Scorpio's Journal

Ok, I started this on the 12th. My problem cravings are white wine and crunchy, salty things (popcorn & potato chips) as you will see. But I'm really trying to cut them out.

I'm trying to keep my carbs low and protein high. Not training for a show, but my goal is to have a "fitness" build.

Good Luck !!! I know what you mean when you crave something crunchy. I incorporated WASA Crispbread into my diet and tended to curb those cravings or at least give me the idea I was eating healthy Crackers

In M24K's Log I noticed she was eating RYVITA, so I picked some up.

Everyone round here thinks it bland and tastes like cardboard... but I just grin and nod my head while they chomp on their Triple Whoppers from BK... Here is a link

RYVITA

Here is the fitday breakdown for the ones I eat (one piece is approx 2.5 x 4 inches)

lol Bunny everyone around here thought the same thing, but I liked the taste of Ryvita

Happy Logging Scorpio

Welcome to logging, Scorpio. Your stats are very similar to mine when I first started my log too plus we have the same goals too. I too try to keep my carbs on the low end. I'll be looking forward to peeking into your journal for new meal ideas!

roony- just read your logs - er, most of them lol - yes, we seem to be very similar. You've made awesome progress!!!!!!! Are you just taking your flax alone, or mixing it? I've been mixing mine in my shakes, and it totally ruins them, so I'm thinking about just taking a chug instead.

Hey SG! I either take a chug of the flax or lately have been throwing it on salads as dressing. You should try either and see what works for you.

Logging will definitely help you with reaching your goals. It has made me keep honest to myself. You're on your way to success!

I started the Yohimburn today. I'm anxious to see what it will do for me! Also, I ran out of my Isopure, so I was using my fiance's Universal Protein Powder for the last few days. I ordered my Isopure a couple of days ago and received it last night. I think my shake this morning was THE BEST protein shake I've EVER had after drinking that Universal crap!!!! I'm so happy to have my stuff again! I can actually have my shakes in the morning again without getting an upset stomach.
