Good morning again! Back from a jog--was going to the gym, but it's actually pretty outside. Now my face is beet red!
Asalvato, I wanted to thank you for posting your spreadsheet prototype. I like what you're doing; it's scientific, and I like methodical ways of keeping track when it comes to my WOE and exercise, etc. That's why I like fitday, although many find it too much of a pain! I'm sure it's helpful to you in calculating what to eat, where you should be, and so on. I like that.
Apk: So, today is carb down to begin the week. Well, that's good. Mondays are good days for that. Good luck, and lock up all those LC treats!
Do you weigh yourself every day or just once a week?
Amethyst/Dana, today is day 2 of carb down, isn't it? How's it going? Are you hungry? Are you eating high fat, medium, or just watching carbs? You don't use fitday? Or do you? (can't remember) Good luck!
Pattilacy, CD day one--again, good day to start (
). And good luck!
Nutsnseeds, well, congratulations! Here's to seeing virgin territory within the next few days!!
Anita, you are sooo good at this. I couldn't maintain a
one-day carb up (although I did--see below) without freaking at this point. But you can manage days and days! Congrats on that--and this week may be the VT week for you!
Poto, just one thing to say to you:
WAY TO GO!!! The best news of all!
As for me, after that day of moving from 113.5 to 114, I was disgusted enough to have a cal up day (carbs at about 15 net)--hey, I wanted it, and I was too miffed to care about whether or not it was a wise thing to do. I am so &*^$ at my body---here I am, being so good, and how does it reward me? Ach, never mind.
So anyway, I weighed in this morning still at 114, so perhaps I didn't really do a lot of damage--or maybe, as Anita was musing, maybe higher cals without raising carbs doesn't do as much to the system. At any rate, I'm going to monitor this week and if I can get to 113 (man, I'm beginning to sound like the Hebrew slaves back in Moses' day: "Next year in Israel..."), then I'll try a high cal/reg. low carb day or two or three.
Have a lovely day, ladies!
