Morning all,

Off to work then the gym. DH is home for the week so I guess I will be cooking dinners all week instead of pulling single serve meals from the freezer.... lol.

I have been struggling to get my water in, only getting 3 or 4 cups a day in. I will focus on this for the next while until the habit is formed!!

B 2 egg whites w/ mushroom and onion, 2 slice deli ham, protein coffee

S 1 cup homemade protein shake

L 3 oz veal burger w/ all fixings, no bun, 1/2 c garden salad

D 4 oz baked trout, 1/2 c roasted brussel sprouts

S tea

Good morning everyone,

Yesterday everything went well until dinner … I ODed on cheese and cashews. All has been thrown out. I'll be doing the same Tanya --- more water. 

Today’s menu is…

B- Greek yogurt and ground flax

Snack- Skinny cappuccino

L-Cottage cheese

Snack-Greek Yogurt

D-Extra lean meatballs and tomatoes

Snack- Greek Yogurt

Cal-610, Carbs-53, Fat-16 Protein-63, Sugar-38, Chol-61

In the grand scheme of things, it could have been way worse - cheese could have been chips and cashews could have been chocolates. The dinner hour can be challenging for me too - empty after getting home from work and picking (to the point of filling up) while making dinner. I try really hard (and sometimes fail) to have dinner done ahead of time OR to have a portioned out snack or part of dinner ready if I feel the need to nosh.

Today will be a better day!

Thank you my friend. Have a wonderful day.

I am also terrible at the dinner hour. And terrible about planning. The challenge I did helped a  bit with planning, but i'm still terrible at it. Ross is better at it than me, thank God! But only slightly lol. 

Morning, morning!

Off to work, no errands to run after so I get to go home and veg in my pj's - woot!

Morning

Tanya and Libra I pretty much have to get back on the horse every few days.  Its not that I go crazy....but I am just out too much while south.  Its tough - but we are tougher - just have to get back on every morning and never give up or give in.

Out today to the baseball game - Twins and Jays - going with 20 other people with tailgating before ( ughh)  then out tonight to a banquet for my bocce league.  ( Bocce is the new shuffleboard for oldies....though I'm not 60 yet!)...Its actually fun and we hoot and holler a lot.

STEPS - 6200

EATS

B - 2 large mugs of coffee

     Premier protein shake with 1/2 small banana and ice blended

    1 Mich Ultra low carb beer

D - Not sure as I have not seen the menu yet....I have 500 calories inputted for dinner - unlikely I will eat more then this amount

Good morning.

Been a tricky time for food for me. I know i'm starting a slow carb load, but I feel like I want to go crazy. This morning I was thinking (dreaming) about an egg and bacon sandwich. I almost went and got one, but i'm sipping my protein coffee instead. 

I miss the challenge I was doing for this reason, but I was low on energy for my long runs, so I know I need it. More cheese and fruit for me.

B: protein coffee

S: noms date balls

L: gluten free turkey wrap (i'm having lunch with my preggo friend before she goes on mat leave. The place we go only has gluten free wraps and then really great looking exotic, but heavy bread).

S: rest of the wrap

S (before run tonight) Banana and almond butter

D: spaghetti squash and turkey meat sauce (made last night instead of turkey meatloaf muffins, because I was too hungry)

Not a huge amount of carbs, but more to come in the next few days. Sometimes I feel that I shouldn't post what I eat pre-race, in case our newbie friends think it's normal eating LOL

This site is driving me crazy this morning. I have been getting error messages for the last hour. I managed to miss a docotrs appointment this morning. I do not know why I thought it was tomorrow. Maybe because I have one today then one Thursday then hand clinic on Friday. Good it is slow at work. The worst part is I am not sure I know what it is for. It is probably to stick pins in me to find out why I have numbness. Since I have had this before and it is not pleasant it could be my way of avoiding it. Oh well. I have left them a message apologizing. Maybe I can tell them it is just old age and senility setting in.

Home tonight. My son comes for dinner on Tuesdays so always enjoy seeing him.

I received an e-mail from my brother who I was in Florida with. It has been 80 - 90 degrees lately. Poor guy. Hope he is not suffering too much.
