Other then that considering my week has been like a beach wave I have maintained my weight! Hadn't gained or lost anything BUT considering my week I am happy :-) Hubby is actually enjoying the fact we are heating more hearty. Poor thing eats nothing but carbs on the drill ship :-( Now to get him to jazzercise or a gym...hahaha yeah right LOL
I do have to brag a little though since I joined Mamavation I have established a lot of new friendships both here and outside of Mamavation. Plus I am inspiring people to eat better at home with their families. Now I am far from perfect bc I do have my Starbucks, Chick-Fil-A and McD's BUT I have steered away from them as often as I use to and IF I happen to HAVE to eat there I choose a leaner mean instead of my normal choices. Even the kids prefer the fruit and water or milk verses the other 'crap'.
Here is a question though to my peep...When on this diet travels has anyone encountered headaches? If so what worked to make it go away? Mine has been here for three days and well I would like it to leave :-)
I am going to conclude this blog for now...hopefully something exciting happens this week for me (in a good way) Good luck to all my Mamavation Sisters this week!!! If things look grim...look to HIM!!!

My BIGGEST goals is to workout more often and push myself instead of doing the minimum. Also I would LOVE to cut out my soda addiction as well. I have gotten better but I would like to kick it our completely.

I am opting for a partial hysterectomy myself to deal with my pain levels. I hope yours will go smoothly.
ReplyDeleteI found I lost a lot of weight using a schedule and including 2-4 carb choices per meal and 1-2 for 2 snacks a day. 15 carbohydrates is 1 carb choice. So 1 regular slice of bread is a carb choice or a piece of small fruit. I also do the 3oz of protein with each meal and my evening snack.
I find I get headaches if I haven't had enough protein. I grab a handful of nuts or a hard boiled egg and my headache usually goes away an hour or so later.
Good luck with your next step :)
Hope your headaches are feeling better by now. Are you drinking enough? Do you drink any caffeine? If you are off caffeine after drinking it for a while, that can also trigger headaches. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the soda... I am struggling with that one. Sparking water is my best friend now, but I do think about diet soda all the time...
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you quit the soda...I'd love to give you a virtual pat on the back for that one ;) XXOO
ReplyDeleteGreat job on not gaining any weight during a stressful week. What is that keeps you from letting go of the soda?
ReplyDelete@MNMSpecial Thanks for the advise...I will have to try that...I have had lack of protine lately
ReplyDelete@Jenn I drink at least 1-2 caffine drinks a day...thought it was bc my sugar was low (I am diabtic) but that wasn't the case...hoping it is bc of Houston's crazy weather...lol
@Monicazyoung Yeah H2O is a tough one for me too..there is a 'healty' water flavor you can buy at stores...wish I remember what it was called...suppose to be good and help ween off of sodas...I am a 20 year addict on sodas this I need to go to a SAA meeting LOL
@Bookieboo You will be the FIRST to know :) Thanks for the encouragement
@AriesMommy If I don't have my coke or caffine I am not a nice person during the day...it is sad to say but I have a LONG time addiction BUT I would LOVE to kick the habit (one less thing to waste $$$ on LOL
Thanks everyone for the LOVE & Support!!!
congratulations on maintaining the weight and hope that everything goes easy with you know what
ReplyDeleteHave a great week
headaches could be too much caffeine or not enough. It could also be a sign of dehydration!
ReplyDeleteHUGS1
Shelley was just talking about headaches on her posts too. I used to suffer from terrible migraines, never really found the cause. Definitely been getting headaches lately and instead of doing what I'd like to and just crawl into bed and hide it away I've been stretching and doing some yoga or pilates. So far that has helped me to relax through the headaches and ward off the migraine.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Have you tried iced tea or even just black tea instead of soda to get your caffeine fix? It's a much lower sugar/lower calorie way to wean yourself off of liquid satan. The heat may contribute to faster dehydration, too, so maybe up the water intake? Like for every soda, drink 2 waters. Hope the headaches go away!
