I know the non dairy is not good for you.. if you look at it this way, everything is not good for you.. I only use little amt. of the non dairy powder

greekblondechic

I know silly, I'm not uptight like that, but I was just sayin you can possibly use it as a substitute and u'll get a tiny bit more protein in too

sara

You right! it's fat free, and I can drink the tea/cocoa/coffee anytime doesn't have to be the time of my meals and I'm only getting little protein and no fat..

greekblondechic

try it

sara

I gotta do my english report now.. its really tough

Sara...I was reading in Greeky's journal about the dr saying you have protein in your urine. I have had chronic hemtoria for years. Women who are pyshically active as in lifting weights, running etc are more apt to have it present there. Be sure to have the proper tests done to be sure that it is nothing serious. They have the one where they do the dye into a vein, then Xray you to make sure things are doing what they are suppose to be doing. They also have what is called a cystopicy (my spelling sucks tonight) and then finally an ultra sound. I've been through every one of them, couldn't find anything wrong. Just something that some ladies just have.

Thanx hun I did check with my doctor for the protein problem, I did a 24 hr. uraine test and he found little amt of protein, I did ultra sound for my kidney like 5 years ago and everything was normal.. now I just check my uraine every six months.. they did some blood test and nothing was there

JLB001

They'll probably never find anything. Mine never did. I use to have to go once a yr to have it checked, then went to a urologist that said I was fine and not to worry about. Can you believe that when I had to do a dru test for work, I had to get written authorization from my dr saying I wasn't gonna kick the bucket on them. I about died laughing.

JLB001

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on."

sara

Yesturday, I was doing my English paper from 9:00 am till 12:00midnight (long report, not sure if it's good enough).. and found out today that my teacher couldn't open the file that I send, so I don't know if she is going to mark me off because of that .. I e-mailed her and explained to her that I have a new computer and I'm still trying to figure things out ..

sara

I have a huge mid-term on thursday, I have a resume paper due, and a huge informative speech to make.. I still don't have a topic

I still don't like the way my clothes fit me, and always craving for nuts!

JLB001

Man that does suck. I think my property manager has the same problem when she emails things to our corp. office.

positive thought.....Nuts are better than choc.

I'm also changing my meals plan, more carbs and less fat

hehe...when I go overboard with nuts, its usually the honey roasted cashews. Those are so yummy. Just try not to eat the whole can.

Looks like a good workouts.

"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on."

Jill

Do you think you migh be craving fat cause you are not getting enough in your diet?

nikegurl

hi sara.

workouts look good.

i know how important it is to find an eating plan that works for you AND that you can live with. (believe me....it has been a struggle for me lately).

but don't forget along the way to finding yours that it may be hard to determine what's "better" unless you stick with things for awhile. if you hate something and aren't seeing results i absolutely agree you should switch things up.

i just know for awhile i was wanting a really quick fix and when in doubt....i'd change eating plans. over and over without allowing my body to adjust.

just something to keep in mind b/c it can often seem like everything will fall into place as soon as we find "the perfect plan". we're all learning and we can't get to know ourselves without trying other things - but i also don't think we can reach good conclusions if we don't give the plans time before making changes.

sorry to ramble. just a thought.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Or not.

sara

you 100% correct
I will try to keep this plan for two weeks, see how it works for me

sara

Jill- I just started this plan today.. and I was craving for nuts when I was on high fat diet, or low fat diet... I need to think of nuts as "a negative food" , just like sugar and I think I will be fine

nikegurl

and i think you know this...but just in case i want to make sure you do know that i'm not trying to be a bossy know it all. trust me - i've started a zillion journals and a zillion eating plans in recent months so i'm more "guilty" of this mistake than anybody! if i started a new plan 2 days ago and then read something or heard something different i'd start to wonder right away....maybe THAT one is better. i still do it. i'm just trying to not do it so fast.

Tomorrow may be the best day of your life.

Or not.

sara

I had the same problem for last month.. but after having a plan in my hand, and knowing what plan I will be doing next I think I'm not going to switch not for 2 weeks at least
(you two days before me)

Jill

Sara, when you restrict yourself TOO much, that is a major cause of binging. Just a thought. be careful, the pattern seems to be developing again.

sara

my diet for 2 weeks is I'm limiting my fat to 22 grams per day and I can have up to 200 carbs a day... I'm trying to work on it, today is my first day.. I will weight myself tomorrow as a starting point for this plan
thanks sweetie

Jill

I count an egg white as 3.5P.
