Other than figuring out calories etc.....how does the above look? PLEASE.........THANKS!

[tbody66]

even without calories the workout looks impressive.

[RaginCajun]

i agree with tbody, the workout looks great. just keep doing what you are doing and everything will fall into place. wait in about two weeks when you look in the mirror and notice your hard work, and then think about a month after that!

[gbrice75]

Things are looking better. It can always be tightened up, but i'm happy to see you're getting a decent amount of protein in now.

Thanks Gbrice and the tightening will continue.......

[Damienm05]

The above looks better. Def. Cut out that blue cheese dressing - 1 tbs is 100 calories and all from fat. Find a good champaign pear light vinaigrette or something.

next week, between lifting and body adjusting to diet, I wouldn't expect weight loss, but you will notice a difference in composition.

Fabulous!! Just remember protein increases metabolism!
Lean protein = increased metablolism = BIKINI!!

Checking in. Good job on the weight loss, don't be discouraged if the lb's start comming off slower in later weeks. Hows that timing between meals going? Ready to start logging meal/workout times?

Damn grats on the weight loss. Is you dog loving all the walking he/she is getting these days?

[tbody66]

I love lobster, don't know how I'd be able to handle it without butter???

[SlimmerMe]

Thanks BjPennn.....LOL! It is a tug-of-war with the fasted cardio. I keep reminding him it is NOT about him all the time and we continue to move forward at a clip. He does not participate in the high intensity....no way on earth.

I love lobster, don't know how I'd be able to handle it without butter???

I am a purist when it comes to lobster. No butter, no seasoning and maybe just maybe some lemon if it is not perfect and needs some juice.

[scotty51312]

how can you be an east coast girl without liking your lobster dusted with a little old bay? I love that stuff on almost all seafood

You should make that a sweet potato next time

[SlimmerMe]

^^^ LOL! Something else other than lobster? maybe.

I know it should have been a sweet potato but this was dinner out and they only served baked and I thought I was being real good by not putting ANY butter on the potato which was a challenge.

I have a few sweet potatoes here ready to be nuked.
3 as a matter of fact. 3 small ones!

Thanks for checking in Scotty.

[tbody66]

I absolutely love vinegar on my baked potatoe with salt and pepper, very good for you on several levels IMO, and takes away the craving for butter for sure.

[scotty51312]

almonds are good in moderation but i wouldn't eat them with my PWO meal. I like protien/carbs with no fat PWO. Good evening hour snack though, Sucks about the chicken, but always try to get protien. Even a shake is better than nothing

[Times Roman]

Hey Slimmer... how's it going on the plan?

I have really been hitting the cardio hard at night, followed up with gym time in the morning. I haven't really been tracking my macros at all (bad on me) and now find myself tired all the time. Increased my carbs today, and Viola! Feeling better.

So... how many more lbs off before you hit your target?

17 more pounds to go TR~My goal is to shed 20 over 3 months time.

Thanks for stopping by!

[Damienm05]

Almonds are high cal but very nutrient dense - a mix of fibrous carb/healthy fat/ and protein - say as opposed to these high calorie dressings - get your cals from almonds!!!!

id incease the workout by 5mins and decrease the cool down by 5mins.
5mins is plenty of cool down time for ya.

if you're aiming the fasted cardio for fatburn id bump it up to at least 45mins.

good luck!

Thanks for checking in Dec.

I do plan to up the cardio time.

Before and after cardio to location takes me about 5-10 minutes each way to and fro. That is what the 10 minute cool down is about.
