G'day everyone from downunder!!
I had a protein shake for a snack this morning. I did a Body Step class for 1 hour and straight after that I did a 1 hour Body Pump class so I have eaten a sough dough sandwich of lettuce, tomato, swiss cheese, salami and hommuos spread.
Tonight I will eat some chicken and vegetables, may be with 1/2 cup brown rice.

Yesterday:
Dinner: more of Mexican dish (400 Cal)
Total: 2150 Cal. Yikes went over by about 400 Cal yesterday.  Sometimes it is hard to avoid when somebody else fixes the food though.
Today:
Breakfast: whole wheat bagel with honey peanut butter and 8 ounces of apple juice (400 Cal)
Glovia, I buy the honey peanut butter already mixed together. The brand is Peter Pan and I love it!

I just had a most enjoyable lunch of stir fried red cabbage accented with bacon crumbles. Never made that before and I'll certainly be adding it to the line-up. Once in a while, I just gotta have some bacony goodness.
Then I had a Fuji apple.

Oh, I forgot to say that I had some Reese's pieces eggs yesterday but I counted the calories in the piece of pie. Yesterday's lunch was just a really big estimate anyways.
Today:Snack: bowl of greens (100 Cal) I love greens!! I think maybe they have some kind of vitamin or something in them that I need more of because I really could eat a bowl of them every day for the rest of my life. mmmm

Mine may be a little bit better because my grandma grows it in her garden so it is really fresh when I eat it. I am super addicted to it. I always ask her to make it for me when I eat at her house. And then she sends me leftovers of course.

I love southern eating. I love corn bread, stuffed cabbage, pintos, greens, green beans, meatloaf, corn on the cob, chicken and dumplins, watermelon, I mean really the list could go on and on. My grandma is an amazing cook.
Lunch: (box lunch at meeting) small serving of pasta salad, fruit, 2/3 of my chicken salad sandwich that was actually on croissant (I'm thinking about 400 Cal, but it's a SWAG)
Snack: raisins (150 Cal)

I've always been bigger. Maybe not classified as being fat because I carry it pretty well. But, well, I'm fat. There's no fooling myself. In January, months of hard work paid off as my wife got pregnant with what will be our first child. I had been exercising a bit until that point, but I decided to ramp it up a notch and get my weight to where I can be healthy and be around a long time for my wife and kid.
I've been known to drop 40-50 pounds in 5 months or so on a few occasions, only to slowly gain that weight back over a couple years. This time is different. I know everybody says that and usually that statement doesn't come to fruit, but I've got that incentive...becoming a daddy.
Got a blog rolling- rokandroll.blogspot.com
I post on it a few times a week. Mostly fitness stuff. I try to be somewhat humorous. Check it out if you're REALLY bored.

Ohhhhh... the easter spread. I had a little bit of everything, so I had to stack items. Then I stacked those items down the gullet. Fat pants came back out of the closet.
I won't be looking at the scale until Thursday. That's for sure.
Today has been much better. Yogurt and granola, chicken nuggets and broccoli, lots of water and a couple cups of coffee.

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.

Have the raw oatmeal+applesauce as pre-workout meal this morning. It was recommended by the nutritionist. It was too plain. I think I will need more time to get used to it. Have a Dannon yogart as post-workout meal.
Lunch in Panera Bread. I have a half of sesame chicken salad, garden veggie soup and an apple.
Snacked a banana and half of the Alkins Advantage Chocolate Granola thru the day.
Dinner in Wholefood, a big leafy salad, grilled veggie and some chicken stew.
Everything were good and low carbs,.... except failed to a slice of pineapple pound cake after the dinner!

Mmm, I just enjoyed a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge spinach salad accented with roast turkey breast, grape tomatoes, feta, cucumber and garlic, tossed in an onion-soup-based dollup of lo-fat plain yogurt and a few cranks of fresh black pepper.
And now a nice cuppa.

Caffeine source: dt. mt. dew
Snack: raisins (150 Cal) - I was going to save this for after lunch, but I got hungry again.
Sometimes when I work out a lot, I get hungrier. If I eat as often as I'm hungry, will that make me maintain or is it good to eat when I get hungry?
