  • Well, it's not very good planning to start this thread at almost 11 am now is it? But we still can! What's your eating plan for today? Did you pack your lunch? What for supper? Did you workout before work or do you have something else planned for later.
    Fail to plan, plan to fail!
    What's up today? And think about tomorrow. I'll do better getting that thread up in good time.
  • It is only 8am here - so I am good to plan still!

    Not sure what is happening today my ride to work (boyfriend's aunt who lives upstairs) FORGET to tell me that she wasn't going to work today. So I am stuck at the moment and not sure if I am going to work or if I can work from home today... but anyway - here is my plan for today / harder to stick to when I am at home tho! haha

    B- 1/2 kashi go lean crunch; skim milk; 1 piece 100% whole wheat toast with half a tablespoon peanut butter; banana (half on cerel and half on toast)
    L- either a salad with imitation crab meat, hot peppers, and fat free ranch dressing or a wrap made the same way
    S- yogurt mixed with cherrios (really starting to love this!)
    D- lean cusine... or I might make something since I won't be working

    Exercise- walking for 60 min, 30 min total ball work out
    Water- 2+ liters

    Going shopping for a new TV!!! (if I don't work today)
  • Hey new TV Kool!!!

    B-all bran with raisins
    s-snack bites and raisins
    L-soup, triscuits, peaches
    s- not sure maybe tuna or more raisins
    D- you all know the answer to that....I have no clue

    Walking 2miles for sure
    Weights 20mins for sure
  • A new tv will be great! The one we have right now is only 20" - we want at least 42" this time and are looking at maybe getting a plasma!! woo!
  • Well, I thought I was going to bike to the post office but it's drizzling and windy. So maybe not today.
    B- cream of brown rice with egg whites
    L- DD the bride-to-be is coming so tuna and salad, I think
    Supper will be chicken breast, DD's choice of vegetable and salad.
    I'll need my shake (whey protein and pineapple), some cottage cheese and yogurt for snacks.

    Since I can't bike, I think I'll do some dance type cardio and legs.
  • Breakfast - banana (woke up late & with a migraine )

    Lunch - pb on whole wheat, v8, 1 cup watermelon

    Dinner - 3 oz. roasted chicken breast, 1/2 cup green beans, 1/2 cup corn, romaine/spinach salad with tomato and light vinaigrette, 1 cup raspberries

    Snack: nectar protein powder, 1 cup yogurt

    Workout: 30 minutes kickbox, 30 minute strength circuit

    Hope everyone is having a great day. It's warm and beautiful here, the first taste of summer.
  • i had kashi cereal and 2% milk for breakfast

    a boiled egg and a string cheese for snack

    and a bit of wheat pasta and 2 little turkey meatballs for lunch.

    i have a yogurt and an apple if i get hungry later.

    dinner will be soup and some tortilla chips crunched in with a dollop of light sour cream.

    exercise today: 4 miles running
  • oh and what sucks is i am having a "fat" day...i didnt exercise yesterday and i ate poorly last night.
  • How did the race go? I have been haveing a fat weekend....only to get shocked with a 5lbs loss...
  • Oh Junebug- I am having a faaaat week son I hope your day gets better.

    But I'm trying to change things positively by planning and using this thread again. I am powerwalking a marathon in 4 weeks time (there's 15000 of us doing it around London in decorated bras so I need to make sure my body works properly by then- and doesn't scare anyone in the streets. So clean food and cranking up the exercise is the way forward

    Tomorrow will be:

    Apple
    Weights workout and 20 mins elliptical before work
    B: Rye crispbreads and hummous
    S: Apple
    L: Ham salad with soy nuts
    S: Smoothie
    7 mile walk
    D: Chicken breadt with spinach and peppers and quinoa pilaff.

    i had a hard time of it actually. it was hot and humid as all get out. the one downside of living on the coast here in Texas...I still did ok, but I didnt beat my old PR.

    I blogged about the race after i was done if you want full details!!!

    thank you for asking!

    i dont have another race till May 6th!

    how fun!! i start training for a 1/2 marathon July 1st, the race is actually end of October
  • I've been training since January and have done 18 miles (with the longest 24 mile one this weekend) I've just lost focus a bit as it feels like I've been doing it for so long. But not too long now! And once this is out of the way I'm going to start running too (doubt I'll be hitting any half marathons for a bit!)
  • June you and I have the same weather...I could not have done well in that eather....I know what you are talk about when you say "humid" I can not breath when it gets that way here...
  • Everyone on my running club tells me that its to be expected from now until mid-october. not to expect big things while running because of the weather.

    which is why there are hardly anything over a 5K in our area till then. I have a 10miler on Oct 1st which i am worried about because it might be cool or it could still be summer..you just never know!!!
