Roony....I've tossed around the idea of buying the Soy Milk you talk about in you log. How does it taste? I'm not a big milk drinker, never have been. I think it tastes like crap unless it's with cereal or mixed with something......but you drank a glass of this stuff before bed one night, so I'm wondering.....is it GOOD?

SG, not all soy milk is created equal. Make sure you buy the kind that needs refrigeration. I recommend the Silk brand (although I hear the Eighth Continent is good too) which is what I drink. The plain is tough to stomach (lil' bit of an acquired taste) but the Vanilla flavor is pretty good The chocolate tastes best but it has over twice the amount of carbs and sugar, so I don't consume too much of it. If you are nervous abt entering the world of soy milk though, chocolate would be the place to start

The macros for 1 cup of Silk Vanilla soy milk that I drink before bed is 100 cals - 10g carbs, 6g protein, 3.5g fat.

Here are websites for both brands that provide more macros:

(I don't have access to their full product line in my grocery store unfortunately)

Looking good, Chicka! You're making me want to try spinning...but I think my butt may regret it!

You're seriously kicking butt with your diet and training...NICE!

I hope you have a good weekend! Any plans?

Thanks, Fly! Do try spinning...it's a great variation to the traditional cardio! I don't know how you are built, but since I carry a lot of my fat in my lower body, I have "natural padding" for my butt.

I also wanted to let you know that I went to Whole Foods yesterday and you were right - tons of choices in spices and sauces! I was a lil' overwhelmed but I did pick up thai fish sauce, jerk spice, some tofu products and their stone wheat tortillas (I got conned though because it said 110 cals for 8 servings, but there were only 4 tortillas in the pack, so that's really for just half a tortilla. If I had known that, I would have got the Ezeikal wraps instead). But thanks so much for pointing me that way I think I may become a regular shopper there now. I did notice the produce and meat/fish prices were astronomical still, but everything else was pretty reasonable.

I'm heading to West Palm Beach, Florida this weekend for a wedding, so I'm excited. I'm flying out tomorrow afternoon - can't wait! I hope you have a nice weekend too!

Thanks, Bunns! I've slightly altered my diet these days to be more well-balanced while still keeping it clean. I want to make sure I don't stress my kidneys and digestive system, so I'm trying to increase my fiber and include all food groups e.g fruit, low fat dairy. I also am keeping my protein intake to about 150g and consuming some in terms of soy since that's a little easier for the body to process. Once I figure out where to add in beans and lentils, I'll be including those into the daily regime too.
