Have home elliptical, few dumbells 3/5/8/10/15,bodylastic bands.

(Good choices, good spacing of the Fruit)

10:00 Protein-1 c Lowfat Organic Yogurt
Carb-3/4 c Yoshi Go Lean Cereal (I'd aim for about 20g Protein at leats here, so I think that meal is okay, if the Protein is good enough)

12:45 Fruit-1 c blueberries
1:15 Protein-1 c Lowfat Organic Cottage Cheese
Carb-3/4 c Oatmeal (Cottage Cheese has quite abit of Carb anyway, so I'd skip the Oatmeal. Good Fruit spacing again.)

4:00 Veges-green bell pepper/cucumbers
Salad-Fresh greens + apple cider vinegar
Protein- 4 oz chicken breast cooked w/Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Good meal)

7:00 Veges-steamed broccolli
Salad-Fresh greens + apple cider vinegar
Protein-4 oz chicken breast cooked w/Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Good meal, but of course you can aim for variety like Turkey, Fish etc etc, rather than having the same thing twice on the spin, or cut the Protein and Carbs a bit and add things in like Beans, Peas, Lentils, Rice if you like, which have pretty good anounts of both.)

CJ's Daily Diet & Workout Journal & Goals

Post by CJ2033 »

Thank you for any comments...I want to learn to how to do this and do it!

I want to do this so bad and so I have stated goals below and want to be held accountable. I really have no one helping me, so I will use this journal as way of staying on track and proving to myself I can do this. I am so tired of trying and not getting anywhere. Honestly, I feel like a slug the weight and way I am now. Its depressing, but I will not be discouraged!I will not let being hypothyroid be an excuse, but use it as a factor for more motivation.

I will do Elliptical 6 days a week for 30 min. and have to come up with a workout plan using dumbbells/ball/bodyelastic bands. I am going to work on that this weekend.

- i don't think you need to wait that long btw fruit and food, i have them straight after each other when i have fruit
- how do you know how many cal's you're expending each session? no the machines don;t work so don;t take it into consdideration if you're trying to match cal's in vs cals out
- cearal OR yoghurt after cardio, not both
- solid protein and veg/salad for all other meals, no fruit
- are your wts heavy enough for you? if not get more
- you need to be doing sporints on that machine...even better do a variety of cardio options (elliptical, skipping, bodyweight circuits, sprints outside) as 1 mode won;t do much from adaptation
- i class yoghurt as a carb, more sugar than protein in it
- i wouldn;lt put dates on goals...what if you don't make the first one??? focus on 1 then move to the next

fruit are carbs so when you have fruit, that is your carb for that meal...meal 1 needs to be eaten WITHIN 30mins of rising...rice needs to be in post meal only...i'd try and eat again before bed

I am doing good following the food plan. The only thing I want(crave) is a 1/2 wheat bagel or toast slice with first meal of the day. I just feel like its missing from eating until finally I get to have cereal after exercise. I understand now that fruit serving is carb at the meal, but its the grain carb I want at breakfast! That's correct, right?
