Nuthin But Nutrition Wednesday

Mid week is already here!  I kind of like Defying December that Karen threw out there...what do ya'll think?

Dear Becky...I just read your posts about the wt. yesterday wanting to creep up and hang on.   Ck on your meds and keep on eating like you are.
There probably is a reason why your body is doing this.  Hang in there!  It will work for you.  Don't let your head get in too bad of a place.  You've come so far and look great!

Today's plan:
lots of liquids
protein coffee being downed
Atkins Shake or small OH Yeah shake
SBUX SF skinny latte
lunch is up for grabs...probably will be bbq meat and beans...at a conference
I had a quesadilla for dinner last night so I will have my Chicken Cordon Bleu tonight

What's your plan?

I like Defying December too!  I am fighting the good fight and hanging in there but I want to throw in the towel and say to   with it all.  But I keep reminding myself that I have bought my Mardi Gras gown and I would hate for it not to fit when 02/06/10 gets here...I am hoping to have it taken up with all the weight that I can lose between now and then. 

Today's plan:
B-coffee now and eggs later
L-salad
D-salad with meat

Yesterday I did great until "mindless TV" watching time.  Then I grabbed a WHOLE bag of Sunchips and dug in.  I never take the whole bag with me to my chair but last night I did.  NO, I didn't EAT the whole bag but I had more than I should of.

Meals for yesterday:
Breakfast: small bagel with peanut butter
Lunch: London Broil sandwich
Dinner: 1/2 chicken breast, 1/2 cup hashbrown casserole
Snack: too darn many sunchips

Plan for today???  No breakfast, I'm out of time.  Lunch?  I have ham/cheese in the house.  Dinner?  Salad and some sort of solid protein???  Sorry-no plan formulated yet.

I like "Defying December" too.  It seems fitting.

have to be breif - busy day already
scale is still moving in the right directions but I am taking a day off from strick calorie counting and eating what I want that won't make me sick today - having company tonight for mexican potluck and wine - and sushi with brown rice for snack and lunch

everyone have a great day - work what works for you

I'm doing really good, adding one day to another meeting my goal.  I did go up to 1600 cal yesterday, but that was with a blood sugar drop, and I only went up to 1600 cal fixing it.  Woohoo for better planning.  I managed to navigate the dinner at Mimi's last night and was very satisfied with my choices.  I did change up my plan, but I looked at the menu before I got there and made some different dinner choices that allowed me to enjoy a couple pieces of their carrot bread.

Today I'm going to a pot luck at work, and I'm trying to plan ahead of time.  I may have to tweak my list a bit after but here is my plan so far:

Protein coffee
Egg beaters w/ ham, spinach, mushrooms and cheese
Ham & Smoked Salmon & cheesy squash casserole at potluck
Cottage cheese w/ salsa
Chili w/ beef or turkey (depends what's on sale at Sam's)
Apple

That puts me around 1400 cals so I have a little wiggle room for the pot luck.

I don't know what my weight is today because my scale decided the batteries were dead, so I'll see what tomorrow brings after the batteries recharge.

Well, I fell off the wagon on the 5 day pouch test yesterday. My weight is down today to 182 so that is good! I did good on the 1st day but yesterday I was just hungry, damn it! So yesterday I had:
B  Muscle Milk Lt Mocha Lotta Shake-15 gm p
Isopure-15 gm P
L Mocha lotte-15 gm, cottage cheese-15 gms P
Isopure-15 gm P
D Lean Cruisene Turkey w apples -19 gms protein, 15 gms carb
Before bed-Just Bunches Cereal 25 gms Carb, 5 gms P, Braums Milk-10 gms P-this was my big fowl up!!! So I went to bed and got up feeling guilty! Today will be better!!!!

B-Mocha Shake, 2 cups coffee
Isopure
L Mocha Shake
Isopure, SF Popcycles
S- Choc Shake, Chicken Broth
Lots of water in between. IF I can't make it I will stilck to soft proteins like cottage cheese...
This is harder than I thought! But yesterday, I think that I had the munch attack because my G-kids were here and had Pizza and while I didn't indulge that ; when they were gone and I was alone then I lost control..I Heard something great today from Ramon- I am grateful that I can act myself into the right way of thinking!! Love to all!
 

okay, I deleted that whiney arse post.  I was getting sick just looking at it.

I am having turkey and green beans only for lunch at our work thanksgiving lunch.  Dinner will be a shake I suppose.

I am feeling this 'fullness' in my gut and it's not constipation. I took a full dose of MOM last night and it made no difference. I was regular like every day.

Now I am wondering if my hernia is causing problems as well?  I have no 'pain' at all from it, like I would expect.  Any ideas on that?

Ok I'm posting again today to try to keep me in line.  I've got the munchies and I think I can attribute it to higher carbs than I've had the last few days.  My potluck choices weren't as good as I had hoped, but not as bad as I feared.  After dinner I'll be at 1700 cals, which is 200 higher than my goal, but not outrageous.  I'm just going to have to drink lots of water and hot tea to get through the munchy time this evening.
