Que's Journey begins

[que_66]

I've been limiting my coffee to 1-24 oz mug per morning when I'm used to drinking about 3 of those a day. I'm normally on mug #2-3 when I have breakfast.

I made sure to take an acid reducer pill before bed and then again when I got up this morning.

I ate my morning oatmeal around 7:15 am, usual time frame.
It's 8:55 am and my stomach is growling like a bear.

I've downed half a bottle of water and it's still makin the loudest hungry noise. Yesterday I tried hot black tea & it still growled at me.

The lady in the next cubicle is laughing at me because of it. (she could hangglide from a Dorito)

I might need a little help adjusting my foods but for now I'm headed to the break room for my 2 egg whites and maybe some asparagus.

It has to be the stomach acid issue. I've had my snack of egg whites and a whole can of asparagus and then on to lunch a bit later for a Subway Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap.
I'm working on my 2nd cup of green tea and I've downed at least 32 oz of water and another acid reducer pill. Guess I'll be getting a stronger kind later.

Can I make a suggestion?

Normally I see you have oatmeal for meal one, egg whites for a snack then maybe 12oz cottage cheese and 6 oz tuna for lunch. Could you bring some of that protein forward? Throw in some nuts and you might not feel so hungry? After am cardio, your body is so revved, it needs more food.

(Can't remember if you can't stomach much food in the morning)

Anyway, I'll swim back to my rock now.

GREAT job on the 100# You know you can do more

I ate 2 oz chicken before I ate my oatmeal this morning. Have to see how it works. (I don't have any nuts at home....just lots of chicken & tuna)

It's Day 4 of am exercise

Pilates again. It's only the 20min workout but I'm sweating when I'm done. I even woke up late but I wasn't about to use that as an excuse to skip my workout. At this point I'd rather be late for work than miss a workout.




.....don't forget to suck in those abs as you swim back to your rock!

A friend of mine said she'd bring her digital camera over this weekend and take some decent beginning pics for me to post. I hope she actually gets to come over and take the pics.
