Weight Loss Warriors (a.k.a. Team A) (Page 3)

Normal size bites...I try to keep under 1000 calories a day and I was not sure how mom made the peas (I have seen her puts lots of butter in them before)

Today's shake is German Chocolate Cake.

I cheated yesterday and today and just got the shakes at the gym on my way out the door.

The German Chocolate Cake has 36 grams of Protein and 2.5 grams of fat.

My gym uses www.shake-this.com.

Eric...you are not getting enough calories!!  Since you do not log, I have no idea how active you are, but you need more food.  You are starving yourself and that is bad on so many different levels.  Your body will not give up any weight if it thinks it is starving.  That is a leftover from our caveman days when famine was a possibility.  If you are working out regularly, your body needs the fuel.

I'm not a Dr. or a nutritionist, but this is basic stuff.  This is from a calorie calculator I found on the internet

So me, a 5'5" woman needs 2394 a day to maintain, 1915 to lose and extreme loss 1436. 

Please eat more.  Make healthy choices but, as a guess not knowing your height you probably need at least 2000 healthy calories a day

Rant off

Here is one I found:

dcrunningdiva - 2008-06-03 12:17 PM Hi everyone - I was peeking through some of your training logs and ran across a quote on Ron's training log: "Core Challenge workout #1: 50 pushups (10 sets of 5 ) and 2:00 total planks." I know Ron wasn't thinking about this when he wrote it but I think I'm going to take him up on this challenge. Anyone else want to join in (btw, I'm assuming that is two MINUTES of total planks not two HOURS)? ...I've never done planks before - it'll be a good challenge!

Argh! How long does the challenge last? I can certainly try! :>P

Um...I was just thinking one day!

Oohhh ok! Gotcha! I thought it was going to be a daily thing and that was going to hurt!

Look at my long-term goals area in my blog. I have to do each of those six workouts once per week for all of June (24 total). One day off per week. I (you) can do them in any order during the week. They don't have to be one "sitting", you can spread them out through the whole day. Them's the rules. Let me know if anyone else is up for it. Right now it's just 6-7 of us and it's not an official BT challenge, but nothing's stopping you. I can send a link to exercise descriptions if you need them.

and yes, it's 2 minutes total planks, broken up however you'd like.  although, 2 hours may have been easier than those pushups last night.

Ron.

 Here ya go

not having a great day today.  Not so muh eating wise, just in general. Work pretty much sucks right now.  I have done this carb limiting thing before, and it is always around this point where I get cranky.  I guess it is a craving for sugar and carbs.  I am getting tired of meat.  We did pave whole wheat pizza for dinner last night, and that was good.

The scale was nt kind to me thins morning, but that is not a concern since I know i did not drink enugh water yesterday.  I do belive that my clothes are fitting better, even after 2 weeks.
