No bites/licks/nibbles. Just one "spoon, taste" none!!!!!
Day three already set out.
Tomorrow is my sons birthday and I'm making spaghetti and veggie pasta sauce for dinner with baby carrots (his pick) and then we are going out for ice cream. I have planned to eat a lower calorie yummy granola bar during that time.
Day two complete! I totally kicked @$$ during my 5 mile run and felt like a million bucks. After my shower I had a huge salad with turkey breast and egg whites as the protein and tons of spinach. I've never enjoyed salads before! I always thought they were gross and un-filling but I realize I was doing them all wrong!
I had my on plan breakfast and have my healthy food packed for work!
Todays workout will be a 3 mile run and p90x for weight lifting. I'm always feeling stressed/overwhelmed after work, and used to make excuses for why i 'couldn't' work out. But now Im not giving myself any other options. When I first started my journey last august I would get up before work at 345am and exercise. Now I make a deal with myself that if I want to be able to sleep in (til 5am wooo) then I will do my workouts after work.
I'm glad to see so many reports of good days yesterday. My yesterday was stressful, but still POP.
Today:
Breakfast: 1.5 servings rice chex, egg beaters with FF cheese, light yogurt, light soymilk - 385 cal.
Snack: Luna Mini bar - 80 cal.
Lunch: PBJ on a whole grain sandwich thin, baby carrots, and an apple - 456 cal.
Snack: more watermelon - yum! - 113 cal.
Planned:
Dinner: out to dinner - soft shell crab, shrimp, mixed vegetables, 1/2 serving jasmine rice, a bit of french bread, about 2 bites of hubbie's creme brulee - 842
Total cal. - 1876
I'm going to have another crazy day - end of the school year always is, but I can do it - 3 more days.
I hope everyone has a wonderfully POP day.

Day 1 wasn't fantastic but it was acceptable. Still dealing with little sleep and the sick kid but at least I was able to cook and prep so the next few days should be a little bit easier for me to be more on auto pilot. The less I have to think about, the easier it is to stay on plan!!
I had been doing really well. Got very consistent about tracking my calories and then thing went to ****, and I need to get back on track. I keep "saying" that I will, but I don't. So maybe a little accountability will help me out. I am keeping my calories fairly high 2000-2500. I will lose in that range and it's the consistency that really matters right now.
Breakfast:
20 oz green tea
Slice of bread w/ 1 Tbsp peanut butter (170 cals)
Snack: Granola Bar (90 cals)
Doing really well with my food plan. Still not getting a good handle on the exercise and water. Today, I'll drink 64 oz of water and walk for an hour. I must do this. I need to get off some serious inches quickly!
Day two was on plan.
Lunch was a spinach salad, two eggs and a slice of rye toast
Dinner was more spinach salad and grilled chicken breast
Evening snack was strawberries and grapes and a slice of toast with peanut butter
I also did an hour of hot yoga.
My plan today is to do another hot yoga session, maybe try to get a run in too...and keep on plan.
Day one was pretty good (not perfect choices, but okay) and day two is off to a good start.
Eaten
Breakfast: Low Sugar Oatmeal with diced apples
Planned
Snack: Medium orange
Lunch: 5 oz. Salsa chicken, sliced zuchinni and green peppers w/ 1/2 cup brown rice
Snack: 1/2 serving reduced fat triscuits and apple slices
Dinner: 5 oz. Grilled Chicken, zuchinni and corn on the cob
Snack: Two tablespoons frozen yogurt
First day went OK for me, not perfect. It is TOM, and I always want to eat more. grrr! Had a Fiber One bar that was not planned, and went to Subway for lunch instead of my planned salad.
On to Day #2
Here is my food plan for today.
- high fiber hot cereal with 1/4 tsp olive oil, Source vanilla yogurt (sf, ff) and blueberries
- salad with chicken
- banana
- strawberries with Source dessert yogurt
- leftover meatloaf, noodles, broccoli
- 100 calorie snack
You all are doing good!
My oral surgery went well yesterday and I feel pretty good today.
I have my 2000 calories planned (remember I am breastfeeding and weigh more than lots of you) and I feel optimistic that they will be good filling foods.
No exercise for a week for me though due to dentist orders. Something about not wanting too much blood flow to the area but I think Saturday and Sunday I will aim for at least 1 mile walk those days.
Day 1 went as planned. Didn't sleep great last night, but I feel good this morning after my bike commute to work. Today's food is completely planned. I had the most delicious mango at my after-bike breakfast! Mangoes make me happy, they are so sunny and sweet. Our house is burgeoning with fresh fruit and veggies, actually; so much stuff is cheap and in season right now, it's just delightful. Tonight my son graduates from 8th grade, so the evening will be hectic, but there is already leftover steak and yam in the fridge for me to eat before we go to the ceremony, so that's all handled.
B'fast this morning was raisin bran - I used to like it, but now it seems like it is just full of sugar and overbalances any fiber benefit. Tomorrow I think it might be coddled eggs on toast or something like that.
For snacks I have apple, mozz stick, kind bar, or yogurt for options.
Lunch is salad and chicken (I made it last night at the same time as my dinner).
Planned workout is some combination of strength training (upper body) and either stationary bike or pool. I'd like to go to the pool, actually, if time permits.
everyone.
