Hi guys! Week 10! Also 10 weeks until I go to France!!
Cammie, I don't know the answer to your question in the last thread. I'm not doing BFL per se.....I follow a nutrition plan by my trainer and just participate in the threads to keep on track. I would have a fruit w/ breakfast, though.
Today:
1/2 bagel, LC cheese, protein shake
greek yogurt, berries, walnuts
turkey sandwich on rye, salad with cc and a bit of italian dressing, olives
snack and dinner TBD
1 hr weights
post workout protein shake
Overslept and didn't weigh in....(at least that's the excuse I'm giving myself---couldn't have anything to do with the fact I ate the rest of DS's burrito last night)
So, I'm back to trying to string together 3 POP days.
Last week I got to Wed afternoon!
Today:
protein pancakes
cc/berries/walnuts
salmon, beans, veggies
turkey, plum
dinner?
will try for that bedtime protein shake again!
Exercise? Try to run at lunch. I slept in (running partner home sick ) but I also did not have my typical Sunday-no-exercise-day this week so it won't kill me to have a rest day.
Midwife, it IS extremely difficult to string 3 POP days I get to thursday night then I start craving wine with Gray's Anatomy.... My goal this week is to make it though the WHOLE weekend...
Ok, I'm going to start posting my meals on this thread if you don't mind.
Oatmeal and eggs
protein shake (which now I know I need a carb with also)
chicken, peppers and whole wheat wrap
protein shake and grapefruit
chicken, salad and zuchinni
protein shake and grapefruit
Does this sound about right? I am not weighing for a while, I am afraid with the weight lifting I am doing I will be disappointed if I get on the scales. I think that I shall just use how my clothes fit as an indication of whether this is working or not? Has anyone else found that when they started, their weight went up at first?
Mel, I am embarassed to admit that the plan looked great, but the execution was miserable---picture an Olympic gymnast running to the pommel horse with perfect form and then totally biffing it and landing on her rump and the audience gasping in unison.
New month, new day, can still string 3 POP days together!
Today:
1/2 bagel, pnb, protein shake
cc, apple
turkey sandwich, bell pepper strips
salmon, plum
salad with grilled chicken
1 hr weights
post workout protein shake
Yesterday was POP although I switched out some equivalent foods.
Great job on 2 days in a row, Ilene!
Today:
3 mile run with some sprint intervals thrown in
2 eggs, ww english muffin, sf jam
hardboiled egg, apple
pbj, protein shake (unless I can come home at lunch, then I'll have fish)
ham, string cheese, orange
dinner? ground turkey, veggies
I really need to go to the store or I'll be out of luck tomorrow. Of course there are no off-plan foods either....the cupboards are bare...whice I don't understand cause I just spent a wad last week at the store! Where does it go?
So far a less than stellar week. I did keep the format of the BFLmeals, and I did get up to exercise each day, but I had 1 meal/snack too many on each day. I won't go into details, but chocolate icecream was involved.
Todays meals:
1.yoghurt etc.
2. half sandwich
3. soup & half roll
4. 3 crackers with toppings
5. pasta & ragu sauce, butter, parmesan
6. icecream
Iene, Mel, I have a similar wine problem on thursday - sunday. I fight the urge that I have earned because i survived so much of the working week. So far, I've been a good girl this week.
Exercise: Running is going better and better, I'm now up to 4 minutes at a time, at 7 - 8 km/hr. Also altough I am 15 pounds above the red line, I do feel muscles coming up below the fat layer. I want to be a hardbody old lady when I'm 60 in 10 years!

So, could it be those ever-present scavengers, er, um children?
