And....were the chicken tenders today fried, baked or grilled? I need the specs on that please!!

go buy those veggies!!!!!!!

yeah I know I have to go buy some. Probably tonight for tomorrow's low carb day.

Yes the rice was brown long grain. Got a huge bag at costco and made it in the steamer.

Chicken Tenders = Skinless chicken breast tenders. Costco 3lb bag. 1 serving = 3 tenders
1 serving = 120cals 0 carbs, 25g protein, and if I remember right no fat. I grill them either on the forman grill or thing grinlling thingy I got at the fair.

what are the other options? dvlmn.....i need the whole story. what happened with work?

your not that far from san diego are ya?

Well here's the story. After the 4th I got home and my roommate tells me he's moving back to wisconson. Well I can't afford the place and don't know of anybody who would take the room so now I have to move. Up here rents are outrageous, an ok 1 bedroom right now is going for 1000-1500. Even studios are 750-1000.

Job wise this company is jacked but I already have another job lined up for after this one closes if it doesn't make it. However my pay there will be the same.

I've always wanted to move to San Diego, and well this is kind of a chance. Since a bunch of friends down there said i could stay with them until I got a job and place this may be the opportunity to move.

so options are basically.
1. Find a place here and barely squeek by but have a job
2. move to San Diego and find a job, but there living is more affordable.

i can't decide, but this other company makes me feel like i'm taking about a 3 yr step back in my life working for them to.

Any advice would totally be apreciated from everybody please.

oh yeah FG and P i forgot about fade and butterfly. Guess tehre are more texans on the board than I realized.

 

[dvlmn666]

But the diet is going good. The cravings have calmed down so not cheating hasn't been as much of a problem to deal with, they were really bad last week.

and your right NG, I'm sure by this time next week it'll be much much better. Thanks for the support.

i hear ya on the rents. that's how i ended up where i am now. the "valley" where i had been living reached a point where an average sorta small nothing special one bedroom was $950. nice ones $1200-$1400. pretty depressing.

so - i'm 60 miles north and love my apartment with a washer and dryer and it's much cheaper - 2 bdr for $700 and it's really nice. but the town sucks. messed up place.....

squeeking by is no fun & change is good! go for it! i had no idea san diego was reasonably affordable. it's a great place - i love it there!

wow, now that's a crazy commute. But hey I can afford half yoru rent, ya need a roommate? sorry to hear the town sucks though.

yeah, my friends down there have shown me places that for like 800/month, and are like the 1500-1600 ones here. They are really nice and nice area.

i'm jealous, I've never gotten to have a washer/dryer in my apartment.

If I do move you'll have to come down sometime. Mission Beach is my favorite to go and just relax, that's were I got my tattoo as well.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr i'm hungry for steak, but don't have a grill. And would go out for one, but I'm not gonna pay for all the other stuff and not eat it.

Maybe have to look for some beef jerkey instead.

 

[irontime]

Man that sucks to be you, I've got a nice fat ass T-bone thawing out right now for dinner, mmmmmm can't wait to finish my workout and barbeque that bitch up

How's it going pal? seen your pics and the stomachs, coming along great , keep it up

 

[dvlmn666]

thanks dude, how's it goin? How's the summer goin?

and after this new diet you'll be down a case of beer, which I'll need by then. lol

 

[irontime]

hehehe, I don't know pal, I've been alcohol free for the majority of the summer, done a lot of cardio and I lost 15 pounds, My stomach has never looked better so I'll be looking forward to that nice cold beer, ah shit, I shouldn't have said that. I still have another three weeks to go before I'm allowed to drink and now I feel like a beer, damnit

Other than that, summer is goin allright. It's going really fast now and I only have a little over a month till I get back to college can't wait

My arms, stomach and legs are making awesome gains, but the torn ligament in my chest has shot my bench press down to hell, ah well I'll get back up there, so what's new with you?

 

[dvlmn666]

just workin. Might be moving to San Diego the end of next month. So might have to wait til I can get back online to see who gets the beer.

Awesome on the 15lbs and gains. The chest will come around in time again. Just make sure you let it heal completely.

hmmmm beer. not for me til after this diet is over. lol

[dvlmn666]

actually yeah princess, the canned chicken is so much better than tuna. It's more expensive though. But a friend told me to try it, and they had it on sale at costco. Tastes really good.

thanks about he diet, **blushing**

 

[Stacey]

hmmm?? good to know! Thanks!
awwwwww I Made ya blush!! cool!

 

[Twin Peak]

Looking good so far DV! BUT WHERE THE HELL ARE THE VEGGIES??? Common man, you need that ruffage! Also, break up the rice, use some other carbs to -- potatoes and better yet oatmeal. Mix your vanilla isopure in oatmeal, I actually like it. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter on occassion and yum!

Can I comment on the workouts? You rely too much on smith and hammer machines. Do more free weights! If its b/c you don't have a spotter, ask someone on your real heavy sets! You can always do arms with freeweights! Back too. Etc.

Keep up the good work!
