Planning for Wednesday August 2
 

Last nights dinner:
chunky chicken noodle soup; grilled cheese - and I didn't overeat even tho I was so hungry (it was so bad, it felt like someone stabbed me in the tummy)

B- piece of whole wheat toast with a very small amount of peanut butter with a bit of honey and sliced banana
S- coffee
L- salad with bacon bits, shrimp, balsamic dressing; crackers and salsa (might have this as a snack if I get hungry before lunch)
S- cherries
D- hmmmm not sure yet

4L of water and no exercise. An extra hour at work and a new puppy takes a lot out of you - I think the only exercise I will be getting in for the next while is 10 trips up and down the stairs everyday. I am doing my best to stay under 1500 calories - 1380 yesterday! woo!

Sotypical, what was the final decision on the name for your unbelievably cute puppy?

Here is my menu for Wednesday:

B - Flax Plus cereal with soy milk and blueberries
S - tea with splenda and soy milk (just got this new variety pack of African teas, it was a little pricey but the two varieties I've tried so far have been super yummy), fruit
L - ham sandwich: multi-grain bread, ham, laughing cow cheese, sage pesto, basil, tomato (if one is ripe), lettuce. cucumbers and cherry tomatoes
S - nutrition bar
S - fruit or possibly an English muffin
D - Treat meal--sushi! I love sushi and it is low in calories compared to ther restaurant food. I'm going to try to stay within my calories but I'm not going to worry about it too much. I haven't had a treat meal since mid-June.

Exercise: 1 hour with trainer

I decided yesterday that I wanted to call her Guava and I went home and told my boyfriend and he said if I called her that he would kick her out of the house (he later said he would kick me out of the house and keep the puppy!) - so yah, still no name :(

sotypical, I like guava (probably because I have a guava tree in my backyard)! But, I like lots of the other names that were suggested. I guess it's an important decision, you can't really change it once she learns it. It's good to give it a few days, maybe she'll do something that will make the name obvious. Keep us posted!

Glory, those quesadillas sound might good!
