Thursdays Plan

It is kind of useless for me to post these next two days, but I will anyway!  I have a colonoscopy (oh fun) scheduled for Friday at 1 so for today I am having a shake this morning to try and get as much protein in for the day.  Then it is clear liquids after 9:00 am until after 1:00 tomorrow!  I have sugar free jello, apple juice, gatorade 2, crystal light, and white grape juice.  I may get some broth, but that has a lot of sodium in it, and the prep is all sodium, and I don't want an issue, so I will probably stick with what I have. 

Oh ya, did I mention that I get really nasty when I can't eat!!!

How about everyone else?

Oh yes, and I had my last 1/3 of my Mike's Pastry cannoli last night, because I knew I could not have it the next two days.

With you and Dave posting at the same time I had to chose... and I chose to post with you... banders need to stick together and if you arent eating, i dont want to see you get nasty (I know I get CRAZY nasty when I dont eat!)

Yesterday went alright. Didnt go out with the girls, went to the gym for an hour instead :) Ate what I planned on, except had a 100 cal pack of choc covered almonds.. mmmmm

So, here is the plan for today

Breakfast: 1/2cup cottage cheese with 10 grapes and 10 almonds
Lunch: chili with low fat cheese
Dinner: Plan on chicken and veg but there is ANOTHER softball game tonight so we will see what happens
Snack: I have the other half of the 100 cal pack of almonds from breakfast looking at me so Ill eat those at some point Im sure

I think Im going to hit the gym before the 6pm game... get in 40 minutes or so. In the past few weeks I have actually been losing, I think its the cardio I have been doing as of late :)

Finally, Random Question: why is there no elliptical listed on My Daily Plate? I would think that would be pretty commonly used. RIght now Im using brisk walk as a replacement.

i see how you are... i thought we were tight.... and you have known me longer (wah wah wah)

i use myplate also and i have never been able to find the Elliptical machine i figured it was just because i cant spell (like you guys couldn't tell) so i always use the calories that the machine gives me and input them manually ...

so what do you #'s usually look like on myplate???
i am around 1000-1300 cal and 90-120 protein

just wondering and i think you will find that the elliptical burns more than walking...

your EX-friend dave

boo Dave... I thought you would understand!! I don't know what came over me... must be the canolli going to my brains ;)

On my plate I usually am around 900-1200 calories (But I have NO idea how much I should be eating anyways) and 80-100g of protein which it yells at me for in big red numbers since, apparently, its too much.

I assumed I was spelling elliptical wrong too but I went online, did a spell check and copies and pasted it in and still nothing. It must be called something else (I know bike rides I have to look up bicycling... LAME!). Ill keep it at my brisk walk though, I figure its better to under estimate than over estimate.

Pokes 

Hey bamma and i are talking about training to do a 5k this fall we wondering if you wanted to join us?

Of course!!! I have been trying to get my run on but having the guy who can already run coaching me isnt very productive!

Let me know the plan and Ill be all over it!!

we are both going to get the couch to 5 k book... i'm going out at lunch to get it.. lets see we might be able to pass it back and forth so we dont all have to spend the money on it..

Well, I could not find the book at Borders, so I will look tonight or tomorrow online. 

Oh and Pokes you are right!!!  We banders need to stick together.  Not many of us!!
