Does drinking water or liquids increase metabolism??
Jun 17 2009 12:19

I know that veggies and fruits wil give me an A rating.  I ate a week of nothing but veggie soup! lol  it was good for self disipline however!  I know alot of things i didn't know when i came on here almost 2 years ago Nov14th.  I am still trying to find out whether liquids, water, sugar free iced tea etc increase my metabolism or not??  I have tried googling this ?? but just get sent to so many different sites or ones that aren't medically inclined to professionally answer this ??  or just peoples chat forums.  So once again dos any one know if Liquids increase metabolism?? 

I am trying to keep my proverbial barn door open to suggestions, since this is a site of support, motivation and the thirst for weight loss knowledge?

http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:http://www.ambafrance-do.org/weight-loss/13569.php this is the best way to explain why we don't lose, or plateau after along time on a weight loss plan! What i need other then exercising myself to death with my aching back issues is there no way to burn fat cells without sacrificing my daily calories...and end up right back where i started at the plateau!

This is a my maintenance peek of the future!

Well it isn't an AAA but this is what my analysis looks like at 1626 calories!

Breakfast: I started my day with a protein shake since i was going out for the day (250 cals.) for just under 2 cups once blended

1 full hard boiled extra large egg, which i rarely eat, usually only the white part! (90 cals.)

That was breakfast..........and am content!

Next.......My lunch.........water...........iced tea..........diet pepsi (first one in months).....it was hot!  Since i was on the golfing range this was enough! Still full from breakfast!

Now Dinner i started with a store bought (25 cals.) per Tbsp balamic dressing on a medium sized salad, (sodium is the only thing i hate with my calorie wise option...(hate making my own so time consuming i would be spending all day making dressings and they don't have a long shelf life in the fridge? with mixed spring lettuce greens with fresh cherry tomatoes (love cherry tomatoes)

I also had a 1 cup bowl of my new version of  potato salad  (slightly altered) to my taste, added tomatoes...yummy which is a nice change! (182 cals for 236g)

And hour later and still ravenous ...lol ..from my 10m bike ride and 3 hours of golfing at the range and of course walking back and forth several times (1000 yds for pee breaks and 3 baskets of golf balls.........

.....I had a small 100g leftover homemade extra lean cheeseburger from my habachi last night total calories in that with bun and 1/2 slice processed ()cheese (300 calories), this is what i always make when i do eat burgers maybe once a week! Kyle loves my homemade burgers!

For Snacks  i had my dreamwhip (6 Tbsps= 50 cals.) to go with the strawberry cheescake (130 cals.) pudding, and 1 strawberry jello (5 cals.)

Now for my little cheat 30 smarties (140 cals.) and 3 - 20g of cadbury minis at (20 cals ea) total (60 cals.)

Now that i haven't been deficiting this... would be pretty much a typical day in My home...for a summer hot day not wanting to heat up the kitchen by cooking in the oven.......i do like easy fast healthy quick meals, some that i can freeze but it isn't always easy with a picky son...so it would come down to cooking 2 separate meals all the time....not blxxxx likely!  So i do watch the fat, protein, sodium, sugars, carbs, cholesterol and fiber...When i see one thing high then the next day i try to counter that particular item like sodium high today try for lower tomorrow same principal all around...

As i always say "EVERYTHING IN MODERATION"..........and if i don't enjoy my eating part of life by some of the little treats daily what's the point of living...that's my belief and it's in my journal...so i can say it too!  Without judgement! hehehe. I mean i enjoy eating.....that's the bottom line, but i do try to eat healthy...hence the vegetable soup i had about a week ago for 7 days, the high fiber stews i make which might be my next big batch, i like batch cooking and freezing so it frees up my time to do other enjoyable things, i am a single mom and i really don't want to spend my whole life in the kitchen, i want to get out and enjoy living again..with or without a man!!

Not hearing anything since his brief note i say without seems more likely!

So here is my analysis.......remember maintenance only not calorie deficiting i am being honest i can't always get an AAA but i do try most days!  Tomorrow more vegetables and fresh fruits bought strawberries but today was out and tired when i got home from the hot sun!

C+..................C+

Fat - 30.8% (56 grams)
Protein - 26.4% (107 grams)
Carbohydrates - 42.8% (174 grams)
Alcohol - 0.0%
Other - 0.0%

Daily Sodium Intake - 2,477 mg
Daily Sugar Intake - 87 grams
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 614 mg
Daily Saturated Fat Intake - 25 grams
Daily Fiber Intake - 13 grams

Tomorrow i will promisemyself to get my fiber up, which usually is, and get my chol, sodium, fat, down!!  But if i do follow my usual plan of moderation it always balances out throughout the week!!!!!!!!!!!!!..It is going to rain again..............darn it all...2 nice days and rain....i hate rain....so i need to do a good indoor workout tomorrow!

I am depressed today, i am so emotional in taking everything to heart..heart...heart!  I will miss the good parts, the history it would have been a year on June 28th that i met Rick on Yahoo personals, maybe in a couple weeks or month when i have cleared my heart from all chances of him every contacted me and trying to work on this relationship by then i will have accepted it's over and can move on....i know with my disability and financial situation and age it is going to be very hard to meet someone who can accept my limitations i quess that is why it ws so easy with RIck i knew he was no PRIZE in some respects but........then neither am I....i just can't contact him and that wil be hard i will have a weak moment (please pray i can be strong this time) as times passes the urge to do just that will grow stronger....and stronger..No i can't bend my principals and values....i just have to keep telling myself i DESERVE better.  WHy do these men always seem so nice at the beginning and then they finally let me see who they truly are....what am i gonna do with my summer now?........i guess loneliness isn't so bad!  Who am i kidding...I do have my Kitty and Kyle i suppose but it just isn't the same, well i will have to find something to do with those weeks i was to be with Rick from July15th-July28th (Kyles court date is the 28th and from July18 he is going to his dads, the Barrie festivals, Kempenfest, ribfest, the beach, golfing, etc now i have no golfing partner? I am just feeling sorry for myself now!  I don't know what i am feeling?  Lost in emotional waves here..snap out of it girl!  Am i a nice person? do i even deserve happiness, people on the site have been talking about being here for a purpose i always thought mine was to see how much unhappiness, (punishment), misery.. one human being can suffer before snapping??!!I am serious!  Just when a little sunshine of happiness sneaks through the door something always screws it up? Quite a wall i have built around myself, a fortress of emptiness, i have 0 friends, no family, a dad who is to busy with his own life to want any part of mine, nothing but my son and my cat...how pathetic i am, i don't care anymore...i really will just have my CC buddies and waste away my life watching tv and wishing i had the life of everyone else....for anyone reading this please i beg you please don't criticise me i don't think that is helpful to me, support or wise old owl wisdom is apprecitated but not criticism...i am sore today from doing weights last night, and i am sick of this weather cloudy cool crap....!! it really does affect my mood....so now my summer plans are screwed...i sound like it's over with Rick i might as well accept it he did say after in IM that he didn't understand me and was deleting me well fine............i quess that's why i wrote the letter we always did misunderstand one another, certainly wasn' because i didn't try to.............anyway!...now what!Get on with it, i am going to have a beer and drown my sorrows in my sad music! Maybe a good cry will help me feel better, i don't know.....grr geez now i don't even feel like doing that, now i know i am pathetic if i don't even want a cry or beer or listen to my tons of music??

I know a music project and i can write into my autobiography..there have 2 things to do with my time...woohoo a plan gotta love it!..ahh yes a project!

Rick is getting a rude awakening!!
Jun 10 2009 14:52

I was up last night, tossing and turning on the couch and decided i have had enough...grrr so i got on the computer at 2am and wrote a 4 page email to Rick, i held nothing back so i don't expect to hear from him again, unless he admits he was wrong and that isn't likely...i didn't say goodbye but i did point out all the things i don't like about him, and the way he has been treating me or making me feel more accurately, his bossy ways, his cold, impatient attitide with me, treating me inferiour just because i don't make money and am on disability, i knew this would play a part......says i play my music to loud, like once a month i listen to it...wow, wants me to do this, do that, never invites me out but will go drinking to his buddies or brothers (same distance) all the time, i always feel second best with him, and i shouldn't be second best, i want a man who puts me above al else is that to much to ask for??....i guess the final blow was all along i thought he was doing these little things for us, buying the golf coupon book, the ATV but he didn't buy any of these things for us, he bought them for him and his friends and the ATV he bought he is keeping and selling the other one which was the one i was riding, so all those good natured things weren't for us together to be shared.....We always have misunderstandings, on the p.c. and i have time and time again said we need to sit down and have a good long talk.....never happens, he always puts everyone else ahead of us....always...i can't get involved in a relationship like 2 ships passing in the night.  I want a man who pays attention to me, and certainly not one who thinks he has the right to tell me how to act around his friends? what the hell...grrrr who the hell does he think he is...god?  He was going to buy a bike rack for his truck and now expects me to pay for half..i don't know if he is kidding or serious half the time this is how little we really know each other, and it isn't for lack of trying on my part, pay for half of his bike rack, you have got to be kidding, and this is the guy who says he is looking at buying a $235,000 house in the country and he wants my money to buy a $185.00 rack i can't afford to do it...i have my visa to pay off!  What does he want from me, or expect from me, i truly don't understand him at all, and he says the same about me.  He is a cold man and keeps telling me he has a good heart, yes but it seems only where the pocket book is involved, yes he bought me golf shoes, and last year used golf clubs, i didn't ask him for any of this stuff, nut i guess he is trying to buy my friendship or love, oh he won;t say the word love he says he want s to be friends best freinds but i don't see how when we really don't know each other and rarely spend anytime together...gggg not for lack of tring on my part!...as for the golf clubs and shoes i do appreciate them but the golf book wasn't for us and he is always playing with his friends not golfing with me!  I just feel i am always taken second place when it comes to his dam friends.  That's another thing he keeps saying he wants to start as friends but treats me like a girlfriend, always wondering where i am who i am with etc...i never go out much so he naturally assumes if i am not home i must be with some guy, he teases me about it but i know he is serious, wheres the trust, boy his ex sure did a ## on him, he always teases me about this and i am getting tired of reasuring him there is noone else.  Just to many assumptions, judgements on his part, i am tired of it!  So i wrote him a 4 pager and laid all these feelings out to him!  On saturday he really hurt my feelings and the cold bastard said nothing about it when i was at his place asked him while his brother and his brothers wife were there if he wouldn't mind while they are there turning off the tv it was 6:30pm and his hockey game didn't start til 8pm he said "no" he is very stubborn...to much, no compromise, from him boy...and he piped up and said "it's my way or the hwy" what a thing to say to me, well you know i am sensitive girls...that really hurt my feelings and this gloom and doom man really hurt me by rubbing his home, his stuff etc in my face, he says things when i suggest helping him around his home to clean or garden whatever "i'll do it when I want', don't tell me what to do?", i wasn't telling him i was offering my help this is what i mean.  Always takes me the wrong way?  This line he said "My way or the hwy" theres no compromise in that?  So i went outside and actually shed a couple tears...i couldn't believe he would talk to me this way!  I thought if he came out to apoligize or to at least see where i went that there might be a chance but he didn't CARE, and that told me something right there and then..........i can't handle anymore cruel, cold hearted men in my life, so i think it's over...yes it hurts like hell, will i ever find happiness....i had such fun saturday over at Max and Mitzys place, beautiful home and horses etc but Rick and that dam beer and mj he is different, not really but then much much later after his brother left then i see a kindness! we were watching the movie with Kevin Costner "message in a bottle" and i had fallen asleep but when i woke up on the couch and he was on the other couch we started pillow talking and it was nice, but those times are far and few between.  I am so confused, i really don't know what i want anymore, but happiness as a result of kindness, gentleness, tenderness is up near the top of my list......He always misunderstands me and visa versa...i just always believed in working out my problems that's how I was raised, where Rick he quits, or runs from his, ignors it or doesn't want to talk about it...i don't see any real future unless he makes the next step, but opening up the communication doors which i have begged and begged is something we have needed to do since day 1!!  I mean he plans his holidays with me in mind, he does do some sweet things and then the 'bear' comes out.  he has no faith in me, to get along with his friends, to have any intelligence of my own, for gods sake he puts me down...i am an intelligent, caring, kind, woman who has offered to help him get his house neat and fixed up, but why should i undertake something this big when clearly he looks down his nose at me, he is no better then me, but he thinks because he makes more money he has the right to talk and treat me like this...........why did i stay in this so long, or maybe i am not thinking clearly right now, i am very very tired!  I just don't know anymore, but the 4 pager said it all anyway...His stubborness, impatience even with the ATVing the other day and it was my first time and expected me to drive it through the mud just like him first time out, i zoomed by him on the roads so i don't know....i know one thing i took 9 years of abuse from Brian and i will never go through this again....this man is emotional fuxxxed!  I wil never find happiness with a man!

Kyle just walked through the door!!, released own recog.
Jun 09 2009 18:05

I couldn't believe he went to court, i thought to set a date and they released him i didn't even have to be there they released him had a good judge who let him go, woohoo, i was so shocked, when he came galloping through the door and now he has gone to tell his best buddy he is out, so we had a talk about things and he is no worse for wear, his court case will be or at least a posting of date on July 28th so until then he can go back to school etc....phew...man was i shocked???but happy!

Men, Kids and supposed friends, i can't take anymore!
Jun 09 2009 12:47

I can't function today i am to upset with Rick, Kyle, life in general!

Would someone please talk with me i feel so alone??????????and confused??

Lord just take me already, noone bloody cares anyway! Noone!.

The weekend saturday with Rick i mean it started off well, atving and meeting his family and friends but today seems like crash and burn, he is a hard man, i am crying because he tells me to grow up because i am upset about my son, and the fact i wanted to see him today, Rick i mean, it was hard to stay away from the courthouse today since they have to drive Kyle 123 miles from Cobourg to Barrie in cuffs no doubt, and then HIS son calls and off he goes....am i being selfish or juvenile he says he doesn't understand me well frankly i don't understand him, his cold streak bothers me alot, i am very sensitive to this stuff, after the marriage i just went through in 1991-2000 i don't like people bossing me around, he does, doesn't even realize it or care it seems or he would stop, or try too, at his place on saturday his brother and wife were over and he said after i asked him to turn off the tv he says "my way or the highway" grrrr i was upset and went outside hoped he would come out to talk to me ...he didn't then he talks about things we are going to do together "if we had a farm someday" yea right!...i am just fad up with cold hearted men and he says he has a good heart...why just because he buys me things? I didn't ask him to and i am not going to feel obligated either, he doesn't want sex he says he wants to start as friends now, after we already went to bed together last year, he couldn't perform?..i just don't understand him at all? The last thing he said to me today on Instant messaging was have a good life he is deleting me!  nice fxxx guy i picked..........grrr  I'm so depressed, crying fad up, the hell with this life.  Needless to say with my son now in he jail youth centre in Cobourg Ontario, i could have seen him in the court and didn't......my 6 lbs weight gain in a week since "Maintenance" huh...i just don't think i can take any more...my heart is broken and i am just going to crawl into my hole now for awhile. Now i really feel alone, no friends out here, no family, no boyfriend, no son, just Angel!  Lord take me away from this torture...Bye

Kyle got arrested again! Breach for the 4th time!
Jun 05 2009 15:27

This is Kyles 4th breach within the 15 month probation he is on, the probation would have been all over Aug13/09 but no he had to go and be on the property of "Bikeland" where he was not suppose to be! so 3 police came knocking on my door this morning, at 9am!, looking for him of course at 17 yrs old he was in grade 10 and at school!  I don't know what i am going to do with him, he has been impossible, and very difficult his ADHD is under control but this is attitide pure and simple.  He doesn't CARE, why should I, i really feel like this sometimes...I am so upset cause this will ruin all our plans, summer is coming he was to go be with his dad in Quebec first of all for part of July now he won't be going, he won't be allowed out of Ontario, i have plans with Rick, now that's up in the air....i am crying,it isn't fair,  i am angry this will be the second summer Kyle wil spend partly in Jail...he talks to me like crap, swears, never eats the meals i prepare, doesn't clean his room, brush his teeth or even shower without me nagging him too, he has no self respect for himself and clearly the way he talks and treats me, none for me either!  I am lost as to what to do, i know some will say "tough Love" i should let him find his ouwn lawyer and make all the arrangements too, instead of coming to me and me doing it for him like the last time, but last time i wouldn't go to court to bail him out and won't this time either but school?....a real hard dose of tough love, but i love my son so very much, and everytime i walk past his room i start to cry.....!!  How stupid can he be, he will one day look back at his youth and realize he HAD NONE!  All the times i have been in that courtroom with him in the last 5 years...he just doesn't get it, and i am worried that Rick wil not want to date me or be around me if i have such a problem son too!  I have put my life on hold for Kyle and this is the thanks i get, more headaches, anguise, and worry!

Mischievousness, theft, break and entry, breach of probation this will be #4, of course this charge is (breach only)and all over going on property that he was not suppose to be on, the original charges were B&E at bikeland, and stealing a $900.00 bike bringing it home here, the female cop came and got the bike but the second charge was breaking the supers window in anger but this was because he was on bad medication for his ADHD then and breach (being of good behaviour...NOT) huh good luck! so he also, in charge #2-3 was for going into junk yards and taking things, bike parts, or scooters stuff, breaking into junker cars, breaking the windows, lighting matches setting things on fire, breaking glass etc... things he does bullying other kids sometimes, he doesn't know how to talk to people he really doesn't, this has always disturbed me he has social disability skills, breaking other kids toys, look at the trouble he has caused me around the building here, he broke the supers car SUV window last May which is one of the reasons i had last year received the N5 eviction notice, of course if you cease and desist in doing whatever you got the notice 4 within 7 days you don't have to move, which i didn't so i don't.  He had 30 days in jail and 25 hours community service which he did (i had to remind and push him out the door to do that too) (i am suprised he can wipe his own axx), but had a hard time obeying rules and listening to the boss (talks back) is lazy, at the store he had to work at (thift store) I keep a beautiful, clean, neat and organized home, i am respectful of my neighbours and helpful with the community property and garden, I don't need this....tongues will be wagging i bet over this, Tyler his best friend will be moving in 3-4 weeks and will probably miss seeing him off to the east coast.  I will lose the extra income that his presence generates but the isn't any concern to me, i will save 400/month on food.lol..i will miss him, i have loved him, guided him, taught him, giving him no chores other then the responsibilities for his room but i had giving him pretty much his curfewed freedom, considering he was doing well in school (for him this is great) and i thought keeping his nose clean, but the police wouldn't let me deal with the matter considering it was caught on video tape on the property of Bikeland.  All he ever does is work on his bike, bring home stuff and when i ??? him about where he got it from i get "good will" well obviously he was lying...the officer didn't say anything about theft...just breach (being on the property) so i have had it.........i don't know what i am going to do..i really don't. 

I am on a fixed income, so i can't afford any shrinks, that wouldn't do any good anyway...he is just going to have to LEARN THE HARD WAY, THAT's ALL!! But i feel so bad i wanted to take him with Rick to see grandad in July now that's ruined, we were going do some nice things this summer together it's all ruined, i am really worried about his education more then anything, he has 2 weeks left of school and will miss the exams...so i am to call the vice-principal back and see what she has to say about it all next tuesday..........everything is up in the air........and i can't reach Rick i really need a shoulder right now!  When things like this happen........I feel so very alone!  So.........?

Girls if you are out there i could really use your guidance, moral support  more then anything, and a shoulder to cry on when i need too!!..PLEASE!!

BEB: Who cries everytime i walk by Kyles empty room, and poor Angel will miss his daddy??!

Well if you see my thread comments you'll know why i am throwing caution to the wind, is that the right line??

Many people, in an effort to lose weight quickly, tend to cut calories drastically without having a base plan to follow. This is one of the major reasons many people dieting suffer from a slow metabolism. When you drastically slice calories below your maintenance, your body tries to conserve every last bit of energy for survival. When this happens, the glycogen stores become depleted and your body will oxidize protein for energy!! So this is why i am not losing and my metabolism is slow............so i am going maintenance for awhile to try and build up the BMR to 17-1800 then once its burning better, i will try deficiting again!!

I went a little above board this evening i had 42g of my mini cadburys, and 2 chocolate puddings with dreamwhip!  oops i was so good but am going maintenance!

Fat - 28.3% (64 grams).............i know and don't care tonight!!
Protein - 17.2% (88 grams)
Carbohydrates - 54.5% (278 grams)....same as above^^^^^
Alcohol - 0.0%

Daily Sodium Intake - 2,307 mg......same as above^^^^don;t care
Daily Sugar Intake - 162 grams................^^^^^
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 147 mg...........^^^^^^
Daily Saturated Fat Intake - 25 grams
Daily Fiber Intake - 33 grams

Maintenance to increase my BMR to a decent level not 1200 that's for sure, 1200 should never be my maintenance level when it should be 1660...........so anyway..........???

Hows this for AAAA Accuracy!!!!!!!!!!!! eh girls?
Jun 03 2009 21:00

Well this soup is keeping me content,  woohoo! i am having my protein shake 2 scoops of whey today, (usually only have 1 but protein analysis calls for it today) and tomorrow i go biking so i want to be sure to have my proteins in!  so i am going to ride my bike tomorrow and my stationary a little tonight to get the endorphines popping!!!!!! and weights, and then back to my shows!

My protein shake consists of 1/2 cup 2% milk, 1/2 cup vanilla 0 fat yogurt, 1 Tbsp cocoa, and 1 scoop of whey protein at 24g each and 250 cals.  The total of my shake normally is 250 cals today is was 370! as i added 1 extra scoop! to get my protein level up to a desent level!

1223 calories

2 scoops whey protein (usually only 1, but had to meet requirements)

3-2cup bowls of my veggie soup

1 60g roll with margarine

2 egg whites

21g cabury mini chocolates

240g strawberries with dream whip

1 strawberry cheescake pudding

30g fontina cheese

handful of potato chips

Thats all she wrote!!

According to the net for my age, and 1200 calories i take in daily approx. the BLUE besides the amounts below are what i should be getting daily!!!!!!

Fat - 25.4% (35 grams) .....40g
Protein - 23.8% (73 grams)....90g
Carbohydrates - 50.8% (156 grams).....180g i thought it was 120g but they say 180g
Alcohol - 0.0%
Other - 0.0%

Daily Sodium Intake - 1,994 mg.....1550mg this is not accurate because the listing for salt in the soup is higher here CC did not have a lite beef broth but that IS what i used a lite so the sodium here should be lower!!
Daily Sugar Intake - 82 grams.....40g...cannot help this?????
Daily Cholesterol Intake - 123 mg......150mg
Daily Saturated Fat Intake - 16 grams....spot on at 16g
Daily Fiber Intake - 21 grams.....20-35g

Well i just love this soup, and when it's gone i don't know what to do next, i am so compulsively concerned about everything that goes in my mouth, well almost i still have my cheats but at least i am controlling them and not binging like i was!  This is a major step for me girls especially if you remember my binges, way over board like 3000 extra calories in A COUPLE DAYS....so this is a huge achievment for me!

What do i eat after my soup is gone...hmmmm??  I have a full fridge and freezer, i love salads but hate having to make dressings, but will come up with one.....!
