Im a restarter, its been about 2 weeks and I dont have all that much to lose, but I would definitely like to lose 5 pounds. I dont think I will ever be 128, my lowest adult weight was 131 and I fought tooth and nail to get there.
When the weather is nice, I run maybe three days per week for about an hour, no weights at this time but have a very active lifestyle with 4 young kids, etc...I have very little downtime as I also do some part time computer work at home when the kids go to bed at night...so Im up till at least 12 every night. Then there are weeks like this one, where I havent run at all...I plan in the next few weeks to get back to at least 2hrs per week but my schedule has been nutty.
Now, I put myself back on Gold with Lites and my calories range from 1100-1350 per day, kind of zig-zagged each day so I keep it different. I had a CC of pizza Saturday night, that was my one bad (I feel guilty with CC's ) I rotate light and heavy proteins, mainly chicken, fish, egg whites, veggie burgers and low sodium roast beef 2 times per week...no peanut butter and not really red meat otherwise. Starches are usually consumed before my 2nd lite of the day and combine them with a dairy or protein each time. Fruits are typically berries, grapefruits,peaches, sometimes an apple or orange. I try and eat every 3hrs and drink all of my water and then some.
All this said, Im not really losing so much...in fact, last week I was down to 136.8 and today was back at 138. Im bummed, cos people who started at the same time as me, like Vic, have more consistent loss and I am wondering if its cos Ive already done the program, or its cos I am closer to goal (which I think is rubbish since Evette rocks the house PAST goal!) or if I am on the wrong plan. Can one of you LAWL goddesses give me your two cents??????
