Taking Control

naturaltan · 12-18-2003, 08:11 AM

in the end, you'll look back at Jodi comments like "count how many cheats ..." "eat this instead" "why did you eat this" and say thank you.

It is tough for someone like yourself who has admitted that eating clean isn't something you did in the past nor is it easy to start doing. But if you are determined to reach your goals, it will all come together for you. Keep working hard.

BTW ... that first mini goal might be, eat clean until your vacation. Next goal might be, within reason, eat as clean as you can on vacation.

I luv u NT! You totaly made my day. Yesterday was terrible-an emotional rollercoaster. I was so bummed. So depressed. So sad. Today is a new day and I just have to day positive. I had a great workout so I feel pretty good. Thanks for the tips! My goal is to eat AS clean as I can till my vac. With the exception of xmas eve and xmas day, 1 cheat meal each day. Maybe a few cheats throughout the day. BUT im not gonna let it turn into a BINGE day!

Morning girl! My vacation is for 2 weeks, all inclusive in the Mayan Riveria-Mexico, about 1 hour south of Cancun. I cannot wait!!!! Ive been looking forward to this vacation for 4 months! I missed a vacation last year cause my beau and I just built a new house, so this is gonna be sooo nice to relax for 2 weeks! Im not really gonna diet while on vac, I will be cautious though. As for when I come back Im not sure yet if Im gonna carb cycle. I might try a different diet which allow carbs daily-the no carb day pisses me off.

Not sure yet! Hope all is going well for ya!

on the southside, then you may have seen me.

I'm sure you'd remember me if you saw me this past year. I've been into coloured cornrows. If you see a well tanned fellow with orange cornrows, you'll know that's me.

**IainDaniel** · 12-19-2003, 09:20 AM

I love it I usually workout pretty late, 9 or 10pm.

I can't get up in the morning during the winter. It is still dark out, that means sleep

Come summer time I will probably go back to morning workouts, so I can enjoy the warm weather.

Jill · 12-19-2003, 09:24 AM

I luv working out from 8am-10am-thats my fav time! I havent worked out at night for a few years. Even getting their at 5 is dreadful.

I guess I just like my am routine....But work should come first, well sometimes.

All ready for xmas ID?

**IainDaniel** · 12-19-2003, 09:29 AM

I guess, I don't do any shopping I get too pissed off in the malls. I can't handle all the stupid people

I just have to buy a few small things for the wife, we agreed not to spend too much because all the renovations we have done will be our christmas present to each other.

What about yourself?

Jill · 12-19-2003, 09:39 AM

Sort of ready. Every year is the same. I hate malls and crowds and Im impatient. Gonna be a pretty relaxed xmas. A few gifts-my beau and I are buying each other new watches, no surprises! (Atleast i dont think so??. The biggest xmas presents to each other would be our trip!

**IainDaniel** · 12-19-2003, 09:47 AM

Cool yeah the Trip is a sweet idea.

What kind of Watches you guys looking at?

**IainDaniel** · 12-19-2003, 09:48 AM

I am a last minute shopper, I just like to get in and get out, no hassles. I have very little patience for malls.

naturaltan · 12-19-2003, 01:10 PM

the missus is big into watches. Now that we've bought the bottom line of most of the designer watches, I must now go the the next level ... and that's in the $1000 range

Jill · 12-19-2003, 02:47 PM

Im getting a new Gucci!

I'm not seeing enough carbs on your high carb days Jill. How many carbs do you figure you took in yesterday and why are you counting? Your high carb days are suppose to be eating carbs til satisfied.

Also, isn't today suppose to be a no carb day?

Jill · 12-20-2003, 10:05 AM

HEY CHICKY! I ate more than enough carbs yesterday, I just fogot to edit my post, I always do! Yup-I had some oats on my no carb day-I needed it this am. CAUSE, today is honestly my busiest day of the year at work. I just I had to be prepared. That is all the carbs Im having though. Thanks for checking on me!

Jill · 12-20-2003, 10:07 AM

I edited yesterday!

**Jodi** · 12-20-2003, 10:13 AM

Baked Potato - since when is a baked potato allowed, unless it was a SWEET potato.

Why no protein in meal 5? I still don't see enough carbs for a high carb day.

The no carb days have their purpose and without them your not going into a caloric deficit. Your eating as much as me, when you skip the no carbs, in comparison to bodyweight and I'm bulking.

Jill · 12-20-2003, 10:17 AM

It was the SKIN only of a baked potato!

Im only planning to eat the 47 carbs today, thats it! If you were at my work today you'd understand.

**Jodi** · 12-20-2003, 10:21 AM

But you've already eaten 62G.

Jill · 12-20-2003, 10:26 AM

62? I got 47 for today? Skin okay?

hikerchick · 12-20-2003, 10:28 AM

Hey Jill,
How are things going for you? I bet you're so excited for your vacation! I need one too!

No, the skin is not ok. You have listed 62G for your protein pancakes. Remember we don't deduct fiber in carb cycling.

Jill · 12-20-2003, 09:10 PM

62 g of carbs is p pancakes with blueberries. I ran out of fruit today. It was the most hectic day of the year at work today! Im glad its done. I thought the skin would be okay, oops! Im baking your cc meatloaf for meals tomorrow! I cant wait to try it. (Im gonna have a tiny taste when its done!)
