It's an old chestnut but it's so true:

A failure to plan is a plan to fail.

So here's my plan for the day!

No gym because I've got some kind of crud.

M1: 1/2 protein shake with 1/2 cup of blueberries
M2: Egg w/ 4 whites, 1/3 cup oatmeal
M3: Apple w/ 1 tablespoon natural PB
M4: Wrap w/ 2 oz turkey breast and shredded cabbage
M5: Yogurt
M6: 4 oz salmon, broccoli

D - black eyed pea stew (352), roll (110), piece of cornbread (156), clementine (23), sip of juice (15)

With roommates & BF still out of town, I have no one trying to tempt me with naughty foods that I don't really want to eat, and lots of free time to work out in! I'm trying to look at the upside of missing my BF and my friends .

S - small banana
L - 2 oz. lean deli turkey on 2 sl whole wheat bread, 1 c carrots, 1 c red peppers
Snacks/continuation of my 4-hour lunch - 8 oz ff light yogurt, 1 c cherries, 1 oz raw almonds
gym - 50 min. full body weights/strength, core, 50 min. elliptical
post-gym snack - homemade protein bar (Meg's recipe!)

I need this....I haven't been recording my food and I need to. The plan for today:

B~grapefruit (oh, and two very tiny cookies that just leaped into my hand here at work--NO MORE!)
L~turkey noodle soup, yogurt and a tangelo
S~if I need it, 3 Triscuits with 1 oz cheese
D~either turkey soup or leftover lasagna (not the better choice but I have to get it out of the house)

E~1 mile walk tonight with DH and DD

[Kery]

Ohh, yes. Good idea. Just what I need!

B - 1 omelette (1 egg + 2 whites) w/mushrooms and chive, 2 tangerines, 1 slice of chicken ham, 1 low-fat yogurt, 1 coffee

L - Green beans, 2 spring rolls (soy, shrimps, mint, chicken... inside) w/ nuoc-mam sauce, 1 soy yogurt

S - 100g cottage cheese w/ cinnamon, 1 small banana

D - 40g quinoa w/ tomato sauce and herbs, mushrooms, green beans, 1 ypgurt

Which puts me around 1200, according to my calculations. I don't know if I made a mistake or if I was just satisfied with little today. Oh well!

Exercise: the campus gym is still closed. Boo. So I took my bike and went on an exploration rut along the canal. 45 minutes total with the wind in my face, various ups and downs, and a very nice sight of the waters under a crystal-clear sky.

[WaterRat]

Oh gosh, I do need some accountability, so I'll try to do it here.

B - 1 c cheerios, 1/4 c blueberries, 5 walnut halves, 1/2 c 1% milk, 1/2 slice toast
L - bean burrito: ww tortilla, ff refried beans, 1/2 small avocado, salsa, ff sour cream
D - left over sauteed shrimp, 1/2 c rice, 1/2 c peas
S - thru the day: applesauce, yogurt, canned fruit (because I never made it to the grocery store yesterday)

Exercise: gym after work for some cardio and UB work

[paperclippy]

While I'm at it I might as well list off yesterday's food too, so I have a complete record of this month.

Tuesday 1/1
B - half a trader joe's spinach quiche single serving (235)
S - the rest of the holiday cookies - about 4-5 bite-sized cookies (150?)
L - 1C pasta (197) w/sauce (50)

Exercise - I kept hitting the snooze this morning. It was too COLD to exercise. So tonight, I am committing to 40 minutes on the elliptical.

Tammy, 150 cals of yogurt and fruit is pretty healthy! Much better than a sausage egg McMuffin anyway.

Yeah it wasn't bad. I had a beautiful bowl of hot oatmeal prepared at home this morning. I had doctored it up just like I like it, sat down and poured my milk into it, THEN got a whiff of the milk. It had soured...So my beautiful bowl of oatmeal had to go straight in the trash. I LOVE oatmeal. It's one of my all time fave foods and the yogurt was a poor substitute.

[WaterRat]

Ewwwww, Tammy. I just hate that. I always smell the milk when it gets down to about 1/4 of the bottle. And I keep some powered skim for those emergencies. I can't drink it, but it's okay on hot cereal. I'm an oatmeal lover too.
