Hey there~

well I'm not sure if thats my stomach problem or not?! I need to do research on it. I can't eat beef w/o throwing up- (been like that for 8 yrs or more)-- I can't eat before getting into a car--I will get sick. And my list goes on & on.... won't bore ya

Your journal looks really good!! Keep up the great work!

stacey- try digestive enzymes..they help alot when trying to eat certain foods. best advice is just listen to your body and see what makes it agree and not agree. Biofeed back is best indicator

I feel like that today too. Watch your cardio-too much will just BURN muscle. Focus on your diet and weight training more. Cheer up sunshine! We all have shitty days like that!

Yes, the high sodium and carbonation I believe. I miss my beloved Diet Pepsi!

greekbondechic......You shouldn't be depressed. Trust me you have NOTHING to worry about. You going it going on. Some days you are going to feel like a champ and some days you aren't. Just stick it out and things will turn around. It's all about perception hun.

Stacey....Agreed.

greekblondechic.....Patience is key. People sometimes think it is supposed to happen so quickly and then they eventually give up. You aren't though. Stay focused.

Wow! Relax, you are being entirely too hard on yourself, you're talking crazy talk.

When running lower carb diets most people have to adjust, I know the first time I dropped carbs COMPLETELY from my diet it took about 4 days to even begin adjusting. After that I just did moderate carbs with oatmeal as my primary carb source, and was much better.

Persistence is what pays off, which is where most people fail.

45mins cardio

starlight mint
1/2c oatmeal 6 whites sf syrup cinnamon
3 strawberries

can tuna, salad, 1/2 oz peanuts
40 cherries (pms and they were soooo good *foodgasm*)

too many peanuts, some almonds (pms and boredom)
box sf jello

1.5 low carb protein bars (again pms..not going to buy anymore)

diet sodas, diet v8 tropical splash (better than eating chocolate and junk food!!!!)

1/2 big chicken salad w tad regular honey mustard and lite ranch
ordered no cheese on it so it wont tempt me hehe
ate a couple pieces of the pineapple on it, not more than 1/2-1 ring

other 1/2 of salad w no cal honey mustard by walden farms

im a fake food freak, its bad i know...but im breaking myself in slowly..least i got over my sf ff pudding and my sf candy and sf gum addictions..

PMS is the mother of all excuses

Slowly is better than nothing! The first step is always the hardest, so many people dont even try.

Sometimes that is what the cheat meal is good for in my case, reminding me that I dont want to eat like that all the time.

VIV,
I put away more food last night then then in a whole day! luckily the food was made by my freinds that were into fitness so it wasn't that bad (well some of it was) LOL. The brownies and heavy pound cake, and other little goodies did me in, but i took about 4 ripped fuels , 8 tabs of ALA through out the night and was actually fine in the morning. I had about 2 drinks (diet coke and absolute ) a few coor light beer and I was feeling good, buit I was in control

Hey, where's my new year pics?



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
