I've been MIA from these planning threads...I went from being sick to being insanely busy (worked over 40 hours by the end of the day Wednesday last week, my sister had her baby, so I drove the 3.2 hours each way to go visit them in the middle of the week, drove 2 hours each way to go visit my boyfriend's ill grandmother this past weekend...). In any case, I'm back to a normal schedule (during the week, anyway, as we'll be heading to see the new baby again this coming weekend) and normal health, so back to normal planning!

Here's today's food forecast:

• Kashi Heart to Heart cereal w/banana and skim milk
• oatmeal
• red pepper and tomato soup w/croutons
• SmartOnes - Thai chicken with rice noodles
• orange chicken and broccoli

Probably no intentional exercise today, but I'll burn a few calories going to the store, doing laundry, doing dishes, cooking dinner, etc., after work.

Lynne - I love Shepherd's Pie! But I've never actually made it, I've just had it at restaurants. I'm not sure why I never make it.

B - oatmeal with soy milk
S - coffee or tea with splenda and milk
L - not sure, probably an ethnic gourmet frozen meal and some leftover soup
S - protein brownie
S - NF yogurt with wheat germ and blackberries
D - not sure, depends on whether or not I get to the grocery store this afternoon.

Exercise: one hour with trainer

I saw a recipe in my weight watchers magazine for sheppards pie and have wanted it ever since as well, haha. I think I will buy the stuff for it this week

Jill - congrats on the new family member!!!
