I went to...


Sunday's Weigh-In: 247.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 175.0
Pounds to Lose: 72.0

I went to Rack Room Shoes today, you know the place where you buy one pair and get the second pair half off. How awesome is that? Anyway, I originally was going to get the Nike Free shoes, but when I tried them on I felt they were more for running and I have gotten there yet. So, I search further and came along these beautiful pair of shoes, Nike dual Fusion Lite, I just had to have them.

Nike Dual Fusion Lite (Navy/Orange)
Nike Dual Fusion Lite (Grey/Lime)













also went to Target and got two pairs of jogging pant, navy and gray. I picked up two shirts as well, neon orange and neon green. I tried on the shirts when I got home, they're are not long enough so I'm gonna have to return them. While I'm out I guess I'll donate my Nike Revolution Gen 1 (grey/blue) to Goodwill.

Yesterday, While at Walmart I wanted to try a different fish for Sunday, not that I'm tired of salmon. I could never be tired of salmon, that's my fish. I asked my friend what fish I should try, he suggested flounder. Well, I couldn't wait until Sunday so I tried flounder for the first time today for dinner, it was delicious. Even with just simple seasoning like olive oil spray, salt, and pepper, it was so tasty. I'm definitely going to add it to my meal plan. The next fish I plan to try is halibut. 

If you have any fish recommendations, feel free to share them in the comments section.

After about 250 miles of service...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 247.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 175.0
Pounds to Lose: 72.0

After about 250 miles of service, it's time to bid adieu to my Nike Revolution Gen 1 (black/red), they have served me well through the rain, duck poo, and other obstacles along my walking route.



I still have the other pair of Nike Revolutions Gen 1 (blue/gray) but I can't walk long periods in them for some odd reason the shoes rub against my heel. Remember that horrible blister I had last month from walking 5 miles in them. I'll probably donate them to Goodwill. So that being said, it's time to buy some new walking/running shoes. I like loud colors and unique styles. I searched Zappos and narrowed it down the five shoes below; they range from $70 to $100. I never been a real PUMA fan before but I notice 3 of the 5 are PUMAs. I started a poll (on the right) for you to help me choose. Which shoe do you like?

Nike Free 5.0+ (Gym Red)
PUMA Bioweb Elite Glow (Hawaiian Ocean)











PUMA Cell Gen NM (Fluro Orange)
addias Running adipure CrazyQuick (Vivid Yellow)
PUMA Mell Es Suga (Jasmine Green)











Tomorrow's pay day so you know what that means...grocery shopping time. I'm going to try and mix it up a little, all last month I only had two meats, pork loins and salmon. I'm going to throw chicken and extra lean ground beef in the mix. I would like to find another fish but nothing seems to compare to salmon. If you know of one let me know.

You won't believe the math that goes into figuring out how much I need to buy a month.

MONTHLY GROCERY LIST
6 - 2lb package of salmon
1 - 2.25lb package of ground beef (extra lean)
1 - 5lb package of chicken
1 - 2.75lb package of pork loins (thin cut)
12 - 2lb package of frozen sweet peas
3 - 4lb package of frozen broccoli
5 - 2lb pack of black rice
2 - container of oats (old fashion)
2 - jar of honey peanut butter
1 - container of california raisins

BIWEEKLY GROCERY LIST
1 - loaf of honey wheat bread
1 - one gallon of 1% lowfat milk
2 - 2lb package of baby carrots
4 - bags of granny smith apples
2 - bunches of bananas

I spend about $300 on food a month. Why does it cost so much to eat healthy?

Repeat after me...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 247.0 lbs
Goal Weight: 175.0
Pounds to Lose: 72.0

Repeat after me, "No meat will touch my lips today."

"Easier said than done, " he whispers under his breath.

Ok, that's step one. Next step is to figure out what the hell to eat. For lunch, I had two portobello mushroom burgers with iceberg lettuce, mayo, and ketchup. I also had chips and salsa on the side. The burger was ok; I seasoned it with olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. The chips, Tostitos Artisan Recipes Grilled Red Pepper and Tomato Salsa, were delicious. I had plan on portobello steaks for dinner, but I opted to try the burger again. But this time I over seasoned the mushrooms. I didn't ever start on the second burger. It's in the trash. So my first Meatless Monday is a EPIC FAILURE! Next Meatless Monday, I'll just get some baked beans or some stew/soup. I can't wait for my 7pm snack so I can get the taste of mushrooms out my mouth. :-/

So I was browsing through posts on myfitnesspal and I stumbled upon a post by a user asking for grocery list suggestions.

A young woman responded:
"I just recently learned about powdered peanut butter. It tastes just like normal peanut butter but instead of being almost 200 cal. in 2 tablespoons, it's only 45 cal. I like to keep a jar of it in the house to eat with apples or celery. I'm a snacky person so I have to make sure to have healthy low cal snacks in the house. :)"
I was so thrilled to hear this I had to email the young woman:

"Thanks for posting about the powdered peanut butter. I never heard about it before. I love peanut butter and now, thanks to you, I can have it with less calories and fat. Awesome! :-)"
She replied:
"No problem I was super happy when I found out about it :) it's all natural and is only 1 gram less protein then other peanut butter. You can add it to shakes for peanut butter flavor protein shakes. I've tried the PB2 brand so I don't know if they all taste just as good. It reminds me of Reese's peanut butter."
So my quest begun. I found it on Amazon PB2 powdered peanut butter of less than $5. It has a score of 4.5 out of 5 star (736 customer reviews). Ok, I'm sold.

The label says "Superior quality peanuts are first slow roasted then pressed to remove 85% of the fat and oil. The result is an exquisitely natural roasted peanut butter flavor that's deliciously rich in taste, easy to enjoy and wonderfully healthy." The direction are easy, mix 2 tbsp of PB2 with 1 tbsp of water and stir until smooth.





And for you chocoholics, they have PB2 powdered peanut butter with premium chocolate.

Click Bell Plantation, for more information, recipes, and other products.

I'm going to order some this weekend. I'll give my review on it then.

Well, I snuck onto the scale...


Sunday's Weigh-In: 249.4 lbs
 Goal Weight: 175.0 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 74.4 lbs
Well, I snuck onto the scale again today...248.6. Less than a pound in a week. I'm really unhappy about that. Perhaps I've hit my plateau after 30+ pounds. So I'm going to try something different. I mention this before, about reading a few posts on the myfitnesspal forum about people eating their exercise calories to achieve their net calories. Well, I've made a few friends on mfp and from looking at their food diaries, they're losing weight. So, I'm going to give it a try. My net calories is 1650. I've been around 1050 this week. So if I loose more weight this next week then my conclusion is that my body was in starvation mode despite eating 2300 calories a day (burning 1250 calories through exercise).

So I need to add about 600 calories. This morning I added another bowl of oats and raisin, bringing my breakfast to 1020 calories. I should finish around 1420 if I don't over do it at Outback. Starting tomorrow, I'll double my meat at lunch and dinner and add a honey peanut butter sandwich to my breakfast. I'll do this for a week and see what happens. I'll still walk 7 miles a day, however, at the end of the month I may reevaluate all that walking. If I cut back to 5 miles I'll still be considered active.

Black rice (or forbidden rice) sure adds a unique look to any dinner plate. Its taste is kind of nutty but not overpowering. Its definitely not as tasty as white, however, it doesn't taste as bland as brown. I'll probably will use it occasionally with my meals since it is rather expensive compared to white. I like that it fits in the 10:1 ratio (1 g of fiber to every 10 g of carbs). There's 7g of fiber and 41g of carbs in 1 cup (cooked), that's more than white or brown rice combined. I also like that black rice is a great source of antioxidants, hence, the reason why it's black. That being said, I would suggest everyone give it a try, just make sure you raise it before cooking. 

I'm going to Outback Steakhouse for dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday. When I go to to Outback, I normally order Alice Springs Chicken & Aussie Fries; that's 1119 calories (57g carbs/65g fat/79g protein) in addition to eating half the Bread And Butter, 158 calories (25g carbs/5g fat/5g protein). I would like to try something different like the Simply Grilled Mahi & Fresh Seasonal Mixed Veggies, it has 479 calories (38g carbs/12g fat/53 protein). I've never had fresh Mahi. However, I could go with what I know and chose a small steak like the Outback Special 6 oz & Grilled Asparagus & Fresh Seasonal Mixed Veggies  for only 413 calories (16g carbs/16g fat/42 protein). I'll most likely go with the latter.

Tomorrow's Weigh-In Sunday...Blah!

UPDATE: I had the New Zealand Rack of Lamb & Grilled Asparagus & Fresh Seasonal Mixed Veggies; 764 calories (17 carbs/43g fat/65 protein). Kinda high on the fat but never had rack of lamb before. It was delicious. Oh of course, I also eat half the bread loaf.

Ok, as promised...


Sunday's Weigh-In: 249.4 lbs
 Goal Weight: 175.0 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 74.4 lbs
Ok, as promised...water intake. So are you drinking enough water? I drink a little over 2 quarts a day. The Mayo Clinic recommends 64oz (1.9 L) glasses of water a day. The Institute of Medicine recommends 125 oz (3.7 L) of water for men and 91oz (2.7 L) for women. 

I found an article that said to drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water per 25g of fiber. Since I average about 50g of fiber I should be drinking 3 to 4 liters. 

I found another article that gave a formula (weight x 2/3 = ounces of water to consume).Example: 249 x 2/3 = 166 oz (roughly 5 liters). If you workout, add 12oz for every 30 minutes of exercise. Example: (105 mins / 30 mins) x 12oz = 42 oz (roughly 1.24 liters). So a grand total of 6.24 liters. Are you freaking kidding me?

Boy, this is so confusing. I think I'll just try to drink 3 liters tops. 

I've been looking at different types of rice, I've mention wanting to try Forbidden rice. Now I've found this company, Lotus Foods. They have a variety of rices I want to try like, Jade Pearl and Madgascar Pink. They also sell samplers and gift sets

I going to hit three Asian stores today and see if I can find some locally. If I can't find it, I guess I'll order a sampler online. 

UPDATE: I found some black rice. I could want until tomorrow to try it so I had some for dinner. It kinda of taste like regular white rice. It definitely tastes better that brown just remember to rinse it.

I decided again to remove...


Sunday's Weigh-In: 249.4 lbs
 Goal Weight: 175.0 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 74.4 lbs
I decided again to remove one cup of rice from my meal plan. I know, I know I'm so wishy-washy about the rice. Since I'm gonna only eat one cup of rice a day I'm switching my lunch and dinner so I'll have my heavy carbs early in the day, plus the rise taste better with salmon.

Speaking of salmon, did you know fish is the best source fo omega-3s, but not all fish are created equal While tilapia and catfish are the leading fish consumed in America but they're not good source of omega-3. Salmon, tuna, trout, and mackerel are great sources for omega-3s. More this under Must-Reads from Reader's Digest. Also check out this article on fats from hellohealthy.

I'm starting to get use to walking 7 miles a day now. The walking itself doesn't bother me it's the getting up early to do it. LOL. I found this chart (i can't remember where I got it):


I always was considered sedentary but now that's i'm walking 7 miles a day, I'm active. So what are kind of person are you? sedentary? somewhat active? active? or very active?

Thanks to iOS7, Walkmeter has a new look. I don't know if I like it or dislike it but it's different.

Change of plans...


Sunday's Weigh-In: 249.4 lbs
 Goal Weight: 175.0 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 74.4 lbs
Change of plans, I know I said I would take about water intake today but I'm going to do that Friday. I want to share something I discover yesterday. I ran across this application on the USDA Food and Nutrition page, called SuperTracker. SuperTracker take your food intake and exercise then analyses it. Below are my results from yesterday and today.


I found this to be very interesting. According to SuperTracker, I should eat more grains and dairy. I should also decrease my fruit intake but I probably won't change my fruit intake though. I never heard of empty calories being associate to food. Normally, I hear it when they mention sodas. Most of my empty calories came from the whole milk and butter I eat, but I manage to be way under my limit.


I would suggest everyone give SuperTracker a try for one day. Just input your food and exercise data and see what is says.

I made a strawberry banana smoothie and blueberry banana smoothie yesterday, both were delicious. Today, I had a red raspberry banana smoothie. It was great except for the raspberry seeds getting stuck in my teeth. Did you know a cup of raspberries has 9g of fiber? That's a lot. I'm going to have a blackberry banana smoothie later today. 

Branden's Simple Fruit Smoothie

1/2 cup of frozen fruit (your choice)
2 frozen bananas
2 cups of ice
1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of water

Blend until desired consistency.
Should be enough for two people or one greedy person, like me. :-)

Oh, I peeked at the scale this morning, I weigh 248.2. Yah!

Well, I gained...

Sunday's Weigh-In: 249.4 lbs
 Goal Weight: 175.0 lbs
Pounds to Lose: 74.4 lbs
Well, I gained .2 pounds this week, no biggie as long this doesn't happen two weeks in a row. Since my weight is virtually that same, there is no change in BMI this weekDisappointed? Not really. I was bad two days so I'm going to count those as my cheat day.

That ticker at the top is very misleading, last week I have lost a total of 32.6. It rounded it to 33 lbs lost. This week, I gained .2 lbs, making my total 32.4. So it rounded down to 32 lbs lost. Which looks like I gained one whole pound instead .2 pounds. :-/


I walked 49.56 miles and burned 8890 calories this week. Yah! I did think about walking 9 miles a day but I found it wasn't feasible.  For example, walking 2 miles take me about 30 minutes so normally pop my food into the food streamer before my walk and when I return my lunch is ready. :-) But walking 3 miles takes me 45 minutes so my food will overcook. :-( I could cook my food when I return but then I have to wait another 30 minutes to eat. :-(

As you can see I changed my goal from 185 lbs to 175 lbs. I opted to forgo my birthday, December 21, 2013, as my goal date but instead I adopted this philosophy, "I will get there when I get there." Meaning as I continue to eat healthy and exercise I will eventually reach my goal.


Oh, I decided not to post a spreadsheet of my food intake any more since it changes often, however, I did provide a link to my food diary on MyFitnessPal since it is easier to track my food and any changes that might occur during the day. I will not be posting my daily analysis from MyNetDiary app anymore, just the weekly analysis every Sunday. I also will discontinue posting "If you eat like today...you'd weigh XXX.X lbs in 5 weeks" from MyFitnessPal. 


I made a few changes to this site, Food Facts has been changed to Must-Reads, Must-Haves has been merged with Remedies, and I also added my shopping list under Groceries. I plan to update Must-Reads and Must-Haves daily, so check back often.
