I am starting my New years diet ournal a bit early because I would love to have a different resolution for once in my life! My eating has been horrendous and I am anxious to get bac on trac. The only way I lose is to go way low carbs - atleast in the beginning. I am not fortunate enough to be able to do low GI carbs ust yet. - Letters in my ey board are not woring - sorry!
Anyway, I am planning on a run/wal tomorrow at 4:30 as I have to be on the road by 7:00am.
Tomorrows worout is arms. Wish me luc - I am going to need it!!
Oh, Beginning stats - 5'3 - 120 22%bf - 42 years old - wor full time, wife, MOM!!

WOW! Could the support here be any better!!! I just love this place! Thanks so much my mentors!! I am sooooo imprressed that you both have stayed dedicated! I read both your posts as often as I can! Jen - you have done so well! I am so glad that your knee is healing and that you are still journaling! It is very inspirational and helpful to many people!
Bunny - again thank you for the support!!!
Today had been off to a good start! Did a 7 mile walk/run with my X-Vest on - weighs 20 pounds. I needed this to get my head clear. Went for a "cleaning" after that to rid the pre diet toxins! I am going more keto diet than anything else - I need to - I know it is not "balanced" but - why start balanced now!! I really need to lose the carb cravings though and this always does it!
Started with turkey and then some tuna salad - very little mayo. - Need to get that sludge feeling!
Working out later with "Joe testosterone" - aka dh!! I love working out with him! He uses every short cut in the book - looks absolutely gorgeous and does about 4 sets and says - ok let's leave! I like to do 104 sets - not really - totally natural though - maybe some B complex - so we are a good pair! - Sort of balance each other out!
Have a great day guys!

I just love this board! The support is fantastic! I had a good day yesterday - stayed all protein but still am not comfortable with my nutrition. I want the weight off but I also want to be on a realistic program. I swelled up like a balloon yesterday too. Anytway, I had a great workout - biceps -how can you go wrong(!) and then met my daughter at the park - she wanted to walk home -4.5 miles so I joined her because I love the conversations we have on these walks! She is great! My ND came over last night - we are good friends - she has a practice in Manhattan and CT. She brought some green powder that she is using at her practice. She took my juicer - made 2 gallons of cucumber, celery, and very little carrot juice and told me to drink it today to rid the swelling I was experiencing. She also said my color looked awful and wants me juicing more colorful veg and carrots. I am willing - she looked at my eyes and all this other hocus pocus stuff and said I really need vegetables and fruits now - not many fruits. I am lucky to have her so I will do this - it is interrupting my weight loss plans but according to her the weight will pour off and my health, stamin, etc will improve. This is an easy plav for me because I have all of the tools. The last time I stayed consistent with this I did reach my goals so again, I am willing. Her husband is a Personal Trainer and has a studio in Manhattan as well so she is familiar with that lifestyle as well! So, today as we were running late I only had time for a 3 mile run. DH and I are off to the gym shortly - Chest and tri today. So far I have had 32 ouncces of the juice - very tasty btw! So much for my egg and crab omlette!

Well, the cleaning out diet definately cleaned me out! I like what Saddy wrote about diets - I want to follow up with her on that. The vegetbles do increase my appetite so I really wnat my protein back!
Had a great workout this morning - ran 4 miles and went to the gym for back/bi.
Food was protein today - Keto shake after run with Jay Robbs egg powder. After training a small tuna crab mix. - Loads of water.
The only definate thing I can say for sure with the diet is I will not consume junk food and I will limit fruit.

Oh Boy!! Great run this morning!! Only 5 miles - did a 9 minute pace but it felt really good and really strong! Had a great chest/ tri workout yesterdy too! Today I am hitting back and bicep - Can't wait!
Bought 2 new pair of running sneakers today - this will get me through Thanksgiving - hope to do a few races 2 1/2 marathons coming up that Icould potentially be ready for in October. Diet is going well. I realize I have to eat protein - can't do the cleansing diet I wanted to - not fair to keep putting my body through it! Food for today
Protien omlet - one egg 1 scoop Isopure - sooooo good!
4(?) ounces chicken breast
1Scoop of pro powder - killed my sweet craving!
I am going high/low protein days - I will probably cycle every three days or so - carbs will come from vegetables and a bit of fruit on my carb days. This program is great! I have to get the fat off asap!!
