L - One of the romaine lettuces I got at the farmer's market was icky inside, so I didn't get to make my usual 5 salads on Monday. I read the menu for our cafeteria and they are doing some kind of "greens and protein" salad today, so I picked today as the day to get my lunch in the cafeteria. Will take healthy salad dressing and report back!
Mmmm it was the urban chicken salad which I love. Mixed greens, couscous, raisins, tomatoes, corn, pumpkin seeds. I asked for no cheese, no dressing (brought in my own low fat balsalmic vinaigrette). I was sad, they were offering a cup of lobster bisque with the soup, but a cream-based soup really isnt on plan for me. I asked if I could sub a low cal veggie and they said no!

I was proud of myself yesterday - we went mattress shopping after work and didn't get home until almost NINE. I was famished, but didn't break down and get something fast. I had helped myself out by making the pasta sauce the night before, I just had to boil noodles and heat sauce. I probably at a little too much dinner, but it was still an on plan day.
I did find a great way to get the mattress guy to semi-freak out and give good deals. I took pictures of mattresses with my phone and had a little notebook and started taking all sorts of notes. I think he thought I was comparison shopping. We ended up with a great bed, for what I think was a good price. With mattresses, it's so hard to tell!
Thursday Day 16
B - 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 big spoons of apple butter
L - BBQ chicken salad - romaine, red cabbage, grape tomatoes, carrot shreddies, grilled chicken, a little BBQ sauce, a little fat free ranch, tortilla strips for crunch
S - latte
S - tangelo
D - leftover home made pasta sauce (turkey, tomatoes, fresh basil, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes) over 2 oz of pasta
Glory, I had a frozen burrito, but I was still hungry so I ate a container of leftovers form the previous night's dinner (which was portioned to be a complete meal). Two dinners! Oh well, DH had three dinners and two breakfasts so I guess we're even.
I'm POP, I'm just in a funk (it seems like the summer of every even year just sort of goes awry for us. Summer 2006 and 2008 were both terrible, and we're starting summer 2010 with the new roof, broken neck, MRI, and other ongoing stressors). If I've been off plan at all, it's from skipping - stress killing appetite.
Plan for today:
B - Bagel thin w/ cream cheese and turkey
S - Fruit Salad
L - leftovers - big salad with extra lean ground beef, peppers, zucchini, onion, sour cream, and 1 toasted corn tortilla crumbled over top.
S - Protein Shake before MRI
D - Chicken skewer, sauteed cabbage, polenta
S - NSA Ice Cream
Hey Jessica - that doesn't sound too bad! A frozen burrito isnt very big, maybe your body was just trying to tell you something?
And Amanda - I have been following your FB updates - BIG HUG. I am just SO HAPPY that someone finally managed to figure out your neck. It's like when I had the swallowing issues 2 summers ago and no one could tell me what was wrong with me. Getting the "well, it's mono" diagnosis was such a relief.
Well, the frozen burrito was 470 cals, and I'm guessing the portion of pasta I had afterward was another 350-400 cals or so. OTOH, my weight was down this morning, so who am I to complain?
Friday:
S (post-run) - remaining blackberry coconut milk smoothie
B - raisin bran, blueberries, skim milk
L - @work, 2.5 squares of veggie pizza, some salad w/french dressing, one small choc chip cookie
S - 2 pretzels, half a beer
D - pasta w/sauce & veggies & parm, leftover rice and tofu
E - 45 min run this morning

Only got 45 min of treadmill in before tingling in shoulder/arm got too bad to continue. Lately it seems like cardio is making it feel slightly worse.
Plan for today:
B - Bagel thin, cream cheese, turkey
S - Fruit Salad
L - Chicken skewers, WW couscous, cabbage
S - Protein Shake
D - Pasta w/ bell pepper, zucchini, chicken, and red onion, in a basil puree sauce (not quite a pesto, no nuts, but same flavor profile)
S - NSA Ice Cream
E - 60 min cardio, 45 min legs and abs (still no UB).
Well, a bit of a sad scale morning. After the scale saying I was down 1lb last week, it's back this week, so apparently after 3 weeks of hard work, I am right where I started.
I expect scale shennanigans, because my clothes are definitely fitting better. And, my period should start on Thursday, so it might be pre-period bloat and unpleasantness (my ring is tight, today). And I know it's so tough to lose when you are nearly at goal. I probably would have lost 10 lbs if I had done 3 weeks like this at my top weight!
Just whining a little, I know thing to do is record it and move on, and just watch the trend over time. But, I've been so perfectly on plan! And working out! 3 miles a day! Grrr.
