Talia's Aggressive April

[minime]

awesome work with your first Micheal, talia. That is a very good time.

It sounds like you have a fun weekend planned! Enjoy yourself!

[sweetdream]

I had a great weekend!!

today:
I was very sleepy and didn't feel like getting to the gym so I did:

15 min elliptical
17 min run/walk outside
15 min elliptical

I feel so fat and bloated ugh... I ate a lot of sodium the other day, didn't go off too bad this weekend but I did have some croutons today! I couldn't resist!!! so now I am just going to go the whole rest of the week without them and just use them only for salads like once a week. I think that's a good compromise with myself

ok- so. agaiun, my period = sodium=carbs= my looking my stomach and thinking HOW THE HELL DO I GET IT TO SHRINK MORE?!

So- I have this friend, I have known her since 2nd grade and I am pretty sure I remember posting about how her comment to me when I said I finally lost weight was "your looking a little small I wouldn't lose anymore" anyone recall that?



well anyways..i do still have a grudge about it and WILL NOT comment to her about losing weight but I did trip up some advice to her- of course I couldn't help it...



what I needed to know is how much protein does a person need per day? is it 1 gram or .5? i said one of the two i didnt know which one specifically. and don't get me wrong it's not that I don't want her to lose weight it's just the fact that it's not fair to me who has been and always will bust my ass to look good and I can't even get a compliment from her.. it hurt is what it boils down to and so I'm sorry but the only way I can be the better person is to offer her advice

[minime]

hi talia, you aren't supposed to break angie up.. that is what makes it extra tough! having to finish your pushups before you move to situps etc. Great job however!

oh and in terms of protein I prefer to advise closer to 1g per pound of bodyweight. If you don't hit it fine, it's not a necessity but protein is more filling than carbs so eating more should keep one fuller on less calories. Same goes for fats. Carbs are the least sustaining of all, therefore best kept under control if calories are being restricted.

[sweetdream]

hi friends
