1) Log accurately and follow my eating plan (I slipped a little at lunch, but everything will be balanced out by my workout) 2) Exercise 40 to 45 minutes tonight (mostly aerobics) 3) Run the last errands before Christmas. I don't want to be in stores tomorrow!

I would totally be down for a new challenge. I admit that the group was a little more quiet than I tought, so I hope everyone will kick the new year with renewed motivation. I don't have any idea for a theme or anything like that, but I'll be there.

I so love elk steaks. And you can eat, like, half a pound of elk and you've still ate only 250 cals. More room for fries and/or creamed spinach. Now, give me some rare elk steak with a big piece of that chocolate-coconut bar. I'll die happy.

The cauliflower pizza made me crave pizza. But the real one, with crust. Yum. As for the emu, I had never taste it, but ostrich is relatively available in Quebec (not common, but you see sometimes ostrich burgers in pub, and I also ate ostrich meat in a fondue pot). I wonder if emu and ostrich have a similar taste, because…

Maybe you could schedule some time off logging food and exercise, like a three day strike without bothering to log it, but still being careful? Sometimes, logging add to my stress because I feel anxious and guilty about my food choices, even when they are good. When I' not logging, I find myself weighing and mesuring, but…

1) Survive hangover. That's it for today. ;)

Pork osso bucco and papardelle with tapenade. So good!

I did good with my yesterday goals and finally lost 1.5 pound! Yay! I didn't have time to do everything on my list (I did the pictures thing, and started with the laundry pile, but I still have to do my countdown to Christmas plan). Goals for today, almost similar as yesterday: 1) Log accurately and weight everything I can…

I miss biking to work too. :(

Congratulations!! I can't believe you're still obese as per BMI chart, you look pretty fit in your last pictures. Good job!

Thanksgiving porn. Literally.

People are camping in the wild with only a cooler and they can use it for five days without any risk if they're careful when they take things out. With a proper ice pack, a paper towel to absorb moist drippings and an insulate bag, she should be able to keep her food COLD for at least 8 hours. OP seems to have a lot of…

You make me feel sad. :( Sandgry?

Also: You're not logging consistently. You're logging three days in a row, then you stop, then you start again. Constancy in logging, even when you're over, even on cheat days, is the only way to have an accurate portrait of your food intake. I will start with that. When you're over your calorie goals, you're often over in…

I just rated your diet with constructive comments, suggestions and examples, and you didn't bother answering something. You're not interested in constructive criticism, you're interested in fighting people over the internet.

IMO: Love the idea of lentils for breakfast. I would personnally make a herby yogurt sauce with the greek yogurt (and I would take one that have fat) to pour over de lentils and I would drizzle the olive oil over, so the breakfast would be on the savory side, but this is my personal taste. I usually eat omelet or morning…

Goals for today: - Log accurately - Exercise (elliptical + yoga) with the HRM, to have a more accurate net calorie total at the end of the day - Cook a soup for morning snack this week

I did great with my goals yesterday. I had an awesome workout and stayed well under my calorie goal. And the scale moved! Not a lot, but I didn't see a move in a while. Goals for today are simple: 1) Log accurately. 2) Get some form of exercise (probably elliptical and yoga). 3) Make two job applications (more a personal…

I had a somewhat iffy weekend. I'm happy to be back in the week day routine. I'm plateauing right now, but it's probably all my fault (and booze fault, because of all the social event I am attending these days, even if I'm reasonable). So this week, the focus will be on details. Today's goal: 1) Plan food for two or three…

I made shakshuka this morning to cure my hangover, and it was quite good.

Ok, so I was a pretty good girl today, and I did fine with my goals! :) 1) Didn't had wine with the steak because I didn't care to open a bottle for only a glass, but I used those 150 cals to eat bread and butter instead. Totally worth it. 2) I made a 24 minutes Tabata workout (it's 5 series of an exercise repeated 4 times…

Oops, I did a bad job at quotation above. I wanted to quote only the part about procrastinating instead of writing.

Same here :/

I'm actually happy with how I did yesterday about my goals. I was able to manage one substantial snack before dinner, so I wasn't utterly humgry before dinner, and I did my elliptical thing... not before dinner, but still, I did it. And I was a pretty good girl during my grocery shopping. So here are the goals for today:…

Love the idea of a decluttering project. I kind of doing the same, but haven't phrase it this way. I found it motivating.

I did ok with my goals overall. I eat as planned and didn't snack a lot at work, and I exercised 35 minutes on my elliptical, but not right after work because I was too hungry. I cleaned the kitchen and packed lunch before exercising, so it was almost 22 o'clock when I finished my workout (thus failing my third goal). But…

<3

Here are my goals for today: 1) Follow my meal plan for the day and resist the urge to snack. 2) Jump on the elliptical as soon as I am back from work (35 min. workout). 3) Do some chores instead of watching TV and go to bed early. And as it's a new week, here are my goals for the week. 1) Throw in at least four 35 minutes…

I just came back from a weekend in Vermont where I ate french fries and bacon and pizza and drank a lot of beer (and wine... and cider... and bourbon... oh well), so I didn't weigh in this morning, and won't for at least two days, because I don't want to be demoralized by all the water weight. I'll figure it out on…

I'm leaving Montreal today for a weekend in Vermont with friends that would probably include indulging and drinking. Here are my goals for the weekend: 1) Don't go overboard with the indulge-and-drink thing even if I'm not logging (I did great in NY this summer, I certainly can do great in Vermont) 2) Walk, walk, walk.…
