Chris Braun - 24 Feb 2005 01:52 GMT Food:
* 7:45 (home): 30g Flax Plus Granola, 30g All Bran, 22g whey protein, 1 cup skim milk * 11:15 (work, brought from home): 1 carton f/f peach yogurt * 1:30 (work, brought form home): salad w/ 2 cups mixed greens, 2 hard-boiled eggs, 73g grilled chicken, 1/3 cup pineapple, a few chunks each of broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, tomato, and baby corn, and 2 tbsp f/f red wine vinaigrette dressing * 4:30 (work, from friend's desktop jar): 3.5 Lifesaver hard candies (forgot to bring an energy bar for an afternoon snack and I was starving :-) -- this was a whole 32 calories) * 6:30 (home): 1 oz. mixed nuts * 7:45 (home): 150g broiled red snapper; 110g baked sweet potato; 150g Brussels sprouts; 2 Valentine chocolates
Totals: 1464 calories, 40g fat (25%), 179g carbs (49%), 116g protein (32%)
12:00 -- Exercise: 3 mile run/walk -- alternating running for 3 songs on MP3, walking for 1 {This worked out to probably running 90% of the distance -- the most outdoor running I've done so far. I'm sure I could do the whole thing without stopping if I wanted to, as I can run much farther on a treadmill, but the outdoor running thing is very new and I'm just enjoying myself working into it and not stressing about having to do anything particular. And it's more challenging than the treadmill because the route is rather hilly and has some cross-country patches -- grassy, rocky, etc. I probably won't get that many opportunities to do this, as it depends on Ted not being there to walk with me, me having time, and the weather being okay. And I won't do it once it gets too warm out.)
This was a gym day off. Tomorrow may turn into one too, as it's supposed to snow a bunch and I'm planning to work from home.

Matthew Venhaus - 24 Feb 2005 14:28 GMT > Say.. no fruit today! Oops! Hmm..Is avocado a veggie or a fruit? :) Interesting question. I've always considered it a vegetable, but it does grow on a tree and has a bunch more calories than your typical vegetable.
> Exercise: no exercise until this respiratory thing is cleared up. :( It's too bad you aren't feeling well. Have you had allergy trouble in the past? Or are you sure this is the typical cold?
Get well soon. And congrats on continued weight loss. -- Matthew 185/177/160

There's something going around here that's really hitting respiratory systems hard; I've got it too. I also have moderate COPD (and stopped smoking 7 months ago), so it hits me kind of hard. I've actually been fighting it off for 3 weeks now, but this last week got worse. I think it's starting to break up though, as today felt better. I'm looking forward to working out again as I know, given the time off, performance will be improved.

But I don't miss it at all now :-) Seems so much nicer with apple and cinnamon.

I like butter in it lots. I too grew up on oatmeal w/ butter and brown sugar. I only use butter from time to time now, and try to go with honey, cinnamon, raisins, and a splash of soy milk.
I was, however, thinking the other day that I should try other breafast/cereal grains. Not sure what else to try! I loved Malt-o-Meal as a kid, but I would need to read the label to know if it's a healthy food or not.
What do you put in your oatmeal?

I loved > Malt-o-Meal as a kid, but I would need to read the label to know if > it's a healthy food or not. I like Wheatena - tastes nutty, very nice with cranberries or blueberries and a little orange zest. It's nothing like Cream of Wheat.
We also have something here in Maine called Maltex. My 70+ yo neighbor has had it for breakfast every day of his life except for the time he was in the Army. It's getting harder to find.

I guess the only thing I haven't mixed with oatmeal is vegetables. Maybe I'll try leftover sweet potatoes tommorrow. It's is a good base for a lot of different flavors. And sometimes I just eat it plain. -- Matthew 185/177/160

A little pumpkin pie spice is good with that.
