Hey Guys, November has started!

Oh yeah, And I'm purchasing a whole case of losingjusme's atkins caramel latte shakes...

you go JM! GOod plan. I hate counting all that crap too.

SO every few weeks i will keep track on fitday.com for a few days just to see.

My DOc/surgeon doesnt even want me counting calroeis! he said the whole point of the band was to get me to eat like a normal weight person, he said look at a heathly normal weight person, do they count calories? nope, yet they maintain a good BMI.

Now, do you just eat until your full, or do you watch your carb intake, calorie intake, or both?

None! He wants me to listern to my body not track a bunch of numbers . He wants me to get away from all those numbers. Eat sensible foods one with low calrioe desinty. in other words a 1000 calories of candy bars would not look like much in your hand but lets say 1000 cals of chicken of 1000 of vegtables you wouldnt even be able to hold in your hands.

He wants to liberate us from tracking everything.

Good way of thinking....

when the band is in its sweet spot i should not need to track calories and carbs and protein. go for the protein foods first but he says there is no way ANYONE can eat 50-60 grams of protein and 64 oz of water with out feeling like a prisnor!

He said there is pretty much almost no cases of someone with a band being protein defincent!

Well, to be honest, I'm not so sure I'm at my sweet spot, but if the doc fills me up any more, even just 1cc, I can't hold down liquids, so I end up where I am, 2.0ccs in my 4cc band. But I also feel like I'm eating easy foods, instead of protein dense foods, then veggies, etc.

funny how chocolatte never gets stuck or makes you feel full.

Walked to & from the gym: 3.45 mi., 35 min.

Elliptical: 7.27 mi., 90 min.

Wt. Training: 35 min.

Treadmill: 2.6 mi., 30 min.

I won't be posting my exercises for a few days as I'll be pulling some 12-hour shifts and trying to squeeze in some exercise and still be able to get some sleep. I post my exercises Sunday when I'm off.

jm-Good Luck with the "food overhaul". I know you can do it! :hungry:

Okay Di, we'd like to know about the date.

I was lazy this morning, but I do plan to take that 30 min walk when I get home.

Tooth feels much better today, took medicine and I think I'll live.

I agree with trying to get 50grams of protein, it's almost next to impossible for me. I have a hard time getting the veggies as well. I'm good with the H2O however.

Di is not going on a date till Friday (kind of scary i know this).

THat means we might have to wait till monday to see how it went ahhhhhhhhhhh. i cant wait that long

Ok, week 3 workout ?, I could only do half again. I'm thinking about stepping backwards to week 2 and starting again from there. 1hr with personal trainer (upper body).

My bf talks about that all the time. I don't know how you can carry on a conversation when you're both naked. It has to be a guy thing....I don't get it.
