LV'N MY RNY. WORKING FOR ME BECAUSE I WORK FOR IT.
Morning!
I'm doing pretty good today! I'm just getting my first protein drink in for the day. I had to wait until I made it to work because I'm in a "biggest loser" challenge here and today is weigh-in day. I am maintaining but not losing really. It's my fault though.........I have not worked out all week. Ugh!
However, I plan to try to get some cardio in today and I'm starting the liquid + diet today with Trina.
Here we go....................
I may need you to teach me how to calorie count. You really keep track of what you are eating. I don't do that at all - I just know when I've done ok for the day and when I've had a bad day. I really don't care for my NUT at all but I was just thinking..........how many grams of protein should I have daily? Just basics..........I'm going to search some stuff out online today.
Protein needs = weight in lbs divided by 2.2
For me 145 lbs / 2.2 = 66 grams of protein per day
I shoot for 100g. Anything lower and my hair falls out. Bald is not a good look for me.
Just hit me on the b/l if you want help with tracking. There are so many sites out there that make it easy.

I am craving salt. Is there a salt monster hanging out with the carb monster? It was the carbs and the salt yesterday. I'm not fretting over the carbs but the salt is a definete no. I managed to stay away from the caffine.
If I don't get moving today I risk falling behind on exercise. It is shaping up to be one of those weeks and it will only get worse. I have to make it happen. Minimum three cardio and three strength for the week.
When I get back into the carbs it always takes me a few days to put them down and get back on track. I guess the important thing is that I know that I can get back on track. I have put on 5 pounds of the 20 pounds I lost while ill but I'm weighing myself every day and will not let it get out of hand. I am determined to loose 20 pounds by my birthday in August.
I am thinking about asking my surgeon for a 30 day supply of diet pills so that I can get my eating on tract. I see him tomorrow don't know if he will do it or if I will have the balls to ask him for them but time will tell :) I know the pills are not the answer to my life long battle with food but I need something to jump start me this month.
