I am going to be working hard to figure out how to better balance my protein and carbs before I go grocery shopping this weekend. I am feeling bloated today and looking at my carbs I think that's part of the problem. Next week I'm going to try to get my carbs down a bit and my protein up a bit and see what the results are and if I can sustain that WOE. My buddy Yolanda has been talking about experimenting with her eating, and I guess that's what I'm doing too. It's actually kind of exciting to think about trying something new, and I love new recipes.
I made my new workout calendar for April so I'm set for workouts. Last month I figured up that I had 27 workouts scheduled and I did 22, so I thought that was pretty good. I may have only done 30 min workouts on some days, but at least I did something other than sit on the couch. And now if the weather ever starts warming up I'll get out and do more yard work, that will help the calorie burn too. But alas, snow is in the forecast tomorrow, so I don't think yardwork will be in my immediate future.
Have a great hump day!!

Wow, that's awesome! You should be totally proud of yourself. The average person probably only works out 3 times a week (if that), which is only 12 times a month, so you got almost twice as much in. I am going to let you motivate me.

Great job on the March workouts and having a plan for April! I joined MightyFull's challenge to hopefully get me motivated to start my workouts back up!

Stick to low GI carbs and u will be fine and bloat less. Google low GI foods or diet.

I agree. I have cut back on bad carbs and have upped my protein and have noticed less bloating. Good Luck! Great job on the workouts!

Protein must be: 1.2g × weight (pounds), Carbs = 1g per pound, Fat = 0.2g per pound. No carbs 5hrs before bedtime. Eat 20%-30% of low GI carbs as a pre-workout (30min before workout) with protein. U need energy when u workout and carbs are energy and protein will help retain your muscle. Remember u wana burn fat not muscle.

Thinner Leaner Stronger by Michael Matthews. Consider getting yourself a copy. He explains everything from diet to workouts. You will learn a great deal from it. I downloaded his ebook, not sure if you can get a hard copy.
