    Love this thread!

    My lunch is half-packed ... leftover pasta is already in a container, and I have a leftover salad in the refrigerator at work.

    I'm having plain yogurt mixed with fruit, nuts, and cereal for breakfast. EDIT: Had 1 pc peanut-butter toast, some grapes, and a cup of coffee w/cream.

    EDIT: Morning Snack = 1 sesame bar
    Afternoon Snack - 1T pecans/driedcranberries/driedcherries


    I walk every morning and after work for about 20 minutes each time. I might even do some hula hooping or belly dance when I get home tomorrow night. EDIT: Ended up driving today so I didn't get the walk in, but I might be able to walk at lunch or after work.
  • My lunch is packed because I'm at work... I'd be up queer street if I didn't have my lunch!

    This morning I had toast with jam (jelly) and a protein-heavy protein shake

    Meal #2 is a lean bacon sandwich

    Meal #3 is porridge with an egg and banana

    Meal #4 is a cottage cheese pancake with blueberries

    Meal #5 is 5 thin slices of turkey on a wholewheat pitta with salad

    Perhaps if I get hungry, then meal #6 will either be haddock and veggies and a few potatoes or a cottage cheese pancake if I can't be bothered to cook!

    I just realised when I typed out my meals for the day how much bread I'd planned! I've now subbed a pitta for some porridge at lunch, so that's a bit of damage limitation! I suppose I shouldn't have had bread for brekky, but I was a bit slow off the mark this morning! Also for snacks between meals I have a HUGE fruit basket on my desk that's bursting at the seams! I must actually EAT some of it!

    Exercise wise, it's ripping up those quads and hammies in the gym for at least a good hour, then a yoga class, then BED!
  • I think this thread would just make me too eager for my Dinner. XD
  • Aha 2frus ... it helps to type it all out doesn't it?
    Phantastica ... a good plan has to be flexible, right? You can always slip some of that walking in later. Good plan.
    Tomei ... I love food. I look forward to todays everymeal

    And for me
    oatmeal and egg white for breakfast.
    I'm short vegetables lately, I should have some with that left over chicken for lunch
    I think supper will be salmon and salad
    In betweenies will be yogurt, fruit, cottage cheese and maybe my shake.

    I should bike soon because it's clouding over and weights are back and biceps.

  • I had a PR (personal record) 2 weeks ago...did it in 32:56, and I HOPE to even shave off 30 sec to 1 minute tomorrow would be great!!!
  • Go for it June....I know you will do great...

    I am not sure about the fitday thing....I have not been doing my fitday...Slap on the hand for me!!!
  • *SLAP!*

    hope that wasn't too hard!
  • Blah on today.

    Grits and 2 egg whites for breakfast
    Leftover chicken and dumplings for lunch

    And I feel like a blob. I'm tempted to not eat anymore at all.
  • Hey Linda;

    I am feeling kinda blobby today myself. Looks my stomach is sticking out farther.. I feel fatter then normal. And my tummy is even kinda sore. I put on some nice jeans and decided I looked fat and gross and they hurt my tummy cuz it was sticking out so far. So I wore some nice comfy black dress pants instead... and they made me look skinny! wooo!

    Just eat healthy! Drink lots of water. I try and stay away from diet sodas on days I feel like this - I find they make it worse!
  • WHAT is it with fat days anyway??? God how I hate them!

    I had it 2 days in a row this week, but woke up this morning just fine...
