I thought we'd give this a try. I know for me the key to staying on plan is to well actually have one. I basically eat the same things every day with very little variance, that's what works for me. But for others I know that's not the case. I thought this would just be an opportunity to bounce ideas off one another and give us all some accountability. So here goes:

Breakfast - 1/2 cup Kashi Go LEan cereal mixed with 1/2 cup Fiber One Cereal
Lunch - I'm headed out, not sure when I'll be back, if I'm back in time 3 cups of cooked cauliflower and one Morning Star Farms Chick Patty if not I took a cup of Kashi Go Lean Cereal with me til tide me over and we'll see what happens.
Dinner - Grilled chicken cutlets, topped with sliced broiled tomatoes. Roasted green beans, zucchini and garlic
Snacks - Fat free yogurt with some Fiber One mixed in. Raspberries. Some dry cereal. 15 calorie ices. Baby carrots.

Lots of water

Exercise - walking, dancing/aerobics, sit ups

I ll do this but I am not that much of a planner, that is to say I don't really plan out Lunch and dinner, I have an idea what it might be and if it sounds good I will eat it. So here goes my day :
Water, water and more water
Exercise : I did 31 minutes on the elliptical( didn't want to do the 31 almost stopped at 12 minutes, but once I got to 15 minutes, I figured I could do 24 then I did 28, and finally stopped at 31 minutes, I also did about 14 minutes of what I call general exercises, I do leg lifts, leg bends, sit ups( I can do 10 with a weighted ball), crunches, ect..
and I do 14 minutes lifting free weights.

Breakfast: was 5 ounces of grapefruit juice, about 7 blackberries and Kashi Go lean instant oatmeal
Lunch : 2 smart dogs ( veggie hot dogs), mustard, I am not sure if I will have bread or not.
Dinner: I have to go out tonight, so dinner for me will be easy to make, probably an amy's bean and rice burrito with salsa and some fresh tomatoes and avocado
Snacks: I have fruit in the house( plums, peaches, mangos), I also have those kashi Tlc bars, yogurt, and fat free fudge bars, so I will be eating some things from this list, of course onot all of it .
I don't know about you guys but if I don't eat at a good calorie intake ( 1400-1500) for the day, I feel horrible, grouchy, tired, ect.. so I usually eat 2 -3 snacks aday.

Snack - 1 small packet rice snacks,

Dinner - Chicken stirfry - chicken, onion, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, frozen mixed veg and either steamed rice or noodles

[traci in training]

Breakfast - fruit & fibre bar, yoplait yogurt
Snack - apple cereal bar, grapes
Lunch - salad with fresh moz cheese, veggies, soy nuts
Snack - bing cherries, blueberries
Supper - grilled squash, grilled chicken, broccoli in some form.
Snack - frozen fruit bar or some sherbet

I like writing it all out because it makes me realize how much food I can eat for 1200 calories if I choose the right foods.

Probably a trip to the Y since it's getting pretty darn hot out. Otherwise, two - three mile walk/run. I need to lift more often but I get more scale satisfaction from the cardio. Of course, the weight lifting is good for the scale long-term, but I love instant gratification!

Girls, I'm thinking maybe we should combine this with the Daily accountability thread? Anyway -

B - Kashi Go Lean, Fiber One, skim milk
L- Cauliflower and Chick Patty
D - Huge, GIGANTIC stir fry with zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, spinach, green beans,broccoli and cauliflower. With either chicken breast in it or an egg white omlette on the side
I may reverse lunch and dinner - I'm so spontaneous like that sometimes.
S - Dry cereal, strawberries, baby carrots, fat free yogurt, 15 calorie ices

Lots of water.

Exercise - abs - done, dancing/aerobics -done, walking, stretching

Have a great on plan day everyone.

We're going to combine the accountability thread with this planning/ menu thread. So I'm going to close this thread up. Please find the newly titled Accountability/Planning/Menus/July 2 -8 and post there.

Hope to see you all there.
