Hello Debbie

I hope you don't mind me asking you some questions. I appreciate you're very busy and everybody wants your advice, but here goes.

I often read your posts on the Hardcore Fitness Thread as well as the other ladies and you're all very dedicated and knowledgeable.

I noticed on todays post you stated you prepare your meals on the Sunday. Do you also prepare your BSN Lean Desserts then? You stated you make it with yoghurt. Would you recommend that as a way of getting your whey intake. The reason I ask is that I've just found a supplier in the uk and I've ordered a couple of tubs, the Choc Fudge an the Banana bread. Is it better with yoghurt?

Also I read on an earlier post you've read BFFM by Tom Venuto. I've also read his book and have to agree its excellent. I joined his inner circle for a time and found it very good. I may go back to that.

Also can I say you look very good for 42. I'm forty this year and I hope I look as well as healthy as you sometime soon.

Thanks again for all your advice.

Hi Laura!
I don't mind the questions at all. :)

No, I don't prepare my BSN stuff on Sundays. The only things I prepare on Sundays are my main meals: i.e chicken, soups, etc. Things that I can store for up to a week in the fridge. The night before I put a scoop of BSN in a small container, put the yogurt or oats in another and then I just mix it up when I'm at work. I mix BSN with hot oats or yogurt (greek or just plain regular yogurt) and any flavor you use is awesome. They all taste very very good. I need to supplment with BSN and ON whey to get my protein intake in. I can only eat so much chicken and eggs in a day, you know?

BFFM is my bible. I've lived by it for three years now and the results have been amazing. I can't say enough how highly I recommend this book.

Thanks for the compliment! I totally do not feel 42, that's for sure! :)

Anything else I can help you with, please ask.
 
Hi Debbie, where is this Hardcore Fitness thread mentioned? I would be interested in this.

Also, do you work out in the mornings? I am curious how much time you spend working out. I currently work out for an hour in the morings and it seems to be all I can fit in.

Thank you!
 
Hello Debbie

Could I just ask one more question?

I noticed another lady on the hardcore fitness thread and yourself are following a total body rotation at the moment. I think the lady is 'shewolf'. Please could you advise where you found this rotation.

Also have you heard of 'Weight Workouts that Work' by James Orvis.

Sorry that was two questions.

Thanks

Laura

Ashumate - You can find the Hardcore Fitness check in on the very last forum from the main forum. Here's the link to get there:

http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=9

I check in everyday on the Hardcore Fitness Maniac's checkin.

I workout during the week at 6:30 a.m. and my workouts are usually around an hour depending on what the rotation calls for. I never go over an hour.

Laura - I have the rotation, if you want it give me your email address and I'll send it to you. I'll send you the instructions and the chart that I've used.

And no, I haven't heard of Weight Workouts that Work.
 
Hey Debbie,

Hope you don't mind my asking and I hope I don't appear stupid but what is the title to the Tom Venuto book?
 
Hi Debbie, aka Fitness Freak,

If you have any time, could you read below and give me an answer?

I have read the book BFFM but have yet to put it to the test on myself. I have a real hard time lowering my body fat. I know he says you can loose fat and gain muscle at the same time but I wanted to wait until I was at goal weight before I started eating as Tom suggests. Now I think I will do it when STS comes out. Cathy and other fitness professionals say that you can't build any serious muscle unless you eat enough to support that. I have, however, successfully changed the shape of my body. I weigh 146, 5'7' and fit into size 9/10 jeans. Several years ago I weighed the same and fit into 11/12 (33% bf) jeans. I lift almost what Cathe lifts in the Gym Styles (workout 5 - 6 days per week) and still have a body fat of 28%. I hover around 27 - 28% body fat for over a year. (eat 1350 cals to 1680 per day/3 meals and two snacks. What do you think will work for me?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Pauline, Do you know what body type you are? If you are a mesomorph, then you most likely can build and lean out at the same time. I can. However, if you are an ectomorph or an endomorph, you cannot. You need to follow what Tom says to do for your specific body type.

I think you need to work out the formula for your eating, the calories you are eating seem low to me. I am 5'5" and eat around 1700-2000 when I'm bulking and around 1600-1700 when I'm cutting.
