Brown sugar is still sugar ... opt for Stevia or splenda if you need a 'sweetener'

[Afgrl]

How do the kashi bars taste?

I love them, and so does my 1 1/2 year old!

They have 3 different flavors that I've tried so far; honey almond flax, trail mix & peanut butter. My favorite is the honey almond.

You should try them, they're good for on the go snacks.

Going out to dinner w/the family for St. Patrick's day......I am craving a big fat cheeseburger, but I KNOW I'd be sick if I ate it. I was reminded earlier that swimsuit season is just around the corner.......so I'll stick w/some sort of chicken and veggies or salad w/chicken.

Going to work out w/my hubby tomorrow, I am so excited & can't wait!! It's been a while since we've gone to the gym together.

You're probably not going to like this but here goes....

I went back two pages and looked over your eating plan. Did you know you cheat EVERY day? I'm just curious as to if you're getting any results?

Sorry about that, but the needed to come out!

I know the pacakes & sausage on the weekends........pizza & sodas (diet or not) pastries......what else do you consider as cheating?

 

[scorpiogirl]

I know the pacakes & sausage on the weekends........pizza & sodas (diet or not) pastries......what else do you consider as cheating?

Milkshakes, too many condiments (I'm sometimes guilty of this), croissants, rold gold snack mix, kashi bar, icecream sandwich, apple cinnamon oatmeal, turtle sundae milkshake, frappuccino, 1c noodles, 1/4c sauce, honey, fruit works drink, iced latte, vodka cream spaghetti, cinnamon toast crunch, turkey dog on white bun.....this was thru 03-19-06.

Anything that sounds HALF as good as VODKA CREAM SPAGHETTI just CAN'T be clean! lol Your goals may not be to do a contest, and you may be eating better than you had been in the past. But ALL of this stuff is keeping you from reaching your goal. If you want to eat this stuff - do it on Saturday OR Sunday. GO ALL OUT if you want - on one of those days. Just don't mix it in every day during the week. You're probably looking at all that saying "HOLY SCHMOLY" I didn't know my diet was THAT bad! It's all part of learning what to eat and what's not so good for everyday consumption.

I hope I haven't offended you, just trying to help you reach your goal.


homeade bread (what do you make this with?)

 

[Afgrl]

SG, thanks for the big eye opener! I have a breadmaker & I use flour sugar, salt, water and yeast to make the bread sometime ww flour and sometimes regular.

Today(Monday)

I guess it's about time that it was my turn to get sick......HORRIBLE sinus infection, throat is on fire, can't breathe through my nose, etc. Uuuuugh, not much of an appetite either. Figures!

 

[scorpiogirl]

Mmmmm, homemade bread is SOOO good.....be careful with that too. Use WW or some other whole grain flour to make it if you can.

Hope you're feeling better!

You actually beat me to it ...

I could have wrote word for word, what SG did, I thought you were off your diet or something & was trying to figure out what I should say/ask before jumping to conclusions ..

With ONLY the intention of helping ...

Thanks, IP, gosh knows I need them (get well vibes.) I thought I was going to lose my voice last night, it was so scratcy and it hurt. I felt a little better this morning. But, I'm still all stuffy and can't breathe through my nose, therefore my hubby & kids can't understand some of the things I say. HA HA HA.

I know, you're right. That's is so true!! Obviously it was meant to happen, so that was our big Easter surprise. HA HA, the year before last it (being pregnant w/my daughter) was a Valentine's surprise.

 

[Afgrl]

Well, I'm trying to up my cals a little, can't really diet now, but still trying to eat healthy. I would eat fish everyother day if I could (craving it) but I have to watch out for it now w/the mercury levels. Taking my vitamins, but still feeling pretty nauseous, especially first thing in the am, but it's worse at night this time. Eating lots of crackers and getting sick of them quickly, bleh! Still want to do some sort of cardio, so I don't gain too much weight, and have to keep the weights lighter now.

Everything is going well though, we did our landscaping yesterday and the yard looks really good now.

I hope everyone else is doing well, too!

I found a new website (called baby fit) to log my foods in & I will use this throughout my pregnancy, since it focuses more on what is essential during this time. I tried to paste a link to my food journal but it won't paste the actual food journal page, it'll only work for the home page.

Daily goals for calcium 100-200g, protein 65-80g, folate 150-200g, iron 140-170 & calories 1,940-2,240.

My actual Totals-Calcium 179.8g, protein 127.4g, folate 207.3, Iron 92.7g, 2,159.8 calories.........this isn't including my vitamin, which will boost the numbers up significantly.

Keep in mind you only need aprox. 300 extra cals a day when you are preg

*600 when you breast feed.... I CANT WAIT to hear what werdo things youre gonna crave lol. They say some women crave DIRT!! (linked to iron deficiency-dirt has iron I guess).... be careful!! MY mom craved french fries and hot fudge when she was preg. w. me. OH LORD!!!

I know, I am also trying to keep to my daily minimum servings as follows:

Milk group; 3 servings
Meat groups; 2-3 servings (lf lean meats)
Grains; 6-8 servings
Vegetables; 3-5 servings
Fruit; 2-4 servings

I'm supposed to gain anywhere from 23-35lbs. I gained about 20-25 w/my 1st baby, gained 30 with my 2nd, hopefully this one will be about the same. As far as the cravings go, I always ate salads & fruits, but doughnuts were the worst craving w/my 1st, and with my 2nd the craving was pb & bananas. With this one so far it has been fish, pickles and sweet/sour stuff, but not all at the same time. HA HA HA

Guess who's back....back again?!? Well, almost.......I'm 37weeks and 2 days now. My doctor says she doesn't think it'll be but a couple more weeks. I'm already making progress, and having frequent contractions throughout the day. I've been trying to rest, but can't seem to stay off my feet; but the good thing is I have everything ready for when I do finally have to go to the hospital to have little Alexandria Nichole. My diet has been alright, but not too much excercising going on except for walking. This pregnancy has been the hardest on me so far, not that I've had complications, but just I'm more tired and forget stuff ALL THE TIME....from one minute to the next, actually more like 10 seconds later. I've gained the most weight with this pregnancy, too.....GASP!! 41lbs so far.....went from 138 to 179!!!! Lost the muscle definition that I had in my legs and was finally gaining in my arms.....and gained some fluffly stuff in my buns, dang, of all the places, that's where I least wanted it at!! Oh, well, I guess that's about it for now. Looking forward to getting back into the "swing of things" after the baby and my doctor gives me the "okay."

 

[*Bunny*]

Awww positive vibes your way afgrl!

 

[Afgrl]

Awww positive vibes your way afgrl!

Thank you very much, Bunny!! Hope all is well with you, too.

 

[Afgrl]

Had an appnt last Friday, made much more progress and the doctor said any day now. I had pretty strong contractions saturday for about an hour, but then they tapered off. So, my doctor says if I don't have the baby by the 27th, that we're inducing that morning at 7am. I'm so anxious and excited......and a little nervous too, but this will be my 3rd, so I'll be ok I'm sure. I have another appnt tomorrw.....well, I'm tired and had better get some sleep. Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!

Oh, I was thinking about changing the title of my journal and keeping my food intake on here again, Then later I can add my workout routines, too. How do I do this, or do I need to have a moderator change it?!? Thanks!

 

[Afgrl]

Ok, well, I'm back and ready to start working out again. I can't really diet since I'm nursing, but I do need to clean my diet up quite a bit. I think i'll stick to the basics; chicken, fish, protein shakes, whole grains and vegetables. i also need to make sure I up my water intake, it's been difficult to keep on track with this since I'm no longer pregnant. So I bought a 3+ liter bottle and I'm going to start out trying to drink as much of one of these bottles of water a day. I'm also going to the gym tomarrow to get weighed, taped and my bf% checked.....pretty nervous about that, but it has only been 8wks and i'm pretty motivated to reach my goals again.

 

[Afgrl]

Ok, well I decided to get on the scale today....scary thought. I've lost 3 lbs in the last week, can't complian about that. So far in the past 8 weeks I've dropped 20 of the 44lbs I gained. Hopefully all will go well with getting back into the routine.

Alright, this is a little embarrasing but I'm going to post my pre during & post pregnancy weights up and also my goal of what I'd like to get down to as well.

Pre-138
During-182 (gained 44lbs......eeeeek!!)
Today my weight is 162, so I'm 2 lbs short of having lost 1/2 the baby weight.

I'd like to reach my goals in 6 months & my goals are the following: to lose 40lbs. To get to that goal I have to lose 1.67lbs a week. Is this a resonable goal or far-fetched?
My second goal would be to tone and strengthen my muscles moslty my stomach, thighs and back which is where I gained the majority of my weight.

This was the best food log days yet -- looks like you really do see now the importance of all that protein.

My biggest tip to anyone who strikes a plateau or is looking for a little boost: No carbs before lunchtime... and no carbs after dinnertime. For lunch, midday snacks, evening snacks, dinner... it's all good, but pre-bedtime and in the morning... ix-nay on the arb-cays. This was Ulter's main idea/plan he set forth for me nearly a year ago and it's worked WONDERS.

I am telling it to you because I see your diet is great right now and it'd be one small adjustment for you -- the cream of wheat, cereal, fruit, milk, etc. would need to be left out for breakfast, but you already make protein shakes and eggs to eat so that'd work just fine. Keep the cheese (lowfat is best), keep ANPB if you want to have that instead... I just live and die by these rules. You can read my log for proof!

Welcome back.
