FitBIt sounds awesome. I can’t wait to hear what you think about it.

I wanted to comment about eating – I was told the best way to lose weight and stay in shape was not to eat three big meals a day, but about five smaller meals a day or every three hours. This could be a small breakfast in the morning (which, from what I heard, cereal is actually pretty bad – the best would be egg whites, fruit, bread, etc. the components of a balanced breakfast), a mid-morning snack of yogurt or/and a protein bar, a nice lunch, etc. I just invested in a whey protein shake powder today with the intention of supplementing it to my workout. My goal is different than yours, though, so I’m not really sure if it would be beneficial for you.

Just thought I’d share, though.

May I use you as an inspiration? I’m finding it really hard to stay motivated to go to the gym. However, if I know of more and more people who are going, then I’ll be more motivated to go, as well.

I remember when I did my internship in Houston, if I was running late, I could grab a banana or apple since it’s easy to eat in the car on the way to work. Plus you said something about bananas being a great benefit on a daily basis, so why not?

My favorite part of lunch was a wrap. It was this really healthy super thin pita/bread/whatever/icanfindoutforyou thing and I would put a bunch of lettuce in it, some healthier lunch meat, and low fat cheese (sharp cheddar is win for more flavor), and I would also have a little baggie of sliced tomato and added them at lunch time (so the bread would not get soggy). It was super easy to make especially if you prepared it the night before and have it ready to go in the morning. It was a nice habit to develop over the summer.
