you inspire me. You already planned tomorrow's menu in detail. I know planning is vital but i never thought of planning the next day in detail.
THANKS

Hey there -

Lots of the 3FC maintainers plan ahead. For me, it means that tomorrow, I won't be wondering what to eat, or finding myself superhungry and needing something quick (and likely to be high calorie). It's mindless!

I've done it almost every night since I started, in late 2005....plan out my food for the next day. And it works!

Ohhh maannnnnn, is it really the 10th?????

I have been in upstate NY for the past 2 weeks and will be here for the next two weeks. I brought my scale I think it is 1 or 2 pounds lighter here. My food quality has been medium but my scale has been relatively unchanged. Of course, I have not checked this am yet-- we went out to a hamburger and fries joint last night.

plan-- scale this am, face the music
balance bar
ham and cheese, mustard
bite size plums
dinner, if we are home, may visit S.I.L. in Albany
squash, zucchini, grilled or sauteed
chicken breast

happy monday

exercise, will get back on wagon tomorrow am.

Weekend catch up for me, too...

Friday:
E: did my strength training and light cardio when I got home
After dinner snack didn't happen, one afternoon snack didn't happen, ended the day 250 cals under target

Saturday:
E: 6 miles at the park, ran 3.75solid, 1 mile of sprint intervals, walked the rest at various points. I'm not a fast runner, still averaging 14 minute miles total, but did get one 9:42 min mile in there when I was hauling it. Can't maintain that more than the one mile, though, and that was pushing it!
B: 1/2 pb&j
L: grilled chicken sandwich from Arby's
S: coffee x 2, mango, grapes, strawberries, 1/4 of lowfat muffin (entire muffin only 110 calories)
D: vindaloo chicken over wild rice, Sweet Water Pale Ale
S: protein smoothie with peanut butter & lite chocolate syrup, coffee

Sunday:
This is the day that got a little crazy!
E: off day
B: kashi go lean crunch w/ skim milk & assorted berries, banana, coffee
L: Grilled chicken salad from Wendy's
S: popcorn, coffee
S: assorted fruit as I was making my fruit bowl to take to friend's house for dinner
D: Dinner at a friends house, I took the entree & the fruit: Amanda's pork tenderloin in chunky tomato sauce, green beans, 1/2 cup mashed potatoes, gigantic bowl of mixed fruit (red/white grapes, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple - it was intended to make me full so I avoided the chips and snacks, but didn't last all night... )
S: begin the crazy... margarita, multigrain tostitos w/ spinach dip & corn & black bean salsa, ice cream. Lots of tostitos... lots of ice cream... ice cream at midnight after we got home...

Back on track today... I guess that Time article would say my self control muscle was weakened after my run on Saturday...

B: smoothie, coffee
S: strawberries, blueberries, string cheese
L: grilled chicken salad
S: lowfat vanilla yogurt with berries, maybe kashi go lean with 2% if I have room, maybe another yogurt instead
D: spaghetti in a chunky, vegetable-y red sauce
S: depends on the room, probably tea with some grapes
