Water update!

nikegurl · 02-28-2003, 02:23 PM

3 liters - 1:20 pm. I'll bump it up a notch so I can make the drive home from work without having to make multiple pee stops. lol

and DAMN my legs hurt.

tomorrow night is my carb up. haven't done one in ages - i kept cheating before i got that far. lol. (no cheats to report)

nikegurl · 02-28-2003, 06:18 PM

hard to believe but i made it to my carb up without any cheats (and made it past it too without any). maybe i'm truly in my right mind again.

SATURDAY MEALS - slept late so I only got 5 meals in.

MEAL 1
3 whole eggs
4 egg whites

MEAL 2
can tuna
stalk celery
1 Tbs safflower mayo

MEAL 3
4 oz burger
1 c green beans
1 Tbs Newman's dressing

MEAL 4
shake - 3 scoops whey (30 g protein)
3 Tbs whipping cream

MEAL 5 - carb up
3/4 cup oatmeal
5 oz yam
5 oz banana
1 Tbs peanut butter

I'm always amazed how a yam can taste this good after following my eating plan. tasted very sweet and very "forbidden". and the banana in the oatmeal with the banana mashed in...pure heaven.

I felt super full when I was done with this meal but I didn't have any trouble eating it all.

nikegurl · 03-03-2003, 09:26 AM

Water intake over the weekend slipped a bit - 4 liters each day. Better than before but not the greatest. I'll get 6 in today for sure. 8:30 am and 1 liter down.

Observation - only 1 week of no cheats and I see a difference. I have to truly accept that with my body small slips DO matter and DO show.

Hey Nikegurl

Your doing great

I am competing soon and need to increase my H2O intake. Do you find it helps with cravings and feeling hungry?

Keep it up!

nikegurl · 03-03-2003, 10:59 AM

thanks jstar. the water intake is mostly a habit thing. i had been in the habit of not drinking enough for ages so now i'm changing that pattern.

i competed once ages ago and i know that at that time i was drinking tons and tons of water and it stopped being a real "effort". once i get the pattern established (good OR bad) it's easy to keep it going.

thanks again for the encouragement.

Hell Yes it/they MATTER!

I've been trying to get this point across to many people for a LONG LONG time! (two of them being that Gemini ....w8...lol)

nikegurl · 03-03-2003, 11:35 AM

yep - there's no question. i can see it for myself in the mirror after only a week. before i was being "basically" good with my eating. maybe every 2nd or 3rd day i'd have a cheat but the cheats weren't huge quantities. stuff like 1 piece of bread or 1 fig newton etc. i'm not saying they weren't cheats but they weren't all out binges/pig fests. i was starting to think that a little thing here and there could be so bad but now after only 1 week of not slipping at all and upping my water and i'm seeing a difference.

damn - could have saved a lot of time if i'd listened to you sooner.

(you knew that!) lol

marshal959 · 03-04-2003, 02:11 PM

Wow, you're doing awesome. Keep up the good work. Very inspiring to follow someone's successful progress.

nikegurl · 03-04-2003, 07:00 PM

Thanks for the kind words.

All is well with me. Water....is everyone sitting down?

Water was 7 liters today. I think that's funny. The strangest things amuse me.

Happy birthday! I know there's a thread...but I don't have time to find it, lol

nikegurl · 03-05-2003, 02:39 PM

Thanks w8! So umm....can I eat some brown rice tomorrow even though it's not carb up day?

Seriously - would that be particularly bad? Going out to eat at a super healthy really yummy Chinese restaurant and I can get steamed veggies and chicken over brown rice......

No.....get the rice on the side and LIMIT your portion...and NO MORE CHEATING!

Happy post B-day!

nikegurl · 03-06-2003, 09:31 AM

I'm going to skip the rice. I made it through my birthday with no cheat at all so now's not the time to go off course. I've only gone 1 week and 2 days without slipping up so I don't want to start making exceptions - I might make too many and start messing up again.

Stacey · 03-10-2003, 12:38 PM

where are ya?? Update needed!

nikegurl · 03-11-2003, 11:20 AM

yep! update very much needed.

the good news is i haven't been slacking at the gym and i haven't been cheating on my eating. i literally had 1 forkful of cake on my birthday last week and that was the only "oops"

i was away from my computer for a few days. playing catch up today but for sure i'll start logging it all in detail again by tomorrow at the latest.

thanks for checking on me!

Stacey · 03-11-2003, 11:30 AM

YA!!!

Glad your doing great girl!!
