WW's New Log - Counting down to the Cruise

[WoNderWoMan25]

Sometimes the change of scenery of a new gym works wonders....nice to hear about the carbs, carbs are good, lol.

Ah... the gym was great and not too far away from home. I will go back for legs. Their third and final location is great for chest, I hear- so I want to try that one as well. I've stopped saying 'Monday is a leg day' and just working legs when they are fully recovered & no longer sore. So every 3 or 4 days or so.

Carbs **are** good, I just feel that I am sensitive w/them. Should be GREAT, as long as I keep an eye on portion control.

Yeah, certain gyms and their crowds are always good for training particular lifts. That's great with legs, one thing that tends to hold people back is the mental thought of the dreaded "leg day" once a week, just get rid of the idea and go right at them with no intimidation.

Interesting take on your diet. I'm curious to see how it works for you. I've thought of doing the same, as a matter of fact!

I took the weekend off from this place - just reading around here is torture, esp. when this girl is HUUUUUNGRY!!

You tried some Trex? Or another appetite suppresant??? It's been helping me. That and freezing those jell-o cups and eating those... It takes at least 45 minutes to an hour to eat one... and like 5 calories...

Well, so far today, even without carbs, I'm not hungry. that's a step in the right direction, I guess!

I talked this over with my trainer. He *has* to know what he's doing since at 50-ish years old, he's still competing and winning all-natural (and even non-tested) shows. So, at his suggestion, I will still have higher and lower carb days, but even on a lower carb day, I will add in some starchy carbs like oatmeal or brown rice just before or after my workout. Not many yams, because I really think they make me retain some water.

Absolutely no hunger. The t-rex sounds good, but if it's not working for you I might hold off a bit longer.

Re- pictures. I promise to post them before I leave on May 28th. Looking at your tummy, I have a question for you!! Do you notice a change in the way your navel rings looks/sits in your belly button? Since I've lost weight/body fat, I notice a change it mine. It's crooked now! It hangs a little to the left... LOL.

Yeah more people have had parties in the past 5 weeks since I started dieting.... I haven't craved any cake or icecream. Just sat and watched. Just keep in the back of your head what they look like and what that food is doing to their body. That's what helps deter me away from all of that junk. I also just keep saying it's gross... When people ask if I want some I just tell them no that it is discusting!
