Watch that elegant video @gianmarco linked to earlier this month.I think the bolded nails it for me. I'm not overweight because I eat to much turkey. Or Broccoli. Or cheese. I'm overweight because of the heavy carbs and ice cream and cookies and chocolate etc. If I made this singular change, just giving up sugar, and continue otherwise doing my thing, I bet I'd get fit fast.
Try provolone cheese instead of rice cakes. A million times tastier. Yeah, it's more calories but it's low carb!
No it’s not. It’s just a benchmark on your journey. It may not be what you want right now, but recognizing it’s not where you want to be and knowing why you’re where you are and what you need to change that is already a win.krista4 said:Tomorrow's weigh-in is going to be a disaster.

Zero benefit to tomorrow's weigh in. My next one is scheduled for Jan 9, give or take. By then I should have at least a few days of normal eating strung together and whatever excess water weight is hanging around will have fallen off.krista4 said:Tomorrow's weigh-in is going to be a disaster.
Well, welcome to the thread where this kind of determination goes to die.
I'm so with you. Yeah, let's do something. Should we should do a distance competition? Or like a 5k competition? I don't even know how comparable our times are, my best was 21 and change the other day, I think you've been doing well below 20 mins for a 5k. Maybe distance is the right play here, and the right way to keep us both motivated to keep at it.
Oatmeal and pork by themselves are fine, they may not be depending on how they are incorporated with the rest of your plan. And how processed your oatmeal. Also, qualify salad. Not for us; for yourself. Some salads are incredibly unhealthy. Many are. Start with the dressing (type and amount), cheese, and type of lettuce.
Didn’t come close to meeting my goals for December. Got as low as 252 but will finish the year around 255. Currently at 2 weeks without a soda which is a big deal for me. Some days that’s all I would drink. Haven’t got into the routine I need with exercise. I ride the Peloton a couple times a week but not very long at this point. I did go for a 6 am walk/run around the lake this morning so that may be a better fit. We’ll see if I can stick with it. No travel until Feb 27 which is where I usually mess up so hoping to keep working towards healthier eating and trying to get into a sustainable exercise routine.
Distance works for me, but I have no real illusion to wanting to do other "types" of workouts in the immediate future which would likely be to my advantage. That said, if you want to put one more month into rowing I am game for a straight meter challenge*. $100 seems light as a motivating factor. Something like loser gives $500 to charity + $250 to the victor would probably be enough for me at least - though if we need to sweeten the pot for someone of your means....that probably can be arranged. Thanks, CYDY.Otis said:
Nuts are pretty solid. I like almonds, cashews (little higher in carbs though), etc.
12/30: +0.6 lbs
Back to it now.
Keep the diet honest and continue to run routes in the shape of butts, and you will get thereJust to keep myself honest. I started 1 month and weigh the same. It was obviously a tough month diet wise....
Week 1 : -4
Week 2 : +1.2
Week 3: - .5
week 4: +3 - hey it was up 8 at one point
Total: Blutarsky GPA
Not a win but not a loss
My short term goal is to lose 15 pounds by 2/1 - slightly aggressive I know maybe unrealistic. - adjusted for realism
My full goal is 40 by 5/1 that would put me at 175.
No, unfortunately not.
Better than a Coors light isn't saying much but I need an IPA that is less calories than the usual too many.No, unfortunately not.
I mean, its better than a Coors light, but its not going to make your forget your favorite juicy IPA hop-bomb.

*Due to differences in times it seems hard to concoct an appropriate time based challenge without some sort of confusing handicapping system that would be both difficult to understand and to make fair so I'd shy away from that I think.
Just got back from the gym and poured a healthy glass of egg nog.
I got back on track a few days ago which is before the typical Jan 2. I felt like crap eating so much junk for a few weeks. I'm not back to where I started a month ago but I'm headed in the right direction. Let's all get on track now and stay on track.belljr said:
Ok let me think on it some more today and I will confirm. Just want to figure out how this works in with my overall workout plan.
Year-end up date:
If that is the Steve guy, he's apparently a world class athlete with aspirations of running the Olympic qualifying marathon. He doesn't count.
I'm ditching beer for 2020, and beyond I would expect. I reasonably estimate that I spend $2,000 annually on it, so I'll do some Tecumseh like banking and put $40 a week into an envelope and perhaps reward myself with something come 2021. Actually, probably better to set up a new savings account and electronically transfer the money. What could go wrong with an envelope full of $20?
