It's good to see so much variety and veggies! Keep it up ladies
Today I will take 1 1/2 hours of Yoga, swim for 1/2 and hour and then enjoy the sauna and steam rooms (not "exercise" exactly but a nice reward for staying on program).
I am eating the following:
Brown rice with vegetable juice, tomatoes, carots, peas, celery, onions, garlic and olive salsa
2 pieces ciabatta bread
Salad of green apples, raspberries, purple cabbage, sliced almonds, dried cranberries, orange juice, lemon juice and agave nectar
1 cup tempeh and 3 cups veggies (bok choy, cauliflower, carrots, broccoli and garlic)
Beet, celery, carrot and ginger juice
1 cup soy milk
1 cup calcium-fortified orange juice with hemp protein powder
Had a pretty horrible weekend as far as eating too little and drinking too much. I'm doing great on week days but I'm going to have to work harder on getting the weekends under control. A little treat now and then is OK, but I'm letting it slide too much. (Reminder to self: 2 beers is OK. A six-pack at once is not. 2 glasses of wine is OK. The whole bottle at one sitting is not. Repeat until you get this straight!!)
Moving on...
B: Kashi w/skim milk
s: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 pear
L: the salad mix for the week: romaine, and slaw mix consisting of shredded broccoli, green and red cabbage and carrots. Topped it today with sliced turkey and ff ranch dressing. 1 apple.
s: 1 serving whole-grain wheat thins (16 crackers), carrot & celery sticks
D: chili made w/extra-lean ground beef, kidney beans, rotel and a package of chili seasoning mix. 1 glass skim milk.

Thank you EllyMay....it felt really good to see the numbers drop...And way to stay positive. When you dont see a difference it can be hard so looking at it from a positive approach is great!!!!!

l-1 c broc, ww pasta, 1 c spinach, carrots, snap peas, 15 shrimp, 1 tbsp pho sauce

Today, I had passionfruit, mango and orange juice with hemp protein powder and a slice of "Woman's Bread" (an organic bread that has 6 grams of protein per slice)
3 cups romaine lettuce, 1/4 c. slivered almonds, 3 oz. veggie "chicken", 1 T Oriental dressing, 1/2 c. shredded cabbages, 1/2 cup brown rice, 2 fresh veggie spring rolls (raw) with 1 T. hosin peanut sauce and 2 bites of "drunken noodles" (spicy rice noodles)
B: 1 slice deli ham, 1 slice ff cheese on whole wheat English muffin, 1 glass skim milk

D: I really have no idea...either a salad or some leftover chili or maybe a little of both. (Not the least bit hungry at the moment.) So, should I force myself to eat or just wait until I want to? Probably wouldn't hurt me to skip it, since I know I'm going to eat plenty tomorrow. Then again, eating frequently is better for the metabolism...decisions, decisions.
