Here is a day in the life of me:
Breakfast:
2-3 eggs or turkey patty
with 2 slices of bacon
or 2 pieces of sausage
Lunch:
chicken salad with mayo only
2 spears of dill pickle
1.5 cups of lettuce
1/4 of Avocado
or
chicken with mayo- 2 tsp.
with 2 cups of salad- consisting mostly of lettuce and a couple green olives, few slices of cucumber and maybe a slice of tomato
homemade dressing
Snack
couple of slices of turkey
1-2 slices of cheese or cream cheese
Dinner
1 cup of veggies with butter
fish
or
chicken
or turkey
On the days I have a bigger salad at lunch, I make sure my dinner reflects this in the way of carbs and vice versa.
I drink maybe 1 cup of black coffee a day. not all days, but most.
I'm an avid exerciser with running(3x/week)- training for a marathon, crossfit(1-2x/week) and I do olympic style weightlifting(1-2x a week) and I drink a ton of water(at least 64oz) plus carbonated water- plain, no flavor and herbal teas....
Here is the thing, I'm not losing weight. I've not been on for a month yet, so I haven't taken my measurements, but my clothes don't feel all that loose to me and the scale isn't really budging. I had lost the first week I was on then hit my TOM which caused me to gain it all back. I didn't worry of corse because it was my TOM and I knew that was no reason to fret. But since then, my scale hasn't gone back down. it jumps around the same two pounds and that is about it.
I'm wondering if I actually have to add more veggies to accommodate my workout schedule. I'm in this way of life regardless. It is the easiest thing I've ever done and I feel great. But really, I have 40+ pounds to lose....
So, what are your thoughts??? I'd be totally interested.
I have the book and I'm on a very small dose of thyroid meds.
I think I've addressed most of the issues.
I appreciate your help.
not sure why I put this in, but I saw spam and thought, YES!
