Oops! Caught.
Yes, my journal has taken a back seat lately. I haven't been experiencing the exhaustion so I guess I have come to a good point. I do take L-Glutamine but not as regularly as I take my vitamins (I am working on that). My appetite has been decreasing of late and I keep wondering how on earth I am supposed to eat 5 cups of broccoli to meat my carb requirements from vegetables. I don't really eat fruit and I must confess that I am terrified of eating too many carbs. This WOE makes me feel great and I don't want to blow it. If you are curious a daily menu is something like this:
Breakfast 1: mock danish with T of sugar free Jelly
Breakfast 2: Protein shake or sunflowers seeds or a few oz of protein
Lunch 1: 1-2 cups of broccoli with 1-2 oz of cheese
Lunch 2: 2-3 chicken thighs
Dinner: 4 oz of steak with 1 cup of broccoli
I haven't managed that last dinner yet. By the end of the day I am stuffed and I don't really want dinner at all. Lunch tends to be my main thing (it's when I am hungriest). I am eating when I am hungry and I actually get hungry about every 2-3 hours. The problem is that I eat a bite or two and fill up.
I keep reading that I should have more carbs and I just don't know where to get them from.
Anyway, my work out is doing well. I spent the first two months getting re-aquainted with the gym. I even hired a trainer, but I haven't been pleased with my results lately and what to try something different and challanging (well part of that is because my trainer said I needed to stop weight training 3 days a week and focus on cardio to lose fat). I like BFL and it suits my schedule and me.
Sorry to ramble on and I appreciate your response. I just hate that I have been doing BFL wrong. Oh well, live and learn. Tomorrow is LBWO so I will make the proper adjustments.
