it was 3 machines, i am not sure of the names, i usually work out w/ someone and they pick the machines for the body parts of the day, but i usually do 3 sets of 10 and rest while they go or sit on my bench for a few seconds. this is not my expertise at all so i would love any help in this area i could get. what do you think i should be doing ? i am meeting w/ a trainer on tuesday since i switched gyms so hopefully that will help.
That sounds fantastic. I can sense your enthusiasm which is great!
As for machines...before i give you a briefing on weight training, do you have access to a library? Borders? Barnes and Noble??
I want you to buy this book : "Sculpting Bible for Women"
Is that possible??

hey girl
Where is my update??
How is the progress coming along?
Do you have a scale at home?? If you do, i want you to throw it. LOL
And buy a measuring tape. We will take measurements every 2 weeks to see how things are prgoressing.
I want you to up that cardio, 45 minutes in the AM 4 days a week on an empt stomach. Cardio and a cleanER diet are key to getting you where you want in the time frame we have.
Did yu get a chance to look up that book?? No pressure, just let me know!!

oh i am going to look up the book, i just forgot... oops. so the cardio on an empty stomach is better, good to know. oh and i dont own a scale, but at the gym everytime i go i keep weighing 1/2 a lb more, but i feel trimmer, i have maintained my good eating ruitine and not broken stride so i know i am loosing, but i think all the body pump is making me weigh more. pretty soon i am going to need to get ya a pic of my " big gun " lol

ok
4 oz of tofu is 9.25 g of protein
A slice of ham is around 7 g of protein
Balance bar is probably 15 g of protein
Soy latte is about 8g of protein
1 cup of nuts has about 20g of protein..so 1/8 is 2.5 g
We have 51g of protein in 6 meals...you HAVE to eat more than that girl.
I want to see more protein in there. 20g with EACH meal for starters.

hmmm
here is what i suggest:
Buy a protein podwer, maybe a strawberry flavored one, or even one with an assortment of flavors and have a scoop (20g) 3 times a day.
or You can cook some tilapia if you like fish and are tired of tuna! You can even buy the little on-the-go tuna boxes that come with 2 wheat crackers. Some tuna also comes seasoned which makes for some very good eating.
Do you like chicken? turkey? There are some really good lean patties you can buy at a Sam's and grill and pack away and snack on throughout the day. yummmm
Get you some natty peanut butter and have a tablespoon every morning. Good fats.
Remember the key is to feed you body and not starve it.
Think of your body as a furnace. The more you fuel it, the longer it will burn. That's how your metabolism keeps running and your bosy is burning even while at rest.
what else?

Any peanut butter will be fine. Forget the natty for now. Peter pan is fine. Have a tablespoon of that. Do you like eggs?
My suggestion for a good healthy morning meal would be: 6 egg whites - 1 tbspn peanut butter - 1/4 cup oatmeal.
You hate cold drinks...well do you like smoothies?? There are some very healthy smoothie blends for you to consider. You may THINK you hate shakes but some shakes taste like a milkshake, not my choice of shake, but will work for someone who wants to start somewhere.
No point in buying chicken if you don't like it. Remember i told you that I was going to help you LEARN how to combine your foods using whatever foods you DO like so that you DON'T get bored and lose your motivation which is exactly what is happening. Not a good sign.
If you like tilapia then GREAT. Have that INSTEAD of chicken. You didn't have to buy the chicien or the turkey patties. This is not about stacking up your refrigerator with shit you have to force yourself to consume. Its about KNOWING what foods you can substitute for what. In this case, chicken and turkey for tilapia.
Start with 4oz per meal.
As for nothing sounding good and you've only been doing this for a couple of weeks, honey I cannot help you with that. What i CAN do is encourage you, teach you, guide you, answer your questions, sert a goal for you and help you attain it, but i CANNOT MAKE you do ANYTHING you are not willing to do. No one said this was easy, especially when you are new to all this, but you have to find it INSIDE YOU to be consistent and patient becauwe results do NOT happen overnight and there is NO quick fix for a great body.
