DM actually turned me onto this workout. I am in Phase 1, working on workout set two currently. I'm doing my best to do the 40/30/30 plan, but don't always stick as well to it as I can, but I do get plenty of protein. I just wolfed a cheese and chicken quesadilla to satiate my craving for taco bell.
Anyway, I'm 5'1, 114, and at 17.5% bodyfat currently. I hope to get rid of what I perceive as my jigglybelly, but at the same time, I want to be able to lift and carry the 30 pound box of kitty litter with ease. Meals for me vary, since I am living with my boyfriend who is a picky eater, but I do my best. Today it was pretty basic stuff, I was in a hurry to make it to work on time:
B: Greek yogurt, 3 strips turkey bacon, oatmeal toast
S: 2 string cheese, celery
L: Healthy choice beef tips portobello meal, carrots and hummus
S: 20 almonds, live active cheddar cheese stick
D: Chicken and cheese quesadilla with extra chicken and light cheese, plus salsa. I'm going to be having some red pepper strips with hummus or an apple with peanut butter a little later.
As of my last workout i was doing:
Squats: 2x12 at 65lbs
Pushups from floor, 1x12, 1x11
dumbbell press: 2x12 at 15lbs each hand
lunges since all the steps and benches were taken: 2x12 each leg at 15lbs
prone jackknife: 2x10 without falling off the ball!

I am totally neglecting this log. I don't have much in the way of goals. I am a small person, so I'm not trying to become smaller, just to add "definition". My stats are
Height: 5'1"
Weight: 114
BF:17.5%
Waist: 24.5
Hips: 35
Thigh: 21
Today I'm planning on doing a quick workout before we go to the grocery store after dinner. It will be just weights because I don't get home until about six and we like to have the groceries all shopped up before nine.
Foodwise, I'm really balanced overall. My stats tend to be 45% carbs, 25% fat, and 30% protein. On less carbs and more fat i find that I seriously crave high-carb foods, so I tweaked. Some days it is mroe, some it is less, but that's the average overall.

NOT GOOD. (i overeat reese's cups like t hey're water..)
Don't do it. So not worth it. That's manufactured crap... which is why my reasons for not doing it are somewhat sacrilegious. I'd much rather take some natural peanut butter and sprinkle a few quality choc. chips on top... then it's more natural, more protein, less junk, and equally satisfying. Throw it all on a celery stick, and... well...ok. At least that way, it would be better. Maybe not good, but better.

I like your simple and easy food logging. This part is proving to be the most difficult, because of the time and effort it takes me to plan healthful meals and snacks. I tend to undereat, then gorge on high carb stuff. Milk has made a dramatic comeback into my diet which is helping me get good calories and feel fuller during the day.
I had been using fitday, but really the planning part is more difficult than the actual reporting - oh yes, and reese's are deadly...
Thanks Lisa, that's how I scribble it down when I'm eating it. My boyfriend and I are about to switch it up to him cooking dinner 3x a week, me cooking 3x a week, and us collaborating 1x a week because my schedule at work is changing to where I won't get home from work until 7pm. Ick. I'm working on cleaner eating, and it's not always easy for me. Tonight I'm really tempted to make the pizza roll-ups I had planned for my cheat day, white pizza crust and all, but I think I'm going to suck it up and fix chicken and cheese quesadillas, since yesterday we ate at the ballpark.
