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.

Snack: 2 slices lunch meat and 3 cheese cubes (100)
Lunch: Cinco de Mayo lunch out with a group of people. I did eat some chips and salsa but really not too much. And my dish was super healthy. It was a salad with lettuce, peppers, tomato, a little cheese, avocado and grilled shrimp. Yum!! I'm gonna guess 450 Cal.

What's bialy?
I'm guessing it's something wonderful from Whole Foods; I really wish we had one of those around here!!!
Supper:
-- 3 homemade chicken strips (dipped in egg whites, then dipped in crushed whole grain crackers, sesame seeds, crushed almond slices, then browned in a pan with a bit of olive oil, then baked)
-- rice pilaf (or our version of it anyway: brown rice cooked in a low fat, low sodium broth, tossed in a non-stick pan with egg whites, and a mixture of sauteed broccoli/onions/mushrooms)
-- small salad (sweet butter lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, dried cranberries, toasted almond slices, no dressing necessary!)
Evening snack will be a 1/2 cup of fresh strawberries and blueberries!
Water: 3 litres (12 cups) total for the day.
A good day of eating!

I love to eat. Carbs is my weakness link that I always lose control in front of it.
I started running for fitness in 2007. Ever since I finished the 1st marathon (San Diego RnR 2007), I am addicted to running.
I started traineoing in Nov 2007. I have reached my goal weight in Jun 08 already. But, now, I don't care much about my weight. I care about it only if it affects my running performance.

B: Oatmeal (cooked)+applesauce 1/2cup
S: mini blueberry muffin 1, pear 1
L: Panera pick2(grilled salmon salad, turkey chickpea chilli soup), samples of tomato basil bread
S: baby carrots 200g, lowfat cottage cheese 1
Pre-WO+D:Oatmeal (Cooked), chicken 2 oz, apple 1
Post-WO:blackberries 100g, egg white 1, hard boiled egg 1
~1500cal
I gave myself B today: not enough protein in breakfast, mini muffin was a no no! Had an apple instead of leafy veggie was not very good also. But, I did not overeat like the weekend. Things are getting back on track this week.
Jen, I could not find 1 servicing cottage cheese in small container in Wholefood. But, I found it in another supermarket. It is Knusden. It tastes great and very filling also. I love it. The smoke turkey in the WholeFood deli is a bit dry for me. I think I will have to look for other alternative.
BTW, I have tried mixing the applesauce in cooked oatmeal. It tastes so good. I will try mixing cooked oatmeal with cottage cheese next time.

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they haev to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is NOTHING.
(I freakin LOVED that ad campaign)

laura-a bialy is like a bagel but thinner- i got it from the bagel store (all carbs!). do you have fairway or trader joes near you? it seems like you are doing really well w/o whole foods. you dont need whole foods to eat well at all. you can find everything you need at a regular supermarket.
glovia-im glad you liked the applesauce with the oatmeal; let me know if you like it with the cottage cheese; i never eat the turkey plain-i always put dressing or mayo on it. it would be too dry for me plain also. im surprised whole foods didnt have the cottage cheese but im glad you found it somewhere else. i guess every whole foods has diff choices. also, for protein i buy their whole chickens and you can ask them to cut it into quarters for you free of charge and they are seasoned or plain and you can have pieces of chicken ready to eat as well.

Newbie here. Thanks for this site, this forum, these folks! BTW, today is low-cal on purpose! 
(64 oz. H20)
b: yoghurt, nf milk, strawberry smoothie (150 kcal)
elevenses: a granola bar of some sort (150 kcal)
l: salad w/ spring lettuces, egg white, balsamic (50 kcal)
s1: went to Fresh Market and got "fixings" for a real smoothie: yoghurt, nf milk, GreensPlus, ground flaxseed, B complex, rice protein, melons (200 kcal)
s2: big fresh salad w/grated carrots, yoghurt + grey salt + balsamic dressing, spring lettuces, arugula (100 kcal).
Feel good despite super-dooper stress at work today--I think the B complex is helping, as will a yoga practice once I've digested a bit...

Jen, don't know why, I never like mayo. It is not really the taste. I just don't like the way it look on food. I think I will continue to look for low sodium deli meat for snack.
Today:
B: apple 1, oatmeal (cooked in water) 1/2 cup
S: baby carrot 200g, egg white 1
L: Panera pick2 (sesame chicken salad, turkey chickpea chilli), wholegrain baguette 2oz
S: banana 1, peanut butter 2 tsp
PreWO: oatmeal 1/3cup, peanut butter 2 tsp, some soybeans
PostWO+Dinner: Tuna 2 oz, blueberries 50g, orange 1, some soybeans
~1500cal.
I gave myself B today. I should have more leafy veggie in dinner.

In one word - I am an Unquenchable Optimistic!!
Im a phd student and have been traineoing for the past 8 months! I am in love with HIIT, dark chocolate, green tea and falling in love with more through this site!
I took a break from fitness for the past 2 months and now starting fresh to reach my goal.
I am doing my first walk marathon ( Avon walk for breast cancer- total 39 miles) this fall and have begun training for it. I am actively fundraising for this event. Please take a look at my page : -

Words to live by: "Now's the time to grab the steering wheel of your life. Delve deep within yourself and take responsibility for your health and behavior. Ask yourself hard questions and face the truth of what needs to be done. Weight loss is not always easy or fair but you are the only one that can lose weight for you. Take a turn for the better!"
Goals:
1) Lose ~45 pounds
2) Work out at least 6 days a week
3) Eat healthier consistently
I will reward myself at the following weights: 235, 230, 225, 220, 215, 205, 200, 195
I will reassess my goals after I have met the above goals.

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.
