Welcome, TrudyFay :)

L: leftover soup, clementines
D: taco salad (greens, ground turkey, onions, salsa, a little cheddar, 1 crumbled taco shell

The toe is definitely broken, and is all purple and swollen and resists walking, so today will be an exercise in "What can I do for cardio without pain?"

Welcome Trudy!

You guys are all doing a great job of logging! I'm so glad it's not just me on this thread anymore. :)

My weekend catch-up will show why I need to be here though . . . over my red line this morning. Sigh.

Saturday:
B - oatmeal, flaxseed, apple, walnuts, skim milk
L - leftover sausage sweet potato kale soup, piece of bread
S - licked the bowl after making tapioca pudding
D - spaghetti and (turkey) meatballs, broccoli, homemade garlic bread, 2 glasses of wine
E - 25 min wog (20 mins 2:30::2:30 walk::run plus w/u, c/d)

Sunday:
B - oatmeal, flaxseed, apple, walnuts, skim milk
S - Panera yogurt/granola/strawberry thing
L - leftover spaghetti and meatballs w/broc
D - @cooking club - glass of wine, hot cocoa, small portion each of: black bean soup, chicken chili, salad, broccoli cheese casserole, veggie curry, chicken pot pie, 2 herb oatmeal rolls, tapioca pudding, chocolate oatmeal cake
E - 30 mins swim (22 laps)

Monday:
B - oatmeal, flaxseed, apple, walnuts, skim milk
L - leftover sausage, sweet potato, kale soup
D - half leftover chicken pot pie, rest of tapioca
E - 25 mins wog (20 mins 2:30::2:30 walk::run)

The question is what will happen to the leftover tapioca pudding in the fridge. Portion it out and eat it within plan over the course of the week? Eat it all at once to get rid of it? Take it to work? I'm leaning towards option 1 but not sure. I wonder if there is a difference, metabolism-wise, between eating 2C of tapioca on one day or 1/2C per day for four days.

Edited today for reality. Tomorrow's plan is:

B - 1 egg, 3 egg whites, spinach, cheddar, half toasted bagel thin.
S - Greek yogurt w. blueberries and 1/3 cup whole wheat cereal
L - Leftover beef lettuce wraps with cashews
S - Protein Shake
S - Apple w/ cheddar
D - Whole wheat penne, ground turkey meatballs, and tomato sauce, with spinach salad on the side.
S - NSA Ice Cream

E - 75 min cardio of some kind, 60 min strength training (have to manage both without compromising form or hurting the toe. We'll see!)
