Cardio & Cafe - Sunday

Good Morning BOTTers,


So far I've been doing a good job w/ maintaining this weekend.  I stepped on my scale this morning and things look good. I woke up early and did 30 minutes of cardio this morning (interval walking/running) on my treadmill, just to keep myself in "check"  today.

Today's plan isn't set in stone, but I'm hoping to focus on healthy food choice.  I have plans to restock on vitamins and groceries.  Working on my list, right now.  

Happy Valentines Day!
Lisa

Happy Valentines day and GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES ! ! !   (hmmmm, what do they say when a woman joins the race?)

Good morning everyone

Happy Valentines Day!!!!  Today is off to a good start, I'm focused and energized. 

I have a few questions:
1. Where can I find the Obesityhelp tickler that people have? I figured this one out.  Fun.
2. From what I can see, most people do not mention carbs when they talk about their daily plans.  Do most of you stay away from carbs?  The reason I ask is I bought Kashi high protein cereal and wonder if I should stay away from that?  I wanted to buy something that I could take to work with me so I can have breakfast in the morning there.  I don't have to time to eat at the house in the mornings, I go to work at 630am. 
3. I got into the habit of drinking while eating years ago.  Do any of you still do that, I'm trying to get out of the habit again, so I dont even order water at lunch the last couple of days.
4. What do you keep your calories, carbs, protein, etc at on a daily basis? 

Thank you everyone, I look forward to coming here and getting to know all of you.  I stopped coming around for so long as I was embarressed but now I know I have nothing to be embarressed about.  I just need to keep focused and never give up!

2. Most of the times I avoid carbs, they are bad for me, they start my hunger cycles.  I do on occasion have whole wheat items because I know we need some carbs. 

3. As for the drinking with the meals, I also started doing that awhile back, I have now stopped that, went back to the rules, yes on occasion I do have something with my meal but not normally anymore.  The first thing I do is look at the clock when I'm finished eating so I know when my time is up so I can DRINK.  LOL

4. I have used the counter they have here on OH, but my preferred is FITDAY.com.

Lastly, don't be embarrased.  We are all hear for the same reason, we want to be successful !

Welcome to Bott!
Glad you found your answer to #1 !
#2. I steer clear of all "white" carbs as much as possible.  I did get turned on to Kashi Go Lean during the last few weeks, that unfortunately turned into a problem for me.  I can't stop eating it, so...No more Kashi for me!
#3. Is about the hardest thing for me to follow.  I still try to hold off on liquids as long as I can before drinking.
#4. I try to get at least 100 grams of protein in a day, try keeping carbs limited to 40 grams, and calories between 1100-1400 a day. 
#5. Don't be embarrassed, we are all human and here for the same reason;).

Hi guys!
Here I am, late again!  I had a great workout today.  I FINALLY did it... I started to run on the treadmill.  No much, mind you, but it's a great start for me.  I still need to learn how to breath the right way.  My food for today:
Breakfast - yogurt
Snack - protein drink
Lunch - skipped
Dinner - beef tips w/green beans
Snack - yogurt w/s.f. caramel
Have a good night!
