S~Medifast bar (I'm no longer trying to fool myself--I need a bit more food in the morning) 110
L~non Medifast meal--beefy vegetable pasta. Kind of like stew. 120
S~shrimp (see above) 50
D~going out tonight, who knows

Skipped exercise yesterday since I was too achy. Planning on doing the pilates today instead and some bike riding this weekend since the weather has cooled down a little.

Having a much bigger breakfast has really been keeping my hunger under control later in the day. This week I've been using full fat yogurt (from a local organic grass-fed dairy) and I think the extra fat helps too. I feel like three big meals a day is working better for me than fewer smaller meals, at least in terms of when I get hungry.

Friday:
B - muesli, yogurt, milk, granola, banana
L - @Ted's Montana Grill - half a bison burger on wheat bun with pepper jack, guac, poblanos; side of green beans
S - cherries, slimfast bar
D - leftover kasha pilaf and tuna noodle casserole
S - choc banana
E - 30 min pilates obliques & inner thighs

Monday plan

B~egg (90)
S~Medifast bar (110)
L~non-Medifast meal (120)
S~either yogurt (70) or string cheese (90)
D~chicken and salad (500ish)

I'm certain there will be additional calories consumed in there somewhere. Nuts usually play into things when I get home from work.

I have to get my tail back in gear on the accountability posting. I start out nicely at the beginning of the month, then time moves on and I drop it. I still log every day in TDP, but I think I need the accountability of putting it out for people to see.

So here goes, take 3.

Monday:
B - steel cut oatmeal w/ sugar, raisins, blueberries
L - salad w/ grilled chicken and one round of bacon
S - string cheese, maybe a packet of peanut butter before I go for my rn
D - ground turkey w/ pepper & onion over rice
S - greek yogurt w/ honey, blueberries and maybe granola is I've been good and can afford the calories

Well that got messed up.
Monday was really busy at work and when I got home DS had a bunch of paperwork for me to do for his school registration. By the time that was done, I had no idea what to fix for dinner, let alone time to prepare it. So we ordered pizza. Worst part was, I wasn't that hungry but it tasted so good that I ended up overeating. Ugh.

Tuesday's plan
B~egg
S~Medifast bar
L~Medifast type lunch
S~yogurt or cheese
D~Grilled chicken with low fat fettuccini alfredo and broccoli
