Hi! I'm a fellow challenger and slowly getting through some logs. I didn't think I was hungry until I read your log. Your diet sounds great! Lots of variety and yumminess!
I'll be using you for those days when I need some food inspiration, thanks!
Thank you! I feel like I eat the same thing all of the time but it's easier to log my food every day and to go grocery shopping that way. The greek yogurt concoction is really good with fruit added (which reminds me that I forgot to record the blueberries I added to it yesterday in my previous post!)
I had planned my Greek yogurt concoction for a last meal but wasn't hungry for it; I also didn't finish my dinner because I didn't like how my husband had prepared the ground turkey.
Training
"A" training day
Lat pull and press 2 x 12 x 40
BB bent row 2 x 10 x 40
Curl & press seated 1 x 10 x 10, 1 x 10 x 12.5
Straight leg crunch 1 x 15 x BW
Side bridge 2 x 30 secs (I must be doing these wrong because I still feel it in my shoulder area more than anywere else)
Today's plan
Reload day - woohoo! I'm already enjoying a bowl of oatmeal with some mini choc chips, pumpkin and wheat bran in it. I'm going to the gym soon for reload training - 4 x 12 - fun times.
I seem to be stuck like a lot of other people are - the scale hasn't moved all week. My NEAT has been pretty low lately so I'm going to try amping that up a bit. That may be a bit hard this weekend, though, because the temps are supposed to feel like -20, plus I brought work home.
Where do you get mini bananas? I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.
Weird, huh? They started carrying them at my local grocery store a few months ago. I think their Chiquita. I think they're great when you're dieting and calories and carbs are limited.
what is a "walking RDL" - I know RDL and I know a walking lunge, but can't quite wrap my head around a walking RDL
It's like a one legged RDL except you take a step forward between each one. I keep my back foot on the ground, though, because my balance sucks and I hate looking like a clutz.
m1: Cottage cheese, almond butter, apple
m2: Roast turkey, raspberry vinaigrette, goat cheese, apple, mixed greens
m3: Extra lean ground turkey, reduced fat cheddar, avocado, spicy black bean dip salsa, green leaf letttuce
m4: two 100 calorie packs of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
**TRAINING**
m5: Salmon, asparagus, blueberries
m6: Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa, stevia, almond butter, wheat germ (I don't know if I'll have the last meal because I'm really full right now)
I got hungrier and hungrier after m3 and didn't want to go into my training like that but all I had handy were the 100 calorie packs. I need to keep something healthier at work just in case.

m1: Egg, egg beaters, chopped spinach, light brie, tomato

m3: Greek yogurt, blueberries, wheat germ, protein powder, mini banana
m4: dark chocolate
m5: Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa, stevia, almond butter
I was really hungry again all day. I stopped at Trader Joe's after work and got some string cheese and planned to have a piece on the way home, but then I bought a dark chocolate bar and that won out. 782 calories! At least I was too full after that to have dinner so I was still under maintenance. I was hoping to have a strong week, though, because my challenge check-in is Sunday.

Bummer about the chocolate--at least you're usually on top of your game, so you know that one slip won't do you in.
Well, I had two slips - the chocolate and the hundred calorie packs of cookies the day before. The scale is also back up to 140 again but I'm hoping it's a combination of the extra carbs and TOM.
Maybe it's the way that my shorts sit but I swear I have more lower back fat than anyone else.
I told my husband that next time he's to get off his butt when taking my pictures - the angle is extremely unflattering.
I was gonna say, I can see the difference in your waist and back from January to now. I think it's more of an angle thing than anything.

So what do you guys mean? You see the difference and that the camera angle is weird or that the apparent difference is because the camera angle is weird?
