CORRECTION/higher totals

With a LOT of help from Amber, I'm learning the RIGHT way of gaining lean muscle mass, losing weight, eating better and getting my numbers up to help improve my daily workouts.
I can see changes in my body, its functions and my workouts..
below is the RIGHT scale..

So my numbers for today:

EXERCISE: 1005
FOOD: 2526
CARBS: 253
PROTEIN:159
FAT: 115
my NET: -734 cals

While I'm not at my NORMAL daily intake of cals (2900)-I'm getting there..

Total Energy Expenditure?

Ok, so I put in all my info (to the best of my knowledge) and it came up with some weird ass number.. WTH? But then I have to figure out what and HOW much daily intake I should be having to lose weight, gain lean muscle mass.. Ok, I think I'm going to go CRAZY..

Trying to figure everything out is like planning a trip to the moon... Or maybe it's because I'm tried...

So as today was my rest/recovery day I really didn't do anything that could be "counted" as exercise. So I took a normal day and used those numbers.

Here's my numbers for today: (not good but not bad)..
NO EXERCISE TODAY---
Cals-2216 (better)
Carbs-285(good) ^than300
Fat-85(could've been less) less than 75
Pro-96(could've been higher)-about 119

Seems while I keep trying to eat better and more often, my energy level goes up (and so does my exercise).
I don't eat any animal products and LOVE the way I feel. Just wish I would start to see some changes in the scale.. The changes in my body are AMAZING.. My pec's, biceps, triceps,glutes,legs and traps are really taking off. I hope to post pic's the very end of Dec. or the beginning of Jan. about the same time as we do our next wave fit test.

What I've learned..

What I've learned

It's been a couple of days since my last blog. Things have been SUPER busy. But I can tell you that I have learned so much in the last few weeks about myself and my body. I've learned that just because you eat less doesn't mean you're going to lose weight. That for every 10 lbs of body fat you will lose 1-2 pounds of lean muscle mass. Which is just counter productive and that if you want to build LEAN MUSCLE MASS you have to make sure you eat to fuel that workout. 
What I haven't learned is how to eat clean, organic and healthy foods with no animal protein/products and still meet the HIGH calorie output I'm putting on myself and my body. I know it can be done, I have friends who (pretty much) follow the diet I follow and they seem to be able to reach their daily caloric intake while still having a low body fat, gaining lean muscle and still can function on a daily bases.
Yesterday was the 1st time in a long time that I ate over 2100 calories. The 2200 calories that I was told to eat is only a starting point for me. At some point I have to be able to eat more calories. While it felt strange eating all that food, this mornings weight training, running and ab work was AMAZING. I didn't hit any walls or bonk. If I keep telling myself that food IS fuel I'll have great workouts and get to my goals of low body fat and lean muscle mass..

I only have 11% to lose in my body fat and about 20-25lbs to reach my goals of low body fat and my goal weight. But even rit now I'm very proud of my overall weight loss. Which many of you may not know was over 80 pounds ago.. So if I can do 80+, then I know I can knock out 20-25 pounds!!

Well I've upped my calories, protein and carbs.. I NEVER believed that if you did that, that you could lose weight. I have more energy, sleep better, skin looks amazing and more workouts have IMPROVED by leaps and bounds.. I use to only eat about 800-maybe 1000 (rarely) and my workouts really showed-so did my body/muscles. While I was "toned" and trim. I still wasn't getting the lean muscle mass I wanted. So with the advice of an AMAZING weight lifter-she told me to start eating MORE.. But not just eat more, but eat more healthy foods. So I gave up red meat, then went to white meat for about 2 weeks and now I haven't had meat of any kind. And boy does my body feel the difference. I've also picked up a new sport-karate. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE karate. Even with all the bruises and aches and pains-we practice 4 nights a week (an hr each nite) I can't wait to go.
I also have put a running training schedule in place. I run 6 days a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are pre weight training runs (warm up runs). Then on Tuesday, Thursday I run at least 30 minutes (3+ miles), some times with Niko in his jogger and some times without. Then on Sunday I have a long run of 6 or more. I ALWAYS do ab/core work-20 minutes a day. My abs have started to split and I DIFFERENTLY have a 6 pak and its only been about 4-5 weeks.
I'm a FIRM believer that you get back what you put in. But in order for you to get the best out of your workouts, you HAVE to get beyond the whole, "if I eat less-I'll weigh less". Which in my book is the toughest thing to get past.
I've been called STRONG willed, bull headed and head strong.. Which in MOST cases it works in my favor.. But when it comes to "food" or my weight-thats another story.  when my body says I can't run another mile-my head kicks in and and pushes me to run another 2.. But when it comes to food, I've ALWAYS believed that the least amount you eat the better off your weight/body would be. Talk about a struggle..
Since starting this journey, I have changed MANY thoughts, plans and schedules-most (if not all) I hope were for the better to help me get to my goals.

Haven't blogged in a while.

Can't believe I haven't been on here in a while.. Life has been VERY BUSY to say the least. Well with all the hard weight training(3 days a wk), running (6 days a wk), karate (4 days)and normal life, home and kids it's a wonder I have time to pee.
Yesterday was the first time in a long time that I've worked out and felt it the following day. I upped the weight and reps. I've also changed my food, cals, protein but most of all carbs. I use to only eat about 25-30 carbs a day, and even that was HIGH for me but lately I've upped my carbs to 125-130 and have seen (& felt) results. I have great workouts and look at food more as fuel. I diffently can tell the difference in my energy level. So bring on the carbs (good carbs that is) and the workouts.. I'll have to post my yesterday's workout later.
PEACE<3
