i have been reading these forums on and off for a while but decided today to register as i could do with some extra support and motivation.
here are some details about me...
im 27, female (obviously), live near London, 5'4, dress size uk size 10 (which i think is a u.s size 6???), i weight 128 pounds.
exercise wise i currently do 4-5 days of cardio a week... this can be anything from an hour brisk walk to 30 mins on exercise bike or treadmill, 1 hour aerobics class, spinning ETC. i vary what cardio i do or else i get bored.
i also do weights 2-3 times a week depending on what i can fit it but twice a week always. i usualy just do upper body one day and lower body the next but not 100% sure if doing it this way will give me best results, i use manily free weight but sometimes use resistance machines at the gym
diet wise i eat a clean as i can, i do have a 4 year old daughter though so dont have the time or money to be cooking seperate meals so try to do as best i can without having to make 2 seperate dinners. i am very very busy so i dont have a great deal of time to be eating about 5-6 meals a day but i do eat 4 meals a day which is really the best i can do at this stage.
goal wise i just want to lose the last few pounds of fat and replace it with muscle... yes the dreaded last few pounds. id say i was quite fit when it comes to stamina so not really amazingly bothered about raising fitness level, though there is always room for improvment. when i have clothes on i probably look quite slim, but when clothes off i have a couple of wobbly areas that i would like to get rid of.. mainly my tummy. not too fussed about having a teeny bit of wobble on the behind as i like that and so does my other half
here is an idea of what i may eat in a day... (well 2 days)...
Day 1
8.30am banana, oats with half fat milk, green tea
midday - turkey sandwich on wholeweat bread and a tiny scrape of low calorie mayo.... lots of salad on the side
4.30 -5pm chicken or fish, mixed veg, very small portion of brown rice or pasta
8-9pm - small handful nuts, fruit, natural yoghurt
8.30 - fruit, 1 slice wholeweat toast with thin scrape butter and marmite (do u have marmite in the US?), green tea
midday - mixed salad, tuna mixed with a tiny bit of low fat mayo on rye crackers
4.30-5pm - chicken stir fry
8-9pm - again nute,fruit, yoghurt
i also have the odd square of 85% cocoa chocolate here and there.
i usualy only drink water and green tea in the morning but once every one to two weeks i have a couple of glasses of wine.
i go out about once a month for a big night out and i will prob drink anything between 3 and 5 bottles of beer.
so there is my life story, and helpful hints and tips would be greatly appreciated... i will get some pictures taken as soon as poss so you can see what my body is looking like currently.
yes i would like to lose about 5 pounds more of fat and get a little bit more muscle tone instead. my main area of annoyance is tummy.. i am currently 27.5-28 inches around my waist.. my goal is to get to 26 inches. then i will be super lol
as for weights... call me stupid but i really dont know what all the different exercises are called, i just use what i have been shown and have picked up over the years. basically when i do lower body i aim to work all leg muscles as well as bum and i also do stomach.. when i do upper body i do chest, triceps, biceps, shoulders, back and again stomach.
i am going out for a meal tonight at tgi friday and i have had a little look on the menu on the net and i am a little bit worried about what i am going to choose, most of the dishes are coated in fattening sauces.. any suggestions??? T.G.I. Fridays Guildford - Mains - Steaks
