Weight: 233.5 Still haven't exercised in while. Cold front come through yesterday so I won't be outside (what a whuss...someone please tell me correct spelling if there is one)and I just can't get motivated to go lift weights.
While I am having less and less respect for Barbara Walters these days, I did find this interesting. I take a antioxidant product called Resvinatrol as a liquid. I'm searching for an even more concentrated source of Resveratrol. View and make up your own mind.
May God's will be done in all things . If it's time for you to go you will go. But there is no reason not to feel better while we're here.
Lunch: Chicken breast and less than 1/2 cup of rice in some kid of concoction my wife made. Dr. Pepper
Dinner: Two hot dogs with mustard and one wiener. That's three wieners. Not a good day for the ole weight loss program. Oh well, there are days like this. One just tries to get through them without totally throwing good judgment out the window. There is always tomorrow to do a better job.
"Anonymous" left me a comment that they had lost their job and they went on a binge. That's perfectly ok. Just as you are not going to lose a lot of fat in a day or two you are not going to gain a lot of fat in a day or two. Please note I say "fat". I didn't say weight. There are a lot of things other than just fat that affect your weight. I've discussed those in earlier post. The important thing is to not get discouraged and give up on your weight management for an extended period of time. As soon as you can get back with the program. Here's a few things to do to get you through these type days.
Include a little more chocolate (preferably plain cocoa or 82 % cocoa chocolate bars not milk chocolate), oats, bananas, mangoes, dried dates, yogurt, cottage cheese, red meat, eggs, fish, poultry, sesame, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, spirulina, peanuts and a lot more turkey and milk in your diet. If you have reduced your carbs add a few more back for a few days . Try to include more foods that contain omega3 like salmon, mackerel, sardines. Take an omega3 supplement-about a 1000mg a day. The first group of foods above especially milk and turkey contain high amounts of the protein Trytophan which is a precursor to Serotonin. Serotonin helps prevent depression and is the precursor to melatonin which helps us sleep. The carbs will raise the blood sugar a little, which improves the mood a bit. However try to consume low glycemic carbs so you don't through peaks and valleys of blood sugar and resulting mood swings. The omega 3 foods will help with mood. Since they are fats they will satisfy the hunger and omega 3 is the good fat. These foods will help you get through these periods of "emotional eating" with less damage to the waistline.
Lastly try motivate yourself to get some moderate exercise. This will help a lot with your mood and if you do eat more it will offset some of the extra calories.
I hope all my readers will keep "Anonymous" in your prayers. All things are possible through good. Many times loss of one job opens an opportunity for a better one. One that you would have not found if you were not looking.
