Jenn, I know how you feel--the frustration of losing the same 5 lbs. over and over. I joined this group at 240 In Jan. 2011, at one time got down to 207, and am back up to 229.5. But I know I can do this--just taking one day at a time with the help of my doctor and this wonderful group. I also understand the learning experience in meal plans. I almost went over in cholesterol for today. Luckily I ate only half my large salad at Wendy's that also had hard boiled egg and bacon in it. I was going to eat the other half for dinner until I discovered after logging that salad was so high in cholesterol. I usually eat zero cholesterol egg substitute. I saw in the nutrition tracker that one large chicken shell egg has 211mg cholesterol. My target is a maximum of 250mg cholesterol per day. So I am NOT eating the rest of that salad for dinner tonight, but can enjoy it for lunch tomorrow.
Hope, it took a lot of web surfing to come up with that list of metabolism boosting foods. Wish I'd found a ton more--but I'll still keep looking. I'm NOT letting go of that whip--too chicken! LOL Gotta go pick up grandkids from school. Will be back later. |
New to fitday. Started after getting back from Thanksgiving, time to do something. I love reading all your plans, here's mine:
1)<1300 calories 2) 6 glasses of water /day, include water at wake up 3) exercise days at gym 4) yoga or meditate daily 5) food journal 6) join forum for support, need support |
Ama and Hope, thanks for the well-wishes.
Mern and Jenn, I totally feel your pain losing the same few pounds over and over. If I were pounding my head against the wall, I would learn that it's not a good idea and I would stop hurting my body. Why can't I apply the same concept to eating the wrong food? 1. Try to average 1650/day for the week. way off. 2. Get back to logging everything every day, even the bad stuff. yes 3. Take my meds 2x/day. yes 4. When I start to grab a high calorie, high sugar snack, make a better choice. yes.* *ok, so in the a.m. before I made my goals I ate Oreo's. After I ate them and logged them is when I made the goal to stop eating high sugar, high calorie snacks. That I did. But then I later in the evening I was so starving, and I didn't know what else to have for a snack, so I grabbed some Cheez-Its.:( Those two things made my calories for the day sky-high. So I need to modify #4 to read "When I start to grab junk food, make a better choice." One snack that I recently found was little mini rice cakes that are apple cinnamon flavored. They are really good! Crunchy, sweet, and you can have quite a few for not many calories. I need to buy more of those. And tonight it's going to be sky-high again because we are having Panda Express for dinner. We rarely get it, and when dh says I can go get it, I can't turn it down. I will just have to make up for it some other way. There's always the dreaded "E" word. (beware, men) Oh, and I shouldn't have weighed myself and beaten myself up over my weight gain up to 238 the other day. The next day was the start of ttom for me, and I always go up several lbs during that week. Already today it's 236.8, so I know by the end of the week it will be better. Welcome to the group, smartday. |
Quick update.
I thought I was doing well on what I ate today but when I added it up the carbs and protein they were both high. I did get some exercise in today and felt great after doing it (only about 20 min). Jenn |
