Awesome kickboxing tonite!!!
| Tue, 11-18-2003 - 10:23pm |
I'm only on day 3 of phase 1 but tonight's kickboxing was awesome! I had SO much energy. It may also be because I've been walking/running every night so my cardio has improved, but I can't help but wonder if it's also the diet. No carbs slowing me down or making me feel sluggish.
I heard people felt tired, etc. on phase 1 but I feel great! I'm probably eating more than other because I'm nursing but I don't think I'm eating too much.
I just wanted to share. I feel so excited about this. I think I'm on the road to losing those pesky, unhealthy 60 lbs. Thanks for letting me share. Julie (Maryland)

Welcome to the Beach, Julie!
Doesn't the book recommend Phase 2 while breastfeeding? I don't have my book with me (lent it to a friend, so I can't check). There are other moms here breastfeeding, so I do hope they see this and chime in, too!
(Wait a minute...did I see that right? Two people, both from Maryland, post within minutes of each other? Glad to see you both here!!!).
I didn't buy the book, I'm just relying on all the boards. There's so much info on the web. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts. Maybe some other nursing moms will post so I can get a better idea of what I should be doing. Julie
This is the first message i've posted and i'm trying to find out where i can get half fat ricotta cheese from I've lookd in Sainsburys, M&S and Tescos but cant seem to find. Do you have any suggestions?, as i've been using full fat which i know I shouldn't do but i need some kind of dessert to keep me going.
Keep me posted

I also think that you should start on Phase II as the book says. You're going to slowly add low glycemic fruits, and you could add all-bran cereal with skimmed milk for example.
With the energy, I've had MORE energy since SBD, but the fact that I lost 24 lbs probably makes a big difference in my energy levels! I find I have a lot more energy now and for example on the weekends I used to not want to get up early enough, and now I'm up and cleaning the house and raking leaves in the mornings! woohoo! (Oh , I still hate cleaning, but I do feel good once I'm done :) hehe
