So I pretty much ate the same thing yesterday and today since I pretty much eat the same things every day except for dinner... but we went out for dinner with my parents last night(the Keg, the only safe option I know in town right now and sooo good!) and I brought home half my salmon (I resisted eating the whole thing!) UUmm...I LOVE the Outback salmon!! , which I had tonight. So it was...

Breakfast
English muffin, oatmeal with applesauce & almonds, scrambled egg whites

Lunch
Soup with bread, apple

Snack
Melba toast with hummus

Dinner
Salmon and baked potato (plus some bread before dinner at the restaurant yesterday) - oh the salmon at the Keg is sooooo good, it's baked on a cedar plank...mmmmmmm! it just melts in your mouth....

Snack
Bagel & cup of soymilk


Totals (pretty much the same yesterday and today so I'll just write the averages)

Calories: 2050 (too high )
About 10:70:20 for fat:carbs:protein (good)
Water: not enough about 1.5 L probably both days (uh, about 50 oz I think)
Fruits & Veggies (copying you Casey, it's a good goal! ): 5

Exercise: lots of running around campus today, but nothing beyond that... l I was supposed to do yoga and cardio today but my sister was staying with us last night so getting up early to go to that wasn't a good option, and, more importantly, I have a huge thesis paper due tomorrow that is taking up all my time today - which I should be working on right now... lol get to it girl!!

New goals are to cut down on calories a little, to about 1700-1800 as an upper limit. (Today and yesterday were kind of high; I usally average around 1900) and to NOT SKIP WORKOUTS! The real goal behind all that is to drop my body fat percentage a little and gain some lean muscle mass maybe in its place. I don't really want or need to lose weight, but I would like to cut a little for summer. My body fat percentage right now is 21%, so I'd only like to drop it 1 or 2 points. Great plan!! BTW..I'd kill to be your percentage!! LOL (someday I tell ya!!)

Ok that's it for me! Back to writing, it's going to be an all-nighter for sure... sigh... :P good luck

Alright, here we go with the not giving up and rather Reporting in like normal. I'm SO proud of you for not giving up!!

Exercise: None. I ran around from one thing to another today and barely got a chance to eat in between errands, but most of 'em were in my car for fair periods of time so I can't even count my 'running around' as actual running around. well that sucks..but I'm sure you burned something..
Food Budget: 1209

Breakfast: Key Lime Pie Luna Bar and Applesauce = 273 calories

Lunch: Subway 6" turkey sandwich on white bread with easy light mayo and sweet onion sauce, some lettuce and tomatoes = 331 calories

Dinner: Baked potato with 1tsp ICBINB with half a tin of tuna 1/2 tbsp of ultra light mayo = 337 calories Great dinner Steph!

Snack: Handful of jellybeans and 4 arrowroot cookies = 240 calories

For a total of... 1181 - within my calorie budget! YAH!!
Mind you, I am totally hungry now so I might try and find a snack that is low cal later... I am out of applesauce, maybe a ricecake or something. yes, don't starve yourself.... you body will store the fat..
Thanks for the support all!! You bet... keep it up.... {{hugs}}
Cheers!
--Steph

Three cheers for Shell for her bodyfat report!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on me!

Stephie - (I am Stef too BTW ) glad to hear you are back on track - you can do it!!! as they would say in "Waterboy."

Here's Wednesday:

Breakfast 1/2 serving of oatmeal made w/soy milk topped w/dried cherries, OJ w/fiber, mint tea
Snack apple, coffee w/works
Lunch Same veggie/hummus wrap as yesterday, dried cherries, mint tea
Snack Nature valley chewy trail mix bar
Dinner Same chicken fajita w/the fixins as yesterday
Dessert MORE dried cherries - definitly exceeded my limit on those today

Excercise just some excercises on the ball and some crunches. Foot is more sore today. that little bugger needs to heel!!

Water ~70oz

Also weighed myself yesterday - holding steady at 138.75 lbs. Maybe it was the bridal show that set me back, or maybe this is another reason to try harder to give up the coffee! Yes, that works for me...hehehe

Also, I have decided to buy a house/condo! I have been planning to move out of my apt at the end of this month, but until yesterday I didn't know if I'd move to a different apt or save to buy. I'll have to stay w/my parents for a few months to save but in the end I think it'll be worth it Oh, that is SO exciting.... I'm so happy for you!!

I'm sure they have this on fitday I've just not seen it!

How do you find out your body fat percdentage? If there are lots of numbers involved...is anyone willing to help me figure it out? Thanks *hugs*

---

I've only had mine done at the gym with a pair of calipers... I think you can also do it with a mesuring tape too...but I'm not sure how the numbers are figured out.... hopefully someone else can help out here... I just don't know.

You are the best! I was just thinking that you are the PERFECT moderator for this board...you're so helpful and knowledgeable! Thanks!! You just made my day!!

So if I count my Rooibos as half a mug of liquids, that'll be erring on the "safe" side. Cool. way cool!

Yeah, I guess it was a good day... I know I ate enough, but I didn't feel like I did. I'm having a really rough time right now. Today's been a horrible day, I'm sure I'll complain about that later. LOL and we will be here to listen and help where we can.
