following: massiverally's own diet
performance: losing 1.4 lb a week

It's time to get back into action. A back injury benched me from going to the gym last January, and a newfound hobby of sitting on the computer and stuffing my face emerged. Fortunetly, this site is helping me to turn my online-hobby into a weight loss tool!

One Week Positive Thinking CHALLENGE!
147 pounds.

I am worth it. The extra time that it takes to plan and prepare healthy meals is a gift of health, vitality, and energy that I give to myself every day.

The more healthy, vital, and energetic I am, the more I can give to others. With a strong mind, body, and spirit I have greater resources with which to help others. They are worth it, too.

"AROUND THE WORLD" (in 42 Days)
Go Voyagers!

My appointments with myself are: exercise, sitting down and taking the time to prepare and eat healthful meals, and taking the time to journal, fill in the diet and exercise calendars, and read others motivational journals!

Overall health: Diet - a lot of fruit and vegetables, lean protein, whole grains; Strength training, cardio, trying to nurse my injury prone knees and back.

Empty calories?????? SO WHAT!!!!!
I love Diet Coke. But...

The following is an exerpt from an article found at the link below:

http://www.westonaprice.org/modernfood/aspartame.html

Aspartame itself doesn’t have any calories, but basically, one of its ingredients, the amino acid phenylalanine, blocks production of serotonin, a nerve chemical that, among other activities, controls food cravings. As you might well imagine, a shortage of serotonin will make your brain and body scream for the foods that create more of this brain chemical—and those are the high-calorie, carbohydrate-rich snacks that can sabotage a dieter. Obviously, the more aspartame one ingests, the more heightened the effects. Simply put, aspartame appears to muddle the brain chemistry.

Nutritionist Susan Allen, RD, CCN, at Chicago’s Northwestern Center for Integrative Medicine, suspects that something additional is going on in many of her patients who have been using aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. Allen believes that when they consume them, the sweet taste of no-calorie sweeteners triggers their bodies to release insulin, even though there is no food to feed the cells. Normally, when we eat, the sugar in that food, which is derived from carbohydrates, is broken down into simple sugars, like glucose, which then enter the blood stream (we call it "blood sugar" Wink

.

We depend on insulin (secreted by the pancreas) to usher that blood sugar into our cells to supply energy and maintain normal blood sugar levels. The problem Allen sees is that an "insulin-sensitive" person who uses artificial sweeteners teases his or her body into thinking food is on its way, so insulin is released. But when the body discovers it was cheated out of food, it revolts by throwing a food-craving tantrum that can only be quelled by eating blood sugar food that will more than likely be high-calorie sugary snacks. "I point out to them how it doesn’t make sense. . . they’re trying to save themselves sugar but then they eat more foods that are going to raise their blood sugar anyway."

I started my diet exactly a year ago. I weighed over 30 pounds more. I guess only 7 pounds regained isn’t that bad considering how much I’ve fallen ...
