Hey guys --

I remember we had one of these threads in January, and I can't remember if we had a Feb. one or not, but we certainly don't have one for March and it's more than halfway over! I know I'd benefit from a little accountability food-wise, so let's post our plans for the day or our foods consumed not only to remain on-track but also to share ideas!


Today: I've been sorta out of it, I'm exhausted from the past couple of days so I'm really irregular in lots of ways... took a giant nap this afternoon and missed some regular snack times too.

b: 2 egg omlette with spinach, red pepper, tomato, garlic; 1 piece whole grain toast w/ sf jam
l: 1/2c hamburger helper my roommate made... it reminds me of childhood, I couldn't resist, but at least I only had a tiny bit!
s: plain yogurt with strawberries
d: plan on making Moroccan Chicken and Zucchini with Couscous -- a recipe I just found because seriously all that's in the fridge is chicken, zucchini, and half a tomato! The recipe looks pretty good too
I'll probably end up having a pear-oats-cinnamon/crumble concoction for dessert, too... Not the best day, I must admit.

Would you guys like me to sticky this or let it be?

[britomart]

The old one used to be stickied..... Maybe resurrect that tradition?

[trnsfrmnreplace]

well of-course!

[britomart]

thanks trnsfrm!

dinner ended up being a big salad with a hardboiled egg, which was good because my roommate came home with a tub of icecream in a sharing mood Today went from a not great day to a pretty terrible day eating-wise.

Tomorrow, though, is a whole different story! I'm tellin' ya!

[britomart]

Here it is, 7am, and I'm going to plan. I have to stop messing myself up.

Breakfast: 1/2c kashi go lean, 1/2c 1% milk, 1/2 banana [3pts]
S1: orange and nf latte (or maybe just coffee -- am meeting a friend at Starbuck's) [3pts]
Lunch: carrots and wasa bread with hummus, salad with lf dressing, apple [6pts]
S2: couple of crackers with either a smear of pb or a little cheese [3pts]
Dinner: I'll plan for chicken and black bean soup and bread... but that may change. [5pts]

Everything will go as planned, and I will be right on track. That gives me a total of 20pts out of my possible 24, so I'll get to have popcorn or something crunchy in the evening

Last night was a total disaster! I waited until 9:00 pm to eat dinner and consumed 2-1/2 slices of home made cheese pizza w/carrots and ranch dressing. I’ve been having trouble staying on plan during dinner time. Today will be different!

[britomart]

Okay, let's try again.

b-2 pieces of toast with peanut butter (6)
l-pear, carrots and hummus, salad with dressing and lf cheese, slice of wasa (7)
s-orange, lf cheese and tomato on a flatbread (3)
d-ground turkey and black bean burrito/wrap thing with lots of veggies (6)

that makes 22 points planned for the day. I'm sure I'll eat the other 2 along the way!
