    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    After 2 weeks..... down 3 pounds, 2 inches off my boobs (boo), 1/2 inch off each thigh, 1.5 off hips and 1 off waist.

    I'll take it!

    Big breakfast today, I was starving! That means an afternoon Plyo instead of morning....

    Today is a cooking day. Making meatballs, a roast beef and baking some chicken breasts. Making my salad base of green and red cabbage, carrots and cauliflower. This has been my weakness so far. the food part is HARD! The planning and the calculating is still going on.

    Also tried the Green Shakeology. I don't know what people are complaining about with the taste. I mixed it with 1/2 cup of OJ and 1/2 cup of water. Added some ice and whipped it up. Tasted pretty good to me but I was expecting the worst. It did separate and I had to put it in the blender again but otherwise I liked it.
    DId not feel a huge surge of energy or anything. I drank it at about 7:30 am, had a string cheese at 10 and was not really hungry or thinking about food until 2 or so.

    Nice work! Keep it up!
    As far as the food goes...just try to stick to a 90:10 (good:bad) ratio. I basically did the before the program, but if you want to spurge for a meal on the weekend...go for it. Don't get too crazy, but you gotta be able to have those things you love. Just be sure to bust some ass the next couple of days.

    Why "boo" to the 2" off the boobs? :lol: While you probably don't want smaller boobs...Smaller boobs is better than flabby boobs...just sayin. :lol:

    hey, my stomach is flabby not my boobs. I will say for my age they're pretty good!

    You and OP are done but what happened to the others? Have I been left alone????

    I was going strong on a second consecutive round, but Im taking a week off this week. I am in the middle of 1/2 marathon training and I have a 3 day hockey tournament this weekend.

    So I think I am going to start over again next Monday.

    The food is hard to get right....it's a real pain in the ass. I have about 12 meals that I just switch around. It's easier that way.

    I'm trying to get it right, but every meal plan I come up with protein and vegetables are not even close!

    Just finished my first attempt at Yoga X in a few years. That is not easy. I definitely didn't expect to sweat as much as I did. Took 1 and half bottles of water.
    I did it on an empty stomach. I experienced no hunger during the routine but I am hungry now.
    The abdominal poses at the end were difficult even though I have worked my stomach over the last 6 months.
    I began to take pauses between poses at about 37 minutes in. Most poses with a straight leg involved were the most difficult to hold.
    I'm planning to do it twice a week but we will see :lol: I wonder how sore i'll be tomorrow. My body is definitely telling me that I have stretched parts of it that have never been stretched!

    Peace Out

    Any ideas for a quick lunch?

    Plain Greek yogurt, with two teaspoons of olive oil, almonds or whatever you like, on half a pita
    *put veggies on it...whatever. Just no meat. The yogurt has enough protein.

    Chicken breast with mustard.

    A Hand full of pasta with a veggie.

    Buy a small sub sandwich and when they cut the bun ask them to take out the access bread on the inside. You know, like when your mom use to do when you were a kid.. :D Make it tuna, chicken or turkey. Only mustard.

    Salad with only Olive oil & vinegar (Red) as dressing.

    Two apples can keep you full for a couple of hours.

    Porridge is always fast. You can add whatever you like to it. Almonds, all types of berries, etc. Add a half a scoop of protein power to some, you'll be set. 5 minute meal.

    Thanks! Those are some great ideas. I had the Greek Yogurt today, but with no flavor I could only eat half of it. I try out the rest pretty soon :)

    Another good one is smoked salmon. I had it today on a slice of organic bread with goat cheese. Quick & easy!

I make an entire bag of the chicken strips, then throw 2.5 oz into my salad each night. Then at lunch Ill nuke the chicken for like 25 seconds.

    I have grown to dislike meat now...as in pork disgusts me the most (except for bacon for some weird reason). I can eat a hamburger and steak alright, but chicken is really starting to turn me off. I've been trying to eat more greek yogurt (I even mix in a scoop of protein powder-50g of protein in one serving!) with berries and cinnamon. I've been eating lots of salmon and tuna lately. Since I've upped my protein, I've put on a few more pounds... :evil:

    Did my Core Syner today-I still hate Dreya rolls. 4 more days!

    Week 3 and I had a Noticeable Improvement in Yoga X. That gave me a motivation boost for sure.

    I got sick of eggs eating Atkins years ago, sometimes i can't even look at em.

    Trying a greek yogurt today myself. Not looking forward to it because a coworker eats one everyday and it has such a strong smell that I can tell when she's eating it all the way on the other side of our office. It was only a buck so I'll give it a go.

    You put on weight at the end of the program? mmm. Man being a woman can seriously suck. Men just drop weight like rocks. Bugger.

    In the first two months I may have lost a total of two lbs total. The third month I lost 6-7. Again, I wasn't trying to lose weight...I just think that once that muscle was created not only was it initially added weight, but then as I began to use it, my metabolism shot up causing the weight loss. Pretty normal for working out, but cool to see it happen to me! :D

    I don't want to hear it Mr. mca! :twisted: :lol:

    Yes Sprunkn...it sucks big time. I'm seriously getting annoyed that as soon as I lose a few pounds, a week later I put it back on.

    I got told today my butt looks smaller... :lol::D

    now if only the belly would do the same
