*screams* WHERE ARE YOUR PROTEINNNNNSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *wiggles hand up in the air and runs around like a a headless chicken*

*faints* ..... You can even finish 1 slice of bread with cheese? You're eating SO LITTLE !!

Told you my diet was off

More protein and more cals? Just don't feel like eating lately - and IMO thought that Wednesday diet (before & after workout) was a lot.

If I take protein shakes as my only source of protein [on most days] is this okay?

Also a query about fish oil and fat loss/muscle building - is it like all that "cod liver oil" stuff that mom used to make us eat? Or is it pills and something different?

It's always better to eat real food. Nothing beats real food.
And yes...please eat more !!

Hmm on Discovery Home & Health there are workouts from 4:30 - 5:00 and 5:00 to 6:00. Today there's step and I've seen one where they used the stability ball, it's quite fun from what I've tried so far. Too bad it starts at 5! That means must sleep at 9 pm each evening?

Weight .. so pissed about it. This morning (Monday @ 3ish am) hit 165 after eating over the weekend. Where in all honesty I just ate less than all the "regular" people - who don't have to work out ever, eat anything & everything they want but stay skinny forever. Completely pissed.

Plus I cannot SEE where/how I've lost any weight. Think I still look like complete &!@# - mirror in changing room for example. Or seeing people fit into Size 4s. Or going out in public and not seeing anyone bigger than a stick. Feeling a tad demoralized.

at the end of the day, it's about feeling good about your own body first, then go and lose weight.. the healthy way of cuz.. u MUST feel that u're complete and good enough first, or u'll end up doing things in life for the wrong reasons.. so hold up your left hand and give yourself a pat on the back.. good job so far! keep it up!

Thank you, carlsuen .. that was very sage advice. It helped.

And yes I am doing this for all the wrong reasons i.e. to look good .. time to shift the focus to something else .. although at the moment can't pinpoint what exactly it would be. Will figure it out.

Eh everyone's doing it to look good. Look first, health will come later as a bonus hahahahha

Kira oh kira. Eat more protein.. really. You're a perfect candidate for protein meal replacements. Buy some whey and make yourself a protein shake when ur hungry. They taste good too

haha.. of cuz there's nothing wrong with wanting to look good.. I LOVE TO LOOK GOOD!! but i do not need to lose weight to look good or feel good about myself.. there's a difference.. for instance, to lose weight for the sake of good health is good.. but to lose weight just becuz u FEEL that u'll FEEL better when u're thinner.. is the wrong reasons.. everyone must work on feeling secure about themselves as it will help u become a happier person..

and i'm no sage la.. just something that i practice day in day out.. )

and what's ur reason carl to buff up if not to look good?

This part is just right - we all want to look good but there is a part of me (a huge part) that feels that once I lose weight, it'll change things in my life.

Surprisingly I don't have any such perceptions about what the perfect body is i.e. if I'm shaped like this, I can't possibly look like a model or have that "ruler" shape. That's okay. I'd like to be me but smaller

About losing weight, the motivation .. 99% of the reason WHY I'm doing this is to look good so my life can change. [or so people can *see* me as a person or I won't be the "fat sister/daughter/woman" any longer]

Found Body Sculpting Bible for Women @ Kino - revised ed. w/ DVD that shows some moves. Think I'll shift to the 14-day sculpting program - which runs for 6 weeks, then you move on to an advanced program (6 weeks too).

Have not read through it 100% but what stands out is that it mentions that you must do cardio at least 30 min per day, plus 30 min of moderate activity i.e. a stroll in the evening, hiking, biking, what-not. Both 6x a week. Maybe that's why my routine has not worked at all.

Weekend-yesterday eating was pretty horrible now that I looked at it. Got too carried away when hanging out with people/family.

On Sunday found the best sports bra - from M&S, high-impact (for running etc) @ RM 99. Tried it out yesterday and super perfect. They have the moderate impact one @ RM 79 as well. Headed to the FJ Benjamin warehouse sale and got 2 x La Senza standard "uni-boob" type - from RM 129 to RM 30 each. A good sports bra makes all the difference.

@king83.. my targets are never to buff up.. as of now and since the beginning of the time i started lifting, my goals are purely strength.. and even if i do bulk up, it would be to hit a certain goal i set for myself.. like say, i'd like to hit 100kgs of BW and cut down ripped to approx 15% BF.. it would not be to look good.. i assure u.. as it is not a good enough motivation for me to work so hard just to achieve that 15% bf at 90kg to show off or to make myself feel good.. as of now, i'm around 93kg@20-25%BF(i think).. i have a lil gut that i suck up and a nice round a$$.. and i do not strictly control my food intake(as long as they're nutritional ) cuz i like to enjoy good food.. lifting is my hobby and that's the reason y i do it.. it has always been a personal challenge just to break thru a certain weight that i have not lifted before..

@kirakracus... i'm not trying to shoot u down or anything, but thinking that your life will change WHEN u're slimmer is a very dilusional way of thinking.. many ppl think this way as a matter of fact..

ppl generally think that

"WHEN i have this, my life will change"..

"WHEN i get slimmer, i'll be able to feel better"..

then hypothetically speaking, WHAT IF, u'll never be able to get what u want.. does that mean that u'll be doomed for life?

NO!

cuz it's all in the mind.. when u change your perception towards life, when u change your attitude towards YOUR life, how to handle things in a more constructive and positive manner, u find that things are actually as it is.. it is actually us humans that complicate things..

you'll be surprised actually, how many of those models, actors, actresses, rich and famous ppl are actually very unhappy and miserable.. best example would be britney spears(no offence to BS fans).. she has everything in her hands, career, fame, money, family, nice body, beautiful face.. and yet she threw it all out the window with drugs..

so u see my point? material things and things on the surface does not bring u happiness, even if u have them, it'll be relative happiness in which it gives u happiness that will not last.. what WILL last is when u have forged and indestructable INNER self that is able to take everything life throws at u and struggle to win no matter what with a winning attitude, then absolute happiness is in your hands..

so bottom line is, in my opinion, it is ok to wanna lose weight to look good and feel good.. but do not depend on it to bring u happiness... as u can already do it from the inside..
