July was a wash for me scale-wise. Alas...I can do better. I have done better. I WILL do better.
I am running more consistently and I feel strong and powerful and in shape, which is nice. Probably also due to plenty of fuel!
Today:
morning star sausage patties, english muffin, apricot, protein shake
lunch: salad with a protein and complex carb
dinner: turkey, beans, veggies
stocked up on fruit for snacks
exercise: TBD, either a run or weights, probably not time for both.
Tuesday:
B - shredded wheat, oatmeal squares, blueberries, skim milk
L - leftover pinto bean skillet, rice
S - small peach, two bite-sized plums, lf string cheese, leftover bread
D - leftover baked pasta
S - melon, pita bread, ice cream
E - rest day

Checking back in! Everything's been fine and on plan since the last time I posted, I've just been insanely busy.
Today:
1/2 sandwich, w/w bread, salad, veggie burger
Apple
Black-eyed bean sambar, 1/4 cup dry weight brown basmati rice, galia melon w/lime juice and fresh mint
2 figs w/ 1 tbsp flaked almonds, drizzled with a bit of plain yogurt, 1/2 tbsp honey and dusted with cinnamon
40 g All-Bran, soy milk, strawberries
Midwife, milk duds are not a food group! But I had ice cream last night, so who am I to talk? (BTW, for Shannon and the other ice cream afficionados, Ben & Jerry's flavor Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream is delicious.)

L - leftover baked pasta
S - two small peaches, one apricot, two bite-sized plums, lf string cheese
D - baked chicken thighs oregatana on pasta, green beans

Gah, Special Lady Time arrived this morning, and I feel bloated and wretched. And yet, my weight was DOWN slightly. Still, on plan, no real struggle or desire to eat the entire world, and it's exactly one month since I hit goal, and overall, I'm down about 2 lbs from there, so I'm feeling fairly positive.
B: 1 veggie burger, 2 thin slices of low-cal wheatgerm bread, tomatoes (from my garden, yay!)
L: 3 Ryvita, guacamole
D: Veggie thali plate, brown rice, galia melon. In other words, small amounts of my backlog of various veggie curries. Calling it a thali makes me feel fancy.
S: 40 g All-Bran, soy milk, strawberries
Yesterday, freaked about flying so unable to really eat except a sandwich for lunch. Got a salad and ate on the plane. When I landed, even though it was late, I stopped at a grocery store and stocked my hotel fridge and laptop bag with salad fixings, deli chicken, protein bars, strawberries, tangelos, and a huge bottle for water.
This morning, got up earlyearly to get in an hour of cardio before heading into the office.
Gigantic presentation and packed schedule today, but at least if I have TIME to eat, I'll have food on hand other than what's in the vending machines! Hopefully once I'm done tonight I can go lift in the hotel gym...they have benches and all kinds of lovely weights I can't get at home.
Thursday:
B - raisin bran, blueberries, skim milk
L - leftover chicken and pasta
S - two apricots (small), four tiny tiny plums, lf string cheese
D - chicken veg poblano casserole
S - watermelon
E - none

Note to self: you finished your triathlon, you're not training hard anymore, so STOP EATING SO MUCH.

L - @work, on the border: one tortilla w/fajita beef/veggies, rice, beans, a few tortilla chips, salsa, guac, lettuc, one sopapilla

Yesterday - ended up last night getting takeout from a place that does Mexican-style bowls...organic beans, brown rice, organic chicken, grilled veggies, FF sour cream, salsa, and guac. Yummy and 500 cals.
Also took advantage of the WAY heavier weights at the hotel gym. Proved I can lift a LOT.
Then I took a painkiller because the shoulder was a little iffy (um, yeah...that's the issue with lifting heavy), forgetting that they drop my blood sugar through the floor. Woke up after 4 or 5 hours sleep (not sleeping enough also drops my blood sugar), ran 4 miles, got in shower, and just about passed out (the world was completely black for multiple minutes, I thought I might be permanently blind...I had to sit on the shower floor). Ate a protein bar, back to normal. Sheesh.
On plan, though! Packed myself another giant salad, two tangelos, a bunch of strawberries, and a sea of protein bars today, since I've been so hungry on this trip.
Milk duds are definitely not a food group....neither are some other things I consumed recently. I really don't know what is wrong with me these days. There's some stress in my life, but that's no excuse really. I still control what goes in my mouth.
Today:
oatmeal with protein powder and blueberries
water, lots of water. I'm thirsty. Junk food will do that to you!
1 hr weights
run with DD
lunch will be a turkey yamwich with avocado
peach, yogurt
turkey burger, veggies
Note to self: you finished your triathlon, you're not training hard anymore, so STOP EATING SO MUCH.
Oooh I had that issue too when my training ended.
Now I'm fighting the "you're training again, that does not give you license to go nuts with the food, Fat Pants. SERIOUSLY." Complete with a mental punch to the face.
Halp! I need some accountability!
Friday 8/5:
Breakfast: 1 egg + 1 egg white, low carb tortilla
S: half of a donut (grr)
L: Not sure yet, have to leave early for a dr. appointment
D: Not sure, it's date night so hopefully we end up at a place with salad or good sandwich options.
