Well then. Food has never quite been my thing and, as such, I tend to eat a lot of things that require zero to little effort from me, such as fast food. Yeah, oops. Anyway, I've started making soups and smoothies a lot but I realized that I actually don't know if the things I am making are good for me! The smoothie is usually breakfast or lunch and the soup is more a dinner thing, eaten with a piece of bread/toast/cornbread and a glass of milk. Smoothies: 1/2 cup of low-fat frozen yogurt Teaspoon of honey 3/4 cup frozen fruit (have used pineapple, mango, cherry, and strawberry) Either 1/4 cup skim milk or 1/4 cup protein drink Soup: 1 cup low-sodium veggie broth 1/2 cup water 1 red potato Handful of carrots 1/4 cup rice Random veggies depending on what I have (have used green onion, corn, peas, and broccoli)

Hey y'all, I am trying to eat a bit better. My weekly goals are: Include 1 serving of fruit or vegetables every day No more than 32 oz of soda per day Under 2200 calories a day I'm a pretty picky eater, so I tried to come up with a plan that I thought I'd actually want to eat. I think it looks decent but would appreciate some thoughts.Meal Plan.pdf

You can call me Duz. I'm a 27 year old educational professional currently living in Texas, United States. I've been working out semi-regularly (1-3 times a week) for about six months now, and it's become a part of my routine. I had to miss a whole week last week because of circumstances, and it felt like I hadn't been to the gym in FOREVER. Here are my measurements: Weight: 210 lbs (down 10 lbs) Waist: 39" (down 1 inch) Bicep: 14" (down .25 inch) Thigh: 25" (down 2.5 inches) I don't have weight or measurement goals, but as long as I keep seeing change, I will be happy. My main goals are to be strong and kickass like Xena or She-Hulk and crush a watermeleon with my thighs one day. My biggest obstacle is that I was badly injured in high school and have a messed up leg that makes tasks difficult, sometimes even walking. It waxes and wanes, sometimes from nothing at all to other times having to walk with a cane. I also really hate meat and most forms of protein, and that might be why I struggle to put on muscle. As far as nerdom, I am a big TMNT fan. I'm working my way though 2003 right now, and I watch one episode as I do my cardio. It makes it easier to get through it, because I really dislike cardio but I understand the importance of it. Raphael is my favorite turtle and I wish I could lift with him. * _ * I'm a blue lantern fan and have a blue lantern tattoo. (I also have a TMNT tattoo and a Silent Hill tattoo. Training to survive SH sounds like an interesting idea!) I'm also queer as a football bat and into activism and intersectional feminism. I like really silly work out shirts that say things like "You can't lift with us" or "I lift things up and put them down"
