K so only a fraction of my message got posted just now :P I want to go but I would need a ride from someone. Are you, or do you know of who's driving up there and would be going for just the day rather than overnight?

Not sure yet :S. Was going to pursue a CA designation but I took one accounting class and it was the most boring thing ever. I'm thinking marketing might be fun though. How's the exercising going?

Yes, I'm back to school in September. You? By the way, what's your business major?

Fresh local wild (Alaska/Pacific) salmon is a better choice than farmed because it has greater nutritional value and less toxins. I've also read that salmon has much less mercury than other fish.

My parents are from a Pacific Island too (one of the islands in the Philippines) and I grew up in California eating a fair amount of seafood. When we lived in Alaska for a few years, we fished for salmon in the summertime.

o add to what Tom said, I would have to say that if you are going to eat fish, try choosing wild Alaskan/Pacific salmon. You're in the same area of the world as me, and it is rather plentiful here. The web page below outlines the differences between wild and farmed salmon.

Hello, I saw you commented on Aurible's page about using the traineo food guide. You may want to look at some other food guides to compare advice, the one here is very basic. For instance, it says tuna and other large fish are a good source of protein (which they are) but neglects to mention that due to pollution these days must larger fish have so much mercury in them you can hurt yourself be eating too much of it. A lot of dietitians suggest eating fish at most once a week for that reason.

Basically, if you just care about protein, fat, and carb counts, the charts are OK, but there's a lot more to healthy eating than than.

Andrew,

I'm taking a fitness class that's 5 days a week for an hour. It's three days of cardio (learning punching, kicking, kali stick work, circuit training, etc.) and 2 days of strength training with resistance bands and doing lots of ab, thigh, glut, and core strength work, etc. The workout burns lots of calories, so if you're looking for a really effective workout, kickboxing might be something to look into.

I aim for about 1300-1350 calories per day. I am eating 3 meals (around 300 calories each) and 2-3 snacks a day (a total of around 400 calories), which keeps me from being hungry. And I'm drinking lots of water!

If you wanted to try something like that, you'd have to make sure you eat more (since you're a guy). I'd be happy to share my daily menus, if you need some hints. Right now, my foods include carrots, lettuce, spinach, various types of beans, salmon, low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat yogurt, nuts, oatmeal, cereal, rice milk, flax seed oil, brussel sprouts, apples, bananas, cherries, dried raisins and berries, boiled eggs, cheese, whole wheat bread, vegetable and bean soups, and some other stuff. The menu planning is taking up a lot of time, unfortunately, and I do carry lots of containers of food with me.

Looks like you're doing pretty well towards losing your freshman weight gain... and on track to lose it before the next school year. Pretty awesome. What else are you doing this summer?
June 30, 2007
I go to SFU. What about you?

Hey, what kind of cardio and strength training do you do currently? I tried messaing earlier but I don't think it went through. Said some kind of "error" thing on the msg box.

RUN BIATCH!

Traineo needs to integrate into facebook. And facebook needs to get wider than 800x600.
