My first journal
Hi all:
I really need all the help and advices I can get from all of you! 
Ok, after a lot of thinking I decided to start my journal here. Some info about me:
Height: 5'3 (kind of short  )
Currently at 122 pounds (28% bf)
--5 mos ago I was 154 but I was 9 mos pregnant, 132 pounds (34%bf) at 1 month postpregnancy. Starting working out with weighs 3 months ago, and lost 10 pounds. Baby is 5 mos old now. My third baby.)
I am very active person, who was running long distances before. I have run 5 marathons in the last 3 years and many road races. Now I am not running like before, I want to lift weights! 
My goals:
1.reach 110 to 115 pounds.
2.at short term---down to 21% (or less if possible long term)
3.learn to eat healthy forever
I am following this workout (sometimes I do a few changes):
mon-- chest/tri + 30 min. cardio
tues-- back (morning) taebo (night)
wed-- cardio (usually a 1 h step class)
thur-- legs
fri-- shoulder/bi + 30 min. cardio
sat-- rest or cardio
sun-- rest or cardio
For cardio I like to run a 5K or longer if sat or sun. Usually I will rest two days of the week, or at least one.
My major problem is to eat well. I am trying hard to do it and will try to write down what I eat as much as I can. Trying to consume 1400 calories, but I am not into calculating this very well. I just follow my body's needs, and so far so good.
I will post some pics when I figure out how. 
Jo

I got it. A couple of pics taken 2 weeks ago. I am happy with my progress. I have 3 kids and was pregnant with a big belly 5 month ago. But there is still a long way to go!!!

Guys, thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to write in my journal to give me advices and encouragement. I really need them.
Amy, until march 2003 I was training for running marathons and long distances, up to 70 or more miles a week . So, in fact, I don't feel like I am doing too much cardio, at least nothing like before
Now my main objective is to build muscles and burn fat, so stop training for races (at least for a while cause I miss racing,I was good at it )

Oh my gosh! you are going to give me hope whenever I decide to get pregnant! you look great! See my sis is about to "burst" and she is not active at all, so she has a belly full of stretch marks and thats what I am scared to get! Anyhow, people say they are genetic, but I dont want to believe it. So do you think being active before, during and after help not to get stretch marks?

Thanx rrouleau!
Anna: I do believe genetics has a lot to do with strech marks. My mom, sister and me didn't get any. I also rubbed karite butter or coconut butter everyday during the whole 9 months . I only started being really active after my dd was born 9 years ago. But it is a fact than exercising before, during and of course after my last pregnancy helped me to get back in shape faster. |

Saturday june 5th
I was invited to join a dragon boat race (I live in Taiwan where they celebrate Dragon Boat Festival on jun 22th) so this morning I went rowing for about 1 hour with some rest between laps. It was fun but not so challenging. Anyway I will count it as a half hour cardio 
meal 1 oatmeal with protein powder / coffee with lowfat coffeemate
meal 2 today I had to skipped it because I was on a boat
meal 3 small steak and baked potatoes (not the best choice I know) and 2 c fish oil
meal 4 protein shake and apple
meal 5 chicken salad with olive oil
meal 6 aloe vera and 2 c fish oil
a lot of water. I love to drink water Ohh, I also have another cup of coffee between meals 4 and 5. I am a coffeeholic

Hey, that boat race sounds like so much fun, rowing for an hour is not a challenge for you? You must be in REALLY good shape woman, that's great! How's life in Taiwan? Sounds really interesting, I've always been really fascinated with other cultures.....
(Oatmeal w/ protein powder - this is my breakfast every single morning - the best IMHO is Designer Whey, Strawberry flavor - YUM!!!!)

Amy: I also have Designer Whey Protein in strawberry flavor, but will never use it in my oatmeail  I take alone after my workouts. With oatmeal I prefer vanilla flavor and now I just bought 100% Whey protein from GNC (yummy )
Life in Taiwan is good. I have lived here 13 years. Wow, I can not believe is that long. My husband is taiwanese, and my kids born here. I love the culture and the food,I have good friends and a nice job, a great gym , and many outdoor activities to satisfy my craving for exercise .
