First Diary Ever

Yah I did have more resistance yesterday than the time before...ugh! It was a good workout but hard.
So today is not the best day I guess. Diet wise it is pretty good so far.
1436 Cals
36% Fat
40% Carbs
24% Protein
I might have another snack...
Exercise: I have workers at home so I haven't been able to workout so I don't know if I'll get one in today!! And tomorrow I am really hoping to get one in since I didn't get to it today!
I am at least going to try and do some core training (abs, push ups, work with the big ball thing...)

Hey Beemss, good job on staying in target with your cals. One suggestion is to try to switch your fat and protein percentages and to slightly lower your carbs so that it reads Protein: 40% Carbs/fats: 30% each.
I know it's easier said than done. Try squeezing in some hard boiled egg whites for breakfast and some cottage cheese for your #1 snack. Also you can look into some (powdered) whey to add to your oatmeal...
Good luck!
Thanks for the advice. I am trying to increase my protein, my problem is I don't know of enough protein sources that I like. Unfortunately eggs and cottage cheese are not appetizing to me. But I like the whey powdered idea for oatmeal -- I'll go and get some this weekend. any suggestions on a brand? I'll keep looking for more protein sources. Chicken is really high in protein and I like it -- so that is a plus! Had some tonight!
Thanks again!!!
Josh is her second husband you know...
I am sure this is going to sound stupid, but who is Josh? I get that he is her "second husband" and a hot piece of @$$ but would this be a person I might recognize from say....anything???
So tonight I had an OK day. Work is really taking the life out of me and so is forgetting to take my synthroid. OOPS!!
But I managed to get in 1390 cals (little less than I would like):
27% Fat
26% Protein
47% Carbs
Breakfast -- oatmeal and peanut butter
Snack -- yogurt
Lunch-- Lean Cuisine Ravioli and raw veggies
Snack -- almonds (about 20)
Dinner: Chicken/ cucumbers/ grapes
I then went and jumped some rope today and did some sprints up our driveway.
BIG POSITIVE for today is: 2 lbs loss so far!!!

I got this from LV's grocery list:
Proteins
boneless/skinless chicken breast
turkey breast
salmon
tuna
swordfish
haddock
tilapia
flounder
round steak
sirloin steak
flank steak
beef tenderloin (filet mignon)
lean ground beef, chicken, turkey
orange roughy
egg whites
lean pork
crab
lobster
shrimp
buffalo
whey powder
For whey protein, just visit a nutritional store and look for something that has a high protein count--high teens/low 20's is good, mine I believe has 19 grams of protein per serving, lots of vitamins and decent calories (under 150).
OH!!! Josh Groban...there are so many Josh's out there -- Thanks for letting me in the "loop"
I have looked at his list previously and have incorporated some of the protein sources in our diet, i.e. ground turkey, increased chicken.
My goal next week is to have at least one day over 35% protein and maintain 30% protein the rest of the week. Try to work my way up!
Today was a really bad day! Nothing that I want to post on this because calories were 1088 and no exercise because I am totally exhausted from work and probably from not having enough calories/ protein...
MOTIVATION this weekend is to keep the 2 lbs off, run and play at the park with kids, and exercise!
Boot camp on Saturday and something (maybe HIIT) on Sunday!

Don't worry about the day. It's ok. At least you didnt' go over!! Unfortunately, when I have days that are like today for you, I get excited! LOL I tend to feel better about myself! LOL But then again, I'm messed up, so don't listen to me. LOL
I'm also on Synthroid. Hmm...were we separated at birth?
Just keep going. You can do it!

I was thinking doppleganger -- Or maybe I am some crazy psycho chick trying to be just like you! Watch who is following you...
OK I am just joking! But it does seem eerily weird that we are so similar!
