Fruit and Greek yogurt

I personally have found that cutting portion size of carbs and grains is the easiest way to get to a calorie deficit. For example, I might have 1/3 cup quinoa with a moderate piece of chicken or salmon plus a bunch of veggies for dinner. Fairly easy to stick to < 400 calories/meal with this approach.

Kirkland brand (Costco) are low in sugar, high in protein. A moderate 190 calories so ok for a light breakfast or big snack.
-
I have zero restraint with candy and chocolate. I just get the family to stash it away so I don't have to resist it everytime I walk into the kitchen.

Sunshine, Lake Louise, Norquay, Big White, Tremblant

Dried beans and lentils. Buy bulk chicken and ground beef when on sale at Costco, put into individual servings and freeze.
-
I figure slow and steady is the way to go. It is good preparation for how you will have to eat when you reach your goal weight.
-
I have dramatically cut down on sugar and "junk food" since starting my weight loss journey 3 months ago. Things were really hard the first few weeks, but you will get used to it as you form new and healthier habits.
-
Forget about it and get back on track today. Maybe some extra exercise time the rest of the week?
-
Rowing machine at the gym.

Most people in my swim club have speedo short find. I like using them, but my first paid fell apart in about a year. Second pair is going on two years.

She would be better with more regular attendance (I only make half my masters practises due to work travel).
-
I've been doing squats and lunges twice a week at the gym starting in September to get ready for ski season. Trips are booked to Big White, Banff/Lake Louise and Tremblant.
-
Swim 3-4x, gym 2-3x. I try and bike, hike, walk or play at the park with the family on my off days.
-
45 min with the masters club. Mostly fast 50 frees but a bit of drill and IM at the start.
-
I am also worried! I plan to cut out the candy and chips this year and stick to my favorite treats- Mom's buttertarts and stuffing. Plus ramp up the exercise to a couple hours a day when I'm off on vacation.
-
I feel like I work harder on the treadmill than outside. No breaks at lights or slowing down to pass people etc. Just run at least a portion of your treadmill run at a modest elevation.
-
Today at work, I turned down free muffins and stopped after two slices of veggie pizza for lunch. A few months ago, I would have eaten the extra 1500 calories without thinking about it. Saying no gets easier everytime you do it. Prelogging my entire day the night before helps me stay on track.

24x100 m free with fins
-
1.5 hrs with my masters club including 10x100m on 2:00 including rest which nearly killed me. Too much wine the night before
-
I think for the beginner and intermediate swimmer, every 3rd stroke is a good plan to work on a balanced stroke. Once you get into advanced territory, your stroke is probably balanced no matter how you breathe. I very often see beginners who grossly over rotate to their breathing side and no rotation to non breathing side.

I also struggle with this. The only solution appears to be spend time practicing in cold water.
-
Swimming or rowing machine. Weight lifting too.
-
I had a bad habit of Netflix and snacking in the evening and/or snacking while bored or stressed. I have stopped watching netflix and replaced bad habits and coping mechanisms with something healthier. It sounds a bit cheesy, but 15 min of mfp success stories usually is enough to keep me on track.

On the surface my skinny husband appears the same. He'll go crazy at the all you can eat sushi joint and when at a friend's house....but when you keep a closer eye on things, he actually walks 60 min+ a day, only has about 150 calories for breakfast and will often go to bed feeling hungry.
-
1.8k before work. Mix of free and IM.
-
Does your gym have a rowing machine? Something simple you can do is add 5-10 min of rowing to work some different muscles.
-
I lack restraint when junk food is in the house. If the husband wants some chips, he'll stash them in his office and eat them after I go to bed. I'm allergic to nuts, so if I buy baked goods or ice cream for the family, I'll buy with nuts. I do find it helpful to pre-log junk food and weigh out a 100 g portion of chips…
-
2.2 k including a timed 400 m - 7:15 starting from wall.

I have done Sprint Tris with my mountain bike. There are even shorter races called "Try a tri" or similar. You don't need to buy any fancy equipment and you can see if you like it.
