I wonder why I am so hungry on my heavier workout days. I guess I really do need the extra protein.
I was working out hard (kickboxing and then running) for 2 hours a day before IP with strict calorie counting and DID NOT DROP any weight. It was SOOOO frustrating.
Now I cut back the heavy stuff, and workout 45 to 60 minutes and not every single day.
I think it is very important to keep the muscles toned. so many benefits to working out beyond losing.
Some of you are very inspiring!! thanks!!

thanks sonoio! how is the training going?

I am waiting to start next week since my weigh in is on Mondays...going to stock up on all the essentials and make it a go for next week! I will probably start up a blog about it so stay tuned!

talked to my doc this morning about the athletic protocol and he wants me to try a week at 5 packets on workout days.

I started today and I doubled up at breakfast to get my extra packet in, and then the rest of the day will as normal. I will tell you, that already the double packet for b-fast is really sticking with me. I still feel quite full and usually by now I am thinking about lunch!

I am hoping this will get me closer to the 3# a week average.
