Bren's Fitness Journey

Congratulations on you massive achievement.

Would it be too much trouble to itemise your daily food intake at least once, so i could have a look at what you eat? (others may be interested too). Whatever you are doing its obviously working for you.

Congratulations on beating the cancer.

At what weight are you going to stop and try to maintain a steady weight?
 
Sure, I can post yesterday's food. I keep a daily food diary so that's easy enough. You may be surprised at what I eat.

Breakfast- cinnamon oatmeal cooked in 3/4 cup of skim milk, and 2 teaspoons sugar.
Snack- fiber one bar.
Lunch- greek yogurt 1/2 cup, with 1 Tablespoon honey, and 1/4 c bluberries. 1 fresh pear, and 1 fiber one bar.
Snack- grapes-1cup, and 1 fiber one bar.
Snack- baked lays- 5 chips and 1 oz. turkey breast slice.
Snack- Low fat pudding cup, 1 fiber one bar.
Dinner- Smart Ones Teriyaki Chicken dinner, Skinny Cow ice cream bar.
Snack- Skinny Cow ice cream bar.

Total of 1470 calories and 23 grams fat.

Yesterday I also walked 5k and did some reps on the ab, back and rowing machines.

Some days I eat a little more, some days less. I stay within the 1350 to 1700 calories a day range. I try not to eat a heavy dinner, or eat too late at night.
Some days I exercise more, and some days not at all.

I've already reached my goal of 140, but I don't mind if I hit 135 or 130.
I think anything less for me, at 55, would be too thin. I'm already pretty thin in the legs hips, and arms. I just have some belly fat that needs to go.

I hope this helps you or any others that may be interested.

Thanks for posting that Bren. You seem to have a lot of self-control.

Is there are health reason you eat so many fibre bars or do you just like them?
 
I don't normally have 4 day, but I just like them, and I'd be snacking on something anyway. Usually I'd have 3 a day, and maybe more ice cream bars or pudding or grapes or pears. That was just a one day snapshot.
