On Track Team

Wow... I am so happy to see so many of u posting yesterday. Looks like we are working to get ourselves on track again. So I dont drink coffee so I dont understand the attraction. Can you only drink coffee and not eat or is coffee somehow a meal..lol.. I see a lot of coffee drinkers in the group. Today lets work on getting that protein in and getting all our meals in.. a starving body keeps the body from loosing.. Vitamins- done water- working on it but not a problem Food- B- protein shake (like i should talk) S- small banana L- busy busy day so I will probably grab a grilled chicken breast from someplace as I travel. S- cheese D- more chicken.. didnt make it last night so it will be tonight. Goal- Today I gotta drive to LA in the rain.. yuck.. ppl in cali dont know how to drive in the rain. A trip that should take 40 minutes is gonna take me about 2 1/2 hours. I am so not looking forward to it. So my goal.. to grin and bare it.. get it over with and do what needs to be done.. crying now.. i hate driving in the rain.

OK gotta question. You put "Vitamins-done" does that mean you have already taken all of your vitamins? or done... like no problem with that done??? OK here's my take on coffee. I really enjoy it and I know it has no nutritional value but the warm creamy taste on a cold snowy morning is just what I need to get my day started. Right now I am out of it... but I use OptiSource Carmel Protein Drink as a creamer and its 6 grams of protein for 2 oz and if I have 2 cups of coffee that is 12 grams. Surely not as wise as a protein shake but it is just too cold for me to have a protein shake in the am. Oh, did I mention I dig the caffine buzz too. B-2 cups of cofee-0 S- Multi-grain toast-4gr L- will have a burrito-15 D- no idea Water- gotta work on it. I made my water goal yesterday Exercise- gonna go to the gym after work Goal- eat a high protein dinner- ok pretty boring goal but looking at the above numbers... I gotta make sure I get in the protein. Kristen

Makes me happy knowing that you use a protein powder in your coffee.. I am not good at breakfast either but need that protein so I do the shake with milk.. at least its something. I use sparkpeople to do my food everyday. I usually get in about 80+ grams of protein a day. because i plan my meals I know if i need to add something to get more in. it really helps me to plan them out so I stay on track during the day.

Ok I LOVE Coffee, BUT! I put Micellar milk in it about 1/3, it has 40Grms of protein and vitamins in it so at least its better than nothing. so that what I had this morning with 1/3 of a protein brownie S= pork rinds L=left over green chili chicken stew d= will be at sweet tomatoes vitamins and fluids going in treadmill 30 to 45 min

B:south beach bar 19gr L:roast beef sand 22gr S: some cheese7gr or cottage cheese dbl 10gr D:chick salad 32gr water: 80oz already vitamins: done:'p exercise: I will be walkin around the mall endlessly with my 16yr daughter lookin for a pagent dress she needs by monday.

Vitamins: Done Fluids: 18 ounces in and 24 ounces being worked on now! Food is giving me a problem lately, i just want to grab and go! Pre-Breakfast: cup of coffee w/milk and (4) ritz crackers at 4am so 2 gr protein Breakfast: 2 ounces of pistachio nuts - 6 grams protein Snack: large decaf coffee and 4 saltines Lunch: 8 ounces of beef barley soup and a bag of 94% fat free popcorn snack: dinner: snack: to be determined! I do however feel a large iced coffee coming down the pike shortly. All the coffee i drink is decaf i just enjoy the taste of it~ hugs, ANDI

I've never been a coffee drinker! I only drink water and Propel! Vitamins and water: no problems Food: B--1/2 whole wheat pita with ham and cheese and a squirt of light Ranch dressing toasted in the toaster oven. Yum! L--1/2 slice thin crust pizza, 1/2 cup fat free frozen yogurt S--I found these "Fiber One" bars with 9 grams of fiber in them so I'm going to try one of those, and a string cheese D--making chicken enchiladas in the crockpot. Yum! S after gym--sugar free pudding cup, south beach cookies Exercise: I'm taking a Spin class tonight from the "Butt Kicker" instructor so I fully expect to sweat like a pig! Goal: Stay on track with my eating today and no grazing. Yesterday I REALLY struggled with having the munchies so I'm trying to stick to my eating plan today. Deanna
