Evondo's Group - CLOSED! (Page 146)

Houstonrider - 2010-05-10 2:24 PM I just went for a nice run and when I got home decided to make some lunch. Diced up some fresh ham and onions and made a killer omelet with some colby cheese. Not the healthiest meal but I got my protein and carbs (and a little fat).

Did I ever tell you guys/gals how much I love working from home.

Emmanem - 2010-05-09 8:20 PM Well hopefully, maybe we may have a new triathlete in the making soon.  James seems to be getting more and more interested in the idea of doing a triathlon.  Took me weeks to talk him into a 5k with me and now I think he's on board for a half mary next year after discussing it twice.  Not to mention he took Bella out for a ride the other day and really enjoyed it.  And he said without me asking him that he was going to do a triathlon "one day".  Hoping one day is sometime soon so we can train together.  I know he'd do amazing, he's one of those ridiculously athletic people and he's got the mental toughness thing down.  I really think he'd enjoy it a lot.  Keep your fingers crossed people!!!

Hum, I was wondering what to eat for lunch.  Thanks.  Although I'll have to skip the ham.

bzgl40 - 2010-05-09 9:28 PM So what is everyone's go to meal?  You know, the pretty healthy one that you can whip up really quickly, faster then fast food, where you almost always have the ingredients on hand.  Mine is pasta with a veggie, cheese, and what use to be meat but now is more a fake meat or tofu.  I cook the pasta and while it is cooking I cook some veggies, often broccoli but near any will do.  Today I put in "chicken" tenders, sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and feta.  Took about 10 minute total to cook, which includes the boiling of the water for the pasta.  I near always use whole wheat pasta and all in all this is a pretty tasty healthy meal that is super quick to whip up and has endless possibilities depending on what veggie or meat you have on hand.  For you meat eaters it works really well with diced up ham

kcarroll - 2010-05-10 3:38 PM Kim, same approach here.  When I'm really pressed for time I cook the pasta and the veggies in the same pot.  Throw the broccoli and asparagus in with the pasta after 5 mins.  Drain and toss with grape tomatoes, feta and garlic infused olive oil (I make my own.  Buy a good bottle of evoo and after you've used a 1/4 cup, drop in a few garlic cloves.)  Oh, and tofu when I'm feeling the need for more protein.

Second one is a boca burger nuked, crumbled and served in a whole wheat pita topped with garlicky hummus, cukes and shredded lettuce.  

In a real pinch, peanut butter and honey sandwich on whole wheat bread.  That's my lunch more days than not.




 

hippotude - 2010-05-11 8:17 AM The easy go to meal for Tif and me is the PB and banana sandwich...fast, easy, and yummy!


I just want to thank Justin and Todd for the Bonnie Tyler post awhile back.  I was in the car this morning going to school and BT came on the radio and the only thing I could think of was the speedo with the pic of her posted.  Thanks guys...that is just the thought I wanted in my head to start the day!

kjivie - 2010-05-11 1:25 PM So I definitely do not belong with this group nutritionally!! Here is a rundown of my intake yesterday (fairly typical):

Breakfast 1 - Biscuits/Gravy, orange, choc. milk
Breakfast 2 - Protein shake, banana
Lunch 1 - Pizza buffet, coke
Snack - 2 choc. chip cookies, another banana
Dinner - Tacos (made them healthy using chicken!!), guacamole dip/chips
Dessert - Ben and Jerry's half baked ice cream, grapefruit

Seems fairly ridiculous when I type it out like that, but I just never get full anymore.  Lost 4 lbs. in the last 2 weeks eating crappy like this.  I suppose I gotta clean it up a bit now that race season is approaching.

roadrhino - 2010-05-11 11:42 AM Wow...I just think about biscuits and gravy and gain 2 pounds. Grrr...I even gained about 5 pounds during my HIM training. Busting my @$$ now to finally get to my goal weight. Here's my typical "healthy" day of eating:

Breakfast: 2 hard boiled eggs or Oatmeal with banana (add peanut butter on a higher calorie day) + 8oz fresh grapefruit juice
Snack: Greek yogurt
Lunch: 3 oz. chicken, 1c broccoli
Snack: Banana
Dinner: 3-4 oz lean steak, asparagus
Snack: Varies between apple, banana, strawberries, etc... + skim milk

So tomorrow is weigh in day...I'm hoping to drop at least 2 more pounds...I've been very consistent with my nutrition this week and have been able to do some great longer workouts. A little concerned though...drank way too much water yesterday (150+ ounces) and am feeling the bloat today. Hoping that is remedied before the date with the scale tomorrow morning.

bzgl40 - 2010-05-11 1:47 PM Um, where's the chocolate???  I honestly could not eat that little.  I've tried it and it just makes me crankie.  I'm an eater that's for sure.  Which is why I need the occasional bout of food poisoning.  I eat fairly clean meals but I like my snacks.  Lots and lots of snacks.  

roadrhino - 2010-05-11 1:59 PM Oddly, enough I'm not a chocolate addict. I'll eat it, but don't really crave it. My weakness is mexican food...I could eat any variety of mexican food every day of the week. And being that there are more mexican food restaurants per capita in our town than the rest of the world (or at least it seems that way), it's completely possible to do.

bzgl40 - 2010-05-11 3:32 PM I really miss good Mexican restaurants.  They kind of bite here in Tucson, which I find a bit ironic.  I had pretty good choices back in Oregon.  Course being vegetarian makes it a little harder to find any restaurant with good food let alone Mexican.  What seems like it should be vegetarian often isn't due to the use of things like chicken stock etc.

bzgl40 - 2010-05-11 2:13 PM Ok Nicole, we know you hurt yourself.  There is no way you'd be away from us that long unless you were hiding.  What up?
