"You can have anything you want if you give up the belief you can't have it..."
Robert Anthony
If you don't believe that statement ask Jeff, Nick or Jim who less than a year ago looked like their before pictures on the right (the first 3). If you don't believe them then ask Jody who until last Saturday thought she could never win competing against girls LITERALLY half her age in the most competitive of ALL divisions the figure OPEN division. It's a state of mind, there are no tricks. It is simply matching your intentions with your actions each and everyday until it becomes who you are . . .

Wanted to make a big veggie wrap. Found these soft wraps in store. They are made by La Tortilla Factory. They have evoo. 100 calories, 12 g dietary fiber, 3.5 g fat, sugars 1g, and carbs 18g. no saturated or trans fat either. Are these allowed on the program for a carb serving?

Staci - don't want you to be starving... Matt told me you are down quite a bit alrady so e-mail me and we'll boost your calories. You are super active so we need to adjust. fitforlifemarlboro@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteBarb - YES! Those wraps are fine... count 3.5 as a container of carbs.
ReplyDeleteJen - eating the grapes isn't a big deal... if you are feeling hungry on a regualr basis then shoot me an e-mail... I don't want anyone feeling like they don't have enough food. As far as motivation for workouts, wear an ipod with whatever kick-ass motivational music that does it for you and tune the rest of the world out.
ReplyDeleteKara - carrots, chick peas and pickles are all ok... you don't want to eat an enormous amount of any of those in particular, but fine in moderation even on a daily basis. Looks like you are doing great!
ReplyDeleteMurph - I'd rather you eat, even if you do get home that late.... especially if what you need to eat is protein.
ReplyDeleteEveryone else excellent and THANK YOU for all your kind words... I need each of you to focus on getting your before and after pictures in our next video and up on this blog... it WILL happen if you just stay the course. Many of you have already lost a significatn amount of weight and that's great but more importantly you are all building better habits that will last a VERY long time and that is priceless. The more you stay with it the easier it gets.
ReplyDeletebetter late than never.

Had my annual eye exam today, Friday, 4/30/2010 with Dr. Nick Despotidis. I inspected the fridge and everything is in order as it should be. You can laugh now if you like, Nick thought you should all know. I got somne dirt about the cheat meal after the competition, Yes straight to Hell it was for those involved. And I'm sure it was fun, no guilt involved, as there never should be any guilt!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very late post on Thursday's food, but I just had to get it on to the blog.
I missed my intake of a few items, very busy day. Wrote everything down on pad and then left it @ work in my locker. I'm on my days off now and am not going back for the list, but will post as best I can from memory.
About the being regular thing, more salads has helped already. Feeling better and getting in some TaeKwonDo workouts as well. I had forgotten just how much I can sweat in as little as 45 minutes.
Breakfast;
Protein shake
- 4 scoops (72g)
- 1 cont carrots (c)
- 1 cont broccoli
1 slice ez bread (1/3 c)
- 1 serv almond butter (f)
Snack;
- 2 Bananas (2 fruits)
Lunch;
Large Salad
- 1 cont salmon (p)
- spinach, lettuce, cucmber, mushrooms, kalamata olives
- balsamic vinegar
- 1 serv evoo (f)
Snack;
another large salad minus the salmon
- 1 serv evoo (f)
Dinner;
1 cont wild rice & beans (c)
Well that's it for now. I've gotta get started on eating today's intake in between everything else I need to get done.
My bride has been following along as well, but has been ill this week. I think it's time for me to help take care of her more than anything else. I've gotta get cooking too, for the both of us.
Caio!!
