Keeping on the Wagon Monday

Weekend confessions: None. Saturday I was so busy. Breakfast was a low carb lean cuisine. Then I was so busy with packing and cleaning and sorting my apartment that I didn't even think of food. I was back at The Boys by 4 - I made a shake, we went to the mall (to get our wedding bands) and ate at the food court for dinner - I had "chicken terryaki" from the Japanese place - no rice, no sauce. Yesterday I wasn't hungry at all - I nibbled on eggs in the morning, lunch meat in the afternoon and finished the day with a shake. All in all - I hit the 60g of protein minimum both days. My main confession is that on Saturday I hardly drank a thing. I had a sip of water in the morning. Sipped a bit on the ride back to The Boy's place and then had a bottle of water in the evening - NOT ENOUGH. I tried to catch up yesterday, but the damage was done. My calves feel like they are on fire....(they cramp when I don't drink enough) - while they aren't cramping today - they feel like I've pulled the muslces or something - very stiff. Must get more water in today! The plan for today: B: Pro-complex 1 scoop w/ 8oz skim milk (30g) S: 1oz cheese w/ multi grain crackers (8g) L: low carb lean cuisine (15g) S: Not sure - I think the milk in the fridge here at work has gone bad. If it hasn't I'll have CIB w/ skim milk..if it HAS..I'll have 1oz peanuts. so either 15g or 7g depending. D: ...my bridal shower is tonight at 7pm. I know I have a friend (who had WLS 3 years ago) coming - and she is bringing lunchmeat or cheese....I am sure there will be other things to nibble on to get me to my protein requirement for the day. Water: Doing well so far, 16 oz down...plenty more to go. Excercise: I have my pedometer on and sneakers in the car. I'm not going to the gym tonight due to the shower, but I'm planning on a good walk at lunch time.
