[DreamWarrior]

This thread is a 2012 continuation of the original Energy In (Food) and Energy Out (Exercise) board!

As originally stated, this thread is for accountability of food intake and exercise, only. All other dialogues should be in the other MediWeightLoss threads.

L: chicken w/dark leafy greens (I know Im not supposed to have greens on week 1, but I felt soo weak and light headed)
S: 2 beef jerkies
D: Planned - grilled pork tenderloins

Exercise: IDK yet. I wanna do day 1 of "Insanity" but I'm not sure that time will allow that to happen. *sigh* If I dont do Insanity, I'll go for a walk around the block - regardless of the time. That's what flashlights are for!!

Thank you DreamWarrior and Erin for getting this started!! I've been out of the loop....and my weight shows it. I plan to submit starting next Monday after a birthday weekend with my youngest daughter. Again, thanks!! (Truly, having the accountability is what made me so successful last time....now that grad school is FINISHED when I reach goal this time I can focus on HOW to maintain....rather than rush off to the next grad school project). Fit2010 wants to be fit again in 2012!!

Woohoo Deb is here!!!

Getting into the groove again. Although yesterday, I FEEL like I overate but it doesn't show it on paper. I'm still in ketosis but I didn't go down in weight. Sunday I weighed 129, Monday 131, Tuesday 130, Wednesday, 130 again. I think I need to hide the scale...

B: sausage/egg/cheese cup, coffee w/ almond milk
S: EAS shake
L: ham and cheese, yogurt
D: chicken burger
S: chamomile tea, almond milk

No exercise.

Hiding the scale. I think I have to agree....and limit to once or twice a week. It is such a crutch...such a mind game. I did walk about 2 miles Tues and Wed while walking all over the hospital. Got an injection into my right shoulder this AM and I hope that helps my deltoid tendons feel better....I injured them about 8 wks ago.

Hi all!! (waving)

I've decided I need to start being accountable again. My weight is up and down, and I haven't been exercising like I should, so I'm STILL about 12 pounds up from where I was at Thanksgiving. I read many many things about the need to switch things up with both food, caloric intake as well as exercise. Our bodies are so VERY effecient at adapting to whatever we eat or do to burn calories..... so I'm back to trying to make sure I hit the gym on different days, instead of just the Monday, Wednesday, Friday like I did for a while. My plan is to even switch up what I start with each time I go..... bike one day, treadmill another, and maybe the weights on another. I've tried actually increasing my protein calories from 500 to 700 on some days.

I know there is a whole way of eating (here on LCF) called JUDDD where you figure your high and low caloric needs then switch between them every other day......hmmmm being able to eat more every other day has some appeal

Today I got about 550 in protein, and did 1 hr of aerobics at the gym (treadmill on randowm hills, and only 3 miles on the bike....my foot started getting tingly)
