  • Morning.

    Well, I've had a rotten past few days. Sick over the weekend, didn't eat too well. Yesterday was just awful, bad day at work, had a small car bump, etc.etc.

    Today hasn't started off great either, forgot my keys to get into the office so had to wait outside for 30 mins till my co-worker showed up. Oh and my lights have gone out on my car so I'm driving our 12 year old tank like truck.

    Today I will eat:-

    Breakfast - special k w/raspberries, 1% milk, tea

    Snack - half a wholewheat bagel, cream cheese, baby carrots

    Lunch - grilled chicken salad w/light dressing

    Snack - half a wholewheat bagel with banana and peanut butter

    Dinner - chilli w/brown rice

    Water - 2 liters

    Exercise - missed the gym yesterday so tonight I'll be doing 30 mins cardio then 45 mins of circuit training w/weights.
  • Let's see, today so far.....

    B: Hash brown patty (these patties are not pre-deepfried, they're just straight frozen shredded hash browns, 60 cals each) 'fried' in fat-free cooking spray, 2 strips Morningstar Farms bacon, 8 oz. skim milk.

    L: Tuna Patty (made with one whole 6 oz. can tuna) Green Giant creamed spinach in lowfat sauce, 4 oz. fat-free cottage cheese.

    S: Some more veggies, not sure which yet.

    D: Morningstar Farms Chicken Patty on a whole wheat 'lite' bun. Not sure yet what I'm having with it.

    Most of my protein source today comes from soy products and the tuna.
  • (((hugs)))) Lynne! I hope your day gets better. Good for you sticking to your plan, though.


    My plan today:

    breakfast: cottage cheese, beets
    Lunch/snack:huge salad, pea soup
    Dinner: Salmon, spinach, brown rice, WW toast
  • I'm late! Poor planning? But now's as good a time as any to start planning.
    I have a cold too Lynne. I don't get sick very often and really don't like it. I tried the treadmill yesterday and started coughing after two minutes. I'm a bit cautious today.
    I blew yesterday food wise very badly. That will not happen today.
    I've had my shake. Pineapple, peach and melon today.
    I have left-overs for my fella's so I think I'll have salmon for supper.
    I don't know about the rest. I'm not hungry. I do have some left over brussel sprouts that might be nice with cottage cheese a litle later.

    Zoe? what's your protein percentage?

  • Thanks for the Coolmom I needed it!

    Today has gone well so far, I weighed in for the first time since I started my new plan (Jan 16th) and I've lost 6 lbs so I'm thrilled about that.

    I did discover though today that I probably need to lay off the Paul Newman's Light Raspberry & Walnut salad dressing, had it on my chicken salad and I feel sick as a dog now. I can still smell it too, making me feel nauseous .

    My weight loss revelation of today is making me feel very encouraged about the gym tonight.
