The only thing I’ve felt was a lot is the chicken and veggie foil packet meal. But it could have been cuz it was super spicy. I am trying to figure if I’ll be hungry in a few hours for meal 4. It always seems like a lot though at first but once you adjust to it, it will feel like you want more. Lol I’d say give it a week or two.. (plus then we start reducing)
I might have to try some vanilla. I made it into a smoothie though so I was able to drink it instead of eating. I’m not a huge fan of blueberries to begin with and never had almond butter until just now. It was bad just different.
So would it be 12 oz of uncooked chicken? Jw as I’m going to be prepping this today :). And if I have extra chicken possibly running to the store to grab the veggies to prep for week 2 and freeze.
I’m going with that it’ll be 4 muffins overall (so 2 servings of 2 muffins since the recipe states 1 serving is 2 muffins). That with the oatmeal should get pretty close to the macros she’s suggesting (I bet there’s a little wiggle room because some calories may calculate different based on suggestions when dealing with veggies..but that’s my guess).
I personally try not to use things with creatine in it because it makes my body hold more water weight I feel. Whenever I use a preworkout with creatine it helps with muscles, but my scale doesn’t move. This is just my experience/body though. I also think I produce slightly more creatine than average, at least that’s what my lab reports indicated before (but its been a longgg time lol). But the pre-workout I have now is creatine free, they make a kind with it in it but I chose the one without and I really like it.
I have to keep reminding myself we’re in the building phase and that muscle is heavy. I’m definitely trying to go more by how I look and feel and measurements than the scale. Whenever I weigh myself after gym days I’m always heavier or stay the same. But after my rest day I’m down some weight. Your muscles will continue to burn those calories as they recover and etc. But I agree mentally I’m in the same boat, but I try to remind myself. And my husband telling me I look smaller doesn’t hurt either lol. But just think, soon we’re in the “cutting” stage (that’s what I’m calling it lol) where it’s more fat burn!
Thanks everyone! I ordered some from Fabletics so we’ll see lol. I swear everything I try I see through haha. I don’t wanna be that person at my gym (? cuz trust me I’m sure I’d find out lol ?). I’m gunna check into some of the other places too! Thanks tho! I appreciate all the input.
Thanks for the input! I might check old navy out today. And I was thinking about Fabletics and gym shark. Haha gym shark just didn’t seem to have my size (but once I get a little smaller I’ll be checking em out again lol). Haha I’m just starting to need to rebuy gym cloths and it seems everything is legging/tights geared (which at first I wasn’t a fan of but I’m slowly getting used to it).
I just made one strictly for this so I don’t spam my normal followers and to hold myself accountable, somehow, and to hopefully see progress. My challenge one is csm_fitchallenge
I figure if I’m having a major sweet tooth moment maybe have some Hot Chocolate. Or normally my protein shake is chocolate and it kind of helps too. That and the rice cakes make me pretend like its a tasty snack lol. I’m craving pizza right now and taco bell whenever I’m getting hungry (normally just before I get home from work) and I feel lazy. Thankfully having some prepped meals helps and once I eat it deters me. And I have to force myself from wanting to snack/graze at night.
I also have a struggle of which meal plan. I’m afraid of my body going into a shock type of situation if I go with the Plan #2 (based on height) because my weight is well over the weight portion. Should I start with Plan #3 for a couple of weeks until I adjust then move to Plan #2? I just don’t want my body to feel like it’s going into starvation mode. Thanks!
