All right, I'm starting a training/food log! I'm hoping this will make me more accountable-- mostly for the food, but also for my workouts. As a former binge eater, I struggle with the food a lot more than the workouts. Please critique, offer advice, encouragement, whatever.
I'm not a newbie to weight loss, fitness, nutrition, cardio, and weightlifting, but up until late January I had never read a weightlifting book or followed a consistent program. I was one of those low-cal girls who went from 225# to 145# by eating almost nothing and running like hell. It couldn't last.
I gained some weight back and I'm at 161# now and trying to get lean and mean the right way.
My goal is to be hard enough to be able to wear the bikini my bf bought for me when I was 145.... a bikini I refused to wear because even though I was skinnier than I'd ever been in my entire adult life, I still jiggled everywhere and felt self-conscious.
My biggest problem is that I am often tempted to give up consistent programs like this because I get impatient or bored.
Right now I am doing NROL4W. I am on the last week of Phase 1. I am trying to eat at a 300 cal deficit, but that's been tough lately.
Off Days and cardio-only days are 1680 cal/day
Weight Workout Days are 1920/day.
I track food through FitDay, and usually put in everything I plan to eat except dinner/dessert in the morning and make adjustments later on in the day if need be. Here's my URL:
