This should make our lunch choices much easier... though I plan on packing lunches shortly

If you have a wendys around, I found the wendy's homestyle chicken grill sandwich (or whatever its named) to be fairly healthy, within my calorie limits and contains proper macros.

[nature boy]

is juice bad?
dang, all i drink at home is pop and juice.
oh and beer, but that doesn't count (i hope).

gl man.

It's all about the sugars. Beer is simple sugar as well.

[geForce]

Yeah, beer totally counts. It's one of the bad ones because of all the hops... but I guess that depends on your own personal goals, if you're part of this.

[joel]

you can drink light beer... but i think that even still has about 70-100 cals per serving.

[supersuk]

juice is like drinking pop with vitamins.
beer is like fermented grain juice. Carbs are not the worst thing about beer, Alchohol also slows down your metabolism for a short period.

[nature boy]

this does not sound motivating anymore.

[Wetundies]

ok, u get to a sip for every 1 min you maintain ur heart rate over 140 bpm

[jeSteR]

140 is fat burning, but hardly what I'd call real cardio....

HEY KEEP THIS ON TOPIC... it's about Motivating GORD in this thread!!!!!

[joel]

Gord, how's progress on your goal going?

[geForce]

I have started to cut out pop and some juices. After I'm done the batch of beer that I bought a couple of weeks ago, I'll start to cut out beer too.

Still struggling a bit on the food part of it... Jai keeps buying me fries.
I'll work on that though.

My exercise routine hasn't started yet. Need a bit more motivation on that part.

[jeSteR]

$100 is good motivation

Update on my goals:

I didn't drink much juices before, except for those small Vitasoy juice boxes which I've cut out on. Significantly cut down on beer and pop. I went from having 1 pop every couple of days down to 1 or 2 pops every couple of weeks. I had 1 beer at Jai and Coleen's party which was the first one in 2 weeks.

I don't have a scale at home, so I can't weight myself, but I went down 1 notch on my belt, haha.
