Rashmi: Yea, I cook a lot... pretty much everything except egg roll wraps and crackers from scratch (including tortillas). That's probably one of the biggest reasons I almost have to measure everything because there's no neat little package label to tell me the cals, nutrients, etc for "1 serving size". This may be much of a detailed pain in the butt for you.....but what I did was buy a pretty blank journal for a recipe book and everything I cooked on a regular basis I would write down as I went along, put it all into fitday and divide by serving size. Now I have a huge recipe book that I can quickly refer to - takes the guess work out at the end of the day.
Cals slightly under maint...2053. I won't discuss the sat fat, or the fact that for the 3rd day running it's far too high. ...okay, not an excuse but the reason. Had a dinner/movie date...plenty of better choices available: salmon, talapiai, shrimp, sirloin, grilled chicken. But I'm looking at the menu and thinking that this was all stuff I could and pretty much do eat any day of the week and I wanted something that would never make its way into my fridge at home...ergo babyback ribs and sat fat be damned
. Fiber at minimum target...really should have been higher considering the sat fat amount though, protein fine. No point in mentally beating myself up over it, 3 days of high sat fat is not exactly going to send me into cardiac arrest, but I really do need to get that back into check.
On a positive note though:, the ribs were awesome and I did request the sauce on the side, I did substitute raw broccoli w/o butter for the potato side dish, did only eat 1/2 the French onion soup (minus the bread part), did limit alcohol to less than 1 glass of red wine, didn't look twice at the dessert menu and..drumroll please....was perfectly content to sip on bottled water vs. soda/candy/popcorn at the movies later.
I know how to eat well at home...still practicing I guess in different social situations...it helped that my date (who I've decided is my future husband but doesn't know it yet) is a serious runner who shares my slightly anal food practices...it took us 20 mins. just to discuss the healthy merits/drawbacks of each menu item while the poor server stood there probably thinking "just order already you idiots"

1682
mnexercisegirl: not only was it a cool first date - last night was an even cooler second date...I ditched my usual Thursday girl's night out to go out with FDH (future designated hubby)
Cals at 1682, about 200 too few, sat fat good, fiber good, protein too low by half - only one meat serving and 1 real dairy serving. Just not very hungry, coupled with being really busy all evening...Kept thinking "I'll grab a protein bar later" except later never quite came. Since I was more concerned with getting sat fat back under control than 1 random day of low cals and protein, it's good. It's going to be a busy week-end though so I'm laying in a supply of protein bars for the duration - a meal is obviously better but my crystal ball tells me there will be at least one missed meal a day until Sunday - when there will be too many meal options (the curse of being single - everyone wants to feed ya on holidays )

I really have no idea of my calories for yesterday (Easter) which is a bit scary...realized fairly early in the day that keeping track just wasn't a realistic possiblility....sunrise breakfast, brunch, family-style sit down dinner, late (very late) dinner in restaurant with DFH. Yow. Best I could do was say "no" to anything fried, sugar-laden, pasta and breads, and say "yes" to fruits, veggies, eggs, meat and keep questionable (i.e. sauces of unkown composition) foods in limited portions. The only exception was this spicy, cheesy, creamy crab/corn casserole that knocked my socks off! I'm hoping that despite the variety and frequency of eating, the foods and portions chosen didn't put me more than two or three hundred above maint. calories - which would be fine.
So, I'm not exactly a happy camper this a.m. - which has nothing to do with yesterday's food intake. I saw a friend that I hadn't seen since around Thanksgiving. Four years ago she and I were more or less the same size, carrying a few extra pounds but not seriously overweight...we both kept adding the pounds over the years (myself much, much more than her)...when I saw her in November she had taken off most of her excess poundage and looked pretty good, she had lost the weight by a combination of diet pills and following a severely reduced calorie plan (both prescribed by her doc).
So I was really surprised when I saw her yesterday because she is actually obese now - instead of a few pounds overweight...I didn't think it was possible for a body to change that much in six months..not just the weight gain but her entire body looked like marshmellow fluff...as though you could sink a finger into any part of her body and it would sink all the way to the bone with no intervening muscle mass.
Intellectually, I know what happened...I was ticking off in my head all the things that probably contributed to such a change in such a short time...but emotionally the illogical thought took hold in my head "that's where you could be in six months". I've been down that same road twice...the nice, sane, rational part of me firmly believes that I'm doing everything "right" to take a different direction this time...but just seeing K. depressingly brought home, once again, how scarily easy it can be to pack it on again - and more.
So, I heard this quote on some health related show this week-end: "A healthy human body is self-monitoring, self-regulating and self-correcting" - and I'm hanging onto that concept for all it's worth....It's going to be my friggin mantra to keep me focused on something positive until I can shake off these irrational, "that could be me in six months" blues.

Have a great week cym!
Your friend did not do things correctly. You are. Don't worry about it Cym!
Permanent success is only born from heart, desire, and consistency. These three things need to be maintained forever. Simple fact. You seem to have them, and you will be fine.
Focus on good things. Not on the things you DON'T want.

You're HOT! I love the second one because of the definition in your muscles. I can't wait to get there...
2009
Tom: Now, that I've finally worked my way back up to maint. cals, my only weight goal is just to maintain for a little while - I don't know yet how long that will be...maybe even through the summer. I've decided to focus pretty much on fitness goals 'cause I want to do a couple of organized runs (and finish with respectable times) and I've recently gotten a bug up the wazoo about learning to rock climb. Right now I'd just rather make my food intake about being well nourished and well fueled for these activities than about getting to a specific lower weight/bodyfat %. Eventually vanity will probably rear it's head again and I'll be all about losing a bit more.
Rashmi: My silly doom & gloom mood effectively dispelled through a combination of a good night's sleep, a cute new skirt (shopping is therapy), a good sweaty work-out, and a super conversation with DFH.
mnexercisegirl> Thanks! Yea, that's my favorite one too - for the same reason.
Steve:Thanks and you're right...just needed to remind myself.
Cals at 2009 - maint. range. Will be trying to stay between 2000-2100 next ten days to determine if this is actually my maint. range. Sat fat over by 2 grams at 22g despite only one dairy source..I seem to keep having problems keeping this to under 20g. Actually it was the one strip of bacon that put me over - but the lima beans were demanding for it . Fiber great at 41g and protein good for amount of calories.

2069
Cals at 2069, right on target. Sat fat at 28g which is insane...I'm so sick of writing "sat fat too high" that I'm tempted to just declare that "30 is the new 20" just so I can say "sat fat in line". Who eats two, not one but friggin two 6oz steaks in one day? Me!!! Fiber is fine at 32g and, needless to say, (2 steaks later) protein is kickin' at 142g.
edited to add: I had a really weird work-out this a.m. Walked into the gym just not feeling the love, which is unusual for me. But work-out partner home with bad cold, FDH left this morning for extended business trip, my period started and the weather sucks. whine whine. So, at any rate I stood there thinking, "well, I'm here, I'm in no mood to follow my routine but I'm gonna do something darn it!" So, for no practical reason I decided to just do a five rep, five set military press at a weight I'd never attempt on a normal day...and I did (with loooong rests between sets). And the guy spotting me stood there with nothing to do cause I barely "wobbled", even on the last few reps. And that was it. My entire work-out. And it was oddly satisfying despite accomplishing nothing in the big picture.

And the guy spotting me stood there with nothing to do cause I barely "wobbled", even on the last few reps. And that was it. My entire work-out. And it was oddly satisfying despite accomplishing nothing in the big picture.

Glad I popped by in time to catch your latest photos. My favourite is the first. You look so pretty and sexy and feminine.
You know I looked at your food in the last post and I think I AM eating close to you. This week I will be eating a lot of salmon.
Just wishing you well as you continue on your journey.
Did you see the article in the Weight Loss in the Media section about dieters gaining weight back?

Wow, I missed the pics, but went back and WOW you look AMAZING!
I picked up some walnuts and almonds today --outside of that can I previously had. How much mono and poly fats should I try to be consuming each day?
My thoughts were that I'm going to try to get in 1/2 of the serving for each since the one has more mono and one has more poly. Am I thinking wrong about this?
