Greetings Buddies:
I just came from Orange Theory Fitness and a good sweat.
I shared three of my food journals with one of the trainers so she can take a look and give me advice. I suspect she will tell me to eat more calories per day and make it six small meals per day to increase my metabolism.
I already KNOW this but I have thyroid disease so the usual metabolic advice often does not work for me. But, I am asking for help and will listen.
I recently bought a post-workout supplement that includes only branched chain amino acids (BCAAs)and tastes like Tang when mixed with water. Great stuff for replenishing the electrolytes we lose in sweat. My whey protein shakes also have BCAAs which is important, too.
I just made a super yummy salad that is a lower fat, lower calorie version of a salad at Trader Joe's. Maybe check out today's lunch in my food diary to see it. It has broccoli slaw, kale, chicken breast, Craisins, crushed almonds, and lite coleslaw dressing.
Tonight we will have a small amount of pasta...once in the while I splurge in the carbs. Some people say carb cycling helps get off a plateau.
I am dedicated, determined, and diligent
