Good Morning everyone!!
With my recent gain I've regrouped and am doing some reality checks. I'm pretty sure that my recent gain is due to the imbalance of my choices.
Yesterday I bought the Prevention Biggest Loser Weight Loss Planner. Well I can say that I now understand a little more about how much carbs, fats and Proteins I should be eating. But I still couldn't quite understand so I took this morning to plan out my daily menu for the day while watching for a neat 45% carb, 30% Protein and 25% Fat.
This isn't easy If you don't believe me try it. It's one thing to enter food but it's another to sit and try and figure out a day where everything equals out evenly.. BAHAHAHA or close to it.
I can plainly see how much extra Carbs I was eating. After doing my plan for today I realize that I was doing pretty bad cuz normally I ate A LOT more then that.. As I said before it's trial and error.. I'll error a lot before I get it right.. And that's okay. I spent the last 20 yrs getting it wrong I sure as hell can spend some time trying to get it right!!
I'll be traveling today. Going to go get my brother who hurt himself while away at work. Only a 3hr there and a 3 hour back drive.. WOOOHOOO??? lol I'm a good little sister I'm a good little sister.. haha.. Actually I missed him and I'm glad he's coming home.. :D
I'm going to pack my lunch and snacks with me.. :D Lets see if Preplanning can get me back on track.. :D

I try not to give advice too much, as I am still learning too. If your going with all white carbs, try to switch to brown i.e., brown rice, wheat bread (I eat Oat bran, don't like wheat). I found these Pepperidge Farm whole wheat deli flats that are really good and only 100 calories each. I make a roast beef & onion sandwich out of them. I spray I Can't Believe It's Not Butter on both sides and grill them, like a grilled cheese,yummy. Whole wheats and whole grains will keep you full longer. Carbs just change to sugar in your system and you don't stay full. Exercise is key. I hate to harp on that, but it's so true. Even just 15 minutes of walking. Park farther away than usual, take the steps... all that adds up. Buy a pedometer and shoot for 8,000-10,000 steps a day. It becomes a challenge to do it! Sorry rambling on and on LOL. :)
