My Diet & Exercise Thread

[CoyoteMagic]

Only been up for about an hour. Gonna have a protein shake smoothie and then head to the track for a few laps.

Endo suggested the protein shake. This one comes from the health food store and is all natural with none of the stuff that I am allergic to, YEAH!! I mix it with 4 oz of yogurt, 4oz milk and then maybe some more fruit.

Ok, I'm out of here!

Endo's right. Easy on the tummy too.

Almost lost my willpower today and it's only day 2 of the diet

I was driving right by a mcdonalds with the windows cracked and I could smell the french fries and the wholesome goodness of cooking grease

So when I got home, I had a salad, some soup and a handful of carrots along with my 4th glass of water for the day

THIS is the reason I don't diet anymore. Smaller portions what I like. It's a workin for me!

Yay for Boyd! I would have had to step on the gas big time to get away from the McDonald's temptation.

Easy on the water. You will get SICK of it fast if you start out forcing yourself to drink 6 or 8 glasses a day. Make a goal of 3 or 4 at first, then have more as your appetite for it increases naturally. (I made the mistake of overdosing on water for a few weeks a while ago and haven't really recovered my liking for it yet.)

Good Job! you don't need those nasty waxy tasting fries.

Honestly, after not having any for awhile, I tried one....

And I thought I would never ever hate McDonalds Fries.

I 100% agree! Diets don't work! As I mentioned before together with smallER portions and the right kind of foods, it is working for me too!

I think the idea of cheap quick pre-prepared food is the cause of a lot of the obesity in America. I can't speak for all countries, but that's what I see up here where I'm at. Most of the quick pre-prepared food coming out of fast food joints are horrible nutritionally. I know it's junk, and it's no good for my body..... but

i loves it sometimes.

As for water, I've always drank quite a bit of water or juice through out the day. Pop and cool-aide? Naw, only time I have pop is when I'm mixing a little bit in to sweeten my jack daniels

There is nothing wrong with giving yourself the occasional treat of a burger from McDonalds or wherever.....lol....as long as you don't make it an every week treat...

I know, and I'm probably guilty of grabbing it twice a week, although I do love their ranch snack wraps
