Buddies ... please email me at lhoeppne@indiana.edu -- if you wanna be my buddy :)

Thanks guys. everyones input was helpful ...

so do you think low blood sugar can cause weird weight fluctuations?

Thanks. Makes me feel better. I acutally had a pretty intense workout day yesterday. I sorta accidently ran 13 miles (ran 4 in the am then 6 after work) and then my friend wanted to go for a jog with me that ended up being a bit over 3 miles long and i also did a core workout in there. so the water retention thing makes sense. ]

I  was going to get up and run today but i feel like i should wait till this eveing ...give my body a chance to recover.

Thanks I am going to try that and I did some HIIT training at the gym today and played raquet ball (change in workout routine :) ..hope this helps me

Can you give me and example of how to do this?

Thanks for the info...i think i just need to get my eating scedule back on track...Ive been soo busy lately i find that i forget to eat during the day (i dont really get hungry when i am destracted) and then i binge hardcore at night ... thats prolly where i am doing the damage :(

any tips on countering that situation?

I think i might have Night EAting Syndrome acutally .

5.8 feet 140lbs wanna drop 5-10 by mid to end aug.

I run roughly 10 miles a day (no joke) and weight train -- dif muscle groups every other day.

Do you fill your plate with serving sized portions? I always measure things out and just log the whole serving size into calorie-count, even if I don't eat it all. I dont add spices and gum to my log and my reasoning is that by maybe leaving a bit on my plate of a serving size i logged into my daily food diary, everything balances out.

I like Will Smith's two keys to life:

1. Run

2. Read 

I do these two things everyday -- sometimes at the same time (treadmill running is my special talent...although I also do relaxation reading because thats important too!!)

I'm a new vegan and my mom bought me one of those advent calanders with the little window you open with milk chocolates in them. They are so small so I figure just one little milk chocolate a day isnt going to compromise my decison to go vegan for ethical reasons too much. After december tho no more milk chocolate! :)...anyway the point of my little story is to make ya feel better about drinking a cappacino made with milk. I feel like once and awhile we can't be perfect. Although I gave up drinking milk awhile ago -- before i went straight vegan -- and If i drink it now i get horrible stomach achs so personally I wouldn't have drank it because I would make me sick all day.

I am almost 5'9 around 145 (147 today..hoping its just a water weight day or something). I want to be 140 or 135..thats where I was at the beginging of September.

My night binging ususally is several peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches :( or cereal. I live in sorority house and we have a snack room filled with random things so the not buying items to keep me from being tempted idea doesnt really work for me...luckily I will be living in London next semester with my own kitchen so that will change things a bit. What should I do in the meantime? I really want to be 5 lbs lighter (at least) by xmas.

In terms of not eating enough during the day, I thought that too so I started increasing my calorie in-take during the day and that didn't change the night bingeing thing. It like takes over..sometimes I end up in the kitchen with food in my hand and I don't even know how I got there. Its a bazaar phneonmena.

whats your daily ratio of carbs to protien?

Where can I get this Ezekel brand bread?
