Planning Ahead! 9/25
 

I have laid out most of my eating this week. thought I would start this tread and post my plan and then how well I did!

Monday-

Breakfast- Reduced Sugar Apples and Cinnamon Oatmeal
Fruit Salad (just fruit no dressing or anything)
Snack- Yoplait Fat Free Banana and Strawberry Yogurt
Lunch- Lean Cuisine (not sure which one)
Snack- 100 Calorie bag of Popcorn
Dinner- ??
(its my birthday- I know that DH will take me out-- planning on having some broiled fish of some kind) No Birthday cake though! had that this weekend!

I love planning ahead. It's really the best thing for me!

Let's see... Tomorrow I'm on track for:
-40 mins. strength training (PUSH dvd)
-either 30 or 60 mins. walking, depending on if I feel like walking both ways to campus

food-wise, which is the more important thing:
B: 1c Kashi Go lean crunch with 1/2 c 1% milk, 1/2 banana
S: (if needed) pretzels and laughing cow light wedge
L: probably do my regular packed lunch: handful baby carrots, 1/4 c homemade hummus, 2 slices of wasa crispbread, ff yogurt, apple
S: 1/2 c cottage cheese and a plum
D: lean pork chop (not sure how i'll cook it yet), broccoli, roasted potato, small salad with ff dressing, a lemon ice cup for dessert

I don't anticipate getting up very early, so I think breakfast and lunch will be relatively near each other. hence the possibility of a lack of a snack between the meals. that's been happening a lot lately... such is my current schedule.

FitDay puts that at 1335 cals (without the mid-morning snack which I don't think I'll need) :)

Great thread, think it should be a permanent thing!

B: Coffee
S: Cereal w lf Milk
L: FF Turk Sand and WW Bread with LF Cheese
S: Pria Bar
D: FF Chix with rice and Brocc
De: NONE
S: pretzels

WO: Run 2 mi, stretch 20 mins

I pretty much end up eating the same thing everyday. So far it hasn't been working with helping me lose weight, but I don't think my problem is what I eat over the week it's those terrible binge weekends.

B: Coffee and dry cereal (Life or Cheerios)
S: Fat free yogurt
L: Turkey Burger, 1/2 bun, side salad with fat free ranch
S: 2 viactivs
D: Flank steak, yellow rice, salad with fat free french
S: Apple and weight watcher frozen dessert

Hmm...

B: FF yogurt, 1/2 apple
S: 1/2 c. soup
L: turkey lunch meat, a slice of cheese, lettuce, cookie
S: granola bar
D: 1 slice cheese pizza, 2 mini-pitas w/marinara
s: grapes


eekk.. not a great eating day!!

my stupid button fiasco this morning threw me off my plan. I didn't do that badly though, considering what damage i could have done.... I replaced lunch with a baked potato with cheese (comfort self-pity food), erased both snacks, and will probably switch up the potato with dinner for something else... or maybe just leave it out.

I need to get tomorrow down though, so I keep up:

breakfast: 1c kashi, 1/2c 1% milk, 1/2 banana, coffee, perhaps an egg for more protien since i won't get another chance for food till lunch
lunch: carrots/hummus, yogurt, apple, ham roll-up w/laughing cow light
snack: 1/2 c cottage cheese, plum
dinner: hmm.... thinking tofu stir-fry, since I have tofu I need to eat and lots of good fresh veggies, and leftover brown rice already cooked.

I need to focus on not eating so many carbs... I've been getting almost 60% of my calories from carbs lately, which imho is way too high! not nearly enough protien in my diet.... this menu looks okay by fitday's standards, though, and rounds out at almost 1300 cals. that's still a little low, but better than 1100!


let's see how that goes!
