Here is my Saturday!

and a medium apple (at daughter's tumbling class)
2:30 At the corn maze....not many choices
2 bratwurst (no buns) ketchup and mustard
1 ear grilled corn, butter
walked through corn maze, petted 'exotic ' animals (princess, there was a scottich highland calf!!!! Soooo cute!), I think i need a Yak, a pigmy goat and a wallaby....
5:30 We went to the German restaurant, but i had NO BEER!!!!
I had a thin slice of canteloupe, a thin slice of honeydew, a small triangle of wtaermelon, a slice of apple with a slice of gouda on it, a slice of swiss cheese, a slice of havarti with dill.
I also had some roast wild boar (very good) some elk meat and a small portion of rabbit stew, and some red cabbage, yummm. Not tooo bad considering I was at a German restuarant!
At 8:30 i will have a cottage cheese 'sundae' and tonight I am going to bed on time!

Canook Thanksgiving is the same as Amerkin Thanksgiving, but this year we decided to have lasagna (great cheat with the mozzarella, ricotta and white pasta).
The peppers are an italian ritual (my wife is of the culture). I went to the market and bought 3 bushels, barbecued them today from 1:00-4:30, and drank red wine (another good cheat).
After they are bbqued they get peeoled, seeds taken out, sliced thin, and put in freezer bags. We eat them as a side dish or with chicken sandwiches, just about anything. We aleways put olive oil and garlic on them. Really good and healthy.
So today wasn't a good eating day, but did get to the gym.
9:00 yogurt
9:20 workout
10:30 pwo chocolate biox extreme whey shake
11:15 cottage cheese with 1 slice grain bread, handfull of almonds.
12:15 coffee
1:30 Coffee
3:00 glass of red wine
3:40:glass of red wine
5:30 lasgana, salad, red wine, wild berry pie, coffee
This was not a typical day. I will live through it, and tomorrow we are back to normal.

You are doing good, princess!
Ivan - the peppers sound tasty and healthy, if you like bell peppers (I think they are the devil). Bell peppers must be cheap, because anytime they make something healthier they add lots of bell peppers. have you noticed that? Anyhow - to each his own...glad you are enjoying Thanksgiving.

You should at least have a protein shake before your workout, then your pwo shake.
You need to figure out how to fit some real food in during the day.
If you can't have a real meal an hour and a half before your clzass, stick with the shake.
I hope you and your son are feeling better soon, asthma sucks, I know.

Yes, 4:30 am protein shake - could even be with skim milk.
After your workout protein and dextrose/maltodextrin is optimal, you need the mix of simple and complex carbs.
An hour later you need a meal of some sort - even a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread and some cut-up veggies - you can eat that in the car or while getting everyone ready in the morning - just prep it the night before so it is ready to go.
You need a meal with protein (or snack with protein) every three hours. So, noon, lunch, 3:00 small meal or shake, 6:00 dinner, before bedtime shake or cottage cheese.
============
Quoting from fitnscosmogrl:
I am using optimum nutrition shake...
so then at 430 am ..protein powder with water?
then after protein powder with water and glutamine..
then breakfast?...by that time do not think I have time for breakfast...I need to get my son and myself ready to take him to school and me to work...so If I have lunch at 12...then my mid day snack at 230 or 3...I should have another shake...protein with water? or a meal replacement shake?....then what about after I teach class? another shake? then my dinner?..sorry for all the questions..but I was on a perfect meal plan...or still am...but just in case they change me to work full time...everything gets messed up..:)

nightmare! put on half a pound this week!
Think it is mostly water retention and BF monitor confirms this, but it's hard not to be a little discouraged, I would have like to have seen a small loss.
I didn't manage quite as many cardio sessions as I would have liked last week, if I don't manage so many this week, I will stick to nearer 1500 cals than 1700, and see if that helps.
sunday:
10.00 Porridge, 2 slcies bread with PB/ yeast extract
12.30 Chest/back workout
13.30 PWO shake
14.00 soup, cheese slice, apple
18.00 chicken breast + steamed brocolli
22.00 tuna on toast
23.30 3 rice cakes with yeast extract, kiwi fruit
03.00 protein bar
cals 1700

|
2004/10/18, 07:51 AM
princess, honestly - half a pound? You need to stop with the weighing all of the time. Your weight can fluctuate many pounds from water retention alone.
The best way to see if things are changing is to take polaroids (or digitals) every two weeks and compare them side-by-side. You should see slight changes every two weeks.
My weekend was Good Amy during the day and Bad Amy at night....too much Mexican food, some margaritas... popcorn at the movie theater. I am too ashamed to list it all:surprised:
Today I am back on track and my order from Beverly came - oh man, the new cookies and cream flavor protein is like dessert!!!!!! I am still waiting for the other supps I ordered, but now I have a new short-term goal - to drop 10 lbs by Nov. 13th, when I am going to a bodybuilding show for inspiration...:dumbbell:
Does anyone else think we should start a second post so it is easier to pull up?
