Why are you embarrassed about your intake today? It was all healthy! Don't sweat it girl! Also. you got me hooked on textfromdog lololol soooo funnyyy

AHHHH textfromdog is so addicting hahaha its so great! Good to know I got someone hooked on it:) xo
Intake 6/29 (kinda embarassing)
This is more like a bulking/gaining weight intake rather than a cutting intake. But it’s just one day so I’m not gonna sweat it. Starting again tomorrow!
Meal one (pre workout): 1 Wasa cracker light rye, 1 1/2 tsp WF chocolate pb
Meal two (post cardio): 1/2 cup Mcmann’s steel cut oats, 1tbsp natural honey, Omelette with 1/2cup Egg Beaters whites and 1oz chicken thigh meat, 1 banana
Meal three: Sweet sweet trail mix, sip of a blueberry-banana-spinach smoothie
Meal four: Whole wheat pits with 1tbsp WF chocolate pb, 1cup Kix cereal, 1 banana, more watermelon then I can count
Meal five: Salad with 2oz edamame, shredded carrot, zucchini, a little bit of feta, balsamic dressing, a billion servings of my sweet sweet trail mix, 1oz chicken thigh meat
Meal six: Pink lady apple, 2cups Cheerios apple cinnamon
I love the attitude you're having. It is okay to slip up, everybody does because we are human and we are not perfect. You're on a journey and this is just a small bump in the road. Don't let it get you down, keep going just like you're doing. I'm proud of you and your determination inspires me and so many others. <3
This means alot.. I really hope I can inspire people with everything I’ve done and everything I’m doing now. Thank you xo
Not a good day
Hardly ran around at work today (100 degrees outside.. I almost passed out just walking to the field), and then I biged on trail mix.
I guess you could say I ”failed” the cutting diet I just started, but I believe my little binge is just a “trip” instead of a complete “fall”. I tripped over my own two feet and fell on the ground, only to stand back up, rub the dirt off my knees, and continue on.
I can do this. xo
Thanks so much for answering my question, Ari. You helped me a lot :) <3 and.. Keep always in mind that you are ONE TOUGHT PRETTY GIRL! xo
Ofcourse hunn! Glad I could help:) and thank you! xo

I was wondering what you think of my intake today. Breakfast: 1c of oats with 1/2 banana, 1/4c raspberries, and 1tbsp almond butter. Post workout snack: Protein shake w. Almond milk. Lunch: Tofu, 2c steamed broccoli, 1/2c black beans, Ezekiel toast w. 1tbsp hummus. Snack: Apple and Raw bar. D: 1c wheat pasta with Arrabiatta sauce and Asparagus. S: Protein shake with Almond milk. Is this okay or should I change anything?
That sounds amazing! I’d keep doing what you’re doing xo
what the fuck
What..?
Are you eating low carb? I want to start weight lifting too, but I'm not sure how many carbs per day to eat because I've heard you should eat high carb for bulking and low carb for cutting. I tried to add them up from your meal plan, but I wasn't sure exactly haha ps you are beautiful and you remind me of beccasfitlife cause you guys are both SO pretty and you both lift!
Eh yeah I guess.. I eat alot of carbs for breakfast after morning cardio and then throughout the day my carbs come from a little bit of grains and alot of veggies and fruit. If you do alot of cardio, eat your carbs! But make sure its whole grain, ezekiel, or oats instead of white flour products.
AHH thank you so much! Becca is deffinitely my idol, so it means alot to be compared to her:) xo
i'm the same anon haha sorry for all the questions! :P but how long do you work out?
Haha np love! It depends.. I do 20min of cardio first thing in the morning, and then I do 10-20min cardio in the afternoon with around 30-40min of weights. Plus, most weeks in the summer I’m working camps so I’m running around all day xo
about how many calories is your cutting meal plan? :)
1700 xo
Please, can you help me? How can I put together a cutting/bulking routine? When is it appropriate to do each? and what can you tell me about the diet? Thank you SO much Ari. <3
Np love!
Honestly my cutting routine is just one I made up by taking ideas from bodybuilding.com
If you want to keep your muscle but work on burning off fat and leaning out, try a cutting routine. If you want to increase your muscle mass, follow a bulking routine.
Check out these articles for more info on cutting/bulking! Honestly I don’t really know much about them haha but I’m studying up:) xo
