli, 50g cabbage, 30g carrot, 20g onion.
1700: banana.
2030: 100g pasta, 50g avocado, 15g pesto, 30g olives.

Right, the top button has pinged off my smallest trousers and my smallest skirt feels a bit too snug as I'm turning into such an unbelievable blob, so I hereby solemnly swear that next week marks the start of the new me! This weekend will be a whirl of football and booze and a party and a roast dinner on Sunday (yum!), but once that's out of the way I fully intend to get back into the swing of things (how many times have I said this on here??!!).

Dunno what I'll end up eating for dinner tonight after I've been to the airport but I can't imagine it'll be anything too healthy. Otherwise today is brekkie as normal, the rest of the mince/veg for lunch and a nana in the afternoon.

Roll on Monday!! [:D]


ticteaser -> RE: ticteaser decides to do things properly! (Nov. 13 2007 9:45:41)

So on Friday my diet went ok-ish as planned - normal day apart from eating out at night, where I had a lamb steak and veggies (and only a teeeny bit of naughty mash and gravy!!), and I drove so I didn't drink.

On Saturday I had a burger, a KitKat, and about a squillion G&Ts. Very bad day. [&o]

On Sunday I had a banana and then a roast dinner (chicken, pigs in blankets, roast spuds and parsnips, cauli, carrots and turnip, cabbage peas, stuffing and gravy, mmmmmmmmm!!!). My diet for the next couple of days is a bit of a mess though as I've got lots of left-overs to eat. Luckily I didn't put any butter or anything in any veg, and I did the roasties with as little fat as poss.

Monday 12/11:

0715: 40g oats, 200ml milk, 10g sunflower seeds.
1300: 1 sausage, 100g cauli, 100g carrots, 100g parsnip, 60g potatoes, smidgen of gravy.
1700: banana.
Training: Body Combat and abs.
2030: 100g cauli, 100g carrots, 100g parsnip, 30g potatoes, ickle bit of gravy!

Really enjoyed Combat tonight. The girl who does it on a Monday isn't very good, she just does a mishmash of bits of old routines and misses some of the harder bits out; but I just went for it anyway. I probably look like a right loon when I'm doing Combat to be honest, but what's the point of bothering if you're not going to put the effort in?!

I'm determined to do this properly from now on so today is my push day and apart from having to eat left-overs a bit longer, it's going well! [:D]

Close-grip bench press 3 x 10, Oly bar plus 5kg.
Skull-crushers 3 x 8, 5kg each side.
Bench dips 3 x 15, 10kg on lap.

I'm still so feeble compared to what I used to be able to lift. [:(]

I s'pose it's my own fault for training so patchily recently. Ah well, at least the roast dinner left-overs are gone now!!

Wednesday 14/11:

Bent-over DB row 3 x 12, 14kg.
EZ bar curls 4 x 10, 5kg each side.
Seated concentrations 4 x 10, 8kg.

Diet was a bit too carby yesterday but I'm skint this week so I'm eating whatever is in the fridge and cupboards in order to save a bit of moolah!

My deadlifts are pitiful: how much should I theoretically be looking at lifting? Read somewhere I should be able to get up to 3 x bodyweight, which would be about 180kg!! [:-]

flick161 -> RE: ticteaser decides to do things properly! (Nov. 16 2007 12:18:46)

Bullshi* on the deadlifts...

Even at my Strongest when I was doing Strongwoman I was only lifting 120kg!!

Now I do about 70kgs for 5 reps but wouldn't dream of going too much higher... Give it time lovely... But also, you aren't eating enough protein to be making huge gains anyway.

200ml skimmed milk not enough protein for first thing...
Then your next meal you have 1/2 tin of tuna which is only max 17g protein (if that)
Then no protein before training??
The only meal you eat enough protein in is dinner!!

If it was me, I'd always eat a whole tin of tuna (but infact my trainer tells me to have 200g of the stuff), and always have protein before training, as it helps digest the carbs too not let them turn to stored glycogen... How about cottage cheese or some nuts?
