Working on "ME"

Jill · 06-23-2004, 12:05 PM

Thanks everyone, soooooooooo much. I really appreciate all the support. Its really weird, once you start seeing results the desire to eat crappy starts to diminish. You just dont wanna mess up the hard work.

I'll deff send some sunshine your way Greeky.

Nighty night all, I just fell asleep for 1/2 and hour on the couch!

Congrats Jill

I'm happy you are doing well.

I believe the point of Jodie suggesting a cheat meal is so your body doesn't adapt to the diet and so progress doesn't slow down. Similar to same reasons of high carb day in carb cycling. It will replenish glycogen to keep your body going during workouts and your body won't enter starvation mode.

Jill · 06-23-2004, 01:10 PM

Thanks for visiting Jodi.

I guess I finally found something that works for me. And its pretty easy to follow. That the most important thing. Any tips on having a planned cheat?? Things to avoid etc.... Thanks

**Jodi** · 06-23-2004, 01:12 PM

I always visit, I just don't always comment.

Personally, I'd do lots of carbs like mashed potatos and corn, bread (hold the butter) and steak. Then have a small dessert.

JLB001 · 06-23-2004, 06:13 PM

Jillie...Jodi said exactly what I meant. I've been brain dead for a few days. Finally have tomorrow off to regroup and adjust back to normal. Have been working the past 10 days in a row. Jodi's saying mashed P's and stuff sounds yummy too! Don't be scared that a cheat meal will slow things down, it only helps. Mini refeeds instead of a whole day.

Jill · 06-23-2004, 06:40 PM

Thanks Jodie's!!! You 2 gals are the greatest!

Im actually scared to cheat!

Weird, Jill not wanting to cheat!!! I actually passed on the cupcakes today, everyone here was eating em cause it is a co-workers b-day. As they ate cupcakes, I ate cauliflower and cukes!

Hmmmm, maybe I'll have a cupcake Sat for a cheat! Maybe.....

JLB001 · 06-23-2004, 06:46 PM

Or two!

Jill · 06-23-2004, 06:52 PM

God now I want sugar, gotta find my gum! Im now addicted to tridents 'very berry' gum, its yummy!

I knew someone would ask! Take a scoop of protein (chocolate), add a bit of coco, and some splenda, and mix it all together with water, so its like brownie batter. Cook in the microwave for around 30 seconds (its cooks real quick). It tastes just like a brownie!! BUT, pure protein!!!!! I like it when its a little raw in the middle, thats how I make my p pancakes.

Stacey · 06-23-2004, 11:24 PM

oh My!! I have to try these tomorrow!!!!!!!!

YUM!!! Or maybe now? Hmmm? lol

How much splenda?

Jenny · 06-24-2004, 03:31 AM

Yummy!! I am trying THAT too! I am craving chocolate today!!

Jill · 06-24-2004, 08:42 AM

If you girls try the protein brownie, just be sure not to overcook it-it cooks very fast!

I am going to try that too! You are doing awesome baby girl, but be careful. With those low calories you need to cheat I'd say probly once a week? What does everyone else think?

naturaltan · 06-24-2004, 09:21 AM

I think it's working for her, so she should continue doing what works for her.

greekblondechic · 06-24-2004, 09:27 AM

The point is that it works, but you don't want your body to adapt to it, or your metabolism to slow, and the cheats are to make it KEEP working. I dunno

naturaltan · 06-24-2004, 09:34 AM

I don't know much either (in fact, you probably know more than I about dieting) ... but since her vacation, she's losing weight and seems happy about it. If a time comes when she stops losing weight, she can at that point do something different. As both Jodies have said, their advice is given as guidelines based on their experience and have both noted that it may not work for everyone. I compare Jill's plan to how Bruce Lee approached his martial arts. He took from everything and created something that worked for him. Jill has done the same thing. She's questioned many people about their plans and has come up with something that works for her.

greekblondechic · 06-24-2004, 09:50 AM

I know, isn't it awesome!

Jill · 06-24-2004, 10:59 AM

Im really happy Nt and Greeky, what Im doing is working for me. I dont feel deprived at all. I dont want to cheat though-I MAY have a small treat Sat, Ill see then. Ive never experienced my weight actully go down, consistently, i just dont want to mess things up.

I enjoy counting cals and measuring foods, it has just became a part of me. I think anything is possible, as long as you set your mind to it, AND STICK WITH IT. Consistency is something I lacked before.

shortstuff · 06-24-2004, 11:59 AM

Jill!!!! Youa are doing freaking awesome!! I just finally got up and I love your journal, I really want my mom to read Dr. Phil's book. I think it would hepl her a ton!!!

Me too! Your doing super awesome girlie- keep it up

Jenny · 06-24-2004, 12:52 PM

NT is right on the money, don't feel like you "have to" cheat. If fatloss stalls, then do something about it then, nothing to worry about right now
