Ugh. (Lauren)
If you are hoping for a happy happy blog that makes you feel like a better person inside and out then don’t read this.
I am so drained at the moment! I just don’t know what to do, I feel emotionally drained and I have just been to the gym so now I feel physically drained too…
I am not used to this!
Ughhhh I don’t know what to do.
I will add more later! x
Good Morning. (Lauren)
Fruit, water and Bjork <3
I went to the gym last night so that is a total of three times this week! My eating has improved 100%!!
I went into a phase of semi binging on sandwiches at night, but I am out of that now (thank god)!
It is strange because now I work afternoon/evenings I have to eat dinner at 6pm in my break when before I would eat about 8pm. I need to start having fruit and...
Today (Adam)
I cut the shit and get back to doing what I can do. Can I look back at this. Read these words and break my mental block that will not let me succeed?! YOU DO NOT PHYSICALLY HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU MIND DEMANDS YOU DO. Take back and create your own rules. You know that feeling. You have felt it one too many time. Don’t create any more lies! Clear head and good food today.

Tuesday Food Blog (Adam)
Feel like I ate a bit much today but still did pretty well. LATE AM: I ate a whole bag of strawberry red vines and a sprout wrap — I ate very slowly though and didn’t really consume past the point of being content. I also had a small hand full of raw almonds and some dried cranberries. PM: Delicious dinner tonight. I stuffed a pork loin chop with garlic and tons of fresh herbs...
Monday Food Blog (Adam)
Vegetables galore today as I tried to clean out my fridge of everything before I go grocery shopping tomorrow. AM: Sprout Sandwich on a whole wheat flat bread. Light sour cream, tons of fresh cilantro and lemon juice was combined to make a wonderful spread. So clean tasting! PM: Veg Pasta. In a pan, I sauteed onions, garlic, carrot, parsnips, asparagus, white cabbage, and boch choy in a...
Weekend Log (Adam)
Hot tranny mess weekend (video below) — I kept in control with the eating despite the buckets of gin!
No food pics for the weekend (think I will just do it on weekdays). Rundown of what I ate for the sake of being accountable: Saturday: AM: Turkey sandwich on whole wheat pita with sprouts and light sour cream spread. PM: Asian salad from Haggens that had chicken, mandarin oranges,...
Friday Food Blog
A lazy day filled with the greatest food. AM: Started the day with jasmine blossom green tea which was sent to me by beautiful Lauren. Really soft and wonderful! I usually drink russian green tea which is a bit more bitter so this was really lovely. I also snacked on a few raw almonds and grape tomatoes. LATE AM: The greatest sandwich I think I have ever made. It was all in the spread! I...
Thursday Food Blog
Hello! Today was very bread-y! Let’s get this done. AM: Pizza for breakfast! This pizza was terribly healthy though. On a piece of greek wheat pita bread I spread a thin layer of fruity olive oil then topped it with a leftover chicken sausage (from last night), a few sliced grape tomatoes and some fresh cilantro. No cheese or sauce required, I put it under the broiler for a few minutes...
Wednesday Food Blog (Adam)
Another day. Hello all! I stocked up on groceries today so am looking forward to a week of delicious food. EARLY AM:: I woke up in the middle of the night and stumbled to the kitchen hungry. I ate a dry, tasteless peanut butter sandwich which I COVERED with chocolate fudge. Haha! Lordy. LATE AM: A healthy lunch of strawberry red vines! On a roll here people. I also snacked on a couple cherry...
Morning blog. (Lauren)
Good Morning <3
Yesterdays food was good! (mostly)
Breakfast - Toast with light cream cheese, apple, milky coffee
Lunch - Tuna and chickpeas with homegrown garden salad, fresh rocket etc, and bread.
Dinner - Pasta bolognese with a little cheese
(I did have a sandwich later that night that i shouldn’t have had! I know that I am only hungry because I am not drinking my water! It is...
Food Blog (Adam)
AM: Started out the day with a cup of lime green tea which was sent to me by beautiful Lauren all the way from England! So so fantastic. Can’t wait to try the jasmine blossom tomorrow. Along with it, I had a small cup of pumpkin seeds and a giant spoon full of creamy peanut butter. I spent the day with Shae (after she was locked out of her house) and then later with my sister, Starr and...
I love that picture of us!! I haven’t seen it before :)
I am so proud of you Adam! You are doing fantastically!
And for me…well
Today has been good! Let’s just forget about the past :D
I have been to the gym, saw Mister Hottie! Worked my ass off!!
Now I am home, eating banana, raisens, sunflower seeds, and home grown strawberries drizzled in a little honey.
All is...
Food Blog (Adam)
Returning after a small hiatus, I am back in Washington! A hand full of days where I ate complete crap but I am feeling really good. Today was the first day since being home that I made a real meal in my own kitchen. All is well in the world! Back at home, in control of the foods that surround me, I can breathe a little easier. I am very proud with how well I controlled myself in California....
No Binge: Day 9 out of 30
AM: Blueberry preserve on a piece of ezekial sprouted grain toast, a hand full of raw almonds, and a cup of lemon green tea. LATE AM: Some really amazing hot plum jelly and light whipped cream cheese spread onto 2 crackers. EARLY PM: Blah! Randomly snacked on a bunch of little things I did not need. I was hungry but did not to eat quite this much. Couple spoonfuls of peanut butter,...
No Binge: Day 8 out of 30
A bland day of food. I woke up feeling horrible. My throat is still messed up though feels like it is now getting a bit better. AM: Mint green tea and a lowfat guava/strawberry yogurt LATE AM: Peanut butter and jelly on ezekial sprouted grain bread. PM: A cup of Chicken broth. In a small pot I simmered broth, water, the juice of a lemon, onion, celery, and garlic (which I later drained)...
No Binge: Day 7 out of 30
EARLY AM: I went out again last night and had 3 gin and tonics and 1 vodka-cran. Later went to wendy’s and had a faux-blizzard that was chocolate with chunks of oreo and m&ms. Was pretty fabulous. :/ Again, it is important for me to note that even though I haven’t eaten the highest quality foods, I am still not over consuming. Eating when hungry and stopping with full....
No Binge: Day 6 out of 30
Ended up going out last night and drinking 4 (or 5?) gin and tonics and woke up in a strangers house. Meh. Classy classy. Today I ate absolute crap though did not binge. Once I woke up around noon I made my way home and inhaled some mediterranean pasta salad, half of a left over chicken breast and a hand full of almonds. Later after a long shower and nap my mom woke me up with crappy fast...
No Binge: Day 5 out of 30
I need to be stricter on what a binge actually is to me. I guess I am so used to my regular idea of a binge which is sitting down and eating until sick. I can easily put away 2 or 3 days worth of calories in one sitting during a regular binge. Last night after I posted I ate a bunch of crap. It was not a MASSIVE binge at all but it was still emotional eating past the point of being content. I...
No Binge: Day 4 out of 30
Terrible night of uneven sleep which can usually lead to an uneven day of eating but I did really well! AM: Very sweet and delicious breakfast. Lowfat vanilla yogurt, a piece of toasted sprouted grain bread that I slathered with a serving of blueberry preserve — so so good! I also had a fuji apple which I tossed in a bit of lemon juice and sprinkled with a touch of cinnamon - very simple...

No Binge: Day 3 out of 30
AM: Enjoyed my breakfast yesterday so much that I had the same thing this morning. A nonfat bartlett pear yogurt, green grapes, and a small hand full of raw almonds. LATE AM: Again, a mimic of yesterday. Cucumber and alfalfa sprouts between 2 pieces of ezekial sprouted grain bread. On the bread I spread a small amount of mayonnaise and horseradish mustard. Along with it I had a dill pickle. ...
No Binge: Day 2 out of 30
AM: For breakfast I had a nonfat bartlett pear yogurt (I can’t find this flavor of Wallaby in WA. So good!) — I also had a bowl of green grapes and a small hand full of raw almonds Something about this combination was so wonderful. I should eat almonds more often. The smallest amount is so filling. LATE AM: I had a blended passion tea lemonade from Starbucks. Perfect on this hot...
No Binge: Day 1 out of 30
Talking to Vince (Vzballa on youtube) we discussed about not bingeing at all for the whole month of June. I am not too keen on challenges but this really is something I need. Vince and I are both at similar stages of our weight loss so it will be good to be able to hold each other accountable. AM: A small plate of red. Fresh strawberries and juicy grape tomatoes. With it I had polenta which I...

Self, Please Take Heed
Blarg. 2 bad days in a row as you may have guessed from my lack of posting. I just wanted to eat eat eat — Tough being in my mothers house surrounded by all this glorious food when I am used to my very controlled environment back at home. All the choices here can get the best of me. But today I am back to it. I want to go home lighter than I left. AM: I had an incredibly smooth and...
Back to the Desert. Back on Track.
Working my way back into doing this. Back down here in Palm Springs after 10 days up at the youtube meetup. Had a fantastic time but am glad to be back down with my mom. I should be here a couple more week. This has turned into the longest vacation ever! A couple bad days in a row, it is time to sink or swim. On top of things today… AM: Lowfat guava and strawberry yogurt along with a...
I know, I know. (Lauren)

Sorry I haven’t posted, been so busy!

Meh (Adam)
So, a bad day last night. Food, food, and more food. Didn’t eat enough during the day, got a terrible sun burn, fell asleep early and woke up in the middle of the night with a ravenous hunger. Chocolate, candy, peanut butter, chips, cheesy death, leftovers, and on and on and on… But back on track today, still feeling good. I am going to take a break with documenting the food. Will...
Best (Adam)
Another day in paradise! I’ve had so much more fun here in Palm Springs than I usually do. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I do not feel weighed down by food like I usually do when here. Temptation has not been bad at all. It actually has been nice to have different food around me. Sometimes I get stuck in my own schedule, buying and eating the same kind of foods over and...
Mothers Day in Palm Springs (Adam)
Made it to Palm Springs! It is gorgeous down here. I’ve already got a little sun on me. Lovely to be around my mom! AM: I weighed myself this morning and was a bit disappointed with the number — Let it get to me for a bit but can not ignore the fact that I had a PERFECT week in terms on eating and exercise - Look tomorrow for vlog! I am determined over these next few weeks in...
Ready to Leave! (Adam)
Lets make this quick! I fly out tomorrow at 7:30 in the morning. AM: Most ghetto breakfast… Ever — I layered yogurt and jello and had a side of sour patch kids. Ate until content, all is well. LATE AM: Went to the farmers market followed by a long walk to boulevard park. Had a tasty lemon smoothie. Shae (who is my new favorite person) cooked me an amazing meal. Sinigang —...
Seems Logical To Me Captain (Adam)
AM: Popcorn covered with a bit of melted butter and sugar. What joy to eat the correct amount of whatever my body craves and not feel guilty. I also had a lowfat lemon yogurt. LATE AM: I devoured a lowfat vanilla yogurt. I also mindlessly ate some chicken chow mein that Anthony made. Not a whole lot but I did it standing and without thought. Meh. — Not good but it was a very small...
Happy Birthday Cupcake! I love more that you...
Chocolate Cake Is Love (Adam)
AM: Started the day off with a turkey wrap. Turkey, sprouts, and dijon dressing that I wrapped in a flour tortilla. With it I had a cup of strawberry jello! I rarely eat jello. To me it is one of those “diet” foods that people eat to trick themselves into believing that they are eating some delicious treat when in reality it is just a cup of crappy gelatin. — Alas, I have been...
Another Step (Adam)
AM: Late start to the day. Salad! Lettuce and celery that I tossed with balsamic vinegar. On top I piled turkey, 2 slices of swiss cheese and Onion Sprouts which I never get tired of! LATE AM: Got a haircut which always makes me feel better. Walked home in the pouring rain and ate a mammoth bar of my favorite chocolate. So so good! PM: My friend Shae came over to finish off this lazy day...
Happy Up Here (Adam)
AM: I had a delicous sandwich - Turkey, onion sprouts, mayonnaise, whole seed mustard on a whole grain wheat roll. With it, I had a hand full of spicy corn chips. PM: Cinco De Mayo celebration at Jeds! I really needed this. A chance to prove to myself that I can have fun with all of my much loved friends without bingeing on alcohol or food. I had not one margarita or tequila sunrise! For...

TheChubbROCK (1 month ago)
I don’t know why, but to me you look like Amy Winehouse….. and I know that’s not a super duper compliment, but I’m not talking about behavior, I’m talking about the nose and mouth. Are you related?

Weekend Meh (Adam)
Dirty little piggy! 4 out of 7 days of overeating. Another weekend where I couldn’t begin to list all the food I ate if I wanted to. Again again again … Caramel brownies. Ug. Saturday: My friend Chris celebrated his 26th birthday! Spent half the party stressing about food and how to avoid it then spent the other half (once I caved to temptation) thinking how I could consume as...
Today (Adam)
AM: Turkey Sandwich. Turkey, swiss cheese, onion sprouts, and a spread made out of light sour cream, whole seed mustard, habanero sauce, and kosher salt all on a ciabatta roll. PM: Half of a seasoned chicken breast that I browned on the stovetop. Served with a mixture of vegetables (Fresh corn, white cabbage, yellow onion, garlic, and a whole can of water chestnuts) all cooked in a tiny amount...
Better and Better (Adam)
AM: I started the day off with a cup of hot chocolate and a non-fat banana vanilla yogurt. Yum! LATE AM: Ate a whole bag of strawberry licorice. Not the most nutritious lunch by any means but it is what I wanted! PM: Amazing, amazing dinner. Probably ate a little too much but it was really that good. I baked a boneless pork loin chop which I stuffed with garlic cloves and covered in...

Songs From Before (Adam)
Bah. I don’t want to talk about last night. I don’t want to talk about the past 3 days. AM: Low-fat banana vanilla yogurt. Simple. I am getting all detoxy and whatnot. PM: Udon Stir-Fry. In the wok I combined udon noodles, chicken, yellow onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and a habanero pepper (eek!) in the most miniscule amounts of sesame oil and butter. - Adam
All Or Nothing (Adam)
Sundays poor eating crossed over into monday resulting in a full day of bingeing and feeling ill. I could not even begin to complete a list of all the food I took in. Chocolate, candy, ice cream, cookies, chinese food, popcorn, quesadillas, and more. Mindless eating. Eating past the point of being full just to punish myself for making bad choices in the first place. A terrible, terrible day! ...
I am sorry. (Lauren)
I have been so incredibly busy over the past few days!! Ugh!
Just posting a youtube video! Will my food in it etc.
Adam I am so proud of you!! Well done for keeping this up as much as you have!! I feel like a failure!! LOL
I willl do it!!
<3 you gorgeous!

For Sunday (Adam)
Another sunday of poor eating. All is ok. More mindless eating. Just… because. Fajitas, tortilla chips, chocolate truffles, trail mix, candy, and more. Finished the night off at the diner where I had a massive oreo milkshake even though I was already overly stuff. Again, just… because. Meh. It is ok though! I had a fantastic night with all of my wonderful friends. Each week is...
Stillness is the Move (Adam)
AM: I love endive becauce it looks likes a little canoe. Sad. In these little canoes, I layered turkey, white cheddar, sprouts, finely diced celery, and a dressing made out of light sour scream, whole seed mustard, lime juice, and kosher salt. LATE AM: Lowfat lemon yogurt that I had freezing for a few hours. Yum! EARLY PM: Attempting to fight the urge to binge as I type this. So incredibly...
