POP by the skin of my teeth. I even picked up and smelled the garlic bread. Put it down. Cleaned the kitchen. Packed up the garlic bread. Had some cottage cheese and berries in lieu of the late evening protein shake. I'm going to bed before my inner two year old possesses me.

Hi,
here 's my score for today: yoghurt cheese sandwich & soup 2 ryvita's with toppings cake rice wt beef & peas cc+ cherries and i did UBWO this morning. I still have not lost an ounce in this challenge, I guess because I still eat too much. It is less than it was, I am more aware of my food choices, but it is still too much. On the up side: I have the impression i have much firmer muscles below the fat layer, and I feel muscles more often. I celebrated my 50th birthday yesterday, and some of my male colleagues were amazed that I was 50. Also, this might be a lame excuse, but I think your metabolism slows down around this age so that might also account for the problems loosing weight. I am up now again, since my trip, but I hope to loosse it again. Anyway, I think I'll be doing more BFL after this and I hope there are more people who would want to do this. Ilene, I'm still hanging in here! have a great day all, Rabbit |
Happy Belated Birthday, Rabbit! Is the cake gone yet?
I ran my 3 miles of sprint intervals at lunch and lifted for legs and shoulders (with some abs thrown in) last night. Had a small binge after work. Alas. Today: 3 miles done! kashi with skim, strawberries, protein shake cc/berries/walnuts pork chop, beans, broccoli hardboiled egg whites, plum dinner will be out to eat. Will plan to make good choices. |
I was HUN-GRY yesterday. I ate on-plan except for a few sweet potato chips I munched on in the afternoon. And since I counted my "snack" of nuts and sweet potato chips as a meal, I ate SEVEN meals yesterday! I ususally struggle to eat six, but my stomach was growling all day so I tried to be an intuitive eater and eat when my body said to.
Exercise: Lower body & I tried a new ab routine 1 - Protein, fruit & flax shake 2 - latte and a 1/2 of a luna bar 3 - small sweet potato topped with cottage cheese 4 - nuts and sweet potato chips 5 - small container of greek yogurt 6 - soy chili & rice 7 - 1/2 of a protein shake I know it's recommended you plan your food in advance, but I prefer to eat whatever sounds good at the time. When I'm not traveling, it's relatively easy for me to stay within the BFL guidelines because I enjoy the meals & rarely eat out. I don't know about you, but I've come to the realization that the food I make at home tastes better and is sooo much better for me than restaurant meals. Why would I eat out when I can make a more delicious meal at home for less $$ with a MUCH stronger nutritional profile? And I love trying to incorporate as many super foods as I can in my diet. Anyway, my point is that I am really starting to embrace these 6 meals as 6 opportunities throughout the day to eat something delicious and not as a chore. Today Exercise - Cardio (run) 1 - protein pancakes 2 - ? 3 - ? 4 - ? 5 - ? 6 - ? |

rabbit -- Happy belated Birthday from me too, I didn't even know it was your special day... Don't despair about no weight loss, I haven't lost either, just up and down, up and down, ARGH, a couple of pounds :rolleyes:
eggwhites/oatmeal pp, yogurt, bran pre run banana, didn't have much time post run, coleslaw with very little dressing, 3 chicken/soy nuggets 1/4c beans, 1/4c spaghetti, 3oz salmon, coleslaw 1/4c bran, 1/4c skim milk |
I haven't lost either, but I'm not sure I can see any scale change. My bf% is pretty low already. If I made some extreme changes I could probably drop it more, but I'm pretty happy with my food and exercise right now. I need to get a handle on my occasional sweet tooth binges, but even those, whether I do or don't, the scale stays in the same range.
Today: kashi w/skim, protein shake cc/berries/walnuts turkey sandwich, broccoli bell pepper strips, laughing cow, salmon dinner: probably grilled turkey burger and broccoli 1 hr weights postworkout protein shake I might run this afternoon, probably not though. I'm tired. And I like to run 4-5 times a week, not 6-7. |
