Running around doing lots of stuff today, so only time for a quick weigh-in. Darn. Still stuck at 180. Haven’t moved down at all this week. Really must try to get some exercise in, but being super-busy is making that hard to do. Must.try.harder.… ...Continue reading
The Good
After my calf strain on Sunday I decided to give exercise a rest for a few days, so on Tuesday I had decided that it was time. Then a co-worker, Nate, who’d injured his knee the weekend before went for a run and managed to get 1/4 mile out before his IT band started causing him pain… maybe I’d wait another couple of days, just to make sure that my calf was better.
So last night I climbed back on the treadmill and started running, again with no knee braces. After 7.6 miles in 68:45 I stopped. No real knee pain, and over 1400 calories burnt off. Nice, because that made up for
The Bad
On Tuesday… ...Continue reading

Another Zone bar.

Man, Thursday lunches are reptetive…but tasty. Same french onion soup and cafe salad with baguette as last time. Once again; no cheese, no croutons.
310 calories, 9 grams fat, 49 grams carbs, 7 grams fiber, 9 grams protein
More experimental chicken. This time I was looking for oven fried chicken but didn’t want to use breadcrumbs. I had some honey mustard pretzles in the cupboard, so I crushed those in my Magic Bullet and decided to use them as coating. Since I’m watching calories I decided I didn’t want to use eggs… ...Continue reading
Tonight’s diet menu rocked! We had crawfish-stuffed portobello mushrooms, which ended up being about 250 calories, yummy delicious, and extremely filling. Here’s how it got put together. Last night, we ate boiled crawfish (which was also yummy). We then peeled the leftovers and put them in the fridge to be used tonight. (You could substitute shrimp or crabmeat if you wanted). So, we just mixed together the crawfish tails, some sauteed bellpeppers and onions, and some panko japanese bread crumbs. That mixture was scooped on top of giant portobello mushrooms with just a light sprinkle of lowfat mozzarella cheese on top. Baked those bad boys in the oven for a few minutes, and wow! Talk about good! Woot!… ...Continue reading
Another Zone bar and an apple. Of course Emmitt ended up stealing half of the apple. (He’s a little apple fiend lately.) Twas ok as I ended up eating half an apple later in the day as a snack. That saved me taking a picture and recalculating the calories for this meal as I broke even.
Breakfast: 240 calories, 6 grams fat, 35.5 grams carbs, 5 grams fiber, 14 grams protein
Mmm, more salad. Same as yesterday (baby spinach, mixed greens, cranberries, apples, strawberries and cheese) but I threw some grilled chicken breast on top to add some protein and make it a bit more filling.
Lunch: 458 calories, 10.5 grams fat, 61.5 grams carbs… ...Continue reading
Haven’t updated lately due to the fact that I was at SMX West last week combined with a short trip to San Francisco and Wine Country. I ate bad. I avoided the sweets such as deserts and candy, however, I ate some starches and of the white variety. Pizza, breaded wings and pasta at Original Joe’s. Besides that, I was typically drinking Guiness in the evening which is likened oil (although it doesn’t taste like oil).
I was afraid I’d gain ten pound or more by the time I got back. I weighed in this morning and the scales said 225. Only 1 pound gained after a week of what I think of as “bad” eating habits.
Now I must confess that yesterday, I weighed 227 so in reality, I gained 3… ...Continue reading

Organic honey nut cheerios and hormone free skim milk. Yum.
Breakfast: 210 calories, 1.5 grams fat, 36 grams carbs, 2 grams fiber, 12 grams protein
Skipped my usual lunch at Panera today. After two weeks of eating out, I just couldn’t hack any more restaurant food. Instead, I ate a Zone bar and another apple.
Snack: 280 calories, 6 grams fat, 46 grams carbs, 7 grams fiber, 14 grams protein
Didn’t have time to fix much when I got home today, but needed *something* else to eat, so I pulled out another can of Progresso. If only they’d make this stuff with less sodium, it’d be such a good lunch… ...Continue reading
Chocolate Peanut Butter Zone bar. Really need to get to the store for some more Kashi…
Breakfast: 200 calories, 7 grams fat, 21 grams carbs, 3 grams fiber, 14 grams protein
Ahh, the little things. We were grocery shopping and the kids always get bananas during check out to keep them occupied. (Healthy, yummy treat.) I was really craving one as well, but in reality, bananas are really high in sugar and carbs, so I went with an apple instead.
Snack: 80 calories, 0 grams fat, 21 grams carbs, 4 grams fiber, 0 grams protein
Mmmm….oh how I missed my spinach salads. Seriously, as much as Italy rocked, the… ...Continue reading
