Stilll the same as last week - 151.0. I've been here all year even w/ all of my upped miles and same eating habits.

Does anybody have a quick, easy way of keeping a food journal? I just don't have time to enter things online. I tried fooddiary.com and a notebook. My big problem is that I eat mostly food that I prepare myself. So it's alot of work to figure out the serving info.

And I eat all grass-fed meat which I strongly believe is lower in fat and calories than conventioanl meat. So that info. is hard to find as well when figuring nutritional value.

Beginning weight 7/14,  176 lbs.

What a terrible way to start!  Had a bad day yesterday, returned to the gym ater long abscence and had mild chest pain. Trainer said all the color left my face. We think I just strained to hard on the leg press. Already had doc appt next week, trying to decide if I should call him now.

Subject: Week Two Weigh-in
A bit late again, but I did do the actual weighing on Monday.

Initial weight, Monday 7/14 - 196.2

Weight on Monday 7/21 - 193.8

Loss of 2.4

I've been cheating the past couple of days, which I tend to do right after a weigh-in. Back on track tomorrow (Wednesday) and my goal for next week is to not use a weigh-in as an excuse to snack on junk food. Since most others have been setting goals for the ten week weight loss challenge, I thought about what I'd like to see by then. I'm going with 180. A number I haven't seen in a long time, so I hope it isn't too ambitious.

Weighed in at 152 on Monday and was all depressed, but hadn't been drinking enough, and ate lots of salty foods over the weekend, so I think  was retaining water.  Weighed in at 150.5 today, which I believe more.  Was bad over the weekend, since it was the hubby's birthday and I was in the kitchen a lot cooking all sorts of his favorite foods, but it is easier to be good during the week....

I forgot to post on Monday, but I did weigh myself.

Goal: 195.0
7/14 : 206.4  (50.7% Hydration)
7/21: 205.5

Down almost a pound from the initial weigh in, I'm right on track to hit my goal.

I also find it hard to keep a food journal. I do most of my cooking myself and have a kitchen scales for proportion sizes. I have found if you start by computing the caloric information of your favorite foods per oz. and keep this information handy it will be easier to keep a journal and figure total intake. If you will do it for three weeks you will have all information that you need. We normally eat the same thing so you will just have to look back for information. I have use an excel spreadsheet and after some time it did not take very long to log daily intake.

I also recommend a small kitchen scales for measuring out portion sizes. This is a big one for me; I tend to eat too much whether it is rice or cake. I have to be aware of portion sizes and the scale has helped.

As for grass feed meats 1 oz of fat = 1 oz of fat, 1oz lean meat =1 oz lean meat no matter what was use to feed animal. You might try http://www.calorieking.com/for calorie information.
Keep up good work and you will meet your goals!

Everybody needs to watch it this weekend and keep up good work.

I started late and missed first week, but this past week have exersized all five daya, and have swim clinic tommorrow and rest day on Sunday. I just need to not use a "rest day" as a cheat day for diet. I know that one needs to "relax" a little every now and then but I tend to take it to the extreme and eat every thing in sight when I get in that mind set.

Can not wait for Monday morn for my first weigh in!

Be Strong!

Last Week: 312

This morning: 314

 

But I am giving myself a pass since this was my one vacation this summer with friends in Vegas that do not share my eating goals. Snacked hard, trained harder.

Ugh, ugh, ugh.  I'm stuck in that vortex of training more and eating more.  I'm up a pound from last week ...174. 

But right after my long run on Saturday I weighed 168... I know it was mostly water loss, but it was nice to see!  I need to get my butt in gear.
