another quick thought... If you are not eating much in the evening, you need to get something in the tank when you get up (its called break-fast for a reason..). I usually drink a protein shake right before I go to bed to get my numbers. If you have ever hit "the wall" during a long workout or intense cardio you will know…

If I am going to workout/run for more than an hour I will jam about 200 calories of fruit (fast energy) - I usually make my juice drinks with just enough left over to jam in the morning either right before, or right after my workout. I carry a stainless thermos (Vacuum insulated 18oz) full of my juice blend (blueberries,…

I agree ^^^with both of the above. When I wasn't paying attention (and habitually overeating) I couldn't really tell a difference. Now I can tell when I eat a "big" meal.. no doubt. I am eating much less but plenty for my actual needs. Still learning..

Be careful with the heat.... it can hurt you. Sweat is good but please make sure that you are hydrated before you start. Best of luck.... and I really enjoy my walk/runs all by myself (or my dog) it is about the only time that I really get to myself. Jam some earbuds in and enjoy the music while taking in the stars or…

I am interested in that as well.... just because I am curious. I have been very disciplined about logging everything that goes down the hatch and have a solid understanding of how much I intake and am learning more and more about how much I burn so I know that (overall) the frozen vs cooked weight won't really make that…

Muscle Milk (light) tastes better to me than any other that I have tried. I usually stick to the vanilla though. Sure beats powders of the past....

Basically the same thing here. My challenge is that I am the only one in my family of 4 that need, or is trying, to drop LBs. I have to plan out my meals, not doing that and going with whats fast/convenient is why I go to where I was at. Add in some personal medical issues and it was a recipe for trouble. Just like…

I fire up the grill 4-5 days a week - and on the days that I am not firing up the grill I am eating leftovers from the day before. I have a busy week coming up so I cooked a bunch of chicken breasts yesterday to go in my lunches (salads) for the week. A few from the back porch... As much as I love bacon I have gotten good…

Not sure why the images didn't show up..... gotta run but will try again later today.

Simply amazing, Keep on keeping on!!! I am curious as to why you are concerned about joining a gym.... you have more than proven that you can do amazing things, If going to the gym can (it will!) open up new options so you can continue on your journey I say do it! Of course, check with your doc, get a trainer and explain…

Yep.... show him the door. Sounds like he has his priorities F'ed up. Unless he is concerned about your health and it's not just him being selfish.

I have to knock out my workout first thing in the morning (4am) so it's just a big glass of water and off I go. I follow up the workout with more water and eat when I get to work which is ~1 hour after. It works well for me and I am far from hungry, I know I need to "feed the machine" so I try and make good choices and get…

Exercise, IMO, will supplement proper nutrition but its all about what you put in your mouth. I used to think I could hammer out bad eating decisions in the gym and I was flat out wrong. Keep working out, but you have to focus on what you are consuming.

It really is amazing, eyeopening and more than a little sad in my experience. I knew that I was over eating, just really never put the data in front of me. I feel empowered and I am just getting started. One thing that I really like is the ability to make better choices keeping an overall goal in mind.
