Ok Im doing a journal.
Where to start? Well I am planning on doing the BNBF Central (figure) which is in 17 weeks time. SO from Tuesday I am dieting...ahhh!
I started back training in August 06 when my youngest was 3 months old, ended up going overboard on the weight loss, fulled by post natal depression and 4 weeks on anti depressants which dropped my weight down to a skinny 8stone 7 last summer. I have since gained and am weighing in at 9st4 and am hopefull that a good bit of the weight gain has been muscle
(at this weight I can see abs and at my skinny weight I couldnt hence being hopefull!)
My training is a bit erratic having 2 small kids and a partner who works shifts but I do a three day split
back and shoulders, legs, chest and arms then I do an abs class and sometimes yoga, have just started adding in some cardio on the cross trainer but need to get a bit more in.
Diet: This is were I slip up!
6.30 whey in water +lglutamine/ creatine/ bcaa
7.30 1 weetabix 100ml milk
200ml egg whites
10.00 Quark (1/2 tub) with apple sauce
1.00 either a protein bar if I am lazy or a bean wrap or pasta and feta from m&S van or if organised quinoa and tuna or a sweet potato with cottage cheese (sometimes I have this for dinner to)
3.30 snack a banana or handfull of nuts or slice of toast or sometimes yesterdays dinner leftovers = Im allways hungry here (think its the stress of having to pick the kids up!)
5.00 dinner if Im not training then I try to avoid carbs at dinner although being vegetarian (except from fish but not often) a lot of things have carbs anyway I usualy have vegi burgers or sausages with vegetables or will make something with vegi mince or TVP with a tin of tomatoes and whatever vegis I have and chuck it all in the oven. If training I will add some rice/pasta/quinoa
I tend to train late evening around 8 so will have whey in water with creatine before. I think I need carbs here to as I have been getting the shakes in the gym and end up having to get a powerade although this usualyhappens if I havent had enough carbs with dinner.
milk and whey when I get home/ before bed.
I will sort out some pics as they are easy to upload now on this computer, just lack anyone with adequate photography skills to take them!
So today... going to drop the kids round to my mums and then go and train legs and do 20 minuites on the cross trainer (if I can still stand!)
Oh and I got some more shoes!
