An overdue update

Well, in March, I decided I needed to get up off my ass and start weight training. The diet-only thing had come to an end and the scale wasn't moving. Also, I couldn't use dystonia as an excuse, since I wasn't having too many problems with it. In April, I started Body for Life - this program rocks! Its basically body building for noobs.

So far, I've lost almost 30 inches and have gone from a size 14 down to a six. A six! Yeah, yeah, vanity sizing, blah, blah, blah. I know. Even if I'm really an eight, its still way smaller than a 14. And it's nowhere near the size 16 I was back in October. Woo!

I'm nearing the end of my first challenge and I'm pretty happy with how I've done and I'm planning on starting another one as soon as this one is done.

So, my exciting meal plan for today...

Whey shake with strawberries

Banana Walnut muffin (recipe below)
1/2 cup cottage cheese

Chicken, vegetable and wild rice soup (I think I've posted this recipe before)
Non fat yogurt

Banana Walnut muffin
1/2 cup cottage cheese

BBQ Ginger Garlic Beef kebabs with 2 cups peppers, tomatos and mushrooms
Brown and wild rice

Whey shake with strawberries

I have to admit that I'm getting sick of cottage cheese. I need to look for some other, convenient sources of protein that are portable.

Banana Walnut Muffins (HAF: SE)

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup crushed walnuts
8 tbsp cocoa powder

Combine, make a well and set aside.

2 eggs, beaten
2 tbsp non hyudrogenated vegetable oil
1 cup plain, nonfat yogurt
4 overripe bananas
1/2 cup skim milk
2 tsp real vanilla
3 tbsp melted honey

Combine, pour into dry ingredients, mix, pour into lined muffin tins and bake at 350 degrees until tops are firm. Makes 24.

I figured out the macros but I can't find where I put it. Calories came in at around 140/muffin.
