MJ's Road To Fitness

I don't know how you're doing the whole raw thing! I think I would starve! Good for you for keeping with it for the most part. A little protein powder or chicken broth won't kill ya!

About the whole dating thing, I agree it sucks! It can be so confusing. What if he's waiting for you to call? You never know, it can't hurt to call once I don't think. Then if he doesn't ever call back then you know he's just an ass. I don't know, I'm glad I don't have to deal with that crap anymore. However, if you don't want to call him, then good for you!

I hate those kind of dreams, I have weird ones like that too where you're just not thinking about things and they pop up and you're like what the hell! I mean I had a dream that my hubby phoned my ex and was pretending to order a pizza but instead of pizza he was describing me to piss off my ex. Then later my ex went up to him with a huge hot bowl of soup or tomato sauce (I don't know which) and tried to splash him with it. I was sooo pissed off, I could see my hubby get so angry and it looked like a fight was going to start and I was yelling at my hubby to punch my ex in the face. LOL... Now you tell me what the hell! LOL oy...
 
Miss JB. I'm so proud of you for sticking with it. Way to go. Baby steps!
I love reading this diary for a noisy of positivity.

I had a dream about my high school sweetheart kissing me this morning!! OMG! I am going to be seeing him in 6 weeks for the wedding for the first time in 6 years. I swear when I am conscious I don't have those thoughts!! What is happening to me??? Ugh!!! He is so not my type anymore or good for me. I must be getting desperate in my head! LOL

Lol, that's just your head playing silly bonkers with you. You've probably been thinking a lot about your maybe date this weekend, which leads you to think about other times you dated. You know you'll see your highschool ex soon, so your head filled him in during your dream. I hate it when that happens!

LOL! That's a funny dream Risty! I love the soup part. Everytime I cleanse have really vivid dreams. It's odd.

Good point mizzie! So true!! My head is swirling with thoughts of random guys!! Ahhhhh!!!

At least I am in the mental zone of dating, so a man will come forth soon enough I'm sure of it. I will 'attract' him one thought and dream at a time. hehe
 
So I logged back into fitday after being away for a few years. Wow, I did not realize how helpful that site is!!

Even tells me how many calories I can eat each day to reach my goal for the wedding. I love the chart of the daily nutrients consumed, so cool!! I had no idea I am lacking so many vitamins in my food. I guess I don't pay enough attention.

So I added an Emergen-C to my daily dose of fluids and it really helped boost a lot of my nutrients.

Going to have to get in my workout soon, before I fatigue out. It's such a lovely day today!!
 
Hi MJ; I've used fitday for years and I love it for the reasons you describe, particularly the spread between carbs, protein and fat. I try to keep my carbs at 55% or thereabouts and my protein at 20% and good fat at 25% ballpark. I use Activities, Journal, Weight and Weight Goal. It's just a fantastic tool for keeping me honest.

Way to go on adding the nutrients. You must be getting a lot with all your veggies too.

I love the pie chart of the carb, fat, protein break down also! So cool!!

I found it quite difficult to get all the daily recommended allowances of vitamins & minerals yesterday! I got over 100% on about half of them.

This is going to be my new obsession, to eat for health and proper nutrients!! I need to learn how to get in the proper dose, so I can look young and have vigor forever!!! LOL

I've never tried it before...Hmmmm *scampers off to check it out*

Hey Sunflower, it's really come a long way, that site. I love it!!! so helpful.

The only thing that blows is that I can't always find my foods on their lists, so I have to create a custom food. Since I eat the same stuff most of the time, I am glad they have that option, so that way it gets saved in a list for me.

I am going to be a fitday junkie in no time.
 
Saturday Update:

On the diet front:

Doing good over here, staying the course and eating raw foods. I did buy some Spicy V8 Vegetable Juice since I am craving some salt big time.

Yesterday I went shopping for fresh fruits and veggies. Wow are they expensive now, and especially for Organic!

A cantelope cost me $5.00!! Are you kidding me??

My new obsession is to get in enough vitamins & minerals from food. This is more difficult than I imagined. I am using fitday to track my consumption. I got out my book called "The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods" yesterday to look at all the health benefits of the live foods I am consuming. Who knew that blueberries improve night vision??? I didn't!!

Anyhow, I am making fresh Strawberry Kiwi Juice for breakfast, followed up with some fresh pineapple juice.

My shopping list
2 baskets Strawberries
1 basket blueberries
1 cantelope
1 watermelon
1 bag Kiwi
1 bag apples
2 large nectarines
1 bag grapes
2 cucumbers
1 clove fresh garlic
1 bag baby onions
1 bundle cilantro
4 large tomatoes
1 bundle broccoli
1 small head cabbage
1 bundle cauliflower
2 jalapenos green
2 jalapens red
1 basket of mini bell peppers
1 bag baby carrots

Should make for some interesting juice combos this weekend.

I'm off to check on diaries.
 
Sunday Update:

Went out to the Comedy show last night. Had a cobb salad, that's the first meat I had all week, some chicken on the salad. OMG was it good!! I drank most of my calories, topped out at 1,500 for Saturday, not too bad. I was so tempted to eat a burrito again, but stayed strong!!

Back on raw foods today. So far so good, but I am craving meat!! Ugh, going to drink a protein shake to settle me down.

Went for a 90 min bike ride today, (15 miles) along the creek. It was fun!!

Back later to post more...

Woooow that bike ride sounds like a lot of fun! Good for you getting your exercise and some SUN while you're at it!

I WISH we had some creeks out here, but all we got are dry creek beds, and cacti. WEEW :coolgleamA:

Anyways, keep up the effort MJB! :D
 
Ugh, been sick since Monday!!!

I don't feel well at all today.

Been home sick from work the last 2 days. Going to take it easy today.

Will be back to post more when I feel better.

Hope you all are well.
 
That sucks MJ! Hope you feel better! no worries about updating the BL challenge - tackle it when you get better. :grouphug: water, water, water!
 
Just wanted to say you are doing great and also thank you for supporting me and posting in my own journal. I hope you feel better soon.

Fluids are your friend!
