I never thought of that...maybe someone put it on my vehicle cause their hands were full and forgot it there! Oooops. (But I hope to park beside them again tommorow! lol)

Even though I'm sort of sexist and usually only look at ones written by girls. Haha.
Yay for someone else who eats multiple cans of tuna in a day...!
Are you ever concerned about mercury poisoning?
I haven't read back through your journal or anything, but do you eat a lot of it often? At one point a few years back, I was eating a can and a half every single day, and I THINK I did get mercury poisoning, maybe...just self-diagnosed though, so I'm not sure. xD

I got to admit...it is a predominantly female forum and its sometimes uncomfortable, better yet, awkward, reading about women's things. But I just glaze over it and move on. No offence to the women on here, but sometimes I wish there was a womens only section where girls can talk girls and guys can fart and swear like we do when your not around. :)
(But thanks for reading...nice to know!)

As for tuna...I eat about 8 cans a week. I worry about sodium more than mercury. I eat light tuna cause its dirt cheap compared to white tuna. And I find white tuna has a different taste that I'm not fond of but eat it very occasionally. So...I dunno....your call. I like it....love it actually.

How do you cope with so little sleep Flumey? (which is now your new nickname :p) Or the Flumeinator. Or Flumebot. Or flumeaton.
As you can tell I'm also lacking in the sleep department. I find it makes my calories go up so much :( I'd much rather sleep all day. I dont want to grow up!!
Anyway--You're doing awesome. Keep up the amazing work.
P.S. You can totally have pizza with the kids! I have goodfellas mini pizzas which are only 357 calories with a salad! Yum yum yummmm

I like Flumey. Thanks! lol I used to have FlumBum Flumminbird and Flumey. But the others are original! lolol Thank you! lol
I love to sleep...but I sleep terrible after nites and also before days. But on my days off, I make up for it sometimes sleeping for 8-10 hrs if kids permit it.
(Tomorrow should be that day.) And yes, I find my weight increases also. (Hey, we should publish our scientific study and get rich! lol)

I can't do pizza. Im a recovering pizzaholic. If I have one piece..I will go back to my old ways. And I will eat it untill I literally cant eat another bite. Its terrible...but I love it. So its taboo right now.
Thanks for the compliments. Always great to hear it!!

being sore after weights is a good feeling...but there is a difference between sore, and pain.

Its sore....a good sore...like when your sore after indoor sports sore...or laughing cheeks sore....or funny elbow sore! I'm just outta shape...kinda like spilled milk. No shape! lol


So today was a great start.
B-Oatmeal w/r&b
S-Cottage cheese and 2 oz of kolbassa
L - total f-up Company ordered in pasta meatballs sausage and salad. I ate about 100 grams of pasta...and then 4 good size (not large) meatballs and 1 sausage. And a huge plate of salad with lo cal dressing.
S-a few more meatballs lol.....there was sooo much leftover! lol I couldnt let them throw it out :(
D-nothing yet. Hope tuna and cottage cheese on lettuce. Balance out my day.
S-protein shake.

Legs are still feeling it. Went for a bile ride with the kids last nite (first time in 10 yrs I think) and my quads arent recovered. Hopefully I get a good sleep tonite and am ready for the gym tomorrow.

I am officially on hollydaze! 8 luxurious days basking in cold temps and a rain forecast! :(
Have a great nite ya'll! Take care!

PSH, I want rain! I LOVE rain, my fiance and I are moving to Seattle when I graduate with my master's degree in May 2013 (god, that sounds really far away lol). But, here in Nevada we get snow or sun, we are a useless desert. But, it is grey cloudy over here right now so I still have some hope for some thunder storms!
 
So today was Week 1 Day 1 of my workout routine.

I am very dissapointed at how little weight I was able to lift to get thru the whole routine, but I know it will get better if I stick with it.

My quads are really sore and heavy....tomoroow is my rest day as far as weights go. Im sure my wife will think differently! lol

Food today was great
Oatmeal
No Snack busy
Salad with 1 chicken breast
No Snackbusy again :(
1/2 Cucumber and 1 chicken breast
Big schnack later :)

Went shoppin....bout a shitload of cboneless skinless chicken breasts for 1.99 a lb. And fruits and veggies.
Wish I had the energy to type but I just want to make like one of those veggies and relax for the rest of the nite.

:waving:Hope you all have a funtastic weekend!:waving:

:eh: :eh: :eh: :eh: :eh:
 
Well, its Sunday night. My legs are still unbelieveably sore from squats and I'm due back in the gym tomorrow. I think I will die! lol

Anyways, my weekend was great food wise considering we went to camp. Only 2 beer and no snacks. Good brekkies and lunches were veggie wraps.

Dinners were a chicken stir fry, ((my wifes fave) and a piece of my 7 yr old son's pizza that he made me). It was the best I ever had....he was sooo proud.
Tonite was steak and veggies and I didnt eat a whole steak like I normally do. Even trimmed the fat! lol

So now its the hockey game and I will catch up on peoples diaries later if I stay up late.

Have a great nite peeps!
 
Yesterday was a good day. Hit the gym and did my routine pretty much completely with the exception of the squats. My legs were so sore, I had to back off the weight to half. I'm still feeling it today...quads and hammies are sooo sore.
And tomorrow its back to the gym...ugh.

Oh well....food wise has been pretty good. My weights at 207.2....which is 1.2 pounds heavier than my lowest 206 which I reached last week. I must be eating more than I should or gaining muscle.

But I'm going to keep eating like I am for the next couple of weeks and see where it gets me.

Speaking of food...its the same o same o
Oatmeal brekie 400
lunch very small chicken breast wrap 400
protein shake snack 240
very small chicken breast and salad dinner (with some sweet potatoe tonite) 400
tuna and cottage cheese snack. 240

I need to drink more water....I only drank a couple of liters these past couple of days.

Other than that all is good here. Gettin lots of sleep and feelin healthy.

Tommorow nite takin the kids and their friends to see Shrek in 3D. Hope its good....gonna cost me a fortune!

Have a great nite!

Abda Abda Abda...Thats all folks!

Well look at you go! :)
Your food and exercise is really good and I odn't think you're eating too much at all.
You're really good with the protein. I find it hard to get in that much protein, so you've given me some good ideas.
Keep it up dude! :D
 
Hey Flumes, I just stopped by to see what condition your condition was in! You are a protein munching machine!!

Glad to hear its going well with the weights at the gym - you'll be muscle bound in time!

Hope shrek was worth the small fortune!
 
Just read your journal and it is great to hear how you are getting on. Congrats on the results so far and keep the updates coming, hopefully I will have some results to talk about in the coming weeks :)
 
Hey :) thanks for the encouragement yesterday! I just got home from a ten hour night shift and followed the link back to your page. I'm really tired but even so, I must say as was reading through some of your journal that you really have a great way of writing! Very entertaining and funny :D Well I need to go get some sleep. Catch you another time and hope you have a great day. ~Lisa
 
Flumes,

Just checking in on you. You are doing great. I'm travelling right now with limited access to the web. I'll write a more coherent post on your journal once I get back home next week. Hope your week's going well. You are vacationing?? Lucky!

Glad it was good but even if I was stick thin, my complaint about move theater popcorn is it never tastes as good as it smells....and yea I always feel so....buttery sick afterward, lol.

I always say that! But I recently moved to a new city and found this small old independent cinema that shows old classic movies and the popcorn is soooo nice! I was there last night and had a large bag :reddevil:

I took my nephews to the cinema and out to dinner recently and I agree with you Flumes, it aint a cheap past-time.

Haha, my niece uses the excuse "I am a vegan, if you don't offer vegan candy don't expect me to not bring my own food in" and she gets away with it everytime.... lol she really IS vegan, but no one ever questions her.
 
jeepers! I think they'd have to pay me $118 to go to watch Shrek 3!!

I always used to take a can of pop and some snacks in my handbag (!) - although Flumes, I think if you tried this, they might stop you just on the suspicion of being a real weirdo!!
 
Oh my god, that's so much money!! That's like...2 days wages for me!! Can't wait til I pop some babies out and they will grow up and love old horror films like me and I will spoil them with yummy popcorn. American popcorn is so much better than british stuff. You can put like toppings on yours, right? Like..add your own butter? Maybe that was just this one place I went to in LA.

nom nom nommmm
Anyway, yay for healthy food and achy legs and keep up the super work Flumebot <3
