Stopinthe excuses & starting a diary

I did really get alot of info about why i struggle w/ my weight and the little things to change to help. she feels strongly that i have a hormone imbalance which isnt making this easy on me...so she made some suggestions...and also wants me to cut most of my carbs out... like down to maybe 1 serving a week of bread/pasta whichever. Even the whole wheat she said can be too much on you. Its going to be a challenge doing that but i can do it.

Food for today

B: 1 pkt oatmeal

S: no snack

L: 2 egg omelet w/ 1 oz chicken, asparagus, red peppers, artichokes, 1 tsp parm ch. 1 4 oz yogurt
1 cup green tea

S: 1 banana w/ 1 tbsp PB
1 cup green tea

D: 4 oz salmon grilled w/ lemon & dill, steamed spinach, handful of cherry tomatoes w/ 1 oz mozz. ch.
1 4 oz glass of lite soy milk

water 100 oz

after tennis had a handful of mixed nuts

Exercise: 1.5 hrs tennis

Hmm sounds like a good idea, does she allow carbs in the form of fruits and veggies bc youll need to get fibre somehow. theres a huge spectrum of carbs out there did she mainly mean in the form bread and pastas and such...or like all carbs. sorry im not trying to be nosey just curious as to what your doing, sounds sorta like what im gonna atempt to do starting next week :)
let me know how your doing w/ it all :D
 
Yes.. she does.. she really wants me to go w/ the natural carbs and not the processed ones mostly. I just eat more bread & pasta than i realized and even if its whole grain at times it still turns to fat... and w/ my hormone malfunction its working against me. Ive also started soy & flax oil caps... she has some other ideas also like more green tea and that kind of thing.

Food for today:
B: 1 pkt oatmeal w/ 1tbsp of PB in it, 1/2 banana
coffee w/ soy milk

S: slimfast low carb shake (20 gr protein, only 2 net carbs, 180 cal)

not sure about the rest.

Going to do my hill from hell here today to warm up for my 10K tomorrow... I ll be pushing the stroller & Ill take my time but i know ill burn some serious cal doing this...
probably do a lot of stretching tonight so that im limber & ready...I guess there are alot of hill at this 10K..so im a little apprehensive as to what my stamina will be..but excited to try it.
 
good for you for eating salmon! i tried it because i heard on oprah it has soooo many benefits. but i couldnt stand the taste of it and im not a picky eater!
love cold green tea in small amounts, but when i tried replacing my coffee with hot green tea, ended up with head in toilet.
 
Yeah..i cant do tea or water in the morning..but i love my coffee & dont intend to give it up. I do iced green tea also...love that.
 
Good luck on your 10K!!!! im so happy for you :D your gonna be great, go get em girl!!!
dont worry so much,pace your self at first :) usually we get all excited and pumped up and try and push too much in the first few k's, but i find if you go nice and steady the whole way you end up not as tired.
let us know how you do!!! :D :cool:

I did it ladies...I did my 10K..which i found out is the toughest in NE under 2 hrs ..even w/ the hills has us averaging over 3 mph
 
Thanks L! Im tired and a bit sore today but i feel like i did something amazing yesterday..then my hubby and I went to a concert until 11pm last nite and i was on my feet most of the evening. The only down side is Im retaining fluid from yesterday and i think its the gatorade i drank..im up 2 lbs on the scale due to fluid...im gonna push the water today.
 
You did do something amazing girl!!! im very happy for you :D i remember the first one i did (for the march of dimes)you get such a feeling of accomplishment (sp?) when your done, glad that you had a great experience and that you had good weather to do it in.
i think retaining water is normal, drink lots of water today, cut back on the salts a little and everything will be back to normal in no time(that asparaguss trip you gave me works too)
Congrats!! :cool:
 
yes..i was thinkin the same thing..i have some asparagus in my fridge and ill be comsumin that for lunch i believe!
thanks again!

wicked..i found a fun avatar and i downloaded..it actually worked...i figured this is me..walking and walking and walking...leaving the fat behind!
