Hey Ba-beh!

Good hearing from you (voice-wise) last night! I hope what I said "food-wise" helps you a little better. Hey, it's worth a shot and if all else fails, then you can revert back to what you we're doing! Also, my advice of eat first upon waking, shuffling the kids off to their destination and then, DEVOTE your cardio/workout for an hour or so. Guess what? You get to eat 20 mins afterwards! Lastly, NO COMPUTER after the kids are off either!!! Trust me, you'll thank me for that!

NOW, what was that phrase I kept saying to you last night??

OK, getting back to YOU!!

Jen- Thanks honey, I'll do just that, add the extra scoop and oatmeal (I love oatmeal) Someone told me it's better to take fish oil on an empty stomach, it's absorbed better, what do you think????

Heather- Glad your doing better, I'll be so glad when this sickness is out of my house, my little Shauny is sick now........ I'm going to bleach the hell out of my house today, hehe, I use bleach on everything, even my dishes

Happy Saturday to you too


Kinda blew off my training/diet yesterday and I haven't started today out good either, I'll do better for the rest of the day, but I'm going to stay low key and rest later.........really need to get better.

"JMT"
We're going to Florida in about 3 weeks, the time crept up on me so fast, my head is saying switch to Keto for the next 3 weeks, feeling very discouraged, probably cuz of being sick and tired, I can't wait for some warm weather though, it's been so cold, below zero and with the wind chill, it was like -40 degrees, brrrrrrrr..........I think it will be a good 3 week vacation, and I really really need it....

Going to do some real soul searching while away, something about sitting on a beach by the ocean in the sun, almost speaks to your soul, or up on a mountain top

I have lots to consider, turning 40 soon, I didn't think it would change anything about me, but it is, almost like starting a new chapter in my book of life, and I am so ready for it, life can be very confusing at times, I've always believed things happen for a reason in my life, I do question it sometimes but usually give it time to reveal what it is I'm suppose to learn, but once in a while I don't want to go to the school of life, I just want to hang out at recess.......

Anyway, for those of you that don't know me I post "JMT" sometimes, and it's usually really long, haha, this is a short one just my way of thinking and looking at what's in my head..........


OK going to douche out my house.........

LMAO Yep I even made a little schedule for myself regarding my daily routine, something about list they seem to help me alot, ever see the movie "Colored Purple" I think that's the full title, Oprah was in it, well one of the girls was learning to read so she had little notes all over the place with the word written on it for each thing the note was attached to, anyway, maybe I should do that, hahaha, I've always been a visual/hands on learner, know what I mean................trust you isn't that what all men say, LMAO, j/k

And the one thing we talked about with your newest endeavor, I say "Go for it" life is way to short to stand around thinking about "IF"...........TTYL, have a great day honey

Well I've had a real shitty weekend diet and training wise, always starting over after the weekends, that's my new mini-goal to actually make it through the weekend as planned.......I'm going to be off line for a few days, chat with ya when I get back, someone is coming to visit it's ok probably the last time..........

I've decided to fast tomorrow (Monday)......need to clean out and meditate, I've actually never made it a whole day, I crack around 8pm, proabably should go to bed at that time, then I would make it, the meditation is something I've done for years, really helps me get centered, if I could only think of doing it b4 I feel totally whacked out.

Anyway, I've decided to go back to my Keto, I'm sure alot of you don't think it's good for me but it works very well, I will carb up on Sundays as previously planned, my focus for the next few weeks will be on my diet, I will continue training, definitely cardio, but I will not freak out if I miss a day, my w8 loss is my first goal, training my body to get back in shape is my second goal, I know they work together but this is the way it has to be for me right now I know my plan(goals) don't seem to fit at a BB board, I probably don't even belong here but this was the first board I came to, plus my eventual plan is to possibly BB and even if I don't do it, I want to look like I do, and NO I'm not whining, just prioritizing..

Good luck Hun, my sweetie is very big into fasting and detoxing. Not for me, I need to eat, but he has fasted for 30 days once. He believes it cleanses his body and mind.... You should do what works for YOU... Let me know how it goes... Sapph

glad to see you back.

i can really relate to things falling apart on weekends and in my case it's not 'cause i'm out having crazy fun or partying. it's just the change in routine that throws me. i always seem to miss meals on weekends and THAT is the thing most likely to lead to a cheat for me.

but enough about me....hope you're doing ok.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Or not.

katie64

Thanks NG, my week was actually pretty good diet and training wise, just personal stuff going on, which is now over, the paths we tend to choose in life seem to lead to harder learning lessons than one can handle, at least they do for me, hope your well honey.

I really missed everyone this week, IM is a huge support network for me, I think I was actually going through withdrawals, haha

I'll be doing the TKD diet, which as you know I will be carbing up after w/o's, I think that's the only time I have to do it, after this I'm not fucking with my diet anymore, and I like my training so that stays as is, as far as reaching certain goals on my b-day, it's not going to happen but I will continue to strive for personal mini-goals to be reached monthly, breaking it down and simplifying it even more, and I really can't wait to get to Florida, my Mom says the weather is great

And personally, this week has been rather traumatic for me, so my journal may fill up with emotional talk or I may just let it go, I'll hope for the latter............

Hey ba-beh! Glad you survived the week and also, that you're doing what YOU want to do!

See ya in a few weeks and oh yeah... check your PM's or your phone for that matter! TONIGHT!!!!

Missed talking 2 you!

PS. Do I have a story for you!

katie64

Wow, all of you are so great, certainly changes my perspective around 100% after this past week........

Sapph TKD is carbing up after w/o, so basically I still have 25 to 50g of carbs a day, just at a specific time, which is still what HAN is having me do, I think

Jen, doing the diet for as long as it takes, I think HAN would agree with this, it's pretty much the same, I decided against the Keto because of getting too tired, I'm already prone to tiredness so I need to keep as much energy as I can..........I need to check and see if I should do carbs after am cardio or if I can just have them after w8 training?????

Hi Gary

Hmmmmmmmmm my phone isn't ringing David missed talking with you too and the big bad wolf is gone

Now I need to go read everyone's journals and catch up on you all........

ONLY 25 to 50 grams of carbs in TOTAL all day? WOW!! That is very low, isn't it? Do you get tired eating that few carbs?

Well it might be low, but it's more than I actually want per day, 25g is more like it for me, carbs are what make me feel sluggish and bloated thus making me tired, but I still think I need that little bit each day, I know that doesn't make alot of sense but I've done alot of testing with diets so I know what works for me temporarily, this is only short term, when I reach my w8 goal, I will go on more of a life long diet style...

Reach a 5lb w8loss goal today, but I really think it was water/monthly/and lack of food this past week...........I will be breaking my w8 loss goal down to 5lbs every 2 weeks, we'll see how it goes........shouldn't be too hard as long as I eat and eat right

Training is good but I have to do more stretching exercises, went back into physical therapy today for my lower back, she thinks it's all muscular issues (tendonitis) , or it simply was bruised during the accidcent and hasn't healed yet
