Mishka's Update

Okay, I haven't given up on anything except the logging of food...and that is two-fold. First off, it takes a lot of time which I don't seem to have much of these days, and secondly, I am not probably following the healthiest eating habits right now because I am trying to speed drop some weight.

I know that for the long haul this is not a way to live, but right now, I just want to see some results so I can start feeling motivated again. With that in mind, I have stopped eating any kind of carbs at night...I do eat carbs at breakfast and lunch because I need them if I am going to function during the day and get a workout in. I tend to go to bed hungry which means that I am not sleeping as well as I would like but I REALLY enjoy getting on my Wii in the morning and seeing that I have lost weight. I have found that I need to have most of my calories before evening time in order to burn them up before bed. The problem with this method is that sometimes I don't eat anything for dinner because I am busy and forget and then it is too late...and I know that going over 10 hours without a meal is not good for me...note that this is only a temp thing...just to get me going...

Twice this week I have hit golf balls for an hour, and I am trying to continue my 30 day shred dvds and other cardio as much as I can. I haven't been good about going to the gym itself and I hope to change that in this next week but I DO believe that strength training is a great metabolism booster.

Lastly, I started taking Hydroxycut again (no ephedra version) to just give myself a bit of a boost before working out. It has caffeine in it so I am not drinking as much tea as before and I can't take it at all near the end of the day.

Finally, there are some things coming up in my life that I can't go into on here but if you know me, you know what they are, and that it is a bit stressful. Sometimes stress is a good thing...it can be motivating and appetite suppressing but I am trying to not let it overwhelm me because I can't afford to get sick from too much of it.

I completely understand. I need to stop eating so many carbs. I think that I eat way too much bread which slows my weight loss.
