You have to let me know all about it. I am going to start carb cycling tomorrow. I am recovering from a small bout with food posioning. :( <BR/>Keep working hard chica - you will get there! <BR/>JessJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642277411680774594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963800094544655176.post-32006096500014996842008-04-07T20:44:00.000-05:002008-04-07T20:44:00.000-05:00Hey Jess, the whole diet thing is a constant tweak...Hey Jess, the whole diet thing is a constant tweak isn't it? I'm going to be very serious with the 1300 calorie deal and I'm cutting back a bit on cardio....I also just ordered the book from BuffMother.com on Hormonal Timing...I've heard GREAT things about it for women bodybuilders so I am pysched to learn from it, might help! I'll keep you posted.<BR/>;-)Kelly Olexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831405527385476916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963800094544655176.post-46496956050421273702008-04-07T20:37:00.000-05:002008-04-07T20:37:00.000-05:00Cathy -I think I posted those pics in January and ...Cathy -<BR/>I think I posted those pics in January and quite frankly, lots of time off from working has happened in between and while I appreciate the props I think the same picture now would look lots different but who knows - probably not as different as I think. :) <BR/>Yes, I have considered consulting the champ but not sure I am ready to make the investment until I am pre-contest again. Make sense? But I do think I need to approach my diet more scientifically and carb cycle, etc. Do you use JL for your diet and training or just training??? How is response time, etc? Thank you Cathy for the thoughts and feedback. I love your wisdom. <BR/>Kelly-<BR/>GREAT info! The only thing I am worried about is that I think I have been around 1300-1400 and now I am starting to wonder about metabolic damage. I may need to up my calories to 1800 or so for a few weeks and see if I can reset my metabolism. But I think your trainers are super smart and I love your recent blog posts. I will definitely email you! Thanks for the awesome info!<BR/>Jess<BR/>JessJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642277411680774594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963800094544655176.post-13419735127236459262008-04-06T21:15:00.000-05:002008-04-06T21:15:00.000-05:00Hey Jess, I did a lot of food/diet talking with my...Hey Jess, I did a lot of food/diet talking with my trainer this afternoon. He knows what I've been doing since January and what I've been eating. I'd been at around 1700-1800 calories so when I told him I wanted to see better fat loss with my strength progress and muscle progress, she said ok lets try cutting 500 calories a day. He suggested that I start varying my breakfast; I Have been having oatmeal with protein powder literally every day. I'm going to start alternating every other day with either egg white omelete or 1 egg and a whole grain waffle - per his suggestion. I was doing two protein shakes a day, he said cut one out and do like an apple for my mid-morning snack. For lunch he wants me to vary my proteins too; eat some salads, make more fish at home; prep my food on sundays for the week etc. This guy knows his stuff, he is competing again in under 90 days and he's already lost close to 15 pounds in about 2.5 weeks. He highly suggests my evening post-workout meal be egg whites only - about 5 or cottage cheese. I have a Myoplex Lite bar on the way home from the gym and then one of those two. I can tell you more of what we talked about if you want to email me. I don't want to hog your blog hee hee ha ha ho ho.<BR/>;-) Also check my blog post for today talking about food ideas.Kelly Olexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17831405527385476916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963800094544655176.post-60356010382929985552008-04-06T20:52:00.000-05:002008-04-06T20:52:00.000-05:00Jess, the pictures you posted just a few weeks ag...Jess, the pictures you posted just a few weeks ago are amazing. I agree that it is about the body comp and not the weight.<BR/>What one person looks like at 129 can look completely different on another. I know you have seen women who have nice abs but doughy arms and butts and vice versa. Each of us stores fat differently and each of us has those body parts that always look good no matter what. And honey you look great!<BR/>Have you ever thought of consulting the "champ" to clear up some of your food questions? I am not suggesting that you need help.....just that sometimes a neutral, knowledgable party can be really helpful.<BR/>And congrats to the hubman!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997074772803271174noreply@blogger.com
