No Excuses! Maintainers food and exercise accountability for July
New month! Fresh and beautiful and summery! I'm so inspired by Amanda, Glory, Jessica and Shannon keeping track! My goal for the month is to keep track every day. My goal for today is to eat on plan.
L - BBQ salad - romaine, red cabbage, carrot shreddies, grape tomatoes, chicken, BBQ sauce, a little fat free ranch, a few tortilla strips for crunch
S - latte
S - tangelo
D - we are going out to dinner while our landlords show our condo to prospective tenants. Destination unknown, will update later!
Went to Olive Garden - had a glass of wine, but still well within calories for the day. I had 1/2 bowl minestrone soup (50 calories), apricot chicken (380 calories), glass of wine (100 calories). Very yummy, felt very decadent.
Two days OP for me! Tuesday & Wednesday were great! Now I just need some of this retained water to move on! Enough already!
Today:
B: greek yogurt, hot cinnamon black tea
S: 5 pistachios
L: grilled chicken salad or veggie wrap, depending on where I am
S: pb&j before run
D: most likely pasta with a veggie marinara, one glass of red wine
S: light ice cream sandwich or peanut butter toast
E: 30 mins yoga, run this afternoon - either outside or on the treadmill, depending on the weather

RSVP'd to my 10 year high school reunion last night, then immediately had a tiny panic attack. I was definitely the fat kid in high school, and I have 6 weeks to crank into high gear to rock whatever I'm going to wear to this thing. Granted, no matter what I do I'm going to look better than I did, but a little extra motivation never hurt anyone.
B - WW mini bagel w/ cream cheese, turkey
S - Watermelon
L - Leftovers: Lamb skewer, polenta, salad
S - Protein Shake
D - Pork roast, mixed squash with basil and parmesan
S - NSA Ice Cream
E - 75 min cardio, UB workout, ab workout
I'm going to try incorporating smaller amounts of weights on more days a week, instead of the two times a week full body thing I've done for awhile. I am thinking 20-30 min, either UB and abs or LB, 5 days a week.
Yesterday:
2 morningstar sauage patties, a slice of cheddar, 4 large strawberries
1 FF greek yogurts from TJ's
turkey sandwich with cheddar and lettuce
2 apricots
1 serving pizza, thin crust, chicken, spinach, tomato
1 golden oreo
1 oz chips
3.4 mile run
1 hr conditioning workout at the gym. Burpees were involved.
Switched planned dinner for a big salad w/ chicken, veggies galore, 40 cals worth of dressing. Cardio ended up being closer to 90 minutes...35 min HIIT sprints and 45 min hardcore incline.
Today:
B - Protein Shake
S - Watermelon
L - Tuna melt w/ RF cheddar on bagel thin
S - Yogurt w/ Berries
S - Popcorn
D - Pork Loin Roast, Asst summer squashes baked with basil and parm, salad
S - Frozen Yogurt. Actually bought it last night, but didn't feel like eating it when the time came (which was odd because I love the stuff) so saved it for a time I'd really enjoy it.
Yesterday came in well for me - instead of a veggie wrap for lunch I did a baked veggie flatbread pizza. Yummy. Did have 2/3 of a cherry lime-aide as an evening snack, but it fit within my calorie range.
Today:
B - yogurt
L - grilled veggie flatbread pizza
S - popcorn for world cup
D - boca spicy chik'n, grapes
S - yogurt or skinny cow
E - yoga, may take the rest of the day as an off day in prep for the Peachtree on Sunday. Did install a ceiling fan this morning...
Friday:
B - raisin bran, blueberries, skim milk
L - @work, Panera - half smoked turkey sandwich, plain salad w/lf dressing, piece of baguette, oatmeal raisin cookie
D - salad w/lettuce, fruit, grilled chicken, some sort of vinaigrette, leftover pasta w/zucchini/beet greens sauce
E - rest day, dog walk

L - BBQ salad - romaine, red cabbage, carrot shreddies, grape tomatoes, chicken, BBQ sauce, a little fat free ranch, a few tortilla strips for crunch (500)
S - latte (100)
S - some absolutely delicious cherries (100)
S - ate dinner late, so had a banana (100)
D - small steak (250) , small sweet potato (150), big pile of roasted brussel sprouts (100)
Yesterday was totally OP. Finished the day 300 cals under my maintenance level.
Today is already higher than I woul like, but it was with a planned southern chicken from McDonalds. I'm not upset about the calories, but I am upset that it just wasn't all that good. Sadness. Dinner will be small, will save the last if my cals for some yogurt before bed.
Today:
B - kashi w/ berries and skim, coffee (trying to up the carb today in prep for race)
S - popcorn and World Cup again - definitely a pattern
L - southern chicken and fries
D - meatloaf, mashed potatoes, maybe a roll
S - plain Greek yogurt w/ honey
E - yoga done, light strength and some stationary bike
B - Fage 0% yogurt, 1/2 package of strawberries, drizzle of local honey (200)
L - the last of the tomato, leek, spinach, chickpea, squash soup (300)
S - small, no sugar added mocha frappucino from Coffee Bean (150)
S - 6 oz cherries (100)
D - a challenge! Going to a friend's house for a Fourth BBQ. He is making bison burgers. I am going to bring a salad and eat a bison burger without a bun. The plan for dessert is smores, I will eat ONE (200 calories or so) and I should be on plan for today. Just called our friends, turns out, it's bison STEAK. They are having roasted corn on the cob and potatoes. My new plan - steak, corn, salad - no potatoes, one smore. I am around 800 calories today (starving at the moment, actually), so have plenty of room for a bigger dinner.
Okay - blew it last night. I ate bread (dipped in the most fabulous 40.00 balsalmic vinegar - it was like candy- literally). I ate a few potatoes and I had 2 smores. Smores made with chipotli chili dark chocolate are freaking insane.
My sexy jeans still aren't comfy yet, so wish I hadn't derailed. The food was all very good (the bison steak was from Costco, only 190 calories per serving, so at least the steak wasn't a blow out).
