Hey Amanda - I think your new dog is adorable! She looks so lovey.

Sunday was Day 14 POP.

B - 1/2 cup oatmeal 2 spoons of apple butter

L - beef stew with apples

S - grande coffee with a splash of fat free milk

S - giant cameo apple

D - went to Claim Jumpers. Had the BBQ salad with the ranch/BBQ on the side. Pulled off all the tortilla strips (they were greasy and unappetizing anyway).

Monday

B - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 spoons apple butter

S - big salad with romaine, red cabbage, carrot shreddies, 100 calories of cubed ham, grape tomatoes, 2 tbs lt dijon dressing (60 calories), a small amount of spicy wantons for crunch (35 calories)

S - 3 clementines

S - cheese string

D - *edit* we ended up going to Benihana's. I was excellent! I ate the bowl of broth, the salad and then had the "salmon in a bag" entree (the only thing safe from the spoons of garlic butter that get put on everything else). I didn't touch the fried rice, shrimp appetizer, buttery onions/zuchini or have the ice cream! This was a toughie.

Thanks to salmon in a bag, day 15 POP was in the bag!

Wednesday

B - 1/2 package of blackberries, Trader Joe's fat free Greek yogurt with honey (120 calories). Going to take it with me to the conference and eat breakfast at my regular time. That way, I wont be tempted by the conference food like yesterday (even if it was fruit)

D - going out to dinner again with J's aunt. I've been going out to dinner a LOT this week and I'm pleased I've managed to stay on plan. Hopefully, we'll go someplace where I can get salad!

*edit*went to Old Spaghetti Factory. I had the minestrone soup (60 calories) and the spinach cheese ravioli (480 calories - I left 3). Dinner came with free dessert, but I passed on the ice cream and had a cup of coffee with one little container of half and half. Did not touch the bread although it smelled wonderful, consider the day POP!

I am pretty much in love with this dog. Unfortunately, that (well, really that my meeting schedule was insane yesterday, and she has to be locked out of room while I exercise and otherwise would have been alone all day) prevented me from lifting yesterday. Added some extra cardio so it was a total of 60 min on the incline trainer and about 60 walking her. Food was OP though (another side effect of new dog PLUS the crazy insane workweek...no time to eat. i am working on that part, because I am getting a little too hungry at meals).

Plan for today:
B - crumpet, egg whites scrambled with broccoli and a pinch of cheddar
S - grapes
L - Leftover white bean and sausage soup
S - popcorn
S - Hummus and veggies
D - Lamb skewer, butternut squash soup, sauteed cabbage
S - protein shake smoothie

E - 60 min walking dog, 60 min incline trainer, possibly some ab work during meetings

Thwarted again with my attempt to cook my chicken last night. MIL came by and gave us a big, still warm, pot of cabbage meatball soup. That chicken is SO getting cooked tonight!

Amanda, we struggled to get exercise in when we first got our dog too, since we had to stop going to the gym after work. I don't remember if you run or not, but running with the dog is a great way to get you AND her exercise! My dog loves when we go for runs, because while I'm running he's just going at an easy trot, which is his preferred speed.

Thursday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, cranberry butter, skim milk
L - leftover ziti w/veg
S - apple
D - chicken with apple cider and prunes, rice, and broccoli
E - NRLW S5W4B

I definitely want her to run with me, eventually. Right now, she's a little unconfident (very submissive dog, we're working on her confidence), so she'd be hard to run with if she got scared. Once she's walking well, we're going to work on running - it's definitely part of the plan!!

Plus, replacing 75 min of cardio with 60 min of hardcore cardio, plus 60-80 minutes of dog walking (45 in the morning, half an hour or so at night) can't be that bad, right? Even if it's not a fast walk, it is getting out there and getting moving. Lifting may move to next week, just to take things slowly.

Yesterday was POP.

B - Egg whites, broccoli, sprinkle of cheddar, toasted english muffin w/ a tsp of apple butter
S - Veggies and hummus
L - Leftovers: Butternut squash soup, grilled lamb skewer, sauteed cabbage
S - Popcorn
D - FiberGourmet pasta bake w/ chicken, veggies, garlic "cream" sauce, topped with whole wheat panko and parmesan
S - Strawberry chocolate protein shake

E - 60 min incline trainer, 75 min dogwalking.

My weekend was pretty much a disaster, as was the end of the week last week. Most of what I ate was okay, when I looked back a few minutes ago there was really very little junky snack food over the last four days other than a cookie (65 cals), a dark chocolate square (45 cals) and a mini chocolate dipped granola bar (80 cals), so I can only chalk up 190 calories of my extra to that. I had some popcorn (cooked very lightly, about 150 cals) & chicken fingers (my indulgence meal) on Sunday, so that was the only real junky meal the whole week. The rest of the overage came from food I have on my good list - yogurt w/ fruit, whole grain mini bagel, bananas, things like that. Even when it is healthy food it is still eating calories over maintenance...

Today:
B: kashi go lean w/ berries, banana & skim, coffee
S: biscuit
L: sandwich with DSS, either roasted chicken or pb&j, probably strawberries as a side item
S: yogurt
D: ground chicken breast w/ peppers over rice
S: yogurt if I didn't have it in the afternoon, or maybe just tea
E: planning a run at the park after DSS's mom picks him up at around 4:30, then have to do some serious cleaning for Thursday...

OK - this weekend was good, but last night I had two glasses of wine, which negatively impacted my scale this morning. I also am seriously having shoulder pain, due to wrenching it while trying to drive with dog in car...yeah, it's shooting down to my fingers. With that said, here's the plan for today:

B - WW LC Tortilla, peanut butter, apple slices
S - Pomegranate
L - Leftover beef stew w/ potatoes, carrots, and celery

L - big salad with some absolutely beautiful pomegranate seeds, 3 tbs chopped pecans, greens, carrot shreddies, grilled chicken, 2 tbs dressing

S - cheese string

D - more salad! I liked that ham salad I had for lunch last week so much, I thought Jason would like it for dinner. So: romaine, ham, grape tomatoes, red cabbage, red onions, carrot shreddies, crunchy wontons and 2 tbs lite Honey Dijon dressing.

*Update* was starving last night (very strange for me) so I had a piece of whole grain toast with peanut butter.

S - 3 clementines

S - cheese string

D - went to Panera and had half a turkey sandwich on whole grains and a cup of tomato soup (with croutons).

I wasn't POP yesterday - I had a big handful of cashews before dinner and then ate some of Jason's bread at Panera. Between the cashews last night and the peanut butter toast craving the night before, I guess I've been overdoing it on low cal/low fat and my body is telling me what it needs.

Going to try to be POP today because tomorrow will be the opposite universe from POP.

Yesterday - NOT POP. Friend's Master's thesis was accepted, so we celebrated with drinks (a glass of champagne) and mud pie (her favorite dessert...I had a smallish slice). This replaced dessert but was a higher-cal indulgence. Still, I chose to have it to celebrate her 3 years of work, and I'm fine with it (but wish it hadn't been Thanksgiving week)
