Body Composition Challenge (Page 11)

I'm always so envious of people that can find scenery like that just outside their front door.

I've been doing so good these past couple of days but they are having a bake sale for charity and I cheated - and it wasn't good - that's the worst.  I'm all for the 80/20 but if the cheat isn't good quality tasty food then it's just a total waste.  Fortunately it was a small cheat.

Hope everyone is having a good day. Rainy up here!

It is one of the perks of living in Colorado.  You can visit anytime but do not dream of moving here--there are already too many houses in that photo. 

I feel the same about the mountains of NC, too!

You know, it's funny - for as long as I've struggled with weight, the point about eating to support the weight you WANT to be never occurred to me.  Especially now that I'm within 10 pounds of my goal weight... it wouldn't cut too many calories and it would be a good teaching tool for when I get down to that point, too.

OK peeps I need some suggestions.  I am a big time snacker during the day (don't eat huge meals) and as we all know snacks=carbs=bleck.

Besides the 4-5 pieces of fruit I have each day what do you guys and gals suggest for easy protein intake?

I eat tuna without anything added (I know most people need mayonaise) for some quick and easy protein.  I can also stomach a can of sardines to add some omega fats to the protein although I understand that most cannot handle these--they are cheap though so if you swallow them---go for them!

mmmm sardines.  I would eat them more often but they stink up a room and I'm sure that my coworkers wouldn't appreciate that.

Tom and I are planning to run the Run for the Ranch marathon together on December 18th.  It is his first and I am going for a Boston qualifying time.  Race has a loop foramt which I think could help me (basically 8 5Ks).

Anyone up to join us? Race is 18 weeks from Sunday so training should start soon unless you already have a fall marathon planned and then it would just consist of a recovery period and then pick up training again for an even FASTER marathon than your fall race.

Oh yeah:  my cousin lives in Springfield and Brad Pitt's brother is his next door neighbor.  We can all hang out at my cousin's with telephoto lenses to see if we can sell photos to pay for our trips to Springfield!  Ladies--a chance to whoo Brad away from Angelina--he is looking for an excuse anyway.
