Cranberry bread? Yum!

Oh wait ... I'm supposed to be planning.

Today is upper body day for me ... chest and triceps methinks.

And I think I'll have 5 or 6 mini-meals that are a combination of a good carb and a lean protein. I'll have to rifle thru the kitchen to think about that. I'm not sure what I have kicking around.

I love your planning thread...since I'm new I've been looking at the various diet plans and don't know if I can dedicate myself to one program (fat smash, WW, etc.), so I love seeing what others menus are for the day! That will help me plan ahead, copy your menu and try it myself the next day or maybe read your posts for a week and go shopping for next week
Do you follow a "plan", or just counting calories?
Thanks!

The nice thing about this thread is that almost everyone who posts here is doing something different.
I steal meal ideas, recipes and inspiration all the time

OK, I think I've got it.

My shake this morning is coffee flavoured.
I have chicken thighs, deli turkey and must buy cottage cheese.
The good carbs are protein pancakes, brown rice and ww crackers.
And of course at least one huge green salad.

I'll let you know how they pair up as the day progresses.

B - Shredded wheat, cc, berries, wheatgerm, walnuts, skimmed milk

S - apple and cc. (Off plan was a date and walnut 'Eat Natural' bar. Never again. Too much glucose syrup and honey. There's no point in going off plan then, is there? I was taken in by dates and walnuts and did not get my glasses out of my pocket to check the ingredients )

D - lentil and bacon soup, w/w bread, banana

S - apple, cc

T - lentils, brown rice, spinach (this meal will test the theory that fenugreek makes my feet warm up)

You can tell that the Man and I are working flat out with little space for thought or imagination. for self and him.

Oooh I like those Eat Natural bars - but at nearly 300kcals a pop, I'd rather have a Mars Bar

Oh yeah and silverbirch - cottage cheese and shredded wheat??? What is up with you girl?

2B thin - I am basically calorie counting, but I'm not particularly strict. I aim for a range, somewhere between 1400 and 2000 depending on the day. I also try to eat LOTS of lean protein at every meal/snack, hardly any packaged goods (like cakes, crisps, processed meals, cookies etc) and plenty of fruit and veggies. I must start trying to get more veggies in - I seem to be slipping this week!

Wow...usually by the time I log in to do planning, hardly anyone's posted. Yay!

My turn!

B - 1 cup grapes
1 apple
1 cup skim milk

L - 1/4 cup brown rice + roasted/steamed beans
1 8 oz container ff yogie
1 banana

D - You know I'm really hesitant to put something down. I always aim high (in terms of eating less and fewer calories) and then I go home and eat anything but. Then I feel like I lied on this thread. I'm not going to put anything down from now on.

Whoever is still reading... yesterday I said I would have some cucumber, 1/4 cup white rice + veggies. I had: a) small bowl of spaghetti, b) 1/2 cup fried peas, c) 3 chinese spinach buns and d) a slice of mixed berry pie

Yeah. And I wonder whyyyyy I'm not losing weight. SIGH.

Exercise: Finished 4 miles - briskly walked. Want to do some Pilates tonight.

Whew, I'm checking in late today--and it's been busy (yay!)!

I didn't do so hot yesterday. I only had sausage for breakfast and then nothing else all day long until dinner, so by then I was STARVING, and we went out to a place that has my favorite dinner entree salad. Well, the salad was fabulous, but add to that the egg roll appetizer, the bread, and the apple pie dessert we split, and it wasn't such a hot total for my calorie count

On to today...
  • 2 packets reduced-sugar instant oatmeal
  • 2 cups red pepper and tomato soup w/organic croutons
  • Lean Cuisine - honey dijon chicken
  • chicken breast and couscous
I'm already on my second liter of water, so 3+ shouldn't be a problem at all. I passed up the exercise this morning for more sleep time (went to bed late last night) and planned to go for a walk after work instead, but then I got to work and was reminded that we have a "team building" event today at 3pm, so I'll be home from work pretty late. My goal will be to avoid ALL food at the team building event and not eat dinner until I get home and can cook it myself!
