May 9 - Daily diet & exercise journal

Today was one of those screwy days where I didn't eat much or at a decent hour! ****************************************************************************************** FOOD Snack:  StarBeck's skinny cini dulce latte (8oz milk, 8oz coffee, 3 splenda and a shot of S/F syrup) Breakfast:  Tea party at daughter's perschool at 11:30.  Had 2 bites of some sort of triffle-pudding thing and a sip of pink lemonade (daughter helped make it so I had to pretend to eat and drink!) Lunch:  String cheese stick on the drive to 1pm Gymnastics class Snack:  Small Wendy's chili with 6 saltines @4pm Dinner:  LOL...plans have ALREADY changed!!  Hubby is working WAY late and we're now having thin crust (well done) pizza with Canadian bacon, onion,mushrooms and olives around 9-ish.  I'm usually good for 1 and a 1/2 slices of this.   FLUIDS 8oz milk 8oz coffee 32oz water more after dinner! EXERCISE My plans for going to the YMCa today has fallen by the wayside at every turn!  This morning didn't work due to Gracie's school activities, then there was her gymnastics class.  I figured I'd go after that but theydon't have child care open between 2 and 4 so we went shopping at the greenhouse for plants.  I'm hoping to go in just a few minutes though!  LOL....we'll see!! **Update**  I got to the gym at 7:15 but they said childcare closes at 8 so I only got 37 minutes on the treadmill tonight!  Oh well, can't say it wasn't for lack of trying, more so lack of planning!

Today has been a great day, I've done alot around the house and with the boys help we got through alot of the laundry as well! breakfast:  6 oz. milk and a scoop of banana scream snack: a small handful of pecans lunch: Wendy's junior bacon cheeseburger with no bun, 1/2 baked potato with butter, sour cream and cheese snack: 1/4 Snicker's marathon bar dinner: both wings off a Costco rotisserie chicken  snack: popcorn with butter, less than a cup

Glad to hear you are doing better!  Think I can borrow your boys for my laundry too?? So, what's the verdict on the Snicker's protein bars?  I think they are the BOMB!  Kinda high on carbs but I don't think you nessecarily have to worry about those do you?  I just have to go light elsewhere when I have one.  I'm starting to cut the whites out of the diet more anyway so it all balances out in the end.

You were right, they are the best protein bars I have had yet.  I am still looking for the RocknRoll bars though.  As far as the carbs go, yeah I have to watch the sugar not so much the complex carbs.  But since one of those bars was good for 3 different snacks over 2 days.  I think I will be alright.   Yeah getting the whites out of my life as well, 100% whole wheat bread, bagels and english muffins in my house.  Protein first for me - I am not a protein nazi though I really  think we need fiber in our bodies to - well - you know - keep us going.....oh and the boys are great help but you have to be good at duck herding to keep them moving in the right direction.

Beck u attending tuesday?? I checked target and no TWISTED BARS!!!!!! WAAAA dawn

If I can figure out a way to be there I am planning on going! Here's my problem.... My nephew is going to be staying with us for a few days.  He'll be here from Sunday night onward.  He's the one with the broken jaw that has pins, plates and wires holding things in place.  His mother is scheduled for a hysterectomy on Tuesday but has the pre-ops and bowel prep (TMI, i know...) on Monday.  BIL has to work (military) and 17-year-old niece has school.  Sis doesn't think she can handle taking care of herself in a percocet haze in addition to her 13-year-old baby's percocet haze!!  LOL....they are a motley bunch!!   Josh (the nephew) is actually getting around and drinking fluids well so leaving him alone long enough to go to pick up Gracie from school or something won't be an issue but not sure about a couple of hours.  I'm going to ask sis though as I'm sure at 13 he'd jump at the chance for a couple of hour of parental (even if it's an aunt) freedom! He might be willing to come into town with me though and that would solve everything!

wow. what happen to him? I havent been in the loop much this week Hows mr entertainment feeling??things going well> dawn

Skateboard mishap!   Mr. Entertainment is already jogging 2 miles a day!!!  He's eating like there's no tomorrow but he's also down about 18 or so pounds!!  GRRRR!!!!!!!! I, on the other hand, have stalled out again!!  LOL, I guess the pizza tonight didn't help, huh?
