Just stopping in to say "hey" and welcome to colorgirl.
It's been a crazy weekend so I just now got to come read the posts.
I went to Whole Foods last night and stocked up on gluten-free items like rice tortillas, corn thins and rice snaps, etc.
It's over an hour from here so I can't get there very easily. I might check out Trader Joes next time. It's about as far as WF, but easier to get to I think.
So, Tiffany, you think just following The Program alone will work ok? I checked out all of the other books, but it is a little overwhelming trying to sort through it all.
It'd be great if I could just focus on one book and I think the consensus is the The Program has all the up-to-date info in it.
Colorgirl ~ I hear you about the exercise. I'm trying not to overwhelm myself with that, but I do feel like I need to do "something".
My DH and I had started Bob Green's 12 week program at one point. I think we'll go back to that for now since it starts out really slowly. It's 15 min of cardio (or to tolerance) and then what he calls functional exercises and stretches plus a few basic toning exercises like bicep curls, lunges and squats.
I'd like to get back into T-Tapp though and today someone else was telling me about rebounding. (although I think it's mainly cardio) Plus I love DDR! lol
Do either of you guys know waht Dr. S means by adaptive exercises?
I was worrying about doing everything just right (still working on that actually) and I had to realize that just the simple act of cutting out the junk and improving the quality of the foods I eat is going to make a huge difference in my health. Then I can learn the rest as I go.
So: Focus this week for me is making sure to eat 3 meals comprised of a protein, real carb, non-starchy vegetables and healthy fats. Add in 2 snacks that have at least a protein and healthy carb.
I want to incorporate this WOE into my life without it being a big deal and I want to make it easy to do while working and/or traveling. (basically for whatever situation I find myself in)
I'm also planning to figure out what supplements to buy next payday!
I have a good multi, CLA and GLA already on hand. I may go ahead and splurge for some natural calm, adrenal support and a b-12 complex though. Those are some that I know I'll need and I've ordered them from the T-Tapp store before, so I have confidence in the brands, etc.
I'm so glad you guys are here. It helps so much to have ppl to talk to!
I'm all ears for any insight you guys have on exercise, supplements, this WOE, anything!!!
Man! This sure turned out longer than I planned when I started!!! Sorry guys ~
