Talia's Just Do it July

[sweetdream]

I can't believe I am starting another journal already!

June flew by and I am sure July will too but I definitely have plans!

First of all since my rank for NYSP was so ****ty-- well ****tier than I wanted it to be I am going to try and put as much time and focus into this personal training exam as I can. My goal was to take it the 30th of July but I decided to take as much time as I need so I know I will pass.

I am very into working out and feel as if I would be good for this kind of job as I know how great it is to know someone so motivating (myself haha)

Good work Sweetdream!

Stay focused and work hard, you'll reach all your goals.

Question - can you take the NYSP test again?

[minime]

Hope you have a good July talia!!

Good work on increasing the weight on the presses!

[sweetdream]

JRD- no, my rank stays as is and I won't be able to re-take it pretty dissapointing but there is nothing I can do now but move on!

Minime- thanks!! I am getting much stronger I feel!

Today: well not a good example of a diet..I had a **** load of french fries, croutons and just made an ambrosia salad (fat free whipped, fat free jell-o pudding mix, fat free plain yogurt, strawberries and raspberries---it feels like a SIN eating it!!!!!)

Anyways- back on track tomorrow with the "lifestyle eating" and I am going to seriously try and be good on the 4th. I don't see myself going overboard with food, I see myself going under and then boosin it up because my boyfriends sister is in town! Ugh I feel so gross for eating all those fries!! I'm done when them for awhile! I managed to rack up over 200 grams of carbs today! thumbs DOWN

if I ever figure out how to cut down on the carbs, I'll let you know LOL. My eating "plan" that I am hoping to start next week has a little over 300 grams of carbs in it. It has about 140 grams of protein too though. I am going to try to cut out some of the carbs later at night though. We'll see. I do LOVE my pasta.

Good luck and keep up the great work.

[minime]

good work talia!

300g of carbs on a regular basis would make me feel quite ill. I think my body prefers more fat and less carbs.

Talia don't worry about the fries, just move on. Today is a new day

[sweetdream]

I agree...that many carbs everyday would make me chunky again!! it's all an idividual thing!!

today:

1 min 1 pull up
2nd minute 1.5 pull-ups

5 min walk 1.0 incline 4.5 mph
27:30 min run 6.9mph
2:30- walk 4.1 mph
25 min elliptical

abs-side to side with 12lb ball 3 sets 15 reps
abs- straight leg raises- 3 sets, 12 reps
abs- bicycle move- 3 sets 15 reps

[Sophie]

My muscles are a lot fuller with more carbs. I have the "X" on my back again like in my avatar which I hadn't had since last summer. I also have problems digesting fat sometimes so I can't really eat a lot of fat.

I wish I could run like you Talia. That run is awesome.

Edit- Just looked at your calories and they look really low. Be careful.

[Sophie]

I can't run LOL. I wish I could.

I could never go without meat. Even though I don't like a lot of meat, I cant imagine getting all the nutrients without it.

I hope you can find the time to make some of the foods in the cookbook. Good luck and be careful.

Today:
Happy 4th of July!!!

rollerblade 33 min

[sweetdream]

July 5th- off day but went to this place called Zoar Valley here in NY and it is about an hour walk to the falls. So we walked all the way there and back didn't have a watch with me but I can say we walked through alternating rocks/water/edges for 2 hours! it was fun!

July 6th- rollerblade 45 min

I went off my diet sooo much this weekend and Monday I am supposed to have a girls night with one of my friends and she's getting us pizza and ice cream! :/ I didn't eat too much crap, but I didn't eat like I normally do so Monday is my last "cheat" day and I gotta get back on track. Going to start the calorie cycling today and see in 4 weeks if I am still maintaining

[sweetdream]

so today went another diet day down the tubes

Starting July 8th-August 8th..I am going to try to stick to eating as clean as I possibly can, the only things I am allowing myself to cheat on is alcohol no more than 2 nights a week and no more than 5 drinks on those nights. I really got off track bad this past weekend and I definitely feel the after affects and I hate it :/
