Setting Goals and Watching Carbs!
Feb 02, 2011
So I normally don't write two blog entries this close together but I am seeing a new trend in the last few weeks. Carbs have been in my diet alot again. Now I know we are not supposed to say food is good or bad but I do have a bit of a history that got me to 362lbs in the first place and unhealthy carbs had a part in getting me there. I personally do not have a problem with incorporating healthy carbs in somewhat but I soon find I begin to have blurry lines about what I want and what I need. Also I am still trying to figure out what works for me and my sleeve. I also want more carbs as I eat more which is very common and my weightloss may slow down. I know for a fact my calories are a bit higher than most at this stage in the game. I would say over a 1000 for sure but am not positive how much over. I should be tracking better just for my peace of mine. That all being said my weightloss so far seems fine still. I was down 75lbs by the end of January which is what i had hoped for and set a small goal for. It didn't look like it was going to happen and then I took a couple of days and layed the protein to me and ate more than usual(of protein), including two shakes at 30g each and my weight seemed to drop fast that week(down 4lbs) to reach my goal of 75! I do not exercise yet as my weightloss has been great without it. I have no problem with exercising though and am dreaming of when I can bike and jog again. I am actually really hoping for summer to be able to do this. We will see how it goes. I will get out walking again when the weather gets a bit nicer. I am wondering if my lack of hairloss may have to do with my higher calorie intake or if I am just one of the blessed ones. It hasn't happened so far anyway, mind you I am just over 3 months out and some peoples start about now. We will see and hope it doesn't happen as I already have thinner hair in front from hypothyroidism or obesity who would know. Sorry for all the rambling but I had many thoughts to write and think about and I will keep you posted on the carb thing. I have been experimenting abit with the resistant carbs that our bodies do not digest just to see if it really does speed up fat burning or if it is a myth. I have been eating a banana a day (4.3g of resistant starch) amongst other things to see if it makes a difference. Once again i do not like feeling like I have to get in all of this food and it does add up in terms of calories so we will see how that experiment goes. Til next time, blessings Trish!
