Going to the Phoenixville support group tonight so I doubt I will feel up to exercising.

I am having a really hard time getting back with the program since the holidays.  More so with my exercise than my eating.

Here is the plan for today:

1 hour Karate
1 hour treadmill

B:  Jimmy Dean's De-lite breakfast sandwich
S:  cottage cheese, apple
L:  3 oz tuna, light mayo, green pepper, soup
S:  wasabi peas
D:  Turkey burger, cheese, roasted veggies
S:  Cheese and triscuts

thoughts and prayers going out to our Liz today.  She's been through quite enough in my opinon!

Anyway....

B:  2 cheesesticks 16gm
S:  Greek yogurt 17gm
L:  Left over chicken fajitas from dinner last night - 15gm (more veggies than chicken....so I'm figuring two ounces of chicken and then some cheese - so it's probably over the 15)
S:  Ricotta cheese 21gm
D:  Eggs/bacon 12gm
S:  ??

I'm 14+ mos out

Thanks Kathy for keeping this going for me!

My concentration today is FLUIDS. I am sipping a cup of decaf tea now and will keep it going! Maybe a few crackers.

This morning I was down 2 pounds, not the right way though.

L:  Eggplant (not fried) appetizer and salad with chicken (14 g)
S:  string cheese and leftover green beans
D:  Turkey Caprese Meatloaf and sauteed mushrooms

Ok, I am becoming frustrated here...now that I am eating right again and taking off my vitamins again and trying to exercise, I have had sciatic pain, muscle and joint pain, and now a fg cold with sore throat, fever, swollen glands, hacking cough...this is realllllly ******g me off!

I slept very late, but was wide awake till after 3am for some reason.  I am sipping tea now and will try to eat something in a bit.  I have tilapia defrosted for dinner.  I had planned to go to the gym, but that's not looking so good now...
