Working on "ME"

[Jill]

Thanks peeps!!! I do feel great! ***Note to self. Stick with this plan cause it works!***
Greeky, my cals dont even feel that low, cause Im eating so many veggies and lettuce. I really dont WANT any other carbs except for oats-Im also trying to not eat any carbs (except veggies) after 3pm. Im also addicted to salsa, I eat it on almost everything! (except protein pancakes ) If I feel like a sweet treat I eat sf jello or sf popsicles.

Jodie, hopefully in a few weeks / months Ill post some pics. I have some REAL fat ones from Jan. Hopefully i can achieve somewhat of a transformation like you!

Jillie...If there is a will, there is always a way! I think you can transform quicker than you may think. You may want to throw a few days in there where the calories are higher, like maybe a lil pasta or so once a week. That way if you do change eatting habits again, you won't add a bunch of weight back on.

Where did this plan come from sweetums? What is it? I'm having trouble identifying it. Anyway, I keep thinking.. go low carb go low carb, but I don't want to rebound again like Jodie mentionned. It was the damn rebound weight that killed me, I'd be ok if I was back at my old 148.

Meal 1: 1/4C oats, 1T cottage cheese, 2 ew's, 1 scoop protein
Meal 2: 1/3C oats, 1T cottage cheese, 2ew's, 1 scoop protein, 100g's strawberries
Meal 3: 4oz chix, veggies, 1C special K, salsa, 2T ff sc, 1 sf popsicle
Meal 4: 5?oz steak, 12-14 broiled shrimpies, veggies, 1-2C watermelon <----ate a bit too much protein at this one, its better than the garlic bread, cabbage rolls, bbqed potatoes, fudgsicles and pie I passed on!
Meal 5: 4oz chix, veggies, sf jello, sf popsicle

1518 cals
190P , 110C, 31F

TRAINING:
CARDIO: 45mins ct, 15mins stairmaster, 3 hours picking weeds, no wonder I was hungry all day!
WEIGHTS: Chest

Proud that I passed on all the crap at din din tonight!! Cals a little higher than I would have like today, but I was very active so im sure I'll be fine. I bought a box of special K today simply for the free stepper, Im going to have to be careful around the cereal, its a trigger to binge. Packed over 45 BIG GARBAGE BAGS of weeds today....just imagine how many we picked!!! I just hope the garbage man takes the 30 some we put out for him!

Greeky hunny, Im just simply tring to stay under 120carbs, tonnes of veggies, and high protein. Im also not eating carbs after 3 or so. This is similar to Jodie's cutting plan, but Im taking it day by day. I plan to have a cheat meal once every 2 weeks. This is really working for me so far, and its super easy. I havent really craved carbs at all . I HAVE deff craved choc and sugar, but thats normal for me-except I now realize they are just 'impulses', and they do pass.

The main thing is, Im tired of hearing myself complain about ME. Either I have to put up with the way I look and accept it, or work to change it. Im tired of being depressed about weight issues. Basically, I either have to put up or shut up. Ive come to terms and am working on binge issues, and emotional eating. The Dr Phil book is great. The only thing is that you cant change some one who doesnt want to change. I simply want to bad enough now. I also realize that a healthy lifestyle and body wont come around if you eat crap everyday, Im really enjoying eating healthy again, I feel 100% better.

I think you just have to be in right mindset, 99% of the time.

That is alot of weeds! Glad we live in an apartment, landscapers come do that once a week.

Reading this journal makes me really happy these days You're in a great place sweets and I love it!

Thanks Jenny, I feel just pure happiness inside, I really cant explain it. I really think that after my Cuba trip, It has made me realize how fortunate I am, and I really look at life differently now.

BTW, Steve and I were talking about Sweden, and I was like, 'I have a friend in Sweden'!! He was like 'Ya, Sweden is voted having the most attractive people in the world!'. You fit in perfectly. Have a fantastic day beautiful, enjoy working!

 

[Jenny]

Hey Jillsan!
You do have a friend in Sweden Yes, we do have a lot of hottie people here. Really, when you go to a club there's just beauties EVERYWHERE. Guys and girls! If you ever decide to visit Sweden I'd love to be a tour guide and show you all the hot spots If I'm here that is
So glad you're feeling good, I think you're experiencing what I did earlier this spring I had a little downfall during my vacation, feeling bad about myself, and it reminded me to never stop working on the things that matter Reading your journal is great for all of us here, you inspire us all

Excellent post Jill!! So true, you just made my morning! I'm going to get that Dr. Phil book to that everyone keeps talking about. I think it would be very beneficial.

Have a good day sweetie!!

 

[gwcaton]

Morning Jill !
You sound so happy and you are doing so great ! I just got up ! WOHOOOO this vacation stuff is fun ! LOL

I didn't realize they has sooooo many weeds in Canada !
Have a great one !

Like NG said ... great post Jill!

Your Cuba trip has been beneficial it seems. You have a new drive that is going good for you. And I love the food plan ... it's Jill's plan that works for you, instead of this plan or that plan.

I think you've hit it right on ... either live with how you are and don't complain, or change it. It's very simple to say, but hard to implement - and you've begun the process of making the change. You go girl.

How was the weekend? It certainly was nice out. We went to Albert Beach. It was beautiful out there, although the beach itself left a lot to be desired. It would be nice to have a Cuba/Mexico type beach here to relax at. We brought our daughter and see really didn't care ... so it all worked out in the end. Oh ... our daughter was voted most well behaved and most beautiful at the campsite by the managers. Most beautiful was a very nice compliment ... being the best behaved wasn't hard to get - the things parents let their kids do while camping. Our friends have a 5th wheel. Their neighbours kids were throwing water balloons at it?? And when it was brought up to the parents, they shrugged their shoulders and said "they isn't much we can do really" ... so I found the kids and told them straight up, if I caught them, I'd beat their a$$ and there wouldn't be much my wife could do .... " There wasn't another balloon thrown at their 5th wheel.

I think thats something Ive NOW FINALLY discovered, put up with what you are or shut up. Only YOU can change YOU! Finding something that works for me is diff than what might work for someone else. For ex Carb cycling, I was miserable, and I didnt lose any weight-It may work for one Jodi, but not for another JodiE I am no longer eating to feel satisfied-that not what food is for.

Glad to hear about your fab weekend at the beach NT. Your daughter sounds like a real gem-great parents make all the difference in the world.

Really? Wow. Thats a HUGE compliment, seriously. You really are a gem

I love this eating plan.. sounds practical and do-able!!! WHen you say no carbs after 3 pm, does that include veggies? Just curious..
I sorta try to eat like that as well.. but after a wo, I am supposed to eat carbs, so if I work out later.. I eat carbs.
Good luck Hottie, I LOVE your ATTITUDE!!

 

[Jill]

Hi Sappy! I still eat veggies after 3, I just try not to eat any complex carbs, I might have some diet yogurt. If I workout late in the day I will probably eat carbs later than 3, but I usually train in the am's.

Thanks for the compliment of loving my attitude, I really love it myself now!!!
