A New Month - A New Menu - March 1st
 

I'll start:

Breakfast: well I think there is one leftover slice of french toast in the fridge which I might have w/decaf coffee.

Snack: 1 orange

Lunch: Probably soup?

dinner; - who cares? Some leftover chicken in fridge - I think I have a roast in downstairs fridge not sure if I am up to making it. Might just stop at grocery store on the way back from therapist appt and pick something up (frozen pizzas - for the kids, and fresh strawberries on sale!).

I hate staying home cuz I'm sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frouf:)

B ww pnut butter toast (pts.)
skim milk
coffee

L big salad w/ hard cooked egg ff dressing
apple
S popcorn

D 0 pt. vege soup w/ saltines ( pts.)
S shredded wheat/ skim milk

Happy day to all!!! I'm having a mini-meltdown (what's new???) and today started off poorly so ...

B: Egg, cheese, ham sandwich on the way to work (Breakfast Jack), small coke
(Drinking a Dr Pepper right now...)
L: More of that chicken salad with the pineapple, etc., and a glass of milk
Sn: SF/FF cheesecake pudding
D: Blackened grilled Gorton's fish fillet (very good), a salad, and a glass of milk

And lots of water

Angela

B: Banana/chocolate smoothie

L: grilled chicken, green beans, fresh fruit cup

S: apple

D: steak marinated in FF Italian dressing, corn on the cob, either broccoli or a baked potato.

Breakfast: Farina made with skim

Lunch: Sirloin burger and fresh fruit

Dinner: Salad, broccoli, Cola Chicken and Baked Potato

Snack: SF/FF Lemon Pudding (It was VERY good)

Okay guys scrutinize these menus for me for the next week, lets see where I might be going wrong.

B - large bowl oatmeal with half banana and tsp. p. butter (pt) - coffee
S - bowl of 15 grapes
L - one and half cups of beef/barley soup, half cup ff sf jello, more grapes (maybe 20)
coffee
D - chicken stir fry with not very much chicken in it.
S - small half cup of pudding and a piece of fruit.

At least 7 glasses of water in the day and maybe tea in addition.

Kally, good news is that your quantities don't seem bad! But.....there is always a but.....I think you are light on your veggies. You're getting 3 1/2 fruits (which I think is kind of alot) and not much veggies that I can see besides what is in the stir fry. I'd have a salad with dinner and skip one of the fruits. I also only see 1/2 serving of milk and you need two every day. Are you getting your 2 teaspoons of healthy oil every day.

What about the hated word after water.....exercise. Are you getting any? If you are close to your goal this may be one of the only ways to get there.

Okay, so my menu changed a little:

B ww toast w/ pnut butter (3pts.)
skim milk 1/2 glass (1 pt.)

L salad w/peas, cheese, onion, ff dressing (2pts)
baked potato w/ a little butter (4 pts.)
water

Sn banana (2 pts.)

D - 0 pt. vege soup
5 saltines (1 pt.)

2 coffees (2pts.)

Okay, so that came to 15 pts., I guess maybe I should have some shredded wheat or something to get in some more pts.

thanks
lots of exercise and lots of water.
Will hold down the fruit, but the soup is homemade and FULL of vegetables. I will up that some more.
I get yogurt in the morning, but maybe I had better add milk or yogurt at night.
Thanks for your ideas. Anyone else?

stir fry will be with rice tonight too.

kally,

i don't have my book with me........but, can you have oatmeal, barley and rice all in the same day? i'm with vickie, if i am at a standstill, i have more veggies then fruit just because of the sugar in the fruit!

my menu:

b: w.w. toast
s: cheese, grapes
L: cottage cheese, carrots
S: yogurt
Supper, meatloaf.......

i am not a milk drinker but make up for it with cheeses and yogurt although today i overdid it.... :(

I'm pretty sure you can have rice or potatoes in one day and you can have hot cereal too. Barley is another grain and I think that is okay too. Perhaps, though, it is too much for me.

small adjustment

Instead of pudding for dinner dessert I had a piece of that crustless pumpkin pie that is core. Very good, a bit of egg and milk and a milky coffee.

Trying to keep it clean and honest here.

Kally, WONDERFUL! Doncha just LOVE that crustless pumpkin pie? By the way, potatoes/rice/pasta are restricted to once a day. You may still have any of the other starches in the same day (barley, oatmeal, polenta, etc). Woo Hoo! Gotta love this plan.
