Hi AJ! It's so true about the sugar, I can't believe how much better I feel, not just physically, but mentally I feel much more sane and patient these days. So glad I finally did it. It's the only hope I have of getting abs even half as good as yours!

I am absolutely loving my eating plan these days. Everything tastes so good! I've been off sugar for 14 days now and I think that's the main reason why everything tastes better.

My journal is full of too much crap at the moment so i'll give you a low down
Trip in April is up to my brothers place (3 days driving), our kids haven't seen each other in about 3 years. Spending just over 2 weeks with them. Then back to Surfers Paradise (Brisbane) for a week to do the theme parks there, Wet and wild, Sea World and Warner Bro's Movie world. Fun! Fun! Fun! I'm gonna stop in and post what i been doing as much as possible (if i can find internet access up there)

My back feels pretty good, just tweeked it when finishing some deads, will do a leg workout this week starting easy to see how the back handles it.

So there, you know everything

 

[hikerchick]

Wow Riss, that sounds like a great time! YOu are going to have so much fun!

I hope your back is feeling better by now. I hate when things like that happen and get in the way of your workouts. I take it as a sign though, listen to your body, might need a bit of a change.

Wednesday

Feeling so great today! took my pup and little girl on a long power walk to the duck pond. We all had a great time.

School started yesterday. I have Physics two days a week for three hours each with a lab, and Anatomy and Physiology for a six hour day with a lab That's on Friday, only if they have room in the class for me. It's a long day, so if they don't, I won't be crying! Physics will be enough of a challenge on it's own. I've never had much of a brain for science, but I think it will be fun and interesting.

Wedesday

Meal 1
protein pancakes (whites, flax, whey)
2/3 cup fiber one
1/3 cup atkins milk

Meal 2
protein shake
2/3 cup brown rice
1 t. parmesan cheese
1/2 orange
1 slice pb whole grain toast

Meal 3
1 cup ground turkey breast
1/4 cup tomatoes
1/4 cup kidney beans




Exercise:
1 hour powerwalk
30 minutes pilates/stretching

No lifting today, I had a horrible sore throat all night, plus for some reason I feel like I have whiplash so I'm just doing some easy cardio today, outside to enjoy the nice weather!

 

[atherjen]

why do you think you have whiplash?

sounds like a great schedule really. I never did well in physics but LOVED the other 2 course, I took those last term! I think youll really enjoy them!

 

[Jodi]

HC are you all set with you new plan?

Hope you feel better soon.

I don't know if I slept funny or something. No car accident though, just feels like someone hit me with a truck. My shoulders and neck are so tight right now. Am going to phys. ther. tomorrow and she usually cures me so cross your fingers for me.

I think I'll love the anatomy class too. Unfortunately, this college doesn't use cadavers. I'd rather cut up humans than cats, I'm silly that way. Plus my job will be in the medical field so it makes more sense to learn on humans, but oh well. It's a three part series of anatomy and labs so lots to learn, I love it though so it's fun. I've taken two other anatomy classes when I was at UNH, more exercise/kinesiology related and really enjoyed them.

Yes, Jodi, thanks again!

I'm going to sit down with it this weekend and see how my food fits in. I just looked at it again, seems like it's more carbs then before, and less fat. I'm at 40 g carbs now. What is the reasoning for that? Don't get me wrong, I'll take all the carbs I can get - just wondering!

 

[Jodi]

Actually - look again. Before you had 4 meals with carbs, now its only 3 meal with carbs. If you calculate the carbs and fat you will notice that its less

 

[Rissole]

Your so worth it babe

Yikes! Time to check in with my journal

I am in such a good place right now. It feels amazing. I feel like I have gone through a transformation mentally. I have not had any binges, or desire to binge, in 3 weeks! This is huge for me. I'm so glad I decided to do the IM competition, because it forced me to confront my food demons. I have already won. I decided to only compete against myself, so how can I lose? I may not have the abs of a fitness model, but I am working on being the absolute best possible ME that I can be, and that was what I wanted. To feel physically and mentally strong and healthy, is the best feeling in the world. I hope that everyone reading this has it, or is on the way to getting it, because it is the best thing we can do for ourselves.

Not recording my food everyday helped me a lot. I really needed a break from that. I will probably go back to it again, but I have been focusing on other important things in my life and that is what I have needed. Putting all my energies into my family, myself and school really helped me to take the focus off obsessing about what I was putting in my mouth all the time. Although, don't get me wrong, I'm still working on those abs!

My focus for the remaining period of this contest is this:

Continue to Stick with my food plan from Jodi (thanks Jodi! )

Continue to work out hard in the gym with weights and at home with Pilates and hiking.

Continue to remain in a positive place, with lots of positive thoughts and readings.
