RE: Brieeeee!!!
Shopaholic...you are so sweet to say that you are impressed by my workouts and diet...BUT you can't be too impressed...I think I only got in two workouts last week :7 :7 :7 :7 . On the other hand my diet has been great and I hope I can get this weight off soon. This week has been good and I'm so sore today that I think I may take a rest day tomorrow. Yippee
Melanie...I have the whole IS series on VHS, but I'd love to be able to mix IMAX II around and also PUB, PLB. I taped PLB and PUB stability ball stuff on another tape so I can just do the stability ball stuff after my S&H legs or PUB abs after any other workout. BUT wouldn't DVD be nice!!! Like I said I can't figure out how to break it up, I know you wouldn't want two terminator DVD's, but maybe we could sell it on ebay, but then again, you would want C&W and probably IMAX II...I'll have to think about what could be done. You want to move closer and we could share it???? he he

Runathon, got your email, but I don't know if I'm the person to dictate diet. I might be pretty wimpy in many areas (and I AM), but I have loads of will power in the area of diet. I once worked at Baskin Robbins (when I was like 14) and I never had a drop of icecream the entire time I worked there or so much as licked my fingers. I probably have OCD and don't know it (or care, I hate all those terms).
Right now I get up and work out and then have a shake consisting of
3/4 cup V8 Diet tropical (mango or something - it's orange and lo carb), 1/2 cup homemade plain yogurt, 2 tblsp ground flax seed, 1 frozen banana, 1/4 cup coconut milk, and 1 scoop of powdered protein - any plain flavor will do your choice whey, soy, whatever by it's about 22 grams of protein. Sometimes I don't get this made until 11 or 12 in the morning (noon). Then I sometimes eat some sesame balls which are high protein low carb if I'm feeling snacky. Late afternoon I make a huge salad with raw everything, brocolli, tomatoes, cukes, you can add turkey on top for protein, avocado, etc. I use dressing, I do not use low fat (Newman's olive oil and vinegar is usually the choice). Sometimes I have a protein bar, but usually not, maybe 5 per month. At night we always make shakes for the kids and I have some of that, consisting of 6 eggs from our chickens (no salmonilla), raw milk, 3 bananas, crushed ice, nutmeg, vanilla, this makes many glasses and I have one probably 12 oz. I was completely vegan until I started to add in raw milk, homeade yogurt, and raw eggs and once in a blue moon turkey. I think I needed these for the heavy lifting, my body was slowing wasting without it. I am cutting out almost all carbs in the form of bread, if I really want something I eat lo/high cereal that is lo carb and high protein with raw milk or soy milk.
I am not a chocolate fan and probably haven't had a candy bar in my entire married life, but if I have a downfall (craving) it's a plain glazed donut and I have had one of those in the past month. Actually DH was so sweet he found a pack on a discount rack and picked it up for me, but I ate one and threw the rest out, so I wouldn't be tempted. Once you give up candy and sweets, the craving leaves you after a long time. If I start eating many sweets...I start to crave them again - primarily like donuts and carbs. So better off to just stay away from them. Don't know if this will help. I look at diet like alocoholism and I know others who go for moderation, but I just can't. If I start eating a bag of chips....I will ALWAYS finish it, I could never eat a few that would be torture. So you can look at it as I have very little will power (which I think is true) or I have a lot, but can't touch any of it.
Boy did I get long winded....sorry,
Briee
) but the others are good too. All three are super long though, and not really new-mommy friendly.
