CORE Day 2
Posted by dnbarton on January 29th, 2008
Well here I am. I survived one day on CORE. And maybe, just maybe, I’m becoming more of a believer! (:
Here’s my deliemma… EATING OUT. As I mentioned yesterday, I am a picky eater. Don’t like many vegetables… don’t like onions, peppers, tomatoes, etc… so. How do I eat out and stay on plan? Pizza is deadly for me (although I did maintain control last night!)… fast food (usually Taco Bell) is tough… cause even if I bought one of their “bowls” I hardly like anything on it.. talk about no flavor… Hmmm… pondering this one… maybe I should just EAT AT HOME! but that’s not very feasable for my lifestyle….
Here’s my food so far…
| Food | Core/Pts |
|---|---|
| Oatmeal | CORE |
| chicken salad (3 cups) w/ (1/2 cup) corn & ff dressing, tortillachips | CORE +1 FP |
| applesauce | CORE |
| sf pudding | CORE |
| 1 cup milk | CORE |
| WW Core homemade Pesto Sauce, Chicken, WW Spaghetti | CORE |
| Sweet Potato Fries (Olive Oil) | CORE |
|
Popcorn; sf pudding |
CORE |
| Totals | CORE +1 FP |
| Fruits & Veggies (nursing moms need 8!!) | 7/8 |
| Healthy Oils (2) | 2/2 |
| Protein | 2 /2 |
| Dairy (3) | 3 /3 |
| Daily Activity: Step Aerobics (w/ 1 less set of brick) | |
|
24 /35 Flex Points Left |
|
Also I have decided to take one set of “bricks” out of my step during Step Aerobics to see how my knees react. Lunges REALLY hurt and I’ve noticed stepping up is also painful. Someone suggested that the two sets of bricks might have something to do with it, so I’m trying to see if this helps. Also I am stepping up the number of times per week that I do “Group Power” my weight lifting class, and cutting one cardio out. I feel like my knees need to be strengthened and a little less “stressed”… hopefully this helps!

Danielle…do you add on Activity points? I guess i never have. (Maybe you don’t do that during CORE? Just curious.

Wow, good for you for trying and stick to Core. I tried it once and lasted like 4 hours.
Keep up the great work!

Wow! You are really doing great!
Thank you for your note of encouragement the other day. It really helped and I’m starting to get back on track! Thank you!
Keep up the really awesome work!

Thanks for the WW Bride idea. I will have to check that out! Hope your knees feel better! I wish I could go to group power, it’s such an awesome workout. I am a firm believer that if I don’t hurt the next day, I probably didn’t work out hard enough, but every time I left power, I could barely move!
Good seeing you the other weekend! Give Natalee a kiss for me!
