Have you tried Pink Grapefruit, instead of normal?

For Grapefruit users, half a small Pink, is equivalent to about half a normal one.

The only slight downside I found when I checked this out, is that Pink has slightly less Vit C, but it does have more of other stuff, and cruicially Lycopene, which normal ones don't.

Lately, I've started working out consistently. Joined an MMA gym, so I go to thai boxing/boxing 4-5 times per week. However, diet sucks. I've been eating way too many cookies, ice cream and cake. It stops today!!

Monday:
Breakfast: Smoothie with whey
Snack: celery and hummus
Lunch: salmon, green beans, carrots
Snack: spinach
Dinner: Tilapia, spinach, broccoli

Workout: 60 min thaiboxing.

husband's 10 year class reunion is this weekend, and I'm trying to lose a couple pounds...wish me luck!

[Nokie173]

Good Luck... muay thai is soooo Fun!!!

I remember kicking a couple of guys butt!
LoL.. we all ended up with bruises!

Try to get those Weight watcher cookies!
It's not bad... and contains less calories than a regular cookie.
However, don't eat the whole box!

[AnnaCruzDC]

So Tuesday I thai boxed and decreased caloric intake. I finally woke up feeling healthy and light, not lethargic and heavy!! Unfortunately I'm not thai boxing today because I have to study tonight, but I'll try and squeeze in a run.

Thursday:
Breakfast: oatmeal/flax
Snack: celery/hummus
Lunch: salmon, spinach
Snack: Cheese/celery
Dinner: Salmon, soup

6:30-7:30 Thai box
7:40-8:40 Clinching class

I've also been reading boxing forums on how to lose weight the healthy way and stay motivated. Wish me luck, I'm tired of being chubby and slow.

[Boss Man]

Decreasing Calories might seem okay, but if you're cutting too low, you could get negative effects, like Fat retention, or possible fat gain, from reduced Metabolic activity, owing to you exercising as well.

I'm just saying this, incase perhaps you cut them a little too aggressively.

You could if you were feeling lethargic / bloaty, perhaps have reduced your Carbs a bit, then used things like Nuts, (except possibly Cashews owing to the Carb content), Seeds, Oils, generally those kind of light Fat sources, that wouldn't make you feel like you were eating a gargantuan portion at meal times, but contribute to a caloric total, somewhere around 300-400 above the 1,800 sedentary female average.

Plus the extra Fats would contribute to some removal of Bad fat potentially, and the slight Carb deficeit, would encourage some additional Fat use for energy, as Fat is a secondary energy source.

If you did these sort of things, then ignore what I said .

[AnnaCruzDC]

Thanks, Bossman. I did cut carbs, and I'm feeling better. I'm also trying to eat more fresh fruits for breakfast and veggies through out the day.

I started thai boxing again 3 weeks ago, and its the best decision I've made in a looong time. I don't know why I stopped!! I've gone to class 4 times this week so far, I'm addicted. I even made it to an 8:40pm class today! It doesn't really feel like a work out because its so much fun and I get into pretending I'm punching mean people I encounter everyday. I've lost 3 lbs since, but I've gained a lot of muscle, especially in arms and legs. I def don't want to look like one of those ugly MMA woman fighters. However, I wouldn't mind looking like Gina Carano.

[Boss Man]

Reunions. Places where some people tell you stuff about their soft, fluffy, caramel coated lives, that makes you feel inadequate, or places where you meet a spouses old flame(s), or possibly one nighter(s).

I wouldn't go to one of those, not for those reasons, but just incase one or two total jerkoffs showed up, pretending they'd changed. What like those people who go to prison, then get out and claim to have found God

I'm glad you started the T B, and you like it. Too many females become the victims to terrible men, either strangers or people they date / marry.

Having the skills you are learning, could potentially save a womanslife, so you should be proud of doing all you're doing, including that, and I hope it all works out for you.

Keep on trucking and good luck .

[AnnaCruzDC]

VACATION!! Run on beach everyday!!!

[Boss Man]

That can happen sometimes, you get a sort of hump, where nothing seems to happen, but the patient and common sense individual, doesn't panic after 2-3 weeks of no results, and immediately start doing heaps of things to diet and training to stimulate results, they'll give it another 2-3 weeks, before assessing if change is needed.

You took the right approach, so it paid off.

[AnnaCruzDC]

Yesterday I binged on steak fries from Kentucky Fried Chicken (EEK) and two pieces of chicken strips. I'm officially getting married on June 4 2010, so I have 8 months to get into shape ( I eloped without parents knowing ) I need a major lifestyle change...OH, and did I mention I was laid off It's hard eating healthy when I'm trying to save money until next job

Current Stats:

Weight 116-117 ( I was 123...I know, I let myself gooooo)

Today's workout
30 Push-ups
Arms
Leg lifts
HIIT
Long run (trying to run races)

Wish me luck...
