View CELAWLOR's food & exercise for this day
Personal training session was all admin today. She told me that I need to double my protien intake and work on lowering the fat and sodium. Double the protein? She said that I should be getting 180 g at minimum. I'm not really sure what to think about that. I feel fine. I perform fine. ?????
Anyway, I'm feeling kinda low-key right now and I think I am going to take a shower then do some reading.
Update: Did I say I was feeling low-key? Maybe I was just hungry. LOL. I went out and soaked up some glorious sunshine, watered the flower beds and pulled HUNDREDS of weeds. I love spring.
I did some more research about this protein thing. Looks like the average adult woman needs 50 g per day. CK recommended 113 g per day. I am already at 100 g. Does my fat-ass seriously need all that extra protein? For what? Do my fat cells need the protein to stay strong and healthy? Personally, I'm busting my butt to make sure they wither up and die!
Oh well. I distinctly remember our nutritionist telling us to eat the recommended servings of meat. She didn't say anything about me needing to eat QUADRUPLE what the average woman needs. I am not the size of four women. Just two. Or maybe three *really* small women.
Ewwww. Speaking of small women. There was a woman at the gym who, I kid you not, had upper arms that were SMALLER than my WRISTS!!! She was a cool 5' 8" as well. Probably wore at least a size 8 shoe. O.M.G. I was probably as grossed-out watching her excercise as she probably was watching me! She didn't even have any butt cheeks. Of course, I wondered what her ass would look like with no squish. Would someone that skinny even have a crack? I just can't fathom it. I was at the gym almost three hours total and she was there before I arrived and was there when I left. I felt really sad for her. My trainer told me that she was a nutritionist and they were trying to find a legal way to intervene, but they couldn't. I seriously COULD NOT take advice from a nutritionist who looked like that.
Oh, my trainer also used my BMI from CK (because I had already worked out before my appointment and she said that she can't take any measurements after I had worked out) and she put in some other data about me and the computer concluded that with a BMI of 44 today, that I would be 2% fat at 133 lbs. So, she concluded that my BMI cannot possibly be 44 right now and she said that we will calculate it more correctly on our next session. I am VERY happy about that. I'm not sure I quite understand how the computer backed into all those numbers, but I am just very happy that my BMI is lower than that. I know I am a very sturdy woman, but it makes me feel better when the computer and other health care professionals agree. I would look like the above mentioned woman at 130 lbs. I think I hit that 130 lb mark when I was 8 or 9 years old and never looked back. LOL.
