The 'I Feel Like Being Healthier' Thread!
Noff:
My plan right now is to gain weight (hopefully mostly muscle) in the winter, then slim down a bit before summer. I like the weightlifting/getting stronger but hate the fact that I actually tend to look worse in the short term from also gaining fat. It's a hell of a lot better than lifting and potentially having a calorie deficit though, because that just makes you feel terrible.
Diet wise I just try to eat protein throughout the day, and also eat my fruits and vegetables.

Lean Pockets and Hot Pockets are all sorts of horrible. Processed cheese and meat. Way to much sodium.
I still am in love with no yolk eggs with Franks red hot. Little carbs, no fats. My sister cooks her eggs and gives the yolk to her German Shepard. I just buy the little cartons of no-yolks.
Today I went to see the doctor and found out I lost 6 pounds in a month. Which was actually wasn't that great since I have been really hitting the gym lately and eating right. But then he took biomass readings and I found out that I actually dropped a good 2.5 percent body fat which for a guy like me means I lost about 5 pounds of pure fat which is awesome. Blood pressure was 125 over 77. Kick ass.
I went swimming on Monday, did running and elliptical yesterday and today I will do some running and light weights.
pen:
Losing 6 pounds in a month is pretty much ideal, actually. If you lose more than 1-2 per week, you're less likely to keep it off.
I've been really unhealthy for a while now. I've gone through spurts at the gym which I really do enjoy, but once I give myself a "day off," it all goes to shit. I get incredibly lazy and think how wonderful that extra hour of sleep was in the morning, and it's super hard for me to get the motivation to go back even though my pants are getting tighter.
Today I've eaten Raisin Bran with skim milk and Spaghettios for lunch.... and a couple packets of Smarties. It doesn't help that my new work building has a coca cola machine about 20 feet from my desk. Soda is my worst battle...
Alex C:
I'm pretty damn chunky right now. I'm going to fix it, but it really just reinforces the fact that my real bugbears are a kind of a pervasive apathy and convenience foods. Too often in the past I've just eaten whatever was most readily available. It is a real shame because I'm blessed with a disposition and tastebuds that'll accept vegetables, lean protein and oatmeal as readily as a heart attack inducing fastfood cheeseburger. Gaining OR losing weight has never been a problem for me, I just too often let it slide in favor of other interests. And really, that's the only part of it that makes me feel bad; maintaining a healthy weight is at worst only a mild inconvenience for me while I've known plenty of other people in my life who put in twice the effort for half the results.
Anyway, as you might guess, my only real battle will be simple consistency. It's all a matter of replacements and playing the eat-this-not-that game at restaurants in order to avoid the big ticket items when I do get convenience foods. I mean, McDonald's is never really the greatest choice in the world, but a grilled chicken wrap, fruit & walnut salad and a bottled water still beats the shit out of a quarter pounder with cheese, fries and a coke. Weight loss battles are often won or lost by two or three hundred calories a day, after all.
