Eating Right 4 Your Blood Type...

My brother (the ANTI- dieting guy) got this book...

Eating Right 4 Your Type

He said that he has followed his recommended diet and has lost weight fast and safe and does not feel a bit hungry or weak! I had gotten this book in college and read it and thought I could NOT follow the diet because I have O blood and it says I need to eat a lot of meat.. I HATE meat!
I am not a vegetarian, but meat is not a favorite of mine or even close... YUK!
(after reading it all I need to have type A blood! anyone wanna switch LOL)



I found this article online it is awesome... check it out!!

It convinced me to at least try it out.. I was going to attempt to add it to my weight watchers.

Here is what it says on the back of the book about the over all idea of the different types of blood!


Blood Type O

~eat meat (high protein, low carbs)
~Cut out wheat and most grains
~Engage in vigorous aerobic exercise
~ Risk factors- Ulcers, inflammatory disease

Blood Type A

~Should be a vegetarian (high carbs, low fat)
~Gentle exercise like yoga, golf
~ Meditate to deal with stress
~Risk factors- cancer, heart disease

Blood Type B

~Should have a varied diet, you do well with dairy
~Exercise like moderate swimming or walking
~Risk factors- slow-growing viruses that attack the nervous system

Blood Type AB

~You have the most of the benefits and intolerances of A & B
~Calming exercises and relaxation techniques
~ You have the friendliest immune system of all types

I am still loving this diet... though I have somehow fallen off the scale, which is a good thing!
I forge to weight myself!
I have heard and read that it is not good to weigh yourself every day... so I guess it is good that I have no brain! LOL... I cant not seem to remember to get on the scale in the morning before I eat or drink anything!

I have stuck 100% to this diet... plus my work out, plus I have enrolled my son in a gym class and I am sure chasing a toddler around counts for something!

I will be posting a weigh in next Tuesday.. PROMISE!

First Week DONE!

Today marks my 1 week of weight watchers!
I am so excited to say I lost 6lbs my first week!
YAY!

Now if I could only loose 6lbs every week for the next month then I would be back to my Wedding weight!

fingers crossed on that one!

I know it will even out sooner then later and my body will get use to this change.

I am still loving this diet though!

Weight Watchers Day # 5

I LOVE this diet!
I feel like I am on a roll... I am doing great with my points!
I am never hungry, my meals are healthy and filling but Yummy!

The weight watchers online membership is so great... they have a database full of great meals to cook and then a database to find out points on things you wanna eat! For fun I looked up some things I know are full of fat... and I found a few things that are so high on the point system that I would only be able to eat one thing... like a sausage breakfast bisquit from McDonald's. Holy Cow... FATTENING STUFF!

I have found that I have a new addiction to grape tomatoes!
YUMMY..
They are so good with Feta Cheese!

Anyone else doing this, you have any yummy recipes or favorite things to eat?
Do share!

Weight Watchers

I started today!

I am pretty excited about Weight Watchers, I have heard numerous amazing weight loss stories!

I have a great girlfriend of mine helping me along... I am not sure I would have been so excited without her support and encouragement!

My weigh in day is on Monday's so I will let you know how much weight I loose this first week!
I have 24 points a day plus 35 flex(anytime) points...I think I will just use my extra points in an emergency situation. Other then that I am going to try and stick to my 24 pts.

It does cost money to be a weight watchers member... I did the 3 months and found a 25% off coupon online! So, if you think about joining or checking it out... google search Weight Watchers Coupon.

Wish me luck!

I Need Some...

I have no idea what my problem is!

I look in the mirror and see this body that is NOT mine... well it is but it is a little larger then anything I want to see! I have every intention on working on being thin again, dieting, I work out ALL THE TIME.
But, then the day starts and I loose all the confidence I have in being able to do it.
I have the " I'll start the BIG diet tomorrow" attitude
It is ALWAYS tomorrow!
This is NOT my personality...
BT (Before Travis) I was one of those people that if I wanted to loose 5 lbs, I would DO it immediately!
Now, I cant seem to get in the groove!
I NEED motivation!
I know what I can do to loose weight, but I just am not willing to give up my yummy food.
I get so disappointed because I will loose weight on a diet and then slip and eat french fries and then I will be stuck on eating bad again and then waste all that hard work on working so hard to loose the weight!
ANYONE have advice!?!
I need it!

Stroller fit challenge!

Challenge #10

Exercise: Do you ever wonder how far you actually jog or walk during your workout? Do you ever wonder how far you walk during the day?

If you want to know the TRUTH a great piece of equipment is a pedometer. It is useful, inexpensive and is a great tool to use to see how much you are actually moving through out the day! OR another great piece of equipment that I am in love with now is the Strollometer! Not only does it tell you how far you have gone, it tells you how hot, how cold, AND gives you your mph just like a treadmill! It is so cool!! I highly recommend it for tracking your workouts!

Your Goal should be 10,000 Steps a day!

Nutrition: Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a prince, and Dinner like a pauper! So breakfast can be tough….The point is your body NEEDS the energy in the morning more than the evening. Eat big in the morning, Eat a medium sized lunch, and eat a very small portion at dinner. If you have trouble eating breakfast…TRY THIS. Eat a small dinner, stop eating 2-3 hours before bed and I betcha you will be Ready for Breakfast after a few days!
