Any idea what the GI is for that product? I'm Type II diabetic so I'm always looking for great GI's to add more variety to my diet.

I did a google search for you and the GI is 38 - it's a type of bread highly recommended for diabetics so it should hopefully work for you.

2 hour delays work wonders on my state of mind
I freaking <333 them

6:45-7:00 High pace yoga stretching on tv
7:00-8:00 Denise Austin show... bits and pieces of it. Not too much of a work out but it gets my blood flowing

8:10 -small piece of egg beaters, rolled oats cooked in water w/ cinnamon and raisins (I put wayyy too much cinnamon on-yuck. but i was in a good mood, and ate most of it)

10:30 -few carrots, celery sticks w/ 2 or less tablespoons NPB

1:00 -veggie salad (with chedder cheese and ranch dressing...preety sure my school's ranch is low-fat but not fat-free)
1 orange
skim milk

3:30-4:30 Swim practice

7:00- Weight on new scale: 138.2

7:20 ((how do you go 6 hours w/o eating? Is that even right?))
-leftover brown rice, skinless chicken, and green pepper from Sunday's
lunch
-2 pieces of breaded chicken and about 8 fries in salad w/ lo-fat ranch

7:45 -50 calorie fruit cocktail

Done eating for the day. I'd say I did preety well today! After the cinnamony rolled oats I had the temptation to eat the leftover chicken and another serving of the leftover rice, but instead I got it ready on a plate for part of tonight's dinner. Yay! I could have also had that peanut butter right in the morning as I was preparing it for the snack, but I didn't cause the rolled oats did fill me up, so I thought, why should I?


The Navy Seals test is a fitness test that people at my school try just for the heck of it. A bunch of guys from my school have passed it the past few years and got their names written on a plaque in our gym. I'd be the first female! I need to work on my pull-ups, right now I can only do one or less.


That bread sounds yummy, lol. I think they sell it in my Kroger's organic department. Gonna check that out.

Whenever you can, try to go with the light (low-fat) ranch as opposed to the fat free. You need some fat in your diet. Believe me when I say the low/fat-free diet just doesn't work. I've tried it.

That, plus the fat-free products tend to have a high amount of carbs.

For sure. Fat free Ranch tastes like crap anyway!

My trademark "things I passed up today":
*Papa john pizza sale @ lunch
*cake and candy, chips, all that junk for teammate's birthday. I don't need any of that crap period, and I especially don't feel like eating it right after I swim!
*more food (i would have reached for Rold Gold Honey twist pretzels) after the healthy choice dinner filled me up- I used to eat after dinner for no apparent reason.

Good to see you're finding little "habbits" that you can eliminate to reach your goal! Good job, girl!!!

 

[buffalogal]

Papa John's is definitely the best! I've put away a whole pizza by myself in one sitting before. Course, that could explain why I ballooned up to near 200 pounds at one point...

 

[rocky_road]

Thanks for the support guys!

I was reading about whey protein because i'm trying to look for the best types to buy next...

And I noticed that you should drink it 15 minutes before bed, so I just had some.

but it made me hungry so i also had 2 unsalted pretzels and 4 honey twist pretzels. It was almost second nature to eat those pretzels, so by the time I realized pretzels ARE NOT particular good for you, I already had the first one in my hand and was excited about it.


bedtime~~goodnight!
