Do you make your own hummus or buy it? I haven't found a kind I *love * yet, but I've had some great homeade hummus. Too bad i'm such a crappy cook.

Yesterday I was actually decent, and I got my butt to a 1.5 hour yoga class and did 44 minutes of elliptical/treadmill cardio. Today I have to make sure I get enough protein.

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon, 2 slices wholegrain bread


lunch (planned): veggie burger, mixed veggies

snack: Bolthouse farms protein drink (1 c), piece of fruit

dinner TBD

Workout: 75 min yoga class, 45 min cardio

I buy hummus. My favorite hummus comes from a restaurant that I used to go to but I moved so no more of that. I have been meaning to make it myself but I haven't yet.

I make hummus with the Fantastic Foods mix.

today:

1 packet cinnamon weight control oatmeal
1/2 tablespoon natural peanut butter
1 teaspoon clover honey
2 cups skim

1 can healthy request soup, chicken & rice, more water added than called for to reduce the sodium some more.
1/2 cup-3/4 cup baby spinach & radicchio
1/4 cup mushrooms
1 serving light done right house italian dressing
1 light multigrain english muffin
1 tbsp smart balance
1 stick reduced fat string cheese

1 packet doritos
2 sticks reduced fat string cheese
1 yellow apple
2 servings baby carrots

1 serving kashi blueberry cereal
1/4 cup skim milk

I am nervous now guys because I am home & the cereal is open now. Cereal is the easiest thing ever to binge on. Keep your for me.

I am really glad to see this thread. Funny I was thinking about it on my way home from the gym.

Here is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast
Oatmeal...Low Sugar Maple
Blueberries
1 cup skim milk
coffee

Snack
1/2 cup hummus
pita chips

Lunch
Turkey
White nectarine

Dinner
Blue Fish
Roasted Veggies
Cucumber and Tomato salad

Dessert
Cherries

No exercise. I am on an every other day routine.

Today-
... so far has not been that great as far as eating since I am on vacation I went to lunch with my Mom. I am also tending to "treat" myself to things I do not get in Korea.

Breakfast
Oatmeal
Blueberries
Skim Milk
Coffee

Snack
Hummus
Pita chips

Lunch
gucamole with chips
chicken/avacodo quesadilla
My favorite dessert....tartufo.....(vanilla and chocolate ice cream ball with thin chocolate shell and a cherrie in the middle)
decaf coffee

Dinner will be:
bluefish
roasted veggies

Dessert
cherries

Exercise was fine I went to the gym and worked like crazy on the recumbant bike for 20 minutes using the fat burning setting (instead of level 1). I also used the arc trainer for 20 minutes and the arm bike for ten. I was dripping with sweat by the end.

So maybe the tartufo will equal out and there will be no gain. HOWEVER...I know I am on vacation and am trying to do what I can but I am not in full diet mode while I am away. So I am not beating myself up over anything.

I did ok yesterday. No gain... which is a success in itself. Looking forward to today.

I'm proud of you, Darlene! It just shows that you can still enjoy a vacation without piling the weight back on.

(Hmm... are you listening, DishyFishy! )

Awwww, Fishy. Be gentle with yourself. You can't uneat anything. You can only move onward & downward.

today

2 eggs, scrambled in a little butter
2 slices white toast, buttered
1 banana
1 serving 1% milk

^^ate at mom's with my little man silent begging at the table. Silent begging is sitting nice, as if to say, "Look what a good boy I am. I am sitting nice. Don't you want to share your breakfast with me?" and I did give him some toast crusts & a bit of egg & a bit of banana. I can't help it, he's good. And he has lost a pound, and is down to 17 pounds.

I always switch up my dinner.
