• When it comes to me and the BFL plan (now that I’ve been back on track for a week after the fun food poisoning incident…):
  My Likes: Cardio intervals. Less time working out. Eating more protein. Eating better breakfasts. Getting to still have coffee (speaking of which, I should get that going…). Different recipes (protein pudding, whole wheat blueberry pancakes made with yogurt, protein mix w/soymilk over Shredded Wheat, etc). The ease of snacks (protein bars and shakes). Working out in the morning. Biking on my new Trek.
  My Dislikes: Lifting weights (for some reason, it seems like it takes forever compared to the cardio). Eating even when my stomach is upset or bloated (I like to just eat when I can feel hunger about to attack me). Cottage cheese. Dairy issues. Those random BFLers who are uber strict. Planning ahead food-wise and exercise-wise.
  
  I’m a modifier. Always will be. I modify everything. After almost 4weeks trying out BFL, I feel like I can incorporate the cardio intervals everyday into my regular lifestyle, as well as the eating of more protein. I almost think I may lean more towards eating more protein in general (almost Atkins-ish) instead of worrying about taking in six mini-meals a day. I’ve already noticed a change in my stomach (the inside, of course) when I simply have a protein-based snack. My stomach gets upset easily; protein is rarely the culprit, so it works well. I’ve learned that it’s about burning off fat in the morning with cardio, building up those muscles (so everything burns easier and faster) with weight-lifting, and then eating well too. I’ve tried Atkins before (without this sort of exercise plan), and it still worked well.

  Alrighty then… breakfast and then the wrapping up of the last assignments in order to “hand in” my summer school grades via PeopleSoft today.
