Hey, I am dying here I really need some assistance to anyone willing to help...Background info.
Got pregnant 07, was 190lbs... went up to 265 right before 29 Mar 2008. Did Atkins for a year, got down to 170. Then did low cal diet consisting of 900-1100 calories a day got down to 145lbs... gained 5lbs back and now plateauing and deminishing myself with too much self critique.
I work out almost everyday (cardio, ABS, weights). I always do at least 30-60 minutes of some type of cardio (constantly changing it up, love to run (usually at a 6), eliptical (resistance of 10-15), walking on treadmill-(15-20 incline at 3.5) etc.), ABs everyday (at least 20 minutes) and weights every other day (light weights, lots of reps very little rest time inbetween). I am at a location where they dont have the 100 calorie snacks, lean cuisine or slimfast (which i lived off of for a while), sleep schedule is thrown off due to night shift so i hardly sleep. So typical day looks at follows;
Wake up @ 5:00pm
Breakfast between 6-7pm: shredded roast beef whole wheat wrap with lettuce, cheese, light mayo, hot sauce: (sometimes coleslaw): 1 1/2 cups of chopped pineapple with a 2/3 cup cool whip
Snack @ Midnight: Apple
snack @ 1 AM: cliff bar or snickers marathon bar
Lunch@ 3 AM: cliff bar with apple
4 AM Gym time: Cardio, ABs (depends on the day if i am doing weights)
Supper @ 0700: Usually either 2 packages of original quakers oatmeal (100 cal each) with splenda & a bowl of fresh up kiwi or 2 egg whites scabbled with texas pete hot sauceand a bowl of fresh kiwi
Then sleep ( depending on whats going on how "busy" I am usually asleep by 12/1 back up again at 5... Lately I have been running on 2-3 hr shifts
So I have a HORRIBLE self image of myself... Hate how I look, especially stomach with loose skin from son.. healthy weight should be in the 120's. I want to get there and I need to do it soon before self image gets worse... Anyone have anything that can help me> PS totally take hydroxycut hardcore before working out... LOVE IT!
Thank you and hope to hear from you!
