I don't want to be a victim-blamer, but...maybe you need to work on your egg-cracking technique? Looks to me like maybe you were trying to break the yolk...

This. A gait analysis from a running store will point you in the right direction.

I would go for a walk--maybe just a short one--and do some stretching. The walking will probably help with the soreness (as will the stretching) and might make you feel a little better about the splurge.

Thanks for the responses! Any thoughts about my training for the week between?
-
Homemade veggie pizza here. Whole wheat crust, topped with spinach, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and whatever else I find.
-
I've got a pork shoulder in the slow cooker right now--tonight we're having BBQ sandwiches and roasted sweet potato slices.

For me, setting a concrete goal makes a huge difference. I'm signed up to run my first 10k in April, and in order to be ready for it, I know I've got to stick to my training plan. Maybe you can sign up for a 5k (most welcome walkers as well as runners) to give your motivation a boost? Other than that...just do it!

I would get a bowl of chili and share a side of sweet potato fries with somebody.

bump. gotta try these!

I work from home and love to snack! I keep healthy snacking items on hand and plan on having a few hundred snack calories each day--though some days I have even more, depending on my work out and meals. I make sure at least one of my snacks is a piece of fruit and generally keep my snacks to a single serving or less…

I will watch the Walking Dead on Sunday, and check out the Grammy's red carpet pics on Monday.

I eat chocolate frequently. This morning I had dark chocolate peanut butter oats for breakfast. Yesterday I had 2 squares of Ghirardelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree. Keep your serving sizes in check and there's no reason not to enjoy chocolate if you want to.

Cheeseburgers, roasted sweet potatoes, and sauteed broccoli.
-
This is why I haven't bought CLIF bars in a while. I love them and if I have a box in the house, I have a really hard time eating only one.
-
I feel more satisfied if my meal includes some fat in addition to protein and fiber. Try incorporating fats into your breakfast and lunch and see if that makes a difference.

It's been almost a year since I gave up soda. I went cold turkey and the first week was pretty rough, even though I was drinking tea (with caffeine) instead.

Actually, 1/4 cup of steel-cut oats has 7g protein, roughly the same as 1 egg. ETA: OP, this is how I had mine yesterday, for 320 cals (50g carbs, 9g fat, 14g protein): 1/4 cup steel-cut oats, 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/2 T honey, 1/2 T dark cocoa powder, and 2 t natural peanut butter

My boyfriend and I celebrate Valentine's Day only because it's the day we met. We're going out for dinner that evening and will exchange small gifts.

Calories. I'm keeping it simple (for now).
-
How many calories are you working with? I would probably get a salad at Subway and double up on the meat.
-
Thanks for this! What a great idea!
-
I don't observe Lent, but last year it seemed like a good time to change a habit, so I gave up soda. I still haven't touched the stuff--and I used to drink at least 32oz each day. I'm not sure if I'll do anything this year, but I've been thinking of a few ideas of things I could give up for Lent: meat, eating at…

My Sunday nights are SO BORING without these shows. I've also read the ASOIAF books and am working my way through the Walking Dead graphic novels.
-
Some good ideas here already. I took a peek at your diary, and I would suggest you to stop eating "diet" foods such as skim milk, egg substitute, SmartOnes, FiberOne, etc. Full fat dairy (or even bumping up to 2%) will not add volume to your meals but will add calories. Use whole eggs instead of just the whites or egg…

Dry-roasted edamame! :love:
-
Seconding the suggestion to add some vegetarian meals to your rotation. Meat can get quite expensive. Dried beans and lentils are super cheap (about $1/pound in some cases) and can be a great way to add bulk and nutrition to a meal. Soups are usually an economical option, especially when you make it yourself. As for…

The gain is temporary (assuming you're keeping an accurate log). Keep logging here (and staying at your recommended NET intake), keep working out, and the scale will start moving in the right direction again. Also, if not already, you should take your measurements and use those as another way to gauge your progress.

Turkey BLTs with sauteed mushrooms (maybe a bit of cheese, too?) with a side of roasted sweet potato.

For 2 adults, our weekly grocery haul in Charlotte is typically $60-$80, though sometimes will go over $100 when stocking up on certain bulk items. I get a lot at Trader Joe's but also pop in at Harris Teeter and Earth Fare regularly.

Congrats on quitting! When I quit smoking, I gave myself a week or two break from counting calories, but continued working out 4-5 times per week. After the break, I had gained a couple pounds, but started losing again when I started logging again. I lost between 10-12 pounds in the first 6 months after I quit smoking--so…
