I really underguessed on my calories today.Spinach and Strawberries
My wife made more smoothie than she could eat. I dumped some protein powder in and half a banana and polished off the whipped 24oz cup of fruit. There was a lot of air in the mix apparently because the ingredients only totaled about 300 or so.
My wife bought this huge container of strawberries -- probably 6 quarts in size. I packed two small containers for my snacks today which weighed in at about 100g each. I t...

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this...Tools for Saying on Track
In my last blog, I talked about the parts of my regimen that slipped on day 79, but didn't get around to discussing why some things stuck while others didn't. I'm going to ramble on for a bit to try and get at some of the underlying reasons behind my actions... If I'm lucky, I'll have some raw material that I can refine into a set of tools for rescuing failed convictions.

10oz baked potato + skin
4 oz of cooked chicken breast
1 cup of Imagine organic soup (tomato basil)
2 servings of broccoli and cauliflower.
(550 calories)
It's a huge meal - I eat it from a 1 liter container (4.7 cups) and it is almost full. Brien's Soup is a bit bland to eat without salt, but eat it ...
Rowing on an Empty Stomach
Wednesday, March 19th 2008
I finally... FINALLY got back to the gym. WOOT! At 6:30am, I parked myself on a rowing machine for about half an hour listening to the Body Sculpting Bible.Concept2 vs Waterrower
I LOVE rowing... especially on those air-resistance Concept2 rowing machines. This was the type of rowing machine I used in college. When I first decided to get back into shape, I bought this beautiful wooden water rower a few years ago. It looked and sounded fantastic, but the narrow grip caused me to bend m...
