Ok, so something weird has been going on. I can only think it is being of either all of the vitamins/suppliments I am taking (one multivitamin, 2 calcium tablets,and 2-3 omega 3/6/9 tablets), my birth control, or the phentermine. I have always had this thing where i can not stand (almost like a phobia) rotten food. I know, no one really likes the smell or sight of it, but I like flip out and start crying and gagging and i think i am going to throw up. Anyways, so lately i've been getting those same kind of nausious feelings just with regular food. If i think about it or smell it I just feel like i am going to vomit. Things that I use to really like eating, like cottage cheese, yogurt, spinach, and berries have been doing it to me. I don't even know how to describe it. Anyways, I was eating breakfast this morning and my dad brings out a bowl of cottage cheese and i take one look at it and i had to run to the bathroom and throw up. When I came back to the table i was totally fine. I talked to my mom about it and she says that is how you feel when you are preggo and have morning sickness. Now my mom thinks I am pregnant. Anyways, I am assuming it is the multivitamin (because i take calcium and multivitamin during breakfast and then my b/c and phen after breakfast) and my body is just having a hard time processing all of the vitamins all at once.... but who knows.
Ok, I totally overdid it last night. My parents went out of town last night so I had a little "get together" at the house. I logged onto Dailyplate this morning and tracked everything that I ate and drank (from what I can recall lol) and I just went totally out of my calorie range. I ended up having 2600 calories yesterday! It could have been worse.... but that is pretty bad. I am really proud of myself though for tracking what I did. Today is my friend's birthday party, we are having a BBQ for her. I was planning on having a few beers, but I think I am just going to have to use my will power and say no all together to them (a "few" beers at a party always ends up being 4 or 5 for me). My goal for today is to do some kind of physical activity before the BBQ. I think I am just going to walk down to the tanning salon and then walk back (it's only about 2 miles, but at least it is something). I just can't find the motivation to go back to the gym... I think i am scared of it or something.
I really need to get some more protein into my diet. I think that I get enough, but everything I eat that has protein in it either has a bunch of carbs (nonfat milk and cottage cheese) or a bunch of fat (peanut butter and nuts) so my carb:protein:fat ratio is off. I've been getting about 60-20-20 instead of 40-30-30. I really need to start cooking my own meals again and eating "real" food instead of protein bars and slim fasts and "meal subsitiutes" all day.
So I ate pretty well today and I swam with the kids during swim lessons (I usually teach from outside of the water, but I figure if I get in and at least swim around a little bit it will be an extra calorie burn) and when I was guarding I swam laps during my break. I hate the pool I work at though because they keep it at 86 degrees! It's gross, it's refreshing like the first second you jump in it, but when you start doing laps or moving around in it is just way too hot. I was only able to do 300 meters before I stopped and decided to practice doing flips off the diving board instead. Anyways, I have 702 calories left for my daily allowence and I am going out for sushi with the girls so I plan on eating and drinking (sake bombs all around haha) all of them
yay :) I just weighed myself this morning. I have been on phentermine for one week and I lost 4 and a half pounds which I am super excited about. My goal for this week is to lose at least 3 lbs. I think I can easily do it if I start journaling my food and focus more on my nutrition. My carb/protein/fat ratio goal is 40:30:30 with less refined carbs and more healthy fats. I also want to get more exercise in. I am going to try to walk more and swim on my breaks at work.
So I have been on phentermine for a week now (my official weigh in is tomorrow morning) and I think it's gone pretty well. I know that I am eating less, but I want to start tracking my calories and focus on my nutrition too again. I made an account on Dailyplate.com so i'll journal all my food on there.
Today I ate 1,235 calories. 61% carbs, 21% protein, and 17% fat
ugh omg it is so unbelievably hot right now, and it will be this way all week. I almost died at work today, even under the umbrella it was burning hot. The pool was so busy because everyone wanted to swim, it was awful. I have a horrible head ache too :(
ok so i did not do my BFL work out.... BUT I did walk to work and home from work. Total it was about 6-7 miles and lots of hills. Eating went well kind of, I had one oat bran pancake and a few pieces of papaya for breakfast, and apple and 2 protein waters at work, 1/2 cookie when i got home, and one piece of veggie pizza for dinner.
hey guys and girls, what a bright and sunshiney day it is today. Just wanted to check in and say hello before I go to work. I am going to start doing my BFL work outs again starting tomorrow. I know that I have just been putting it off and making excuses of why I can't go. I am going to bring all of my work out stuff to work with me, that way I can just go straight from the pool to the gym..... it will just be like an extention of my work day.
So today is my 3rd day on phentermine. It is sooooooo weird! I feel exactly the same as I always do (if not better) but I am just not hungry. It's like I don't even think about it, i have to remind myself to eat or else I won't do it lol. It is craziness. I do need to start working out again though, I just have to find the time...
