Miette - Hope your recovery is swift and easy. Be gentle on your body and you can get back to usual sooner.
Robin - Wow! Moderator - that's awesome, congrats! I'm new here but I have learned a lot from reading your posts - so positive.
Petra - I'm glad that tonight is better. How old is your son?
CoolMom - I love green tea.....I need to drink it in the AM instead of coffee. I'm addicted to the caffeine, but I'm more addicted to the taste of coffee, as I can drink decaf and be fine.
JayJay - sounds like you had a great day for exercise! Awesome!
GrammyL - sorry you had a bum day at work.....computers frustrate me so much
upswife - inches are great! I would prefer that to losing pounds....I read that people who dieted alone lost weight, but their body fat % didn't change, but people who "dieted" and exercised lost both pounds and fat.
ulapie - Maybe you could try making a milkshake that is less calorie-dense. Skim milk, ice to thicken it, some flax oil, vanilla extract or some protein powder. It may give you the feeling of a milkshake with icecream....maybe.....
I drank them a lot when I was pregnant with Laurel and Olivia. Adding a banana, strawberries or peaches was good too. Love Jay Robb's protein powder!!!
Okay, so I previously posted on CCs about my bad encounter with Mexican food. So I won't get into that again.....my numbers today were:
Total Calories: 2225
Fat: 83 (36%)
Carbs: 295 (47%)
Fiber: 49
Protein: 90 (17%)
My calories were way higher than they had been, but actually about what I need. I went to Curves, and worked really hard.....man, it was a good workout!
Fat was too high, but I knew that was coming. Protein was right on target, fiber was awesome for me. I guess it was those 2 salads I ate.....had chickpeas on my dinner salad. Mmmmmmm.
