Dear Star ... sadly I'm in the computer industry and yes, I am on call. It sucks! There is no amount of money worth having people wake you up out of a nice peaceful sleep to answer silly questions.

just kick'in it in the ole Charger

atherjen

good luck with it hun!

My dad ate most of the brownies and I am going out now so by the time I get back the rest will probably be gone!!! I would go to Target but it's a hike to get there for me!

NT - I have MUCH respect for you then - I used to work for a computer company that ran a bunch of call centers with techies who answered all kinds of questions and took call after call. Unfortunately the co. I used to work for treated these ees really badly and they worked so hard! I hated that about my former company.

Jen - TY - It takes the guesswork out of things plus I like what I am eating, it's balance and clean - it should do the trick

Jill

Tell me about the protein powder that tastes like puddin darling!

greekblondechic

jk.. i didnt know what else to say

jstar

@ Greeky...welcome back. How was Miami?

Jill - It's Ultra Size by Beverly International. I order it from www.vitaglo.com. I think the vanilla tastes like cake mix . It's awesome in protein pancakes and to me it's like a treat.

What kind of rice cakes do you like jstar?

jstar

Jill - I normally get plain unsalted (yeah I know boring) rice cakes---this time I bought white cheddar--the only thing bad is the sodium (80 mg per rice cake). I always read the label and get ones that are sugar free!!!

JLB001

<perk> Brownies????? mmmmm, with walnuts and choc chips????

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

Jill

Arent all rice cakes sf???? I used to always eat the crispy minis in cheddar cheese flavor, they WERE my fav. I quit buying them 6 or so months ago, after I read an article that eating rice cakes is like eating a bowl full of sugar-how it affects your blood sugar / insulin.

Paynne

One GI list I checked said rice cakes are GI 81. Which for me means PWO only!

jstar

She put choc chips in them!!! But I was a good girl

greekblondechic

Mmmm brownies!

Miami was beautiful, I love sun and palm trees!

jstar

You will have to check the label but NO they are not all sugarfree esp the flavored ones.

jstar

Really?? I never knew that! I was just trying to find a GI list on the net but had no luck (only short lists) I also know that insulin idex is more important than the GI but I don't know what that is for rice cakes. What site were you on?

I know that last year the person who helped me out with my precontest diet said I could have plain unsalted rice cakes or the multigrain one with PB as a snack~
I will try to limit them but I am not going to eliminate them just yet

Thanks for the info Paynne!

I was on that site but didn't think to try a search--

"rice cakes in moderation"

Workouts have been GREAT this week! I feel so pumped all the time--must be from all the carbs I am eating. My chest was really sore for a couple days after doing my chest workout. On back day I was a little disappointed that I couldn't lift as much on the HS Row as I did before but again I was a bit sore so maybe I should alternate week to week:

This week:
Wed = Chest/Biceps
Thur = Back/Abs

Next week:
Wed = Back/Abs
Thurs = Chest/Biceps

The shoulder workout was good too. I can lift way more on the HS Press than the old machine. Great for my ego

I didn't mean to go ultra low fat the first 2 days--it just happened(?)

Jill

Cool, looks good. You protein only has 16 grams per scoop? That seems low-or they must be small scoops! Oh 60 min of cardio at once, beeeeeee careful, thats quite a bit at a time! But who am I to talk, Ive been doing 40-45 mins 4-5X a week!

jstar

The protein powder has 17g per scoop. I am still getting in 150-200g protein a day so it's ok....yeah I am taking today as a rest day (I was going to do legs but I will do em tomorrow instead!). I really don't see anything wrong with more frequent cardio for short periods of time. I was planning to do a lot more cardio for the next few weeks until I go to that show and see my girls compete. I have some jeans I am dying to wear but my big ole can't get in em right now!

Jill

I can relate!

Rest day.

I was sooooo tired all day. I felt like a complete zombie. My diet was way off, I had too many carbs and not the good kind either. Mostly it was bread though instead of cookies, chocolate and ice cream. Well, ok I did have a Carb Sense ice cream bar and it was good. I don't feel guitly or bad about myself today I feel refreshed actually and I am going to just pick up right where I left off. This is a process and I don't have to be perfect. I just have to never give up. I weighed and measured today and I am down 3 lbs (probably water) and my calves grew .25 inches yay!!! My other measurements were slightly less.

Yesterday I went to an open house for this condo up the street from me. I liked the set-up of the condo; the only thing wrong was that it was too close to the main street and therefore too noisy. If it had been in the next building over I would have considered it but it would probably still be noisy - especially in the summer time with the windows open!

morning Miss Star.

just kick'in it in the ole Charger

Jill

I bought sf fudgsicles!!! They only have like 49 cals, 12 carbs, no fat or sugar-sweetned with aspertame! They are so rich and yummy!

jstar

Hi NT Did you have a nice weekend?

Hi Jill What brand were those? No sugar? That sounds pretty good.
I just checked the one I had. I made a mistake on the name: they are made by Carb Smart; not Carb Sense. Here is the breakdown:

Calories:100
Carbs: 9
Protein: 2
Fat: 7
sugar: 3
sugar alcohol: 5

not that great, eh?
