Viking Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Hi, I'm Viking. Not terribly new around here, but as a reminder, my specs ... Height: 5'4''Weight: 247 lbs. Body fat %: Unknown Recent Accomplishments: - Completing the Savage Race Mud Run in Central Florida in March 2012. Recent Failures: - Pretty much anything I put in my mouth. Plus my workout routine has unraveled lately. Food/Fitness goals: #1: Eat at least 3 pieces of fruit per day. Time/meal does not matter, but I must eat them. #2: Cook at least 4 meals at home per week. This one is going to be a real challenge, but I can do it. #3: Complete the Get Fitness Run/Walk 5k on May 12th. http://preventarthritis.org/walk-a-thon/Life goal: Complete my 18-page paper for History Seminar, due Wed. 5/2/12. Complete my final Viking History Paper and Beowulf paper. All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither. Deep roots are not touched by the frost. http://www.kriegschool.com Link to comment

Viking Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Goals for the past two days... Yesterday I ate 3 oranges and wrote up to 9 pages of paper, so check for #1 and #4. Today, finished my 18 page paper and turned it in. Check on #4! Started my Viking final paper. 50% complete on that goal. Cooked dinner with husband, so check for #2 - made homemade spaghetti loaded with peppers, mushrooms, and onions, extra lean beef, and whole wheat noodles. Very filling and delicious. No cheese involved Proud of myself for that. Have leftovers for the next few days. Today's workout - rearranging furniture in the living room. Spent most of the day working on the paper. My back is screaming due to inactivity, I think. I also did not make my fruit goal. I am so full I doubt I am going to. Rather than force myself to eat, I am going to count the bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion in my sauce as my "3 veggies." (There was more veggies than sauce or meat in the pot. Husband is successful at spoiling me.) Today's failures: 2 Milano cookies and 5 Twizzlers. Minimal damage but I really shouldn't be eating this garbage at all. However, I am weaning myself slowly to avoid a binge. See ya'll tomorrow! All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither.

Viking Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Progress for the last two days... 5/3/12 - only ate 1 piece of fruit. I was too full by the end of the night to eat 3. This means I need to eat fruit earlier in the day, I guess. 5/4/12 - #1 - intending on attacking fruit shortly. #2 - Making a healthy veggie pizza with homemade leftover spaghetti sauce and dough. Check! #3 - going to get the form from the gym tonight. #4 - CHECK! All papers completed and turned in. Very happy about this one. (Why, oh why, did I choose a history major? I hate writing papers. ) All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither.

Viking Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Doing OK but not great on food. However, I did sign up to become a hiking guide on Saturdays at the local nature preserve, both to get outside more and work out some of my Ranger Rick urges. I need to invest in a dorky vest with many pockets, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty good about my choice. All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost.
