1 carp exhange/serving ~ 15 gms of carb. <5 don't count

It comes from the American Diabetic Assoc diet (I'm type II)

When I'm being good they break down something like this

2-3 servings (exhanges) breakfast
2-3 servings lunch
1 serving afternoon snack
3-4 servings diner
1-2 good night snack

I normally walk/jog in the afternoon - after the snack (normally a cup of milk or a can of V8)

as noted about, one of my problems is if I don't write stuff down - I lose control of what is going into the gullet.
another problem I have is that I don't like leafy green vegis.

For the restof the diet I try to follow the food pyramid (or what ever it is called these days)

I just read this book about sugar: http://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Nation-H.../dp/1401323448

Dude was diagnosed as Type II and then essentially cut all carbs. He goes on and on and on about how carbs are bad. Hated the book but there were some interesting parts. Just wondering if you have read that and if he was crazy.

I counted carbs for quite a while. What I found is basically:

to lose weight: eat really strict and feel a little hungry all the time
to maintain: eat really strict and never feel hungry or eat some crap food and force myself to feel hungry sometimes
gain: eat all i want all the time

Genius, I know.

What do you mean carb exchanges?

If I do this my morning blood sugar is normally between 80-90. It hasn't been so good recently, so.............................

I don't count calories, but I do count carb exhanges try to keep to about 15 per day. If I don't write it down - it gets a little out of wach.

I've got to get going again - I need to lose 20 lbs ............again
currently 193, I want to get down to about 170

work out - as most of you know I walk/jog every day - including Sundays. I jog 3-4 times a week for a total of between 10-15 miles and walk/jog a total of between 40-45 miles/week

nice. Keep up the good work. I think this time around I am going to start lifting weights as well as run. I just find it hard to motivate and push myself when lifting alone in the garage. I am going to have to figure it out though, as it is my only option right now.

Lifting alone is tough. It's hard to really push yourself and nearly impossible to work out too failure. Though you have that smith machine which helps. Working out with my two training partners is really motivating.

I don't count calories but I avoid sugar, eat a good breakfast and try not to eat too many hamburgers. I do 45 minutes of exercise 6 days a week (lifting weights and/or running) early in the morning. I'm now 160 lbs of muscular and raw sexual energy, down from a lot more than that six months ago. PM me if you'd like pictures.

I lift alone. What motivates me is keeping track of my progress and trying to push through to new records.

Gidget got tired of being married to a fatty. Plus with the girls all having their own rooms now they go down pretty easily.

How do you get out of the night time routine with the wifey and kids?

I am at the gym from 7:30-9:30 at night.

That's impressive. That's pretty close to my pre-law-school weight. I always have intentions of getting back there but I can't ever find the motivation and/or time.

When you run home from work do you just leave your clothes at the office and take them home the next day? How does that work?

I have a small backpack I shove them in and wear when I run.

\Anyway, checked in at 172 at the gym this past Sunday and feeling pretty good.

What time do you work out? Two hours a day at the gym is impressive.
