Such a load of reading to do!! I am all caught up for now it seems so here we go. We are do for another snow storm, can you believe this?! Storm warning in effect and we are expecting 15-20 cm over night followed by 15 mm of rain Wednesday morning. The kids will probably get the day off from school again so that leaves me housebound with 5 kids! I trust this is the last one of the season. Sheesh, it *is* officially spring, ya know!
I exercise 6 days a week and yesterday was so full I didn't get any in, although I had planned on it...therefore my one day off is already spent! Oh well....gotta have a good attitude about this!
We took the kidlettes out to dinner last night as the third and final birthday celebration for dd. We went to a Chinese Food Buffet at her request. I did very well because they had a decent selection. I stuck to shrimp, some ribs without coating and veggies. Still weighing in at 165 today so I didn't do any damage it seems. Of course tomorrow is WIW so my possessed scale will undoubtedly scheme and add a pound like it always does..we shall see!
JUDY- Seems to be a lot of SB'ers say that the extra vitamins are not needed because we are supposed to be eating a balanced diet with this WOE. That might be true, but as long as one does not overdose, I don't think it hurts. I take a multi vitamin and mineral supplement, calcium (my mom has osteoporosis), potassium (Because I was getting leg cramps and they stopped when I started potassium) and I just recently started taking a low dose B vitamin one that has a variety of the B's in it. Out of our family members, I get sick the least. I also noticed that my nails are longer and stronger than before I took vitamins ( I started about 6 months ago) so overall I am pleased and think they do me good.
NASCAR GIRL-Maybe you could add some protein powder if your carbs and fat intake are perfect and you only need the protein. I made a kind of smoothie creation the other day using some milk, some yogurt, all fruit spread and the protein powder...it wasn't bad at all. It had 18 grams of protein, no carbs and only 0.2 grams of fat. Oh...the other thing I love to eat is fish. I fry some sole up with a wee bit of spray and there you have practically fat free and totally carb free protein source.
Gotta go...one kidlette is crying and it is nap time!
