August Adventure Monday

Our August Adventure continues...what type of adventure are you going on?  Make a plan and stick to it as closely as you can.

Yesterday started for me w/ a protein filled brunch...got it all my liquids and doses of protein...had some popcorn last night, but it didn't even taste good to me. 

Today's plan:
lots of liquids
at least 2 protein drinks
chicken for lunch w/ red beans and rice
poppyseed chicken for dinner
high protein snack
fruit if needed

What's your adventure plan for today?

Good Morning Karla,

I am getting back to what I need to be doing today. My plan for this week is to low carb to rid my body of the junk I had over the weekend. 

Faith, great avatar!

Thanks Dana!

Karla, I'm on the adventure for August; no time like now to get my butt back on track.  Today is shakes only because I do better NOT thinking about what I'm eating or planning.  I'll do 2-3 days for shakes only then back to what worked after surgery........lean meats and green leafy veggies for a couple of days, THEN I'll add fruit and such back.

I'm saying goodbye to all rice, potatoes, chips, chocolate, pretzels, bread until I get back to my goal weight.

I just joined the August adventure yesterday because I really need to get back focused on taking care of me.  I have been letting personal stuff bring out that old me, the one that uses food for comfort and avoids life.  I never want to go back there.  So my goals for August are:

1.  get back to running/walking and lifting weights at least 3 times a week

2.  get refocused on proteins first and water/tea only (no sodas, ugh!)

3.  get all vitamins/supplements in daily and on schedule

4.  figure out how to make deeper friendships so that I have people to turn to instead of food.  I find myself still keeping people at a distance and I don't know how to fix that.  I have met so many wonderful people in the past year and I love them, but I still keep a wall up.  I have no idea why.

I have all my pills in their baggies for the week.  I have my meals ready and waiting for me as well as good snacks.  Only water and tea in the house.  And I'm heading to the gym in just a couple of minutes.  Have a great day all!

Getting back on track today after a Sunday of horrible eating.  It was one of those days when I just ate all day long; nothing high in sugar or calories just too much of a good thing.  I'm paying for it today with a grouchy pouch and a generally yuckie feeling.  So it's back on track today.

Started with coffee
B - a peach, Greek yogurt and granola
S - another cup of coffee please!
L - Homemade fish chowder (peppers, onions, potatoes, celery and cod cooked in crushed tomatoes and clam juice)
S - Celery sticks with hummus
D - Ham and cheese roll ups with raw vegetables

I have temporarily dropped the protein shakes from my diet after a flare up of gout in my knee.  I'm trying hard to get my protein from real food rather than shakes.  That's what my doctor prefers.  I need to sit down today and plan my meals for the rest of the week.

Hi Everyone:

Today's Meal Plan:
B'fast, Lunch: Turkey, cheese, Egg Whites, & Fried Pork Skins
Snack: Protein Shake
Dinner: Grilled Chicken Salad
Snack: Almonds

Hoping to up my calories so that I can maintain.
