Monday Cardio/Cafe

Ask your Doc if you can use Melatonin. It's an all natural and occurs naturally in our bodies. I take it in pill form and I get it at the health food store. I usually fall asleep about 15-20 minutes after taking it with no side effects or drowsiness in the morning.

Hi Carly!
Thanks for the advice.  I really appreciate it!  Unfortunately, I've been diagnoised with bi-polar, anxiety and PTSD, for many years.  Sleeping has always been a battle, and have tried everytype of sleeping pill and can't maintain a sleep cycle for a long period of time.  Hopefully, something will work soon.
Keep on BOTTing!!!
Deb

Monday is Day 1 for getting back on track for me.

My food intake for today:

1 hardboiled egg, large
1 glass water

Breakfast 2 - 07:45am
1 10oz Slimfast Chocolate 3-2-1 Shake  

Snack 1 - 11am
1 Peanut Butter Crunch bar (SlimFast)

Lunch - 2pm
2 apples, small
2 Tbsp peanut butter

Snack 2 - 3:30pm
4 Fig Newton cookies

Dinner - 6:30pm
Italian sausage with onions and peppers (no rice)


Excercise:
Stationary bike - 30 minutes total  (with 1 min 'spin' intervals every 10 minutes)


Totals for the day: 
Calories:     1235
Fat:                 46g
Net Carbs:  171g
Protein:          60g

Not a horrible start, but I definitely see room for improvement.
I need to get my protein up (Unjury protein has been ordered!!) and increase my water intake.
I also need to decrease total carbs by at least 1/3 to 1/2.
