Day 16

Weekend Update:

waaa waaa waaaaaaaauuum! I did HORRIBLE. The food beat the shizza outta me. It's like snacky took over my body and will power went out the window for all of Saturday and the end of friday. I guess after I ate the first no-no food I decided to follow the motto "go big or go home," but now i'm remebering that quote mom posted about regret hurting worse than the pain of the work out. I did gain two lbs. but I already lost 1 of them because of our work out yesterday and the additional guilt cardio (3 miles in 30 min.) at my fitness room. I'm eating flawlessly this week because we leave for Padre Saturday morning. I woke up today and had a bowl of cereal. It'll be a sanwich for lunch and I haven't figured out dinner, but I'll have an apple for a snack.

Here are Jillian's email Tips:

FRIDAY: IT'S YOUR BODY, BABY

Tune in to Your Body Your body is trying to tell you something, but you're just not listening! To win at the weight-loss game, you've got to make some changes. One of the most important ones is to stop listening to anything but your body to establish a realistic weight for your specific build. Forget about what you see and hear from pop-culture sources.
Another thing not to rely on is the body mass index (BMI), which determines the amount of fat you have on your body according to your weight and height. Here's why you're not going to use it: It fails to distinguish between fat and muscle, so the BMI will ultimately give you an incomplete sense of the shape you're in.
Today, the medical industry has set its weight guidelines according to the waist-to-hip-ratio method, which is a much more accurate way of arriving at an ideal goal weight. Follow these steps to find yours:
Get a tape measure and measure your waist right at the belly-button line.
Standing with feet hip-width apart, measure your hips at their widest point.
Now simply divide your waist measurement by your hip measurement. This is your waist-to-hip ratio.

The ideal waist-to-hip ratios are 0.80 for women and 0.95 for men.

Yes, Healthy Meals Can Taste Good! What did your meals consist of before you started your healthy eating regimen? 1,000+ calorie pasta dishes? Bacon cheeseburgers? Bags of chocolate chip cookies? Well, you obviously know by now those are the types of meals and snacks that sabotage your weight-loss efforts. But you can do as your fellow teammates do and create your old favorites with a twist. Do a recipe search on my site, and you'll find options such as a low-calorie risotto, a "Lean Mean Cheeseburger," and yes, even healthier versions of cookies. Check it out and let those excuses that you wouldn't enjoy healthy food become a thing of the past!
