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?

Hey, where is the new video? I'm not seeing a link.

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

I have to do this too! We have so many toys, it's crazy. And don't even get me started on the totes full of clothes that don't fit any of the kids. I always joke that we are 1, maybe 2 storage totes away from not having a place to sleep.

Ahhh, sorry about your nosey. And naw, wasn't reallly looking for sympathy but I will say that our mild winters are our reward for surviving the brutally hot, smoggy, noisy (don't know why the summer seem so much louder, maybe everyones outside), fire-prone, and dry summers. We get NO rain from April until October. Took some getting used to. But I grew up in northern VA and DH grew up in Boston and neither one of are inclined to move back anytime soon

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!
