S - medium apple
L - Grilled Salmon w/ tuscany beans & heirloom tomatoes
S - lf yogurt, cherries, raw almonds
gym - cardio, chest?
D - some kind of scallop & shrimp saute with pasta (not cream sauce, though), maybe some spinach wilted in or on the side

I actually posted in last weeks thread about my terrible weekend, though I don't know if I posted on Saturday before or after Sonic for dinner and a Frosty for dessert. Enough said about that.

Today:
E: would like to do some strength training, will likely end up with cardio after the AC guy leaves
B: think thin bar, kashi go lean, coffee
L: white turkey burger or grilled chicken salad, or maybe a smoothie
S: yogurt
D: ground white turkey over rice, broccoli
S: TJ chili spiced mango or apple with lowfat yogurt & candied walnuts

I can't even remember what I ate on which days this weekend. I will admit that one night my dinner was a grilled cheese sandwich, a hot dog, and a beer. At least it was patriotic.

S - banana
L - potato salad (lots of veggies and a vinaigrette, no mayo)
S - apple, peach
D - salad w/lf dressing, all-beef hot dog on ww bun with ketchup, pita bread w/hummus, watermelon

lg salad with turkey chili, salsa

1.5m walk -- blew it with morning run
at least 20min strength vid

biggest goal of the day-- no couch after get kids to bed!!! avoid kitchen entirely after dinner!!!

ok, daaaaam, those 1250 cals go so fast! all plotted into daily plate. I gotta look really good for a 'thing' in 10 days.

My lunch became a white turkey burger on double fiber wheat bread with lite french onion laughing cow, tomato slices and spicy black pepper salsa.

Still waiting for the AC tech...

Note to self:
Sitting at kitchen counter while watching TV and eating is the equivalent of couch TV eating.

Ate all mentioned plus edy's fruit bar which I now now has sugar as the third ingredient, after water and strawberries. Also ate yogurt and freaking nutella (now in garbage) and peanut butter.

I am thinking total calories 2400ish.

Will post tomorrow after very early am run.

[mandalinn82]

Yay on the run, KittyCat. Today? Is a new day.

For me too, actually, as I fell headfirst into a vat of frozen yogurt yesterday, replacing my lovely, low calorie fruit bar. I'd blame hormones, but I can't even blame my own (Sarah had a craving, so we went). I did put some fruit on top...but it was way more calories than I needed. I also had a minor run in with a tbsp of PB. Not my best day! I prob ended up at 1600-1700.

Planning for today:
B - Egg whites, veggies, toasted crumpet with 1 tsp blackberry jam
S - Cantaloupe
L - Leftovers - Grilled chicken, corn on the cob, salad
S - Popcorn
S - Greek yogurt w/ berries
D - Grilled chicken, polenta, broccoli
S - NSA Ice Cream, Berries

E - 60 min cardio, 60 min hardcore strength training w/ intervals.

[Shannon in ATL]

yesterday came in at about 1700, with 1080 burned in exercise, according to my HRM. I had a lot of frustration to work out after the HVAC tech left...

Today:
E: done
B: smoothie, coffee
L: turkey broccoli pita
S: string cheese, yogurt
D: either pb&j with yogurt or grilled chicken salad takeout from somewhere
S: probably more yogurt

[kittycat40]

I am back with final tally:
1356

did not have salad with chicken, had .5lb deli turkey with mustard and (whoops- bang!, just upped cals by 110 cals) about 1oz hard salami
one slice jicama
reduced fat cresent roll wrapped around hot dog pieces
.5 cup corn
yogurt covered raisons


YES, today is a new day!!!
