Intense Desire........

[nikegurl]

i never remember it myself but i'm gonna try.

i've been "bitchin'" about how i look and my failure to stick to my eating plan for practically a year. if i had just taken the necessary steps each day instead of moaning and procrastinating etc i'd have made some major progress by now.

last night when i went back to the gym i was feeling weak and depressed by how weak i'd gotten. but i'm just gonna plow forward and try not to think about that. if i keep going and doing the workouts and eating as planned one day i'll be surpassing where i was when i started slacking...

[hardasnails1973]

Diet is looking alot better I would mainly stay with shakes pre and post workout, and may be one during the day time . Replace one of the shakes with may be a can of tuna fish or 3 oz chicken with some 1 TBSP safflower mayonaise or 1 tsp olive oil with some greens. and you'll be good to go !! get some variety in there. Ck out low carb wraps they rock with some chicken and some salsa be good to go

 

[nikegurl]

ahh.... safflower mayonaise. i use Hollywood brand and it is absolutely delicious. i don't think it's available everywhere but i'm able to get it at major chain grocery stores in California. really yummy.

Funny HAN mentioned this today, whenever my son has an out of town game, we do Subway and sure enough they had these wraps, only 6g. carbs. They advertise it as an Atkins meal

And it's very filling

They are good, do you know what kind of wrap to buy????? I think stir fry would be great in these, actually you could make all different kinds

Is that really enough calories? I know you're trying to lose weight, but that number seems excessively low.

Ummm, NO but it's alot better than 400 cals which is what I used to eat a day, I range from 1200 to 1400 now, probably should try and bump it up even more but it's taken me a 10 months just to get to where I am now, remember I was an undereater and stopped my metab for years, I'm just starting to develop an appetite again after f**king off this summer and not eating again, grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[atherjen]

if your hungers increasing hun, feed it.. I agree.. 1200 is pretty darn low. do you have any days in the week that you bump it up considerably to shock your body and get that metabolism revving again?

 

[katie64]

No, I stay pretty much the same, I'm actually reading alot of others journals to see what I can add, I think I need to double my protein shakes (16oz.) and add oatmeal instead of the banana, post w/o........it's been a little off again this week because of not feeling well, and my body is in shock still from finding out my w8

Plus I haven't been taken my fish oil caps, which lowered my fat content I don't feel like I have been very consistent lately, working on changing that

 

[Sapphire]

I think I want a day where I bump up my calories signficantly too!! YIPPEE!! FOOD!! Let's go out to dinner Katie!! ITALIAN!!!

I love Italian food, but pasta has sooooooo many carbs

I make the best Seafood Fettucini Alfredo, I would die for some right now


Although all those carbs could rev up our metab, maybe

make those small changes as you can. they'll pay off all together. the oats would be a much better choice after training. the banana(fructose) is going to replinish liver glycogen stores first rather than muscle. adding another scoop of protein like you said is easy and not too filling. and try to get in those fishoil caps! need to get some more healthy fats in there!
it takes time to get things right! your doing good!

 

[Hammerlynn]

Hi Katie! I hope you are feeling better today Thanks for peeking in on me! I've been out of sorts the last couple days but I'm better today!

I think the changes you mentioned will be a great boost for your nutrition. Try to add maybe some legumes too for quality carbs. Happy Saturday
