Re: My 2nd day of BFL! and my trainer at Gold's Gym is impressed with my KNOW-HOW.

[Guest guest]

Cool! Got it and thanks so much!

There are so many details i'm learning from reading

everyone's concerns on this site.

I guess mine is keeping track of calories? 1350 is

HARD for me to do

if I work out hard, AND have PMS (seems like everyone

had that this week).

So far I did an excel spreadsheet of

Carb/Prot/Fat/Calorie breakdown

for all the meal combos that ive enjoyed. That way, I

can No Brain it later and 'JUST EAT " . Getting the

combo right the first time is like chemical work in

the laboratory, Id rather just know what works and

move on with my life. Although i am concerned that

i'm developing some hard-wired control habits--and its

scary to think so obsessively about my body and food

for so long, but I also understand there's a learning

curve I must adjust to.

I'm looking forward to losing 18 pounds of fat in 12

weeks

I'm 5'3 " , 135 lbs.

33 yrs old

24% BF

I'm excited for the details that everyone is filling

me on with great/quick recipes and social situation

attitudes to adjust to.

So far My FAVS are:

chocolate protein oatmeal (1/2 CarbSense, w/ slowcook

oats)

protein pancakes (make many batches/freeze or

refridge/then Toast it)

choco protein pudding w/ jello (made w/

banan,straw,diet gingerale)

protein shakes with UDO

roasted chicken thats been marinated in fat free

dressings.

The BEST purchase besides my blender is

my SHARP Convection Microwave Oven!!

defrost,roast, and grill in one place!
