Newer lady member needing diet & workout guidance

[bikeral]

just caught the plumbers bikini bahahaha

[GirlyGymRat]

Weigh in this morning down half pound since last Wed. I'll take it considering I didn't stick to macros over weekend and did not walk at all. I keep thinking about that bikini which helps me in evenings when I am most vulnerable to mis-eating.
I can do this!!!

You can do it ! Go GGR

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ i am doing this and diet is okay.
ankle update...looks like I am headed for surgery (date TBD) on the ankle to remove a bone chip which is stuck in the tendon. i explained to the orpodetic dr that I need him to make me better so I can get back to my lifestyle...working out, running, extreme obstacle courses and my stilettos...just to make sure we were on "the same page".

meantime, been better this week with diet....looking forward to wednesday weigh in

[bikeral]

Looking good with the diet. Sorry to hear about the ankle.

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ thanks Al...gotta get repaired so I can start training soon. : ) Shoulder is next. But it is all good. I would rather have the issues that come from working out then those that come with not working out.

And I did well this weekend although, perhaps fell short on total calories...i just wasn't that hungry. appetite seemsl lower since I am not working out.

Maaan, injuries sure do suck. . . . Good luck!

[GirlyGymRat]

i was supposed to weigh and measure this morning, but slept in a little too long after going out Tuesday nite to support a dear friend by participating in a charity benefit. It was a fund raiser for a good cause, however, the 2 glasses of wine and "bar food" wasn't exactly within my macros. my whole eating cycle was off yesterday. I ate a late breakfast, late lunch and wasn't hungry until late in the evening. no surpise that i didn't hit my macros.

You sound like me, hahaha! But only two glasses, you showed some reserve! Are you still walking with your stilettos?

yes, they do!

i know, we could be related with all our bad cheats. Stilettos, ummmm YES. I don't own a single pair of flats and proud of it

[GirlyGymRat]

i weighed in about a pound higher then last wednesday but all measurements the same.

i wore a size 2 shirt in to work today and a guy called me slender and then thin. nothing wrong with that

I can't wait to get back to the gym. I am hooked on great workout, sweat and all! LOL

[bikeral]

How's it going GGR. How long till you are back in the gym?

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ 2 more weeks and then i go on that bikini vacation....so i am thinking about hiting the tanning salon hard LOL.....everyone looks better with a tan in a bikini, even our female plumber bikini gal looks better in a tan. ROTFLMBO!!!

Nice, I need a vacation. . . From what I don't know

I still never hit a tanning bed, just stick to the ol' fashioned way - baking in the sun.

Its also nice not to have to worry about burning. Used the tanning bed a few weeks before I went to Spain in May and had no burns while at the beach. I usually get sunburn and need to control time in sun while on vacation.

[--->>405<<---]

Tanning bed is a must! Love the tanning bed!

[Tx89]

That is fantastic news. Really glad you are feeling better.

i didn't end up spinning but did tan. big nite for me! LOL.

my plans for spinning were b4 i meet with surgeon. i would rather have no luck then my luck. i know i am not being punished, but sure feels like it some days. i've had better days. some days just suck. today is one of those days.

anke mri results back and need surgery; trying to get into the orthopedic for the shoulder and found out today i need another surgery to correct the correction that didn't correct. like i said, had better days. but there is a bright side - i should be down a few pounds. lost my appetite and lots of tears. i am being tested.

Hmm I think I got that.

Hope the sunny days come soon.

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ thx AL! i had my pity party and now it's over. a little perspective goes a long way that plus SPIN CLASS and a TAN. luv fasted spinning. yayyyyy!!!!

i stole out of 405's playbook and tweaked my macro % to 55P/25C/20F but my new fitness budy pal keeps telling me i am NOT HITTING my PROTEIN grams. and a guy friend suggest I need to add more PROTEIN POWDER (i just cannot chew that much protein in a day). I added Vanilla flavored protein powder into my morning coffee....it is so good!!! i love it. it 's like one of those 8$ coffee drinks w/out all the sugar and fat. omgosh, why did i not think of this earlier!

i have a few days until vacation and i am going to tan and spin everyday. Spin bothered my ankle a bit so i am going to wrap it next time

[bikeral]

Glad to hear that GGR. I've never tried the coffee like that. I've been drinking it black these days.

Just had 2 FULL recipes of Protein Blueberry pancakes. Gonna roll out to the backyard now.

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ must be really good all - u bulking guys luv the protein pancakes!!! i just had sushi and couldn't stop. i am waiting for the rice bloat! LOL

let me know what u think of the protein coffee if u happen to try it!

[--->>405<<---]

^^^ must be really good all - u bulking guys luv the protein pancakes!!! i just had sushi and couldn't stop. i am waiting for the rice bloat! LOL

i will be happening to try it and i will def let u know! i dont know why i never thought of it either. i need to get some vanilla protein powder! i LLLOOOVVVEEE my am coffee! sometimes i go to the store and buy another cup but its not as good as the kind i get from home. i grind my own. 8oclock coffee

does the protein powder mix in well? maybe cuz its hot? typically when i make a protein drink i have to shake it to get it smoothe. i cant see myself shaking my coffee. also i suppose it thickens it a bit like maybe one of those cappuccinos from the store?

i luv coffee too and is one of the few things i will not give up! i like 8 oclock too and grind my own on the weekends. during the week i drink the crappy stuff at work

protein powder mixes OK and it does thicken. i would be willing to shake my coffee, but i don't mind the lumps too much. i just scoop em out with a spoon...so much better than creamer...sooooo much better and thirlled to be getting in the protein!!!!

[--->>405<<---]

^^ ill be trying some when i get home from work today..

i suppose i shoulda said my wife grinds my coffee. while shes fixing all my other food in the am im either asleep or doing cardio..

Looks like you are getting serious with ya diet again, go head!

You are probably going buy new skirts, in which, you will need new shoes!

Sounds like a win/win!

yes i am...i see u been to the lounge????

it's boot season!!! hahahaha. any reason to stop into DSW is all right by me.

[--->>405<<---]

well GGR the coffee didnt work out too well. my wife got a big laugh at me. remember where i said u mite be able to shake the coffee? uh... yeh.. that doesnt work! i put the coffee in a big tupperware container (the nice kind with the 4 fold down sides with rubber seals) and started shaking. immediately there was a whooshing sound and coffee shot out all 4 sides and all over me and the floor and in the air! my wife got a great view and laughed and laughed at me

needless to say the protein didnt mix well so i had to pour the coffee thru a strainer into my cup. i added my creamer and sweetener but i think some of the protein made it in there. tastes really good!

back to the drawing board!

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ oh my how about a blender? let's try that!
