Wanted to get in some HIIT cardio but was very pressed for time w/ dr.'s appt and work. Legs need a rest anyway if I want to be walking by the end of the night.

Got a great compliment at the gym today and was told I should seriously consider doing a fitness competition. Between the inspiration I get here and the kudos there, I just might consider it someday.

Have to share a wonderful poem with you all that a friend recently gave me. Have been trying to get through some extremely tuff personal issues the past month or so and this couldn't have come at a better time! It helps me when I need a little extra boost and it's taken up permanent residency in my purse.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low, and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.

Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seems worse,
that you must not quit.

1 whole wheat tortilla w/ pizza sauce, onions, gp, 1/4 C low-fat mozz cheese
Salad w/ 1 C romaine lettuce, 1 C spinach
2 T Light Done Right Italian dressing
1/2 C applesauce
17 oz water

Meal 4: 3:30 pm

25 almonds
17 oz water

Had two cups of coffee with 2 T non-fat creamer at work. Have realized that this helps me with my cravings for sweet things, although the 90 calories for the creamer seem such a waste.

6:15 pm 1 Glucorell-R

Meal 5: 6:30 pm

2 oz baked Tilapia
1 C broccoli
1 C couscous
17 oz water

Meal 6: 9:30 pm

Apple
2 T Soynut butter
Protein Drink

Totals cals: 1643 (41% carbs, 31% Protein, 28% Fat)

**Ugh, still can't get these carbs down. The apple or the couscous may have to go.

***Passed one major hurdle today that always trips me up. My best friend told me that I don't fit into his life anymore and that he would have to break off the friendship. Normally, this would throw me into depression and I'd reach for the most convenient junk food in sight. Knowing that I would have to log it later has been such a tremendous help that I kept it clean today!! Maybe I can really do this.

Your carbs are not high.....where do you want them to be?

Way to stay motivated

Your carbs are not high.....where do you want them to be?

I'd like them to be between 30-40% at the most. Yesterday they were at 41%, and on a typical day it's more like 50%. I'm trying to get more protein and less carbs, and will shoot for that over the next week.
