Last Post of 2010!

Happy holidays!

This will be the last post for the year as not much has changed. However, the new year will be different with a new program and new diet.

However, for the last few weeks I have been working out hard core. I took a week off but I have done my 3 days of week of workout and I have been eating fairly well. I have not gained weight but I have not lost any and I think my body is a little more tones.

I think I have reached a plateau and am going to change it up next year that is why I have been keeping the current workout until the end of the year.

MyFitnessPal.com is awesome!

I just started using myfitnesspal.com and it is great! It is much better than mypyramidtracker.gov just because the nutritional information for food is more complete. It is great to calculate your caloric intake but that is all I find it useful for.

Here is an example of my intake from yesterday. I set my personal goal to eat 2400 calories to gain 0.5 lbs/per week. I also set my carbs - protein - fat ratio to 40%-40%-20% (this means 40% of my calories should come from carbs and protein while 20% should come from fat).

Remember, tools only provide estimates unless you put in exactly every little thing you eat and added to cook your food.
