slimfitd

Ok first of all I am loving this site, I discovered this site about a week ago, whilst researching t3/clen. I have been reading all the forums and I am so hooked. The information is so informative and sensible, hence I decided to join the forum and ask for some advice.

So heres my story, will try to include as much as possible ….I am a 34yr old female ex athlete. I am 5ft 10 and 209 pounds and 28% body fat. I still play netball competitively well that was until last year.

I started last years spring netball season knowing I was not fully fit and somehow felt I had a lot less energy even though I was quite a regular gym goer. Towards the end of the season I sprained my knee and had to sit out the rest of the season & could not train in the gym either. Once I recovered I found that my energy levels were quite low and went to see the doctor who did a blood test and found that my iron levels were very low.

In the autumn of last year, after no exercise for a couple of months I sprained my ankle really badly and was laid up for the rest of the year. I gained a stone and a half from September last year to now.

I have been invited back to join the team and the season starts in April, I need to shed the body fat, get some energy, get slim and get fit.

So I have gone back to the gym just started cardio I try to go 3-5 times a week but in reality due to work schedule, I go 1-2 times a week, but I know I have to really up that. I aslo need to include strength training but don't know how.

Below is my diet, it not like a diet to lose weight or anything, but this is what I eat.

Mornings, (depending on time & day)
Oats, or
Boiled eggs on ryvita or
Fiber smoothies

Mid morning
Bananas or
Fruit or
Fiber smoothies

Lunch
Stir fry veg with chicken & liver (no noodles) or
Cabbage soup with veg chicken & liver or
Low fat tortilla wrap

Mid Afternoon snack
Carrots, or Fruit or Fiber smoothies

Dinner
Soup or
Brown rice with a chicken dish or
Salmon or trout with mash both with load of veg

That’s roughly about it I don’t do junk food and I make everything including my fibre smoothies. I don’t like cold food or cold water, I drink about a litre of warm water a day but I drink about 2 litres of herbal tea a day, straight up herbal tea, no fancy fruit stuff or sweetener, just plain hot water and tea bag.

I take Vitamin C and Glucosamine supplement. I also take Triphala which is a herbal supplement for digestive tract.

I am also looking for a supplement that would greatly increase my energy whilst in the gym.
Many thanks for your help and advice
