Well this morning I have made plans to start back on my diet
To get back on track... My plan is a bit different than most as I have said, I am a gastric bypass gal so when I drop a few pounds, well I do it differently
I am 2 years out so I DO EAT and I DO GAIN WEIGHT. I have put on 8 pounds from my lowest weight after surgery. I never made it to my personal goal of 120 and I am bound and determined to do so before our trip this summer!!! I will be in a bathing suit at the GF for gosh darn sakes
I don't need any flubber protruding from the suit
My goal is to drop 15lbs before June 14. I know it can be done... and it might be easier for me than for some but well... dieting stinks no matter how you look at it
I am sipping on one of my protein shakes as I am typing this YUMMY!
Believe it or not, there are some really good protein shakes out there and others you can doctor up to taste yummy.
My goal is 100 grams of protein, under 30 grams of crabs.
To do this I will be on a liquid diet of yummy protein drinks and my vitamin suppliments from my docs.
My Matrix hot chocolate protein mix has 23 grams of protein so I will have 5 of those today. I usually add it to a cup of coffee instead of water to make a yummy latte. I have about 20 protein mixes here at the house to choose from but they have about the same protein exchange as matrix so I am just using that as a guide. With that in place I will have 115 grams of protein and 15 grams of carbs. PERFECT if I can stay away from the kitchen and grazing like a cow
#####please note I am under a docs care for this plan. It is a plan I have used many times since my surgery. The shakes and vits that I take all make sure I get the stuff I need to stay healthy. These aren't your regular shakes that you pic up from walmart
nor are my vits. I do not endorse anyone who has not had the surgery or know what they are doing to attempt my plan... heck who wants to be on an all liquid diet anyway?!######
I just had a few people ask me what I eat and all that good jazz so I thought I would post my new plan and goal on my TR.
If your looking to lose weight fit day . com is a wonderful website that helps you keep track of everything you put in your mouth.
I bought their program and it is wonderful keeping me on track. If you are looking at dieting I highly suggest checking it out
Now with my diet in place lets talk about work outs
my goal is cardio 60 minutes 3x a week
strenght training 60 minutes 1x a week
I belong to a gym and had a personal trainer for a long time...don't need her anymore as I know what to do. I prefer 1 really long HARD strenght training session and let my muscles heal the week.
Anyway those are my goals
wish me luck!
