More to lose... Monday (6/12)...

Good morning... Today, I have a plan... I think that's half the battle... let's see if I stick to it!!! I've planned more calories than usual to see if that helps me stay on task. My goal is to stay under 1200. Althouh fitday seems to think I can eat 1600 calories and lose. Seems like a lot to me. Here we go: Breakfast: Tilapia Applesauce Snack: AchievOne Lunch: Grilled Chicken Swiss Cheese Romaine Lettuce Lite Dressing Snack: AchievOne Dinner: Salmon Green beans Snack: Sugar free pudding Sugar free popsicles Nutrition: 1112 Calories 20 Fat 49 Carbs 143 Protein Exercise: 75 minutes - water aerobics - DONE!!! Have a great day!!! Denise

Good morning all. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, so I better get back on track and be good to myself! I'm going to be strict today and hopefully get back into the high protein diet - gotta get those carbs out of my system. Here's the plan: B: Isopure Zero carb protein drink L: Unjury protein drink D: Grilled chicken breast, grilled veggies (green pepper, asparagus, onion) Totals: Calories: 444 Carbs: 10 Protein: 88 Hopefully that will be it. If I really need to have a snack, I have SF Jell-o, another protein drink or unsweetened applesauce available. I plan to walk for 30 minutes this afternoon, then do another 30 minute walk or 30 minute WATP video later on this evening. I also want to start drinking way more water than I have been - the only problem with that is figuring out just when I'm going to take my walk so I'm not running back for the bathroom!! Hugs, Nancy

I'm backkkkkkkkkkkkkk. LOL I'm with you Nancy! This is it, time to crack down!!! I haven't done too bad today yet. B: Southbeach Protein Bar S: couple of slices of cheese and 2 crackers L: turkey and cheese slices S: no sugar applesauce D: Not sure yet.

Hi Michelle!! I'm so glad to see you back here! I hope you hang around - the more the merrier!! Sounds like you have a good plan today! Hugs, Nancy

Hi Ladies I've been busy getting my house back in order and not necessarily staying away from the sweets. I made a homemade cake and pasta dish to celebrate my basement getting back in order and I had more than my share of cake. My scale is reading 184, so I guess I haven't been too bad, without a plan. I still haven't gotten back into the grove yet of cooking my healthy dishes or even buying frozen meals to get over those humps. I will do much better, I've already started today. So Far: 4:30 Breakfast Turkey Sausage 8:00 Protein Smoothie 12:00 Baked Ravioli w/meat Sauce Planned Snack Strawberries Dinner Salad I am fighting the urge to buy something crunchy from the vending machine. I'm not even hungry. So everytime I think about it, I've been drinking my crystal light. So far its working. If I can hold out until I get my crunchy, fresh salad, I'll be ok. I know I can do it. If I can cut out those impulse snacks, I'll be cool. Have a great week

Ok I could not resist, I had to get a snack, I didn't eat the strawberries because they are soft and I was craving crunchy. My intent was to get honey roasted nuts in the single serving bag. They didn't have any. I purpously took only enough money for what I was going to buy. Instead I got pork skins. Only 80 calories, 5g fat and 7 g of protein. This is much less than the peanuts I would have had. I once read on one of the boards that the protein in skins was not the right protein and didn't count. Has anyone else read this? Teah

I don't think that's true... protein is protein and if it's listed on the Nutitional Facts as protein... it's protein!!! I've heard that Lowery's has a microwave pork skin that is out of this world. I can't seem to find it in St. Louis, but many on another board swear by it to curve the snacking demon... You made a good choice... glad you're back. We've missed you!!! Denise

HI Denise! I used to live in Missouri, they have those pork skin things at Walmart. Sometimes up by the register with the snacks. Michelle

Hey thanks Michelle...

Denise, I get the Lowery's micro pork rinds at my local K-Mart - do you have one in your area? The only problem with them is that if you let them go even a couple of seconds too long, they turn into hard little rocks!! Hugs, Nancy
