Greeky gets serious!!!

[greekblondechic]

AWWWWWWW

i didnt update this for a few days and i was missed how frickin adorable XOXOXOXOXO

love u guys!

Yeah, ive been so religious bout updating this im surprised at myself, i think this weather has been dragging me down, i need sunshine!

ok let's see what i can manage to remember

Friday

no workout, decent meals.. except one was just 1/2 oz peanuts
still figuring out my school schedule w meals

Saturday

no workout, i was supposed to *cheat* today
i guess my cheat was the salad at chilis which had
MANDARINS and PINEAPPLE on it mmmm and tortilla strips and honey lime dressing
I also ended up eating a ton of peanuts cuz i was voraciously hungry and picking at the phyllo on cheese puffs (my bad for missing a meal)

Sunday

50mins cardio damn I dont remember what I ate LOL
but ive discovered I do indeed like cottage cheese whipped!
im pretty sure i ate clean/decent

Monday

no workout, bad heartburn since yesterday

1/2c oats 6 whites

tuna, salad 1 tsp olive oil

3/4c cottage cheese 1 heaping tsp pb

diet hot choc
lamb, spinach and squash (very fatty so i didnt add any fat)
is squash ok?

3/4c cc 1 tsp pb

i figured 3/4c about right bc 1/2c only 16g protein..is that a good serving size?

I have been reading your journal and it looks as things are going very well keep up the good work
I must also add that your are very beautiful and dedicated, keep up the good work and I hope it warms up for you. The weather in Cali is wonderful I am actually trying to get to the cold weather this weekend.

What we all strive for is to be the best we can be.Genetics plays a large role in this.Just because magazines portray emaciated females as beautifull dose not mean it's true.Diets are just fads real gains are made by lifestyle changes.Keep up cardio,no potatoe salad with salad,and watch the baklava.Just the opionion of Italian male.Plus olive oil is good for you.

hey hun, glad to see that your back with us. gosh darn dont stay away so long next time without warning!

ahhhh its good to see that you discovered how awesome cottage cheese is!! I LOVE it. so much that you can do with it. and yes 3/4c is better then 1/2c for a protein serving.

lamb? yes your right that is real fatty peice of meat.. the squash is good though, I love it. was it plain or how did they cook it. I know some ppl cook it with brown sugar or maple syrup or butter. so beware. but plain is fine!

Hope you have a great day today hun and that everything goes as planned for you!

1/2c cottage cheese 1 tsp pb
damn i love this stuff *DROOL*

 

[dj_diablo54]

How cold is it over there on the East Coast. I am going on travel next week to Pax River. I have never been and I am nervous about the weather, I will be able to hit the gym since I am staying on the military base there so I can at least work out if I don't freeze to death.

 

[greekblondechic]

very cold!!!!! bring warm clothes and gloves and a hat and scarf and u get the idea

yesterday i forgot: 4 grapes, and a few tbsp sugar free preserves.. just too damn good i wanna eat the whole jar!

 

[atherjen]

are you still getting a storm Greeky??
its FINALLY warmed up a bit here. no more crazy -30F weather!! ekkk

ohh dear, I dont think I dare try that sugar free preserves! sounds too addicting. pb is bad enough for me!

 

[greekblondechic]

LOL

i have been known to finish the jar in one night!

what confuses me is 1 tbsp = 10cals but 5 carbs?

 

[atherjen]

ahh they deducted the cals from the sugar alcohols Im assuming?

 

[greekblondechic]

i didnt see sugar alcohols on the ingredient list..

 

[JLB001]

Greek..try and stay warm up there! It's nice and sunny down here, but a lil cold.

1/2 c oats 6 whites

protein bar (1/2 then the rest 1 hr later)

4oz deli turkey salad handful peanuts

1/2c cottage cheese, salad, some peanuts, squash (plain-boiled)

pork salad, no added fat just fat in pork and the oil i didnt blot off

1/2c cottage cheese 1 tsp pb
damn i love this stuff *DROOL*

I'm just curious as to why you eat such little protein.

 

[greekblondechic]

JLB tryin to stay warm but im one of those people who is always cold so its tough!

Jen! ugh u making me type it out as the website lists nothing..and unfortunately i brought a spoon

Jodi, hello! welcome to my journal
hardasnails tells me to eat towards my LBM instead of bodyweight

Today

1/2c oats 6 whites

broiled salmon in oil, a little pork, salad

25mins cardio (nausea made me cut it short )

1c cottage cheese 1 heaping tsp pb

salmon, salad, handful peanuts

3/4c cottage cheese 1 tsp pb
sf preserves

Polaner Sugar Free Apricot Preserves
1 TBSP

10cal fat=0 sodium=0 carbs=5g protein=0

Ingredients:
Water, apricots, polydextrose, maltodextrin, fruit pectin, locust bean gum, citric acid, natural flavor, sucralose, potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, calcium chloride, yellow 5 and yellow 6

this stuff is too damn good, i cant buy it or else i eat a lot of it! but i dont know how much i really need to worry about it..

This, and the inconsistency on the box of sf jello
10 cal/serving, but 0 carbs 0 fat 1 g protein

makes me wonder if companies take the final product and figure the calories, or just add up the ingredients, which would make for some sneaky sneaky when including stuff like splenda... who knows! The sum is greater than the parts damnit! Synergy, haha i used an SAT word..

 

[Burner02]

hey! Is it STILL snowing there?? man, it stopped and is melted already here...

Hiya, BGC!

 

[atherjen]

"sucralose, potassium sorbate" <---theres the artificial sweetners
hmmm try and take it easy on that sugar free stuff hun..the ingredient list is not all that appealing!

 

[greekblondechic]

the snow stopped for now, but the wind is spreading it all over again! ugh!

Today

45mins cardio

1/2c oats 1.5 scoop protein

low carb protein bar

protein crunch thingies.. (saw them at 7-11...was starving..) lol

salmon, salad, handful nuts

1c cottage cheese 1 big tsp pb Damn i love this!
cocoa and splenda w a spoon

 

[greekblondechic]

oh wanted to note, i still think i may have a thyroid problem

trying to read about it on avant, but its so confusing

 

[atherjen]

hun what makes you think that you have a thyroid prob?! I hope not!

"protein crunch thingies: what are those? lol

 

[Jill]

Are the protein crunchie things by PVL? I bough some the other day, (from GNC) real yummy like cheezies! I got ranch and bbq. The bag has 21P, and very low carbs. Not sure exactly, they're hidden in my highest kitchen cuboard!

 

[greekblondechic]

jen, i will post symptoms later when i have a bit more time

the crunchies are by avera sport - controlled carb protein crunch chocolate flavor 1 pack
160 cal 10g fat
carbs = 8 (3 fiber, 1 sugar, 3 sug alcohols)
17 g protein

stats r ok.. kinda low on protein and high in fat (9 out of 10g is saturated fat!) BUT DAMN ARE THEY GOOD

taste like candy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wish i knew a way to make these at home!!!

That is too funny about the wind and snow blowing! Hey, that protein crunchy stuff from 7-11...... hmmmnnnn... Oh well, it's probably better than a Big Bite!

BTW, GBC

 

[JLB001]

Are those protein chunkie things good??

 

[hardasnails1973]

dear
Don't play doctor like I did luckily I was close the solution but trying to treat things your self can only make matters worse. We do not have the tools or testing ability to come to any sound conclusion. WE can only assume things.. when it comes to my body I will not screw around !!

 

[greekblondechic]

ugh i typed and it disappeared so here we go again

doc said thyroids normal but im doubting it

today

50min cardio

1/2 c oats 1 scoop protein

subway roasted chicken breast salad w oil and vinegar

1c cc 1 tsp pb

can of chicken salad handful peanuts
handful popcorn

1c cc 1 tsp pb

2 slices deli turkey a few peanuts

i feel like total shit and its depressing
my mom thought i had a fever but my temp was 96.5
no amount of caffiene will wake me up either

 

[atherjen]

ahh hun get lots of rest sweetie!!

hmmm try doing this for a few days.. as soon as you wake up in the morning take your temperature... that will give you an idea if somethings up or not.
are you normally always feeling tired/drained?

 

[Jill]

Hope you feel better soon. Aside from that your diet is looking real good! Im starting to crave nat pb too, I noticed you have been eating it lately!!!!

 

[greekblondechic]

yes i am almost always tired or drained

i used to blame it on allergies or lack of sleep, now i dont know

thanks jill and jen, im trying to not let it get me down, but i cant help it cuz i feel like theres something wrong with me and im not sure what it is
