I coulda done it on the 12th....Really!. Somehow I miscounted that day and only realized my error the next morning when I entered what I had eaten in my food log. What a Doof.

I'm ACTUALLY thinking about the anabolic diet at this point... I really need to get my calories up to a "normal" level, and I think the fat feast would get it there.
This delayed period is fucking with my hormones ... the cravings are back and have been hitting in the mid-afternoon (as before) ... SHIT!!! So eating has not been perfect the past few days ... I'm at a loss as to what to do ... I guess if it's not here by Monday (10 days late) then I'll call my doc ... I'm a raving bitch right now ... and I have insomnia ... ARGGGGHHHH!!!!!!
Julie, this is by far the most overtly premenstrual post I have EVER seen from you...
Hope that bitch mother nature gives you a break. I hate her, too...
Count me in on a dietary compliance challenge. I'm travelling this week too, but I need to get my ass back on track....

OK ... so how will this work? I have a compliance chart (modified tracker from the 61 day challenge) all linked in my siggie, and my diet outlined in the first post in my log ... is that good enough or do you need it more concise than that LD?
Tina, yes ... STILL F'ing PREMENSTRUAL BITCH FROM HELL!!!! But now I have a headache (lovely) ... the cravings were a lot less today, and I slept well last night, all signs that AF should be here soon!!!!

I feel your pain, Julie. I've realized just how much AF really f'cks with my back. Now that it's almost gone?....my back feels absolutely normal again. It's as if it never happened. What's up with that???!!!
I'm in on the new challenge, too. Just don't know what I'll do yet. I do know that I just want to get back on track with my workouts and goal tracking that was going so well before my back revolted. I haven't even tracked my eats for the past few days. Mostly clean except for a couple cheats....man, were they good!

Okay. I'm thinking that in order to be in on this, the diet has to be tough. If you can just do it, then just do it. If the thing is so hard that you almost cry at the thought of eating like that to reach your f'ing goals, then sign up.
If you can get it down to a formula or rules that we can all see and get and get behind, then sign up. My last diet plan (the start of my 21 days of crappy eating) would not have passed muster. "Relax about my diet" is not a diet plan. It's a holiday. Maybe it's necessary, but it's still not eligible.
If you can somehow log/track your food, macros, calories and the times when you aren't compliant, and post all that here, then sign up.
It's 6 weeks. Just STRICT dietary compliance, for this one. Starts Tuesday. I should make Tina post the new thread since she's got the toughest diet going. The Anabolic Diet. She's going to kick her own ass for the next two weeks on the break-in for the AD, so don't be messin' with her.
It ends a day or so before Halloween. You can eat candy or not, two days later. Until then, don't. Or don't plan to, so when you do, you will lose the challenge.
Rant over.
My kids won't stop talking. All day. constantly. About nothing at all, mostly. It must stop. It has effected my mood and patience levels to the extreme. They are talking to me now. I just told them that they can keep talking, but that I can't afford to pay attention anymore. Yet, they continue. 2nd rant over.
I'll think about this tomorrow so I can come up with quantifications for what I want to do..... I should be able to post from the airport, but it'll give me something to at least think about on the way across town.

I don't think this applies to me ... so count me out. I'll just keep doing my own thing ... Have fun!

Missed a perfect run by 1 serving of either fruit or vege.....
I'm going to sit out the next challenge. After working through individualization in PN, I have my diet right where I want it, including my sat/poly/mono fat splits, and participating would result in something very similar to this challenge. I'll either nail it or miss it by an insignificant hair. I really don't need another place to log this stuff either. Besides...... Gotta give everyone else a chance to win...

I'm in the same boat as Stingo. For a while the scale wasn't budging at all, now I've actually gained another pound for a total of 5 pounds in the past two weeks. I have no idea why and I want to automatically attribute it to the increased calories, but I don't know if that's accurate. I'm feeling a little lost with my nutrition right now. Plus, I'm still not quite back full swing with my workouts. So, I think until I feel settled in again, and completely back to normal, I'm out, too!
But, it will be fun watching from the sidelines. I'll be here to root you all on!

Aw hell, I can do this crap. Hell, when you've lived on 800 or fewer (some were only 400) for a few months, it makes strict eating seem easy by comparison. Besides, my continuing-to-spread ass MUST BE STOPPED!
6 weeks?
ok, I'll have to come up with a decent plan tonite.
Actually, this is about what I need to really get a nutrition plan. So far I've been a little (read: lot) lazy about planning.
so, are we saying this is a no cheat at all thing, super strict meals? or is it a strict meal compliance and you're allowed a scheduled cheat meal? trying to figure out how to work this, there's a birthday coming up soon.
Do we have to have all elements?
compliance, macros, calories, times, etc....
Besides, I was overly stressed by children when I wrote that. I thought your plan was pretty good. What's the rub?
No rub really ... just that my plan is not insane or anything ... and not particularly difficult (except that it means avoiding the chocolate and cookies and potato chips ) ... I just felt stressed that my plan wasn't tough enough or difficult enough, and I don't need more stress ... so I'll just play along at home ... it's fun to watch you grapple with Tina and Jill anyways!! Except maybe Tony will join in this time with some really great trash talk!!!
And remember, I don't have a fat-loss goal right now ... just a get healthy goal ...

We can discuss the rules over there, too, but I think compliance to the diet is key. If you go to a party and eat badly, that's going to bring down your percentage. We'll have to figure the specifics, since some diets allow x number of free meals, others make you wait until two weeks for a free day. My diet, for instance, has no free meals, but after the workout on friday, I get to eat lots and lots of carbs. lots. But, if I eat a potato tonight, I'm hosed and my percentage of compliance will go down.
Here's what I wrote before.
Quote:
Maybe we could track the percentage of days on target (calories +/- and the percentage of meals on target (6 feedings per day * 21 days is 126 feedings, minus 9 blow its = 93% meal compliance). Add them up to see who comes out higher.
The two seem too close to the same thing, huh? But, it seems that you could be compliant with each and every meal and still be over or under your calories, carbs, protein, etc. on that day.
My diet is low carb during the week, but there's a cal limitation for the day. Also, number of meals is variable. I do 4 or 5, so the percentage of meal compliance would be adjusting on the fly. Not the end of the world.
I realize this post was from a year ago, but I'm new here and I can definitely relate to the topic. Though I started my 'new' fit lifestyle about 5 weeks ago, I can see how it's taken longer than 21 days to form habits. It's a total lifestyle change and change is hard for me to begin with.
Anyway, since tomorrow is a Monday (even tho this post is old), I figured I'd give it a shot...for the next 21 days, I'm going to work on eating even more cleanly and will try to form a regular bed-time routine (since I've been working out, it seems I need more sleep anyway...)

A good bump is always welcome!
Let us know how the next 21 days (and the next) goes for you.
