Soror, I have been doing the flex since last june and just started the Core, but I still counts points, I'm just eating mostly fruits and veggies, with a bit of whole wheat carbs and that's how I mixed FS with Core. I would only eat oatmeal (the oatmeal that takes a long time to cook) in the morning, salad or grilled veggies for lunch, with fruits in between when I was hungry. for dinner I would do a bean dish like a lettuc wrap. I got real creative and it worked.

I put together furniture over the weekend, did some shopping, ran/walked 3 miles on Sunday, and haven't done anything since. So when I run tomorrow, I'ma prolly be a mess.
I've gained back about half of the weight I lost from the FS diet, but a lot of it is probably water (TOTM is upon me). I thought it was all in my head being hungry all the time, but since I haven't run this week, I have not been as ravenous as before. And not even junk food, like, seriously hungry for meals. And it's the end of the school year so kids are having little parties and bringing in food and ordering pizza and chicken wings... I'm dyin' over here. Seriously. And I've had four drinks this week. I can't even tell you the last time I had alcohol (I think it was in March). So I need to get it back in gear. Barely maintaining.
BB91, congrats, congrats, congrats!!!!! Size 8's and 10's?! GO 'HEAD GIRLIE!!!!  That's AWESOME news!!! I have a pair of size 10 jeans that don't fit at all. But I have a size 10 jean skirt that 'fits' but fits funny in the back. I'm not sure I'm ready to wear it.
TREBLK!!!! Guess where I'm going during my free bells??? The library. Guess WHY... YOU on a Diet (on CD) finally came in!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! I'm going to listen during my runs over the next three weeks. I'm SO excited!!!
Have a safe holiday weekend, y'all!!! I'm going to do my best not to overeat. But the Taste of Cincinnati is already calling my name. |
Ideal I hear you, that's why I combined FS with Core, so that way I won't gain it back if I eat the "wrong" things. I had several glasses of wine this weekend at a wine festivel, I had BBQ yesterday with a small side of potato salad, and ran 3 miles this morning. Still eating my oatmeal in the morning, salad or veggies in the afternoon and maybe some brown rice in the evening.
But I tell you one thing..when you can't have all the "wrong" food is when you start craving it more.
