I DID get my workout in last night and then some. I had a small spinach salad with a pinch of shredded cheddar and some light italian dressing. I also had a half a cup of low fat cottage cheese (my absolute favorite). I was finding that I was getting sluggish yesterday so this morning I bumped up my breakfast. I'm normally not a big breakfast eater, but I'm trying to retrain my body to need the food for energy in the morning instead of at night. So this morning I had:
2 pieces whole grain toast with 2 tbs of low fat peanut butter (300 cal)
Half cup Cottage Cheese (80 cal)
1/2 Protein Shake -- ran out of milk :/ (100 cal)
Small Clementine: (35 cal) For a total of 515. Phew.
I also did my 30DS (level 1 Day 2, so nothing major, but I am a non-exerciser, so this is pretty accomplished for me!)
Welcome Lovebirds, Kathryn & Blue!!
Look forward to getting to know you!
I am so excited about yesterday...I pushed my running intervals up to 1.5 minutes running and 3.5 min walking!! I will be able to run that mile (yes I will!!)
I hope all of you have an ABSOLUTELY fantastic day!

willow: yes you WILL be able to run that mile! Way to go! I remember when I ran my first mile without stopping and it was so exciting! Keep up the great work - alternating running with walking is the way to do it.
kathryn - nice job on the 30DS. A pretty intense work out for a nonexerciser!
I had a decent run yesterday especially considering that it has been a week since I've run - 3.1 miles on the treadmill, at an 11:45 minute/mile pace.
Today:
breakfast: 1/2 whole oats cooked in water topped with: 15 almonds, cinnamon, banana flavored protein powder (extra protein and sweetens it without adding sugar). 1 cup of hot skim milk with some instant coffee powder(maybe weird, but I actually like it better than real coffee and it has less caffeine the way I make it...)
lunch: Indian type dish with green beans, peppers, chickpeas, cashews over rice - hard to describe, one of those throw-together-what's-in-the-kitchen. Fairly small portion with water to drink.
afternoon snack: Luna Bar and I'll probably have an apple later on before dinner.
And getting lots of water in...several trips to the bathroom from my desk. I alternate running with lifting so I plan to get up to the gym tonight to lift. So glad I found this thread to keep on my track and give me the boost to get to onederland.
Fashin I see that you eat high fiber english muffins, too. Which ones do you get? I have been getting the Thomas Light Multi-Grain English Muffins. http://thomas.bimbobakeriesusa.com/p...upc/4812127620 I like them and think they taste good. DH thinks they taste like cardboard, LOL.

Since the little changes to my plan this week I have lost 3 lbs which I am very happy about (even though i'm sure it is just water weight) but I will take it!
Here is my 3/4/2010
B - 1 rye bagel with cream cheese + 1 banana
L - Chicken salad (3oz white chicken meat, 2 cups baby spinach, 1 tomato, 2oz light chedder cheese, 2tbsps each sunflower and pumkin seeds and cal. wise dressing) + 1 multi grain dinner roll + 1 yoghurt with flax
D - Not 100% sure yet - will be out tonight but planning on eating a salad with chicken or something
Drinking: 1 morning coffee + 2L water throughout the day (some with green tea)
Diana - mmmm Lobster! I absolutely love Lobster, there is a restaurant here in Toronto called "Lobster Royale" they have the best, fresh Lobster and the most amazinf Lobster Bisque!
Willow - wow that is A LOT of exercise, good for you
Diana, I can't remember the brand of English muffins but I'll check when I get home. They're 120 cals and I think they taste awesome I use them for everything from hamburger buns to garlic bread!
Lauren, congrats on the loss! Do you mind me asking what type of little changes you added to your plan?
3/4/2010 Check-in:
Breakfast
large cup of coffee w/ 1/2 & 1/2 and sugar
3/4 cup blueberry Special K cereal
1 cup 1% milk

Hee Hee, I hoping to sneak that by. I can totally go to a place called Lobster Royale. I just had to look their menu up and it does look good. My Mom gave us some extra money yesterday to go out to eat. She had also eaten at that same restaurant yesterday with her friend and she wanted us to be able to go too.
Willow Yes, you were burning up those calories! Great job!
Mama Does the yogurt freeze solid or is it like a slushie? It sounds like a great treat.
Diana, I didn't leave it in long enough to freeze solid so it was like a slushy, and it was really good. The flavors I had yesterday were Lemon Chiffon and Toasted Coconut. Both were really good. Today I've put Cherry Vanilla in the freezer and by the time I eat it I am sure it will be frozen solid, so I will let you know how it tastes. Cherry Vanilla is my favorite flavor so I'm hoping it's just as good frozen. I am using Light & Fit Yogurt (80 calories, no fat). I have tried freezing other kinds before and didn't like it.

Broccoli with cheese sauce
Light & Fit "frozen" yogurt
