Keeping on the Wagon - Monday

Here I go with my plan.... Today: B: Pro COmplex Chocolate Shake (thanks for all who suggested - I tried and I LOVE IT!). Made w/ 1 1/2 scoops powder and 8oz skim milke - approx 50g total. (I know I didn't absorb it all ...so I'm only counting 30g) S: 1/2 oz peanuts (3g) L: some low carb Lean Cuisine (15g) S: Crave control yougurt (7g) D: light string cheese (10g) S: CIB w/ skim milk (15g) Total: approx 80g Fluids: slow start today - only 8oz down. Will try to get 16 more in before lunch...32 after,and 32 after I leave work. Excercise: I have the pedometer on. it's a crazy run-around night. After work I have one lesson to teach, then a meeting, then band rehersal. No lunch walk as The Boy and the minister who is doing our ceremony are coming here for the office for a lunch meeting so we can plan things out. Hopefully I will find a way to sneak in at least 6,000 steps...somehow. Confessions: Yesterday was a strange day - I think that is why the scale only officially showed a 2lb loss for the week (I was down more before the weekend). I jsut was very eratic with the eating. I sat down to breakfast with friends and couldn't eat more than one bite (eggs)....I ordered stew for lunch (we stopped at Wawa after church) and there was hardly any meat in it - so I had some potatoes too. Then I got all "snacky" (darn white carbs)...gave my choir kids some pretzels for snack and had a couple of them with them. We were feeding a visiting college choir after a concert last night - I had a couple pickes (I know no big deal ...but the grazing is a no go for me usually)...then didn't get home until late and still sat down to a nice 1/2 cup of chili....at an hour that is much too late to be eating. Not to mention that I didn't even come close on the water. Oh well. Anyone else care to join me with plans and confessions?

Hey Patricia, I wanted to join you.....Here is my plan for today: Breakfast- 2 Egg Whites and cheese AM Snack- AdvantEdge Carb Control Protein Shake Lunch- 4 slices of Turkey Perpperoni and cheese Dinner- 2-3oz Turkey and 1 cup of Greens Water= 64oz I am on the protein train this week. And I will be doing WATP 4mile tape this evening. Kesha

OK have NO idea what I will eat today beyond the shake I have had but had to interject in here I TOLD YA SO.. LOL just kidding. Actually it is Felicia we have to thank for it!!!!!! Felicia sent me a sample of the pro-complex when there was none of them that I could tolerate and IT IS AWESOME!!! I am so glad that you tried it. And it is a GREAT boost to the day as well. OO FYI though when I talked to the NUT about it she said to just do 1 scoop and we only absorb 30-35 grams at a time so the other 1/2 was just wasted (ie. peed out) So for me it has been great as the big tub is not cheap and with just one scoop it goes a long way!!! Just my opinion though. Have an awesome day!!! Hugs, Melissa

HEY PATTI, GLAD TO JOIN YOU IN OUR PLANS. ISN'T THAT PRO-COMPLEX PROTEIN SOMETHING ELSE? BE GLAD YOU'RE SEEING A TWO POUND LOSS IN A WEEK. I'M ONLY SEEING A .5 # LOSS EVERY WEEK. VERY FRUSTRATING. B: 1 SCRAMBLED EGG W/ SOME KETSUP (don't remember grams) S: 1/2 SERVING OF PRO-COMPLEX CHOCOLATE (25gms) L: 1 4 OUNCE CAN OF BEENIE WEENIES W/ MUSTARD (14 gms) S: SOME LOW FAT WHEAT THINS W/ 2% CHEDDAR CHEESE AND SALSA D: LEFT OVER CORNED BEEF W/ CARROTS AND CABBAGE DIDN'T DO REALLY GREAT W/ FLUID INTAKE YESTERDAY AND TODAY HAS GOTTEN OFF TO A ROTTEN START. DON'T KNOW WHY I DO SO BAD W/ FLUIDS WHILE I'M OFF AND DO GREAT WHILE AT WORK. YOU'D THINK IT WOULD BE THE OPPOSITE. OH WELL! I'D BETTER GET STARTED ON THE FLUIDS. DONNA, SFY

Hmmmm....I'll try this one today.... B: 10 oz Isopure Zero Carb (20 g) S: 1/2 cup Cheerios w/ 1/2 cup skim milk & 1 Tbsp Wheat germ (8 g) L: Not sure yet....usually left overs, but those are all gone! Will have to go looking... S: Only if I feel the need....usually don't... D: 1.5 oz roast beef, potatoes (not sure how I'll fix them), broccoli (12 g or more depending on how much beef I can eat and how I fix the potatoes...) S: If needed, probably a protein bar, or some cheese, or maybe ham & cheese roll ups...OR maybe a cup of hot chocolate made with skim milk. So...that's my plan for the day. Not a great one, but it's a plan nonetheless...Working on fluids....those are going sloooooooowwwwww today.... Susan

S: 1/2 oz of beef jerky (6g) L: 2 - 3 oz of Beef Stew (11g) S: 1/2 of a revial protein bar (10g) D: 2 oz Chicken w/ mushroom gravy and 1 oz vedgetables (16g) S: Protein drink w/strawberries and Banana w/ soy milk (27g) Total: approx 75g Fluids: 24oz down.
