Lady, you are truly an inspiration to us all, (even the guy at the gym, obviously ). Thanks for keeping us all motivated, and showing that it can be done. I know it seems like a long road at times, but it will be soooo worth it in the end. Oh, and good for you eating the Smart Pop popcorn, w/o all that hydrogenated crap. Do you know that eating hydrogenated oils is compared to eating plastic? That's it's equivilent when it enters our body. Our body does not know what to do with it, and CANNOT digest it. Isn't that horrible, just imagine opening up your cupboard and chowing down on your tupperware, not very appealing, huh? Yet this is precisely what we do when we indulge in Krispy Kreme, french fries & other fried foods, and even movie theater popcorn, it's disgusting that the stuff is even legal. OK, I'm off my soapbox now, just wanted to say great job!!! God Bless.

I've been a big slacker, I'm sorry I'll start with yesterday, I'm going to try to get back into posting, it's good for me to have ppl to hold me accountable as to what I'm putting into my body. Makes me think twice about things when I'm tempted. Yesterday- Breakfast: banana 3/4 cup high protein crunch cereal w/half cup soymilk and blueberries (they have this cereal at my store and I never knew it! It was right under my nose all this time, who thunk it? LOL) Snack: cheese cubes rf wheat thins w/hummus Lunch: turkey burger w/rf swiss cheese, turkey bacon, and avocado 1 cup veggies Onion pocket (roll w/onions baked into the middle) 1/2 cup yogurt w/mixed fruit Snack: 1/2 cup yogurt w/mixed fruit 1/2 protein bar (homemade) Dinner: 4 oz organic chicken breast cooked in evoo sweet potato w/butter and splenda brown sugar blend Workout: Shoulders/Abs; No Cardio PW snack: protein shake w/yogurt and fruit Macro's: Total Cals: 2028 Fat: 42; Cals: 375 Sat: 10; Cals: 86 Poly: 5; Cals: 49 Mono: 9: Cals: 81 Carbs: 248; Cals: 899 Fiber: 23 Protein: 185; Cals: 741

How do you like the cereal? It really helps out w/getting that protein amount up there, huh? By the way, WOW, on your lean protein levels. See, and we were discussing whether it was even possible to get in that much protein on 2000-2200 cals/day. Looks like your doing it well.
What kind of soymilk do you use, I use to use 8th Continent all the time, and I LOVED it, and had it w/everything. It is still my milk of choice when I decide to sneak in my beloved Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into my calorie count. Wouldn't have it any other way... But, other than that, we usually keep organic skim milk as the staple milk now.
Glad to see you back in action. I guess I need to hop over to my journal and give an update, too.
BTW, I know this will seem like it's coming from left field (and it is), but do you own a breadmaker, or stand (read: kitchen aid type) mixer? I was just wondering for when I share some of my homemade recipes, what kind of tools you're working with. I sometimes take for granted the appliances that I've collected over the years that make my life so much simpler, when trying to share recipes with others...

That cereal rocks! I still have a full box of kashi that I don't know what I'm going to do with now. May bring it into the store and see if I can swap it for the other. I have to have a little more than the serving size tho, otherwise it won't fill me up. BTW, have you tried ezekiel bread? I just discovered it and it rocks! Completely organic whole grain ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup! LOL But anyways, to answer your question, my roommate has some great kitchen gadgets, I don't know what I'm going to do when we seperate. No breadmaker, but we do have a kitchenaid mixer. Makes great protein bars Speaking of, I think I've perfected the recipe, I will post it in the recipe section if you want to try making them sometime. I've gone completely off splenda too and am using stevia now. I didn't realize it was going to make such a big difference in how I feel!

That cereal rocks! ... I have to have a little more than the serving size tho, otherwise it won't fill me up. I know what you mean, I usually end up eating like 3/4- 1 cup, which is great for my protein and fiber intake. BTW, have you tried ezekiel bread? No, I see it all the time though. It's probably the kind I'd buy if I didn't make my own It looks like it's super healthy though, so stick w/it. But anyways, to answer your question, my roommate has some great kitchen gadgets, I don't know what I'm going to do when we seperate. No breadmaker, but we do have a kitchenaid mixer. Makes great protein bars That's good, so when I share recipes I know that you can use the same tools that I do. I've gone completely off splenda too and am using stevia now. I didn't realize it was going to make such a big difference in how I feel! Good for you, no more splenda! I use stevia, when I can, as well. In some recipes (for baking) it doesn't cooperate as well, so then I use Sucanat, Rapadura, or honey.

You're starting to look like me w/all that homemade stuff, lol. Did you see that the newest o2 mag had bread recipes in there (including one for ezekiel bread)? I was gonna share some of my bread recipes (I still may, depending on if anyone could actually use them) but looks like they beat me to the punch. Do you have a subscription? If you ever wanted to try your hand at making your own bread, I'm here if you need help. It can be scary to take on at first, but now, it's just a part of the routine, and it's really not as time consuming as people think (as far as hands on time). But once you get the hang of it, there's nothing like the taste of your own freshly made, healthy bread (not to mention, the WONDERFUL way your house smells, people always tell me that my house smells like subway ). Soooo...if you ever feel bold and wanna give some yeast recipes a try, I have a plethora to share (bread, rolls, pizza, english muffins....)

It seems I was losing more last year when I was doing cardio 5 days/45-60 mins so we'll see how that goes.
