Breakfast was sardines, smoked oysters (one of my last cans) and oats. Lunch was my usual with salmon, mussels, squid, smoked oysters and a crab cake.
Exercise was a 4 mile run before work and 50 minutes weight training before lunch.
I have a monster exercise regime coming up which I have never attempted before. I hope to run tomorrow morning, do weight training at lunch, do a hash run tomorrow evening and then do a run Friday morning followed by weight training Friday lunch. Having the runs so close together will be a challenge for me. But the weather is good and there will be good company.
And you know what I say about good company...
Well done on the day 2 of c25k kelijpa. The running will get you deep into the 150s. I can assure you of that! My only issue with running as a guy is that too much of it (like I do) burns muscle as well as fat if I am deep in deficit. And I do not like the skinny guy look. So I eat a lot and do weight training to compensate for that. Probably less of an issue for a pretty lady though!
Thanks for loving my username, @muguet! I'm a huge Potter fan :-)
Thanks for your support, @Diana3271. You're really good at maintaining this board!
So, yesterday was a good day. I did well. My eating was on track and I went spinning after work. I felt pretty good. Today was not so good. I got really upset early in the day (long story short, I was having terrible pain in my jaw, went to the dentist, found out I need a root canal because of a tooth I cracked from grinding my teeth at night) and I let it affect my choices. There was free Italian ice at work as a treat and I had some (to "soothe" my sore mouth--yeah right) and I made some other not so great choices too. I keep coming up with excuses for getting off track, but I know I have to just stick to my plan and push past bumps in the road. Having a bad day doesn't mean I have to eat poorly.
I'm planning ahead for tomorrow. Breakfast is never an issue for me since I always eat the same thing--eggs and fruit. It's always my healthiest meal of the day. I made a nice salad for lunch tomorrow and I have snacks ready. I'm defrosting salmon for dinner. Here's to a new day.
acciochocolate, I too am a big HP fan. Was hooked pretty early into book one. Although I could not read the last book. I sobbed too much at the end of book 6. Of course I saw all the movies. Sorry that you are in need of a root canal. I wish that resisting foods was not so difficult. But I know it is. Oh DO I know.
RadioJane Congratulations on the house
Diana thanks for the tumbs up on my planned meal tomorrow. I decided to exclude the hummus. And to change the refried bean dip to: refried bean soup with whole black beans added in to it. Caramelized onion and sauteed yellow, orange and red bell pepper in a nice big mound on top. ( and I do mean big) With Vermont tortilla chips for both soup and guacamole. Also I will serve that nice salad. With the lemon and coconut cream ice cream for dessert. I love cooking happy and interesting food. I hope Cody enjoyed his day today.
Novangel, when is your birthday? Cake and pizza. Sounds great. Especially the cake. Happy Birthday !!
Ian, I am in so much respect of your committment to exercising. you have great dicipline
Kelijpa: I want a veggie garden. But my condo association.... well the management frowns on veggies. And most of the people allow pesticides to be applied. I just grow basil. But next year I want to try arugula. I cannot eat tomatos.
Eydawn, glad your titbit is letting you know you can eat more. sounds like you DO get a lot of walking done at work. Are you a nurse?
Today was good. except tasting the refried bean stuff a few times. Amazing. I made it today so all the flavors could cure and blend and do their happy dance overnight.
codfish soup 350
chicken sausage and salad 240
sample at TJs and taste of soup 70
3 peaches 200
chocolate protein stuff 150
cocoa 160
lemon protein stuff 60 total 1230
I will try my hardest to do the trampoline. Will do the homolateral crossovers.
Thanks everyone. And I hope your Thursday is a good one.
Today was oatmeal for breakfast, a fruit smoothie for a snack, a stir-fry and pita for lunch and and crackers and peanut butter with a sandwich for a hasty dinner.
Been battling cravings all evening. This is day three of them being pretty bad in the evenings. I'm not under-eating (if anything I've been a smidge over most days the past week). I'm eating healthy stuff. I just have that old urge to eat a lot of food and quickly. I don't even have specific cravings. Just for food. I don't know why I get them, what causes them, or how to make them go away. The only thing I know is that giving in NEVER HELPS. Ever. Even when it feels like giving in is the only thing I can do. Frustrating and perplexing.
Hope everyone's doing well overall.
--- Sydney: Thank god it wasn't leukemia! I can't even imagine how scary that was. I hope everything turns out okay with August, and that you can both be home safe and sound soon.
acciochocolate: I've done something similar with food many times; I've used a lot of interesting excuses to eat over the years. And I also grind my teeth in my sleep. Do you have a night guard? Supposedly those help.
kelijpa: I'm doing C25K, too! I just finished week 2! I hope I get through week 8 - running is so fun after I stop hating it.

Hey guys! Been doing good on the diet.I made a giant pot of turkey soup and I've eaten like 6 bowls of it.
I'm avoiding sweets and alcohol since they are my weaknesses. I managed to buy me and my mom a week of groceries along with dog food and school supplies for $45! Aw yeah!
However, I did buy margarine instead of butter, which is actually the first time I've ever done so. I didn't give into any temptations--flavored coffee creamer, yogurt, ice cream, biscuits, cookies etc. I did buy some frozen hash browns but that was mostly for my mom, and a big loaf of Italian bread.
