Sawa3's Kids are Back to school Genomyx and more log!

[sawa3]

After being out of a routine for the summer while the kids were out of school I need to get back on track. So I am putting together a log to keep myself on point with diet, exercise, and of course my supplements.

I am looking to drop around 10 pounds in the next 8 weeks. I plan to do it with diet, exercise and supplements.

I plan to keep my calories around 1550 on average each day. I plan to have about 25% of calories from fat, 35% from protein, and 40% from Carbs.

For exercise I plan to do cardio 5-6 days a week. I mostly run with some biking and swimming. I run the most usually because I am usually training for a race. I figure i will run another half marathon in the fall. I am working up my mileage gradually to run a marathon in the spring. I plan to lift 3-4 days a week. With cooler weather coming I love biking and running a lot outside so it will make it easy for me to get out there!

I also plan to use supplements to help me to my goal. Yes, I know they aren't required, but they are helpful for me, so here we go! Plus many of them help with my over all health too! :-) I am currently taking several vitamins, fish oil, ALCAR, digestive enzymes, and Genomyx's Slin Sane version 2, Protocol, Salvia, and Decimate. I also cycle between several pre-workouts like Force Factor Body rush, Focus XT and Body Octane combo, EndoRush, and C4. I also use Aminolast, and Scivations BCAA regularly. There have been others that I have used, but those are what I am using in my cabinet now!

weight 156.4
Thigh 20.5
Hips- 38
belly button- 33.5
waist- 28.5
chest- 33

I'm actually a week into using Salvia and Decimate, and ALCAR. I've been taking everything else for at least 30 days and have been a normal part of my routine.

I will record, energy, work outs, diet, and there may be some great pics.. of food of course! :-)

Today was a great day. The weather was just beautiful, went to church, and got a pretty good work out in!

I have been loving the decimate, it is so helpful with curbing my appetite so far. IT doesn't fade later in the day.

For my work out I got to try MAN Strawberry Mango Body Octane today. A big thanks to MustangManGT for sending some out to us. The flavor was amazing. It works great of course too! I am hooked on the new Protocol flavor too.. I mixed it with the original version and had it gone very quickly!
I did run 4 miles today while the kids played with friends in the basement! I also got to do an upper body work out. I haven't been lifting as much lately just because of schedule so I am trying to get back in the routine. I managed to do lateral raises, shoulder presses, bent rows, dead lifts, flat bench, tricep extensions, and bicep curls. I am feeling it for now, so we shall see how I feel in the AM.

Diet was pretty on point today.
Calories 1517
Fat 37 (20%)
Carbs 219 (53%)
Protein 115 (27%)

It should be a pretty busy week this week! Working on my exercise plan for the week and already have my meals planned out!

I am already noticing my stomach flattening more. Love it. Even now at the end of the day, I don't feel bloated even after sharing some fries and a pretzel with the kids at a baseball game! The combo of SSv2, Decimate, and Salvia are working great. I am not hungry even now at 11pm.

Today I ran a 10k. I ended up running outside from my house and it's pretty hilly.. so the last almost mile and a half is uphill! It was an easy run, but yet not easy at the same time. I did "run into" some geese... I DON"T like geese.. they are mean and they hog the running trail and hiss at you.. I am always afraid of being in a headline... "nebraska woman gets mauled by geese around local lake"... LOL.. Those are up there with snakes on the trails.. LOL

I took the kids to a baseball game and thankfully with my stack of SSv2, Decimate, Salvia, and ALCAR I wasn't hungry so I didn't have to worry about snacking a ton at the baseball game I took the kids to!

Tomorrow all day I will be busy so I will be taking an evening bike ride while the boys have football practice.

Whew, a busy day! I managed to get a bike ride in while the kids were at football practice today. I was gone the majority of the day. I got to go a bit faster on the way back since I got a call my youngest wasn't feeling well. There is nothing wrong with him though.. I think I might have gotten some added protein today and swallowed a bug.. LOL

Anyways, I took my 3rd dose of my ALCAR, Decimate, and Salvia before dinner, and shortly after dinner I took protocol and Endorush.. Had a fantastic work out and great energy. So pleased. The SSv2 was a huge help too.. Made some yummy protein pancakes with bacon and eggs.

Good job Sarah. Make sure you count the added macros from any bugs that you eat!

Yeah I figure it was all of .01 calorie with some protein in there too! LOL

I was running errands the majority of the day today, but managed to squeak in a run and lift! I decided to do .5 mile intervals.. each interval was just a bit faster. In between intervals I had a pretty solid leg work out. Did supersets of squats, walking lunges, and calf raises. I finished with a bit of core work. I needed to get some speed work in so this worked out with me being on limited time!

I got to eat out twice today. I was high today in carbs because of it. Never once did I feel bloated. At one point after I ate I almost felt hungry still. After 15 minutes or so I felt a good satisfied type full. Loving the ssv2 because of these days, I don't have to feel bad. Over all I didn't eat terribly.
I have learned how to order at red robin so it works for me. I am sure the cooks hate me though because of my special order.. but it's so good! :-)

I had 1779 for calories for the day
Fat- 61 (29%)
Carbs- 226 (48%)
Protein- 111 (23%)

Tomorrow I get to lift upper body and take a bike ride. Should be a bit slower so I will be able to get some work done around the house. Now time for me to go keep working on my scrapbook I have been working on!

Dang Smitty, can't believe you are already going there...

Too soon?

I am thoroughly impressed that Sarah can eat out twice in a day and still come in under 1800 Cals. Armed with a couple SSV2 caps, I could eat 1800 Cals+ just at Red Robin. They wouldn't give us free refills on those delicious steak fries if we weren't supposed to eat an abundance of them....
