Thanks for all the suggestions and explanations everyone. I'm going to give consideration to all them and see if I can't get "dialed in" to what my body needs and when.
I can read logs and see the changes that others have made and are making but somehow the programming in my brain is still behind the times.

Seriously, it could be the dairy. Extra milk, plus with the yogurt and cottage cheese?????

Love the banquet you went to, LOL

I think you ladies might be right. I've added the yogurt recently & I eat 2-3 of those a day. I'll leave the milk in the whey shakes & for cereal and try to eliminate all the other dairy. It will take me a few weeks to get most of the dairy cycled out of the diet but I have to find suitable replacements for those items. Oh joy!






Now get those fins back to the gym!!!







...and don't roll your eyes at me either.




Is that better?

The only other thing that I've added recently are the SBD sesame chicken wrap meals. I've had them before but not as often as I have lately.

 

[Roonytunes]

Smart Mermie beat me to it, but I too was going to suggest trying to elminate some of the dairy in your diet. I think 2-3 yogurts per day is definitely a bit excessive. I would start with taking those out and leaving the cottage cheese and whey in, and seeing what your progress is like. I think you use ON whey - that actually mixes really well with water. You can also try soy milk as a substitute for skim milk. Vanilla soy milk tastes pretty decent.

I would also only use SBD meals like the wraps and choc crisp bar only where really necessary or as a treat. While not terrible, they are still more processed than other meals you could be eating. I love the SBD choc crisp bar myself but only permit myself to it on occasional weekends.

Too funny that they only had sugar cookies and punch at a "banquet".....

 

[ck2006]

Just stopping by to say have a great day, how did the tests go?

 

[que_66]

I had my "Wellness Screening" this morning and my numbers are:

Total Cholesterol: 121
HDL: 31
LDL: 77
Glucose: 73
Triglicerides: 66
BP: 123/72
Pulse: 53

The nurse was very impressed with all my numbers except for the HDL, which she said should be higher.
HDL = Good Cholesterol
LDL = Bad Cholesterol

Since I've had to fast since last night I was afraid that I might overeat today. So far I've eaten 2 pkt's oatmeal w/1 tbsp of GenSoy Protein Powder mixed in. Makes it very creamy! My meals will probably be a bit off today since 10am was my first meal.

I found an online calculator for converting food measurements in case anyone is interested.

I'm awake.
My yard is 3 ft tall.

I've discovered something called "Tofu Miso Soup" very good! It's a Kikkoman pre packaged instant soup and I thought I'd give it a try. Tofu, soybean paste, spinach.

Now I wanna find a recipe for it that I can make which will have lower sodium.



(If anyone needs me I'll be googling....)

If it isn't raining tomorrow I have to mow the yard. I generally mow twice per week. I didn't put any fertilizer down this year - If I had then I would be mowing at least 3 times per week until fall.

It's rained for the last 4-5 days and the grass is almost as tall as the mower. I'll have to rake it this time too. I guess that'll help wear off the cupcakes.

I checked the weather forcast as I'm typing this and it's showing rain for the next 3-4 days.........I'll probably need a bushhog.

PROPOSED MEALS FOR THIS WEEK 05/15-05/19/06

I need a little help getting this tweaked because I'm used to eating cottage cheese, yogurt & milk everyday and I'm cutting out my dairy.

Meal 1
1 pkt oatmeal or 1 pkt cream of wheat
1 hard-boiled egg white
1/2 c all bran
24 oz coffee w/FF creamer & splenda

Meal 2
3 oz sweet potatoe
2 pcs turkey bacon (Thanks Jens! )
1 hard-boiled egg white
1 sugar free jello cup

Meal 3
7 oz tuna
1/2 c black beans or kidney beans or pinto beans
1 hard-boiled egg white
1 sugar free jello cup

Meal 4
3 oz sweet potatoe
2 pcs turkey bacon
1 hard-boiled egg white
1 sugar free jello cup

Meal 5
2 pcs Flax & Omega 3 bread (toast)
2 tbsp skippy NPB
2 tbsp sugar free blackberry jam
1 hardboiled egg white
(I love toast so this PreWO meal sounds good to me but should there be something else here instead?)

*****Gym time/Workout*****

Meal 6
2 c Silk Lite Vanilla soy milk
2 scoops ON Whey, Dbl chocolate

Meal 7-Late snack before bed
?????

This menu puts me my macros at:
Calories: 1784
Fat: 39, 21%
Carb: 202, 37%
Protein: 171, 41

Target Calorie range: 1555 - 1866
Target Protein range: 155 - 233

1-I've left a little room in the macros for some Crystal Light.

2-I plan on picking up some different soy protein powder on payday but until then I'm using the ON Whey that I have.

3-I have some turkey, chicken, brussel sprouts, broccoli, prunes & soy pasta that I can rotate in and out. I'm just trying to figure out how, when, where.....

 

[BiggT]

What's the planned workut for today?

 

[que_66]

What's the planned workut for today?

If it's not raining: mowing the lawn, raking & maybe some wind sprints.
If it is raining: hit the gym for cardio and a full body workout. I need it.

 

[Roonytunes]

Que-dizzle, why are you removing whey from your diet? That is not considered part of the dairy that you need to eliminate. If I were yuo, I would keep the ON whey in there. Since you are already drinking soy milk and may rotate in soy pasta, there is no need for more soy protein powder as well.

Also, I wouldn't have turkey bacon twice daily. I would pick a cleaner protein like chicken, turkey, tuna or egg whites.

Just my 2 cents..hope your week is off to a good start

Since Whey is derived from milk I thought I should be eliminating that also. "Whey: the serum or watery part of milk that is separated from the coagulable part or curd especially in the process of making cheese and that is rich in lactose, minerals, and vitamins and contains lactalbumin and traces of fat."

I'm getting a little tired of tuna so there will be more chicken & turkey the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Diva-Roo

 

[que_66]

Even though I was trying to hurry it took almost 1.5 hrs to mow the yard and I used 2.5 tanks of gas in the mower. I can normally get it mowed with 1 tank. That was some tall stuff!

Finally had the PBJ sammich I've been craving for a week.
(Flax/Omega3 bread, skippy NPB, sugar free blackberry jam)

Now it's off to the gym for some "stress reduction therapy."

Thanks Diva-Roo

Unless you are allergic to dairy, you do not have to eliminate whey. I believe you are just dropping dairy from your diet to be able to drop body fat faster. If so, then you can keep the whey in for your PWO shake. While whey is still technically dairy, per your definition above, it is the watery part of milk so it is not rich in lactose etc. Just find a brand that doesn't bloat you and since you're already using ON, you should be fine. If you look through the logs here, you will find while there are many that have eliminated dairy, they still keep the whey in for their PWO shake.

I hope that helps. You can google to find a better explanation.

My body is a little tired this morning but nothing is really "sore." It felt good to be working out last nite, even if it was only a little bit on each area.

Changed up the cardio a little by doing half stepmill & half treadmill. I'd like to try the spinning class but it's at 5:15pm and I'm not sure if I can get there in time. If not, I can probably do half stationary bike and half eliptical or something. I really need to hit the cardio as hard as I can and get this fat off.

Ok I'm rambling again........

YOU WILL DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU WILL DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^^

GO for the spinning class! They are such a rush! I think you will enjoy it. Just be sure to eat well beforehand...

 

[que_66]

It's day 2 on the revised diet (excludes most dairy) and it seems like my body wants food every 2 hours instead of every 3 or more. I'm trying to drink water to help curb the hunger but so far it isn't working. I'm also trying not to have complex carbs after 6pm (although I don't remember exactly why..)

Does your metabolism get dorked up each time you change up your diet? Does it mean it's been kickstarted or something?



I admire those of you who have the diet part down pat. I'm still learning how my body is using the fuel I'm giving it.

She yelled at me last night because I was at the gym lifting and didn't have my cell phone on me. *rolls eyes* I wasn't available "in case" she needed me. I'm so selfish for having gotten that gym membership you know........

 

[Roonytunes]

Does your metabolism get dorked up each time you change up your diet? Does it mean it's been kickstarted or something?

It's really about finding the foods that keep you full. If you're still hungry, load up with green veggies and time your good fats better during the day to keep you satisfied. And as wise Bunny says, it takes a while to figure out what your body needs through trial and error.

Hope the tweaking is coming along!

Hey Q-Tip

Trying to come up with something inspirational to say but I'm lacking words today. It takes a long time to see changes doesn't it? It's starting to piss me off so I know exactly how you feel. On the verge of food fit but trying to stay strong.

P keeps telling me that it didn't go on overnight so it's not going to come off overnight either. It makes sense but you know, yeah, whatever.

So let's stay strong together.

for you and for me and one more for luck

I'm not allowed to have a food fit and neither are you so put that notion outta your gilled little head.

I can see changes in my body and I can tell that I'm stronger but I'm also really tired of being hungry all the damn time.

I just don't think my muscles need that much fuel but apparently my stomach thinks otherwise. I check my fitday numbers and recheck them every single day so that I don't go over. (Except Mother's Day, I was bad) I measure everything.

Now clap your fins together 3 times and repeat after me:
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit



Are we clear on the NO food fit thing?

Try planning your food the night before and playing with the numbers. or is that what you ment?

 

[que_66]

Try planning your food the night before and playing with the numbers. or is that what you ment?

I try to have them pre-planned but sometimes things get dorked up at work and I can't get to my food. Like today, the .5 cup allbran was supposed to go with chicken but I didn't get to eat the chicken or the jello. That throws my meal plan off for the day and I have to adjust it when I get home. I had to do that for tonites dinner to.

Last nite I didn't feel like cooking the Talapia that I had planned for dinner and sadly I didn't feel like cooking it tonite either. I really really dislike the smell of cooking fish in the house. Another reason I eat canned tuna.

I hate tweaking my diet. Just when you find what works, your body changes and it doesn't work any more. Vicious but necessary cycle.

I eat the canned tuna too and I know it is not good to eat bars but I now buy the All bran bars for convience. I cook all my chicken for the week and freeze it. I never eat what everybody else eats anymore and my kids don't understand. But I always try have a back up now, I carry almonds, bars and fruit in my purse! Yup I am the official dork.

"..........Generally, a person should consume 1 gram of fiber for every 100 calories or approximately 25 grams of fiber per day. Persons with reduced food intake, say 1200 calories, should aim for at least 15 grams of fiber as the average American only eats 12 grams per day..............

...but for now I'm off to the gym!

how was your workout? what do you have planned for the weekend?

 

[ck2006]

Go QUE GO!

 

[que_66]

how was your workout? what do you have planned for the weekend?

Workout was too short. Got to the gym later than expected so I didn't get as much cardio in as I wanted before Yoga class. That was my first actual yoga "class" and the instructor will be leaving sometime in the next month. There were only 2 students in his class so they may be discontinuing yoga.

Weekend plans:
sleep in
mow the yard
weedeating
edging
clean the gutters out.
Spoil the grandbaby.
walk the dog.
grocery shopping.
laundry.
etc. etc.

 

[sbt2082]

Popping in to say hello, hope you have a WONDERFUL weekend

 

[FlyBrownChick]

How did you enjoy the yoga class?

 

[que_66]

How did you enjoy the yoga class?

I think I would have enjoyed it more if there had been more people in the class. There were only 2 of us so the instructor was more chatty and less formal or less instructional. They may be discontinuing the classes due to lack of participation as the last 3 weeks had a total of 2 participants.





My daughter wants to spend the nite so I don't think I'll get any gym time tonite...............Grandma duty

 

[que_66]

Grandbaby slept with me last nite, she rolls around just like her momma. I didn't sleep much but grammy didn't really mind.

Today has been a wash where food is concerned. I've been so busy that I haven't stopped to eat until now. (about 6-7hrs w/o food)

Mowed half the yard
fixed the mower
mowed other half
cleaned gutters (full of rotting leaves & helicopters)
weed eated (with roundup)
watered the roses
cleaned sidewalks
2 loads of laundry done
shower #2 done
making shopping list cuz I'm really really hungry.
guess you know where I'm going don't you?

Friday's food macros were just under my minimum numbers. No gymtime, just grandbaby time.

Saturday's food macros were over the limit by 7. No gymtime, just lots of work outside, grocery shopping & sunburnt shoulders.

Sunday's food numbers will probably also be dorked up as I slept till almost noon and now I'm playing catchup with everything. No gymtime, lots of housework to do & lots of food to cook for next week.

I just never seem to get caught up on anything.
