Yesterday was great foodwise - I ended up with ground chicken & peppers in red sauce with WW spaghetti instead of my planned meal, but kept it in line. Didn't exercise - by the time I got home I was wiped out so ended up sleeping for two hours. By the time I woke up I was congested & dizzy and my ears were stopped up again, so tabled exercise after I couldn't keep my balance on the attempted yoga.

Amanda - I think six shots gives you a pass on exercise today.

E: probably none. I have to get better before I go insane.
B: smoothie, coffee
S: strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries
L: grilled chicken BLT on ww bread (no mayo)
S: lf vanilla yogurt w/ berries, apple w/ light laughing cow or oatmeal
D: pb&j, apple w/ laughing cow if it wasn't afternoon snack, banana or cheese bunnies otherwise
S: dunno... kashi crunchy bar? cereal?

Amanda - OUCH!!! You definitely have a pass.

Yesterday went to pieces in the late afternoon. I got home about 5:15 and had a meeting at 6 ish, but wasn't hungry, so I didn't eat. Well, that didn't work. I ended up having a few pieces candy, a small piece of cheesecake (which I scraped the cherries of off - eww, don't like them - and didn't finish) and a cup of coffee. Probably still in my calorie range, but not exactly nutritious!

B - 2 eggs, 1/2 ww bagel, mix of fruit (split 1/2 peach, kiwi fruit, and small amt of raspberries with DH)
S - ff latte, 3 Ritz with pb
L - leftover chicken, few vegs
S - cottage cheese, mixed berries
D - chicken, rice, veg - that was supposed to be yesterday's dinner

Ex: lawn mowing/leaf pickup

Where is everyone?

Up 6 lbs of cortisone and painkiller weight. Ugh. Oh well. I WILL exercise today, even if its moderated.

B - WW LC tortilla, PB, chopped apple roll up
S - Orange
L - Beef Stew
S - Popcorn
S - Protein Shake
D - Spicy Mexican Chicken Soup - Chicken Chile Verde base, chopped tomato, jalapeno, brown rice, zucchini, carrot, celery, onion, chicken broth to thin
S - NSA Ice Cream

E - 60 min cardio, 45 of what strength I can do (I think abs may be hard because I can't lay on my back, and I'll be limited on some of what I normally do on the floor, so I'll do what I can).

Yesterday came in fine on calories - I substituted a Guinness Draught for my evening snack it was less calories then the planned snack at least.

Today:
Plan to exercise when I get home. Not even going to speculate on what I'll be doing at this point.
B: smoothie (higher cal than I planned, got carried away with the peanut butter), coffee
S: totally full from calorie high breakfast, so moved morning snack to after lunch
L: grilled chicken salad
S: assorted berries, lf vanilla yogurt w/ berries
D: ground chicken breast tacos
S: dunno - might end up getting some ice cream type product

I survived the taco bar at work -- actually it was way better than I was expecting. They got it catered from On The Border and it was more of a fajita bar. Still have no clue how to calorie count it, but I can at least record what I ate.

Friday:
B - shredded oats, raspberries, skim milk
L - about 1/3 C mexican rice, 1/4 C black beans, 1 flour tortilla, two slices grilled red pepper, two slices grilled zucchini, four strips of fajita chicken, about 1/4 C fajita bell peppers, 2 T lettuce, 2 T salsa, 2 T pico de gallo
S - two small apples
D - tuna noodle casserole with broccoli
S - skim milk
E - HIIT run

Look at me, I'm here on the weekend!!! I am SERIOUS about kicking this weight! (Please yell at me if I don't check in next weekend. )

Saturday:
B - shredded oats, raspberries, skim milk
L - will be leftover tuna noodle casserole
S - trying to skip it today to have more calories available for dinner
D - Rosh Hashanah dinner: 1 glass red wine, 2 slices challah, apple slices with a little honey, big salad, large portion veggie tsimmes, small portion brisket, one piece gefilte fish, one serving honey cake, one coconut macaroon.
E - rest day, walk with dog

Thanks Kitty, same to you!

I survived the dinner almost 100% sticking to my plan, except that I had a whole piece of gefilte fish and one coconut macaroon. Total for the day was about 2200 cals (only 600 of which were before dinner!).

Sunday:
B - small piece of challah, glass of skim milk
L - salad w/italian dressing, some leftover sweet potato and carrot tsimmes
D - glass of red wine, buttercup squash with multigrain "stuffing", buttercup squash with apples and cinnamon
E - rest day
