Ultimate Dieting Challenge: a Sally-free zone

[tkinsley]

Oh, and thanks Jane--I am all over that flaxseed "bread" tomorrow.

[LisaS]

I've made something similar to that flaxseed bread in the past - it is good with cream cheese too -

Hardest thing for me (when doing what you're doing) is keeping the macros\calories right when you've got such a big swing. Time consuming more than anything.

Hey Roland, did you really only get 700 calories on Friday or did you not finish adding everything to fitday yet? I'm not familiar with Baggett's diet plan, though it seems sort of anabolic diet plan-ish.

Spot on for me yesterday:

Breakfast: eggs bacon
Lunch: leftover London Broil and veggies
Snack: Almonds
Dinner: Antipasto Salad w/ flaxseed bread

Update:

Since starting AD:
Weight down 3.1 lbs
Measures down 1/4 inch on thigh and calf, 1/8 inch on biceps, and 3/8 inch on waist.
Bodyfat down 1%

Pretty good so far!

My flaxseed muffin was like a little moonrock. I have no baking powder anywhere, so rising was minimal, LOL! Luckily, I broke no teeth.

No. I had a lot more. It's confusing though. Since before lifting, it's low cal/low carb, then afterwards it's high cal/high carb. So I filled in the whole "before" thing, then got confused and tried to remove it so I could make sure I was on with the after lifting part. Then, stupidly, I removed THAT so I could I could do the whole day (since I wrote it down). That was a dumb move, since I could have just added the AM stuff after the PM stuff and had the evidence there, but then I got busy and stopped. Then I got my kids and got tired and fell asleep early.

I don't know how to handle fridays, I guess. Before lifting isn't much of an issue. But, then just adding stuff after the lifting throws the macros and the cals off so badly that it's useless to look at.

And, on top of that, it's all dependent on when I lift. If I lift at 11am (lunchtime), I would only have one LC meal and the rest would be HC.

I'm open to logging suggestions, please.

Maybe you just need a compliance spreadsheet like Tina and I are using?

Started last week at 261.2 (that's what I weighed on Sunday my official weigh in day). down to 259 this morning. Need to go update fitday with the rest of yesterday's eats. Had an opportunity to drink last night and turned it down. I was the designated driver instead. Probably overshot calories yesterday tho since I had dinner with friends that I hadn't seen in a while.

[L'ilJ]

Did some OLing today along with some other stuff. I was thinking it would be classified as an "easier lifting" day, but it was much harder than expected so I decided to do the "hard lifting" protocol. So....

Hard Lifting Day
Calories = 15xTBW (1800)
Protein = 1gxTBW
Fat = 30-35% of total
Carbs = whatever is left over

My totals for the day
Calories = 1786
Protein = 123g
Fat = 32%
Carbs = 179g

Compliance is my middle name!

I'll do that. Good idea.

[Victoria]

You're all off to a great start!

Jane, your flaxseed bread sounds cool. I like the coffee-cup idea. I'll have to try it!

[tkinsley]

Compliant.

2175
F 142 g
Pro 163 g
CHO 32 g

slightly outside of my protein parameter by 3 grams. I really need to have a 10% tolerance for the macros though... that way I could stop at 135 g of protein if need be. I find that I'm really struggling to eat this much food late in the day.

Anyone have a problem with that?

[SpacecityPaula]

Starting HELL tomorrow and working with Leigh. Until I get the personalized program, I'm going to use the generic numbers described in the HELL PDF and modify them to the slightly lower amounts since I have more than 40+ lbs to lose at this point.

I'm really kind of nervous and excited.

Here's what my tentative numbers look like.

TDA - 13Xbw (3367 cal) Protein - 207 g.
TD1 - 11xBW (2849 Cal) Protein - 312 g
TDB - 12Xbw (3108 Cal) Protein - 259 G
TD2 - 10XBW (2590 Cal) Protein - 312 G
Rest Day - 9XBW (2331 Cal) Protein 363 G

Are you threatening us?

But, no. That's good with me.

Way to go, Paula!

No. Seriously. That program looks excellent!
