Daily Eats / Exercise Monday April 26th .. Everyone...

WELCOME... Glad to see you posting..  it is great to use the posts to be accountable.. I think you will find it very helpful..

If you cant figure out how to get the rest of the chart on the post that is ok.. just tell the protein amount at the bottom of the post just like you did..

I am happy you decided to join us.. If you do not have time to list all the numbers that is ok.. you can just tell the foods and total calories and total protein.. some do not even add up the calories or protein and thats ok too..   The main thing is that we are being accountable for what we eat everyday.. and I also believe it helps others who do not list but check it out and they find foods to eat they are not eating..

I find posting my exercise for the day helps me too.. I push myself to make sure I do what I said I was going to do..

So keep posting.. and I hope you find this helpful for you..

huggs..

Hi everyone, I'm a day late but find it hard to plan ahead at this stage, if it doesn't sound pleaseing at the moment I don't tolerate it well. So, I keep a variety of good choices around and eat what sounds appealing.
Yesterday I had 4 protein drinks fruit flavored and 16 oz crystal light.
I ate 3/4 of a pure protein bar and 1/2 cup of turkey chili (yum, tried a few peauts at bedtime but a no go.
Walked 50 minutes on the treadmill, sore this morning. Funny it doesn't feel like I'm over doing it till the next day!
Hope everyone has a great day. Thanks for the eating out helps Teresa, I'm on the road alot today.

Cheryl..   I love the new Avatar.. now I have a face to place with the name..  

Sorry you are having a hard time with foods.. it is normal.. many go through that and you have to just go by trial and error unfortunately. It will get better.. remember that things you can not tolerate today you may be able to later.. and you may also find that something you tolerate today you cant tomorrow...this is where journaling your food pays off so you know what you did and didnt tolerate and what the reaction was.. mark it all down next to the foods and you can go back and check it when you need to..

I am glad you are posting on here...It is fine to list a day late if you have to.. or you can just list on the current day what you did yesterday.. the whole idea is just to be accountable to someone for what you are eating.. it really helps you stay on track..

Isnt it funny when we exercise we feel great and then the next day our bodies decide to tell us we used our muscles... well that is just what it is.. the body is not telling you that you did too much. it is just telling you that the muscles you used were not use to what you did.  You will find the more you do the less you will hurt.. At first I would give in if I was hurting and not do exercises that day.. but I have learned that if I push through it I do a lot better.. Don't go from 5 minutes to 60 minutes on anything.. slowly work your way up..but if you have done that and the muscles are sore then it is a good thing,, they are telling you that you used the muscles and gave them a good workout..
I need to take stock in Ben Gay.. I use a lot of it..lol.. but mainly on my arthritic knees  but the muscles like it too...

You are welcome for listing the restaurant items..I have a list I keep in my wallet.. If you have time you can go onto the websites  Dotti's Weight Loss Zone  www.dwlz.com   or Calorie King  www.calorieking.com  both of them list fast foods and regular restaurant foods.  Dotti's site is all restaurant and fast foods.. no homemade anything.. I use her site the most for fast food places.... I went on there and spent time researching the places we have around here.. I looked for the best foods at each place so I knew if I wound up there what I could eat.. When I am traveling I make a bigger list of places to carry with me.. I was given the web site on OH just like this.. and I am happy to pass them on.. I also have a portable book my PCP gave me to carry in the car but most places we do not have around here but it is nice when we travel.. I mark things on the pages so I dont have to take time to read everone in order to make a decision.. You will find that there are places you just need to advoid all together.. so when you get time go to the websites and make you a list.. It will really pay off when you are stuck away from home or when you are traveling..

Good luck to you with the new foods.. have patience and keep trying..
