Today is a better day
One step at a time. Thank you to everyone for your kind words yesterday and encouragement! wow that made me feel so much better to know that I wasnt alone in this world that can be on consuming with being "perfect". I woke up today, discouraged at the scale. But I am vowing to not worry about it so much and maybe start checking my bodyfat. Its just so frustrating all of last week, I lifted 4 days a week, an increase in what i was doing before, cardio for 6 days. And I gain 2.5 pounds what the HELL!!!! I cant have that much muscle. I have no prob going to the gym at all or eating healthy food. I used to be a veg head so I can eat mass amounts of vegetables and not blink an eye. I guess my prob is meal planning and timing. I get sick and tired of having to make and eat tons of foood. That is where I get so frustrated. I just made a crap load of chicken on saturday, a big fosters chicken breasts pack from costco. I have 5 lunches made, I had 2 meals yesterday, plus husband had a meal, and dinner today, there is only 4 breasts left how is that possible! How in the world do people keep up, being a vegetarian was easier than having to make tons of chicken. I hate seafood so that whole food group is out, which really sucks, I wish I liked salmon, tuna, or any type of fish. Darn!
Anyways! Sorry about my chicken rant. At least I had a really good workout today. Ive been blasting through them with help from this stuff I just bought. Its called Torque by Body Fuel, similar to No Explode. It felt so good, I pumped through my workout. Iweigh 134.5 pounds, tons of people here lift weights and weigh less, so I dont understand that my muslce could weigh that much. I really want to get down to 120 pounds, I feel like it will never happen, Ive been perpetually stuck in the 30’s for almost 2 years now. People please advise my diet!!! Err im so frustrated right now.

The trick is to pre measure your meat and seperate it. I put mine in cheap sandwich bags because i use them so quick. Freeze them! I make my family meal and take mine out of the freezer. I also learned to drink the egg beaters (whites only) If I bioled a whole 2 dozen, I swear everytime I got ready to eat they would be gone! .. And maybe you gained the weight in muscle. Muscle weight more and is small in size. Dont go by the scales when you weight train but by how your clothes feel…By the way, I have two little boys and a grown boy as well (husband..he he) Thay can eat!
