August Adventure Thursday

Almost a week into our adventure...how is yours going?

I went walking yesterday and sure felt better about myself for doing it.  I walked 1.5 miles.  I could have done more, but needed to get on with the rest of my day.  I plan on going back this morning.  I will do at least 2 miles.

Today's plan:
lots of liquids...I usually get in between 14-16 cups = 112 to 128 or so oz.
at least 2 protein drinks...working on one right now
salad w/ meat/cheese for lunch
leftover chicken enchilada quiche for snack if needed
taco casserole for dinner

yesterday Ben went fishing and brought home a whole ice chest full of fish...he cooked that for supper...sauteed w/ egg drop soup and an oriental sauce on the fi**** was healthy and good, though probably high in sodium.

Sounds like everyone's sticking to their strict plans and doing a great job of it: Faith, Dana, and Steph...hope I didn't leave anyone out.

Dee...hope you like your new gym and keep those walls crumbling...I hope I get to see you again in Sept. at the conference.

What's your plan for today?

Another good food day, water was lacking so I need to push liquids more today I think.  I'm experiencing leg cramps probably due to low sodium and all the potty runs.  I'm taking potassium and magnesium everyday so it's not that I don't think.

Pickle juice was suggested by a few on FB so I stopped at the store this morning for pickles because they made me want one, haha.

Just 2 more days til vacation and I'm out of here til Wednesday.  I told Blane yesterday we need to plan foodwise because I don't want to mess up what I've accomplished this week.  I am literally not carving anything already, I'm eating and doing protein shakes because I have to.  It still amazes me how little I can actually eat when I'm high-protein eating and not those evil carbs.  Now it's totally a different story when the carbs attack.

I THOUGHT I did good yesterday but the scale put me up nearly a pound this morning.  Oh well, could be fluid or the need to potty.  I'm not stressing just gonna keep doing what I know works. 

Breakfast: protein drink
Lunch: ham/cheese on mini croussant, 1/4 cup coleslaw
Snack: 1 cup LF trash
Dinner: 4 oz chicken parmesan, 1/2 cup spaghetti with meat sauce
Snack: 1 serving SF/FF pudding

Vitamins are in for today, defrosting a protein drink, drinking as we speak.  Lunch will be leftover chicken parm.  Dinner:???

Way to go Karla on the walking.  That's something I really need to do.  Dana you're doing fantastic, keep it up.  I'm running away this weekend to the land of fried seafood-my weakness so I'll TRY to be good 2 meals a day so I can splurge at night.

 

 

Good Morning Karla & Adventurers!

I am still sticking to my plan of low carbing.  Today is my BF's birthday. I purchased a petite cake from Wally World so I would not be tempted to eat too much tonight. 

My plan for today:

B-just getting in to work IDK yet
L-taco salad without the taco sauce and shell
D-pork chop and salad...teeny tiny piece of cake with a dollup of ice cream
Water-96 ounces in an attempt to wash away the carbs.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WHO IS TRYING TO STICK WITH THIS....WLS IS NO JOKE!

Really trying to stick to my meal plan....

My Plan for Today:
B'fast - Turkey, Cheese, & Egg Whites
Lunch: Ground Chicken Patty, Lettuce, Tomatoe, Pickles & Mustand
Snack: Peach
Dinner: Protein Shake

Late posting today but was up and out of the house very early and wasn't able to post. 

Karla - thanks for asking about the gym.  I think I've decided to do the YMCA.  The one here in McKinney is nice and has all the basics I'm looking for, plus with my income, the monthly fee is very reasonable.  I went and tried it out this morning and it was great.

I've gotten all my vitamins/supplements in today.  Still working on those walls - got some personal stuff going on and can't seem to let myself lean on someone else to help me through it.  BUT I have been trying to figure out why I do that and I think it's because I've been super overweight all my life.  I've never really felt like I deserved a good friend, like I was a burden or something.  I would always be there for everyone else, and even let some "friends" use me because of it, but I wouldn't or couldn't let them or expect them to be a friend back to me . . .ya, I know, that was deep lmao

Forgive me, for I sinned today at lunch.  I did so good and brought my lunch with me to my all day training but then I met a new group of ladies that I will be working with this year and they asked me to lunch.  I really wanted to spend time getting to know them, so I went.  Ugh, we went to Fuddrucker's so I had part of a burgers and some fries - sooo not the best choice.  But I'm forgiving myself and moving on and will have a nutrituous dinner.

Hope all have had a great day!
