Dutchie: Work Out and Diet Log

Hi there,

I was doing great with my work-outs when I got a major lower back problem. It took me a about a year to recover, build up my core, seriously listen to my body and figure out what works and what doesnt work. The biggest challenge was really my own mind - I love kicking ass in the gym but got wiser and am now taking a far more relaxed approach to working out. Ive come to understand the benefits of rest,

My weekly work out schedule looks like this:
- 30 minutes Pilates
- 2 full body work outs
- 2/3 cardio sessions: 30 minutes on statiory bike (started rowing)

Now is the time to bring my body weight back to 72.5 kg. For this, I need to focus on my diet and eat at 1500 calories per day.

I will use this thread to log my work outs and my diet. Feel free to leave any comments/questions/advise.

Dutchie

How do I edit my posts? It doesnt seem possible after a day. Please explain. Otherwise it becomes very difficult to keep a log.

I'm not sure if there's a time limit thing, or if it's once you've made another post in the thread, you can't edit previous posts. Why do you need to edit posts to keep a journal?
 
I need editing because I prefer to update during the day: enter food in the morning when I plan, make changes if things work out differently. If I need to keep track of my day on paper to log everything correctly in the evening, I do double work.
 
Hi Dutchie,
How exactly are u calculating your calorie intake?
I mean how do you know you are eating only 50gr salad, 113gr tomato etc?

Simple: I weigh my food.
