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.

Quoting: nicholman wtf is that?
Right out of wiki- "a thin crispy moulded cookie apparently of Scandinavian origin"
A really thin and brittle piece of deep-fried dough shaped into a design and then coated in sugar. Really tasty while eating it. Not so good after.

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.

The obvious benefit is the price, which is why I use it. If you can find the version w/ 46g protein instead of the 52, it's actually pretty good. When they changed the formula, they apparently threw in a huge helping of ass.

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.

Quoting: Minu beautiful honey instead
Minu, how about brown sugar? Some web site should that 1tsp of honey has more cal than 1 tsp of brown sugar. I have never heard of "Steviva" and "Xylitol" . I will definitely check them out.
Quoting: rach_1623 George Foreman
Racheal, I have never used it. It sounds like a cooking device that filter the oil from food during cooking. Too bad, there is no Zaxby’s in CA. I always go to Panera Bread for lunch. I love their pick2 combo also. I normally choice grilled salmon salad and black bean soup. I like their asian chicken salad and turkey chickpea chili also
Quoting: nicholman hard boiling eggs
Dave, I have been eating tuna and hard boiled egg in order to build muscle per my nutritionist instruction. I am a little uncomfortable to have egg everyday. On the other hand, I like the yolk and feel a waste to trash it. Is tuna better than egg to you?

Pre-WO (am): raw oatmeal+ applesauce 1/2 cup
Post-WO(am)+breakfast: cottage cheese 1/2, pineapple 200g, apple 1
S: 2% fat milk 1
L: Chinese buffet (a lot of veggie ~2-3 cups, some bites and pieces of chicken/beef/shrimp ~3oz, wonton 2, almond cookies 2)
S: apple 1
Pre-WO(pm)+dinner: hardboiled egg 1, almond 1 oz, raw oatmeal+applesauce 1/2 cup
Post-WO(pm): strawberry 250g, deli ham 2
~ 1800cal
I gave myself C. Too busy at work today. The snack time was too far apart from the previous meal. The 2nd S did not contain protein. I control well in the CHN buffer (it was a welcome lunch for a new employee). But, I believed it has a lot of msg and unhealthy cooking oil.

Glovia, the GF is advertised specifically for draining the grease out of foods like hamburgers and such. If you click on the link and click on the pic for a bigger version, you can see how the grease drips down out of the burger into the little grooves then drips down into the tray. The little tray is usually about half full after hubby and I cook 3 or 4 turkey burgers. Then after it cools, it get all solid and gross, and I keep imagining that in my arteries. Ewww.
Yesterday:
Pre WO snack: protein bar (200)
Dinner: Fish Market - grilled sailor's plate with 2 fillets of some kind of fish, 2 shrimp, 2 scallops, and I only ate 1 of the oysters cause they're pretty gross. Also, a Greek salad with lettuce, peppers, tomato, olives, and Greek dressing. I ate 4 crackers and 1 hush puppy. (700 Cal - this is a guess)
Total: 1900 Cal, a little more than I was shooting for.
Today:
Breakfast: whole wheat bagel with crunchy honey PB (400)
Later today:
Snack: cheese cubes (100)
Lunch: whole wheat hot pocket and thing of yogurt (400)

Tonight for dinner I'll make us a massive spinach salad with sauteed garlic and onions, halved yellow cherry tomatoes, roasted almond shavings and crumbled feta in a classic balsamic/olive oil dressing. Then will come some whole wheat penne with chic peas in an arugula/padano pesto sauce. A nice lil bordeaux to wash it down.
Looking forward.

I picked up some EAS Whey protein that was on clearance at Walmart. Same size and a little cheaper than Body Fortress. They did have both the 46g and 52g version of Body Fortress there. I did pick up the Body Fortress shaker though. Maybe I will try Body Fortress next time.

Quoting: jenngetfit weird in what way curtis-good or bad?
I think in a good way. I don't get hungry as often...and I don't eat as much when I am hungry (those 2 bowls of cereal were after 15 hours of not eating). And my stomach doesn't like when I eat things that aren't healthy for me...so maybe that's my body's way of overriding my brain and saying it's time to get this diet in order? I dunno...we'll see what the effects are over the course of the week. Hopefully I can post a loss next week before people start catching up to me!!!

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.

I gave myself B today. Snack time has been too light and too far away from the last meal (too busy at work lately) But, I did try to have protein in each meal. I did not think I have enough veggie and too much friut serving though.
Fruits have more sugar content compared to veggie. I don't think it should replace veggie.

Success is not a race, be patient. Success leads to success. Success is always a work in progress. Success doesn't come to you--you go to it. Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process. Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it. Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying. Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED! If at first you don't succeed-try, try again
