Default Not starting over, just starting differently

After a talk with Tom, I am determined to restart my nutrition program. I
had been eating between 1600-1800 calories a day, actually that was my goal;
I was usually eating less. I was very disappointed that I had not been
losing weight faster and was disappointed in my performance at my monthly
testing for a new personal record by Ahmed (Olympic style lifting coach).
Tom is convinced, and convinced me, that I needed to eat absolutely clean
for a while to see why the diet is not working better. I had not been
watching the times I was eating and could go long periods without food if I
was out running around and not wanting to stop. The result was that my
calories could become bunched up. I also was not always careful of the
composition of my daily total. I thought that the daily total was
important, not necessarily what those calories were made of ( this is for
weight loss, I knew I had to watch protein and carbs for weight training).
So, yesterday I went shopping with my diet menu in hand and came home and
weighed and premeasured most everything. Tom's theory is the less choice I
have the better it will be. I am not sure about that, since I tend to be a
non schedule, don't box me in type person, but I will try it for a month. I
am determined to get a new pr in the snatch by the end of November.

One other glitch is that my doctor changed my osteoarthritis medicine from
Vioxx to Bextra and I don't think it is agreeing with me. I've spent the
past three days with a painful stomach AND my joints hurt. My stomach has
been rebelling against anything other than dry toast. Should be an
interesting day lifting this morning since I am still incredibly sore from
the pr testing, nauseous and underfueled (also I am fighting off my son's
cold..it's there in my head lurking but has not blossomed yet).

My biggest battle will be the organization required to eat absolutely on
plan, including timing, for a month. I will give it my best shot! Elise

I hope the new plan works for you. Will you be doing smaller meals spaced
out during the day?
I went through a similar episode with a medicine change earlier this year.
My doctor changed my osteoporosis medication and for one week I spent most
of my time in the bathroom. When he suggested I try it for one more week I
wanted to cry. Thankfully my body adjusted and I felt fine. Hopefully
your body will be able to adjust to the new medicine, too.

Elise,

The "no-choice" plan works for me. Boring = less eating = weight
loss. You should try to get used to it and do it always. Calories do
count, of course, and the bottom line is how many you eat vs how much
you burn. Suggest you not skip meals. Good luck.

I managed to eat "to plan" today. As expected, the hardest part was the
timing. I woke up still nauseous and wasn't able to eat all I was supposed
to for breakfast. Then, I got home from the gym late for lunch. By the
time I ate lunch, changed and went to run errands it was time for snack. So
I ate my f/f yogurt at stop lights (stomach was ok by now). Was starving by
dinner, but ate clean. Out running my younger kid to fencing lessons and
picking up new prescription for osteoarthritis, I missed time for evening
snack. Eating 6 times a day, evenly spaced is hard! I think I will buy some
meal replacement bars (our gym sells some good ones) to keep in my purse; I
really did not enjoy wishing for a red light so I could eat my yogurt before
it got warm (it was shorts weather here today). Elise

Good for you for trying it! You have a great goal to reach and I hope you
make it. I find that a plan is a good thing at times and you might find it
good because you really don't have to focus as much since it's all mapped
out for you. OTOH, the structure can be annoying when real life kicks in.


Jenn
