Well, it was Sassafras who told me about it, she's a personal trainer, and she's done it before. I'm guessing it's something bodybuilders do to prepare for an upcoming competition. White fish isn't fatty, but still gives you the proper protein and cabbage the proper complex carbs. It was only going to be a two week thing...only temporary to shock my body.

Needless to say, I didn't stick to it tonight either. I was so craving a burger. So I used a veggie patty(that's really tasty!), a whole wheat bun, lettuce, tomato, dill pickles, mushrooms, and a little bit of ketchup. So it was a healthy burger. Plus some baked fries with just a tiny bit of olive oil on them and spiced with garlic, thyme, rosemary and a tiny bit of salt. All in all a good meal, though really, I shouldn't have the potato late in the day.
They did it properly on the TV show. It's a really great show. The trainers getting people eating just the right amount of calories for the three hours of working out they do 6 days a week (I think two hours of cardio and an hour of weights/resistance training.) They even did some shows were they took regular ol' families, had them train with the trainers for a week then go home and continue the program. The results were still amazing. Basically it shows what you can do when you eat the proper amount of calories and exercise.

Well, Iavas and my parents will be the only ones. The reason I'm stressing is because I go back to England in two weeks. They've not seen me since December and I'm going to be fatter. I was hoping for the opposite. If you read the first entry in my LJ ( http://erunameundomiel.livejournal.com/ ) you might understand a bit more.

Anyway, tonight I did eliptical/exercise bike/eliptical. I can only do about 25 minutes on the eliptical unfortunately. It's just a bit too tiring. So I went and did 25 minutes on the bike. I would have done the whole 35 but the bike doesn't really get my heart rate going enough and I'm obviously not burning as many calories. I had to pedal fairly fast to get my heart rate up and I couldn't keep that going for the whole time because my leg muscles would give out. The one good thing about the bike: I can get 9 miles in 25 minutes! Good for my mileage tally. Anyway, I did the last 10 minutes on the eliptical which was tough because my legs were tired.
Total of 12.3 miles tonight, total = 424.41. Only 30 someodd miles to Rivendell! And with me doing the bike twice a day plus the other stuff, I'll be there in a day and a half.
Hang in there, both of you! [/quote]
