Ya, just under 10 wks out. I think that I panic because it seems the more I diet, the harder it is, and slower the results are to show.

I'm impatient! :worried:

It sucks but that is how it is with dieting. However you'll drop 4-8 pounds the last 2 days when dropping water....remember that!
 
didn't weight myself today, will tomorrow. I'm going to check weight prior to making a few changes..start carb cycling.

#1 1/2c oats, 5 egg whites
#2 3oz chicken, 100g asparagus, 1/2oz almonds
#3 2c salad, 1.5oz avocado, 1 can low sodium tuna
#4(pre w/o) 100g lean gr turkey, 1/2c quinoa, 100g gr beans

Chest -8 sets, 15 reps
Biceps- 12 sets, 15 reps
30 mins cardio

#5(post wo) 1 sc protein, 2 rice cakes
#6 4 egg whites w/ 1 tbsp salsa

Cal's- 1340, Fat-33g, Carb-105g, Pro 156g

no appetite today, kinda tired and had a headache through my workout, but still pushed through it
Trying to keep on track to make sure I eat enough, but I just don't feel like eating late at night...
 
So the past couple of days haven't been the greatest for me,in regards to energy and mood. As a result, my training and diet haven't been on track, however still no cheating!
(mainly because I removed anything associated with peanut butter or chocolate from my house!)

Thursday-
Cal's-1244, Fat-31g, Carb-95g, Pro-154
Cardio, 40mins

Friday-
Cals-1176, Fat-24g, Carb-106g, Pro-138g
Rest day
*cal's are really low here, but I had no energy to do anything, even eat. I work up deciding that I was going to hate the world! lol.....just one of those days*

As far as weight, I'm at 129lbs but feeling bloated. I have a feeling that pms is the culprit here.....and reason that my "scale weight" isn't changing.
I am starting to see changes in my upper body, abs are popping out and delts starting to look at little more defined.
 
This morning woke up feeling in a much better mood and hit the gym for 35mins of cardio, felt good....needed some ME time :)
Today I am going to start carb cycling and really focus on making sure that I take in enough calories everyday.

Cal's 1438, Fat-70g,Carb 49g,Pro-160g

intense leg day!

I use salsa(low sodium) &/or hot sauce for my main condiment on pretty well everything. A friend of mine INSISTED that if you are trying to lean out anything with tomatoes is a complete no-no. Her reasoning what due to the sugar's in tomatoes.
Not sure if I can really buy this theory....they have great nutritional value, I'm not sure if the amt of sugar in the tomatoes would really hinder weight loss.
Anyone else have thoughts on this??

I dont buy that theory on tomatoes but maybe its just me.

Hope this helps a little.

--------------------------

Tomatoes
Diet Nutrition

Tomatoes are high in the antioxidant vitamins beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as the carotenoid lycopene. This means that tomatoes are helpful in preventing heart disease and cancers. Tomatoes are also high in potassium but very low in sodium which means they help combat high blood pressure and fluid retention.

Unlike some other canned foods, canned tomatoes retain most of their nutrients. In fact, cooked or canned tomatoes contain more lycopene than raw tomatoes. If buying canned tomatoes choose varieties without added sodium.

Calories in Tomatoes:
4 oz/100g = 17 calories
 
I know your probably worried about fruits because of sugars, but if you like to take them around w/o...watermelon has more lycopene in it then tomatoes, watermelon also acts a a vaso-dilator.

Lycopene has a lot of studies that show its good for weight loss.
 
Tomatoes are technically a fruit....not a vegetable. Yes the sugar content is higher BUT you are not getting ready for a bodybuilding contest and you don't need to be uber lean.

A few tomatoes here and there are fine!
 
an apple is what, 50 calories??, isn't the average fruit under 70 calories per serving??

but the outcome of eating fruit far outweighs the bad... balancing ur ph.. giving ur body the micronutrients needed.. anti-oxidants.. phytonutrients..

eat fruit guys.. dont eat 10 pieces of fruit a day.. i try to get in at least 2 pieces of fruit in every day..
 
since my pms is now gone, much better mood, and bloating is starting to decrease
Yesterday was a good day, keep on track with meals and I'm starting to see my lower abs and vascularity in lower abdomen as well
Low carb day,
Cal-1507, Fat-73g, Carb-50g, Pro-170g

Btw, I'm keeping the tomatoes in my salad....I just can't bare to go without them!
