Planning for Friday

  • Saturday am is my weigh in, and with how much weigh I have been losing this week I want to make it a GREAT weigh in, I am going to be super good tomorrow and not eat past 7 (I know that doesn't matter, but it does help the morning weigh in)

    B- smoothie type thing (1 small banana, 4 frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup skim milk, and maybe some ice cubes)
    S- 16 oz coffee, 1 tsbp vanilla toffee cream, chips ahoy thinsations
    L- smoked salmon wrap (1 whole wheat tort., 1 tsbp low fat cream cheese, 1/2 cup smoked salmon), 1 cup green grapes
    S- 2 sticks of celery with half a tsbp low fat peanut butter
    D- spicey chicken strips, carrots and maybe a baked potato (or some of) with some salsa (I am going to try and skip the baked potato)

    No exercise but will drink 6 liters of water (want to have the last one finished by 8).
  • Today may be a bit rough for me--it's my last day at my current job, so I fear I may be bombarded at some point with cake or taken out to lunch or something...we shall see. In any case, it is Friday, so it is free bagel day in the office, so I'll at least plan for:
    • glass of skim milk
    • bagel w/cream cheese
    • oatmeal (if I need it)
    • black bean chowder stuff (black beans, corn, cabbage, salsa, chili powder, chicken broth, ff cream cheese)
    • yogurt (again, only if I need it)
    • dinner will highly depend on if we go out or not--if we go to the movies, we'll likely end up at Uno's (I have a $10 off coupon they emailed me for my birthday ), but if we stay home, maybe I'll make a pizza (while-wheat Boboli crust, no-salt-added sauce, reduced-fat cheese, and possibly some turkey pepperoni)
    And of course, at least 3 liters (hopefully 4) of water and a trip up the stairs to my apartment (I wish I knew how long it might take doing this every day before this no longer makes me feel like my lungs are going to explode ).
  • I have kids to pick up from camp which throws dinner into a possible fast food grab. I'll try for
    B-pria bar
    S-ff/sf latte
    L-huge salad, 2 oz turkey ham, 1 oz cheese, grapes
    S-cut up veggies with 2 tb hummus
    D-grilled chicken sandwich, bag of cut up veggies from home,choc animal crackers
  • Last night was insane. I went way over my calories and all my nutrtion goals. I'm still paying for it--my tummy is tender. Today I am going to be way better!!

    Br: 2 slices french toast (made w/1 egg, milk, salt), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 T syrup, 1 kiwi, 1 banana, chocolate pudding
    Lu:salad (lettuce, parmesan cheese, ceaser dressing , croutons), yogurt
    Din: going to MIL house for dinner, I think we're having lasagna
  • Yesterdays D-lean grilled ribs, baked beans 1/2 cup

  • Quote: Dinner - thai chicken in coconut sauce with brown rice
    If this is something you make at home, I would LOVE the recipe!
  • Today I have to be very careful because I'm going out this evening with some friends and drinks drinks drinks, the cals add up. Plus - I know, I'm bad - I always stop by and get myself some Taco Bell on the way home. No, I don't load up on Mexican Pizzas and Taco Salads, I usually just one or two chicken soft tacos, no cheese or sauce.
  • aaand crash and burn! lunch turned out to be a salad-sounds harmless enough, right? but no...it was lettuce with a little onion, some fried chicken, and honey mustard dressing I forgot my lunch at home, so I knew I'd be eating in the cafateria, but this was seriously one of the healthies choices I could find--how sad Anyway, moving on...tomorrow is another day, and ust because lunch wasn't quite as planned doesn't mean I can automatically trash the rest of my day!
