I had a lot of trouble getting fat in at first... when I started logging and checking macros (aiming for 40/30/30), my fat was around 15%!!! Best ways I've added fat are nuts and eggs (eating whole egg instead of just the white). For a shake - YUMMY shake - I do vanilla protein powder, milk (you could use water if you prefer) and about 1 or 1.5 Tbsp of peanut butter. It's DELISH!!!!
Bytsi - I put peanut butter in my shake last night, and it rocked my world. Thanks so much for the suggestion!
Two things that I am very excited about:
1) I made an appointment to talk to Leigh during my last week of REPAIR (the week of June 22nd). We are going to talk about how I will be approaching maintenance, since my former fat person's obsessive "maintenance" is exactly what got me into this situation.
2) OMG, I love both peanut butter in my shakes and avocados in my salads. You guys rock! I never try new things unless someone tells me to or suggests something. So thanks!
Nothing exciting in terms of yesterday's details:
Rest: Sat on ass. Occasionally stood up to get some food, go to the bathroom, or let the dogs out into the backyard.
Food numbers:
1628 calories
54g fat
130g carbs (1/2 whole wheat english muffin and some sweet potato for starch)
164g protein
Sleep: 8 hours.
Water/sodium: I think this might be the first day that I actually hit both of these guidelines. Rock star!
Probiotics/enzymes: Took as directed.
Quality of Food: Made the adjustments I mentioned yesterday, will look for organic cottage cheese tonight at the grocery store.
I really like reading your log. It has brought a few things to mind for me. I have a bit of the former fat person's obsessiveness. It really is almost as frustrating as it was being overweight. The thoughts of not doing enough and getting back to my old ways has always been a motivation for me. I think that is why now I love running so much and training for bigger events. It gives me something to focus on rather then obsessing on just weight.

Thanks for sharing your journey!!
Thanks, T!!
That was one great thing about running for me, too. Having events to train for made less exercise less about calories and more about another goal!
Rest: About a mile and half of city walking for commuting and getting to my dr's appointment.
Dudes, I am BORED. After a few days of rest, I started to love it and was not at all anxious to get back into exercise. Now I'm sort of starting to feel like I have some extra energy and am a little frustrated and wanting an outlet. At least next week I get to move - a little. Mobility work and stretching are on the agenda starting Sunday!
Food numbers:
1617 calories
50g fat
125g carbs (1/2 whole wheat english muffin and some sweet potato for starch)
177g protein
Sleep: 7.5 hours.
Water/sodium: Perfect on the sodium, overdid the water as per usual.
Probiotics/enzymes: Took as directed.
Quality of Food: Bought some organic cottage cheese last night with only three ingredients. Woot! The macros are good, too - for 90 calories there are 16g protein. Now I just have to see how it tastes.
Emotionally: I had a really good therapy session last night and was feeling pretty positive. Then this morning I got an email from someone I had asked about amenorrhea and she suggested I might have Premature Ovarian Failure and now I am very anxious and sort of want to barf. I've only been off the pill for two months, so I should just chill out, I know.
My in-laws are descending for Memorial Day weekend. They are very nice, but all they seem to want to do is eat and do food stuff. Here are the plans we have so far: 1) go to Home Depot and buy a new grill 2) make food on the new grill 3) bake cookies 4) go to Portillo's. Hitting the macros might be hard this weekend but I'll try to at least get the calories right.
Good luck with the in-laws. I know how that is. My inlaws idea of eating out is going to Burger king - so I can't even get something marginally healthy! At least you can grill fish and veggies which will be good for you and tasty. Corn is good too if you wrap it in some foil and put a little butter in there, very yummy.
I would not worry about what that girl thinks you have. Remember what Leigh says about all the metobolic diseases, all of them are very rare, and so is an ovarian problem at your age. Many women have problems getting their periods to return after going off the pill. Unfortunately, mine is at the other end of the spectrum, but it still results in the same issue. Just think how hard it is for Drs to diagnose you in person, let alone someone on the other side of the internets.
Let us know how the cottage cheese is and what brand it is. Also, how's the sodium on it? I've noticed that the daisy brand I get seems a little salty. I need to look at the sodium content for sure.
Here is a second on the parents coming in town and eating WAY TO MUCH. At least we are not going up home, I have a real hard time when that happens as I can't find any place to workout.
I don't have inlaws, but totally understand the eating on holiday weekends. I'm sure there will be plenty of bbqs over the weekend to indulge in. I'm hoping to have the willpower not to eat the sides or appitizers (also known as junk food and crap). I bought a watermelon, so hopefully that'll help.
I give you so much credit for making it this far without getting bored. Hang in there, you'll get to move around soon enough!
Trust me on this one. Don't stress about about stuff you read on the Internet about your health. You can find information to support whatever mood you are in. Let the doctors earn the big bucks figuring it out.
Last thing. Before I slink off into my own weekend. Enjoy the weekend. One little screw up with the diet isn't going to derail all your hard work. It's when you line those little screw ups into weeks and month that things head south.
Have a good weekend Marty.

Enjoy the time with your in-laws. Worst case scenario, you're off a little bit (or a lot). Whoop dee. With any luck they'll leave at some point and you can get back to being spot on.
Hi, just wanna pop in to say hi and let you know that I'm still reading your log every single day. I bought the book and do the exercise I'm level 2 but very inclined to level 1 (number of A's and B's I got are almost equal.) And I know I have had enough rest and proper amount of calories a few weeks before starting the plan. So I decided to jump to EAT as soon as my summer break starta (following what Leigh recommends for level 1.) I will be finishing my PREPARE state this Sunday.
So far so good I lose 3.5 lbs during my long rest state prior to buying the book. Now I'm up 2.5 lbs (which I won't put a blame on Leigh's program but on a few social events that made me miss the calorie goal for a few days.) I'm happy with it in general but a little worried that I will gain more weight as it goes on. My general health is much better, problems with constipation, skin problems, and tiredness are getting much better lately thanks to probiotics, enzyme, and more calorie intake. Taking enzyme supplement is one of the best things you can do to your health. If you happen to read Scott Abel's blog where Wade McNutt talks about the benefit of enzyme on metabolic repair, you might appreciate what these little molecules do for you.
I will keep checking in. You are not alone and you are such a good role model for me lol since I'm not that meticulous about food.

Hi Jes! Excellent idea! I'm going through Rob's grill cookbook now for vegetables he can grill for me. And luckily the in-laws LOVE meat, which I don't eat, so I can pick my own dinner. I think I am going to try Lemon Teriyaki Tofu.
The cottage cheese isn't my favorite, but it's okay! I probably just need to get used to it. The brand name is Friendship All Natural, and I got it at Whole Foods. The sodium is 360mg.
And you're absolutely right about waiting to get diagnosed in person. My appointment isn't for another month, so I'm just antsy.

Thanks T! I know what you mean, I like it when people come here better, at least that way I'm on my own turf and have access to reasonably healthy food.

Thanks Christina!! I hope you're having a great weekend. I am a big fan of filling up on fruit at BBQs and stuff. Luckily I love it, so it works out. Have fun!

Tony and Gabe, these posts made me smile and just made me feel a lot better. You're absolutely right that you can find evidence to support whatever mood you're in. And you're also right about one little screw up not breaking the bank. I need to be reminded of that.
Thanks for putting my mind at ease. You guys rock. Seriously.

Hi Wasabi! I'm so glad you checked in again! I'm glad to hear that things are going well for you. And it's really nice to know that I'm not alone, too. Jes is starting up this weekend, too, so that's three of us. I'm glad that you've been feeling better physically!
I have a hard time with social events too! I find them pretty stressful when I'm trying to watch the calories.
Are you excited to get to exercise again next week?
Rest: About a mile of city walking. Chased around a 3 year old for a couple of hours.
Food numbers:
1618 calories
48g fat
142g carbs (whole wheat english muffin for starch)
167g protein
NOTE: Calorie total does not include the splash of vodka I furtively spiked my Diet 7-Up with upon the in-law's arrival last night.
Sleep: 9 hours.
Water/sodium: Perfect on the sodium, over on the water, but better.
Probiotics/enzymes: Took as directed.
Quality of Food: On target, 85% whole foods.
Emotionally: Feeling good. Honestly, you guys - you have all made me feel so much better, both about my crazy women's troubles and about possible diet screw-ups. Thank you. Which is good because they also want to bake a chocolate blackout cake tomorrow. hee hee
Yesterday went well. I hit the calories okay but was a little low on protein. Today is going to be Carbfest 2008. My husband is making bagels right now, my sister-in-law is frosting the chocolate blackout cake, and I was informed that I would be baking bread today. (I used to bake bread a couple of times a week in my pre weight lifting days.) I'm making no-knead bread and it's rising right now. I'm taking Tony and Gabe's advice about enjoying the weekend and am banning myself from fitday today and just trying to keep things at a reasonable level.
On to a new stage today!
Eat, in review:
Compliance:
Rest: Did not exercise any more than I had to for my daily life.
Food: Did well this week; I got into the habit of planning a full day out ahead of time to so I'd be able to hit the macros. I was pretty much within 10 calories every day and right on with the macros. Thanks for all the advice on getting in fat - that really helped!
Sleep: Perfect.
Water/sodium: I have become a sodium master. However, I suck at regulating my water intake. It is far, far better than it used to be, but still generally over Leigh's recommendations.
Probiotics/enzymes: Sometimes I forget the enzymes, but for the most part, taken as directed.
Extra credit: Worked my way up to 85% whole foods, reduced reliance of protein powder.
Continued the epsom salt baths, also ate some of the recommended potassium/magnesium food sources.
Results:
Weight, inches, and Omron have all fluctuated and ended up pretty much the same as the beginning of the week.
Sleep has improved quite a bit and I don't wake up nearly as much in the middle of the night as I used to. I've also FINALLY stopped my middle of the night eating because I don't wake up starving anymore. I think it's probably time for me to pull the trigger and stop taking Rozerum. Eek.
Body temperature continues to rise. I've noticed myself actually turning off my space heater at work sometimes.
Digestion has been weird this week. Not better, not worse, just ... different. I'm going to leave it at that in case anyone's eating while reading this.
Nothing on the amenorrhea, but it's still too early.
Psychologically, I've been up and down. Mostly happy with some pockets of anxiety.
I've been doing some thinking about what I want after REPAIR is over. Before I started lifting weights, and then discovered fitness forums, I was happy with my body, and while I wasn't trying to lose weight, I wouldn't be sad if it happened. LOL. This is still pretty much how I feel, but I have a tendency to compare myself to other people and feel like most people that care about this kind of thing wouldn't be happy with my stats. (5'4" - almost, hee hee; 135ish pounds, 23% body fat according to Omron.)
I've decided, though, that what's important to me now is getting healthy and hopefully having a baby, not meeting random standards I've imagined for myself. I don't want to obsess about food and exercise, I just want to be normal and enjoy my life, while not getting fat in the process. The question now is how to make that happen. That's why I pay my therapist the big bucks. I'm really looking forward to talking to Leigh, too; I think it will really help.
Prepare (aka one more week until I get to move!)
Prepare is one week long. I will be stretching, doing the prescribed mobility work, and foam rolling.
Rob, the in-laws, and I went on a quest to four different stores yesterday looking for a foam roller. Apparently no one in Chicago foam rolls. Anyway, the only one I found is a tiny little weinie one (same width, about 12 inches long) so I'll have to do one leg/side at a time until I can get a for reals one from amazon.
Food breakdown as follows:
1697 calories
56g fat
127g carbs (30% of which must be starch)
170g protein
I'll continue to take the probiotics, enzymes, and I already take most of the supplements that she recommends starting this phase for extra credit. I do need to pick up some BCAA's today if I can escape for a bit.
I agree that this is the MUST read thread for all the "skinny fat" and "exercise phsyco" chicks and guys. There are more of us than you might think.... I can't wait to watch this progression....
I just googled Horicon. I loves me some Russ Feingold, too! He graduated from my high school, but quite a few years before I got there.
I saw you live in Albuquerque now. I've been there a bunch of times because I have a good friend that lives there - her husband works for Intel. How do you like it?
I Ah-Door Albuquerque. Gorgeous scenery, nice weather, dry air, and pretty darned good food. That's my other hobby - blogging about the food here. Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm a chile addict.
Thank you for continuing to post your progress - I am about to "graduate" to the next phase, after my first two weeks. You being about a week in front of me is *incredibly* useful. I spoke with Leigh today and she soothed my nerves and was a great grounding force in sticking with the plan.

Hi,
LMAO when you call me wasabi. I like the name lol. You can keep calling me that seriously.
Today is the first day I up my calorie for 15% in activity phase. I'm so anxious of gaining weight. I'm now eating 1640 calories. Since I'm eating so healthy, it's a lot of food. It's like I'm throwing food down my throat all day long, feel so full and bloated, but I still have a lot more calories to finish for the day. I can't imagine eating 500-600 calories more at the end of the program. It's gonna drive me nuts. And I'm so scared of the scale right now. I used to weigh in everyday at the beginning. Now I sometimes cannot make myself step onto the scale.
I know you haven't reached the point where you gotta be worried about eating to much food. I have doubts in my mind..."why am I doing this?"...Can I skip to metaburn and lose all these weights? Maybe my metabolism is not so bad. Well, it of course is that bad. If I'm gaining weight at this calorie and activity, my metabolism must have a problem. I'm so confused. I keep telling myself that maybe tomorrow morning I will step on the scale and maybe I will not see that big number. I feel physically large and, you know, it's not fun.
Sorry for the rant, I really don't know where to turn to. I know you understand what I'm talking about. I have prepared my mind to gain weight before starting the program. But when I actually have to see it on the scale, it totally numbs my brain.
You are doing so good. I will try to leave comments more often!

Your support means so much to me, Karla. I know that you've been through a lot of this yourself and I have really enjoyed watching YOUR progression over the past 4-5 months.

Hi Jes! The stretching was great and the foam rolling ... I have no idea what I'm doing there. It sort of hurt and sort of felt good, so I'm assuming that's ... good? hee hee
I'll stop by your log next to see how you're doing!

Yes - the food! Loved the Mexican food there! Last time I visited my friends was the first time I ever had Mexican food for breakfast, and I got a whole education on the different kinds of chiles.
I'm so glad that Leigh was helpful!! I can't wait to talk to her during the Reset phase. Thanks for posting your progress here, too. I really like hearing about how you're doing.
Enjoy Eat! Yay for 10% more food!

Oh. My. God. I am so embarrassed. I can't believe I read "warasa" as "wasabi" - seriously?
Thanks for being so nice about that!!
I know what you mean about being really nervous about gaining weight. Sometimes it helps me to re-read what Leigh wrote on page 90, under "A Reminder". It also helps me to re-read the client case studies; I know that if it worked for them, it should work for me too. I can't wait to be able to eat like those girls do and not have to kill myself in the gym to do it.
Hang in there - you have less than a month to go!! You're doing awesome! Keep me posted!!!!
Mobility Work/Foam Rolling/Stretching: Done, done and done. Was so freaking psyched to be doing something active I got all dressed up in my workout gear, though it proved rather unnecessary.
One question for anyone who might know - WTF is a "Charlie's Angel"? I googled it and all I got was stuff about the movies and the tv show. I ended up doing side lunges while shooting finger guns at the cat.
Also, for anyone wondering about the Golfer's Pickup, this article has a video about halfway down. There is also a dude in the background who is doing the Leg Cradles, so you can see both.
Food: Did I mention that yesterday was Carbfest 2008? I had one bagel, a small piece of no-knead bread, some grilled pizza, a small piece of blackout cake, and half a bottle of champagne swigged directly from the bottle. I am a classy girl.
I also had like 3 protein shakes and some cottage cheese to try to balance it out. I was still hungry most of the day, so hopefully I didn't overdo it. The in-laws have departed, and I've been back on the wagon today.
Sleep: Nine hours, and I've been exhausted all day. Don't know why I'm so tired.
Water/sodium: Sodium and water were both under control.
Probiotics/enzymes: Taken!
Emotionally: I am so happy to have my house back. I feel like the rest of this week will be easy now that this visit is over.
Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day!
Weight: 134.2
Waist: 26.5
Omron: Did not forget, however, too embarrassed to do in front of in-laws
Ummm, I think in-laws are exhausting. Perhaps that has something to do with it?? Just guessing
I think the foam rolling is supposed to hurt a little. Myofascial release can be painful when you get it done by a massage therapist, so I can't imagine rolling on a piece of foam is going to be much better
Warasa - I think at this point you can just take a deep breath and step on the scale OR not check again until the end of the program. Either way you don't need to the stress. I sounds like a lot of people gain on the way up to metaburn, so if you think that's really going to push you over and make you stop doing the program, then don't. Just do it and don't stress. I know I'm one to talk, but it's what I need to do.
I Ah-Door Albuquerque. Gorgeous scenery, nice weather, dry air, and pretty darned good food. That's my other hobby - blogging about the food here. Hi, my name is Andrea and I'm a chile addict.
You're so right about the food. I grew up in Las Cruces and miss all the chile. You just can't get the good stuff in Colorado. They try, but it's just not the same.
Marty, In-Laws are exhausting. But it sounds like you made it through. I'm not even going to mention my eating on Sunday. But, time to get back on the wagon. Probably for a lot of us!

In-laws ARE exhausting. I'm lucky, mine are so nice and pretty low maintenance - it's just tiring to have to be "on" all the time. I do miss my little niece now. Although chasing after her gets tiring after awhile!
Thanks, Jes! I'm glad I'm on the right track for the foam rolling!!
Is it possible to have DOMS from mobility work? Or are my hamstrings just really tight for some reason? LOL.
I did a couple of easy sun salutations. I have missed yoga!
Food: Back on the wagon!
1692 calories
47g fat
154g carbs (sweet potato for starch)
178g protein
So, at the beginning of each phase I've been calculating the target numbers, but then the fitday percentages never seem to match what I've calculated. I finally figured out that it's subtracting the fiber from the carbs and that I probably should, too. Riiiight. Anyhoo, I was a little low on fat and a little high on protein, but whatevs.
Sleep: 7 hours.
Water/sodium: Sodium under control. Water not so much.
Probiotics/enzymes/fish oil/multivitamin: Check. Didn't make it to GNC this weekend for the BCAA's, will do that on my way home tonight.
Emotionally: Happy to be back in the routine, even if that means being at work.
Enjoy the time with your in-laws. Worst case scenario, you're off a little bit (or a lot). Whoop dee. With any luck they'll leave at some point and you can get back to being spot on.
