I think I'll do that. I'll get Dana to help me out. I actually NEED to see improvements or it kind if feels like I"m going nowhere. I'll get them.

VPX Zero Carb
BSN Lean Dessert
Opt Nutrition Pro Complex
Monster Milk
Beverly International
Dymatize

if anyone is interested in online sites I order from, I could post those also.

Sure, if you could post the links, that will be help to anyone wanting to better themselves!

Just saw this thread...

Well I don't really want to loose weight or set a number. I just want to be in the gym more than I have lately, the rest will follow. Been hiting the gym and doing super sets with my sister so doing pretty good. Just have to tell myself its okay to make time for myself.

I can lend some help to if that's cool. Been working out and eating healthy for 5 yrs and kept my weight down and I live with a trainer/nutritionist.

Hey Everybody, sorry I've been so absent, I've had alot of activities going on over the weekend with my daughter, but I just wanted to let everyone know you guys are very insiring and I'm really excited about all of our goals for the new year.

I said I would log my meals so here they are, Its pretty simple I eat the same thing everyday,

Breakfast is a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice then I workout.
after my workout I have my Whey protien shake
lunch........Mixed veggies, pinto beans (red Beans, or green beans) and fish or chicken
3 hrs later.........same thing
3 hours later........ same thing
3....hours later .......Whey protien
And drink lots of water

I take a multivitamin, Vitamin b, and C and glutimine before I go to bed then when I wake up.

I do this 6 days then eat what I want on Saturday.

Also I do full body circiut workouts 3 days a week. I'm keeping my cardio at a minimum, I really only have about 10 pounds to lose by competition. I'm doing less reps and more weight right now then 3 months before I compete I will do more reps and less weight to tone. And I will also take a way the cheat day. And my first competition will be June. 11 in the "Red Stick Classic" in BatonRouge, La. (my home town) Can't wait!!!!!!

Anyway its my second day on this plan so glad we all are doing this together so we can cheer each other on!!!!!

Go bonnie!! I cant do the eat the same thing deal... I tried and got burnt out. I love food too much.

My meals looks like this.
Breakfast : coke zero and two hard boiled eggs.
Snack: baby carrots
Lunch: lean cuisine or smart one under 330 calories
Snack: handfull of nuts and dried cranberries.
Dinner: one plate if whatever we cook, which is never bad bc I have acid reflux and my mom had high cholesterol even though she is your size abd we have to eat light so usually chicken and veggies.

And then we eat out one night which we usually split fajitas for one. But I feel like if you dont have a cheat day you try to cheat more during the week.

Meals look great! I know what you mean about getting burnt out but its easy for me at work and less thinking and planning, right now I have my cheat day to look forward to. lol

Here is a typical day for me:

Breakfast: Oatmeal, Coffee
Snack around 10: banana or apple
Lunch: Mixed Green Salad with LF Balsamic Vinegarette Dressing, 1 oz sliced turkey, cheese stick
Snack around 3:30pm: FF Yogurt
Dinner: 3 oz Grilled Chicken, Green Beans, Brown Rice
After Dinner Snack around 7:30pm: Handful of Almonds or if I want a sweet treat I will get a Nutrigrain Bar

Exercise (when I am able to) I can go 3 days a week to do an hour of advanced deep water aerobics, or an hour on the treadmill.

I actually ate healthy tonite. I had a veggie mini pizza for dinner I bought it for $3.00 at the local grocery store.

Don't have time to cook and those high-preservative microwave meals gotcha reachin for a fast-food instead? I found something that works great for me and wanted to share it with all of you. I take a big bowl that has a lid and dump in a bag of salad and add some other fresh vegetables to it such as sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, red peppers etc. I then have protein items in small containers on the side that I already drained/rinsed/chopped such as black beans, tuna, kidney beans, or egg whites that I can add to the salad so it isn't just blah vegetables. Since I run, I also have some pasta I can add in to get some carbs...but not too much. All of these things are at your finger tips throughout the week so throwing together a healthy, well-rounded meal is a cinch and the salads also make nice side dishes if you actually have time to prepare a meal, just omit the protein additions (assuming your meal has protein)! Hope you all find this helpful and good luck on achieving your health and fitness goals!! Here is a pic of what I do:

Sounds Good Lori! Sounds like you know how to eat right!


I went to the gym today. 40 mins on the treadmill. 45 lunges w/8lb weights, then 40 split squats, 30 bicep curls, and 30 tricep kickbacks.

That is a great idea for those who don't eat healthy because they say it takes too much time. Looks good too! You just gotta find out what works for you.

I used to cook chicken breast on sunday and heat them up during the week with a bag of steam beggies and the 90 Uncle Bens brown rice. Super easy!
