Dear Cathe (or anyone else who would care to help),
First of all, Cathe, you look the best that you have EVER looked, which is incredible, becuase you always look amazing.
I am in a major rut with my weight! UGH!!! I am really looking for some motivation, tips, and ideas.
I eat clean and low carb 90% of the time. I have been recording what I eat for over 20 years (and I am questioning if that is just perpetuating my obsession with food). I don't know. Currently, I use MyNetdiary, and while I love this app, I am wondering if I should be less controlling with that.
Anyway, my diet consists of a morning (organic) protein shake, with flax, chia, almond milk, maybe kale, sometimes blueberries.
Lunch is a big salad with an egg, nuts, olive oil, sometimes chicken, sometimes not, tons of veggies. I bring chopped veggies for a snack.
I make almond flour pancakes for a snack, and I also snack on nuts.
For dinner I have egg whites, light cheese, and veggies.
I work out in the morning (usually a Cathe workout) and I teach a HiiT, metabolic, or heavy weight class four times a week in the afternoon. I LOVE working out, and I wish I had more time to do so. I have a pretty good rotation going where I change things up, so as not to let my body adapt.
I have issues with getting into ruts where I end up eating way too much, and the wrong things! This can happen on the weekend, or even during the week sometimes. I am always up and down 10 pounds, and to be honest, right now I really need to drop 15 pounds. I am sorry to go on and on here, but I am really looking for some guidance, help, support, maybe someone who can relate to what I am saying, and maybe offer some advice if you got to a point where you were able to stablize your weight.
I am very busy. I work full time, and I have five children- aged 16-3. I know that more often than not, I do not get enough sleep, and this is a factor. But, there is nothing that I can do about that right now.
I am SOOOO sick of always needing to lose 10 pounds! I am a certified fitness instructor, and I have been working out for almost 30 years! The working out part is easy for me. The eating part is tough. I have read every book, tried every plan, and continue to do so...
I am mostly vegetarian, and the low carb for me consists of a lot of eggs and veggies. I have gotten to a point that when I veer off course, it doesn't take much at all to gain a few pounds QUICKLY!
Ideally, I would love for Cathe to share what she eats in a typical day, including calories, but I am not certain that she would feel comfortable doing so. I completely understand this.
Is there anyone who would be comfortable sharing this info with me? A typical day of eating that works for you. I know that we are all different and have to learn on our own. I feel that this forum has the most educated people when it comes to health and fitness. I appreiate your time.
Thank you!!
