MENA diet/exercise thread

[Nasturtium 500]

Oh I fell off the wagon in a big way this weekend as well. I was thinking to show you guys one of this pix you don't normally see of me with the tire growing around my gut when I put my skinny jeans on. Oh to be thin again with out having to eat all these veggies and exercise so much is a hard enough ideal to get myself back into with Charles blocking the road to success with pix of sweets and junk foods. It's does nothing for my will and motivation when stuffing another carrot into my pie hole.

What do you actually like to eat?

Or... what do you actually like to eat that contains vegetables?

Soups.

So, then, why don't you just eat a lot of soups with some other things tossed into the meal mix?

Curries, etc.. it's about physical activity and portion size then.

Good idea. Soups and curries. I've been doing this raw vegetable and salads thing and it made me eat McDonald's!

You can still mix in the fresh here and there, but no point in following something that you hate.

Jenn, did your weight loss come in stages or did you just drop sort of slowly the whole time? I was looking at it, and if you sropped slowly, it would be about a pound a week, but I thougyht I remembered you saying you were plateaued for a while.

I would usually plateau for 2 or 3 weeks and then drop 2 or 3 pounds at once.

Our new apartment complex has a nice fitness center, so today instead of working out here at work I'm going to check out the gym at home. Looking forward to maybe being able to mix things up a bit depending on what kind of equipment is available there!

Thank you for posting the good stuff Jenn!

I got my new vandal card so I can start working out at the gym. I have this friend, Lianna, and she is going to meet me at the gym M, W, Thur. to work out together and hold each other accountable. I will work out for at least 3 days a week but I want to get back to working out 5-6 days a week. All activity will take 1 hr. Lianna works out for 20mins she says just to get her day going. We're about the same in body issues. Although she has one thing on me and that's youth. She's 10 years younger than me so this is going to be much easier for her than it is for me. I've noticed gaining and losing weight has gotten much harder for me as I got older. Especially now that I've matured and mellowed out from my spit fire and vinegar days in my teens and 20's.

I might join ya, Bridget. But as of today I hearby announce I am now logging in all of my calories for the day. I eat healthy, but I think I'm overeating by not measuring things exactly. And I want to lose weight faster than I have been.

Logging here I come~!
