I got my 12 wk plan from Derek….WOOT WOOT!! I will be doing the CHA 1400 plan starting on Monday. I am seriously nervous though. The diet is way more calories than I was taking in, it even seems to be more than my maintenance! I hope I dont gain weight/fat but I’ll also be doing more lifting and more cardio than I was doing. Derek is the expert so I plan on following this to a T but any encouragement would be great. This is going to be much different than the plan I have been doing and I was starting to see changes at my current caloric intake. I have faith in Scivation though……everyone who has tried it seems to rave about it so heres goes nothing. I might as well enjoy the extra calories while they last!

I have tried the recipes most people use to have their oatmeal….cinnamon, protein powder, splenda, etc. and no matter what, yuck!! I finally tried a recipe that wasn’t half bad, probably not the best macro breakdown, but taste-wise, it was yummy!. I used 1/4 cup oats, milk, pepper, eggbeaters and cheese (full fat which is the bad part of the recipe). I ended up with what tasted like hashbrowns and eggs…YUM. I’ll have to try it with reduced fat cheese and see if it tastes as good or I’m also thinking of maybe just not cooking the oatmeal and mixing it with eggs dry. I found another recipe that I want to try that is an oatmeal carrot cake recipe which is completely clean. Can’t wait to see how it turns out this weekend!

So, unfortunately, I haven’t gotten my plan from Scivation. For now, I am on my own! Its 10 weeks until Memorial Day weekend and my first beach trip. I am starting a 10 wk cutting plan today to hopefully get the fat off before switching my focus to building some muscle. I am starting out with 1500 calories per day with one day at maintenance. Here’s a sample diet plan:

Breakfast - 2 slices toasted Ezekiel Bread with eggbeaters, fruit

Snack - Fruit, Reduced Fat Cheese …might start bringing whey into work, looking for something easy and transportable to bring to work for this meal

Lunch - Shrimp, Spinach, and Quinoa

Snack - 1/2 serving almonds

Dinner - Chicken/Steak/Shrimp and veggies

Snack - Eggbeaters/Veggies/reduced fat cheese, 2 tb peanut butter

Training:

Upper Body, 1X Week

Lower Body, 2X Week

Abs, 3X Week

HIIT, 3X Week

LISS, 1X Week

Any comments are appreciated! I plan on starting with this and then evaluating my progress each week and tweaking from there. If I dont hit my goals, I’ll add more cardio or tighten my diet some more. I am worried about getting too strict with my diet though because I’m afraid I might binge so we’ll see how it goes.
