yesterday I was at a 5yo bday party talking with some moms. and I mentioned that if I had one hershey's kiss I would need to finish the bag but if it was a dark chocolate square then, while I might want to have the bag, I didn't nec. feel as compelled to eat it and could possibly be satisfied with just a bit. sure enough.... wouldn't you know that of the two bday parties attended by my 4 guys there was at least a store bag of hershey's kisses in all the goody bags!! thy didn't get eaten by my sugar saturated birthday cake and cookie eating boys. but they are gone now
glad to start fresh today
5 mile run, done
chicken fajita on greens-- enough for break and lunch. (was supposed to be enough for lunch and snack but left break at home.
fruit snack, don't know which yet
dinner, boca burgers with cheese and salsa, blueberries.
Good morning! The weekend wasn't too bad calorie wise, no exercise though. Went down to visit my grandmother, DH & I took DSS to visit his grandmother. Busy busy.
Today:
E: total body strength training workout (weider, dumbbell, ball) + 10 mins hard cardio already done
B: smoothie,
S: string cheese, blueberries, cherries
L: grilled chicken sandwich on wheat - lett, tom, probably bacon
S(s): yogurt, kashi go lean
D: not sure yet... either cheese pizza or cereal and yogurt
S: peanut butter graham cracker
B~110 cal bagel, LC light cheese
S~hard boiled egg
L~Healthy Choice entree, apple
S~yogurt
D~don't know. Both the kids are away tonight so it's either leftover chicken enchiladas (cooking light) or perhaps DH and I will go out for tapas
I am just going to ignore the scale because I'm all bloated from the pain meds. Suffice it to say, the weekend was very well-moderated, and I'm up 5 lbs from Friday. Sigh. Can't do anything about it until I'm off the painkillers, though, and I know its not fat. Lame!
Enough whining. Though I am reducing calories down to a max of 1250 for a few weeks.
B - Slimfast
L - Tuna sandwich on toasted sourdough
S - Fruit salad
D - Grilled flank steak salad w/ grilled veggies
S - Ice Cream Bar
E - Crazy hard extreme aerobics video, still with arm pinned to my side.
I ate one of those 100 calorie packs of chocolate covered pretzels while my computer rebooted.... I have room for it in my calories today, but am annoyed at the weakness. I'm angry with my computer and I know it is going to now give me trouble the rest of the day... Made some tea to sip on during the rest of the crazy...
I went to a BBQ Saturday - BBQ made by award winning BBQ-masters - and it was so tasty, yet so bad. Because I ate lots of BBQ but then I dove into the garlic bread, pasta salad, and dessert table too. And then I took a plate of leftovers. Though I'm not drinking alcohol I certainly eat enough extra calories to compensate at social events. Sigh.
Today is Monday and I'm really good at Mondays, so back on track.
B - protein pancake, sk milk, small banana, coffee
L - Black Bean Fajita Meatball Pitas, cucumber
S - 6 oz. lowfat yogurt, mango, 1/2 oz. walnuts
gym - back, cardio (elliptical)
other 1/2 oz. walnuts if needed while pork chops are marinating
D - Balsamic-Marinated Pork Chops & Grilled Peaches, steamed artichoke w/ 1 Tbsp light mayo & vinegar dressing
goal: 1560 cals
Weekend was okay, nothing awful enough to kick the calories out of sight.
B - oatmeal, with walnuts, raisins, skim millk; ww toast; cantalope
S - No time, meeting for 3 hours
L - Smart Ones Santa Fe Rice and Beans dumped over varied lettuce blend, with lf sour cream/salsa
S - cottage cheese, banana
D - leftovers - DH is out planning a July camping trip
returned from work while children were eating dinner. our sitter made them whole wheat spagetti with a tuna, soy mushroom type sauce and bbq sauce. with parmesan cheese on top. a thai american creation
then I had some of the sauce and cleared all their plates of pasta (calling that my dinner). and had a blue bunny ice cream bar and a very small (frozen) brownie. my tally for the day is anywhere between 1250-1550 cals.
Hey - today was 100% on plan. I even got through the entire video with my arm held down, which I wasn't able to do last week. And I came in just under my ideal calorie range.
Planning for another tomorrow!
B - Scramble with egg whites, veggies, a little deli turkey, and a toasted whole wheat mini bagel
S - 2 cups fruit salad (pineapple, watermelon, blueberries, strawberries, and grapes - we made up two big bins for the week)

E - 60 min on the step, 60 min strength training on mostly LB, trying to push and see what I can do with my UB without hurting the shoulder.
Yesterday was pretty OP. Bootcamp kicked my butt. Note to self -- if you wear skimpy running shorts for outdoor exercise, use some powder to prevent thigh chafing! Ouchie!
Tuesday:
B - shredded wheat, strawberries, blueberries, skim milk
S - banana
L - leftover paella
S - apple, yogurt/strawberries/granola
D - pasta w/chard and roasted asparagus

Jessica - ouch! I just bought two pairs of running shorts and one has nice leggings under the shorts, the other doesn't have them like I thought they did.... Better make sure I've got powder for those...
I had 2.5 slices of cheese pizza for dinner last night instead of the 1-2 I planned, and had an orange yogurt bar for evening snack instead of a peanut butter graham cracker. Still stayed in line with calories for the day.
Today:
E: 45 mins elliptical HIIT done
B: Smoothie, that I'm still not feeling...
S: blueberries, cherries, string cheese
L: grilled chicken salad or sandwich
