WDYET?? THURSDAY!!!!!

WOW!!!!  What a great turnout yesterday!  It was so nice to see some old faces here, as well as some new ones too!  Monica P?????  Where are you??????????? 

I'm not feeling too great today....major sore throat on one side only.  Usually that means strep with me, but I'm keeping everything crossed that it's only a cold and nothing more.  Thank God the weekend is almost here so I can just relax! 

I did make a change this morning.....swapped my morning routine of a mocha frap with whip for a mocha LIGHT frap with no whip.  Wasn't quite as good, but still did the trick.   Maybe our Starbuck's queen Janel can let me know how much I saved by doing that!  LOL 

So, here's mine....come out and play and tell us what YOU are eating today!!!

LND:  open face tuna melt w/ cheese
LNS:  a "ho ho"...yummmmmmmm!!!  LOL

B:  mocha light frap
S:  pretzels
L:  getting ready to have some hot n sour soup in a few...hoping it will help my throat a bit.
S:  craving some cherry yoplait, so I will run down the street and grab some
D:  think I'm going to run to the deli for matzo ball soup....it's the magical cure!
S:  ????

Water:  not yet....I need to start
Vitamins:  yes
Exercise:  think I'll take today off unless I feel better

Hey you! Hope you feel better.  You probably need a nap.  LOL

I went to Dr. Billy this morning and we have a good plan to get the last 30 pounds off before the end of the year.  It's always so motivating to go to his office.  He's great with ideas and motivation.  I am going to follow up with him every 3 months to make sure I'm on track. 

LND- the insides of a gross chicken pot pie and a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese.  I couldn't figure out what I wanted!

B- yoplait light and a 1/2 plum

L- Carls Jr burger, 1/2 bun

D- I have chicken in the crock pot, I'll make zucchini and yellow squash and mashed potatoes.  I also made a chocolate cake, but I'll skip that!

v- yes
w- pretty good so far
e- I actually did go on a bike ride with Timmy last night, and I'll try to go on another tonight

Yep....you know me too well.  I LOVE my naps!  LOL

So....tell me about Dr. Billy's "plan".

The short story is 1750 calories a day, add a 30 minute bike ride or walk each day, and instead of my annual appointments we're meeting every 3 months and I need to go to the monthly support group.  He has a new facility that has everything under one roof, so if I need to see the nutritionist, I need to make an appointment.  They also have trainers that come in and do exercise classes twice a day. The plan is to have me where I want to be by Christmas.

NOTE:  If it seems like 1750 calories sounds like a lot, it's because I'm 6'1.  He did a whole metobalic workup on me based on my muscle mass, height, weight, etc. and that's the number he came up with. 

OK I will play again today!

LND: half of a chicken breast and a small piece of garlic bread
LNS: nada

B: Protein shake
S: a few frosted mini wheats (I know, random!) and a string cheese several hours apart
L: dunno yet, I have to go to the store and see what I can find, I think I might get a few slices of lunchmeat from the deli counter
S: I have a yogurt....
D: I think I'm going to grill off some hamburger patties and smother one in browned onions...and I have an eggplant to cook, guess I will throw that on the grill too!
S: probably nothing

Water: not even close today, which is a good reminder to start drinking it
Vits: calcium down, multis not yet, I will take one when I eat lunch
Exercise: I dont know, I need to do something but I still cant walk on my ankle...maybe I will get out my exercise ball and do some core work??

Wow today is full of question marks for me, can you tell I am feeling kind of blah in general? LOL


Shells

Ooooh.....the burger with onions sounds yummy!  I used to HATE onions before my surgery.  I still don't dig raw onions, but cooked onions....MMMMMMmmmmmmmmm!  Funny how our tastes change!

Well sharing is caring right?

LND:  2 shots of rum & mojito mix
LND:  repeat of above

B:  SlimFast Low Carb w/coffee; baked oatmeal bar
S:  Egg Mockmuffin; salsa
L:  Chips & salsa; cadalliac margarita
S:  Chicken Salad
D:  ???

Mmmmmmmm....margarita for lunch!  Now that sounds like what I need today!  :-)

What is an "egg mock muffin"?

Girl and that puppy was STRONG...we're talking two hours later and I'm still tipsy.  I just ate my "lunch" to soak up the alcohol, lol.

Egg mockmuffin was posted by someone.  You take a lb of ground turkey (I add onions) and brown it, drain and season.  Allow to cool.  Take about 6 eggs scramble them and add cheese and mix in cooled ground turkey.  Spray a muffin tin with pam and scoop about 1/4-1/3 cup of mixture per muffin.  Cook 350 for 20 minutes.  They pop right out the muffin tin and there you have 12 quick ready to go little egg mockmuffins.  They can be frozen and many variations can be made too.

Hope that all made since cause I'm tipsy =)

But where's the muffin?  That's the best part!  LOL
