Fruit for breakfast

Or with breakfast…

With an egg and 2% american cheese sandwich. This meal has approximately 371 calories.

I decided to sleep in this morning because M and I stayed up last night watching the Olympics. If you missed it, the snowboarding was phenomenal! I might try to get a bike ride in tonight, but we will [...]

Sweet Potato Fries for the win!

Lunch was a Jimmy John’s Beach Club (#12) and a pickle. Looked something like this:

Of course, I had it without mayo (and sprouts, although I should really start eating those!). ‘Twas delicious and only 576 calories (even less if you skip the cheese but I decided not to today).

Had about 4 unpictured mini Reese’s Cups [...]

Confession

I have a confession to make. I haven’t posted about my 60 day challenge because I’m failing at it miserably. I haven’t met my food related goals for one solid day yet.

I feel like I’m in a never ending cycle: I make a plan, I start the plan (or don’t even get that far in [...]

The 60 Day Challenge

60 days from tomorrow I will be heading to beautiful California for the first time ever. M and I are going for the wedding of two of my law school classmates.  Several of my other classmates are making the trek as well and we are making a bit of a vacation out of the weekend. [...]

Indoor Triathlon

Last Sunday, I did an indoor triathlon at the local JCC. I didn’t know what to expect and was quite nervous, but turned out I had no reason to. This indoor triathlon was 20 minutes of each exercise. A little different from a normal triathlon which is obviously biking > running > swimming in terms [...]

Weekly Weigh-In

I wish that I had good news to report, but somehow I gained 2 pounds since yesterday and a pound since last week. I had Indian for lunch yesterday which was an indulgence, but I can’t imagine it was a 7000 calorie indulgence. Oh well, I guess we’ll see what next week brings!

In other news, [...]

Running on Empty

That’s how I felt this morning as I attempted to do my interval workout for the week. My workout called for 3 1-mile intervals at 6.8 mph. I managed the first one just fine, but after that it was downhill.  I think I was hungry and worn out from the weekend. I decided to call [...]

Priorities and a Weigh-In

Here are my current priorities in life:

Working
Working out
Spending time with M
Cooking each night
Losing 30 pounds

The problem with those priorities is that they push the other priorities out: the thing that happens to fall out of the list the most is unfortunately this  blog. I just want to put it out there that if I have [...]

Daily Burn

Turns out stalking people on Twitter pays off every now and then. Yesterday, I saw a conversation between two bloggers about their favorite place to track calories. One blogger was about to come over to daily plate which I have been using for a while, and the other suggested Daily Burn. Then later the [...]

Pizza and Twizzlers

I wish I had something catchy to say about eating pizza and twizzlers like Jen did yesterday (she’s great btw, go read now! and then come back). Unfortunately, I didn’t eat healthy versions of these (are there healthy versions of twizzlers). In fact, I ate 490 calories of twizzlers.

I ate 2042 calories total yesterday. I’m [...]
