You are right brother... they are great that way. I even had the cornbread there!!! I was proud of myself.

I had 2 eggs and some egg whites for breakfast.

Snack maybe a protein shake with water instead of milk

Lunch not sure, thinking a greek salad with chicken breast, or maybe some turkey breast and some carrots

dinner not sure, maybe same as lunch.

This is hard, and I KNOW i need to start working out again, but i haven't yet, can't will myself to do it yet ;/

Protein shake w/ water

It is hard to start working out. Start off easy, just go walking for a week. Then up it to jogging or move to the gym. Just getting your heart rate up and sweat some does wonders.
Tae-bo isn't the manliest workout, but it is great for working up both a sweat and your heartrate.

The protein shake is chocolate flavored, whey protein, its tasty

I wish i could go for a walk man, i do that in the spring/summer, but its -40c here and too cold. I have a workout room in my condo, weights and treadmills and such. I just have a hard time motivating myself to do it, it's just so much easier to sit on the couch and watch tv after work, or troll the forums.

Tae-bo?

It gets the job done. I lost 30+ lbs two yrs ago on WW and Tae-bo. Good fat burner and cardio.

Still have points to go, but don't wanna eat this late at night.

Today:

Breakfast: Oatmeal, 3 eggs (2 whites, 1 whole)
Lunch: Beef pho (sorry, couldn't resist with the crappy weather)
Snack: 2 scoops whey protein for pre-workout shake with water
Post-workout: Another 2 scoops of whey protein + creatine with water
Dinner: Ham wrap

Workout consisted of 35 minutes on the elliptical, followed by:

4x8 lunges
4x10 dumbbell squats
4x6 standing leg curls
4x10 standing calf raises

Most of this stuff is all improvised since I'm using the work gym that has a limited selection of machines and dumbbells only up to 30 lbs. All in all, I'm pretty happy with the workout. Lunges really did a number on my legs, made it interesting walking up/down the stairs in my house!

One site that I started using a long time ago but rarely update (since it is kinda narrow) is traineo.com. They have a nice tool for you to record body weight, calories spent exercising, recording how you feel you did with your diet (by recording the calories you ate + a sliding scale on if you cheated on your diet or not). Since starting over I'm using it again to record my workouts (helps having a heartrate monitor so I can get a better grasp on calories burnt during exercise) as well as record my weight and performance on my diet.
