No Excuses! Maintainers Food and Exercise Accountability 9/7 - 9/13
Good morning!
I have no big plans today, so food should be safe. Though there might be ice cream...
E: light DB and some cardio, unless I take advantage of the day and go to the park
B: coffee, DH wants to make hashbrowns...
S: string cheese or cereal w/ berrie & skim, depends on breakfast
L: turkey, tomato, french onion laughing cow on flat out wrap
S: dunno yet
D: ground turkey breast over rice or ground turkey tacos
S: yogurt w/ berries, unless the mentioned ice cream develops, then I'm looking for the Stoneyfield frozen yogurt at Publix

Wow. Just me today so far. That's okay. Makes it easier to admit my popcorn afternoon snack, extra taco, cranberry orange muffins (fat free at least) for breakfast and ice cream chaser after dinner. Tomorrow will be better.

I still have one heck of a cold, so so far I've had lots of fluids and a bowl of chicken noodle soup. And a few sample bites of the jam I was making. Other than that, just not hungry.
We're planning on having pork and long bean stirfry with brown and wild rice, and I may have a snack...popcorn or a protein shake... (and will definitely be having my standard ice cream dessert...I'm big on cold/sweet things when I'm sick).
Going to be better today. If I say it over and over I'll hopefully start to believe it.
Amanda - hope you feel better soon! I think I'm starting to get a cold myself, which I figure accounts for some of my blah feeling.
Today:
E: some cardio when I get home if there is time - I'm on a WC panel this afternoon so hoping for an hour gap between it and time to pick up DSS from daycare.
B: smoothie, coffee
S: string cheese, strawberries, blueberries
L: grilled chicken salad
S: yogurt with berries or a Kashi bar, depending on timing
D: sandwich - probably turkey & broccoli w/ laughing cow on flat out wrap
S: dunno yet - yogurt maybe?
B - French toast and strawberries
S - Asian Pear
L - Leftover Pork and Long Bean stirfry, brown rice
S - Popcorn
S - Muscle Milk
D - Grilled chicken, black beans, grilled zucchini
S - NSA Ice Cream, berries
E - 60 min cardio, 60 min strength (the cardio will be lighter than usual. I'd really like the strength to be good, though, so we'll try to muscle through).
Amanda - More power to you on the exercise... as the day goes on I feel more and more cold symptoms popping up which are making me really not want to walk across the hall to the bathroom, much less exercise...
My hospital's cafeteria is now offering Muscle Milks. I'll have to check them out next time I'm there!
Today:
3 mile run (sprint intervals)
1/2 bagel, laughing cow, protein shake
lunch will be scrambled eggs (1 whole + 4 whites), zucchini, bell pepper, black beans, red chile, avocado....can't wait! Literally, I'm starving and it smells so good!
snack?
dinner: leftover pork chops with sauteed cabbage
It is so strange not to be hungry. It's 11:30 am here, I've done most of my cardio, and I still can't force myself to eat breakfast. Maybe I'll have that protein shake now...at least it's liquid.
I just joined yesterday. I have lost almost 50 pounds since February. I would like to lose another 10, but I am in no hurry. I am in a size 4/6 now, and am really comfortable here. Actually, just looking to keep toning, and lowering body fat. If that entails more weight loss so be it.
I am a Turbo Kick instructor, and exercise is a part of my daily life now. I am either doing Turbo Kick, Turbo Jam, Insanity, ChaLean Extreme or Cathe.
My eating is pretty good. Portioned controlled. I watch fat, sugar etc. I try to eat 4-6 times a day.
My cold is starting to beat on me a little today. I got my exercise in yesterday, but today my chest feels a little rattley and I'm hoarse. I typically have Amanda's 'above the neck' rule - this might be a rest day. Chest congestion and stopped up ears often equals dizzy for me, so probably shouldn't be trying to wave dumbbells around... I thought my cardio yesterday was going to kill me, and I feel worse today, so that probably isn't wise either.
Today:
E: depends on how I feel when I get home
B: smoothie, coffee, mini bagel
S: string cheese, blueberries, strawberries
L: grilled chicken salad or chicken wrap if I go out
S: lf vanilla yogurt w/ berries, apple w/ laughing cow
D: ground turkey breast w/ peppers or turkey sausage w/ peppers over rice
S: depends on if I'm hungry or not... maybe just tea

Reason: My 'n' sticks...
Midwife - I was just talking about needing a recovery week, I guess nature might be taking care of it for me! How did the 5k go? I thought about you during my run on Saturday!
Symptoms still appear to be above the neck, so it's on today. Yesterday was POP (even threw in an extra 20 min of cardio) but I had to work late so I will be fighting the tired munchies today.
B - French toast, plum
S - Melon
L - Grilled chicken, black beans, grilled squash
S - WW LC Tortilla, turkey, 1/2 tbsp peach jalapeno jam, veggies.
S - Popcorn
D - FiberGourmet pasta, roasted veggies, turkey meatballs
S - NSA Ice Cream, strawberries
