REPAIR: STAGE 1 DAY 6 8/30/2008 Results

FAIR .. Macros: ate at IKEA, good choices, then wasn't hungry to get to 1200 cal
cal ___ NO .. 1,035 cal eaten ____ (goal = 1200 calories)
prot __ YES .. 44% __ 105 gm___ (goal 120+gm protein =40%+)
fat ___ YES .. 21% __ 23 gm____ (goal 27-33 g fat 20%-25%)
carb __HIGH .. 35%__ 87 gm____ (goal 75-90g carb 25%-30%)
30% carbs are starchy carbs _____ (goal = 20%)
weight 8/30=170 (begin REPAIR 173) up 2lb... (total from beginning REPAIR -3)

Comments/questions:
1. So is it okay to go over my carb and my starchy carb if my calories are not too high?
2. What's so terrible with eating UNDER my goal 1200 cal?
3. I was not hungry; I am rarely hungry at 1200 cal if my protein is high; what will it be like to eat 2000 calories??? Will my body really make these adjustments and then begin to drop fat???
4. Tomorrow finishes 1 week of REPAIR!! I'm doing well with it. I'm always hopeful at the beginning and then get slammed with no results... Anyway, there is no cheating or not counting/weighing going on, so at least doing what it takes to get the results I want.

Food weighed in fitday.com
1. 4 eggwhite omelete w/20gm lox, 90gms sweet potato
2. 1 oz turkey breast 3. IKEA: 5oz poached salmon, cooked turnips&carrots,
... and, 1/8C potato, 3 swedish meatballs w/taste of gravy &
... lingonberry sauce (written in Fitday best I could)
4. 1 egg + Golden Pancakes (oats, cc, & eggwhite) 3/4oz lite maple syrup
6. 7gm cashews

NO __ Rule 1: No exercise ... shopping, walked around IKEA for 2 hrs
YES__ Rule 2: 7-8 hrs sleep =7 hours sleep last night
NO__ Rule 4: Ease in carbs 53% starchy carbs (sweetpotato, white potato & 1/3C oats)
YES __ Rule 6: sodium < 3000mg = 1543 sodium is what I calculate fitday.com daily foods eaten, but this is probably a low estimate

How I felt
1. Rested, but felt old: hips, thighs, calves achey from just 2 hrs IKEA walking/shopping
2. I felt relaxed and productive
3. Good choices at IKEA & allowed myself a taste of Carol's Swedish meatballs w/out buying a whole meal of it. Indulged in a fat-free frozen yogurt but didn't eat the cone part.
3. Day 6 is done, weighed, counted... and logged
4. Drank water but am not counting, drank about 6 glasses
5. Had multi-vitamin and 1 probiotic

Extra credit:
YES a. spa, massage, epson salt bath: made apt for massage for Tuesday
??? b. increase potassium and magnesium: don't know

To do better tomorrow:
1. decrease starchy carbs to 20% (I had 53%), have a real clean food day
2. catch up on sleep MORE (rest stage)... could be doing better here
3. count my water

- Etana
p.s. one thing I must say to be honest, is that it is 2:40am that I am writing this, in my "REST" stage of REPAIR. I have been getting 7-8 hrs' sleep, but could use a few 10 hr nights.
