Mary - How did you make your edameme? Did you cook it? I've only had it in restaurants, wouldn't have a clue how to cook at home, but would love tips!

I buy it at Sam's. It comes in a box with like 6 or 8 individual plastic tubs (and it even has individual packs of sea salt). I have thawed it, and just eaten it that way.....room temp, but tonight I just popped it in the microwave for about 1 min. Bill and I split one little container. They're like peanuts.....you can't eat just one!

Most grocery stores around here carry them in the vegetarian freezer section. They also carry them "shelled" but I eat really fast so having to get them out of their shell/pod slows me down (a little)

[Fit2010]

Mary - Sounds like it would make a good afternoon snack for me - full of protein too! We've got Sams here...it's going on the shopping list!

[barrister7]

Still early in the day, so I'm not going to post my food info yet. But did want to brag about the excellent long run I had this morning! I started MWL on August 18th - so here I am almost 3 months later and I've lost 27 pounds! I think that my image of my body is finally catching up to my actual body right now - maybe that's why my 9-mile run this morning felt fabulous! It's been forever since I've had a run where I just got out there and enjoyed every step, never struggled and felt like I was actually helping my body rather than hurting by carrying around the extra weight! Talk about a great motivator! Thanks so much for my brief foray into "it's all about me" - this morning it was! Have a great day everyone

[Fit2010]

Barrister7 - Wow! You go girl! Enjoy the accolades...you deserve them! I have no interest in going more than a 5K. Was it cold out there? I'm turning into an outdoor wimp as it gets cooler.

That's freakin' awesome! i hope to eventually be able to run for longer...times and/or distances. Right now, the most I can muster is about 3 miles but I've just become interested in outdoor running. I have always been more into indoor cardio and light weight training....not to mention it is more time consuming for me to run because I have to travel to a nearby park (my neighborhood is not conducive to running). I have been doing my normal stuff but breaking it up by running on friday mornings since I'm off work on fridays. I have noticed a difference in the appearance of my body since running that I am pleased with. I think it is making me look longer. I have short legs and they carry a good deal of muscle. My best friend refers to them as soccer legs or softball legs......not fair cause I want "ballerina" legs! Oh well....you work with what you're given.
Nov 5,2010 was not a very balanced day of eating for me because I was out of the house and busy.
b-cm yogurt, banana, almonds
s-protein crunch bar

Just wanted to say - I can definitely relate to this, Char. Did you see the People Magazine this month about Portia De Rossi and her anorexia? All she wanted was long, straight legs which led to her eating disorder. That spoke volumes to me. So yes... you are right. We need to work with what we have. Thank you.

11/13/10

L - carb control tortillas X2 with Italian beef and swiss cheese, microwaved
S - 3 Deb's nobake Protein cookies (see Nov thread)
S - 1/2 Atkins coffee mocha protein shake, slightly frozen
D - 2 Deb's Oatmeal Protein Cookies - very filling though small (should have had veggies or a real meal instead but wanted to try these)

Bicycled 2 1/2 miles outside on hilly terrain. Beautiful fall day! (I was bundled up!)

[Charlene4]

b-cm yogurt, banana
s-atkins advantage bar
late lunch-fit and fresh veggie omellette from IHOP w/fresh fruit on the side and a side salad
s-almond crunch
No official dinner because of late lunch....went to a launch party and ended up at a taco shop afterwards. Didn't order anything but water but ended up eating a side of black beans and a veggie marinade thing which was cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. I suppose that's not bad but I HATE eating really late at night...I wake up feeling so nasty. I'm sure it will subside by tomorrow. Mother in law has been in town for three days and is here, staying with us, for another 7 days. It's hard not to stress eat. I am not a good overnight hostess. I like having guests but not guests who stay more than one day....an we all know how MILs can be.
-No workout tonight. Had to sternly inform said MIL that my gym equipment is GYM EQUIPMENT and NOT a closet/laundry hamper!

[Charlene4]

b-yogurt
s-apple, pistachios
l-"pizza", low carb wheat tortilla, string cheese, tofurky and parm cheese baked in a toaster oven at work.... decent for experimental lunch
s-baked apple, in the same sad little toaster oven, gel snack
d-will likely be some egg whites. my dad is coming over tonight and is bringing pizza. I really don't like regular pizza much anyway...so that won't be much temptation for me...I'm gonna try to eat before he gets there so I don't look like a weirdo eating my egg whites while everyone else has pizza.
As long as everyone clears out/settles in by 745 or so, I'll do 45 minutes on bike and some misc weights

[subee3]

b- egg salad (two HB eggs with a little dijon and relish - Yum!)
l- chicken breast
d- probably some steak with the fam - they'll be having salad and baked potatoes too (I'm still week one)
lots of h2o and some of my new find Special K protein water (great for days I work out - really curbs the hunger)
Treadmill 40 minutes, walk/run intervals - 350 cals
