    Sunshine: tagging so I can watch your progress. Looks like you are doing really great so far - a really big visual difference considering the short amount of time.

    Down another 1.4 pounds. The weight is just melting off o.O

    Managed to make it through the week still in a deficit. Was hard. I had 4 exams and worked 37 hours. STILL got into the gym to lift on schedule though.

    No excuses

    Excellent progress, even without the challenges. With them - fantastic!

    Thanks guys!

    My exercise for the week was PT two days (lots of body weight work), full body lift 2 days, and lots of walking xD
    My car died on me, so I ahve to walk everywhere I go. 40 minutes just to get to class

    Cleaning out a lot of my pantry. Looks like it was successful last week! Ate too much junk though, so I wasn't full like I like to be xD Now all I have left is a ton of oatmeal, rice, beans, ramen, and misc foods for cooking. Not bad!

    Increasing my veggie intake. Today's food:

    roasted broccoli

    spicy sweet potato fries ( I like my fries a little burnt xD)

    2012-09-14_20-38-26_554.jpg



    Ate a lot of my shredded apricot pork too, but it's not the prettiest food xD
  • Yummy! What's your broccoli roasting method?

    I made stuffed mushrooms today :)

    My TDEE is surprisingly high on days I work both my jobs. Around 2800 today.
  • What did you stuff them with? Wow-you're burning a ton! no wonder 2000 is so effective for you. Way to go girlie!

    Yum! Mushys are the bomb. As you can tell from my omelette, i am tempted to try that coconut prawn dish you've made.

    Broccoli - I just coat with olive oil, seasonings, and roast for 20 minutes at 400 :)
    I thought I hated broccoli until I tried it roasted xD

    Stuffing for my mushrooms was nothing fancy since I didn't have much. Cream cheese, green onions, garlic, onion, cracked pepper, and panko crumb topping :)


    Thanks love! My TDEE is so much higher than it used to be, its kind of nice :)
  • sunshine--you. are. awesome. that is all! :)

    Wow, nice work Sunshine! Did you ever post the recipe for your slow cooker apricot pork? I am slightly obsessed with my slow cooker right now and I'd love to try it.

    which one? Mushroom yes, but that's only because I've hated them since I was a kid. Pork, don't care what it looks like. That will be tasty! I've bought my pork and will do it early next week I think. Was just going to use some apricot nectar in the slow cooker and see how that goes.
  • I love love love love love..did i say love?....MUSHROOMS! :) YUM!

    Sunshine...what's your plan after this 8 weeks is over? Maintain? Diet break? Lean bulk?

    Busy day! Not much time to check in :)

    @love would be fun kicking it in NYC for sure! A lot more fun than the Midwest I bet :)
    Not really sure what my goals are after the 8 weeks. I might need another 2-4 weeks of cutting, but only at a 250 cal deficit. Then maintain until December (seeing my boyfriend!) then a lean bulk :D
  • You and your bf are long distance? How far away are you? How often will you see each other?

    Yup we are! I live in Iowa, and he lives in Washington :C

    I go out there during spring break (1 week) winter break (3 weeks) and just spent 3 months living out there with him in the summer :)
