Que's Journey begins

Que-dizzle, why are you removing whey from your diet? That is not considered part of the dairy that you need to eliminate. If I were yuo, I would keep the ON whey in there. Since you are already drinking soy milk and may rotate in soy pasta, there is no need for more soy protein powder as well.

Also, I wouldn't have turkey bacon twice daily. I would pick a cleaner protein like chicken, turkey, tuna or egg whites.

Just my 2 cents..hope your week is off to a good start

Since Whey is derived from milk I thought I should be eliminating that also. "Whey: the serum or watery part of milk that is separated from the coagulable part or curd especially in the process of making cheese and that is rich in lactose, minerals, and vitamins and contains lactalbumin and traces of fat."

I'm getting a little tired of tuna so there will be more chicken & turkey the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Diva-Roo

Even though I was trying to hurry it took almost 1.5 hrs to mow the yard and I used 2.5 tanks of gas in the mower. I can normally get it mowed with 1 tank. That was some tall stuff!

Finally had the PBJ sammich I've been craving for a week.
(Flax/Omega3 bread, skippy NPB, sugar free blackberry jam)

Now it's off to the gym for some "stress reduction therapy."

Unless you are allergic to dairy, you do not have to eliminate whey. I believe you are just dropping dairy from your diet to be able to drop body fat faster. If so, then you can keep the whey in for your PWO shake. While whey is still technically dairy, per your definition above, it is the watery part of milk so it is not rich in lactose etc. Just find a brand that doesn't bloat you and since you're already using ON, you should be fine. If you look through the logs here, you will find while there are many that have eliminated dairy, they still keep the whey in for their PWO shake.

I hope that helps. You can google to find a better explanation.

Your explanation is more than sufficient, that's something else I've learned today.

My body is a little tired this morning but nothing is really "sore." It felt good to be working out last nite, even if it was only a little bit on each area.

Changed up the cardio a little by doing half stepmill & half treadmill. I'd like to try the spinning class but it's at 5:15pm and I'm not sure if I can get there in time. If not, I can probably do half stationary bike and half eliptical or something. I really need to hit the cardio as hard as I can and get this fat off.

Ok I'm rambling again........
