BlueStorm's 2012 transformation. ( Food & training log )

[BlueStorm]

I am having fun in the kitchen.
Lentils, tomato, chicory, lots of spices and sprouts!

Wooooow! This looks AMAZING!!!!!

[BlueStorm]

Happy to report I have been working out every day.
Tennis, 40 km bike ride outside, Jillian Michaels's dvd's and walking.

My skin condition is gone far as I know it and my weight is still going down.
Besides more energy I have more focus and I love it.

If anyone is reading this, besides VEGA and flaxseed, where do you get your OMEGA 3's?
Thanks!

Well, I'm reading this, but my answers are Vega and flaxseed! Haha!

Good job on your consistency and results! That's fantastic!

So... I had a bit of a set back....

Here's what happened.

For 2 weeks I have been doing great.
Like SUPER.

Then I feel mentally off, my body is weak and there this HUNGER inside.
So reading Transformation I read the part where when too little food we end up binging eventually. ( I knew this, BUT this never appplies to me because I hate lo cal diets)
Then I hear Jillian Michaels talking to a lady on my podcast like she was talking to me.

I got out Jillian's books and , for the first time started calculating what goes in and goes out.
Since the sun is shining again I am out walking a lot.... And then half an hour to an hour of intense weight/cardio...
I was shocked....I am on starvation diet .

I cried and talked to my guy when he got home and he help me fix a spreadsheet to make clear what I should move and eat to avoid cravings. ( Got myself a good man!!)

I am not one to count calories, yet this was necessery to make it visual for me and get a new game plan.

Feeling set back and a bit bummed I am wrapping my head around it and planning on going at it another 10 weeks.

Thanks for "listening"....

You're getting to know your body better, and that's great! That's why tracking food intake and output is so important. Just hang in there, and be patient with your body and mind.

Posting more examples soon, here are my thoughts for now:


So this day says I am in week three, yet with the knowledge I gained I am in day one of my transformation. ( Binges, thank you for teaching me...)

I doubted, do I start over the Transformation challenge for best result?

I said I am in it to win it.

I won knowledge , I changed my behaviour, I educated myself and today was the perfect example.
I cycled 25 km in the sun, I had therapy for my related issues and enjoyed a fresh mint tea at the beach with my friend.

So maybe I am not the winner Bill looks for, I am becoming the one I have been looking for.
I need to look no further.
I need not look on the outside.
Healing comes from within.

And with my winning attitude...my body will come.
I will not stop working for it.

This kinder, lighter diet of love is working.

Lunch....

[BlueStorm]

So I jogged an hour and burned off over 600 calories. ( Then had some Vega! )
I am prepping a recipe by Kathy Freston ( banana muffin/bread thingie ), making beansoup with lots of veggies and I just got my new Oxygen Magazine in AND The Blood sugar Resolution which I have been wanting to read bad!

Today, I am gratefull.
Share pics soon!
