Just calculated that if I ate 30% x 1800 cal / 4 cal per gram = 135 g of protein! How in the world could I ever get that much with only 1800 cal's, without eating meat or dairy or egg whites galore? I know whole grains and legumes, etc. have protein but more like 6-10 g of protein per 200 calorie serving. Do we really need that much protein, or is a rich, developed nation "need" where we "need" so much protein but the rest of the world survives on 10% cal's from protein?

Almeeker, I like your nagging challenge.
I have to sort the kids' toys and chuck away toys that broken and not approriate for their age. It's been nagging me since last October. Every weekend I said to myself that: this is the time and I should do it. But many weekends went by and I haven't done a thing. I get fustrated and annoy at myself.
Cassie, I posted the way to make Pho on the other post. Hope you find it, if you have any questions. I am glad to answer.
Rubypeanut, I hope you feel better.
Here is my report
1. Eat less than 1500 cals 1,355
2. Work out 5-6 times 1
3. Eat at least 2 nights without carb 1
4. Try to lose at least 1 pound this week. to get to my pre holiday weight. not yet
5. Log in food religiously Y
6. Drink 4-16oz glasses of water. Y
Mai

OK I try to be sympathetic when I can but I will trade you So Cal perpetual gardening for northeast below zero ice chopping snow shovelling misery. And I personally do not love gardening.
I gotta move outta here. I mean it. I can barely feel my hands on this keyboard and I am inside the friggin house with the friggin heat on.
PS My nose is cold.

1.) Maintain calories at 1200 - 1500, 1334
2.) Maintain carbs @ 40%, 23%
3.) Maintain protein @ 90g 143 (over board again!)
4.) Yoga 2 times, rest day
5.) Crossfit 2 times,
6.) At least 1 long run
7.) Finish trimming vines and shrubs before the birds start nesting (The great thing about SoCal is that you get the garden year 'round. The lousy thing about SoCal is you have to garden year 'round)
8.) Others to be added later
9.) Find out why I haven't been paid, Found out:weather! can you image! actually since I work for the Feds, weather is having a big impact everywhere, just not here, right now
Sleep tight east coasters!

Hmph. Jealous of that Butterfinger, Mike.
My goals:
1. 250 cal deficit daily (till that last holiday pound disappears) Yes
2. Balance the pie chart Yes
3. 2-3 blue bottles of water daily Yes
4. Sleep at least 7 hours per night No
5. Floss Yes
6. One organizational task in home office daily Yes
7. One room of trim painted sometime this week Not yet-probably weekend
8. Try one new recipe or make over an old one - healthier Not yet
The Australian Open is cutting into my sleep. Probably should've picked another week for that goal .
