So 20 lbs have been lost and I find myself at a plateau of sorts. It’s time to get serious and keep this journey moving in the right direction. Ok, so now what?
Well, it’s going to be all about nutrition. The problem is that there is a PLETHORA of information out there about what to eat, what not to eat, when to eat the good stuff, how much bad stuff is ok, what you should never, ever eat and what’s ok here and there. Plus, let’s also consider how much training is getting done. (Really, 2000 yards in a pool leaves a person VERY hungry so what can I eat after that?)
Gotta keep the fuel tanks full but not over full…
And it’s more than carbs, proteins and fats. What about vitamins and minerals? And what about all the conflicting information out there? (I read comments on an article about losing 10 lbs. Article says “drink skim milk instead of whole” and comment said something like “drink whole milk because skim milk lacks the full benefits of whole milk”. Well, who is right?!?! Very frustrating…)
Perhaps I need to post the nutrition blogs like I was supposed to a few months ago… Ok, that gives me something to do on Sunday…
For now, it’s going to be more fruits and veggies during the day and more water consumed. And breakfast will be eaten (in some form) in the morning. That’s a good (and easy) start!
