BTW...I have a challenge for tomorrow. I need to be doing this every day. This challenge is not so much about doing something,but NOT doing something. I challenge us all to avoid bread,pasta,potatoes, etc...anything super "carby" for the entire day.

You're killing me lol.

Ok-so bad carbs -out-

Good thing I finished off the variety box of cookies tonight, that would have sucked to have around all day tomorrow with the no carb challenge.

Not all carbs are bad though....this is from the fitness site my trainer got me into. Keep this in mind when you're cutting out carbs.

"Fat burns in a carbohydrate flame," or maximal fat utilization for energy cannot occur without sufficient carbohydrate to continue Kreb's Cycle activity (energy/fat-burning cycle).

In summary, try not to dip below 40% of your total calories being made up of carbohydrates, and remember that eating fewer calories leads to fat/weight loss. If you feel better with less then the recommended amounts of carbohydrate in your diet (40-60% of primarily "good carbs" such as grains, fruits and vegetables), and it is not affecting your overall energy levels including exercise intensity or duration, by all means do what works for you. To lose weight you simply need to eat less calories than you burn but remember it takes plenty of carbohydrates at each meal to maximize exercise induced muscle gains and your goal, as stated, is muscle gain so don't cheat yourself."

This is from apex.com btw


Good luck everybody-I'm sure we'll have some great results tomorrow!

Well I'm out!

 

I'm really big on whole grains. I don't think all carbs are bad and they are definitely part of my diet yet mostly in a good way!

[estella1007]

Ok, amendment to the challenge. As long as it's whole grain it's ok.

So, I had a small loss. I really like the mini-challenges, but probably won't be able to do them for the rest of the contest. Now that my summer session of school has started I have 5-6 hours of homework a day on top of 4 1/2 hours of classroom time. I never thought it would be this much. Its really cutting into my BDW time! lol Oh well, it'll be over again soon. I'll fit in the challenges when I can. The good news is that I really don't have time to eat or go shopping for food, so I'll lose weight that way!

[Jacilynda]

LOL! Kel hopefully it doesn't make you so hungry you gorge when you do have a minute to eat!

[deefalvey]

crap! its 9:00 and we just got done with dinner and I haven't weighed in....maybe I'll take the dog for a quick walk and then go jump on the scale. I don't know how I forgot - I guess staying in Cabo an extra day threw me off...

[Jacilynda]

OH Ann! LOVE the pic of Gwen!!! She has the same hair as Cattie!!! Maybe she'll find a small british boy!!!!!
