Confused Let's try this again...

Now that all that health-problem stuff is behind me, I'm going to give this exercise and healthy eating thing another try.

I can't lift weights yet and can't doing any cardio that's too taxing so I'm going to concentrate on my diet.

I'm thinking about trying that 8 week program in the latest MF Hers but I need to read it some more and pick my exercises.

I have two BUCKETS of cookie dough in the fridge.

If they get thrown away it will hurt the 7 year olds feelings because I bought them from him. You don't want him to cry do you, Princess?

I think I'll bake all that cookie dough and bring the cookies to the chili cook-off on Saturday. That way it won't be wasted and Tyler won't get his feelings hurt.

The oatmeal cookies are healthy because of the oatmeal and rasins.

Hi butterfly! Mind if I pop in here to ask a question...

WHERE IS THE PROTIEN??

How about some eggs or cottage cheese with breakfast?

Take a look at the sugar content for that Slim Fast shake, it's through the roof! I drink the 11 oz Myoplex, they are yummy and not nearly as much sugar.

You've got to take care of yourself sweetie...you know how important protien is...and to keep the sugar intake at a reasonable amount, too.

Oh CRAP!!! (Oops, am I allowed to say "crap" in your journal Butterfly?) I have to agree with Miss LeDix AGAIN? This is getting old!!! Anyway Butterfly, I have to ask the same question, where's your protein and the complex carbs? Without those your body is going to scavenge your muscle tissue for fuel. With the high sugar foods (rasins, OJ, Slimfast) you're eating your body isn't getting enough long lasting fuel and you're going to actually end up getting weaker instead of stronger.



Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

On the contrary, leaving her alone would be the mean thing to do. We're trying to offer good advice and support. Speaking of support, I can take care of that cookie problem for ya'.

I feel a bit tired but really good today!!! THANKS!

I managed to get to work by 10am... good thing too cause all our timesheets were due and there's noone here but me to tell the number counters what to do about them.

Is there a website that can explain complex carbs to me?

Hi butterfly. Hope you are doing well today. If you take a look in the Nutrition forum, w8 has several 'sticky' threads. I believe one of them addresses the carb issue. Also, there are several articles on the IM site itself.
