Okay..
So i started IP- using alternatives. Its Day 2 and im frustrated as ever. Every time before when i have done IP, i have always managed to lose at least 1 pound on the scale by the second day at least(granted its water weight, but still a pound is a pound) However, i jumped on the scale and found out that i actually went up a pound.
So what am i doing wrong? It makes me mad to think i worked so hard to get through the day, only to show nothing for it.
For Food and exercise:
I walked for 30 minutes on the treadmill at a pace of 3.0-3.5
Ran for 5 minutes at a pace of 5.0
I am trying to get into running again..so i walk for 4 minutes and then do 1 minute of solid running at a higher pace and then go back down to walking again. I do this intermittently until i hit 30 and then do a 5 minute cool down walk and stretch
Then i drink my first RTD at 12 noon
Then at 4pm I made a veggie stir fry , consisting of:
1 cup of cabbage
3/4 cup of raw mushrooms cut up
1/4 cup of bean sprouts
1 cup of broccoli slaw< this has raw broccoli shreds, cabbage shreds
1pkg of tofu shirtake noodles (4O calories and 1 carb for the whole package)
7oz of shrimp
2tbsp of EVOO
Pinch of salt
Few splashes of soy sauce to finish it off.
At 8:00 PM, i had a vanilla RTD
That was it besides water. For some reason i thought i went over my amount of veggies but i guess i could have had another cup.
I went to bed this morning at 1 am and here i am wide awake at 6:00 am un-able to sleep.
So.. is my problem that i exercised too much? Or is it that i didnt eat enough??? I guess i was supposed to have 1 more packet since i only had 2 in the day.
Any suggestions?
