Stillman's Countdown to Summer: Marvelous May Edition

[Mar922]

Do you guys eat the Egg yolks?

I do sometimes because they are filling but I hate them! and they seem to be what makes me feel sick, so I was wondering if it would be bad for me to skip them? I know its kinda wasteful but with 3 dogs I could just give the yolks to them because its good for their fur anyways.

My #1 plan of attack is exercising every day , again.

I stopped doing that because Stillmans works so nicely that I dont have to workout every day anymore ( thank you Lord).

however with the deadline looming, I must throw all extras and caution to the wind.

Workout back in full force, as in 1 full hour of cardio, no BS

I also have to cut a bit of fat out that I have allowed to squeeze back in .

My weight has never gone up since MArch 31, only down, so I am glad for that, BUT now we must see movement, and quickly

oh how I wish for the easy days of the first week, when I would lose like 3 lbs in ONE night! LOL

argghhh, well my gym bag is packed, my tuna and black coffee await me

this week is gonna suck

No, the week is gonna be awesome because this will be the week you hit goal! 3 pounds in 6 days thats nothing, you could just go to the washroom and that could be gone in 1 "sitting" sorry I had to say that, its the running joke with my friends

I eat the yolks only when I am mixing the egg in with my tuna and mustard to make a little fake tuna salad

When I eat a hard boiled, 1/2 the time I throw out the yolk, and other times I will eat it, depending on how I feel.

I have also started buying these Egg whites in a carton, and making egg white omelets with a little meat mixed in and some Cheese Flavor sprinkles

I eat my eggs but I try to find interesting ways to eat them besides the standard hard or soft boiled.

The hardboiled egg is my standard go to snack, when I know I am going to work out , I make sure to shove down the yolk no matter how badly I dont want it

OMG, you totally have a point though

I just have been having trouble "Sitting' if you get my meaning
Its been a while for me.. I know if I could have a decent one, that could help me so much.. Maybe I should drink more coffee or have somthing to get my system revved up a little more

I am going to up my water intake today and see if that doesnt get a fire going..


Thanks for the positivity Mar
I can be SUCH A downer sometimes . I know I know!

I find coffee always helps me and so does water, I know exactly what you mmean itit can be days between but I meat doesn't leave alot of residue so there is nothing to "sit" for, sometimes I will drink some senna leaf tea that gets things moving pretty quickly, I found one in the states,in the pharmacy section of walmart, called dieters tea.

Thank you. I'm definitely pleased! I watched a 30 minute show last night and did the "health bounce" while it was going on. That's where you bounce without taking your feet off the trampoline. Then during the commercials I got more aggressive and bounced to work up a sweat. I kind of made it interesting by changing up the footwork and the direction I bounced in. It was really fun and I totally get why kids love bounce houses and jumping on beds so much.

I see you've been on the scale, several times. its impossible not to while on this diet. Youve just got to SEE results.
Weight loss progress shown is just a great motivator

Thanks! I'm surprised and thought I'd be closer to 7 pounds for the week. I weighed once in the past week (not including today...day 8) and after this morning I'm now convinced that this WOE is working VERY well for me. I can see and feel the progress daily when I look in the mirror and put on my clothes and THAT is more motivation to me than any number on the scale!

I eat the yolks but I don't like them much either. I usually have an omelette for breakfast and if I do them up that way the yolks don't bother me as much. If I boil the eggs...say 4...I'll eat 1 or 1.5 yolks. I find that the yolks make the egg more filling.

Has anyone here done the Body For Life Program for body recomposition?

That is fantastic! Way to go!!!

Oh my goodness, you can totally do it! Exercising does seem to help. I've been doing yoga regularly, and I can really feel things tightening up. You are going to be a smokin', gorgeous bride!

I've been taking magnesium supplements, and it definitely helps in that department. A little TOO much, actually.

That is horrible, but for some reason it made me laugh. I could so see one of my dogs doing that!

I have changed my Avi to chicken breast because I have been eating so many lately I think I am turning into one

Interestingly enough, while I LOVE chicken, I have yet to have any since I started Stillman's. Weird, huh? It's only because all my chicken breasts are in the freezer and I'm too lazy to thaw them out. Now I want chicken!

[Stillman's_Chick]

Aren't they though? I actually started the challenge about 9 years ago, got through a month of it and saw amazing results. At the time where I lived I had to travel almost an hour to go to the nearest gym every day and I got burnt out on the waking up many hours before work to do that and stopped.

I already know it works wonders so I'm thinking about starting the next challenge round on June 25th (RIP MJ). By then I know I'll be about 20-25 pounds away from my goal which will be easy to get rid of over 12 weeks doing Body For Life.

My concern more than pounds lost is body shaping and composition and the best way to address those effectively is hitting the weights hard to build muscle and doing intense cardio to blast fat. I want to end this 6 month body transformation at around 148-152 and 20-22% body fat.

Funny! I told my friend that the amount of chicken and eggs I'm eating I wouldn't be surprised If I sprout feathers by the end of my Stillman's stint!

haha mine are all int the freezer I either cook them frozen or just take them out the night before I plan on making them.

I know you IF most days, what window of time do you eat?

I am SO bad about planning meals ahead of time. Between my kids' violin lessons, dance classes, and my yoga/gym, plus all the random things that come up during the week, I have a problem with thinking I'm going to cook stuff and then taking the easy way out and getting the kids something while we're out, so I'm always scared to take things out of the freezer. We don't do fast food, but I'll get them a deli sandwich or something like that, then I'll just eat later. I really need to get more organized with meals. It's tough because DH is gone for 24-48 hours at a time for work, so we're on our own a lot.

I have been sorta kinda IFing most days, but I'm not following a set plan. I've been getting hungry around 2:30-4:00, eating at that time, then not really eating again, but I don't do that every day.

Oh they are!!! What exactely is it though? I mean, are there lots of supplements or is it just a protein rich diet with strength training and HIT cardio? Between Christas and Easter I was kind of doing that, well Stills is protein rich, and I was doing interval training and then Callanetics and I def have got 'smaller' -in the strangest places, quite quickly too. Ok I don't particularly want to build loads of muscle-I know, i know it makrs you look smaller and it burns more fat, but I def don't want to bulk up. I can feel that I have blt some, I can feel them! Even though I keep reading you can't build anything with a calorie deficit!!! I think the EFL recommends heavier weights and less reps, whereas I would do more reps with lighter reps.
I do think the pics are amazing, especially the toning ones, they have completely changed their shape-gone from a grand slim figure to hello bikini!!!

[Getting there!!!]

Stills chick-I'm with you on the body recompositioning, I want that too! I can see that it's kind of in my grasp, as in I have the potential to look like the afters in BFL, well the less good ones, anyway! (never did I ever think it would even be poss to dream about it!) i truly believe that exercise is the key to actually changing your body shape.
Again I don't actually want to be as body built as some, i still want the long lean toned thin look!!
Oh, and Tanya's arms!
