  • Yesterday wasn't quite as perfect as planned (gave in to the chocolate temptation ), but that's OK. Today is a new day.

    B - Instant oatmeal, green tea, banana.
    s - 50g cheese and 2 graham wafers.
    L - Sandwich (whole wheat soy; chopped poached skinless chicken, 1/2 tbsp mayo, shredded carrots, 2 large lettuce leaves). Large glass of water.
    s - Plum.
    D - Carefully portioned ham baked with pineapple, scalloped potatoes and broccoli (made with skim milk).

    I'm pulling out the food scales for the cooked ham, because I know it will be a temptation to overeat. But, I have plans for the leftover ham. Most will be chopped and frozen to be added to soups and casseroles. No special plans for exercise today.
  • Breakfast - bagel (small) with jelly; 2 scrambled eggs
    Lunch - steamed broccoli and asparagus; Boca chicky nuggets

    I do not have ANY snacks here at work today. Blah. I will have to go downstairs and get something eventually for that purpose which can be bad if I am not careful and mindful. And I have no idea what is for dinner either. Probably the last of the wheat pasta...or maybe when I FINALLY stop for watermelon I will pick up a salad as well? who knows?

    Today could end up being a nightmare.

    Tonights exercise: 3 mile run; crunches
    Last nights exercise: speed work; 3.5 miles; 50 crunches
  • B- toast w/peanut butter
    s-snack bar
    L-turcky sand. WW
    s snack bar
    D-I dont know yet

    Last night I ate a hotdog...I did not eat at home so I had to eat what was there..I will try to do better today.

    work out the same for today as yesterday
  • just a thought for you JuneBug, you may want to purchase that snack "before" you get hungry. then you will plan a more healthy snack in advance instead of giving into sugary cravings.

    Today was a bannana and homemade egg mcmuffin.
    LUnch is a Lean Crusine Panini
    snack is an apple
    dinner will be pork chops and turnips
    and i probably will have to find something else to equal up to 1440. (?)
  • Morning .

    After last night's V-day dinner, today I am eating healthy! All my good intentions went to pot last night . When it came round to ordering, I opened my mouth to say "small white wine and a glass of water please" and out came "cosmopolitan please!". I swear to god someone was controlling me via a remote. Oh well!

    Today I will eat:-

    Breakfast - oatmeal, tea with milk

    Snack - cottage cheese and crackers, getting bored of this, must come up with something else

    Lunch - Undecided as yet. I did not bring anything. This could be bad. Going to aim for Chick-Fil-A grilled chicken sammich on whole wheat and side salad. We will see what happens.

    Snack - half a whole wheat bagel and cream cheese, banana

    Dinner - Venison tenderloin with cabbage

    Water - 2 liters

    Exercise - 30 mins cardio at gym followed by 45 mins circuit training w/weights followed by plonking on the sofa with dinner and Lost.
  • Well, as of today, I've given my cold the old-fashioned 10 days. I'd better get back on the cardio bandwagon.
    Update to follow!
  • It is now almost a quarter to 12 here. I'm still at the computer in my pyjamas. I have not eaten, I have not exercised. I have not done any of my ebay stuff even tho my business partner has called and we've discussed some things that need to be done. Needless to say, I haven't run my errands today either (mostly left over from the first of the week).
    And then I get this in an email ...... "All excellence involves discipline and tenacity of purpose." --John Gardner

    I believe this is what my kids call a God smack!

  • Breakfast: 1/2 C egg beaters, piece of WW toast

    That was my first taste of egg beaters and: eeeeeewwww! Its got great protien, no fat, low carb and all the vitamins. But, dang, gross! Now I know what you all are eating when you seperate the whites. I'll try sprucing it up with somthing next time.

    lunch: guacomole, celery sticks

    s. orange

    dinner: no idea. I didn't make my lentul soup yet.
  • all i can say is that i am sick to death of veggies...this isnt going to cut it today.
  • Well, last night went well. No chocolate for me! All the sweets I was given, were immediately given away to my b/f! He was a happy camper! LOL Today:
    B: 2 pieces of pot roast meat....lol, I know, odd.
    L: Salad (have to buy one, as I didn't have one packed)
    D: Who knows?!?! Whatever I feel like cooking when I get home from my late night class tonight.
  • Hey ladies, I thought to join you!!! Susan mentioned about it on one of her replies to my posts. I think it will help me to stay on plan.
    Breakfast: 4 egg whites with 1/2 tbsp ketchup with 16.9 fl oz water
    Snack: Dannon Light'n fit yogurt 16.9 fl oz water
    Lunch: Tuna noodle casserole 16.9 fl oz water
    Dinner: I am not sure but I am thinking about some leftover tuna casserole, or some salad with chicken and some more water.
    Exercise wise I am thinking about doing 30 min of elliptical, and 30 min of stair master, and some weights. And 200 crunches
  • Lunch was succesful! I fought off the urge for a philly cheesesteak w/fries and got Chick-Fil-A sammich, side salad and fruit cup. I am stuffed!

    Junebug, how about a savory snack like almonds? or pretzels?

    Hope the rest of you have a great day!
  • Change of plan for me. Instead of going to gym, I am going to take my son to the mall, and will walk around for an hour or two.
