Email down again!!

My idealbodiesonline address has not been working overnight - have not received any email to that address since last night. Please send to sueheintze@ncable.com.au


Day 1 of logging food:

1. 1/3 cup brown rice flakes, 3 pecans, 2 slices frozen banana and a drizzle of rice milk. My protein source was roast chicken, left over from last night - about 80g
*I started getting hungry about 2 hours after eating
2. 2 eggs, 1 white, 1/4 small avocado, 15g goat cheese (chevre), broccoli
My carb source was 1/2 apple.
*Felt very satisfied, right up to when I next ate, was really not that hungry but ate as I just completed a weight training session
3. 100g portugese sardines in hot sauce (LOVE these), approx 1/3 cup chickpeas, 1/4 cup brown rice, broccoli, 1/4 avocado, 1/2 tomato
*an hour and half later felt like I wasn't quite satisfied and craving something sweet so had just four small slices of banana and that did the trick
4. 100g salmon, 20g goat feta, 1/2 cup brown rice
*did not have veggies here as not overly hungry, not really sure what to do in this instance - should I remove the rice and just have veggies??
5. Serving of creamy curried beef - had veggies, no starchy's, and beef, and some coconut milk, and coconut oil/butter for cooking in. 1/2 frozen banana.

I must admit, this just appears to be so much heavy food and I'm a bit scared to eat this way :(

Found our local organic store this morning - it was quite good actually, can get most things, plus I got a number for a lady who delivers organic meat. Will follow that up when I get a chance.

Trained Day 5 of my program today - some shoulders with drop sets, ouch - and some triceps, and calves. Also did some Zone exercises from the Paul Chek book. Tomorrow I am getting up and before I even turn this computer on, I am going to the gym to do some interval cardio. Will train weights with Jodie tomorrow night.

I am seeing some decent muscle gains, my shoulders and arms seemed to have gotten a better shape - though the fat is hiding most of it at present. I'm really not liking not being able to diet yet. I still plan to, come January. I will have my adrenals checked out again at the end of the year - if they have improved, I want to compete. I will be very miserable if I can't.
