Starting my "lean" routine

[lina]

Well not quite a Bostonian, more a Suburbian but a Bostonian-wannabe. We like to hang out there on weekends. My brother and family do live in Boston. We seldom go to Harvard Square but last weekend I wanted to hang out there but there was a downpour ! So we nixed our plan and went to the Aquarium instead.....the kids liked that

 

[Julie7Ulie]

and the rain hasnt stopped since. I dont think it will until next Wednesday either

I love the aquarium. I might steal one of their penguins one of these days..

 

[Jodi]

I like the seals when you walk in.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

dont the seals hang out with the penguins? so cute..

 

[Jodi]

Last couple of times I was there they were on the left next to the ticket booth outside I love those things, they are so alert.

 

[JB_427]

You guys,
I dont mean to rain on your parade, but isnt there like, only ONE tank of sea creatures in there?

 

[Julie7Ulie]

actually, yea, there's just one main tank.

Im officially allergic to peaches. I attempted one yesterday and my lips and gums started itching and got swollen. I could handle being allergic to apples, but peaches??

I dont understand. I handled them fine last month.

 

[Jodi]

3 oz lean gturkey
3 whites
1 C. brown rice
1 C spinach

That would be a great stirfry and throw in some water chestnuts and mushrooms

I would try another peach. Its quite possible there was something on that peach. Did you wash them completely first?

 

[Julie7Ulie]

I did wash em pretty good.. I had this problem with apples. I though switching to organic would help, but I had the same problem. No clue Peaches are my absolute favorite.. I'll try another one tomorrow.

[Julie7Ulie]

This weekend Im heading to NY to visit mom.. I will try very very verrrrry hard to hit my numbers, but even if I dont, my food choices shouldnt be too bad.

Ever since Ive incorporated carbs back into my every day meals, it may make moms a little bit more manageable since she's a brown rice freak...

hopefully...

[Julie7Ulie]

oh my god, My hams are SORE from yesterday.. The only thing I did differently was stay off the smith maching and use a 30 pound free BB to do my squats instead.

Maybe that did it.. Thats odd. Especially when I used to lift 90 lbs on saftey squats. Weird..

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Was going to work out today. Went to the gym and everything. Was warming up on the treadmill and couldnt move my legs. I was like, wow, this is not happening today.

Since Im cross-training anyway I thought Id skip today. I dont need to work the same body parts two days in a row. took a shower and im back at work.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Ok i have a bit of a problem.

Im driving to NY tomorrow. Tomorrow is my refeed day. Even if it wasnt, How do I pack up my food for the road if all the food I need to eat needs to be heated up? Any advice?

 

[Jodi]

Eat cold brown rice and cold sweet potatoes

Have fun this weekend. I still think next week we should meet up in the Tewksbury Gold's and workout together. What do you think? :bounce:

 

[Julie7Ulie]

ewww... maybe I'll OD on Fiber one..

I need to steal a free pass to w/o at Tewksbury. I'll let you know when I do.

 

[Jodi]

Fiber one or All Bran, nothing wrong with that. Just stay close to the toilet on Saturday.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

i tried my peach today. it didnt work out well.

So not enough carbs for meal #4.

oh and I had 1 - just 1, I swear SF choco covered almond earlier today.

This weekend was interesting. Im broke and out of food, so I ate what I could at mom's and the party as well as I could. Not too bad. More of Brown rice and chicken at moms, and salads and finger foods at the party.

Either way, I didnt binge - but wasnt exactly proper. Today isnt going to be any better, and I have a cold too, so I'll probably eating soup all day. No w/o again. (Ive had a rough couple of weeks)

Anyway, Food shopping tonight, and back on track tomorrow. Hopefully the sinuses will have relaxed by then too.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

My boyfriend just informed me he already bought the goods and is cooking for us as we speak.

Most definetely back on track tomorrow. No longer broke..

 

[Jodi]

Good! You gonna refeed this weekend?

 

[Julie7Ulie]

yes.. i think im gonna refeed Saturday since i started a day late.

 

[JB_427]

Jules, check your PM's.

 

[Julie7Ulie]

Here is something I just learned. Peaches, Apples, etc.. The reason why I am allergic to these is because I am allergic to birch tree pollen.

All of them contain a form of histamine. Soooo, Im guessing that if I really wanted my fruit I can take an anti-histamin, like allegra, and chow down.

Interesting, isnt it? We'll see. So far, these fruits only affect my exterior, like gums and throat, but never do any damage to my internal digestive system.

Theres my tid-bit of knowledge for the day.
