Default No Excuses! Maintainers Food and Exercise Accountability for December

I thought maybe we should just move to a monthly thread for this since we don't have too much traffic. I'm including November 30 because it might as well be December and it's a Monday!

Monday:
B - oatmeal, raisins, pumpkin butter, skim milk
L - leftover turkey mushroom casserole with cranberry sauce
S - pear
D - broccoli, pasta with sauce and cheese
S - english muffin w/butter and jam
E - 1.7 mile HIIT run

Me weekend was a train wreck, I admit it. Overate Thursday, did fine Friday & Saturday, overate Sunday. Pretty much every other day for exercise. Getting back on track today. Have my food and snacks planned for the weekdays, working on my dinner plans now.

Today:
E: strength training when I get home - probably a total body workout I think
B: kashi go lean w/ raspberries, arils, banana & skim milk, coffee
L: grilled chicken salad, two clementines
Ss: trail mix, yogurt w/ arils, raspberries and granola
D: ground chicken & peppers over rice, broccoli
S: probably more yogurt, maybe an apple and laughing cow, or now that I read Amanda's food for the day I'm now thinking protein shake. I've been low on protein the last few months, wonder if that is part of my weight being up...

Eating garlic bread is not going to reduce my stress level.

Midwife - scale could be up from stress... At least you held strong on the garlic bread!

Mind if I join you?

I had a horrible eating day yesterday and I blame it all on Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General for the state of New York. There, it's not my fault!! Long story, but he served a subpoena on DH last night at 5:30 pm, which caused him not to get home until 9 pm and is canceling out next week's vacation. So I showed Andrew Cuomo who's boss by stuffing my face! Genius, pure genius on my part.

So today is planned and logged in Fitday.

M1: Kashi Go Lean, unsweetened almond milk
M2: Egg, egg whites, oatmeal
M3: Chili over shredded cabbage
M4: LF string cheese, apple
M5: Salmon, veggie of some sort
S: Diet cocoa

Getting enough sleep would help. DH had to get up at 3:45 this morning to go to DC, so I'm a tad tired today. Blew off the gym but will be there tomorrow morning, no excuses.
