About me:
---------------------------
I'm an architecture student at a great school.
After trial and error, managed to shed the pounds for real.
What I'm doing:
---------------------------
Portion control still a problem.
HIIT 2x/week
Starting weights 1x/week
I take stairs over escalator and elevator ALL THE TIME (I climb 6 sets of stairs minimum for the day at the metro 2-3floors?).
Extra note:
---------------------------
I finally understand what being fit means! And I actually love running now thanks to HIIT.
Goal: lose the belly fat! My problem area.
First goal: 120lbs - MET
2nd goal: 116lbs - MET
3rd goal: 112lbs ish with more muscle definition
Realizing I can't change the way my body stores fat and have a noticeable belly during the day (pic was morning with light breakfast after workout) I will work on making a stronger core to counter the pooch a bit
Dropped 1 pant size since last year (stable weight)
Dropped 2 pant sizes since mid-Summer after Greece (pastries=weight gain)

I too finished lunch.
Delicious summer veggie salad (peppers, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, etc)
Little scoop of healthy mashed potato (home made)
3-4 pieces of red meat turkey with small amount of homemade gravy.
It was Saturday night's leftovers.

For dinner tonight I made my No-Cream Alfredo over white beans, with turkey breast and a lil, (for me, more for Hub), whole wheat pasta. Washed down with a small glass o' Reisling.
And another Pink Lady for dessert.

I'm basically trying to get in shape and be healthy...
diaryofthefatman.blogspot.com
I like participating in sports but I want to be more competitive. Also I'm with Kevin Spacey from American Beauty - good reason :)
I'm looking to lose about a hundred lbs in the course of a year, and basically to just consistently get better. And I love comments and messages, so keep 'em coming!
I talk about goal setting a lot, how about I actually set some?
Well it's time to revisit goals... I didn't do too well with my end of year plans, but learned some things and changed my plans up a bit as I went along. During the 5-7 weeks of the year, I was able to put on about 8-10lbs of muscle, and stay at the same actual weight. The plan is to start the Strong Lifts 5X5 program to supplement the Couch to 5K program, and that should last the next 8-12 weeks.
I'm updating goals as well. Lowering cholesterol remains a goal, and I'll find out about that at the end of August.
Been bouncing around a bit, but getting a little stricter again and will monitor that over the next 3-4 weeks. I feel poised to really lose some weight again, so I'm looking forward to the healthy eating and additional exercise.

# Posted: 1 Oct 2007 21:00
I was oversnacking this afternoon! couple servings of dry roasted peanuts (unsalted) and a small apple... for lunch though i made a casserole w/ ground turkey, white and pinto beans, pearl barley, kale, broccoli and zuchini (something I can pack up and eat all week).

One Year 19 Lbs lost.
For December 07 to December 08 the job is to lose another 17 lbs.
--
Coming up for nearly a year of Traineo. 22 lbs lost, 13 to go!
What a year! I want to thank Traineo and it's members, and my doctors and friends, and gym, and my walking and running training partner -- my dog -- who all have have been a big part of my recovery from a bad case of pneumonia last August, from high blood pressure in May and June, and support through herniated cervical discs in July August and the present.
Somehow, its been possible to keep the faith and keep going through the neck and arm pain, but even on some of those bad pain days, getting the exercise at the gym, on a C25K run, on a bike ride, or in the surf helps make it bearable.
A year ago -- at least sports-wise, for life is altogether another thing -- I was losing my sense of identity as a surfer and windsurfer, gaining a sense of identity as a cyclist, a runner, 9 months later reentering the surf, losing my ability to ride ... things came and went between hospital visits.
At times, all those things were stripped away -- and just to be able to walk down the block was an accomplishment. There were recoveries and sometimes just advil and bullish efforts.
It's good to be back in the surf and on the bike sometimes, neck/shoulder/arm pain notwithstanding.
My thoughts go out to all those Traineo members out there fighting their own health and spiritual battles...you know we are here in this small way.

Leftovers:
A ceviche of leftover...
• charcoal-grilled Scottish salmon filet (from the weekend),
• chopped fresh cilantro,
• leftover finely chopped onions (from tacos the other day),
• lime juice
• DL Jardine's "Texas Champagne" hot sauce.
Leftover Greek salad and a stuffed grape leaf (from yesterday).
Some of those naughty, new tostitos 'flour tortilla' chips (0 trans fat).
Avoid these, because once you start on them you want to eat about 30.
The greek salad yesterday helped with the weight loss, so going back to that playbook today.

Just started Weight Watchers mid September, and I love it! It's simple and unrestricting. Gained 40lbs since I have been with my partner (5 1/2 years) and I want to look good for her again. Also I would like to be able to wear a bathing suit again, and NOT wear things that cover my little pudge pudge belly..

Quoting: drewba Minu-I like this thread, but eventually it's going to give me ulcers when I read what other people are eating. By the way, what the h is a pink lady? It's a kind of apple and they're sublime. They are sweet, but tart, the flesh is firm and crunchy, they are copiously JUICY and usually pretty sizable.
I think they were "born" in Australia a couple hundred years ago. GO AUSSIES, is all I can say about those lil balls of yum.

Pink Ladies are probably my fav apple! I haven't seen them consistently in the grocers here though... Lately I've been buying the 3lb bag of either jonas or galas and leaving it in the office - small apples and for only $2.99 it lasts all week+ and is a great snack.
All this talk about food and I'm ready to eat again, despite having breakfast 2hrs ago (omelette w/ 2 eggs, 1 white, spinache, salsa, topped w/ cottage cheese - yum!).

And yes, I'm sure glad the Ladieeees are around these parts right now.
My last nibble consisted of a bunch of in-the-shell peanuts, (about 20), a super fresh carrot and some surprisingly sweet strawberries, washed down with lots o' water.

I know I posted last on this thread, but dinner tonight was so YUM that I just had to share:
Home made whole wheat Roti bread topped with light cream cheese, red onions and smoked salmon, served with a loverly salad of Mache lettuce, (which is a lot like baby Watercress), with cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta, more red onion accents, lemon juice, a bit o' balsamic and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
We washed it all down with a couple flutes of "Cremant de Alsace", a lovely sparkling white wine from where else--Alsace.
IT WAS GOOOOOD.

I had the same lunch as I posted the last time, I had half a cinnamon bun (so you can work treats into your diet, just don't underestimate and compromise elsewhere)
and a small bowl of special K vanilla almond for breakfast.
plus I did a enjoyable HIIT run right after breakfast where I burnt more than I consumed.
GREAT DAY! and it's sunny out!!

I had the other half this evening :S I checked the calories, each bun is about 400 and I choose the ones with the least amount of frosting and the smallest.
So I had that split 200, 200, but omg was that 400 worth it!\
I'm having some for breakfast tomorrow morning can't wait to wake up!

If you can figure out how to do a reasonably authentic algerian/morrocan marga with vegetables and a little lamb, you are gonna make your cous-cous really happy.
the secret is in the spices, but it's not easy to duplicate.

Well, until a few years ago I could pretty much eat anything I wanted to without gaining a single pound. Sadly, this was not a good thing because I would eat all kinds of junk withough giving it any thought at all. Now that I am slightly older, (26), I have finally just started to really pay attention to what and how much I eat. Better late than never, I suppose. I actually find that I really enjoy healthy foods so much more than I ever enjoyed the junk that I used to eat. My problem now is working out. I just can't seem to EVER stick to a plan or routine...which is why I'm on this site. I have high hopes and I feel really good about it this time around.

Today was no doubt my best diet day in a while. This morning I had a mushroom & spinach omelet & whole wheat toast. Dinner was a huge victory for me... I actually went to McDonald's and didn't get a thing for myself! Breaking that addiction has been the hardest part for me so far and I feel like I finally did it. I didn't feel like cooking though, so I had a big, colorful salad and some cottege cheese with wheat crackers. I feel great!

Yum, warm 'nana-bread, (with bits of dark, melty chocolate toooo? ; )
The last thing I ate was a boneless, skinless chicken breast, tossed with sea salt, fresh pepper, garlic, dijon and a little smear of light cream-cheese.
Effective, but far from an adventure in culinary delight-ery--as was my incredibly lip-smackin' weekend with my gourmet in-laws.

A few ups and downs with the weight lately. Losing those last 10 lbs again now.
Revised fitness plan:
-some cardio EVERY day for a month to remove the revenge of the hip fat
-some weight training, some pilates
-I love biking and lots of fun summer sports! That's what it's all about-good times!
I will eat healthy foods and let my body weigh what it wants to weigh. I concentrate on whole grains, lean proteins, fruits and veggies, and I will eat delicious chocolate when I want to! Guilt has been removed from my vocabulary.
The wave of passion can be an unstoppable force.

Checking this thread always makes me hungry. Chocolate in your banana bread? I'm going to borrow that idea.
So far....coffee and, more coffee. Coming very soon....oatmeal and some strawberries.
The thought of in-laws always helps suppress my appetite!

I just realized I really need to start eating better breakfasts than making a fast food run after dropping the kids off at school. I didn't know how many calories there were in my Spicy Chicken Sandwich (with added cheese and tomato). I detest cereal, yogurt, and oatmeal. This is going to be one of my big challenges.
