ugh. This day has turned out very difficult for me. Perhaps I am taking the high carb day too far - here is my diet so far today:

1- 1 cup oatmeal w/2 scoops PP

2- tuna w/ some almonds

3 - chicken (canned a big one) w/ mushrooms

4- 1 cup oatmeal 2 scoops PP

I am F-in stuffed. I will be heading to the gym in an hour - am I taking the carbs too far? After my workout I will have brown rice and chicken.

I have not really measured anything today just kind of poured stuff in a bowl - I figured from reading the article that I could take a day off from measuring and counting. Am I mistaken???? I have to admit - that part was fun and very satisfying. It seemed to relieve stress.

I've probably had way over my maint. in calories.......<nail biting>

sorry. just a rant. Had to get it out. Good fun though - I'll post how I did at the gym today - its leg day!!!!!!!!!!!! Not my fav but if your gonna eat your arse off its best for me on leg day.

ooops. See now I'm not very good at posting a diet. W/ each carb meal I had some grapes. - an apple does sound pretty yummy. Well not right NOW, but maybe later. Will do w/ those green beans! Thanks for the advice!

diet looks great hun! Dont let yourself get too caught up in the exact amounts of carbs and calories. let the diet plan work itself out. have faith in it and like you said yourself, it seemed to relieve stress!
now just get some veggies and small fruit in there and you will make me a happy camper! hehe

Yeah. But tomorrow is the start of a weekend. The hardest two days all week...... I used to dread them cuz I was always running around and it seemed like I cheated no matter how hard I tried - and I would just be discouraged and vow to stay home all weekend by myself and if I did that I could not get to the gym and then I was like, Cindy , hey come on now. Sheesh. Get a freakin life already. Live a little. Weekends are fun again.

Okay I followed the diet for yesterday except these things. Meal four was at 3:00 - and I was at the gym <not working out the whole time - running my mouth-> till eight! I was starving by then and my last meal was this.

1 low carb tortillia w/ brown rice and cajun turkey w/ some onions and some brown rice on the side w/ about 2 handfuls of peanuts. Oh yeah - and a whole can of green beans........ the big ones.

My stomach hurt so bad when I was done and I felt soooo horrible I almost decided I would never eat again! lol.

Anyway today is a no carb day so I should feel better and less well, fat. I think it was the many peanuts that made me feel full. I should make sure not to wait so long between meals so I am not starving and overeat.

Plus yesterday all I did was chest and something hurt really bad I had such a bad workout - thats discouraging I like it when I work hard and when i dont.......
Today :

Meal One - Protein Shake

Meal Two - tuna w/ almonds

Meal Three - tuna + suggestions??? I dont have anything here I'm at work and I have not been home all week. Not since Monday. All I have is a lifetime supply of tuna. lol

I'll post more later.
Now that I think about it I should have done chest today and back and bi's yesterday.... low carb day today. Wonder how I'll do........................

I like tuna, slightly grilled with a few veggies and then put on lettuce and drizzled with some olive oil good stuff.

Its good to see that your aware of taking too long between meals and the effects that it causes. todays another day hun and its all about learning from our mistakes and making improvments that way

how is the injury this morning?? was it your rotar cuffs (shoulders?) ? Take it easy on it and let it repair.. hope its better soon!
