I think it's possible that you could be sore from the foam rolling, although it's usually a different kind of sore. I'm usually sore from a deep tissue massage - but I love them!
I never thought about subtracting the fiber. I wonder if daily plate does that. hrmmm...
You can be sore from mobility work and foam rolling ... just keep at it!!
And FWIW in my program from Leigh, she does NOT have me subtract out the fiber from my carb grams as fiber does have some calories ... IMO it's just minutae ... don't sweat it in other words!!

It looks to me like you've done a great job of staying on track and keeping up the rest and the diet. It's hard to trust that what you're doing is important, particularly during rest periods.
I'll echo others' advice to try not to self-diagnose your problems too much. It's easy to think too much and worry. Stay the course, follow your plan, and your body will come along with you. Odds are very very high that everything is normal.

Keep at it and let us know how it goes.

Thanks Brent! I am a huge over-analyzer and worrier. It really helps to have you all to reassure me.

Okay, good to know about the foam rolling and mobility work. Thanks guys! Even though I know better, I will admit to a slight panic that I'd become grossly out of shape in the past month and would now be physically destroyed by 20 golfer's pickups.
Thanks for the letting me know about the fiber, Julie! I had no idea that it had some calories.
I think what fitday does is count the calories, but does not include those as a percentage of the carbs. So if I have 155g carbs and 155g protein, but 30g fiber, my carb percentage might be 30% and my protein percentage might be 40%. (This is how I noticed it in the first place - the grams were the same but the percentages different.) Does that make sense? I don't know if that is ideal or not, but I think it's probably fine either way, like you said.
Do you like dailyplate, Jes? What do you use, Julie?
Mobility Work/Foam Rolling/Stretching: Did mobility work and stretching. Foam rolling is only three times a week, so I took yesterday off.
Food:
1686 calories
52g fat
156g carbs/30g fiber (1/2 whole wheat english muffin and some sweet potato for starch)
158g protein
When I was in GNC last night, I made an impulse purchase and got this Cinnamon Roll protein powder. I made a shake this morning with water, ice, and a packet of stevia and it was pretty vomit-worthy. Has anyone else used this stuff? Do you like it? I wanted to love it, and I'm hoping it's just my poor execution of shake creation.
Sleep: 7.5 hours. Have decided to cut down and go with only 1/2 Rozerum tonight. If I am up all night, Abe Lincoln will miss me.
Water/sodium: Sodium under control. Water still high, but better.
Okay, the serving size for the BCAAs is six of those capsules. For those of you that take them, how many do you take and how many times a day?
Emotionally: All over the place. Seriously.
Half the time I am feeling SO READY to workout. I've been getting headaches in the afternoon and I think it's because I don't really leave my desk all day. I used to work out either at lunch or at 3pm, but obviously have been skipping it for the past month. I decided to go for a walk around the block at noon and 3pm and see if that helps.
The other half of the time, I'm really nervous about exercising again. I'm worried that I'll suck at it now, that I'll hate it now that I've had a chance to get the crazy kool-aid out of my system, or that I'll let it get completely out of hand again.
Today I decided to design my lifting program for the last four weeks of the program. I'm lifting on Monday! Yay! She prescribes the sets, reps, and rest, but we get to pick the exercises. These are my favorite ones, so they're what I picked.
Compound - Lower:
Reverse Lunge
BSS (it's a love/hate relationship)
Compound - Upper:
Neutral Grip Shoulder Press
Bent Over Rows
Push-ups
Core:
Reverse Crunch
Swiss Ball Jacknifes
Geez I am long-winded today. I should probably go do some work.
I do like the daily plate over fit day (and am a gold member of TDP) I found it much harder to find foods on fit day with all those NFSW or whatever it was on there. There isn't that on the daily plate, however users can create foods so you still need to check the stats
I feel the same as you about the working out. One minute I'm ready and the next I am freaked the hell out. I can still feel the desire to get sucked into it, and it's kinda scary. I dunno, I'll just have to stick to the plan of the days on and off so I don't get carried away. No extra credit workouts!
Ok, BSN is all really sweet. I wouldn't put the stevia in there, and I would consider using milk instead of water. It makes a very thick shake, but if you toss in ice, it would help. I bought the sample packets and didn't like the cinn roll, so I didn't buy the big one of it, but I know a lot of people like that flavor. If you eat oatmeal, it is pretty tasty in there - I use half a scoop for that. Consider mixing it half and half with a vanilla flavored powder, I think it would take the edge off. The vanilla and choco coconut BSN is good, but I decided to get the true protein for my next batch of powder because of the fake sugars in BSN. I still have some left over of each, so I'm sure I will use those up as they weren't cheap!
And a side note about the Stevia - I'm not trying to freak you out, but I have read several things about reproductive health and stevia. I pasted a bit below that's pretty neutral about the findings. Normally I don't think it's a big deal, but since you're trying to get preggers, you might want to consider moving it out of the diet until that's taken care of
Reproductive problems: European scientists cite potential adverse side effects to the male reproductive system. When fed high doses of stevioside for nearly two years, sperm production in male rats was noticeably reduced and the weight of seminal vesciles declined. Likewise, when female hamsters were fed large amounts of a stevioside derivative called steviol, their offspring were found to be fewer and smaller. Again, it should be noted that this has been neither tested nor proven in humans.
How come the sleep aid? I've never needed one so seeing that is new territory for me. I had some trouble once but then I cut out caffeine after about 5 and have never had a problem since.

x2 on the cutting back on coffee making a massive difference in sleeping. Figured out 1/2 pot a day is pretty much all I can handle consistently. A little more now and then but after a couple of day's it kills me.
Cinnamon roll drink SOUNDS gross. All I can think of is eating a cinnabon and drinking a huge glass of milk and getting that burp upchuck going on.
The reality is that in small amounts it isn't going to hurt you. If you are using a cup or more a day, then you might have a problem!!

I have also tried DietPower, which was okay but harder to input items. I loathe Fitday. It just isn't set up well for me.

Marty,
How has the hunger level been so far? And out of curiousity, how does your starting calories (from the first two weeks) compare to what you were eating while exercising in your former life?
Based on my general desk-jobbyness my activity level was set to 1.2 (sedentary, but I did not take the big quiz that you did) so despite the fact I'm the same size as you, I did 1070 the first two weeks and now I'm at 1180. Do I need to mention that I'm hungry all the time? Leigh says this is good, but whoa....
Even when I get up to the pig-out week, my range is "only" 1850-2250 - not that huge of a number, all things considered. I might need to repeat the REPAIR program, which is scary in many ways, especially for the lack of running.
I echo your up and downs with working out. I don't think the first two weeks are the hardest - that's happened before with injury. Its just keeping going... the third week, the fourth, etc.
Let's hang in there! I want to fix my girlie processes and grow some bone, so I need to stick with you and ride it out. We ARE strong!

No, it really IS disgusting. There's no saving it.

Hi Gabe! My shrink put me on some meds back in January to get my anxiety under control and help with ceasing and desisting from the daily 10 mile runs.
For the two weeks after he first put me on it, I did not sleep more than three hours a night. I was up all night, wide awake, and then would be exhausted and miserable at work all day. During that time I gave up caffeine completely in the hopes that it would help. (It didn't.) He put me on Rozerum and told me caffeine was okay until 2pm. It worked great, but he hinted in the last appointment that it was probably time to try weaning myself, especially if I get knocked up (effects on pregnant women haven't been studied).

You're welcome
Oh My God
I love the burp upchuck description. I always say "vurp" - like vomit/burp. I also enjoy the word "shart," which I learned from fellow runners - when you think you are just going to pass a little gas and end up with a full pair of underroos. Luckily, this has never happened to me. Not that I would probably write about it if it did!

Hi Tina! First, thanks for reading! And second, thanks for letting me know I shouldn't waste my time trying to make it drinkable. I hate to just throw the whole tub away, but ... I might have to.

I found that stevia information so interesting! See, I just assumed that (like the article says), since it's "natural" it must be better than Equal or Splenda. It doesn't seem like it really matters either way, that all have their positives and negatives. I like the taste of Equal much better, so maybe I'll split it 50/50 between the two?
Okay, I'm going to check out both of your tracking plans. Fitday works fine for me, but there are definitely things I don't like about it. Jes, I laughed out loud at the NSFW thing. I hate the not specified crap too (vs Not Safe For Work - I was thinking of food porn, hee hee).
And Jes, I need to remind myself about no extra credit workouts too. I can already see my mind going there. This log is what saves me - I don't want to lie to the log, because that's dumb, and I don't want to have to tell you guys I didn't follow the program, so.... I follow it.

Mobility Work/Foam Rolling/Stretching: Done, done, and done.
Really enjoyed the foam rolling this time, especially IT Band and my back.
Food:
1695 calories
57g fat
147g carbs/30g fiber (1/2 whole wheat english muffin for starch)
174g protein
Sleep: 6.5 hours. I pulled the trigger on the 1/2 Rozerum and got to sleep fine and made it through the night until 5:30am. Then I woke up and there was no getting back to sleep. I cuddled with the cat for awhile and then got up and did some stuff around the house. Will see how it goes tonight.
Water/sodium: Both reasonably good. Will get anal with the sodium numbers again today, just to make sure I'm still on track.

You could always use it as an excuse to get a weekly massage or something equally relaxing. I hope you get that one figured out. Pregnacy looks like it sucks enough while being able to sleep. I can't imagine what's like if you're having insomnia through the whole deal.

I've just found out that the nearest city is getting a Target so I'll soon be able to buy a foam roller -- can't wait! (Yes, I know I can buy them online but I want to fondle them in person first. ) (I've not been able to find them locally but I heard that Target sells them.) (And just to have 3 parentheticals in one paragraph. )
Looks like you have been dealing with things really well. I know what you mean about the fear of losing your workout abilities and fitness levels. I would not worry about it at all. I honestly feel that once you get back at it you will hit the levels you were at before and soon surpass them. This time though with a clearer objective to them. Its nice to be able to do things for yourself and out of the enjoyment of it rather then the nagging feeling that if you don't you will gain weight or that your not doing enough. Your on the right path!!

I dunno about you, Marty, but this sums up everything that I want with this program!
I'm also with you on the feeling huge today. All my numbers are up today (probably hormones), but it's miserable. I hate that feeling, but it could be gone tomorrow (fingers crossed), so I try not to dwell. Doesn't usually work though!

Funny you should mention massage. I'm getting one tonight! I'm so excited and have been looking forward to it all week.

Yes - that does sum up everything I want from this program! To be able to go for a run for fun instead of the fact that it burns 356 calories? You're absolutely right about the clearer objective, T!
Mobility Work/Foam Rolling/Stretching: Done, done, and done.
Okay, I'm a convert on the mobility work and foam rolling. At the beginning of the week, it sort of seemed like pointless hooey, but now I really like it.
Food:
1687 calories
51g fat
145g carbs/31g fiber (1/2 whole wheat english muffin for starch)
170g protein
The details, just for fun -
7:30am - 1/2 whole wheat English muffin w/peanut butter, protein shake w/peanut butter
11am - Fage 2% yogurt, strawberries, carrots
2pm - Salad with shrimp and homemade dressing, hardboiled egg, cottage cheese
5pm - Broccoli, avocado, salmon cup
8:30pm - Florida Fish Chowder, sweet potato with butter, broccoli
10:30pm - protein shake w/peanut butter and 1/2 banana, Oikos 0% yogurt
82% whole foods, 81% high quality protein
Sleep: 7.5 hours. Night 2 of the reduced dose of Rozerum went very well.
Emotionally: Very positive today! I only have two more days of lower calories, and then I'm up to "normal" for me, albeit with a lot more exercise that I will be doing next week. And ... I get to exercise next week!
In honor of having only two more really hungry days, here is a list of what I plan to consume during Stuff Your Face Week (I plan to eat healthy most of the time, but one treat a day won't kill me):
"Virgin" McFlurry - a McFlurry with none of that stuff stirred in. Basically it's a McDonald's Ice Cream Cone x 4.
Cake donut from Dunkin' Donuts - Even when I would get donuts before, I would never let myself have cake donuts - even though I really like them - because they have 100 more calories than normal donuts. How stupid.
I am so with you on the donut thing! I would look up the nutrition info on the internet and only let myself have the lowest calorie one.
I just got my foam roller last night. I like it despite the pain. I was never into that stuff either, but in my phone consultation with Leigh, she told me I really need to focus on mobility drills, stretching and foam rolling. I'm impressed with how good it feels when you're done. Did you say you are going to talk to her too?
OMG, I'm totally compiling a list of stuff your face week things. Ice cream is right at the top too! Where I work is nuts, there's a ben and jerry's around the corner, haagen daaz across the street and a dunkin donuts/baskin robbins on the corner! Thankfully they are in the opposite direction of where I walk all the time, but geez. It's a killer when it's hot out!
I'm glad to hear eveyone is liking the mobility stuff. I've been looking forward to it since my back has been hurting and I love to stretch.
Yay! on getting to work out next week. I'm sorta' excited about that too

I love, love, love ice cream! My three favorite foods are fruit, ice cream, and toast. In that order. So I like my carbs. hee hee
That sounds so tempting to work next to all those ice cream places! A pinkberry knockoff is opening across the street from my work this summer. Going to be dangerous.

I know! If we're going to have a donut, we should at least get what we want. Life's too short.
I really like the foam rolling too, especially on my back. I like this self-massage stuff, way cheaper!! hee hee I am going to talk to her during the last week of REPAIR about maintenance. I am really excited! I'm glad that your talk with her was really helpful.
I decided to post this a day early since we're going to be in NYC this weekend for a wedding. All I care about is a) going to Pinkberry and b) seeing the Sex and the City movie. Wedding, eh.
Prepare, in review:
Compliance:
Mobility/foam rolling/stretching: Done each day. As I said yesterday, I'm a convert now. I will probably keep doing these every day until the end of the program.
Food: With the notable exception of Carbfest 2008 (aka Sunday), I was perfect on the food. (I still have to do today, though. With NYC. With Pinkberry.
Sleep: Two nights short of 7 hours - one because of the Rozerum dosage change, one because we're flying to NYC this morning and I had to get up at the buttcrack of dawn. Will nap later.
Water/sodium: Same as always. Sodium good, water high.
Results:
Weight, inches, and Omron are about where they were when I started REPAIR. This makes me nervous as I'm about to start eating a whole hell of a lot more. Oh well. Bring on the food!
I would, for the first time in 3 years, say that my body temperature and digestion are "normal". I'm using the quotes because I mean normal for me - I was always a little on the cold side, and I still am, but the difference is just amazing. Bathroom habits are completely normal.
I'm feeling less fatigued, no dizzy spells. When I'm hungry, I feel normal hungry, not like I'm going to pass out.
I went through and retook the second half of the metabolism level test in the book, just for fun. A lot of my C's about how I feel physically are now A's and B's.
So, we're back from NYC! We had a good time other than getting into a car accident in the cab 15 minutes after arriving there. Lesson learned: always wear your seatbelt in the backseat of a cab. I slammed into the divider but am fine besides a few cuts and bruises.
Rest is finally over! On to Activity!
Here is what I'll be trying to hit for next week in terms of food:
1952 calories
about 195g protein
about 65g fat
about 146g carb (200ish calories from starch)
Activity:
Did my first aerobic day, consisting of 30 minutes of light jogging in Central Park.
10 minutes warming up by walking to park from the hotel
Mobility work in the park
30 minutes light jog
20 minutes cool down walking back from park to hotel (got lost)
I was really nervous about this run, that I might have lost all my fitness and running ability in the last month. Have I mentioned I tend to be anxious and neurotic? Anyway, it was totally fine. Not easy, but not especially hard either.
Here is the only thing that was different - the itching. Oh My God the itching. I don't know what was going on in my lower body, but it really itched the whole time I was running, and it would stop as soon I dropped back to a walk. Yuck yuck yuck.
Food:
Did I mention we were in NYC for a wedding? Well, it was last night. Let's just say I didn't feel I could say no whenever the groom ordered me whiskey shots. Yuck yuck yuck again.
1948 calories
57g fat
143g carbs/20g fiber (dinner roll for starch)
128g protein
54g alcohol
Pre-workout nutrition was nothing. (Usually if I do a short run first thing in the morning, like this one, I do it on an empty stomach.) Post-workout was scrambled eggs, coffee, and a pinkberry.
Sleep: 8ish hours. Didn't sleep well. See the aforementioned whiskey shots.
Water/sodium: No idea.
Probiotics/enzymes/fish oil/multivitamin/BCAAs: Taken haphazardly. Did manage to take BCAAs immediately after the workout.
Emotionally: Had a nice trip, glad to be home.
Obviously, I will be sticking to the plan better now that I'm home.
Nice run!! I bet felt great to get the legs moving again. I don't know how you could have run after a night of whiskey shots. The thought of whiskey makes me want to throw up a little. Rather get my liquid carbs from good beer.
Linear Mode
