But it's a good enough substitute.
My exercise routine was interrupted by a page and spending an hour in the
locker room on the phone trying to conduct a conference to solve problem.
Luckily the call ended before my phone died, or I would have had t o return
home. I was able to resume workout after the hour, but it did mean that I got
home at 10:00 pm. today also showed me about how fanatical I've become about
my work-ou, once I've got to the gym,. Getting to the gym is a whole different
story. Also, working out to Bad Boy Bill is highly motivating, pace wise.
Dinner was salmon steak and Orange Juice. Today my carbohydrate intake was
only 43%. Which i'm not complaining about.I guess the fish contributed to the
low carbs and the high protein.

Salmon isn't too expensive. At least I can afford it from the local
Meijer

Isn't tuna the one with the heavy metal problem, not salmon?
I eat a fair amount of econo-canned pink salmon because it's a
quick/cheap/convenient protein.

Anything bigger than sardines is supposed to be eaten in small amounts.

How big are "small amounts"? And how frequently?

I thought it had to do with location as well. Though, from what I vaguely
remember from news broadcasts, there is a problem with ocean fish, as well
as, lake and river fish. And also a bit of an issue with oysters and
shrimpies.

gelinas, I don't remember where I found the information. But my current rule
of thumb is one can of tuna no more than every four days. About 1-2 times
a week.
I was eating a lot of (cheap, easy to store, easy to fix,
good-for-you-cause-its-fish) tuna. I'm sure my frequency decision
maximized my use of tuna.
IIRC, fish larger than sardines all fell in the caution area. This news
penetrated my consciousness about 4-5 months ago, so it is fairly recent.

I love tuna and salmon. and when I eat them, I get to share with my
cat. I know - bad habit, but she's adorable.
One thing I learned yesterday - Do not exercise if you're hungry. I
was struggling yesterday, and the only differenct was I was hungry. I
usually have a snack before the gym, but yesterday I went straight
from work. From next week, I get to go in the mornings, thanks to
change in work schedule.

I work out in the mornings on the weekends, (well actually it's around
noon, depending on the time I wake up, but it's after a cup of tea, no
breakfast) Definitely better than working out in the evenings
My weight is definitely dropping, taking into account all the
randomness that occurs. I seem to have left the 158 lbs behind, and
weighed in at 155 lbs this morning. That's about 6 lbs less than when
I first started. I'd think a more realistic weight is 157 lbs, though
the randomness doesn't seem so much anymore.
However, measurements still seem to be the same, except for an inch
loss around the waist. Though my waist seems curvier than when I first
started. Wishful thinking maybe

I have been swimming for 2 main reasons, 1. I am taking swimming for a
class, thus a grade, 2. I have a membership to the YMCA and I am able
to go to "free swim" at the school during the evenings. I am up to
about 15 laps of front crawls, 3 laps of breast strokes, and 2 laps of
the back stroke. Do that at least 4 days of the week, and let us see
what happens

Bummer, it is a great way to exercise. You, the sound of the water, and just
concentrating on your breathing.

mynxie, pardon me for asking, please, but how the *hell* did you
manage to blimp out to teh 150+ arena? the pics i have from a couple
yrs ago wouldn't have yo tip the scale past 110 even if you were
wearing ankle weights! well, maybe 95 lbs.
yeh, ok, i used to be as scrawny as you but my excuse is years-of-life.
youu won't have that one for another 25+ yrs.

First, what pics do you have of me frm a cpl of years ago. The oldest ones
on the web are from 2001, I think. And believe me, I was never at 110 lbs let
alone 95 lbs. WIth my bone structure, I would have to be really sick to get
to that stage. I think the lowest I've been is 130 lbs.
How did I get here - try - lots of fried food, and next to no exercise. I may
need to lose weight, but I've definitely not "blimped" out. I may get there
if I continue with my old ways another 6 months. I'm not obese, I just got
on the overweigt list - on the borderline.

Close, Mynxie was 12 lbs at her last check up. Mynxie and mynxcat are pretty
similar in many ways, except that Mynxie definitely does not have to lose
weight. mynxcat has taken great care to see that Mynxie does not get
over-weight.

And once again, I am amazed at the total idiotic behavior of some people.
Sapna, aren't you like 5'7" or something?

About that high, yes.
(I assume when you mean "total idiotic behavior" you mean tsty's
comment about me bein 110 lbs?)
