Breakfast

Today I tried a "Pumpkin Parfait" recipe for breakfast that was in Fitness magazine. Lets just say I found it unedible. Instead I had a 6oz container of yogurt and a granola bar.

For lunch I have a bag of spring mix salad, some olive oil and vinegar for dressing, a tangerine, and a snack sized cup of chocolate pudding.

Ok, ok, ok. I'm still slacking. I caught this cold last week, and I think I've finally kicked most of it. Once I stop coughing, I'm going to get a workout routine together. I got a subscription to Fitness magazine, and their website has a lot of good workouts and videos. So maybe I won't have to shell out money for a gym membership if this goes well. They also have meal ideas.

Here are my goals:
*Get a weekly meal plan together. Plan meals ahead of time and try to stick mainly to buying food for those meals (no more ice cream bars, chips, etc).
*Get a weekly work out plan together. Find workouts that I can do at home (it's too cold outside to go anywhere :) )
*Get my husband on board!

I know they may seem pretty basic, this is the first time I've actually written them down.

Hi, I'm Thomas

Hi I'm Thom..and i'm a fat ass..well,not neccessarily ass. I'm more gut than butt..but you get the picture.
After throwing away $50 in a weight loss competition I decided to do it on my own. I started with a Juice Fast yesterday and did 8,818 steps on the eliptical and treadmill.
Wish me luck.

P.S.
Welcome back Megan!! Good luck!

Hello, my name is Megan and I have a fat ass. I had McDonalds today before I went to work.

I feel like I just totally pigged out since Thanksgiving, and I am very disappointed in myself. Something's got to change! They just opened a 24-hour gym near my house, and I am seriously considering joining. I figure, if I spend money on a membership, maybe that would be incentive enough to go.

So, back to no fast food. Back to healthier meals. Back to walking on that treadmill.

Lunch

Grilled ham & cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread and a bowl of chicken noodle o's.

2 slices of bread 220 calories 20 fat calories.
2 slices of ham 60 calories 20 fat calories.
2 slices cheese 140 calories 80 fat calories.
honey mustard 10 calories 0 fat calories.
bowl of chicken noodle o's 80 calories 25 fat calories.

total for lunch. 510 calories , 145 fat calories.
total for the day so far 900 calories, 185 fat calories.

Total left for the day. 855 calories, 166 fat calories.

Ok for lunch I really could have cut it down to one piece of cheese rather than 2. That would have cut out a lot. It's all live and learn, live and learn.

Hi I'm Jaime

Hi I'm Jaime, remember me. Yeah it's been far, far too long and my ass can tell. So we'll start over. Hi I'm Jaime and I'm a fat ass. Ok here we go again. I'm going to be on this as much as humanly possible and I hope everyone comes back to it because we were all doing so well. I'm still down 12 pounds, don't ask me how because I don't deserve to be down 12 pounds at all after all the crap I've eaten the last few months. So to get back on track I'm going back to the "Choose to Lose" program because I did really well on that. To be honest I'd be happy getting to 150 pounds. That would be a great goal weight for me, it's been a long time since I've been there so we'll pick that one. According to the Choose to Lose program I'll have to eat at least 1755 calories and 351 fat calories or less to become my goal weight.

Today so far I've had:
Quaker Instant Oatmeal Raisins and Spice 300 calories and 40 calories from fat
a glass of skim milk 90 calories and 0 calories from fat.

So I need to eat 1455 more calories today and I still have 311 fat calories to eat.

I need to do this.
