I ate celery earlier. Hoorah.
And yes. We can arm wrestle. I'm not very good at arm wrestling though. There's actually techniques you can use to help you win, and I don't know any of them. There are friends of mine that can't life as much weight as me, and they can beat me in arm wrestling. |

Heh, I just realized some great motivation for losing weight... a girlfriend. I've been flirting with this chick and she seems really into me, but I have like, no confidence because I'm so overweight. Also, I checked out my bank statement today and saw the charge for my gym membership... the one I didn't go to even once last month. That does it, I'm spending at least half an hour at the gym tomorrow even if it kills me.

I emerge victorious, but my arms wish I hadn't
I find it really difficult to eat right, but I'm making a conscious effort to at least cut back on all the junk. I've been drinking water every day for a while (not as much as I should) and I've started bringing apples in for a snack at work instead of chips or something. Anyone have any good suggestions for a healthy, QUICK breakfast each morning? Super emphasis on quick, like something I can grab, eat, and run. I don't feel like getting up any earlier than I have to. 4 AM is early enough, thanks. |

Oatmeal?
And how about a good ol' fashion bowl of cereal? I start most days with a bowl of Kashi Heart to Heart cereal and some vanilla flavored soy milk. I HATE milk, and I find the vanilla flavored stuff to be great, and, it's healthy. And the Heart to Heart cereal is very tasty, and also good for you. These are both things that my girlfriend got me into, that I thought I would hate until I finally gave them a chance. You can find either of these at any grocery store. The Heart to Heart may not be in the cereal aisle with the rest of the cereals. You may have to check the natural foods section. And soy milk is usually in the milk section. |

a bowl of cereal and a piece of fruit (apple, pear, orange, banana?) is a good start i think. and it doesn't take long to put together and eat a bowl of cereal, so don't bitch about getting up earlier :P

Just stepped on the scale. 186.2 lbs. I, am pleased with myself. Even if I cheated a bit on my diet tonight. When I'm home, I don't really have any meal schedule. My family doesn't eat meals together or anything, and our cupboards aren't exactly stocked with health foods. So tonight when I was with my friends, I ended up eating some beef jerky (which isn't too bad at all) and a Nutty Bar. Oh well. It's not like I cheat every day. You're supposed to cheat every now and then. Keeps morale high. |

For sustained energy in breakfast and snacks, remember the PFF: protein, fiber and fat. Sugars and carbohydrates burn off quicker--which is why junkfood doesn't really carry you over. An apple is a great snack, because of the fiber in its skin; an apple with peanut butter is an even greater snack because it has protein AND fiber. Come up with a list of easy snack-ingredients that meet one or more of the PFF, and then switch out which you eat, so snack time doesn't get mundane. Because eating healthy gets old fast, and you've got to find ways to keep yourself doing it. Last edited by Stormy : 04-22-2007 at 10:07 AM. |

On what stormy said: This is especially important for you if you're waking up at 4 am, subsy. I do that about 3 days a week, and I find that instead of getting hungry around lunch like most people, I'm hungry at like 10 am. A bowl of cereal alone doesn't usually do it for me, and Stormy's right, things like peanut butter and milk help a lot, plus the healthy snacks that you mentioned, like apples.
I have been so busy for like the past week I haven't been able to post. My exercise has struggled. Like I told you guys I was doing only elliptical and yoga last week because I hurt my knee so badly. I was doing my best to rest it up for my 16 mile run on Saturday, which, to my intense frustration, I only got a few miles into because BOTH knees felt like they were being stabbed in the kneecap with a serrated knife. I have runner's knee due to insufficient support in the beginning of my training. I've been doing everything I can to try to baby my knees--my marathon is only 5 weeks away and I HAVE to run it. |

I want to get in better shape, eat better.. quit smoking, and all that good for you shit, but, I feel like I get more than enough exercise while working, everynight I come home feeling like a bus ran me over, back, shoulders, knees, all burning, lol. And this job can be stressful, so everytime I think "ok self, this time you will quit smoking.. or at least start to cut back progressively".. I realize, people could potentially suffer horribly if I quit right now.
I'm weak, I know.
