nikegurl's TP.PT experience

[nikegurl]

the mayo only has 3 grams of fat....oh ok. guess it's time to switch to vinegar.

fair trade. thanks!

 

[nikegurl]

thanks CourtQueen! I'm really liking carb cycling too. are you sure you can't have pb?

 

[Jodi]

LOL - I'd take PB anyday over Mayo

Other things to do would be to rinse your ground beef. Have all egg whites instead of the yolk (especially in that meal). How much fat in that dressing?

 

[nikegurl]

1 gram of fat in the dressing.

As for the ground sirloin...it's 93% lean (can't find leaner lately) so I call it 8 grams fat in 4 oz but a lot drains off when I cook it and I do rinse it after so I bet I'm getting a little less than 8 grams there.

I'll happily drop that egg yolk and the mayo to keep my pb.

by the way....i'm really looking forward to next week's training but scared to look farther ahead than that.

[PreMier]

I think you did a great job on rows. I have a hard time with them too... Have a great day!

 

[nikegurl]

[PreMier]

I'd say that's a good sign

 

[nikegurl]

Sat and Sun were no carb days....barely made it through Sunday (temptation was everywhere!) but I did. Phew. High carbs today. I think low carb days are actually my favorites.

 

[CourtQueen]

Low Carb days feel like too much temptation to me.....
I think No days are my fav

Do you find it harder on the weekends to follow your meal plans then during the week?

 

[Jodi]

Your both cracked. I LOVE High days

 

[nikegurl]

weekends are WAY WAY harder for me just b/c my day isn't as structured and routine.

i actually find high carb days the most tempting. i have these evil voice in my head trying to convince me that if i'm allowed as much brown rice as i want...then surely i can have french fries.

i promise i won't! but i'm tempted to try to rationalize food cheats on high carb day (not no or low)

 

[Jodi]

That's why I keep healthy yummies around. FF SF Oatmeal cookies. Buckwheat pancake mix. SF PB Oatmeal muffins, whole grain pita's, fiber one cereal and LC milk and stuff like that. I'm eating some of those cookies right now

 

[nikegurl]

....hmmmmm and could someone lacking discipline (let's pretend that someone is ME ) indulge in such treats on high carb days?

 

[Jodi]

Yes you can and all you want too

Well, except the muffins but you could always make it without PB so you don't get too much fat.

 

[nikegurl]

i'm off to the recipe section....high carb days are gonna change.

thanks, jodi!

 

[greekblondechic]

I liked low carb days best myself

 

[Jodi]

I made a new kind last night. They are good but I'm not going to post it because most people wouldn't care for them all that much. Personally, they are good for me.

8 Splenda packets
1/2 C. Buckwheat Flour
1/2 C. Stoneground WW Flour
1 C. Oats
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 C. Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
4 Egg Whites

Mix and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 8 mins at 350 degrees.

 

[nikegurl]

thanks jodi! and you really eat as many as you want on high carb days?

i bet you get asked this all the time - but is it easy enough to find the buckwheat flour? i've never looked but wondering if it's likely to be hard to find. i've seen ww flour before of course (hopefully it's stone ground? )

thanks again!

 

[Jodi]

Any natural health food store has it. I get the buckwheat flour and the stoneground ww flour at any of them.

Yes you can eat as many of these as you want on High Carb Day. They are about 8G carbs per cookie and zero fat (other than the fat in the oats which really doesn't count). I don't eat my fruit when I eat these though because of the applesauce is just like eating an apple (well close enough anyway).

 

[nikegurl]

so now the trick will be baking them on Sundays but not eating them until Mondays.

 

[Jodi]

Yeah, that was not easy last night. Hence the T. of natty pb yesterday

 

[tucker01]

MMMMmmmm Cookies!

Let me know how they are NG, not that I don't trust your opinion Jodi, just curious about everyone else

 

[Jodi]

I didn't say they were wonderful. They are decent. They curb my sweet cravings ALOT!

 

[nikegurl]

i had a good workout last night...and i was surprised. i was so tired that i was yawning the whole drive to the gym (not a good sign)
