OK friends this week is still busy busy but I have a few minutes to hang with yas. Last week was crazy and this week not much better.

Monday-ran around ALL day then had preschool graduation (just paper hats no gowns over here) and dinner out after
Tuesday-here all day cleaning and the such while they installed the million dollar HVAC stuff then doc appointment for 9yo.
Wednesday-Hang with the preschoolers to give the other mom a break...next Wednesday is my break
Thursday-Amusement park time guess guess I should renew our passes.
Friday-Give blood and breathe a little maybe!

Big kids have school until next Thursday then it's pool time! 'Cept not sure about that bikini just yet blerg. Going to join Lori and Andrea's therapy group soon I think

Did a mini refeed yesterday...200gs of carbs pancakes for dinner wut wut! Scale is up a bit today if it's not gone by Friday or Saturday then I'm done with refeeds and will just cut cals. Last week did the 300g of carbs Tuesday and it dropped Saturday but I can't handle 3 days of preggo bloaty belly seems silly. I'm not SO bad today but...it's bad enough:/

Weight=137.2 which seems to be my after a bunch of carbs weight

[pharty]

Like I said up there did a mini refeed yesterday and will wait to see results and go from there.
If it takes until Saturday to whoosh then no weekly refeeds.
If it's Thursday or Friday I can hang with that and keep them in.
If not keeping them in I cut to 1600 next week and really reign in the booze. It's not too bad but it might have to go completely save for Saturdays

I'm just ticked that I'm lifting the same weights on way fewer calories and I'm still at this weight! I fear that I'm getting comfortable in the 135-137 range

This is from Saturday morning at 134.8 not flexin'
Does anyone know what they did to Flikr??


Was nakers had to crop
Flexin

At least you aren't comfortable in the 295 range.

[pharty]

Excellent point there Wyo...you make 295 sexxxy.

Maybe I'll go paleo for a bit with Boomzday.

[Stncldsnake]

Lots of red in that first session congrats and a killer session today, progress pics look awesome P!!

[Redfizz]

Woah! Your leg is super sexy!!!

[BubsNBean]

Excellent point there Wyo...you make 295 sexxxy.

Careful with going paleo, your energy will be zapped for a week or two til you're used to it. At least that's what happened to me.

[geek23ka]

your legs have those nice long and lean looking muscles. really lovely.

i started supersets bc of you. just so you know. i always admire your workouts. how do you like the skull/press superset?

i lost my first 50 pounds on paleo. i didnt get lethargic at first, but towards the end i would get these weird sluggish/low energy/hard to think or walk periods bc i got really bad about eating any carbs at all. i fall apart if i eat less than 40 grams carb a day. i decided after a while that i just didn't want to eat that way forever, but i think it's really useful for some people.

[Boomer29]

hehe! I think you will get addicted... Check my journal. I think a lot of us have grain and dairy sensitivity without knowing.

I did not have this... I incorporated a lot of fruit 3 servings a day around workouts the first two weeks. After that only one serving a day post workout. And none the last two weeks. I didn't have any energy issues and didn't take a preworkout during this period either. To each their own, maybe worth a shot to see what works for you.




Way to go super strawng PPPPP! P.S. Ain't nothing wrong with 135

[gobbles23]

Ok, so paleo + therapy group. Got it.

lol!

135 is a very good weight for your height, P!!! Doesn't look like you've got a whole lot of fat there, either You look great!!!!

Maybe I switched the wrong way Good to know it can be done without the energy depletion though!

[geek23ka]

strong this.

i knew i was lactose intolerant (can have yogurt and cheese without issue, but milk? one 8 oz glass and i am suffering from gas/bloat in a bad way), but i had no idea i was sensitive to wheat until i went paleo. it changed my life. sometimes i eat wheat (a slice of birthday cake or whatever, or breading on chicken at times) but i won't ever go back. my GERD is gone. the GERD was so bad that i used to take max dose of prilosec, eat tums like candy, sleep sitting up in bed and still wake up aspirating on my stomach contents. it doesnt happen anymore, unless i get stupid with wheat.

so yeah. changed my life.

Oh my god, really? That's me I take a 150mg zantac every morning, and one at night. I sleep upright, and still wake up with acid in the back of my throat and then I take another zantac and wake up in the mornings needing another...Plus tums all day. SIGH! My beer and yogurt.....Oh no.

Not necessarily wrong just finding what works for you... IF it does lol.

I love hearing stuff like this thanks Geek!

if you want to try it, you dont have to go paleo all the way if that doesnt appeal to you, but eliminate wheat from your diet for six weeks (even soy sauce. that means no more eating at most restaurants etc) and see if it helps. i wish you the best. gerd is terrible.

That's what confuses me- my diet is very bland to being with! Always oats/eggs/peanut butter in the mornings, protein bar mid-morning, salad and tuna sammich with cheese for lunch, cottage cheese/protein powder/granola for snack, veggies and protein (lately tofu but there's no difference between soy, eggs, or chicken in terms of how I feel afterwards) for supper, protein/milk/granola/peanut butter before bed. Going low carb during UD2 made it worse. I don't know what to eliminate, the sammich actually makes my tummy feel better than if I just eat a meat salad....So I'm not sure if it's worth it or not, but I guess I could always try it and see....but it seems like it's always bad no matter how I eat.

Sorry for the hijack P!!

[geek23ka]

well there are lots of reasons for gerd. the most common being a a malfunctioning pyloric valve along with the LES. i know i have valve malfunction, but eliminating wheat changed it from gerd to infrequent heartburn (and really i only get heartburn when i drink coffee/wine/other alcohol).

there are gluten free items you can buy. i have gluten free bread for when i'm hankering for a sandwich. they aren't as good as real bread, but they suffice. the Udi's brand is the best of the sandwich breads.

whatever is causing it, i hope it gets better. bad gerd like what we have can damage the esophageal lining and causes barrett's esophagus, which is a precursor to eso cancer. checking things out with a doc, telling him how bad it is, will probably lead him to want to investigate and possibly a script for UDCA which will help the symptoms and prevent barrett's, but does not cure the issue.

/nurse geek talk (sorry!)

[jjeane]

Okay, sorry P trying to catch up! Damn fine pull there! Screw the scale but I do hope you get your 134 back. Good luck with the a/c install. Tell them to pull a good vacuum. Seriously. It will make your system run for longer. They are really all just boxes as long as they are installed right.
Good luck with your busy week. I keep wondering if it is better or worse once school is out!

[thehobbes]

Great work on the db rows Suppa PppppPpp!!! Will try to beat those on Friday.

Holy freaking hell! I have been told for years I have this gerd thing, but I never have these heartburn symptoms you guys talk about EVER. Used to take something for it for like 3yrs because they said it would fix it, well all that did was make my stomach sick so I eventually stopped taking it. Doc knows and was like yeah whatever if it's not bothering you then don't worry about it. Interesting... and have never been a drinker of coffee or alcohol or anything with sugar so W... T... F?! Also supposedly my back teeth are erroding due to acid or something, even though I don't feel anything or have a weird taste from the acid reflux if that is what that is.

Ooo I just hijacked the hijack that was hijacking P's journal, sorry.

Pffft not really sorry, feel my glaze beatches!
