On Track Team

Ok another day is apon us.. How did we do yesterday. Did we cheat, or follow our plan. What do we need to avoid.. come one come all and stay on track. Vitamins- done Water- already working on it Food B- protein shake S- protein bar L- chicken S- protein balls D- chicken and veggies S- ice cream I sound like a broken record but it works... totals 1250 cals and 132 protein. I tell you uping the protein has made a big difference. I dont seem to bouncing up and down between so many pounds and I am staying at the low end unlike the past. I lost another pound as well which I usually dont do during this part of the month. I also feel better and fuller now. Exercise- meet with my trainer and do elliptical Goal-- stay on track.. I ate about 5 pieces of cininmon sf candy yesterday. That is one of my downfalls.. sf hard candy and I never suck on them.. I always bite them... bad for me... will stay away from them today...

hey carla I know I've asked this countless times before but... how do you make your protein balls and what is the calorie & protein count in them please??? I know it's peanut butter & oats or something?? I need to up my protein and I'm getting fed up with chicken

1 cup of peanut butter.. 1 cup of oatmeal (not the instant) 1 cup of chocolate whey protein.. I use isopure myself but there are tons of other brands. 5 teaspoons/packets of artificial sweeter.. you may not need this if your protein is sweet. warm the pb in the microwave for about 45 seconds.. mix all together.. you may need to add a little water to get it all wet and sticking together.. Roll balls, place in fridge. makes 24 balls about the size of a walnut.. Each caloric intake... 110 calories, 11 grams of protein. fat is continugent on if you use low fat pb or not.. I do.. Not to bad.. they are kind of dry but get wet when they are in your mouth.. I eat two a day which gives me 22 grams of protein for 220 calories.. not to bad I think. For a couple more calories I could have the protein drink and get even more but I like the ease of the balls. I can take them in my purse and eat them while I am on the road. It doesnt need to be heated or kept cool and they are kind of crunchy so you get to chew something.. they also stay with you a long time... that I really like.

Thanks Carla I'm going to make some and try to snack on these instead of the carbs I've been consuming lately. I think that will make a good trade - carbs for protein.

that sounds very good I am going to try them too

Yes i stayed on track for the first time...like EVER!!!! I feel so great so here goes it for today! Vitamins: Will do Water: Working on it but will happen Food: B: Protein smoothie (protein powder, yogurt, berries) S: grapes L: swordfish & veggies S: turkey roll up (turkey, spinach, avo in a low carb/low fat wheat tortilla) - 110 calories...love them D: Southwestern chicken (chicken, corn, black beans and salsa made in the crock pot) S: Sugar free pinapple pie (will post the receipe cause it is FABULOUS!) I too am trying to up the protein to see if it breaks this plateau...plus not eating out and I noticed I did not eat anything processed yesterday...yea for me!!!! Exercise: yes, personal training tonight...planning on going early to get in more cardio Goal: To do as well as yesterday...stay on track...no nibbling, munching or grazing!

way to go.. I am glad to hear you are sticking to the plan.. Yeah.. the upping the protein broke my 1 1/2 month long plateau. I know on the plateau diets it's always an increase in protein that does it and it seems to be working for me.. I have lost another pound this week, havent been working out hardly at all and increased my calories by 200 plus.. go figure. you will do great.. just stick to the plan.. and get on the road to success again. im proud of you..
