LiveFit (38-41) and Week 7!

Posted Feb 12 2012 7:18pm

Yikes! Sorry I haven’t posted in a few days but I was swamped trying to finish editing a paper for a professor and regular homework. Plus our friend that was in town just left so I haven’t had a lot of free time.

Week 6 was pretty much the same on weights as Week 5 but here are a few  of my days for you:

I’m excited to start Week 7 today and switch things up again. Don’t forget if you’re on Week 7 this is the week we started weighing food and keeping track of hi and low calorie days. You can calculate your goals here and I use MyFitnessPal to keep track.

My low days are 1270 and my high days are 1570 – this is waaaay lower than the normal 1600-1800 I have been doing trying to get my muscle back. I will have to cut out some healthy fats and replace them with extra veggies to stay full.

I am think this is what a low calorie day will look like (mainly):

  • M1: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 5 whites, veggies
  • M2: 1 cup non fat greek yogurt and 1 tbsp flxseed
  • M3: 4 oz cooked chicken, 100g sweet potato, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 tomato
  • M4: 1/2 quinoa bake or 2 protein bars
  • M5: 4 oz cooked chicken or turkey and veggies
  • M6: 1 scoop pp with water

And this will be a high calorie day:

  • M1: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 6 whites (or maybe 3 whites and 1 whole egg), veggies
  • M2: 1 cup non fat greek yogurt and 1 tbsp flxseed
  • M3: 6 oz cooked chicken, 100g sweet potato, 1/2 avocado, 1/2 tomato
  • M4: 1 quinoa bake or 4 protein bars
  • M5: 6 oz cooked chicken or turkey and veggies
  • M6: 1 scoop pp with water

I don’t eat a lot of carbs to begin with because I have an intolerance to wheat so I pretty much have brown rice, quinoa, oats and sweet potatoes. I mainly adjust my proteins and healthy fats.

It is definitely going to be difficult for me to cut down this much – I’m going to see how the first week goes and then maybe adjust up.

I am off to the gym and store so I can cook – I’ll post what I made either tonight or tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
