My new fitness diary!!!!

Hi, i joined this forum about a month ago and my main interest has been observing the diaries and journals of you guys so i thought i start one myself...

im 21, 5' 4 and currently weighing at 123 pounds (8.11)
i go to the gym 2 days a week and i play soccer for a local girls team.
my ideal goal weight is 115 pounds but my main aim is to keep healthy and tone up....

Thursday 4th january 2007

breakfast- 1 piece of toasted wholemeal bread, a glass of fresh orange juice
lunch- a ham sandwich and diet coke

Main meal- im planning to have sausage and mash if it changes i will post my main meal later on today

also going to the gym tonight for 2 hours...

comments are welcome and any advice on my eating would be great...thanks

ok for breakfast drop the orange juice, instead eat an orange cause at least at this point you are getting some fiber into you aswell. Also if you can try porridge instead of the bread, or go for wholegrain bread instead of wholemeal bread. Another sugestion maybe to have some boiled/scrambled eggs with your breakfast aswell.

As for the sandwich what is in it bar ham, if possible try chicken or turkey as your main filling, or have some lean meat with a salad add a small bit of extra virgin olive over it.
For dinner ditch the sausages again try something slighly healthier, maybe a homemade beef burger, made with lean mince and a small wholegrain bap with a side salad instead.
Other then that I would add a couple of snacks of nuts and seeds with some fruit to snack on during the day.

Also 2 hours seems like a long time to be spending in the gym especially as this is probably footy season for you, so what do you do in the gym for 2 hours

edit: sorry forgot to say good luck with this ;-)

thanks for the quick response...
thank you for the advice i will definatley ditch the sausages! (i never usally eat them but im visiting my relatives so i dont really have a choice!)

well i go to aerobics session and then circuit training but if i added up all the time it would probally only be 1 1/2 hours!...
but if the circuit training finishes early then i tend to go on the tredmill and then i usally use the speedball...
 
The circuit training is your weight training?

As for dinner I've found a nice, quick meal is boiled chicken breast, with brown rice cooked in nonfat chicken broth and a blanched veggie or two.
 
JSB: thanks for the good luck edit : )

apart from circuit training all i do is soccer training so the circuit works muscles that a dont really use in soccer (ei. biceps)

Rest is good - it gives muscles time to get stronger. (Of course there is such a thing as too much of a good thing too, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.)
 
Saturday 6th january 2007

Girl, enjoy that chicken korma! LOL you haven't even got any decent ANYTHING in you XD

If you are as active as you are now (which probably 10x me lol) then you gotta eat more than that or you will colapse! we don't want that :)

Welcome and good luck!

Agreed - some kind of balance and regular intake of calories would be a good idea to fuel your activity level.

but im back on track now!!! anyways...

Sunday 7th January 2007

B- english breakfast (really bad i know!!! but i had a small portion of everything :!

i then went for a brisk 30 minute walk to make me feel better LOL

S - can of diet coke
L - had breakfast quite late so no lunch
D - just a snack toast/ wholegrain X2

mabye have a cup of tea or something later...
 
Either that was one heck of a breakfast, or you're still not eating enough... As judging from what you've written you've only eaten twice today - try going for 5-6 times a day with smaller but more frequent meals. That way your body will have a dependable energy source, which will keep your metabolism up.
 
thanks everyone, its really nice 2 here incouragement once in a while!!!

i will be back in my rountine (eating small frequent meals) now im back to college....so heres what time they will be (estimated)

breakfast - between 7.30 and 8.00am
Brunch - 11.00am
lunch - 1.30pm
snack - between 3.30 - 4.00pm
dinner - around 6.00pm
snack - betwen 7.30 to 8.00pm

how does that sound???
 
Looks good - about every 2-3 hours is what you want to shoot for. Your body will get accustomed to it and you'll find you start getting hungry right around when your next meal is.
 
i havent tried it but i'll have a go!

check out my new thread in womens picture gallery (its called 'i need to tone up!!!) and please give me any suggestions on how to improve!!!
thanks
