4:10 KPC in its entirety. Had to modify the pike with just rolling the knees in but I guess I better work on the core more since it looks like Cathe is making us hold ourselves up in Core Max.

B - scrambled eggs w/asparagus, pierogies
S - graham crackers, piece of cheese
L - green salad with chicken
S - apple, cheese (forgot my nuts so have to switch around the snacks)
D - ? Have no clue since we have nothing out to eat so hopefully it will be something healthy.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Talk to you on Monday.

I have Imax2 on the calendar for my workout on Saturday.

I need some advice on my eating plan. Ideally I would like to lose 14 pounds. My old scale underestimated how much I weighed, checked with dumbbells, so I bought a new one. Little did I know that it was off by 5 pounds. Here is what my plan looks like right now. I plan to fully implement it on Monday, but I can tweak it if you all deem necessary.

M1~7 a.m. - Breakfast Casserole (got recipe months ago from
Lean&Strong Forum when I was trying BFL)

M2~11 a.m. - Salad w/Grilled Chicken & Low Fat Ranch or Fat-Free
Italian Dressing

M3~2 p.m. - Wheat 6" Sub with 2 slices lean roast beef or ham w/1
slice low-fat swiss cheese

M4~6 p.m. - Whatever is on the menu for dinner, consists of
vegetables, lean protein, and carb, some meals are from EFL

9 p.m. - Exercise

Do I need a meal right before or after I exercise? Maybe a fruit smoothie with protein powder added. As you can tell I like BFL and I kind of follow it, but I have realized that I need to tweak it so it can work for me. Please give me criticism on how I need to change this. Thanks!

Edited to add: I also plan to drink LOTS of water.
 
Hi! sorry to jump in here -is this forum open to new people? I need some accountability!!! Do you have a basic formula you started with -I have been reading a while and I notice 6 meals a day ect. I think eating right is the key if you want to really change/ build your body.

thanks!

Hi Mel,
You can join, it is open to everyone.

I personally eat 5 meals because I find I cannot last til Lunch or Dinner with something in between. It keeps me from getting tired, sluggish and overly hungry.

Welcome,
Rhonda
 
Great. Thanks. :) How/what do you list -meals you plan to eat that day or meals from the previous day? And your work out?

Hi Kristi, the meal plan looks great but I think you are missing your fruits. I know you wrote about a fruit smoothie so maybe you can blend most of them in that. That breakfast casserole looks interesting. Is the recipie still available? Good luck, Lisa
 
Welcome Kristi and Mel! :) Kristi, your menu looks great! Mel, I like eating 5-6 smaller meals because it keeps my energy level even and I can make better food choices if I'm not starving by the time I eat.

I got up late and only had time for the cardio section of CTX 10*10*10. I'll make up for it this weekend though, LOL!

Mel,

The meals and workouts are for the day we are posting.

Thanks everyone! I just noticed the missing fruit as well. I will add a piece of fruit to one of my meals or add the smoothie.

Here is the Breakfast Casserole Recipe:

5 slices of lean ham, chopped
chopped green onions to taste, optional
3 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns
1 1/2 cups fat free cottage cheese
1 3/4 cups reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups of egg substitute

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Spray a 9x11 pan with Pam and pour ingredients into the pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour.

Serves 6
Calories: 225
Fat: 6g
Protein: 28g
Carbs: 14g

I individually refrigerate each portion for the whole week so I can grab my breakfast and go. My 2 year old LOVES it too.

HI all! Last night I ate an aplle for my meal #6. I was too hungry not to eat something.

B- egg white omlette
L- chicken with green beans
S- myoplex light shake
D- I'm not sure what to have for dinner just yet. I'm going to have to go chekc the freezer and figure out it quickly here.
S- Apple

I have found that if I don't east my morning snake I'm famished by 7:30, and an apple helps me get over that hunger. Plus i really like Apples.

For a workout today I'll probably do Rhythmic Step.

Kathy
 
Hi everyone!

Here's todays plan:

1- egg whites and 2 slices turkey bacon
2- apple and peanut butter
3- chicken breast and brussel sprouts
4- orange
5- Which would be better, an Atkins low carb pizza or a Lean Cuisine pizza? this is my "treat" tonite. Plus low carb Ben and Jerrys.

Workout is my new HSTA I just got. Can't wait!
 
Hi Cbelle! You need to check first the calories & next fat calories & then make your choice from the labels. Enjoy!! Kathy:D
 
are the calories and fat more important than the carbs? One has lower cals and fat but the other has lower carbs
 
Cbelle its the fat calories that count the most not the carbs. So chose the one that has fewer fat calories. Happy eating! Kathy:D
 
1 - Smoothie with nonfat plain yogurt, blueberries, flax, protein powder, raw oatmeal
2 - protein bar
3 - chicken breast, green beans, small baked potato with nonfat topping
4 - cottage cheese, apple
5 - not sure yet? Big piece of Lean protein and fibrous carbs

Did a bodypump this am, a class at my gym with my pal

Snitched on some brownies..but they were lowfat. Did a mix with substituting 2 eggwhites for each egg, and then yogurt for half the oil. They turned out GREAT!

Probably will do cardio on the weekend as all my trainig was with weights this week. Between PS series and my bodypump class, I hit each muscle group 2x which is unusual for me. I have been starving! Really trying to keep my protein up there in each meal...20 to 30 g. Did you guys SEE how much protein is in cottage cheese? It is packed!

Have a good weekend.
