RE: AF Biggest Loser/Fitness Challenge-May 3 to Whenever We're Not Fat Anymore

Hey! Can I get on board this one as well?
I'm consistently doing my daily commute using the bike's 6th gear... Sometimes, I manage the 7th.... There were 2 days that I made it with the 8th and last, but I think the wind was helping me.
My goal remains the same: to build up some strength in these legs so I can systematically ride the most of the way on the bike's maximum gear - can't go any faster than that!
As for snacks, I usually get a 750g pack of plain Cashews and munch some down.... or a pack of carrot batons, these are fresh and crunchy and very tasty.
But I also succumb to temptation - there's a store here that has a whole shelf dedicated to peanut-butter chocolates and, when I go there, I always leave with a few: either Lion, M&Ms, KitKat, or whatnot... or all of the above. Luckily, I then space them out during the week as I easily get fed up of chocolate. My last treat was Oreo Ice Cream, a pack of 4 cones... Still have 2 left.
I also get these neat crackers with poppy and sesame seeds (they have them on Waitrose and Tesco, so maybe you can also find them in the US).
For lunch I avoid potatoes, rice or pasta.... just meat/fish and salad... and dessert (the one damn thing that's consistently good in that cafeteria - one has to take advantage!)
Dinner doesn't get dessert, so it gets rice or pasta.... sometimes fries or chips/crisps.
Drinks... drinks.... I'm mostly a water guy. I'll go for a coke or some juice in a social setting... but otherwise, tap water will do fine. Actually.... besides those I mentioned, there isn't much else I do willingly drink.
