Hi all,
I realize I'm starting a bit late. I figure I won't see many complaints on being a day late with this crowd
Major Goals:
1. To indulge myself once a day with something delicious. (Friends, let me warn you on the front end that I am a huge fan of chocolate, overly sweetened coffees, and cheese.)
2. To lower my body fat by one percentage point. Yup, no pounds need to be lost here. More on that in a little bit.
3. To meet my WEEKLY nutrient goals – taking in 50% carbs, 25-30% fat, 20-25% protein.
4. Use a blend of running, weight lifting, and yoga to strengthen my body.
Minor Goals:
4. Maintain my fabulous figure. I love my pear shaped figure. The next person who tells me that my thighs are “the only part of my body that doesn’t look aesthetically pleasing” will get punted.
5. To show that you can still enjoy foods you like while losing weight: because if I have a fabulous, balanced day full of fruits, veggies and lean protein and then choose to eat a Milky Way Midnight, I think the only appropriate response should be: "HEY YOU'RE AWESOME" not "try better tomorrow!"

For everyone's information, these are my guideline numbers for my day-to-day nutrition on days without workouts:
1500, 206 carbs, 42 fat, 75 protein, 16 fiber.
I don't follow these daily. As a general rule of thumb, my days balance out over the course of the week.0 -
And, for the important part.
Over the next month, I will be periodically reporting daily intake and daily workouts.
I will report on statistics at the beginning of every Tuesday morning.
I will also be providing food porn, when time allows 0 -

Playing catch up: Yesterday's stats
Yesterday was a big day. I went to see Jack Johnson perform as a belated birthday gift to myself. So what did I do to celebrate?
- 45 minutes of AM lifting. My body is still recovering. It was phenomenal.
- I WENT ALL OUT. I went to my favorite Tex Mex place for dinner - tacos, queso, salsa, and Mexican rice.
- After dinner, I took a fifteen minute walk.... down the street to my favorite Italian bakery to get dessert: cannoli.
- I got home late and crashed into bed.
