Solidarity Sisters: New Day, New Plan

  • Alright, so the ONE thing that keeps me on track is PLANNING. Tomorrow morning, when my stomach is growling, and I'm searching the cupboards for breakfast, and my stepsister's sugary cereal is eyeing me like a candied devil... I'm going to appreciate the fact that I planned out what I was going to have the night before.

    And so, I propose that this thread is for ladies who want to make the plans in advance. What are you going to eat tomorrow? Then report back. What DID you eat? Tell us if you cheated, and get support. Tell us if you stayed on track to get praise! Keep accountable! Everyone can participate!



    Let's Begin!

    ************************************************** **
    My Monday -- Yesterday was high-calorie with movie popcorn, so Monday will be a bit lower. Zig-zag styling.

    Breakfast [245 calories]
    • Banana - 100 calories
    • 1 cup of cereal - 120 calories
    • 1/4 cup skim milk - 25 calories

    Lunch [375 calories]
    • Thai Lemon Chicken with Rice - 375 calories
    • Diet Gingerale - 0 calories

    Snack [200 calories]
    • 5 (cardboard) Rye Crackers - 100 calories
    • 5 tablespoons of 95% fat-free cream cheese - 100 calories

    Dinner [450 calories?]
    Living at home, so my family may make dinner. But my plan is to make myself extra steamed vegetables if my family doesn't make any/enough, and fill up on those, and skip on the carb portion of dinner. My family is very... meat + carb + vegetables.

    So, I'd guess:
    Dinner: 450 calories
    • Vegetables - 150 calories (tops)
    • Meat - 300 calories depending on the kind.

    Calories for the day: 1270
  • Why not. I usually plan stuff out in the mornings, not the night before, but this can be done! (red means I ate them already)

    Monday - 26 points today

    Breakfast
    Trader Joe's Oatmeal - 2 points
    Vitamin Water 10 - 1 point (not really, but it keeps me honest)
    Luna bar - 3 points


    Lunch
    Turkey Sandwich w/ black bean dip - 5 points
    Cucumber - 0 points
    Sugar snap peas/snow peas - 0 points
    Fruit Salad - 1 points
    Edamame - 2 points

    Dinner
    Chicken Breast - 4
    Brown Rice - 4
    Steamed Vegetables - 0

    I have 21 planned out, but I might have more fruit than I planned for or have a snack after dinner. I like leaving myself a little leeway in case something comes up (or I NEED a piece of chocolate).
