Hi, everyone, I'm Heather from Pennsylvania, I just joined this weekend. I have been lifting weights for over 1 year, but just got really serious about nutrition and training about 3 months ago. I've noticed a lot of changes, but have seem to hit a plateau. I have lost a lot of weight before this - 65 lbs. And now I have about 10 more I'd like to lose - especially my belly - I have a 5 yr old, so all you mom's know what that's all about. I also want more muscle and to be tight. It's such a slow process. I am going to list my stats,diet and training, and I'd love any feedback, if I'm doing ok, or not enuf, eating the right stuff, enuf calories, or too much. I just changed my training today 4/14/03 so this is how my training will look for awhile at least.
Mon: Back and Bi
Tues: Abs, and Cardio 45 min tredmill/Reebok Trec
Wednesday: Chest/shoulders/tri
Thursday: Abs and Cardio " "
Friday: Legs
Saturday: Abs and Cardio " "
Sunday: OFF
I was doing cardio 6 days a week . 45 min on off days and 30 min after lifting, my boyfriend, and an ex personal trainer said this was way too much. I was eating and still am eating between 1600-1750 calories a day. I think my diet is pretty clean, and starting today, I cut out the protein bars, and am using protein powder instead, I heard the bars, have hidden stuff in them.
My diet on a typical day is as follows
Before workout(only on lifting days) Bannana
After: 6 eggs whites and 1 serving of either oatmeal or oat bran w/ 1 serving of wheat germ mixed in.
Meal 3: protein powder and 1/2 serving of vanilla yogurt
Meal 4: Lean meat(chicken/fish/turkey burger) 1 serving long grain brown rice and 2 c of broccoli
Meal 5: protein source around 250 calories
Meal 6: salad w/tuna fish or cottage cheese, ff dressing, and veggie and lean meat(if not having tuna in salad)
That's pretty much it, I just need to know if I'm on the right track and if I'm eating enough, or not enough, if I'm doing enough cardio, etc. All advice is so appreciated. Thanks so much and God Bless.
