Back to clean eating. Bulletproof coffee for breakfast, meat/veg/fat/starch for lunch, protein shake or bar/veg/fruit for snack, meat/veg/starch for dinner. We'll chill on the wine for awhile too. I'd like to see more progress on dec7th when I weigh in (and start my new prog) again!
After a couple of days of gross eating (bad but not nearly as bad as previous years in my life -- w00t w00t I think I'm improving in my old age!) it's time to straighten out again...tomorrow.
I know I was in the fence the other day but today I feel a little excited to start a more traditional bodybuilding routine now. I'll keep the circuit style but follow Jamie's Show Me The Weigh program. I may make modifications but having previewed the first two weeks, it looks fine as is. Circuits even! She always adds a post workout shake that's about 200 cal (banana, 1/4c whey, cashew milk) for extra muscle buildingness but I'm not sure if I need to do this. I feel like I'm already eating soooooo much for nursing. I guess I'll gauge it by how hungry I am.
Shall I drop one of three serving of starches? I think I shall! I'll also tighten up the list to: rice, oatmeal, beans, potatoes and yams. I'll do them meals 2 & 4.
I am SOOOOO going to cry (and then eat ALL the cookies) if I haven't made any progress at my 'weigh in' on Monday. Please, please, please...of course now that I have the exercise part down it's the food part that's going to really matter. I've been doing OK with that. I'd say I've been 80/20 with a refeed meal 1x week. As I've said before, it's tricky with breastfeeding. Gotta get enough but not too much...progress is so slow...body composition stays weird until I'm done producing milk. I do feel smaller and some of my pants don't fit so I'm clinging to that as a GOOD sign and trying to stay positive. On that note I'm going to try harder to avoid processed carbs. Here are my options: tato, yam, rice, beans...including one with each of the last three meals of my day. Boy I can't wait until 6 months when I can tighten up the diet more!
