first "official" weigh in. Starting back on Boot Camp next week. Been Eating Clean all week so far. Feeling better, but still a little sick and a little weak. Damn you Bronchitis!

Planning ahead. I've been taking my day's (breakfast, lunch, snacks) with me in a little cooler bag. Worked great so far. Ran out of steelcut oatmeal this morning. Been starving all morning - tho probably a mental thing. Gotta get to the store tomorrow so the junk food doesn't tempt me! Lunch is roast beef carrots, hummus, apple. Yum!

Write down every little thing you eat during the day. I pack my snacks and lunches too and have my dinners planned out, but find if I have to write it down sometimes I just don't eat it.

What kills us, doesn't make us stronger.

Drink water like a bleedin' hippo!  Seriously, especially if you're working out; even if you're not, i think the eight 8oz. glasses a day is still pretty low.

I tend to drink a gallon a day, at least; have been drinking over 2 for the last week to get ready for the distilled water/cut I'm doing next week for the contest.

I have a little calendar/planner that I am writing EVERYTHING down. I can see that while I think I'm doing better, I still am not getting the 5 fruits/veg every day.

but being healthy is important too. This was a very good blog posting on eating:

Worked out six days last week-if you count Yoga as a workout.

What kills us, doesn't make us stronger.

It works all the muscles, you sweat -- yeah, that counts! Go VKNGLVR13!

I'm just getting started, but episode 1 was great. Your story is very inspiring and the podcast (and your dulcet tones) sound really good. LOVED the promo for flying island, gonna check them out too. Keep up the awesome work, I'm gonna go listen to the next couple of episodes.

I'm consoling myself that last night was Mardi Gras and I kind of blew it out with Mex food and Marguaritas. I'm doing pretty good on the Eating Clean this week (except those yummy Marguaritas) and went back to Boot Camp/Kick boxing Monday and will be doing a Mon/Weds/Thur workout schedule with the trainer, then weekend jogging/pilates. Feels good to be back on track with the exercise (man, am I sore!).

My goal is to lose 2 lbs a week, but I might trade in a pound for a Margarita. I've had no alcohol for 9 days but I'm going to allow for a lite beer on Saturday.

What kills us, doesn't make us stronger.

weigh in is Friday at work so I'm doing all I can to shed.
252 monday morning...250 tuesday morning...248 wednesday morning.  hoping for 246 tomorrow morning followed by a day of hell, concluded with a night of massive cutting.
I remember this being easier when I was 17...

I use caloriecount.com to track what I eat, excersise and more.  It'a  great website for me.  It helps me plan too.  I sometimes will enter lunch, dinner and see what my day would look like, then BEFORE I eat it see what is in store if I do.  Nice website.

right on the mark.
Time to enjoy my quart of water and power bar for the day, then get ready to sweat like a priest at a boy scout jamboree. ________________________________________

I hope you don't get sick, this pace is really fast.

which is why I'm only doing it this week since there's cash, get the money, dollah dollah bill y'all, up for grabs. ;-)

After this weekend I fully expect to jump back up to 250 or so and will be able to return to my usual 2-4 pounds a week cut as opposed to trying to shed 8-12 in a matter of a few days.

That being said, if I hit my goal of 240 and DON'T win this friggin' contest, someone may have to die; I've turned down girl scout cookies, trips out to lunch, and even ate like a squirrel at a departement pot luck for a going away party (and there are some damn good cooks at this place).

The all-rodent diet! I think I could lose pretty quickly on that plan too! Good luck and I hope you get the big bucks! You might need them for all the new skinny clothes you're gonna need this summer.

when the zombies come, squirrels may very well help in your survival.

I have no idea why except it was all green and I wanted to force myself to try a new veggie. Any idea what I'm supposed to do with this stuff?

247 when I got home (after drinking a quart of water and eating only a power bar since my breakfast of some water and a peanut butter smeared rice cake), 242.8 just a minute  ago.

I'm spent.  My 17 year old self could totally kick my ass at this if we went head to head...but I can buy beer, so fuck him.
