I forgot to say thank you for the tips Danielle...I am trying to add more protein and eat slower ( I seem to do better at this if I eat BEFORE I get really hungry)
Interesting - I totally replaced cigarettes with food. I honestly believe that I could not have focussed on healthy eating AND quitting at the same time. After gaining 10 lbs (5 was in one week), I had one night in bed where I had a total pity party and contemplated liposuction. Since then, I've become obsessed with learning more about healthy food and exercise. I'm exercising more AND I have way more energy to do it. Today I ran for 30 mins on the treadmill...when I smoked I probably couldn't do more than 5.
I still can't figure out why everybody isn't HUGE in this world. I went to the grocery store and loaded up on fruits and veggies while everybody else had white bread, hamburger, potato chips, etc. (If you see some strange lady going through your shopping cart, it's probably me)
Anyway.......today stats - Weight 155 (3 more lbs to go and I will weigh the same as I did when I quit)
1495 calories (counting my smoothie tonight)
52.7 % carbs
27.7 % fats
19.7 % protein
Oh yeah....45 mins treadmill, 5 mins stair machine, 10 mins bicycle and about 10 mins weight training.......
A GOOD GIRL TODAY!!
