Day #1

I'm doing 5 mini meals and 1 regular meal . I got this out of a magazine.
Today I ate:

1. Special  K and 1% milk - 7 A,M.

2. 2 oz. Tuna and 2 oz Carrot sticks - 10 A.M.

3. 15 almonds 1 P.M.

4. 4 oz. cottage cheese - 4 P.M.

* * 8 oz home made beef and veg. soup  - 7 P.M.

5. 6 oz sugar free yogurt - 9 P.M.

I didn't exercise today.

Good job, Judy!  Mmmmmm... Beef and Vegetable soup!

Breakfast -
1 scrambled egg
2 ounces of lean sausage

Lunch -
4 slices of shaved deli ham
4 slices of shaved extra lean deli ham
14 Flax seed tortilla chips

Dinner -
Fast Food (Jack in the Box) Grilled chicken strips
Side salad
Packet of low fat Balsamic vinegarette
I asked if I could have a side salad with a combo meal instead of fries and they didn't bat an eye.  Now most of you probably do this all the time, but I just had this flash of genius today for the first time.  Call me slow.

I've eaten 800 calories and 71 gram of protein so far and will have a snack later.  It'll probably be Cinnamon Streusel Frosted Mini Wheats.  24 pieces have 180 calories, 4 grams of protein, 12 grams of sugar and 5 grams of fiber.  It calms my sweet tooth and is very filling.  I can usually only eat 1/2 a serving.

Now I'm off to the exercise bike for a 1/2 hour.

i'm imaging breakfast cause i am having blood work done this morning,......ahhhhhhhh cereal

Good job, you two! I stuck to my plan - that's what's key for me, sticking to what I commit to. Here's what I had/did:
B: 1 LF cheese stick, 1 clementine
S: (can't remember - will have to update later when I get to my journal at work!)
L: tuna salad with veggies
S: Zone bar
D: protein shake

All my water, vitamins, did my workout on my lunch hour. Feel better this a.m. Thanks Buddies! M.

Celery and 1T peanut butter for snack, that's what it was! I'm down from 160 to 154. Will post later. Be well, all. Maureen

I mean 156 - down from 160 to 156 - sorry! M.

2 small lowfat turkey patties
decaf coffe with milk and splenda

Lunch:
Chilli with a couple crackers crumbled in it.
decaf coffee with milk and splenda

Snack:
South Beach Living High Protein Cereal Bar (Cinamon Raisin)

Dinner:
Don't know. Protein shake and not much else I dont think. Haven't been very hungry at night lately. It's usually opposit for me. I think I'm going to have the protein shake that you make Reenie. With the ice...but I'm going to use a banana. Which is a little bit more sugar but I LOVE bananna shakes with splenda and a little vanilla. Blend it all up in my big noisy blender. haha... gotta get that magic bullet! OH! thats what I could've told my hubby to get me!!! ah well. darnit. lol...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELIZABETH!   Hey everyone, Elizabeth is an OLD LADY (as of yesterday) - she's 35!!!   Ah, let's see if I can remember what life was like when I was 35... my kids were younguns and I was SOOOOOO FAT ... I had that hair-growing disease, you know when a woman grows all kinds of facial hair because of her obesity, what's that called????  Thank God that's in the past (after a year of electrolosis!). Okay, too much information - but good to remember how bad life was and how far we've come!!!! Good girl for your eating today - now just try to relax, commit to it, and try not to stray... and take a walk if you can! Big birthday hugs to you - Maureen
