Que's Journey begins

[que_66]

It's day 2 on the revised diet (excludes most dairy) and it seems like my body wants food every 2 hours instead of every 3 or more. I'm trying to drink water to help curb the hunger but so far it isn't working. I'm also trying not to have complex carbs after 6pm (although I don't remember exactly why..)

Does your metabolism get dorked up each time you change up your diet? Does it mean it's been kickstarted or something?



I admire those of you who have the diet part down pat. I'm still learning how my body is using the fuel I'm giving it.

Hows the evil daughter? You need me to put her in line or what? Unappreaciative youth these days

^^^ This is all a learning process... takes time... does NOT happen overnight .. and may NEVER ever be 100% ... You'll get there

She yelled at me last night because I was at the gym lifting and didn't have my cell phone on me. *rolls eyes* I wasn't available "in case" she needed me. I'm so selfish for having gotten that gym membership you know........

It's really about finding the foods that keep you full. If you're still hungry, load up with green veggies and time your good fats better during the day to keep you satisfied. And as wise Bunny says, it takes a while to figure out what your body needs through trial and error.

I would have to agree with that gesture!

Hope the tweaking is coming along!

Hey Q-Tip

Trying to come up with something inspirational to say but I'm lacking words today. It takes a long time to see changes doesn't it? It's starting to piss me off so I know exactly how you feel. On the verge of food fit but trying to stay strong.

P keeps telling me that it didn't go on overnight so it's not going to come off overnight either. It makes sense but you know, yeah, whatever.

So let's stay strong together.

for you and for me and one more for luck

I'm not allowed to have a food fit and neither are you so put that notion outta your gilled little head.

I can see changes in my body and I can tell that I'm stronger but I'm also really tired of being hungry all the damn time.

I just don't think my muscles need that much fuel but apparently my stomach thinks otherwise. I check my fitday numbers and recheck them every single day so that I don't go over. (Except Mother's Day, I was bad) I measure everything.

Now clap your fins together 3 times and repeat after me:
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit
I will NOT food fit



Are we clear on the NO food fit thing?

 

[mermaid]

OK,

I will NOT food fit

I'll eat an apple.......


Thank you
