CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 18, 2014 I will have to make up for those empty calories by more exercise or cutting out other food. Time to bust out the Insanity DVD That's what I am thinking!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted August 18, 2014 And for me....I am not interested in getting ripped I just want to lose the extra lbs.....I always like to hear what other people eat that works.....Cole and I live off chicken during wrestling season and I have gotten to where I grill up a batch every Sunday so I have something good to snack on.....which I was a better fan of fish I hear it is really good too....

bonecollector Report post Posted August 18, 2014 I didnt weigh in this morning but last week I changed up from jogging 3 times a week to running 40 yd sprints. Whoo was I sore for a few days, what a difference from jogging to sprinting is. Every Sunday I cook a package of chicken breasts for lunch for the week with avocado and a tortilla. If I could cut out my carbs I think I would be good to go but its too hard to. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperwrx Report post Posted August 18, 2014 Mark, Thanks for the reply. I'll work on limiting dinner foods first and we'll see how it goes. I have eaten terribly unhealthy my entire life but in the last 10 years my metabolism has slowed continuing my current diet is pushing the weight up and up. Aside from the dietary formula you follow do you do excersize? Not eating breads, pastas, and pepsi is bad enough, do I gotta excersize too? I am typing this while I eat a quick lunch of a spicy chicken cup a soup and drinking a can of pepsi at my desk! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 18, 2014 Non-typical.... hard to beat some good sockeye ... That is what is for lunch today for me along with a spinach salad and half an avocado .... easy to make a good baked salmon too I think I could live on Salmon, spinach and avocado....all my favorites! Safeway now carries frozen alaskan sockeye salmon which I always have on hand in our freezer for quick dinner and safeway also carries Demings canned sockeye salmon that I use to make a salmon pasta salad with lots of veggies in it -- I make it in advance and take it camping with us. I use Brianna's Poppyseed dressing for that salmon pasta salad and it's wonderful! I think you could make salmon burgers with the canned salmon but haven't done it yet. It has bones in the can, but they are soft and easy to eat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am typing this while I eat a quick lunch of a spicy chicken cup a soup and drinking a can of pepsi at my desk! 1. Yes I do - 6 days a week at 5:30am 2. It certainly helps and after the initial shock/soreness it makes you feel great 3. Lunch of Champions!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted August 25, 2014 Ok last week I did 4 runs for a total of ten miles, the last one finally felt good and had a decent pace (8:45). I was successful at reducing my pop in take again. I also found a morning breakfast routine that keeps me from getting hungry mid-morning. Weighed in at 216 but that was after downing a bunch of water for my run. Hoping for more progress this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Healy Arms Report post Posted August 25, 2014 Overslept this morning - late to my workout - Monday... Lost 10 minutes but it still kicked my butt. I'm 204.4 on the scale this morning. Down another pound and officially 40lbs down and officially half way to the goal. Funny how some weeks you workout like a champ and eat well - lose nothing. The next week you lose 3. The next you're up 2. and then down 1. And then all of a sudden you feel different your clothes magically get loose in one single day and you've lost 5. And that's 5 that doesn't come back. That's an official new low spot on the scale. Odd but true. It's been a roller coaster - but it's going tin the right direction. My midsection is down 6 inches since December 1 of 2013. Until next week... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted August 25, 2014 Lost one pound this week.....working on increasing veggies and decreasing pasta....I also have been enjoying experimenting with a variety of types of Chia seed pudding....great stuff and my husband even likes it! and it does make a very filling and healthy bfast, desert or snack! Thanks Str8shot for that suggestion in the healthy recipe thread! For exercise I haven't really increased what I have been doing, it's still fieldwork season for me, so lots of long hikes in the hills plus shorter walks daily with my husband and dogs. After fieldseason ends I will be doing more hill work with a pack on for my upcoming Oct Coues hunt. At least this time of year is great to be out in the desert....here is one of the places we hiked last week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
