Today's cheatday is making me sleepy.
Week 5 complete. Weight is back down 1 lb and 1 inch was lost. Feeling like I'm in a bit of a lull, but I'm sure it will pass soon.
Having a kind of ridiculously hungry day. Time for more water.
Re: My Slow Carb Flickr
I've done this off and on for a couple of years now. I use my phone to take a picture of my food and post it to a blog every time I eat. Of course I'm pretty much the only one who ever looks at th...
My current thinking is that I'll probably aim to split the difference and see how it looks/feels to go 5-7 lbs. under the weight that was recommen...
Thanks! Well, the first is realizing that I really do have a lot of muscle, especially for a woman of my height. The second, and you'll see thi...
Re: My 1st DEXA scan tomorrow!
Yay! I hope you get the kinds of numbers that won't drive you nuts. (I'm only just now getting my head wrapped around my results.)
Re: What is your workout?
I'm a yoga person. I do power vinyasa in a heated studio 6 days a week, with classes that vary between an hour and an hour and a half. Beyond that, I just added kettlebell swings this week. Today...
another update: Decided that I was done being out and about, so I stopped by the grocery store and bought a frozen gluten-free pizza (to which I a...
update: Hit up a conveyor belt sushi joint instead. Ate many, many things. It was awesome. Ended up following that up with a visit to a record sto...
Week 4 on the SCD complete, with mixed results. Scale is up 2 lbs, but dropped 1.75 inches.
Re: Only a cheat treat tomorrow
If you're only going to allow yourself a single cheat treat tomorrow, why don't you let it be an actual treat? If chocolate is what you're craving, have some chocolate.
Re: Tomorrow is cheat day :)
Sushi! And lots of it. I'm hitting a sushi buffet for lunch tomorrow after my late morning Power Vinyasa Yoga class. I'll follow that with either a movie and some popcorn, or a walk through the O...
Re: Member intro: Slow Carb Sandwiches
No corn tortillas and no cheese. Also, all of the tabouleh I've ever encountered is made with bulgur. Drop that as well. If you really want a "sandwich" or wrap of some kind, you can wr...
I wouldn't put a ton of stock into a calculation of lean body mass based on nothing more than gender, height and weight. When I plug my info into ...
Oh, I also meant to mention that the discounted rate is a 3-pack, usable for a year and a half, at $80 per scan. That's the route I went. So, it w...
I have my numbers. I'm still looking over the report, but the upshot is that what they're recommending as my ideal weight is 10-15 more than I wha...
Re: Why do I feel like crap after 4 days on the Slow Carb Diet?
Are your carbs lower now (even with the beans) than they were before? You could just be adjusting to a lower carb level. Also, your body may need a little more time to adjust to the likely increas...
I've scheduled a scan for Monday. Woohoo! I'm so curious and excited to see some numbers. As a lifelong somewhat muscle-y fat girl, I've always be...
Re: DEXA (For those in the Pacific NW)
Thanks for posting this. I've been having a hard time finding a place to get body comp measurements done in/around Seattle. Now I just need to find/make time to get over there for an appointment!
Give a warm welcome to me!
Re: Not losing enought weight
Plenty of people have mentioned that you're probably not getting enough protein, so I won't harp on that. If you're getting sick of chicken, try something else. Beef? Tuna? I find that a can of tu...
