I like having my sister around

Jun 03, 2009 19:25

Today has been a really nice day, and I have no idea why I was freaking out about my sister coming to stay with me.

We both woke up at around 9:30, went to Starbucks for coffee and then drove to theSarah Duke Gardens where we sat in the shade reading and eating fruit salad. We came home around 2, Sarah made me lunch and took a nap and then we ( Read more... )

That is an AMAZING achievement, Loey. I am so proud of you! Would you be happy sharing your exercise/eating regime with me? I'd love to know what exactly about it is working for you :D

SO HAPPY FOR YOU.

THANKS :DDD I was sure I'd gained ten pounds, so to see that I'd lost was a huge thrill.

That's so awesome! And you can do it! I'm going to start getting back on track to and I'm going to look for you for inspiration.

What sort of exercise are you doing and what are you eating? What do you eat in the morning before your workouts so you don't pass out into a quivering glob of hunger? Today I ate a little thing of cottage cheese and then went to the gym and halfway through I started shaking and getting light headed because I didn't eat enough. I don't want that to happen again.

Thank you so much :)

I do an hour every day of cardio, either an hour on the elliptical or a 3+ mile trail walk that's mostly hills. I eat between 1300 and 1600 calories a day, a mostly vegetarian diet with the occasional exception of fish. I mostly work out in the evenings but if I have to do it in the morning I go early, right after I've woken up because I find I'm not hungry and I don't need to eat anything. But if I'm going to eat breakfast before I work out, I have an egg white omelet with mushrooms and cheese, a whole wheat english muffin and some fruit. It's about 300 calories, it doesn't make me too full and gives me protein and carbs.

I also drink a lot of water, probably 12+ cups a day because it keeps me from feeling too much like my stomach is empty which I sometimes mistake for hunger.

Good luck, you can do it :)
