Could you make the Smoothie the night before? Leave it in the Blender Pitcher, then give it a real quick remix in the morning? Then poor and go?Savannah wrote: I'd have to do it on the weekends though*; on weekday mornings I'm just concentrating on getting out of the house on time.

Guidelines are:
Pick a goal weight, something small that you have vivid memories being. Say to yourself: I eat and live like a (145) lb person.
Calculate how many calories to maintain that weight. Figure in your BMI and activity level (a multitude of sites for this)
Eat that many calories per day. Keep a detailed diet diary religiously. Calorie books are a dime/dozen at thrift stores.
if you want to splurge one day, lower your calories a bit on the days prior to this event. Don't try to "catch up"...it never works.
Think of it like a reloadable calorie pre-pay card. Nothing is forbidden, just accounted for.
After 30 days of this, add exercise to speed up the weight loss. Tomorrow I add exercise. Today I'm just tickled that I reached my first goal weight.
No bullshit, hype or promises. Just math.
And I agree, winter is the best time for me to lose weight.
Yep me too. I need to stop it at least I am working out hard 4 days a week so that's keeping me even (I think). Sometimes the munchies get the better of me....As of late, I've been on a "see food" diet...ba-dum psshhhhh

Forgiven. I am now on bed rest... part of the internal mesh velcro let go this morning. I thought I was going to die. Horrible searing pain, I can't move without holding my side. Larry was able to come home to take me up to the doc. He says it is nothing alarming to him, although he can see why it is alarming to me. Many Lortabs, and Larry is home to day to pamper me. I will need a babysitter to check in on me, but we have that covered.Savannah wrote:Pull yourself together?ygmir wrote:*searching for funny pun*AntiM wrote:Staples come out today.

Hope it goes well today, AntiM! Forgive me.
Glad the staples are gone, & Larry is home.

I've been trying to get back to the fitness level I had in the military: 2 mile run, 50 pushups, 50 situps. So far I can barely run a mile. Meeting cute ladies at the hot tub after the workout is a good motivator for me!moonrise wrote:Happy New Year everyone! (a bit early)
I've been eating a better diet this past week, sloooow food, raw or cooked. My energy level lasts and lasts, especially the old apple a day thing (juiced with carrot and ginger) or eat 'em whole, yum, plentiful and in season!
How has everyone elses fitness plan been going? Spill it....and don't hold back, we can motivate eachother, or at least try harder!!
