1 month gone & impatience!

Well, it's been one month since I started reallly trying to lose my
pregnancy weight! I started at 208.5 and am now 193! So 15.5 pounds
gone in 1 month, which sounds awesome! I've been running 3 times a
week and recently increased my run to 5.2 km from 3km (about 45 minutes
from 27). I'm also going to the gym 3 x a week for 20 minutes of
cardio and an intermediate split routine from stumptuous. My average
day is about 25% fat, 35% protein and 40% carbs, is this a good ratio??
I am eating between 1500 and 1700 calories a day and still
breastfeeding with great success!!

Does it sound like I am eating right and getting enough exercise?

I don't know why I'm so impatient. I still feel pretty badly about
myself and dislike my body. I still lack energy at the end of the day.
I know I can't lose weight much faster then I am but I just want it
gone. I can I get rid of this feeling of impatience? I guess I just
wait it out another month and see how much weight I lose?

My short term goal is 175lbs, 18 pounds to go!

It sounds like you're doing fantastic so far. If it's working for you then
don't change a thing. The impatience is normal. Don't let it drive you to
doing anything silly.

It is awesome! ) The longest journey starts with the first step.

Don't we all. If you stick with the diet and exercise one day it will be
GONE.

I can I get rid of this feeling of impatience? I guess I just

Even if it's half what you already lost, DO NOT GIVE UP!

My short term goal is 175lbs, 18 pounds to go!

Good work.

So 15.5 pounds
gone in 1 month, which sounds awesome! I've been running 3 times a
week and recently increased my run to 5.2 km from 3km (about 45 minutes
from 27).

Be careful. Running is an impact activity.
Nothing slows progress and lowers morale
like an injury. Think through any increases
in exercise volume carefully. Consistency
is most important. Better to stay at a
lower volume consistently and happily than
to increase it and end up injured or burned
out.

I'm also going to the gym 3 x a week for 20 minutes of
cardio and an intermediate split routine from stumptuous.

Excellent.

My average
day is about 25% fat, 35% protein and 40% carbs, is this a good ratio??

It works for me.
I started out with low carb to curb hunger,
curb cravings (for more than just food),
and get my dieting head together. Low carb
is good that way as it makes it possible
to back away and see the big picture as far
as ones consumption of all things is concerned.
I lost a lot of weight and spared a lot of
muscle without doing anything more than walking.
When one has a lot of fat to lose, that's all
that's necessary. It's easy and comfortable.

However, after awhile, my body had adapted to
low carb and walking. I had to figure out where
to go next. It was troubling to discover that
low carb and walking wasn't going to take me
all the way home.

To shake things up I went from one extreme to
the other, from low carb to low fat. That really
did shake things up. At times it felt like I
was on a drug. Mildly light headed, mild
confusion, a bit giddy, hungry most of the time;
I felt all of those things during that period.
I gained back the water and glycogen weight that
was much of the initial loss when I began low
carbing.

At that point I transitioned back to low carb to
see if cycling back and forth would help me
achieve a new low weight and bodyfat percentage.
It worked. I also discovered that I didn't have
to go all the way back to strict low carb to keep
progressing. That was great news as it allowed
for a much wider range of dietary choices.

That's where I'm at now. My diet most of the time
is around 30-40% carb, 30-40% protein, and 30-35%
fat. I decreased the walking and rediscovered an
old friend: weight/resistance training. With a
moderate carb intake I can go at it pretty hard
in the gym. But again, one has to be careful.
I been working with good intensity and working
especially hard to bring my back up. I was making
good progress until the pain began. At first it
was just a hardly noticeable dull ache in the middle
left of my back. I ignored it. Working through it
made it worse. It got to the point where sharper
pain would come and go throughout the day. Sometimes
the pain was enough to distract me from activities
where I was focused. So, finally I had to give in to
it and lay off the training. I made that decision
5 days ago. Today will be the third session that
I'll have missed. It's difficult to stay away when
I was making such good progress. The good news is
that my back is getting better. The pain has
decreased back to the dull ache stage. There are
no more distracting stabs. Hopefully in a couple
of weeks I'll be virtually pain free and can begin
stretching and training again. I picked up some
back pain books at the library. When I'd normally
be headed for the gym I instead walk to a park and
read a back pain book. The moral of the story is:
make exercise decisions carefully and be thankful
for what you can do and the fact that you're making
progress. Rushing it may just lead to a setback.

I am eating between 1500 and 1700 calories a day and still
breastfeeding with great success!!

Excellent.

Does it sound like I am eating right and getting enough exercise?

Yes, very much so. The only thing I'd suggest is
that with the running try to be as much in tune with
your lower body as possible. By that I mean take
time to really feel your feet, ankles, knees, hips
and associated muscles and connective tissues. Are
there any feelings of pain, stiffness, looseness,
clicking, or anything weird at all? And even if
there isn't, what would you do if there was?
That's a sobering question that can help temper
ones exercise decisions. Consistency is more
important than trying to figure out what might be
optimum.

I don't know why I'm so impatient.

Neither do I. As time goes by your progress will
slow and you'll look back on this and laugh at how
ridiculous it was to not be anything but absolutely
ecstatic at this point in the adventure.

I still feel pretty badly about
myself and dislike my body. I still lack energy at the end of the day.
I know I can't lose weight much faster then I am but I just want it
gone. I can I get rid of this feeling of impatience? I guess I just
wait it out another month and see how much weight I lose?

Think about what it's going to be like when your
loss rate is averaging a half pound a week or less.
Start working on your coping and consistency
strategies. When dieting/exercise are working
at a good clip, impatience is indicative of an
upcoming consistency/compliance problem. Look
at the big long-term picture and figure out
what you're willing to do as far as diet and
exercise for the rest of your life. Get ready
for the bad times and realize that these are
the good times.

My short term goal is 175lbs, 18 pounds to go!

Good luck.

Thanks Bill!

I was running 10 km 3 times a week when I found out I was pregnant so I
really felt it was time for me to increase my distance. I started out
at 3 km in 36 minutes, worked down to 3 km in 27 miinutes so just
started going around the block instead of up the street and back. It
includes 3 big hills whereas my 3km run is all flat.

I've always had a clicky left knee. It's worse when I don't exercise
but so far there is no pain... Is this something to be concerned about
I wonder?

If you've always had it and it isn't getting worse,
then it's probably okay. Keep a sharp eye out
for any form of degeneration. Not just with the
knee but period. The benefit of exercise is not in
the doing--it's in the systemic reaction to it.
The act of exercising is a stimulus. The beneficial
response to it comes over the 2 days to 2 weeks
following the act. Any reaction during the act
is usually negative (some type of injury or pain
brought on by overuse/degeneration). Optimizing
the benefit of exercise is a tricky proposition
in that finding the critical balance between exercise
volume, intensity and recovery ability is difficult.
Everything is fine as long as recovery ability is
in the lead. When ones exercise outpaces their
recovery ability degeneration begins.

My understanding also is that women who continue running during their
pregnancies have shorter less painful labours. But you need to watch out
for overstretching youself because birth hormones begin to make all your
ligaments softer and more stretchy. You don't want to overdo it.

day is about 25% fat, 35% protein and 40% carbs, is this a good ratio?

If it works for you it is good for you. Don't imagine that there is
any
such thing as a percentage that is good for everyone. There isn't.
It's not even likely there is a percentage that is good for even one
person. More than one mixture of fuels works.

I am eating between 1500 and 1700 calories a day and still
breastfeeding with great success!!

Does it sound like I am eating right and getting enough exercise?

Somewhere in that range should be fine.

I don't know why I'm so impatient.

There's never been a starting dieter in history who was patient,
near as I can tell. it goes with the territory.

I still feel pretty badly about myself and dislike my body.

The road to self inflicted sabotage. Step number one in advice
on ASD is "fix your head". Statements like this is what that
advice is about.

I can I get rid of this feeling of impatience?

At some point it becomes about keeping it off and patience stops
being an issue. Between now and then impatience equals a
temptation to quit equals gaining it all back. Of course, once
patience stops being an issue there's still the temptation to go
back to eating the old way and gain it all back.

Have you noticed how rare the temptation to quit brushing your
teeth happens? Brushing teeth doesn't trigger the same issues
as eating, but the new eating habits have to become like that.
