Breaking Bad Habits...

Jill · 03-11-2004, 09:39 PM

Oh well-you really never ate any fat today, Its probably not a biggie!

**calalily1972** · 03-11-2004, 10:48 PM

Oats are only 60 on the GI. Even though oats are a medium gi, the fiber slows down the digestion which is one of the reasons why its called a slow burning carb. Same goes for brown rice and sweet potatos.

jstar · 03-12-2004, 08:45 AM

Yeah my fats for the day were 30-40 anyways (I'm not counting macros for now) so no big deal.

TY Jodi - that is what I thought. Gee, I almost had a heart attack of the oats being high GI...I love my oats!

Jill · 03-12-2004, 11:02 AM

Have a super day sunshine!!!

jstar · 03-12-2004, 12:42 PM

aww you too Jill! Did you get my PM?

Stacey · 03-12-2004, 02:14 PM

Hey girl how are you today???

TGIF!!!!!

jstar · 03-12-2004, 02:17 PM

How are you Stacey?

You said it TGIF! 1 more hr til I go home, I can't wait. It's freaking snowing outside

Stacey · 03-12-2004, 02:31 PM

SNOWING!!! OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS!! Where are you at???? Uggg Its hot here!!!!!! But I WISH it was in the 60s!! I hate having to wear shorts. I like jeans!!

I'm good thanks!!! your SO right--TGIF.

I think I'm going to the vitamin shoppe tonight to check out a book. Ya know you can rent books from them, just like a library!! NEATO!

jstar · 03-12-2004, 03:02 PM

I'm in Taxachusetts

I think it was just a flurry ( I hope). People drive like morons in the snow and I am leaving in 30 minutes! Wow, I wish I was wearing shorts

I never knew that about the VS. How much is it to rent? I hope the one near me does that! I know they sell them. Let me know if you find a good read

Stacey · 03-12-2004, 04:24 PM

HEY! You at home now??? Where is Taxachusetts??? What state?
(I'm soooo dumb...hehe)

I don't think it costs--I'm going there tonight--so I will get on here later at my moms and let you know.

aggies1ut · 03-12-2004, 05:41 PM

Massachusetts....

jstar · 03-12-2004, 05:45 PM

Your no dummy silly!!! Hehe I live in Massachusetts. That is what we call it here. And the drivers here are known as Mass-holes

That is so cool if you can rent books there. The is a VS right up the street from me. That would be cool if you could rent fitness magazines too. I WISH!!!

Mmmmm it took me 1.5 hrs to get home today! I was STARVINGGGG and had nothing in my car so when I got home I had a HUGE bowl of Fiber One with lotsa blueberries and a cup of eggwhites

I have one more meal left for today. I think I will get a salad with chicken from Stop and Shop.

jstar · 03-13-2004, 01:08 PM

Funny, I had the same dream at least twice this week: that I was in Florida. Last night I dreamt I drove down with my mom and went to Miami and then to the Gulf Coast. Nevermind I have never been there before (or anywhere for that matter). No wonder I didn't want to wake up!!!

It was so real too!

(normal portions today

)

jstar · 03-14-2004, 04:58 PM

DAY 5

I am starting to realize that for some reason Sundays are always the day I mess up and binge. Well I did mess up today but I am still going to keep the calories at 1600-1700 total!

My mom bought Stacy's pita chips and I thought I could "try" one.

I ended up coming back and eating 1/2 the bag!

I didn't do my cardio in the AM today

but I wish I did.

Meals:

M1: 2 TBL PB, 6 slices ww bread

M2: Stacy's pita chips, 1 ww bread, turkey

M3:

more pita chips

total cals so far 1300, rest of the day I am eating PROTEIN and VEGGIES!!!!

M4 turkey, peppers/zucchini/eggplant
1.5 oz cheddar

M5 choc eggies

total: 1750

Workout:
3 sets of 15 for:
crunches
reverse crunches
hyperextensions
cable squats: 80,90,100,110

treadmill @ 15 incline 3.0-3.6 mph. sweating buckets

Stacey · 03-14-2004, 04:59 PM

Thats sooo crazy about your dreams girl!!!

I still haven't gone to the vitamin shoppe--and Now I have time, but they close soon.

Hope your doing good!

jstar · 03-14-2004, 05:03 PM

The next 2 days are active rest days. I plan to eat less carbs than the previous days throwing in a few protein/veggie only meals.

jstar · 03-14-2004, 05:06 PM

Hey Stacey

I know, my dreams must be telling me something. I had another weird one last night where I was in Redondo at Nationals. First FL, now CA...I must be suffering from summer-withdrawals. Grrr and it's suppose to snow again this week.

Stacey · 03-14-2004, 05:07 PM

WoW Girl thats nuts!!!

Yep, you need some sunshine!!!

Jill · 03-14-2004, 06:14 PM

Dont worry about the binges-I ate a tonne of chocolate this weekend-along with some popcorn and trail mix. I suck. Oh well. Im deff getting back on track tomorrow-today is already a write off.

aggies1ut · 03-14-2004, 10:09 PM

Is this book saying to eat a lot of bread, or do you just like it?

jstar · 03-15-2004, 07:59 AM

It says I can have ww bread but I should probably cut down some, huh?

jstar · 03-15-2004, 08:22 AM

DAY 6

My car is in the shop right now because I had a recall on it. Apparently they need to do a couple things to it to prevent my car from stalling out while in drive

I hope I get my car back soon because I have an interview at 2 today

I feel good about this place. I will let ya'll know how it goes

Today is an active rest day. I'm just going to run some errands and study for the ACE test.

Meals:

M1 - Fiber One, egg whites, blueberries, 2 slices ww sf bread

*I am now going to make an effort to eat less bread-this will be tough cuz I love it*...EDIT <-----starting tomorrow!

M2 - turkey on 2 ww, apple

M3 - oats, protein powder then *gasp* 15 slices of sugar free ww bread.

cals at about 1900...I really want them to average out to about 1600.

Changes:
1-Tomorrow I am doing no carbs
2-NO MORE BREAD AT ALL!!!
3-I am going to actually count calories and macros instead of guesstimating. The goal is 40/40/20 or 50/30/20.
4-If I screw this up I will do one no carb day a week from this point on.

I just went food shopping and bought some more stuff and I skipped the bread isle

geesh I am a carboholic. I need to go to CA

Stacey · 03-15-2004, 08:42 AM

Hey girlie~! Good Luck on your job interview!!!!! Hope you get your car back soon! When are you taking the ACE test?? Study Hard!! My sister took it 2 weeks ago, for the second time--she said it was Very Hard. But she passed it!!! (and she is an A PLUS student--the kind who doesn't study for anything--but she studied her bootie off for it. Just a warning

I may take it this summer!!!)

Have a good day & Good LUCK!!

jstar · 03-15-2004, 11:34 AM

Hiya Stace!

Wow I didn't think it was gonna be THAT hard. I know it's 150 mult. choice and some questions can be hard but I dunno now. I am scared.

I am taking it May 1st but I haven't signed up yet so maybe I can take it later. It is just that I borrowed the books from a friend and I have had them since last fall! I am such a procrastinator!!!!

Got my car back and I am heading off to my interview.

Have a great day Stacey

JLB001 · 03-15-2004, 12:10 PM

Good Luck J with the interview!

atherjen · 03-15-2004, 12:25 PM
