Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / November 2003Food & Exercise -- 11/13/2003
Food: 8:30 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices melted f/f cheese 11:00 (work, brought from home): apple 12:30 (work, brought from home): leftovers from last night's dinner: 102g chicken breast, 142g mashed potatoes, 1/3 cup cauliflower, 60g gravy 3:30 (work, brought from home): light f/f peach yogurt 7:30 (driving home from gym): energy bar 8:15 (home): 6 3/4 oz. grilled shrimp; 1/2 cup hummus (homemade by Ahmed :-) ) 11:00 (home): 1 cup f/f cottage cheese w/ 3 tbsp reduced sugar orange marmalade Totals: 1576 calories, 32g fat (18%), 167g carbs (43%), 155g protein (39%) 5:30 p.m. -- Exercise (OL assistance stuff): Shoulder warmups Clean high pulls from the hang: 2x5x20kg/44lbs; 4x5x30/66 (light weight -- working on fine points of wrist and elbow position) Muscle cleans from the hang: 3x3x25/55; 3x3x30/66; 2x2x32.5/71.5 Weird exercise in Smith machine: position legs in lunge position, squat down with bar on shoulders, then -- while rising -- lift back leg, moving it forward and kicking knee up sharply in front, then squat down while moving leg back into position -- Did 10 on each leg with 10 lbs. on each side of Smith machine, then a set with 15 lbs., then a set with 20 lbs. (Basically, a total of 60 squats with forward kick.) Other tiring exercise: Standing in front of cable machine (the sort with one cable for each hand -- cables mounted near floor): Squat down, then while rising pull back in a row with right hand, squat again, row with left hand while rising, squat again, row with both hands while rising. This constitutes one rep. Did two sets of 8 reps at 35 lbs. Not a lot of weight or anything, but surprisingly aerobic. And another 48 squats :-). Seated Rows (separate cables for each arm) with elbows raised perpendicular to body -- shoulder strengthening: 2x10x50 Wide lat pulldowns (cables for each arm, mounted way out to the sides): 2x10x60 -- also for shoulders Various shoulder exercises with elastic band -- 3 different exercises, 2 sets of 15 each. Not appreciable weight, but they hurt my shoulder some. Crunches with Ahmed standing on my toes while I reach for his outstretched hands: 1x10 regular; 1x10 holding 12 lb. bar straight-armed overhead and touching his hands with that Skipped cardio -- was kind of tired after Ahmed's session despite not doing anything heavy, and wanted to get home Chris 262/175/??? > Food: > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > 8:15 (home): 6 3/4 oz. grilled shrimp; 1/2 cup hummus (homemade by > Ahmed :-) ) How much oil do you think is in that hummus?

When he set it at 35 for Stuart I thought OK I know I did that Tuesday....even though it nearly killed me. But after STuart's set, he moved it to 45 for me. The weight wasn't the issue....it was the whole thing. Talk about breathing hard! But, I told Stuart, who was complaining about how tough it was on the way home, I know if it is hard for me to do....I need to do it! I think it is great for my flexibility. > Seated Rows (separate cables for each arm) with elbows raised > perpendicular to body -- shoulder strengthening: 2x10x50 [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Chris > 262/175/??? > How much oil do you think is in that hummus?

I have some nutritional data on hummus in my database -- probably from Calorie King site -- so I just use that. I don't remember the particulars (I'm at work now), but 1/2 cup is just over 200 calories. Yummy stuff, isn't it! All that nice garlic :-). Much tastier than any I've bought commercially. > > Other tiring exercise: Standing in front of cable machine (the sort > > with one cable for each hand -- cables mounted near floor): Squat [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > was complaining about how tough it was on the way home, I know if it is hard > for me to do....I need to do it! I think it is great for my flexibility. This exercise always surprises me. It seems really easy at first but you get tired fast. I don't have much of a flexibility issue with this, but it's good for working my bad shoulder -- and I think good for core stability. Chris > Food: > > 8:30 (home): 2 poached eggs on 1 slice whole wheat toast w/ 3 slices > melted f/f cheese Does ff cheese melt? I tried ff cheese a couple years ago and it was gross. What kind do you get? Do you like it pretty well? det > > Food: > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > det I've been using Kraft ff slices thanks to Chris and they melt great. A slice of ff swiss on a small low carb tortilla, nuked for 30 sec with some ham is faboo. Jenn >> > Food: >> > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > >Jenn Seconding what Jenn says -- yeah, it melts great. I recall that it didn't at one time, but now it does. I use either Kraft or Bordens. Chris > >> > Food: > >> > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Chris Does it taste like..........cheese? I'll have to get some. >Does it taste like..........cheese? I'll have to get some. I'd say so. I mean, it tastes more like American cheese slices than it does like good cheese, but I like it. I wouldn't serve it on crackers at a cocktail party :-). But it's good in sandwiches and it melts nicely in the microwave. It has a pretty decent nutritional profile -- mostly protein and not a lot of calories -- good source of calcium -- more sodium than would be ideal, though. Chris > >Does it taste like..........cheese? I'll have to get some. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Chris second what Chris says. I used the swiss flavor to make chicken cordon bleu last weekend and DH really liked it. I just like it because it melts quick. For regular slices I prefer soy cheese - it has a better flavor to me, especially the provolone. Jenn > > >Does it taste like..........cheese? I'll have to get some. > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Jenn I often use the ff cheddar cheese flavor for sandwiches and like it. I believe it's Kraft I buy. I don't believe I've ever tried to melt it so I can't say how it melts. Beverly > >> > Food: > >> > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Chris Really? I think it tastes terrible and has a really weird texture when *melted*. But I like really good cheese. I'll taste the extra cals over Kraft any day. Martha > > >> > Food: > > >> > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > > Martha Everyone has their own way of doing things. After 10 months of fasting, even ff cheese, which I could barely stomach in the past, is now a treat. I melted it on some turkey chili last night in the hotel microwave and ate it with a tortilla - a low carb tortilla. It was yummy. BTW, low carb tortillas make good chips too, especially with melted ff cheddar - 110 calories total for nachos :) Jenn > > Food: > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > det No offense to Chris, but fat free cheese doesn;t melt and it tastes horrible to me anyway. Martha >> > Food: >> > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > >Martha Taste is obviously a matter of one's judgement, but "melt" is a pretty well-defined term, and my f/f cheese melts. It takes on a creamy liquid form when heated. Do you think I'm lying or something? Chris > >> > Food: > >> > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Chris No, I'm sorry. It's been a few years since I've tried the stuff. The ff cheese and some of the lowfat cheese I tried never melted in the melty, gooey way cheese usually does. Nice to see it's improved now. Martha |
