I never tried muscle building, but I can only do low impact exercises. I contacted a dietitian; we were supposed to meet tomorrow but I had to change my appointment at the last minute. I can only see her on Mondays so hopefully I'll get that done first Monday in the new year.
I'm not a finicky eater but I have a sensitive stomach, and I get that 'full' feeling very quickly so I can't eat large portions, which is why the doctor advised that I break up my meal times in order to eat more. We generally eat 'healthy' stuff (no fried foods, little to no meat, no sodas, chips etc) at home so I'm just not used to eating fattening stuff. Most times I get to eat bacon/sausages only when I travel for work and eat breakfast at a hotel. If I do this for more than two days, my body (stomach actually) starts to revolt and scream for cereal (which is my regular breakfast). My husband doesn't eat pork, beef or chicken so that almost never gets cooked at home. He'll prepare it for me if I want it but I've always thought it made little sense to be constantly preparing two sets of meals.
I actually love butter but I eat little bread so ... Everybody tells me if I ate more bread I wouldn't have any trouble 
I must look into lifting weights, though. |
As you know I'm very limited on what I can eat. I live on grilled chicken and French fries. My breakfast is fiber cereal with 2% milk, 1 Kashi trail mix bar. Lunch is at half grilled turkey or ham panini and 1 kashi trail mix bar. Dinner is Micky D's grilled chicken club and French fries. Some nights he will bring in a roast beef and turkey sub from Jimmie John's. I sometimes snack on dried fruit and mixed nuts.
I can't have hamburger or pizza or Italian or Mexican food but he eats it all the time. I can't have chocolate or anything like that. Sometimes I can tolerate fresh veggies and fruits but not often. If I had my way about it I would eat them every day. My system is so sensitive to anything that taste good. lol
