That reminds me of this episode of Freakazoid, where the announcer interrupts the program to say, "We interrupt this program to bring you an important announcement. I am actually a deep voiced woman. We now return you to our program."

I've decided that I'm going to start measuring myself every day, to make sure I still get a good work out, and loose good inches!
Goooooooo me!

We haven't been doing to well my friend, have we? ;A;

I'm going to cut down on the bad food in my life as much as I can since I've been slacking. And I'm going to make sure I exercise every night to Techno. Keeps me in check. <3

I need to step up my game on exercising. I've been running for about a half hour now 4 - 5 times a week, and my average is 2.50 - 3 miles, but I'm starting to slow down on weight loss. My eating habits haven't changed from organic and small 6 meal snacks throughout the day, but I'm not losing as much weight as I'd like. I'm not really focusing on weight so much as inches, but I set a goal for losing about 30 pounds on top of inches, I just have to push myself. )<

@ reppy - I've been lifting weights after I run; light weights of course. I also have the shake weight which supposedly is suppose to tone arms and shoulders. Would you suggest more sets? I'm doing about 3 sets of 10 - 15 depending on what kind of weight training I'm doing.

@ Konan - I could pick up on walking on my days off; tomorrow we're hiking in Forest Park for about 2 hours.

I might try riding my bike around the SW area of Portland, as well. Although, I'm not sure how successful I'll be at that. owo

Shake weight?  And why light weights?  Are you afraid of putting on a ton of muscle?  Have you tried doing squats or lunges? In my experience they burn a ton of calories and you can do them with or without weights.  If you do weights, I recommend trying them out first with a 5lb dumbbell in each arm since you'll probably be surprised at how sore it makes you. ^_^;

If you're doing 10-15 reps, you might want to raise the weight a little bit.  Maybe find a weight where once you get to 10 reps you feel like you have 2-3 more reps in you.. but don't try to lift past 10!  In fact, at any point if you feel like you're "grinding" the weight to get it up, you should stop that rep and start a new once you've done your rest period. ^_^;

Jumping rope is a great way to burn calories, too. :O

Shake weight is something I got at Target. It definitely gives your arms a workout. And no, I've never been afraid of gaining muscle; I already have a lot of it in my arms. I use lighter weights when I do faster reps, whereas 50 - 70 lbs weights, I use for my legs when I do slower reps. 40 lbs is light feeling to me. owo;;

As for squats, I've practiced wall sits for about 3 sets of 30 seconds, but I haven't been doing them since I've been running so much.

I also wasn't aware that jump rope had that kind of power! XD

Jump rope will kick your butt, seriously.  I don't think I can do it for more than a minute. xD

I need to start weighing myself everyday again. I lost the most when I did that. At 9am, right after my shower everyday. Always in the buff and always before I ate any solid foods. (my first meal of the day is always instant breakfast with milk and water, aka not a solid food. but then I get yummy wheat waffles and juice after my shower.)

I also got a image of the Meiko cosplay I want to get on my bathroom door and on the frig. It helps to motivate me. ^^

I had a really good workout today. I did an hour on the treadmill, not all running though. I did 4 and a half miles. I jogged for about 30 minutes then walked up hill the rest. I may do some squats later on but right now I need to do some homework :P

Yep, jumping rope is an excellent way of burning calories.  And all it takes is a bit of rope.  But it's also (for me, at least) a tough thing to do for any length of time.  I suppose, for the space-deprived, jumping back and forth over a low rope would be as effective. 

What on earth is a shake weight?  So it's not excess weight from milkshakes?

So I was thinking of dieting tips the other day and I came up with a list.. I might add more to this later, but these are pretty easy steps anyone can take to cut back on calories.

- Metamucil.  Yep.  Drink it.  2-3 times a day, preferably before a meal.  Get a big scoop, a big glass, drink it all.. wait a few minutes.  You'll probably feel pretty stuffed, and that's good.  After that, then eat your meal.  (If Metamucil makes you feel bloated in a bad way, then find some sort of fiber drink that doesn't.  It works for me and it's all I've ever used.)
- Eat all of your veggies first.  Drink your entire glass of water.  Wait a few minutes.  Then eat the rest of your meal.
- If you're still hungry immediately after eating, try waiting a few minutes before going back for seconds.  Sometimes it can take up to 20 minutes for your brain to catch up with your stomach.
- If you feel hungry and it's not time for a meal, try drinking a big glass of water.  Wait 10-20 minutes.  Still hungry?  Grab a light, healthy snack.
- Eat slowly. ^_^; Take time to savor the texture and taste of every bite you eat.  Not only will you enjoy the food you eat more, you'll give your brain time to get the signal, "Hey, I'm full and I don't need to eat more food."
- Make breakfast the biggest meal of your day.  If you're not eating breakfast, you need to.  Think of it as the meal that's going to jump-start your metabolism.
- Eat eggs for breakfast.  I recently heard about a study that said people who have egg protein for breakfast eat less calories!
- Do not drink pop, juice, milk.  Don't do it!  Don't drink your calories!  Unless it's a protein shake. ^_^
- Breakfast/lunch should be your most carb heavy meals of your day.  Don't eat carbs in the evening!
- Take a daily vitamin and a fish oil supplement.
- Avoid fast food like the plague! XD But sometimes that's not an option, so make smart decisions.  And watch portion size!

All of these are extremely easy steps that anyone can take.

So an example breakfast might be something like..

1 cup of cooked instant oatmeal, unflavored (212 calories)
1/4 cup 1% milk (25 calories)  (note: I actually use less milk than that.. I just splash it with enough milk so that it's not dry and hot anymore.)
1 egg (70 calories)
4 large strawberries (25 calories)
~330 calorie total

Whenever possible, use a cooking spray like Pam or something that isn't going to add a ton of calories to whatever you're cooking. ^_^;

Lunch
Half can of tuna (85 calories)
2 slices Ezekiel Sprouted Grain bread* (160 calories)   (if you prefer to cut calories, use 1 slice of bread and eat it open face)
1 tbsp lowfat mayo (40 calories)
1 cup baby spinach with optional cracked pepper (10 calories)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil* used as dressing (120 calories)
~415 calories, ~365 if you use 1 slice of bread, even less if you can stomach eating baby spinach without any olive oil ^_^

* I like this bread because 1) it doesn't have any flour in it 2) It's low glycemic.  Also, the olive oil adds some extra calories, but olive oil is very good for you so we look the other way, k? ^_^

That's good advice! I definitly am going to steal a couple of those tips. XD

But for people in school (who can't get off campus) are usually stuck with two opitions are as lunch goes; deep-fat-fried food or a salad with no protein. And while, preparing food is an idea, it doesn't work in all stituations.

So, for those people who go to school, like me, I suggest grabbing a protein bar on the way out the door every morning. I get bars called "Pure Protein" and while they don't taste good (at all really) they fill me up and make a nice replacement for all the nutrients that I miss through the..."eh" salads they serve at school.

Test, Talk to a nutrition. Advice is always nice but what works for one person may not work for you. That is what I say always. For one thing, I can not eat eggs, I get sick. Sometimes I am okay with them if they are in something like cake.. (although I have not had a cake since... the kumoricon meeting I went to.) 2, I can not have beef that often, less of it I have the happier my tummy is. It takes beef 3 days to digest, where fish and chicken only take a day. So my body likes those kinds of meats better. Where, someone else's body may not be able to brake down protein the same way a normal body can, so they need to have less of it. And others might brake it down faster then normal. Every body is different, so many different ways. So Test, any tips people give. Doctors also can be helpful, and nutritionists.  Test things out to see what works best for you.

Like, the juice thing. I have to have my juice. I love OJ, and need it, but hate oranges. So 6 oz of OJ mixed with 8 oz of water is what is best for me. It is also a way to help me get the water I need. I have 4 Instant breakfasts in a day, but not full ones. I mix 16 OZ of skim milk with 2 packs of IB, then I cut it into 4 bottles. Then add about 8 oz water to each bottle. I have one at 7am, one at 10/11 am, one at 2/3 pm, and one for the last thing I eat in the day at 6/7pm. So that is 4 cups of water right there. It helps me keep full, and gives me vitamins so I only need one vitamin pill a day instead of two.

Normal breakfast at 8/9 am is wheat waffle (no syrup, yukky stuff to me and bad pure sugar stuff.) and my OJ water. At 12/1 pm I have my lunch which is normally 1 oz cucumbers, a serving of almonds, a mini wheat bagel (only 100 calls, I love the things.) sometimes plan and sometimes I add fat free cream cheese or sometimes I toast them and add smart butter (the kind with no trans. forgot the name of it... Active or something.) and then either pears, peaches, or half a banana. Then for dinner it changes. But either chicken and rice, or chicken and a potato, or Salmon and rice, or 2 servings of Oatmeal and juice (normally prunegrape 6oz mixed with 8oz water. Or crangrape, or cranapple.) The oatmeal is 4 days right now, but once I get more workouts in I will change it to only 2 times a week. I normally drink around 80 oz a water a day total. 8 to 10 cups. At the end of the day I feel full, only time I ever cheat is from wanting the taste of cheese or chocolate, never because I am hungry for it. Just depression. But my depression is a lot less since I started my diet plan. Once I lose my weight it will change a little, but not much. Will still have the instant breakfast thing. Right now I have 1400 to 1500 cals about that a day. Which is good for how little I work out. If I work out more I will add more to my diet.


this works for me, is working. It might work for you are it might not. If anyone wants an exacted measurements of the foods I can send you the chart with the cals added and proper serving sizes. It took me a long time to find out that the beef I ate was what was making me sick. Lack of beef might make others sick though so make sure if you try what I am doing to keep track of how you feel. Almonds are one thing to be carful with, some people can not handle that much nuts. So try a different protein at lunch if you feel it is making you sick.

Also, I sometimes have Benefiber. maybe 2 to 4 times a week. the orange chewables is what I like, to me they are yummy.

I second the advice to test any advice and talk to a doctor or nutritionist when available.  Some people need more of certain foods than others.  Like olive oil- some people need it to help break down bad cholesterol; others don't need it so much.  And one fat is not necessarily the equal of another.  (It doesn't help when nutritionists disagree with each other though.)

I can't eat a big breakfast.  I just can't.  First, most breakfast foods give me heartburn, second it makes me sleepy, and that's not what I need during the day.  And yes, people have tried to cram bran muffins and orange juice down my throat in the morning to make me healthier; I didn't feel it.  A hard-boiled egg or slice of toast does it for me.  And I can sympathize about the beef thing- if I eat it regularly, I'm alright, but if I haven't had it for a while it doesn't sit well. 

Also, be careful with the multivitamins.  It's possible to overdose, because so many other foods are fortified.  If you eat a lot of organic, unenriched foods, you're probably okay with vitamins. 

One more tip- read all the labels of your food.  ALL of them.  You'll be in for a few surprises, some pleasant and some not.  It's interesting seeing which products are healthy even without advertising, and which aren't. 

And try to get as many foods as close to their original form as possible- every step of processing pulls nutrients out of them.

maybe I should be more spacific. I don't need to loose any more weight, i just need to tone my problem areas a little and be a little more active on my days off (usually I just sleep all day and play videogames all night)

I've been way active-er lately but I feel fatter. Maybe I should start trying to eat healthier too...

But I love grilled cheeses! :,O

Make sure that it's whole wheat bread, and that there isn't an overload of cheese on it, and you should be fine.
PLUS: you are a beautiful skinny person. I have seen your Yoko, if you call yourself fat, then I am the size of an elephant ;A;
