Switched over after an unsuccessful attempt to reconnect with my previous WW success. Was getting too obsessed and too many hypoglycemic highs and lows with the carbs so I thought I'd give SB a try. Been doing it since last Wednesday. I *only* have a few to lose (as if a "few" were any easier than more than a few!) - and then want to maintain and feel better.
I haven't really lost any weight yet - but I think I've been overdoing it on the nuts and ricotta. Going to try cutting back there.
Any other tips from folks to jump-start the weight loss?
Also...it's odd...I *feel* so much better - I'm off the carb roller coaster, I've had eggs for the first time in 20 years, I'm forcing down the fish (I'm a veggie who eats fish but wasn't really eating it that often)...
BUT - I'm also a runner - and I have been sputtering along for the last week with NO energy to speak of. Every workout is a huge effort, getting a bag out of my trunk was like lifting a boulder, and my long run yesterday (10 miles) felt like the 25th mile of the marathon I did last year. I ate a bowl of oatmeal prepared with milk and topped with some nuts before the run - and ate some almonds during the run - and a Balance Bar after. But by the time I got home I was practically shaking - I hit the PB jar pretty hard. At least it wasn't full of hydrogenated oil - but definately had cane sugar and raisins in it. It made me feel much better - but this is not the way I really want to feel
So then - any ideas as to how to prepare for a long run or something like the 3 mile run I have next Sunday? I'm definately feeling the lack of Glycogen stores.
