Day 13
July 19, 2008all i can say is TIRED!!!!! The leg workout from 2 days ago is really kickin my ass today! I was sleepy tired all day yesterday and i couldnt figure out why…..i guess it was my body saying my workout kicked my ass before the pain even showed up…how weird…….i guess the body knows more than the brain does lol
Day 11
July 17, 2008Today i had a killer workout! Probably because I have been eating a decent amount of calories and not overworking myself. It felt soooo good…from all the overtraining and undereating..i had forgotten why I loved working out sooo much. Its amazing how no matter how far you have fallen from where you once were…you seem to find your way back like you never left…hahaha if you know what im talking about anyway. off to school!
day 10
July 17, 2008(yesterday.) ran 20 minutes and felt pretty damn tired afterwards…probably cuz i took a week off?
calories ended at 1950 at 40/20/20
Day 9
July 15, 2008closed out at 40/40/20 @ 2k…..did upper body training.
Today was a good day……i am not hungry for once and feel good especially b ecause I am back in the gym…i really love the gym………before i started starving…….life is good…for the moment =-)
day 8
July 14, 2008So i nixed the anabolic diet because i figured I am trying to have balance…i might as well eat a balanced diet…duh so today started as no carb but mid day turned into just healthy
counts 97f 151c 27 fiber 143 p
jog/walk 20 min
Day 7
July 14, 2008Today I am starting the Anabolic diet..i have had much success with it in the past….but I used to fall off when sugar was introduced on carb days. I have been clean from sugar and alcohol for a week in preparation so i am not really craving those things………..i cant have them because they really throw me off the edge…. sooo for 2 weeks NO CARBS at all to get me into mode and then when i do carb load weekends only non sugar carbs…even white bread I can handle..but plain sugar like ice cream is a major no no for me for sure. Crossing my fingers……….so imma stick to around 2k cals of fats and protein. wish me luck.
thanks !
Day 6 in recovery
July 13, 2008So check it out everyone. I am going to put myself out there for some advice. I have been a member here for a while and alot of you already know me. I havent been active lately because I gave up. My weight has always been a battle….i used to eat 1500 cals a day and work out 2 to 3 hours a day mostly cardio…then after losing weight and gaining it back the minute I ate i started lifting weights and doing less cardio. Over the years I have transformed into doing mostly weights and moderate cardio. Which has helped me alot physically. But the thing is….about 8 months ago I got a job at a hospital which is very laborous. I do stock about 6 hours a day and run the floors of the hospital about 5-8 miles a day. Then I would go str8 to the gym and lift and then run 5 miles. I did start eating a little more..1800 cals. But even at 1800 i would get sooo hungry that I had no energy to play with my son or even take a shower. Needless to say…about January i started to get so hungry i would binge and then throw up..binge throw up…over and over and it is a progressive disease. Now heres the kicker….to me eating 3000 calories is a binge which is why i would throw up……..im sure i have binged on more than 3k at times….but just the thought of eating 1 extra piece of bread made me feel like my whole day was ruined so i would throw up. At this moment I am trying desperatley to recover. I am going to therapy and have taken a whole week off from the gym. I think the years of hard working out and not eating enogh cals for my workouts has taken its toll. I havent had a period in 8 months now. The horrible thing is ive gained 10 pounds because I havent let myself throw up…at the same time I havent binged like i would if i was going to throw up….anyway……
I am asking you all to let me know what you think………..I want to tell myself if i am hungry i can eat but its so hard to break that mental block because the minute i eat more than 1700 or 1800 i blow up…..at the same time i know its because my body was starved……although society tells me eating more than 1500 cals a day is eating too much……
so weights 3 x a week….running 3 x a week 30 minutes and hard labor job 5 days a week (walking 5-8 miles a day + lifting over 30 pound boxes) for 6 hours……cals? anyone…..it seems the 100 pound girls eat 2500 and the heavier people eat 1500…im so confused.
its been a week since ive thrown up…..im trying to eat and not think about it but its hard.
I am soooooooooooooooo tired!
February 26, 2008maybe cuz i only had 5 hours or 6 hours sleep? iono. I usually dont feel THIS exhausted tho. Maybe the no carb is finally getting to me =-(
Day uhhh 4? i think
February 22, 2008So I just started the AD/Keto again. I am trying to eat 1700 cal 113F 140p 30c…..but I get sooooo hungry on this. I have been eating between 1850-2000 each day….if i dont i get soo sick and tired i feel as though I will pass out and i can feel my stomach eating itself. If the AD/Keto is supposed to suppress appetite it aint working so well for me. I will give it a couple weeks..it ONLY has been 4 days! I cant wait for my appetite to be nothing………..ive never NOT had an appetite my whole life! hahahahaha. Maybe I am destined to be a fat ass…..as so eloquently stated by someone on this site..hahahahha. Appetite suppressants only make me HUNGRIER so i dont take em. Maybe its because I am more active than MOST? I walk 8-10 miles a day at the hospital (4 days a week)…do 30 min cardio 3x week and lift 3x week. COme to think of it…..back when i was over 150 i ate 1400-1500 cals..did cardio 45-60 min a day 5 days a week and lifted 4 days a week. Maybe my bodies telling me to eat more? shit iono! it just scares me when im only 5′4" 140 and a man weighing 190 @ 6 ft tall says he eats 2000 cals a day. EVEN the website by the USDA says I should eat 2000 to LOSE weight. why oh why do you big men have to throw a wrench in my diet? LOL make me think im a fatty fat fat for eating what you do!?
Im done ranting…..im going to make a goal of 1800 cals today….then tommorrow 1750….then 1700……..let me see if i can stick with that. day by day. day by day.
