Feb 2nd plan for a nearly perfect day
 

I'm jumping on the bandwagon for tomorrow because today was amazing!
I'm gonna stay below 1300 cals with good percents.
45 minutes of weights and since it's supposed to be nice out, I'm going to go for a long walk.
Plan it out folks. It works!

Let's try again! I'll start positive (I'm baking right now, so I'm in a good mood). I need to push the water. That's my weakness...and chocolate but hey...

B : A mini bagel, ham, egg and cheese sandwich; 1 ruby red grapefruit 20 oz (or more) of water.
S : Strawberry organic yogurt and 12 oz (OM) of water. We're going to the doctor, so I'll resist those vending machines! Water, water, water!
E : It's nap time for babies! I'll either take a brisk walk or play 10 minutes of DDR then finish the some homework.
L : Lean Cuisine Cheese Ravioli, mug of cocoa made with water.
S : 1 blood orange. WATER.
E : Hubby will be home. Some more DDR? Gotta put that mat to good use!
D : Baked chicken breast with parmasan cheese, steamed veggies and rice cooked in chicken broth. I'll skip on the dessert, since we have a party to go to.
D : Party fare. Some alcohol? I'll try to stay away. Definitely a few pieces of the shortbread I'm baking at the moment. I'm going to bring WATER with me, and some hard candies to keep my mouth occupied.

I'll stick to this! That puts me at 1700 calories (should FitDay be believed).

Planning does work Susan.
 

Between 1200 - 1400 calories
45 minutes of cardio
60 oz of H2o

I think I went a little too crazy at the grocery store, and bought too many vaggies. I hope they don't go bad. Can I freeze lettuce, spinach, cabbage?

Breakfast: cottage cheese and some fruit
Lunch: lentil soup (2nd day of leftovers, LOL) and salad
Snack: Celery and homemade hummus
Dinner: leftover turkey and brown rice, and some veggie

I've been avoiding caffiene, but I am craving a cup of coffee. I might have one tomorrow.

Ok Susan....here we go
B-protein shake
s-apple
L-turkey sand. whole wheat bread
s-slimfast snackbar
S-Porkchops boneless some kind of vegg and mac&cheese(for my son...lol)

weights lifting
I hope I can get my walk in..
ADD MORE WATER!!!!!!!

Zoe--I would assume you could freeze any veggies you are going to cook, but I would be skeptical about freezing veggies that you plan to use raw. I think this because I use frozen chopped spinach all the time, so I'm sure you could freeze it, but if you were to try to thaw it to use raw, I bet it would be icky :p

I posted in yesterday' thread about how I BEYOND stuck to my plan yesterday--feels great! As for today:

• yogurt
• Morningstar Farms garden veggie burger on wheat bun w/spinach and Miracle Whip
• cup of Campbell's chicken & stars soup
• Subway 12" chicken teriyaki on honey oat (no cheese)
• 2 Subway cookies

All together, comes to a little below 1700 calories :)

Breakfast - bowl of low carb special k w/ raspberries, cup of coffee

Snack - cottage cheese, pear

Lunch - Chicken chowder soup, cherry tomatoes

Snack - half a whole wheat bagel, light cream cheese

Dinner - leftover chicken and biscuits, cauliflower

Water - 2 liters

Exercise - cardio night 45 mins on elliptical

I'd like to take in no more than 1600 calories today. Yesterday was going good on the food intake until I finished off the rest of the Toblerone bar that was in my fridge. Oh well, no more chocolate in the house now so at least I won't have that tonight.

You cannot freeze lettuce.

Spinach can be frozen AFTER it's cooked, but don't let it sit too long before using because it's gets freezer-burned real easily.

I've never tried freezing cabbage. Why don't you use the cabbage to make some lowfat coleslaw? Or shred it up in the food processor and add it to a big pot of homemade vegetable soup? I just bought a head of cabbage myself, we're having pork and cabbage stew for Sunday dinner.

Good work folks! Now stay in touch!
Leigh? vegetables!
LynneA? protein!
CoolMom75? you can freeze cabbage but it'll only be good for soup. It actually keeps pretty well just as it is.

:wave: The plan for today (It's a 2000kcal day)

Brekky - protein pancake with banana

Meal #2 - mixed nuts & raisins and cottage cheese on a pita bread (wholewheat)

Meal #3 - chicken and bacon salad

Meal #4 - avocado and yoghurt

Meal #5 - protein shake & pear and possibly some sugar snap peas

Exercise - double kickboxing with the PINK GLOVES! :D

Did really well yesterday apart from a bite of Snickers and I think I ate a chocolate in my sleep :yawn: but apart from that, a nearly perfect day! :lol:

I've had my shake ... mixed berries today ... and just any minute now I'm gonna get up from this darn computer and go for a walk. Really, I am.

May I join in despite my critique the other day? :sorry:

B: Kashi Go Lean cereal with 3 oz. skim milk.

L: Baked boneless/skinless chicken breast layered with fresh baby spinach and mashed cauliflower on the side.

Snack: Don't know yet.

D: Lean Cuisine bagged meals, the chicken teriyaki. Has chicken, rice and veggies, plus I'll have a lowfat vegetable egg roll.

That puts me at about 916 calories, which doesn't include my mid-afternoon snack. I shoot for about 1200-1300 calories a day. So once I have my snack and probably a few peanuts tonight, I'll reach my calorie limit.

Yes you may join in ... but only if you promise to have a very healthy snack instead of the "don't know yet" :)

lol, okay :)

I was thinking of baby carrots and fat-free cottage cheese.

Perfect!
