Good morning, everyone! Hope everyone's weekend went well. I finished my week of calorie cycling with an average of 1785 calories per day, and my goal was 1800, so I am right on track! Of course, the weekends are my "high" days, so I had Subway and Arby's and smoothies and whatnot, so I'll not go on about it here, but now it's Monday (a "low" day for me), so here's my plan:
1 cup granola cereal w/1 cup skim milk
Campbell's chicken n' stars "soup at hand"
2 small wraps (La Tortilla whole wheat tortillas, ff sour cream, raw spinach, and sliced turkey breast)
leftover whole wheat pasta (the spiral shape--I forget what it's called ) with homemade sauce (no-salt-added tomato sauce, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, turkey sausage, and frozen chopped spinach smoothed out in my Magic Bullet and mixed in--sssh, don't tell Jeff it's healthy! ) and about 1/4 cup of Italian mixed shredded cheese
Total for the day per Fitday: 1062 (that's a lot of yummy food for only 1062--I double-checked my Fitday to be sure )
wow, jilly, that is a lot of food for that many calories! good job.
Here's my plan for today:
2 pieces wheat toast with peanut butter
1.5 c minestrone soup
3 cups mixed greens salad (no dressing - I use the juice from the tomatoes for the dressing)
2 small turkey and cheese wraps from Subway (only 230 cals each!)
1 small bag of baked lays
fitday total: 1118
I really want to be at 285 by Valentine's Day (that is, the Wednesday morning weigh in after V-Day - that would be so awesome!)
Breakfast: McD's Fruit and yogurt parfait
Snack: Krispy Kreme donut (silly coworker, bringing them in hot!)
Lunch: Healthy Choice sweet and sour chicken
Snack: 1 cup pineapple, 1 oz cheese
Dinner: Shrimp creole over brown rice
Exercise: 37 minutes on the exercise bike, 20 minutes weight lifting
Calories: About 1300
I'm still struggling with my knee, I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. I saw PT yesterday, he said that I may need some "procedure". Too bad I almost needed oxygen when he said it. I'm trying not to get upset, I have to wait to see what the doctor says. Wish me luck!
Here'e my food from yesterday...
2 - coffee
1 - egg whites
3 - luna bar
5 - zone bar
2 - coffee
3 - chocolate
1 - 1 pt cake
6 - lc chicken
0 - sugar snap peas 2 - pudding
25 points (out of 26)
1 piece wheat toast with PB for breakfast
2 pieces toast with small turkey burger patty for lunch
turkey wrap with side salad for dinner
and TONS of water!
Ugh. Totally emotional eating from being semi-depressed, plus TOM cravings. Talk about unhealthy choices! I can console myself with the knowledge that in the past, unhealthy eating days were even more unhealthy, though. And it's only twice this month my calories have gone over 2000. And my average is still okay for the week.
Resolution: Better nutrition tomorrow! Even if I eat as many calories. Better nutrition.
Breakfast: Raisin bran and 2% milk
Lunch: Quarter pound cheeseburger and small fries (about 3 oz)
Snack: Jelly beans (1 oz) and whopping big fries (about 8.5 oz)
Dinner: Nothing (stuffed from the french fries)
Rabid--good for you on only going over 2000 twice all month! I go over 2000 at least twice a week on a regular basis
As for me, I successfully avoided all candy yesterday even when I went to the grocery store after work. I bought some frozen egg rolls to go with the instant lo mein I made for dinner, so I had 2 vegetable ones last night, which brought my calories for the day up to 1204 (I also added regular mayo to my burger at lunch, so that bumped me up a little, too--darn those condiments!)...overall, a good day
As for today, I'm planning on having:
yogurt
Boca burger on wheat bun w/Miracle Whip
Healthy Choice smoked sausage w/2 more veggie egg rolls
That's only 840 calories, so I'll be sure to come back and add anything else I have later
ugh - after totally screwing up yesterday with pizza and chocolate, I am back on track today and back to my roughly 1400 calorie lifestyle!
Today:
.5 cup of scrambled eggs
4 strips of bacon
5 oz tuna steak with 1/4 c of avocado and tomato relish
1.5 c green beans
Turkey Burger Wrap from Ruby Tuesdays
side caesar salad
1/2 brownie
and of course over a gallon of water
total of 1250 calories!!
