    S- yogurt; thinsations

  • Okay, today went to H***. Went out to dinner for sushi with a friend, which I was excited about because sushi can fit into my calorie limit easily. Well...we ended up splitting a couple of rolls that included fried stuff (unagi and a spider roll). Then we went to a blues jam thing where I had a glass of wine. Then to a bar where I had another glass of wine and we split an order of polenta fries (so good, but so high in calories)! I'm home now and having another glass of wine and some mini peanut butter cups. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and here's the plan:

    B - Go Lean cereal with soy milk
    S - coffee or tea with splenda and milk, maybe an apple
    L - brussels sprouts with ham and onion; salad of pea shoots, strawberries, cucumbers, sea salt, lemon pepper, and balsamic vinegar; maybe some papadum chips
    S - not sure, either a hard-boiled egg or protein brownies if I get around to making them (good thing protein powder doesn't go bad )
    S - NF yogurt with blackberries and wheat germ
    D - lentil stew (love this!); green salad
    S - low cal pudding and mini meringues

    Exercise: cardio in the gym--blah (15 min stair machine, 25 min elliptical, 15 min treadmill, 15 min abs). I was hoping to going swimming but it's just not going to work out with my schedule. I can't get to the pool in the morning (before all the kiddies show up) because I have to participate in a 5-HOUR CONFERENCE CALL --darn work getting in the way of my exercise.

  • Barbara, you're being too hard on yourself. You're really tiny already and you've practically reached a very ambitious goal so maybe you should allow yourself to just live and enjoy food and drink once in a while. There is nothing wrong with that at this point in your journey as you're practically there and you'll get there soon regardless of a few pleasureable meals or snacks. To me, what you had is extremely virtuous and is basically how you're average run-of-the-mill thin/healthy person would eat when out with a friend and home after a few drinks (and they don't do it nightly or daily and neither will you).
  • kashi go lean hot cereal w/ cup blackberries
    bobolli pizza crust w/ bruschetta sauce & part skim mozzerella
    baked chicken breast in barbeque marinade, 1/2 cup white rice
    FF yogurt w/ 2 tablespoons walnuts
    FF yogurt

    That adds up to 1192 calories. I'm sure I'll be hungry for more but not sure what I'll have; will be traveling this weekend so hope I can stay on track.
  • Yesterday, I did awesome. I ate what I said I was going to eat and I got a workout in. I didn't get all my points in though. If I follow todays plan, I'll be good with points.

    b - kashi waffles, strawberries, 1 T syrup. I was really hungry this morning so I also got in a banana-milk smoothie

    s - yogurt

    l - homemade tomato soup, turkey and muenster sandwhich, zucchini strips, ww choc cake

    s - ff choc. pudding

    e - strength again
    e - I want to get to the gym and try to at least do 30 min on the elliptical, but I've been getting home so late, lately. don't know if I'llmake it today.

    d - baked chicken w/ 1 T pasta sauce and 1 T parmesan, zucchini (can't get enough lately), rice

    de - 1/2 c sherbert (maybe, if its not too late)
  • Breakfast - fruit smoothie: 13 strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 banana, 1/2 cup ff yoghurt, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder. This really is the best breakfast ever I could eat it every day.

    Snack - 1/2 whole wheat bagel, 1 tbls peanut butter

    Barbara - Mami is right you are being too hard on yourself. You have done great and today is a new day .

    Bless you, Mami and Lynne!

    I'm just a little frustrated because I'm actually up about 4 pounds over what my profile says. I refuse to update it because I'm convinced I can lose them (and updating it feels like admitting defeat) but I've had a bunch of setbacks lately, some my own fault and some I had no control over. I just wasn't planning to be so off-plan yesterday (really, you have no idea how many of those little mini peanut butter cups I ate!) But, you're right, I don't do that very often and I probably shouldn't get so worried about it.
