No Excuses! Food and Exercise Accountability 4/20 - 4/26
New week, new thread, and boy do I need it!
Monday:
B - raisin bran, three strawberries, skim milk
S - banana
L - spaghetti w/sauce
S - asian chicken slaw, popcorn, yogurt
D - leftovers from cheesecake factory
S - tiny piece of leftover cheesecake
E - none, recovering from yesterday still
and today is the LAST day that I am going to eat unhealthy leaftovers because they will be GONE.
Oh yeah, food planning, right. I tried to do some food prep yesterday but got distracted by assembling my new kitchen cart that I just bought (much needed storage space for my small kitchen) and didn't... will do it tonight though.
Monday's plan:
B - Publix breakfast bread, skim milk, coffee
S - banana
L - Kashi frozen entree
S - small apple, almonds, lowfat yogurt
gym - umm... oh what the heck am I doing at the gym now? Lol... cardio and I'll figure out what body part to work...
D - pork fajita casserole thingy from "clean eating" magazine, green beans
I've hit a 3 year high and I know it wasn't the enchiladas last night. The serving size is 2 and I only had 1. My pants are tight and this is just ridiculous.
E~30 minutes treadmill
B~grapefruit, cheese stick
S~hard boiled egg
L~leftover marinated salad (jicama, zucchini, tomatoes, black beans, green onions, salsa, lime juice served over Romaine), small apple
S~yogurt
S~2 slices turkey with LC cheese
D~not sure yet. Probably something chicken. I may need to go to the store for some more lettuce for a salad or some veggies. I seem to be lacking veggies for some reason. I sure thought I bought enough Saturday, but they all got chopped up and and put in salads and enchiladas!
I'm new to this...so here goes...
Okay Monday plan
b- 1 cup white tea/1 sm bowl of coco puffs.."I know"/1 bottle of water
s- 2 cups steamed broccoli
l- sm salad w/broiled egg, tomatoes, cucumber, mushrooms and 1 tbsp of light ranch dressing.
s- 1 grapple and 1 slice of cantelope
d- lean cuisine " shrimp scampi with pasta and a coke zero
s- quacker mint chocolate rice cakes (90 calorie mini pack) 1 cup of milk
The weekend was a little out of control for me with food, well, specifically ice cream on Saturday and a bowl of mixed nuts next to me all afternoon and birthday cake on Sunday, so back OP today.
Today:
Exercise - going to beat out some frustration on my weight bag when I get home along with some swiss ball work. Will do some Weider exercises if the blister on my hand hasn't popped. Maybe finish with some cardio. Depends on how much I calm down during the day, or if I stay ticked off about this accountant search.
B: smoothie,
S: pb&j (why have I gotten stuck on pb&j for snack lately? that has to change...)
L: grilled chicken salad
S: fresh broccoli
S: fat free yogurt - not my favorite flavor, one of DH's, but it is about to expire and I'm too cheap to let it go bad without anyone eating it...
S: Kashi Go Lean
D: turkey sausage with veggies over rice
S: skinny cow
WOW. Reading that I even sound irritable listing a menu. I have to loosen up today...
ETA: loosening up was a failuere... led to chicken fingers for lunch instead of my planned salad, and while they I only had 3 and they weren't really terrible calorie wise, now my tongue feels like an oil slick... And, DHs buddy is swearing AGAIN that he is coming over to hang tonight, after standing him up again last night. Everytime he says he is coming I reschedule my afternoon to get dinner done early, with the plan to exercise while he & DH hang out. He no shows and DH wants to hang with me then, so no exercise. I just put my foot down and said I'm exercising whether buddy shows or not - DH can hang by himself and listen to music after dinner if he gets stood up, I can't fill in the gap again... whiney rant over!

This weekend was crazy hard, and I ate too much and generally feel sluggish. Eating more...does not...help!
Plan for today:
B - English muffin w/ one egg, 1 slice deli ham
L - Salad greens w/ tuna, radishes, greens, cucumber, honey mustard dressing. Basically using up all of our leftover veggies with a can of tuna.
S - Muscle milk lite smoothie w/ frozen strawberries
D - Salad from deli while grocery shopping - Greens, kidney beans, grilled chicken, broccoli, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and some croutons.
S - NSA Ice Cream Bar
My idea of chicken for dinner last night turned into a burger. This time I ate it with the bun because last week when I went bunless I was so hungry that I ended up eating ice cream. Not a good substitution for a bun!
E~30 minutes treadmill
B~grapefruit, 2 lowfat cheese sticks
S~hard boiled egg
L~leftover seafood enchiladas, small apple
S~yogurt
S~2 slices turkey with LC cheese
D~chicken tonight--grilled lemon chicken with a salad

B - raisin bran, strawberries, skim milk (but I actually measured out a serving today)
S - banana, stick of gum
L - Amy's brown rice veggie bowl
S - popcorn 100 cal pack
D - chicken tamale casserole, glass of wine
E - none, it was raining again

S: chocolate milk after run if I'm dying when I get home and try to cook

Yesterday - OP. Today - on track. Which is good, because the scale is NOT pleased with my week of family stuff and overeating. I know that during times of grief, it really isn't top priority and I get that, but I hate that my body can take a week of "not being super careful" and turn it into 5 lbs. And that's AFTER dropping 4 of water weight.
