carbs at breakfast

amomono said:
Alright, so I'm just getting started in here. I'm currently 5'4" and weigh about 170 lbs... I would love to be at 150 lbs. Mainly I'm concerned about my problem areas of my mid section and thighs... so i'm planning on exercising and trying to eat healthy - which i do fairly well at. I'm hoping that this diary will enable me to keep track of what I am accomplishing on a daily basis, as well as encouraging me to keep at it! I'm going to try to post each day what I have eaten, as well as what I have done to exercise.

Today:

Breakfast: bowl of peanut butter Captain Crunch w/ milk and a cup of tea

Lunch: cup of tea, popcorn, apple (i had breakfast really late)

Dinner: Spinach salad w/ tomatoes, chicken, cheese, mushrooms and some triscuts

Exercise: 20 minutes on the gazelle

**had 4 beers out with friends**

Hi,
I was reading thru your diary here and even though I have fought my weight my whole life Ive dieted and gone to enough nutritionists to know some things. I wouldnt recommend doing anything high in sugar in the morning...ie. captain crunch or even too much on the fruit end. The glycemic (sugar) index is high and you need to watch that as you want something that will hold you until your next meal. I would recommend doing a high fiber whole wheat 1/2 bagel w/ a tbsp of peanut butter on it or lite cream cheese (for the protein).. w/ or w/out some high fiber sugarless or sugar free (use splenda) oatmeal. Oatmeal is a complex carb as is the bagel (w/ 3 or more grams of fiber) and the protein in the peanut butter will hold you. A breakfast like this and im set until noon or 1. The fiber is filling and it takes longer for your body to use it so it is more efficient in your body as it uses the fuel. I hope this helps

thanks =) I guess I haven't really needed to have a meal last me until 1pm or so though, because I have a snack mid morning to keep my metabolism up. I do tend to eat sweeter things for breakfast, b/c I don't like breakfast foods other times during the day. I often will eat an english muffin or bagel - in fact i just bought some whole wheat ones of both. so I'll have those more frequently. I made muffins last week and i've been trying to eat them all before they go bad =)

Exercise: walk to and from school 30 min, 25 squats, 75 crunches

I have had huge cravings all day today! I know it was because I didn't have a good breakfast - i overslept and was late for class and did not have the time. Tomorrow will be better! I feel like I just keep saying that over and over again. I need some encouragement to keep me motivated. I think that now my vacation is over, my short term goal is gone - i need to set myself a new goal and work hard for it!

So here it is... My goal is to loose 10lbs in the next month... so by May 1 I want to be down to 145. If I accomplish this goal - I'm treating myself to a shopping spree - a whole new outfit to fit the whole new me, just in time for summer. Here we go!
