The Make a Plan and Stick to it Thread for Friday
 

Fail to plan, plan to fail!
What better way to head into the weekend full of confidence and enthusiasm than to have an excellent Friday under your belt.
What are you going to eat? Do you have your lunch packed? When are you going to exercise? Is the alarm set or are you walking at lunch?

I'm going right now to fix my lunch for tomorrow because I have no enthusiasm for food preparation at 6 am. I'll be back with a full plan in just a while.

B - 2 pieces of whole grain toast, natural peanut butter

S - Fage 2% Greek yogurt, sliced strawberries

L - left over sweet potato, quinoa, black bean quesadilla filling (made with onions, green chiles, tomatoes), used it to make soft tacos. 3 whole wheat tortillas, spinach leaves, a little cheese, tons of salsa

S - tall non fat sugar free latte

S - orange

S - cut up veggies

D - going out with a friend. Already had a big splurgey meal on Wednesday so will try to make a healthy choice. Maybe sushi?

So here I am thinking about what I am doing to have tomorrow and I remember I have some whole wheat pasta. So I look at it... 310 calories for 1/4 of a cup! THAT IS LIKE 5 NOODLES??? WTF? No wonder I never eat whole wheat pasta.... that is depressing.

Thanks for the boost, I'm going to pack my lunch right now ;)

How weird, mine is like 200 calories for 2 oz. I weigh it in the food scale dry. When I cook it, it plumps up a bit. I loooove lots and lots of sauce and I normally add spinach leaves too. Maybe you could add a little bit of grilled chicken to make it more satisfying?

My oats and egg whites are in a bowl in the fridge. All I have to do is pop them in the mic.
I have yogurt and fruit for first break.
I have cottage cheese,hard boiled eggs, carrots and radishes for lunch
I have more fruit and cottage cheese for second break.
But I don't know about supper. I think I have to buy something.

Depending on how busy work is, I might walk or bike tomorrow evening. I could do legs but I'm a weinie if I'm tired from work. We'll see.

Yah I could do that... but 5 noodles doesnt seem worth 310 calories to me.

Okay so they are Rotini noodles... I measure it 1/4 of a cup = 10-12 noodles.

Wow Courtnie that sucks!! Have you tried the barilla enriched rotini? For 1/8 of a pretty big box (don't know how many cups it makes) it is 200 cals, 4 grams fiber, 10 of protein. That sounds good for dinner tomorrow night. :T

Breakfast: egg scrambled with 1 oz 2% cheese, salsa
Lunch: 1 cup plain yogurt,mixed with 1 apple & cinnamon, 1 oz cheese
Dinner: pasta tossed with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp parmesan, romaine, vinaigrette, blueberries
Snack: protein shake, apple, 1 tbsp peanut butter, blackberries

Workout: 45 minutes tae bo, 10 minutes abs, 15 minutes cycling :ebike:

Have an awesome weekend girls!! :cool:

I love these daily Plan threads!

Breakfast: Slimfast (low sugar)

Lunch: Vegan gardenburger patty on 2 slices of bread with mustard

Snack: 100-calorie microwave popcorn bag

Dinner: Large baked potato and salad

30 minute walk with hubbie and dog. And, hey, does nooky count as exercise? ;)

Well this morning I was so dang tired getting out of bed that I just couldnt think...and I got home late from school therefore no lunch was made last night :(

I dont know how my day will go, but here is what I do know:

Breakfast: toasted bagel w/ jelly; scrambled eggs
Dinner: pasta with a bit of ham diced in it (i have a 5K in the morning if it isnt rained/stormed out)

The rest of the day is a crap shoot...I know I have a light yogurt and a pear still in the fridge here at work.

I have to drink tons of water today and I wont run tonight but will do some weights (upper body only; no leg work)

today sucks :(:(:(:(:(

Liv has a track meet today so meals will be messed up. I will eat well today though, I promised myself! My jeans feel looser after 2.5 pounds, is this possible already?

Ahhhhh it is like 20 to 7 and I have no idea what to eat at all today :( I read what everyone else is eating and I still don't know :(

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I got on the scale.... AND 198.6!!!!! I hope it stays that way all weekend (or even lower would be good too).

Okay - Think I got it now!

B- protien shake; frozen strawberries; canned peaches, 2 pieces whole weat toast; smoaked salmon cream cheese; coffee (with fat freen french vanilla cream and a tad of sugar)
S- peanuts (maybe!!!)
L- apple sauce; lean cusine
S- rice crackers; roasted red pepper dip; crab meat
D- baby carrots; salad (lettuce, tuna, fat free italian dressing); a nice soup (hopefully veggie if I can find a good one)

Water- 4+ liters
Exercise- 40 min treadmill (at least 25 min jogging); 20-30 min pilates (with ball and resistance band); 200 jumping jacks

NO eating after 8 tonight. I know it doesnt matter but I want a good weigh in tomororw. AND I am only allowing myself ONE can of diet pop tonight.

I am pulling out my hair right now....but I will be back later....I hope!
