Good going getting right back at it Sassy!!

Ive decided to add a carb food to my diet to help with the healing of my muscles. Recovery is too long, so I need to up my protein, and carbs a bit. So, I decided on lots more veggies, and one serving of oatmeal on weight lifting days.

Add to yesterday's food, 1 chocolate oatmeal (homemade) protein bar and a 2nd protein drink

Today's plan

Breaky~ protein/fibre shake
Lunch~ ?? dont know
Supper~ chicken ceasar salad......have to use the last of the bacon.

Tomorrow starts some changes in eating....time to lower some of the fat, and raise some of the carbs. Baby steps

Jan 21
Lunch: Spinach salad w/egg, onion & HM dressing
Dinner: Taco salad with lettuce (of course), bl. olives, tom's, cheese & sr. cream
Snack: L/C choc. shake with 1 tbsp. nat. PB & 1 tbsp. Davinci banana syrup

Coffee: 6 cups
Water: 124 ozs

Robin - good luck with adding the carbs in & lowering the fat. I hope it helps your recovery time!!

Amber - You go girl!! You're doing great!

Well my scale went backwards yesterday and today. I've been eating too many "low carb" treats. They aren't low carb when you eat too many of them. So today I need to get to the grocery store and buy some legal foods and get away from those that aren't so legal.

I'm not changing my stats, because I think this condition is just addtional water weight that will fall back off with a few days of good behaviour. If it doesn't I will adjust them then.

I have done well again today!! I drank all of my H20, ate all my veggies, stayed w/in my points and did some vigorous grocery shopping today!!

Also, my family has offered any financial help me and my hubby might need until I find another job. So a huge weight has been lifted. No matter what we will be okay! Thanks again for all the support!!! It really helps me keep at it!!

B:1/2c. Special K LC cereal w/2T. milk
L:Salad w/eggs, cheese, olives, bacon and ranch drsg.
S:Baked Chicken w/broccoli
Water:at least 64ozs. (more like 100+ to flush out my system)
Exercise:30 reverse stomach crunches and 20 minutes on the bike.

Well - I'm depressed this morning. I hit 169 last Thursday and hung there for 3 days, which is OK because it was TOM and I figured I'd stall out for a few days. Then yesterday, I got my post-TOM "whoosh" down to 167.5. YEAY! BUT, this AM I'm back to 171. What's up with that?

Reviewed my food journal. I've been under 20 carbs for the duration (since 01/02/06). Yesterday I was at 16. I did have a packet of pumpkin seeds last night which contained a LOT of sodium, so I'm wondering if I'm retaining water.

I dunno. I won't give up - but it sure is depressing to weigh exactly the same as I did last Monday. (Monday is my weigh-in day at the Y, they are doing a special weight loss challenge over there that I'm in).

I'm going to be defiant and not change my ticker for a day or so...

I have been very bad. Not only have I not been posting here, I went on a serious binge yesterday. I was doing soo good, too. This is what happened- I was at 156 for 3-4 days so I figured that if I had a day of not worrying about carbs. I ate pizza, cookies, drank juice, ate chips...Basically...I went all out! I thought I would get my metabolism up. I dunno if I did that but I do know my confidence was shot down and my body is angry with me(tummy ache) I feel so horrible for taking advantage of this. So...here I am...back to square one. I weighed myself this morn...up 3 lbs, can you believe it...sheesh! Well, I am RE-committing myself to the challange...hoping that I can learn from this HUGE mistake. I am paying the consequences for my lack of control. I'm just gonna pick myself up and continue towards the goal. ~Becca

Or else I cut myself too much slack. Ok...didn't eat a whole bunch today~Gonna try my hardest to meet my 20 carbs tomorrow Here's what I ate today:
