atherjen · 04-08-2004, 01:55 PM

GOOD!!! whos helping you??? a trainer??
you need balance. this restirct-binge has to stop!

Cate · 04-08-2004, 02:10 PM

Good for you Sara!!! This is really hard to do, I am stuggling with the restrict-binge thing myself and Im determined to stop NOW.

I can't wait to see the new meals

sara · 04-08-2004, 06:31 PM

Yes! I can't wait..

Jen- I'm going to meet up with a personal trainer on Saturday, he is going to measure me, and find my LBM and tell me how much calories I need to take in and balance my meals..

atherjen · 04-08-2004, 06:57 PM

well I truly hope that with the help of someone in person it will help you to stick to something more balanced girl! you NEED that!! tell him exactly your goals, and that you havent tendency's to binge-your not looking for a basic boring diet-need something balanced and satisfying!

sara · 04-08-2004, 07:05 PM

My diets were boring, because I used to freak out on everything I eat.. No milk.. (not natural, full of sugar) No Whole wheat bread, No Protein Bars, No Beef Jerky (Dried Salmon) .. I hope this new diet, I want to call it lifestyle, would be easier than what I'm doing now

atherjen · 04-08-2004, 07:07 PM

thats what I have been trying to help you with Sara- more balanced diet from day to day. no stressing and staying healthy

i just hope that your able to somehow stick with the Trainers diet! good luck!

Let us know what the trainer says....you can do this.

BTW-where do you get salmon jerkey????

Cate · 04-08-2004, 07:30 PM

Also, having body fat measured is wonderful. I always thought I was sooooo fat, but my trainer measured me and I was 18.2%

The point is, scale weight is crap...I live by it also, but the truth is you could gain or lose day to day based on water. So, bf% is a true measure of where you are and where you have to go. I don't have as far as I thought...and I'm not starving myself anymore

Keep strong....keep up with this journal and you can do this!

PreMier · 04-08-2004, 07:30 PM

Yes, salmon jerky

Hi Sara

sara · 04-08-2004, 07:31 PM

I will fill you guys with all the details.. especially with my waist size that I'm complaining about and no one believing that I do have a high body fat.. I will post my high body fat % too!

Salmon jerkey, first time trying it today from Trader Joe's

Good Job Cate!

I know the scale is carppy

I don't even bother weight myself anymore.. I like the weight but I don't like myself in the mirror anymore.. I look fat, wide

Keep strong....keep up with this journal and you can do this!
I will do the best I can!

Hi Sara

How are you today?

Cate · 04-08-2004, 07:42 PM

I hear ya....people yell at me about dieting and training so hard and say how thin I am. But alone in my underwear, I see all the flaws.

I'm convinced a good diet and workouts will do it. I have the workouts down.....now goes the diet! Thank goodness for this place and the journals

I agree with you totally Sara, I think its about the whole pic, cals in a week / day. A year ago I would always have milk, fruit, yogurt, and occasional bread, and weighed a lot less. (probably 20 ponds less) I am glad to have those foods back in my diet and am not stressin' now.
