Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi Cherie, I'd say if running two miles is easy and you're not out of breath, you should run either further or harder, you're not getting your heart rate up fast enough. You are very active but it sounds like your body is accustomed to your level of activity. Also, your breakfast is pretty low in protein, could you add a couple of egg whites to your breakfast? One final thing I would suggest is eating six small meals throughout the day rather than three meals. Eating throughout the day will help your body function better. This is something my personal trainer recommends to all of his clients, whether they are trying to lose or gain weight. The carbs at dinner could be a problem too. You might eat them earlier in the day and see if that helps. Let me know how it goes!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi, Cherie! I was rereading your food intake and had a few more thoughts. I guess I needed the break from studying tonight. If you are drinking fruit juice in the morning and having tea with sugar later on, you are consuming a lot of sugar through out the day, even though most of it is natural sugar. If your vegetable juice includes carrots, there's a lot of sugar there too. As we know, sugar turns to fat, like everything else, when it isn't utilized, plus it messes with your blood sugar. Back to studying. Kenda > Kenda - I run two miles, but have been doing it for so many years, > that I don't really even get out of breath.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 What is it that makes you feel limited? Is it eating healthy or do you have food allergies? Have you tried looking for a different creamer maybe from a health food store that has better ingredients in it? Usually there are healthier alternatives for things we really like if we look for them. Figuring out what works for your body takes time, don't worry about the weight, you'll get it all figured out and lose the weight you want to lose. You have a couple of things you can work on, increasing your running distance or speed will help and making a few diet modifications will as well. You're well on your way! Kenda > I was really afraid you were going to say that. I feel so limited > as it is with what I can eat. I don't know how to eliminate that > and still feel satisfied.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hi Cherie, I had the weight vs. age conversation with my personal trainer today. I'm 45 as well. He said that things do shift as we age, metabolisms do slow but if we exercise and eat right we can fight it every step of the way. It's possible for us to be in better shape as we age than we were when we were younger. I'm in better shape at 45 than I was at 30, maybe even 25. I am much stronger and healthier. You just need to find out what works with your body. As my trainer put it today, your body has no choice but to respond when we eat good or bad or exercise or not exercise. Kenda > Sis - glad your exams are going good. One more day! Maybe you can > celebrate tomorrow night! Doing something healthy that is. How is > your weight? I wonder if some of my problem is the result of being > 45. Hope tomorrow goes well with your last day of exams. > Cherie > >>>> >>>> Hi Cherie, >>>> >>>> Could you be exercising outside of your targeted heart rate? > If >>> so, you >>>> could be burning muscle, rather than fat.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hi Cherie, I have had my trainer coming up on 7 years now. I started originally because I had a herniated L5/S1 disk and wanted to strengthen my body to see if I could improve the pain and hopefully stop taking the anti-inflammatories and pain killers. I had no idea how much it would help. Today my back is fine for the most part. If I strain it, I am sore for a day or two, not the weeks or months before and my daily pain is completely gone. There is no way I could have done this on my own in the gym. When I first joined the gym, my trainer was telling me about his wife's back and how my doctor wanted to do back surgery on her. She refused, even though she had bone on bone disks. She told him that she would take care of it on her own. Through exercise, she, too, is pain free. I figured if she could do it, so could I! I see my trainer three times a week at his gym. I have two lower body days and one upper body day. He chooses my workouts, sets up weight, and makes sure I use proper form. Without good form, injury is likely, especially for me. He takes me from machine to machine or to free weights and watches everything I do. It's a great investment in yourself, if one can afford it. Even buying a few training sessions is a good idea if you'd rather not have a trainer long term because they show you how to use the machines and proper form. It is amazing how many people in gyms use terrible form and are doing themselves more harm than good. Did you eat your cereal with your egg whites? You should really have 6 small balanced meals, 1/3 each of protein, starchy carb and fruit/vegetable. Here's a bit below on carb craving I found online. The South Beach diet book advocates eating lower glycemic index carbs (as is mentioned below) so you don't get the sugar rush caused by simple carbs. I have heard it referred to as a low carb diet like Atkins but it isn't. Eating whole wheat pasta -- real whole wheat, not processed garbage, corn or brown rice pasta is a better choice than semolina. Trying to eat everything in its most unprocessed state is best. When I make pasta for my family, I make brown rice for me instead and put the sauce on it. I actually prefer it to pasta -- my kids and husband don't. Kenda The terms " carbohydrate craving " or " carbohydrate addiction " are used in a theory about the relationship between carbohydrate, insulin and appetite. We know that eating carbohydrate raises insulin, which then lowers blood sugar. This causes a desire (or craving) for more food and, for some people, carbohydrates in particular. High-sugar, refined starch, convenience and comfort foods feed the addiction like a drug. They produce correspondingly high blood sugar and insulin levels, which lead to even more cravings. They also produce higher levels of the brain chemical serotonin. In sensitive people, particularly those who may have low serotonin levels to begin with, a carbohydrate binge is the equivalent of self-medication - getting a sugar " high. " We don't really know enough about all the factors that cause specific food cravings; more research is needed to help understand appetite. Many studies suggest that a decrease in blood sugar stimulates hunger. This might help explain a craving for foods high in carbohydrates, which are a quick energy source. Biology isn¹t the only reason why we eat. Food is powerfully connected to our emotions. For many people, the mere thought of a favorite food evokes strong associations that blend image, senses, emotion and memory into a mixture that is nearly impossible to separate into the different parts. Some people advocate severely reducing carbohydrate intake, thus reducing the insulin response and cravings. Others recommend choosing carbohydrate-containing foods with a lower glycemic index in order to lower insulin response and appetite. Research so far is inconclusive, and this is complicated by the fact that individual responses to carbohydrates can vary considerably. Diets low in carbohydrate are likely to lack sufficient amounts of essential nutrients found in plant foods that promote good health. People following these diets may not get enough vitamins, minerals and fiber to avoid blood chemistry imbalances, constipation and other health problems. > Kenda, that is great that you have a personal trainer.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hi Sis, Thank you! I enjoy feeling well too much to revert back to my old ways. I spent many years sick, like many of you. Feeling good for a lot of us means truly working at it and not taking our health for granted when we achieve it. It's cold in Oklahoma now too so I do my cardio in the gym.. I don't like it at all but it does make me feel better afterward. I'm studying nutrition in school now. It is very eye opening! Sometimes what we perceive as being healthy, isn't healthy at all. Kenda > Hi Kenda, > > I really admire the way you've structured your life in order to > achieve good health.
